Good Morning, Set Hike! Pod

The boys accidentally become an international sensation, most notably in Southeast Asia, and immediately respond by discussing… Tunisia ladder war crimes, the backside of the moon being "mid," and whether aliens would respect Steve Buscemi. Somewhere between Call of Duty diplomacy, Nutella in space, and picking Dustin Hoffman as Earth's ambassador, this episode spirals into a philosophical debate about alien negotiations and golf betting strategy. Stat Boy casually solves global listener analytics like he's running the NSA, while Panda Dan builds a résumé as the world's most confident amateur golf gambler — and somehow parlays that into designing a Masters champions dinner so aggressively Philadelphian that Rory McIlroy's elk sliders never stood a chance. By the end, we learn three things: the moon is overrated, Vietnam is listening, and if aliens arrive, we're either sending a world-renowned hostage negotiator… or an A-list Hollywood actor who pretends to be one.

Transcript

Dr. TAT 0:19

Welcome everyone to the 20th inaugural episode of the Seth Podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Tat, and with me as always Panda Dan. Stepboy. And that's all, folks. We're back to three. I don't know. The in-person guests, it it seems to be coming uh less of a frequent event here. We've scared some of them away. Yeah. Yeah. We I think we have a few that have requested to join. We might have one in a few weeks that I can tell you guys about. But but yeah, we we we we we should probably start reaching out to people to see if they ever want to join, you know? It's weird how we just we assume someone's gonna show up and we don't tell them what time we're recording. But you know, sometimes it it it actually happens that way, right? Yeah. Yeah. Like McGurk just kind of just walks by. I mean, there's a good chance McGurk maybe just shows up out of nowhere and just pops on, you know? Yeah. Yeah, we should re we should invite McGurk back those episodes. It's a handsome devil. Yeah. It's hard, it's hard to get him because he's probably at some sort of like Malibu male posing shoot or you know, some sort of banana hammock 500, you know.

Stat Boy 1:23

Yeah, he might be getting ready for the summer though. So he might be like cutting down a little bit for the winter bulk. Yeah.

Dr. TAT 1:28

I I do think that's a big part of of this time of year. And his friend Moriarty, him and Moriarty have always been great friends, and yeah, I think Moriarty's moving back to Philly area. So I'm so excited for that. You know that Eric's gonna want to look good for Moriarty. Well, we all know that. I mean, and it's nice because we'll have a second fake doctor. And so, you know, we'll have Dr. Green and Dr. Tad, and we could definitely have a medical episode in the future. Yeah, that sounds fantastic. Yeah, that would be awesome. How are you doing, Dan? Good. Yeah, everything's good. Little Yeah, been a little busy, but but yeah, all good and happy to be able to. It's always a joy to be with you guys and with our listeners. And yeah, there's good sports going on. There's Artemis 2 is still in space, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah. And day eight. Yeah. So what's going on in the world right now? Geopolitical stuff going on. Uh yeah, I think I think it's important, guys. We owe our listening base. We have to talk about that. Yeah. I was about to say, Dan, you and I are on the same page. We have to talk about the current geopolitical situation right now. It is pretty interesting what's going on. The Seth podcast now has 11 countries listening to our fine work here.

Stat Boy 2:41

Statboy, could you go down the list for us, please? Yeah, we have quite a few new ones listening in there. So uh thank you, world. Besides the United States.

Dr. TAT 2:50

Before we know, I can't wait to hear what Statboy's gonna reveal, but we we should also interrupt it. We should also note that we had Bend Oregon, which could be Boardman, Oregon guy. Oh, yeah. That's kind of what kicked us off. We had we had Ben Bend, Oregon, which I heard is actually a nice town. Where is it in relationship to Boardman, do you think?

Stat Boy 3:10

It's I don't know. It's actually further it's closer to the coast, and I think it's like three hours southwest of it, and it's it's kind of directly below Portland.

Dr. TAT 3:20

Okay. Yeah. No, I've heard Ben's night. Someone was just telling me that recently that they had like a sister that do you think it's the same person that has migrated to a different part of the state, or do you think that he told one of his friends? I don't know. I mean, we've always just assumed that Boardman, Oregon person is a guy. Like we always say boardman, Oregon guy. Yeah. Nothing really leads us to. Could be a robot. Yeah. Probably is a robot, actually. Yeah. It's not a robot, it's a human. He probably called one of his buddies and he's like, hello, Ben, please listen to the podcast set Ike. And, you know, I think that's how you get downloads. Hey, listen, I all we need is the downloads, right, Dan? Yeah. Right? I mean, that's how you get paid. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So so probably like shortly after we recorded the last episode last week, we we saw Ben, Oregon, and immediately we were like, well, it might be the same Boardman, Oregon guy, like maybe he's vacationing in Ben, you know. Yeah. And we were excited. And and then like a few days ago, we were looking at, you know, our metrics and our RD department was, you know, giving us the reports, the day. Shout out. And we just had this like kind of explosion of countries, like re-listening to our podcast. Yeah, now that we've gotten the more important Oregon part of this out, Sad Boy, could you tell us what countries we have now? So let's go back to the international piece.

Stat Boy 4:41

So, yeah, we we originally had a couple of the few past ones we've we've gathered was Bahamas. We've had Australia, we've had Germany, Gutentag. And then one of our most recent ones, but not of the most recent, it was Spain. So outside of that, over the last, I don't know, yeah, last week we had five new, six new countries listen into us, and one of which we actually know one of the listeners because that listener was our one dear friend Turtle. Yeah. But outside of that, yeah, there's randomly explosion. And of the largest country that we've had, we had Vietnam really dial in on us for some reason. They uh they've we've had about nine downloads from those folks out there, and then we've had one from or two from Tunisia. Uh Lama. Yeah. We had one from Xinchau for Columbia, Vietnam. The Columbia Ola. Yeah. And the most re and then our Argentina, and then the most recent from today was Iraq. Yeah. It didn't look like the far sea. I'd like to welcome Salamu Alakum. Are we learning?

Dr. TAT 5:44

Are we learning? Peace be upon you. Oh, nice. That's what they say. That's how you say hello in kind of a far C language. Nice. Yeah.

Panda Dan 5:49

Yeah. I mean, first of all, I mean, we hear it said I we connect the world together, and we'd like to welcome all of our global listeners. I mean I would too. What a joy. Um especially Vietnam really skyrocketed up the top there. Like we had, you know, we had America and then Vietnam's now second. Like by a lot. So welcome. And Tunisia, I do want to talk about a little bit too.

Stat Boy 6:16

Please. Yeah, let's let's let's ponder why. Like what's what's your thoughts on Tunisia? It sounds like you have something.

Dr. TAT 6:22

I don't I have no idea where all these listeners are coming from. I do know that Dr. Tat and I used to play Call of Duty a lot, the video game. Pete's in Walsner Pete's basement. Yeah. Old Pete, Walmart Pete. Yep. So and I remember we used to like w there were different levels there. There was England, France, and then Tunisia had some great after Call of Duty. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we would we would often play Call of Duty in Tunisia, and it was like always a lot of fun. And we would smoke it up because they you could throw smoke bombs. Yeah. And there were like all these different caves and everything. It was like it was like one of our greatest. Like it would be like a Saturday afternoon. We would just say, Do you want to go smoke it up in Tunisia? aka played Call of Duty in Walmart Pete's house. It was a World War II game, Stat Boy. And I think one of the important things is that one of the fronts of World War II was Northern Africa. And I believe Tunisia is a largely French-based Northern African country. And you can correct me if I'm wrong, Statboy, but kind of in that general space, you know, kind of a neighbor of Egypt. And yeah, we used to play. And that game, Call of Duty 2, I mean, boy, I mean, just start playing the Matt Damon GIF in your head because I I feel like such an old talking about Call of Duty 2. But back in our day, when you played multiplayer Call of Duty, you know, everyone's kind of playing in the same room. Screen watching was a very common activity and one that was frowned upon. I think you're familiar with screen watching, Dan. You were a famous screen watcher. I don't think so. I think people would screen watch me because I would just I always had the sniper and I would just like sit somewhere with the sniper and I think and then you would watch other people's screens and shoot them. Yeah, no, I remember. Yeah. But what I always remember is that we developed something called the ladder rule. So basically, Tunisia, uh, as anyone knows, is the ladder capital of Northern Africa. That's where it was originated. So we used to, if you were on a ladder during the multiplayer game, even if you were the most, you know, seditious screen watcher, if I was on a ladder, I could just yell ladder, and I would basically be able to be invulnerable. Like it was basically our Geneva, right? Or our Swiss. It's like neutral territory within the map.

unknown 8:36

Yeah.

Dr. TAT 8:36

Because early on, if you were on a ladder and you would get shot, and it it just seemed so unethical and like immoral. It was like a war crime. So we were weak. We had a discussion, you know, a fireside chat among everyone playing, and we were like, it was a ceasefire that we developed that was very specific, and it was, you know, something that we really focused on. Yeah. Yeah. Something that if you were on a ladder, and but you kind of had to say it as you had to be like louder. Yeah. I agree. And you had to, the second syllable had to be a little bit higher than the first one, right? Loud. You can clear your throat. You can be like, oh no, yeah. So yeah. I think about eight, eight of the listeners will really enjoy that anecdote. And then I mean, who knows? The people in Ho Chi Minh and Hanway might even get into that too. You know, do you think they play Call of Duty 2 in Vietnam? Oh. Oh, uh pause. Yeah, probably.

Stat Boy 9:28

Probably a little click. He's just he's just going back and forth. No, I'm just thinking like, you know, former war from that area. It's probably something they don't really want to re- Well, it's World War II, you know.

Dr. TAT 9:37

We're we're not playing a video game of Vietnam. So they probably don't want to have that memory of that. I don't even think they made a Vietnam War Call of Duty, because that would just not be enjoyable. Yeah.

Stat Boy 9:45

No, I think they might have. Did they really? I think they might, yeah.

Dr. TAT 9:48

Yeah. I mean, the best war game that I would play, and it wasn't even a war game, was Goldeneye. And then that that story was similarly Was that that was that World War II? No, that was more like Cold War, right? Like 60s or 70s. Goldeneye? Yeah, was that I don't think that was during war. Yeah, it was like the Cold War, right? I don't know. That had nothing to do with war. I mean, I was running around with the AK-47 shooting Russians. I mean, I don't know. I mean, it sounded pretty ballading. It was like in that facility or the stacks. Like I God knows what was going on outside. I was just slapping people as a middle. Who was the tall guy? Odd job was the small guy. Jaws. Jaws. Jaws, yeah. It was the super tall. 6'10, you know, probably three bills plus. Yeah. But yeah, so so we're at 11 countries. We have 127 cities. And I I was just thinking, like, how many? I think we have six. There's seven continents, right? There are seven continents on the world. I think we're at six. Yeah, we're missing Antarctica. Yeah. But that's kind of incredible that we're at six continents. I mean 20 episodes, six six continents. I do want to go back though, Dan, because yes, we are an international podcast, but we're also an uh intra-galactic. I think we're focused within the Milky Way, but what were your thoughts? Have you seen the picture of the far side of the moon? No, I didn't. No. Yeah, Artemis took a picture of the far side of the moon. Well, their goal was to take a picture of the far side of the moon. So they took that picture and then they put the far side next to the near side. I I would suggest that you and all the other listeners here take a second and look at it. I found it personally. Stat boy, if I uh you're an astronomer of quite consequence as he's looking up the picture for the first time. The far side of the moon I found to be quite I'll use a Gen Z term, mid. I didn't think it was quite very What were you expecting?

Stat Boy 11:43

I was expecting it to be at least as cool as the front side of the moon. Okay. What so what features of the front side of the moon do you find entertaining? The really cool craters.

Dr. TAT 11:53

Like they basically it looks like you've heard of the term like man on the moon, right? Yeah. And what happened was there there's all those craters on the the near side of the moon. And so people said it looked like a man. So I was hoping that there'd be some sort of like if that was the face, I I I was making the joke that it would perhaps be more of a you know gluteal or derriere, if you will, Dan. I don't know how to say that in Vietnam Vietnamese, but like a backside. And maybe it is, but it really was like pretty un uninspiring. I was expecting more. I was expecting like an alien base, like a military base or like cooler craters. But you were not you were not satisfied with what you said. I don't think I saw anything of consequence. Now, I don't know. I mean, though moon expert, but that's the way I felt about it.

Stat Boy 12:42

Have you guys looked at the picture yet? Yeah. I mean, for me, I my expectation was, you know, it's like the opposite side of the sunlight, so you think maybe it's a little colder on the other side. I was thinking like seeing giant ice mountains, even though I know that's probably that would be kind of cool. Yeah, like a giant, like ice age version of the moon on the opposite side. But yeah, the the back side. It's like tiny craters. There's just like these little itty bitty. It's kind of like looking really closely to your skin, all the yeah, all the texture of your skin. Yeah.

Dr. TAT 13:08

I was underwhelmed. So are they now they're on their way back? They're on their way back. They're going to land just outside of California, I believe is the planned location that they land. Huh. Okay. I heard like this is like a random side thing with that, but Nutella, there was like a Nutella jar that was like floating in their spaceship. And uh, so now like everyone, like social media is going nuts about Nutella. Like, oh, that's so cool. Floating across the camera. Can you imagine like the Nutella people being like, dude, they just showed our stuff up on the space shuttle? Yeah, yeah. Like inadvertently. So yeah, they were. I I saw like a clip that the it was like a I think they're one of their VPs or something was like pumped about that. Yeah, I th well, I mean I would be too, damn. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, it's I think it was a suc it is a successful mission, and you know, let's get our get our folks home, but it'll be cool. Yeah, no, that's great. Yeah, I mean, hopefully they're okay, that's of utmost importance. And um, yeah, I uh it sounds like it was a successful trip to space. Yeah, so I do think that we now know that the backside of the moon is not anything we have to worry about. Yeah. Because I was a little worried about aliens. Do you think the real estate on the other side is cheaper? Oh, a hundred percent. Yeah. Uh yeah, definitely. I mean, you want to be able to see Earth. I mean, what do you want to see on the far side? I don't know. No sunlight, like it brutal, you know. Now, do you believe in aliens? Have we ever talked about that? I I do. I believe in aliens. I believe that that it's just a simple matter of how vast space is. I mean, it's uh arguably, Stepway, give me a general number, but I'm thinking a couple billion trillion miles of of area. I think the problem is that we're all you're not looking miles, you're looking at like light years of distance. Yeah, sure. What whatever light years, miles. It's all the same to me. I think we're just so far spread out, I don't know if we'll ever like meet anybody else. Yeah. Yeah, it's fascinating to think about. I don't even know what to say. I mean, uh, I feel like I I feel like space is not a frontier we need to discuss further. I I will be I will kind of draw this. I I think this well is running dry, is what I'm feeling. Do you let me just finish the conversation? Do you feel like aliens exist? Yes. Oh, okay. I mean, to your point, like if space is so large, which it is, like so immensely big, like why would this one planet of Earth be the one the only speck of the universe where there's life, you know? Yeah, I think that's fair. The answer could be no, you know, I'm not saying that's like evidence. It'd be kind of a crappy.

Stat Boy 15:45

It would suck if it was no, you know. I'm not so much worried about if there is like aliens. Like I yeah, I think that's true there are, but I think it's what is an alien. Is it another version of a human? Is it just another human race on some far distant planet, or is it something completely different? What is an alien? That's a great point.

Dr. TAT 16:05

What is it? It might not have two eyes, two ears. It might I mean I think there's a very, very, very good chance it doesn't have. I mean, we would they wouldn't even call them eyes. They would probably call them like borglarks or something, you know. And they probably wouldn't even have English, so they wouldn't even use our language to speak, you know. I mean, there's a lot of cool there was a movie. Man, Step, well, you're gonna have to dig deep for this one, brother. There was a movie, it wasn't contact. Contact was the one with Jodie Foster. Did you ever see Contact? Yeah, you don't seem like a guy who's I've seen a few space movies. It was three hours of crap, and it was just Jodie Foster. It was an allegory for like broken family home and a bunch of crap, and they had like an alien and it's the worst when it's like a side movie.

Stat Boy 16:48

Contact.

Dr. TAT 16:48

Contact. No, that's the one actually I I don't want to talk about.

Stat Boy 16:51

There's that's the one we're talking about.

Dr. TAT 16:52

I I was trying to get to somewhere. Now, this was Amy Adams, and I believe it was 2017 or 2018. It was, I think, critically acclaimed pretty good. And and there's a certain listener of this pod. Arrival? There's two, yes, that's it. Arrival. And actually, Roman, I stat boy, I think this is a very good situation to the question you asked. Because I don't know, have you seen Arrival? No, I missed that one. I mean, there are two podcasters that we've melded together, listeners, called Blomo. And I think Blomo really enjoyed this movie. Yeah. Blomo approved. I think it is Blomo approved, but it's basically Amy Adams meets with the aliens, but the aliens can't really talk, and so the whole thing is about them trying to communicate, and they're like these little slug, not little, large slug kind of squid-like creatures. Okay. And so the whole movie is just them talking about trying to figure out how to talk to each other. Okay. And so my point is that what we're hoping for is probably something far less exciting, even than that. You know, we always think about like some small green men with blasters, like Mars attacks, right?

Stat Boy 17:57

That's where I was gonna go. I love Mars attacks. I hope there's creatures in the plan in the universe that look like the ones in Mars Attacks. Is that what you're just brain doing?

Dr. TAT 18:07

So you're rooting for like the the absolute like Machiavellian Martians that just kill us all.

Stat Boy 18:15

But they're gonna kill us all. We'll we'll let the best thing live, you know? Let's see. Let's see. Let's take them all.

Dr. TAT 18:22

I don't know.

Stat Boy 18:22

Maybe we'll get more maybe we have more advanced weapons than they do. Who knows? Everyone assumes that an alien race is gonna be smarter than us. Yeah. You don't know that. They could be dumb broach slugs things that come to the planet.

Dr. TAT 18:35

Yeah. Yeah, like will they be violent? Will they be kind? Like, those are questions. Do you think they do podcasts? One one thing I've heard people Yeah, they might. One thing you've probably heard like this hypothetical before, but like sometimes people say like if if you had to pick one person and one human to to negotiate with the aliens or meet the aliens, yeah, like who would you choose, you know? Boy, I mean one of that's a question. I've said a few. Like I I think sometimes people say like the rock, because the rock's like he's tough, but he's also like uh charisma. I'll tell you Dwayne Johnson's kind of low on my list. But I know one time I said I think it should be Jameis Winston, because I just thought he's like interesting. I just love Jameis Winston. But yeah, I mean, I'd be curious to hear like who you guys say too. I mean, let me just say that this is a highly biased podcast because I think we're we're all gonna pick probably from a pool of 330 million people in the United States instead of the eight billion people that are on Earth. So there's probably like some dude in India that's like the best who would probably explain things perfectly to the aliens, and we don't know who that person is. So I'm gonna pick in 2026, Dan. Yeah, yeah. So I want someone with a high Q score right now. So I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with Dustin Hoffman. I think Dustin Hoffman would be a really good because he's kind of like older, he's got a really good kind of voice with him. And you know, that that's a good idea. That's exactly right. And I think that he's he's the type of guy who would be able to explain things in a way that's like a little little like haughty and a little bit like he wouldn't be slightly ostentatious. Like, I I think we want to show Earth as like, hey, we're meeting you, but we don't have to meet you. You know, that's like the vibe you get when you talk to Dustin Hoffman, I feel like how about you? I never would have like he'd probably be like one of the last people. But yeah, you sold it, good.

Stat Boy 20:33

Yeah, for me, I I don't want anybody famous. I I want somebody that's gonna win us this negotiation. So I'm looking for the world's best negotiator. Oh, yeah, and the best hostice negotiator by far is Chris Voss. He's a former FBI leader.

Dr. TAT 20:50

Oh, I've heard of this dude.

Stat Boy 20:51

Yeah, former lead international kidnapper uh negotiator, and he handled over 150 uh international cases and trained at Harvard in Georgetown. And he specialized in tactical empathy and active listening. I mean, what an oxymoron tactical empathy. Yeah, I mean this guy if if there is a hostage or if there is a hostile type discussion that's gonna take place, this man right here is gonna win that discussion. Yeah, hands down. Chris Voss. Chris Voss is my guy.

Dr. TAT 21:19

Okay, our guy. Or is he where did he go to college? You said Georgetown and Harvard, yeah. Was he on like a show or something? Yeah, yeah. I thought that name sounds familiar.

Stat Boy 21:27

Chris Voss on a show.

Dr. TAT 21:29

How did you pick that name? Is that like one of your coworkers? I can't divulge. Well, yeah, that's true. Yeah. Yeah, like how do people know who this guy is, I guess.

Stat Boy 21:37

Other than if you went to I mean, he's he's got he's written a ton of books about stuff. And you know, he's just considered one of the guys that the CEO of Black Swan Group, which is a registered in Nevada and it's a co author of a book called Never Split the Difference. So yeah, he's a he's a he's a pretty far.

Dr. TAT 21:53

Never split the di Oh, I you know what? I think that's probably where I heard about this guy from was that and and how he's yeah. How he he's he's a bit on the phone. Like it's kind of that classic going back to our movie analogy, the kind of the classic negotiator on the phone when you have the bank robbers in the bank and and they're talking like he's the guy who gets on the phone and talks to him and talks him down. Oh, okay. Yeah, so you might be good. Yeah. I mean, yeah. I mean that you you're you're bringing a lot of baggage there.

Stat Boy 22:21

Maybe you can get an actor to portray Chris Ross. Yeah. Or Voss, excuse me. So that way you get the best of your world. You get the the most popular charismatic person, but they imply or they take versus Voss's method and they use that.

Dr. TAT 22:34

Part of me is thinking maybe we should just get the most alien-looking like dudes so that they're like kind of like getting along. They're like, hey, this guy kind of looks like us. Or like get like Steve Buscemi to like Steve Buscemi on. Steve Buscemi to just come over. That's my favorite. It would go like very well. Like that's productive. Like, man, you look like I mean you look like my cousin Blorb. We've been looking for you.

Stat Boy 22:54

What about the cone heads, right? We should get the cone heads. Yeah.

Dr. TAT 22:58

That was what Ackroid, right? Yeah. And you want to talk about alien. I mean, that dude's lost his mind back in the 80s. He's lost his mind. The cone. I haven't heard of it. Oh man. He sells uh he sells a very popular tequila backup. He has a line of alcohol that he he sells, and I think he drinks most of it based on the way he drives. Yeah. He's he's a bit out there, but maybe it would work. Yeah. He was in uh Tommy Bui, too. Remember that movie? I I I do. I think that's one of the best. Ray Zelensky. Zelensky, yeah.

Stat Boy 23:31

Yeah. That's a great one. Oh, Dan Airwood's uh brand is Crystal Head vodka. It's that's the yeah, it's in the bottle that looks like a giant skull.

Dr. TAT 23:40

And I think that would be the first thing you got to hand these aliens, right? Is just a thing of vodka in a skull.

Stat Boy 23:45

Well, I mean, the Mars attacks aliens, they look like a skull with a giant brain on it. So yeah, it would fit perfect.

Dr. TAT 23:50

Best part of that movie was the greatest athlete of all time, Jim Brown, playing like a pivotal role. Do you remember he's like in Vegas and he's just beating the shit out of it? Oh yeah. Oh yeah, that was amazing. And Jack Nicholson was the president. Yeah.

Stat Boy 24:03

There was a ton of stars in that movie. I remember seeing that as a kid, not having any expectation about the movie. So I'm watching it. In the very beginning of the movie kinds of starts off where they're like trying to be friendly. Yeah, yeah. And then there's that one like transition in the movie where they totally turn violent and it just like comes out of nowhere for me as a kid. I'm like, what the hell? Yeah. And the rest of the movie is just complete violence, and it was just like total mayhem and kids.

Dr. TAT 24:25

Yeah, because let me guess the year. Dan, what year did Mars Attacks come out? I will say 1997. Close. 1994. Not close. Probably. Is it 98? 96. 96, yeah. It was right around the time like Independence Day and a bunch of other movies are coming out. Yeah, it was actually right around Christmas. Yeah, it was a great holiday. Jim Brown went to Keys, right? Jim Brown is the greatest athlete of all time. And he went to Syracuse. Whoa. That's a bold statement. Jerry McNamara is the new head coach. He's the second greatest athlete of all time. Also went to Syracuse. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Jim Brown, rest in peace. He's he's one of the dad always loved Jim Brown. Like he said he was like the greatest. He was great with senior. Yeah, your dad's very smart. Yeah. Yeah, there's there's him, Jim Thorpe is another very popular. Actually, there's a town named Jim Thorpe, right? Not far from us. Pennsylvania. Not far from us. Yeah, pretty much. Some argue that he's the greatest athlete of all time. Yeah, David. Great Olympian, right? Great Olympian. Yeah. Yeah. So the Masters are coming up this week. And I would like I'd like for us to just kind of d dive into that a little bit, Dan. Yeah. I've over the past couple of months, I this I didn't know we were going to talk about this, but I'm so glad you brought it up. Yeah, you're welcome. I've been I've been following golf this year more than I've ever followed golf. I could tell. And tennis, I've been good. Like I made like a conscious effort this year to just follow golf and tennis more. And like I I'm like I'm pretty well not to like sound whatever fool myself, but like I'm pretty excited. Like I I know a lot about both right now. Well please. Well then divulge. I want to swim into it. I want to swim in the pools of your knowledge, Dan. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so golf. Like I like to gamble too, so that kind of forces me to like get involved. Like and golf, I'm doing pretty well right now. Like I've I've done well picking some of the winners. Golf's hard because there's like there's like over a hundred guys in each tournament. Yeah. You can't just bet on one. You gotta pick like ten. And actually that the past four tournaments, I've of my I would pick ten guys, and I picked a winner of the past four tournaments, which is pretty cool. But like some of them were like more than that. Yeah, the the resume's established, Dan. But I went, what do you feel when you're gonna do it? But what's going on? It's interesting because like so Scheffler's the favorite, Scotty Scheffler. Yep. Is he still number one in the world currently? He is, but I think he he's only won like one tournament this year. Like his iron game has fallen off, is what I've heard. He hasn't like he's played, he's he doesn't play in every tournament, but he has played in some tournaments. And he yeah, he just finishes like maybe like he usually makes the cut, you know, because in golf after two days there was a cut half don't continue. And as people know. And Scheffler, yeah, he's kind of just like not like he's not yeah, like there's been tournaments where he just hasn't done that well. Yeah. So he's kind of like not rising to the occasion, you could say. He also had a child two weeks ago. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think, yeah, you're right, because he dropped out of the one tournament. That's right. Yeah. That's good uh knowledge. But he he's won the Masters at least twice. Like Sapway could look it up. I think that's right. He's a he's definitely very good. And so then you have John Rahm. So so there's two guys, John Rahm and Bryson D.Chambeau are both from Live Goth. So Live Goff's the it's funded. They're still on Liv? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. But they're coming for it. So they're yeah, like if you looked at odds, like they're both top five to win the tournament. Yeah. Rory Mackle really won last year for the first time. Like that was always his struggle, but he won. So he's in it. And then you have a bunch of, you know, you got so I I like Justin Rose. He won the Murray and like years ago, yeah. About six years ago, right? Six to eight years ago. Yeah, and he won a tournament this year too, earlier this year. Brooks Kepka, JJ Spawn won last week. So there's a bunch of uh Yeah, there's a bunch, like you got Ricky Fower, you got Jordan Spieth, you got Speeth famously won what the first two of his. He was like awesome. Like at one point he was like the Scotty Sheffield, like top guy, and then he he like recently he he hasn't really done much. Yeah, from Texas, I believe. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, you got yeah, so it'll be I mean it it'll be interesting. Yeah, Masters is a fun thing. I've I've never I think Slayer has been there before. I think you're right. Yeah, shout out to Slayer. Slayer is a true document. What a sportswoman. I mean, it it's really truly impressive now. Sportsman, but part of what yeah, a sports person, excuse me. And what I Tiger was gonna be in it, but then he had to be a good one. What happened to Tiger? Yeah, he's some car trouble, right? Yeah, yeah. You know, the way this world works, like if we ever met with the aliens, we would have to explain that every couple of years Tiger would crash isn't all in a one vehicle accident. The aliens are like uh waxes they're like, what do we need in the tiger DIY? And it's always one vehicle. There's no like the good thing is no one else is involved. He you know, and usually the car flips over. And right when the aliens come down, where the first like they're they're like, hello, take me to your leader. We're like, all right, listen, Tiger got in an accident, it's his fourth. We understand it's the most memeable memes that have ever come up. And and you know, the aliens like what? But yeah, no, I think you're right there. Yeah, so so I don't think Tiger's gonna play. I mean, they won't even let him drive a golf cart, you know, this week. So yeah, but what are your thoughts? Like, are you rooting for anyone in particular? Uh I don't really care for golf. No, I'm just joking. I love the Masters. I I truly do. And in fact, today, you know, again, I'm still on my father springer, and I really feel the I I I've got I I just feel full of like Danny Tanner vibes. Like I am, I'm like I feel one with the just the the juzge, the genesic of the laissez-faire fatherhood that I live with. Yeah, it's the dude dunker. It's I I just feel it in it's almost like being a werewolf, right? Like I just have this, like when I wake up in the morning, I've got my coffee. I'm you know, wake up, wake up Barrister, Haverford. And what I wanted to say with all of that is that we were watching today. The they have a lot of traditions, Staff Boy. One of them is they have a par three that occurs on today, the day before we were we're recording this the day before we're on Master's Eve. And what they do is when you're shooting in the par three, you can have your family, like your kids can caddy and like run around the course and all this stuff. Like, I I was just watching like all the all these little like four to seven-year-old, like Tommy and Margot could definitely be there if I had any skill as an athlete and had been there. They get to like run around on this, like vault, you know, this cherished and I'll say hallowed grounds of of golf.

Stat Boy 31:18

What if you don't have children? What if you're just like this defunct, just degenerate young person who just do you get to bring on some of your your friends on the street?

Dr. TAT 31:27

Yeah, what do you think, Dan? Who would you bring? What are your thoughts, non childhood? Or you're gonna bring your podcast friends and that I would bring my kids on on your behalf, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, who would who would you bring? You'd bring you'd probably bring your brother. I'm sure your dad would caddy for you if you wanted the par three. Is your dad a good caddy? I don't even know. Yeah, I mean, he's uh he likes God. He'll get the job done. Yeah. Yeah, I'd have to think. I don't know. I would uh bring the coolest people I know. Yeah. All right, great. Uh I'd be glad to be there. And then the the next tradition I wanted to talk to you about, Dan, is the meal. They have the winner of the previous masters who gets a green jacket, which of course honestly, the top five trophy you can get, right? Like a jacket, you get a physical jacket to say you won something. It's like one of the most exclusive things in the world. I think that's so cool. And like if you don't, as the winner, like part of the things you get to do is at the end of the tournament, you hand the next jacket to someone, and Tiger won two times in a row. So he gave the jacket to himself, which is like the ultimate flex. Like, can you imagine? Yeah, like that would be so cool. But how did that work? Like, what did they did? He just literally I think he just handed the jacket to himself. I mean, it's just I he probably like took it off and then just put it back on, and he's just like, Oh, thank you. But yeah, what I wanted to say before that, I got on a little green jacket tangent. The pr previous winner hosts a dinner, the the next master. So Rory McElroy has to buy dinner for all the champions. And if you have ever won a green jacket, you're invited to that dinner. Okay, and it's a very expensive affair. And the winner has to pay for it. It's kind of like how if you hit a hole in one on a course, you have to buy everyone a beer at the clubhouse. You're familiar with that? Sure. Shout out to Slayer's mom. Actually, hit a hole in one a number of probably within the last year or two. But anyway. Is that at a house or a restaurant? Yeah, it's at the master's house, the master house. And uh, I have the menu right here, too. Yeah, let's go through it, please.

Stat Boy 33:31

Sure. Yeah. So uh this is uh, like you said, this is Mr. Rory's decision on what he wants to put on the menu. So for this year, the appetizers will have a peach and ricotta flatbread. They will also have Wait, what's let's slow down for a peach ricotta flat bread? Yeah, with a little balsamic and hot honey and basil. Oh that's a combo there. These are all appetites. This is F. Then you got some rock shrimp tempura, so some creamy, spicy sauce on that. Then you'll have some bacon wrapped dates, which is filled with goat cheese and almonds, and then you finish it off with a grilled elk slider, caramelized onion jam with roasted garlic aioli. That's just the appetizer. Okay. All right, so then we go to the first course. We're looking at yellow fin tuna, carpaccio, which is uh gras, and some toasted baguette chives. I just love I love making Statboy go and try to think.

Dr. TAT 34:26

Like foie gras and foig grasp. Foygrass. Foygrass. This is the night before. Yeah, the night before the master. Like they're eating it right now. Yeah. So they're eating a nice tuna carpaccio. Like right now, right now, a barely sober Tiger Woods is just yamming a grilled elk slider down the gully. Oh, yeah. Yeah. There's a great uh whiz real quick, just tangent. Whiskey Whiskey Village in Philadelphia, Sanson Street. You ever been there? I'm familiar. Village whiskey. It's right near Helium Comedy Club. But they have what's called the King Burger. It's like one of the best burgers in Philly. And they put it's like 26 bucks for the burger, and they put foie de gras on the burger, and like that's part of why it's so expensive. Very nice.

Stat Boy 35:08

Foy Foy Gray Grease Mardi Glass. Fock gross. It's what is that? It's gras. It's duck liver. Duck duck fat, gra? Duck liver. Duck liver? Yeah. Duck liver. Duck liver. Please continue with that. You're doing first. You're doing such a good job. We only got two more left. So the main course, and you get ready. You get a choice between wagyu, fillet, mignon.

Panda Dan 35:36

Fillet mignon.

Stat Boy 35:37

Wow. Or a seared salmon. Seared salmon? Oh, salmon, yes. Oh, wow. And this is with a traditional Irish candle. None of this was Irish at this point. Brussels sprouts, glazed carrots, brown butter, crispy Vidalia onion rings. Wow. Yeah, they're very specific in this menu. They tell you everything.

Panda Dan 35:59

Yeah.

Stat Boy 35:59

And that's that's your main. So which one would you choose? You choose the fillet mignon?

Dr. TAT 36:04

I'm assuming as a champion, as a champion, I'm taking a little bit of everything. You get both, or like you do both? Give me it all, man. Who are you? I want the elk.

Stat Boy 36:15

Yeah, exactly.

Dr. TAT 36:16

Bubba Watson. He'll be there. He won like years ago. Bubba Watson. I mean, he's the guy who's stuffing the grilled elk sliders in his pockets on the way out. He's like, oh, this is the best day of my life. That's what Bubba Watson said. He's from Georgia. Yeah, he's from Georgia. He's got he's got a bit of that more leads with a bit of that mammal. Shout out to our Atlanta listener today.

Stat Boy 36:37

Yeah, we just broke the Georgia.

Dr. TAT 36:39

Yeah, not the country. They're probably listening, right?

Stat Boy 36:41

Not the country. We didn't have it as a country, but we do have it as a state.

Dr. TAT 36:43

But it's kind of like its own country, though. I like to think that person listening is probably an Augusta right now. Go after yourself.

Panda Dan 36:51

And then we'll write about the dessert. Yeah, yeah. Let's go to the dessert.

Stat Boy 36:54

You know, I'll just be straight up honest right now. I'm disappointed in this dessert choice. It's sticky toffee pudding. What are you disappointed about? Vanilla, ice cream, warm toffee sauce. I'm out of coffee. You know, I don't like toffee coffee. I don't like me. I didn't know how passionate you are about reading menus.

Dr. TAT 37:14

Yeah. We got to get you reading more menus. So, uh Dan, are you a sticky toffee pudding guy? I like the second one, ice cream with warm coffee sauce, right? Is that what it was? No, it's it's the the ice cream on it.

Stat Boy 37:26

Yeah, that's all together.

Dr. TAT 37:28

And you get the sauce on top of the only problem I have with sticky toffee pudding is how many syllables it is. Sticky toffee pudding, sticky toffee pudding, sticky. It's too many syllables. You know, it's like I like I like flan, right? Flan. Flan. Try some flan. That's a flan, please, for Dan. Foy grass and flan. That's what I want to hear. Dan, are you a flan? Excuse me, flan guy? Have you ever had flan? Oh, thanks. Don, you've never had flan? Are you familiar with flan? Am I the only one?

Stat Boy 37:56

I'm not a dessert guy in general. So I mean, it's like a gelatin with a caramel on top.

Dr. TAT 38:01

I don't think I've had tiramisu. Yeah, I've had tiramasu. That's a nice coffee.

Stat Boy 38:06

That's very coffee forward too. Yeah. What's your favorite dessert, Statboy? I'm a chocolate guy. So give me like chocolate cake or give me uh yeah, I know, boring. So boring. Like peanut butter. So yeah, anything like peanut butter.

Dr. TAT 38:17

The reason I bring this up, Dan, is because I wanted to know your master's meal. What were you going to serve us if, let's say we're all master's champions one day, and I'm at your it's 2042, and I'm at your master's meal. What are we eating? I mean, I think he went the right route there, like to do the fish and the meat, you know? Like people love steak, and then you do yeah, I would either do like I mean, I love salmon, like he had. You could always do like lobster tail. So give me give me an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert, and then I'll do the same. Alright. Appetizer, like I'm gonna give the choice of either salad or soup.

Panda Dan 38:53

This sounds really nice.

Dr. TAT 38:56

What kind of salad? Just general. Just like classic like garden salad with like balsamic. Balsamic. Okay. But it's gonna be good. It's gonna be fresh. I just picturing your menu on this most like opulent gold leaf thing, and it just says super sour. What's your suit?

Stat Boy 39:13

This is like a preview of Dan's future wedding, right?

Dr. TAT 39:15

I know that's what I'm trying to get to. I'm gonna go with like a nice, like uh well, let's see, you're in Georgia. Oh, I like he's going with the season. Really? Okay, yeah. A classic fall soup in April. That's perfect. Yeah.

Stat Boy 39:31

Yep. It's like the brown of of dress color. Yeah, it's a sea. It's got the CM core, yeah.

Dr. TAT 39:36

All right, so you got your butternut squash and your garden salad. You get one or the other. You don't get both. No, you don't get vinegar. No, no special trimmings or anything. But balsamic, excuse me. Yeah, yeah. Which is a crew tons. You're going vinaigrette, right? Balsamic vinaigrette? Yeah. Yeah, perfect. All right, excellent. Yeah. I I'm salivating. What's the next step? Yeah. Well, you need a drink too. I guess you'll have like, you know, I think it'll be open bar, Dan. Let's call it an open bar. Yep. So you get your Shirley Temple, got your salad. All right. Right now I have a Shirley Temple and a salad in front of me with the balsamic vinaigrette. Yeah. What am I going to eat next? So you could do yeah, I'm going to do like, I'm not going to go fill it might. I'm going to do like a like a big like a porter house steak. Okay. Nice.

Stat Boy 40:23

And then Can you explain to our listeners what a porterhouse is like?

Dr. TAT 40:28

Yeah, that's like a it's like a cool one of those real cool looking steaks that are like huge. It is. It's the fillet. The fillet is just like round.

Stat Boy 40:38

So I guess what I was trying to describe is a porter house is a combination of two different cuts. It's the fillet, fillet mignon. So you get the fillet mignon there, but you also get the strip. Yeah, the stripe. New York stripe.

Dr. TAT 40:48

New York stripe. Yeah, yeah. So you get the combo. Yeah. And what's interesting, Dan, and again, I'm a fake spine surgeon, is that the the porter house is basically a big hunk of the lamina or back part of the cow. And so you get some of the best meat. So the fillet mignon is actually the would be analogous to our multifidus muscle in the front of our spines. Huh. So enjoy it. I think you should really think it'd be like chewing on the front of you know someone's L2 muscles right around the ventral aspect of the spinal canal. Well, that's very interesting. Thank you. I also want to go back because when Dan was describing the two meals, you know, this is an audio format, but Dan for the porter house, he just made like he just put put his hand straight and went up and down, and then the fillet, he very appropriately, you know, made the shape of a fillet mignon. We're gonna put that combo, the porter house that Statboy just explained. Rather, we're gonna have a lobster tail and a oh once again, it's like choose your own adventure, right? Yeah. So right now I've gone the garden salad path. I'm probably gonna go porter house personally, but I would have the option of a lobster tail. Yeah, and crab cake.

Stat Boy 41:59

Okay, crab cake is what Dan. Do you know the the chef's gonna hate you because you're gonna have like four different options for everybody, and then they're gonna have to have enough for everybody if they don't choose the same option? True. Okay, so this is and then what we will probably do.

Dr. TAT 42:10

So you're going for a surf or a turf. Yeah. Interesting. But then if anyone's like vegetarian or being to another we'll have like cauliflower and like wonton. Yeah, whatever. Who cares?

Stat Boy 42:24

Who chooses that?

Dr. TAT 42:26

Wonton. Oh my god. Hey, you gotta think of everyone. Cauliflower and wonton. Okay. I just never heard that comment before. He won the masters. He chooses. Yeah, that's I'm just I'm seeing like a wonton from a wonton soup and just like this big fluffy white. Oh no, like that's a particular chunk of cauliflower. Wait, there's a wonton cauliflower? No, they're different. Do I cut into the wonton and there's a cauliflower inside? That's like a giant raw cauliflower. Like you're gonna have like a buffalo cauliflower. Okay, full of cloud. Oh man. Oh damn. He's crying over here. That's so funny. Um okay, and then uh, what's my dessert? Yeah, then we're gonna go chocolate.

Stat Boy 43:10

We're gonna go finish strong, Dan.

Dr. TAT 43:12

Peach peach ice cream. Nice, nice. Uh go in Georgia, the local peach. Yeah, peach ice cream with chocolate cake. You don't get a choice, you just gotta enjoy it. You get it. Damn. Dan gives all these people over here at the end. He's like, no, we're gonna make it easy for the show. I am clapping because I thank you. I hope you're all hungry. Thank you for humoring me with that because that was just such a delight, Dan. You know, it's funny because uh you're infamously known for your love of salmon and chocolate cake, and I feel like you kind of touched that kind of area, but you really dressed it up for the masters. So thank you so much. Yeah. I'll I'll gladly and and hopefully in a more abridged fashion and might be as embarrassing, go through my menu. I too agree that there should be choices. So I think for the appetizer. What I would offer is a super sound garlic bread or chicken wings. And I'm saying like I want the chicken wings from like Philadelphia. Like I want this to be like a Philly meal, right? So you get some nice chicken. Sorry bread or chicken, chicken wings, right? Your entree, you can get a cheesesteak, a roast pork sandwich, or filet mignon. So you can really like scrum it up or yeah, you get the the steak. But the the secret is that the roast pork is by far the best one. So like anyone who orders that, I'll like look at them in a higher fashion. And then my dessert would actually be a funfetti cake, like from a box. Like the funfetti cake. That's really funny. I like funfetti. Yeah. So that's that's gonna be my meal. That sounds good. Yeah. Stat boy doesn't eat. Yeah, I don't know. His would have been like Bucatini and probably seems good. Yeah, probably some like I don't know. Some veal pond. A lot of broccoli rob everywhere. Yeah. Wonderful. Yeah. Yeah. So then they play golf, and at the end, I told you they do the the last part. But yeah, I mean it's it's a fantastic tournament. Yeah, they start tomorrow. And no, like I I'm glad you shared that knowledge. That's why we do this podcast. Like I I didn't know that they do the pre-dinner. I didn't know I I sort of knew they did something with the kids today, but I didn't know the details of it. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's um that's impressive that you knew all of that. Yeah, I I spent some time in Atlanta and I I one of my mentors was very much a fan who actually went to probably still goes to Augusta regularly for the Masters. Yeah. And he he was also telling me that the winner of the Masters every year is then eligible to play any uh subsequent master for the rest of their life.

unknown 45:49

Yeah.

Dr. TAT 45:49

Like you could be like 85 and just go hack at it, you know, for a couple rounds. I mean, I think they'll probably like gently lead you off after probably the first round. But yeah, I mean, isn't that a cool thing? Yeah. Yeah, I think Bubba's playing in it actually. I don't think he's how old is Bubba Watson? Where would you put him? Um 52, 50, 50. 55? I'm gonna say 55. I mean, golf's interesting. Like there are guys in their late 40s that are like still, you know, he's not that old.

Stat Boy 46:18

48. He's not that old.

Dr. TAT 46:20

Really? Man, my boy, I'm really shitting on Bubba.

Stat Boy 46:23

He's probably around 50. He's not that old. 48. He's not that old. 38. He's not that young. 43. He's not that young. He's not that young. 47. He's that age.

Dr. TAT 46:36

47. Yeah, yeah. Nice. Yeah, because he won what? He won about 15 years ago, maybe. Yeah, he won twice, I think. 12 and 14. He won twice? Yeah, he won in 13 years old. He won in 12 and then two years later? Yeah. Ah, blah blah. And he has 12 PGA tour wins. That's he's way more accomplished than I thought. Yeah. Yeah, so golf. Yeah, so Masters is probably the best, right? And then they are coming to Eronomic Golf Club in Newtown Square in a couple of I forget my name. About a month from now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that'll be awesome. Are you going, Dan? No, I don't think so. I'm going. I'm taking you with me. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, there you go. Well, I heard you can volunteer, but you'd like pay to buy you pay like hundreds of dollars. Yeah, it's it's a little crazy. But I think you get free tickets and all that. Exactly. I think it's worth it. It's only a nice t-shirt or something. You just like pay for the access. Yeah, it just depends. Like it would suck if you were in like one of the snack bars and you can watch anything, but you paid a bunch of money just to like hand out a bunch, you know, wonton cauliflower steaks, you know. Yeah. But no, if you volunteer. Yeah, I know someone that's doing that. If like if if they go like if they volunteer like Friday and then they got free tickets on Sunday, like that's totally worth it. Yeah. I I it's an exciting time. I really feel like the masters to me, Dan, really harkens spring. And and what you do is you get you get Apex, what's his name? Jim Dance. This is Apex Jim Dance. Okay. Because he's retired from March Madness, which just concluded. Shout out to the Wolverines. But Jim Dance doesn't do that anymore. But he hasn't given up. He still does the NFL because he gets paid a bazillion dollars. And then I think the only other sporting event he does is the Masters. And so he does, you know, the classic. He's hello, friends. You know, and I think and then they play that little jingle. Yeah. What do you think of the jingle? Do you like it? It is like soothing. Yeah. Can you pull up the jingle real quick? Let's get a let's get a listen to the jingle here. I mean, that does like have an impact. Like, even with March Madness that just passed, like the song, the music is always like it's nostalgic. Isn't it? I think it's really well done that the sporting calendar, you you finish March Madness and and you kind of have this like natural decline, like a downer. And it's like there's been so much excitement, and the first those three weeks of March Madness then go into the masters. It's like a nice way to ease out of it, you know. Just have a nice, gentle, and it's like this really melodic, like dun dun. I'm trying to think of how to how to say it. It's slow and it's it's not, it is nice. Like, don't you find peace when you're listening to it?

unknown 49:12

Final, this tradition, yeah. Unlike every other. And hello friends. Hello, friends, hello friends. Hello, friendsmen, hello friends, hello friends. Hello friendsman, hello friends. Yeah, we're currently just hearing Jim Nance say hello.

Stat Boy 49:23

That's his uh but that's like a montage of all his hello friends. Yeah. So you're just listening to it.

Dr. TAT 49:27

Does he only say that for the mass days? Hello friends. No, I think he does it for other things, but it's most famously known for that. I mean and you know, the qu I do feel like Jim Nance's friend when he says it. Don't you don't you feel friendly? I mean, I'm always looking for friends, and yeah, like I'm I'm always looking for friends too. And especially ones that are as rich as Jim Nance. Yeah. Yeah. It's it's a great time of year. Yeah. No, yeah. We have I mean the f the baseball just started, you know. Um and it's just this nice channel. Yeah. It's like springtime, the flowers are blooming. Hello, Dan. I'd like to welcome you to the spring of Seth Podcast. Yeah. It's a beautiful day. We've just finished our garden salad and our porterhouse steak with a nice finish of the peach ice cream and chocolate cake that you have to eat together. No holds barred. Welcome everyone to Seth Hike Podcast. Welcome. And we're gonna invite Bubba on the set note. Bubba Watson will be on next here at the Set Hike Podcast. Yeah, it's very gentle. Isn't it nice? I mean, I just I get this. I mean, it's just so beautiful. I mean you you have to kind of emote some general sense of friendliness, right? It makes you feel uh towards your common man. Yeah. You know, honestly, if the aliens come down, Dan, we should just let them watch Jim Nance call the final round of masters. Hello, alien friends. Hello, extraterrestrial friends. Yeah. Yeah, it is interesting. Yeah. Like so, so this so we got the masters, then you got but and let's let's just finish this point out, and then you know, obviously I gotta let you cook, Dan, but who do you got winning the masters? With your you have a lot of expertise, and you're you're you're red hot, so frankly, someone's gonna make a lot of someone in Ho Chi Minh is gonna make a lot of money listening to this podcast right now. Yeah. He's pulling up his phone, folks. He's talking to his guys. He's like going to Chat GPT, who will win the yeah. I'm hoping. Are you going bubble watching? I'm gonna go Justin Rhodes. Justin Rhodes. All right, you heard it here, folks. 2026 Masters. What are the odds on Justin Rhodes? Justin Rhodes is at a plus three thousand. I'm telling you, Dan, I I might put I might put one dollar, you know, I'll I'll scrap up some dollar bills.

Stat Boy 51:49

He's about the tied for the 11th best odds.

Dr. TAT 51:52

So 3,000 to 1. So if I put one one dollar and I get 30 back. Dan? Dan, how much money would I get if I bet a dollar? The one guy, Gary Woodland, he won a little bit ago. He yeah, like the odds in golf are pretty, you know. Like I put yeah, I won't, I don't know. Like you could like if you put like three dollars down, you could get like three hundred. You know, yeah, that's nice, Dan. It's good good odds. Yeah, well, that's exciting. So Justin Rose. That's an interesting. I mean he he hails from the UK, I believe. Yeah, yeah.

unknown 52:24

Okay.

Dr. TAT 52:24

I mean, a lot of these tournaments, it's been guys like that that are like, yeah, like 10th or so, like going in. Like, you know, I'm gonna go. I I think this is Bryson's year. I think it de Chimbeau. Uh I think it's he's never won it, but he he I think this is his year. He's he's done he's very good in LibGoff. Yeah. Yeah. He's an interesting character. I mean, he's he's almost he he was he was often kind of the butt of many jokes because he he kind of came off as that broy, like, let me hit the ball as far as possible kind of guy. Yeah. But he's got he's developed some depth to his game. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I mean, he's I think he's the second choice right now. So he he is certainly a contender. I'm gonna go with Bryson. Yeah. How about you, Stat Boy? Who do you like?

Stat Boy 53:05

Uh Bryson De Chambeau. Oh, you're you're gonna follow the same thing. All right, good. So I have Roy Reez's besides yours. I mean, it sounds like you're just following me, but I'm choosing him because he apparently 3D printed his own fifth club, his fifth iron. His fifth club. Five iron, whatever. He's just my fifth club, his five iron. He 3D printed it himself. That's nice. Is that within the rules of playing with that? So, I mean, for me, as a maker, as a 3D printer maker myself, I'm all on board for the guy that makes his own equipment. Yeah, I mean, that's kind of cool.

Dr. TAT 53:42

Uh, what did he make it out of?

Stat Boy 53:44

You know, plastic material of some sort. Club pieces. I have to go dive into what exactly he used, but I'm sure he used some type of engineering level type plastic filament. Oh, okay. But I don't know how often do you use your five iron. I I think he's probably he probably prints a club he never uses and then he puts it out off.

Dr. TAT 54:03

I won because I printed it. My six iron, yeah. Yeah, all right. Well, good. I think I think you've touched everything that we would want to touch on the masters. Yeah. Yeah, like yeah. Yeah, like golf and tennis are both interesting. So you have the you have four majors, you know, and then you have all these like smaller tournaments. So it's like it's just like a unique type of format to those sports. But yeah, I know that's like very general knowledge, but uh exciting times, Dan. But yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, like that. Yeah, we have that. Yeah. Like we'll have a lot of majors coming up in the next few months, right? For both sports. I think briefly before we sound off, I'd like to touch on your thoughts, Dan, on perhaps quite titillating and some would call fun and frisky flyers. Have you been watching them? Whoa. Let's go. I mean, they're orange hot, Dan.

Stat Boy 54:50

Yeah. They are also just orange hot. They are probably going to be in the playoffs, right? They're really close. I heard earlier this morning that they have like a 65% chance to make the playoffs. Don't let them get in there. They're dangerous. Yeah. They're playing well.

Dr. TAT 55:04

Do you know their goalie's name is Dan? Dan. Did you know that? Vidalia Onion. Yeah, Dan Vladar. Dan Vader. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. What's what's on his the one thing I always liked, Statboy, and and you're I'll be honest. I I want to kind of pass the puck to Statboy here. I'm a big fan of the goalies, like that they have like a special kind of markings on their masks. And that one of my favorites, and I think uh was a guy named Nidamaki. Yeah.

Stat Boy 55:32

And Terry. And Terry. I forget what it is.

Dr. TAT 55:34

Nidamaki. But he had like a gangster like shooting bullets across his helmet. So I wanted to see if Vladar Dan had anything cool on his helmet. Do they still do that, Dan, or no? I think so. Yeah, that it's a good point. The goalie mask was always.

Stat Boy 55:49

Yeah, they definitely it gives you like some you know energy. I see a lot of players also have their uh their national flag on their helmet a lot. Yeah. The country they're from.

Dr. TAT 55:59

Yeah, where's Dan Vladar from? Vl Vladar. He might be Tunisian.

Stat Boy 56:03

So I'm looking at his helmet now, and it actually is very Philadelphia focused. So it's got a bunch of like it's got Independence Hall there. It looks like it's got the Liberty Bell on there. Yeah, that's cool. It looks kind of like countries. Yeah, where is he? American? I don't know. I don't know.

Dr. TAT 56:17

Yeah, it's just very Philadelphia specific. Well, there's that young guy, uh Porter Martin, who is really Martin. Yeah, yeah. And I think Michigan State. Yeah, he can't he joined the Flyers late in the year, right? Chechnya. Chechnya. Team Chechnya. Yeah. Chechnya's part of the winter Olympics. Yeah, yeah, no. Porter Martone. Yeah, that was huge.

Stat Boy 56:38

Porter House Martone, right?

Dr. TAT 56:40

Porter House Martone. He was the sixth-bit goal. I would love if you like put had his card and it says Porter and then in parentheses house, like as his nickname.

Stat Boy 56:48

They should let the hires design their helmets too, right? Oh, totally. If the if the goalie gets too why doesn't the whole team get to do their own? I couldn't agree more. That would be fantastic.

Dr. TAT 56:57

I also think there should be more helmets in sporting engagements like Ohio State or Florida State. Like there should be more stickers that every team puts on things like when they do cool stuff.

Stat Boy 57:10

Like I know they get them for good plays and stuff, but like that's subjective, right? So like some people give out a lot, some people don't give as money. I don't know.

Dr. TAT 57:19

I just have this general feeling. This is a this is just the way I feel, Dan, is that there's not enough stickers. Adults don't use stickers enough. I think stickers are the coolest thing. And the only time you really get to play around with stickers is like really boring and painful stuff, like getting your car re-registered or something, and they put a sticker on. And you I don't even get to put the sticker on. The mechanic usually puts it on. There should be more stickers in adulthood. Yeah. Don't you think?

unknown 57:46

Yeah.

Dr. TAT 57:46

I I actually just when's the last time you've received a sticker? You know? No, it's funny you say that because literally probably last week. What kind of sticker did you get?

Stat Boy 57:55

Did you get a gold star for something? Yeah.

Dr. TAT 57:56

No, I got stu I got stickers for the the uh Super Mario movie, actually. Oh, nice. Yeah, my workplace. And yeah, and I heard you saw the movie, right? I did see the movie, but it's not about me, Dan. Tell me about the stickers you got. Yeah, it was just like a giveaway thing, and I got some cool stickers. And then I gave them to a coworker who who has a son that like loves Super Mario. So yeah. Oh it was like a nice stickers. What kind of were we talking about Yoshi, Mario, like like the stars? It was all the stars. Yeah, and they were nice stickers. Yeah, Mario Luigi, Yoshi, Peach. Now hear me out, Dan. You're a you're a a business, you know, you're a highly skilled, highly professional, highly successful businessman. Yeah. And you work for one of the most important companies in the world. Yeah, yeah. But I'm talking about getting stickers like the way people in Ohio State get stickers. Like you do, like let's say you find a you know, million dollars that you can hide for your evil corporation to not pay taxes. Like, what kind of stick? Like, I think you I I want you to get more stickers like that. Like, you know, a gold star is a cool thing. Like, if I had a successful fake surgery, I would love to get someone like that. The patient like hands me a sticker and it's like, great job, Doc. I feel better. You know, that would be awesome. Yeah, I don't remember getting many well. I mean, Statboy gave me stickers about the podcast.

Stat Boy 59:21

Well, I know I mean that's my adult version of my sticker fetish right now.

Dr. TAT 59:25

Yeah, and and that's my point is that in adulthood, we lose the joy of stickers. And I'm I'm I'm going to try to become more sticker forward.

Stat Boy 59:34

But my son, he's hugely into stickers right now. Like he comes home and he wants to put on like two stickers on his fit, like wrist. Like before you go to bed, we read a book, we go to the back of the book, he pulls stickers off of the book and put them on his wrist. Yeah, he's big into tattoos, you know, those those press-on tattoos. So, like, you know, the that love of stickers exists at a very young age, it's just you lose it at some point in life.

Dr. TAT 59:56

Yeah. And and that's the point, is that we need more stickers in adulthood. Like, and I I I'm just talking like we should just give each other stickers. I I might bring you a sticker next week, Dan. Yeah. Hey, I don't think that's a bad idea. Yeah, okay, good. All right. I think it's settled. I mean, the one thing is, and and I think hopefully people in the greater Philadelphia area have seen this. We do give out set height podcast stickers. And I do think that Stat Boy is one of those, you know, big kids. And the people I love spending time with are people who are like kids at heart, just big kids. Yeah. And he's the biggest kid I know. Uh I mean, there's not a serious bone in his body. I'm shocked he is allowed to drive a car or really have gainful employment. Yeah. But he's a sticker guy, and so we gotta stick with our sticker guys. Yeah. Yeah. I have a bunch of set hike stickers in this in there in our studio right now. We gotta start giving them out. I would say, yeah, if anyone I gotta buy more. If anyone sends an email, if anyone lets us call you or send us your uh mailing address and then we'll mail you a sticker. We'll get you a pass sticker at gmail.com and we'll we'll do it internationally. We'll give you a sticker. Like I can guarantee that. Yeah, absolutely. Now we're talking, folks. We are gonna become sticker, we're gonna be the sticker set height podcast. Yeah. All right. Yeah, that's our differentiator. Fantastic. Yeah. Now let's talk, let's let's sound off real quick, Stat Boy, if you don't mind. So, little I support stickers. Great. I support stat boy without further ado.

Stat Boy 1:01:25

So I think we've had a you know quieter week this week. We just came out of a nice little Easter break, so we didn't have as many uh contact listeners for the email channels, but we did have a little slayer sound off via our Twitter page or ex page, and she sent us a beautiful photo of deflated positivity rabbit. Oh, okay. I was I supposed to answer that.

Dr. TAT 1:01:48

I was actually I wasn't listening.

Stat Boy 1:01:50

No, yeah, it's good. No, yeah. So apparently she wanted to show us a nice photo that Cooper Dejean posted on his his channel, and it was a photo, and he said it said happy Easter to everyone who celebrates Easter. And it was a photo of the deflated positivity rabbit in the locker room. So brings back good joy, good memories, you know, of the the AJ Dillon experience. And uh yeah, uh, I'm just glad he's deflated and out of there.

Dr. TAT 1:02:15

Yeah, I mean AJ Dillon's gonna go down, in my in my estimation, as one of the most inconsequential Eagles that I will remember 20 years from now. Yeah. Yeah.

Stat Boy 1:02:29

For some reason, he'll stick.

Dr. TAT 1:02:30

Yeah, yeah. I'll always remember AJ Dillon and his multicultural and multi-religious Boston College Positivity Rabbit. Yeah, Mazletov. I agree. Yeah. Shalom major now.

Stat Boy 1:02:43

Yeah, so that that's our sound off from Slayer today. And then, like I said, we're a little late on the email. So again, if anybody out there wants to send us some interesting questions or some discussion topics, please send them to us at sethikepod at gmail.com, or you can send us a direct message to sethike pod at x, whatever you want to. x.com. I think that sounds nice. Instagram. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Instagram GERKS2. So that's that wraps up that part. Do you want do you want to get into the updates and stats and stuff?

Dr. TAT 1:03:10

No, well, let's let's give a call out to our our correspondent that we didn't get the chance to reach out to. Yeah, let's see if we can get a hold of them. Now, we have to be very careful, folks, because the RD department almost got had to meet with our legal and HR departments because uh there was a little issue with uh establishment uh little fire alarm went off. Yeah, we have to be very cautious about voicemails and doxing people because we are a non-doxing podcast. So we'll see if we'll see. Let's see if we this is our this is our Peruvian correspondent. Let's see. Hello, hello? Hey, is this Turtle? It is you are live to air on the Seth podcast. Are you uh welcome back? I believe you're back in the States. Is that correct? You're in the basement right now.

Turtle 1:03:54

I I I am I am back in the States. I am not in the basement. Uh Danny, you can get to capture me again.

Stat Boy 1:04:01

Yeah. Um but you were just in the basement of the planet, right?

Turtle 1:04:05

Uh yes, I was yes, I was in the basement of the planet where the uh the sun says so like the northern part of the sky is a little weird.

Dr. TAT 1:04:13

Yeah, yeah. What let's first let's let's air things out a bit, right? You know, uh I think that friendships die when there's just that rotting sense of of you know awful things that we've done. And you know, I think that there was a chance we put your career in jeopardy of broadcasting specifics of your name and place and personhood. So we just wanted to offer an apology on on behalf of public stat boy here who really screwed up. Hey, hey, it wasn't me. He was awful.

Turtle 1:04:43

Yeah, I I I I agree. Thank you so much, Jim, for uh for reigning him in.

Dr. TAT 1:04:48

We're we're if if nothing else, we are a podcast of integrity. So uh we just wanted to check in and see how you're doing on your how how your Peruvian you know uh trip was. Yeah, give us some quick highlights.

Turtle 1:04:59

Uh well, I uh attended the uh La University versus Al Al Tolima soccer game, which is the two biggest teams in Peru. Okay, wow playing at a 80,000 uh person stadium, which is the second largest stadium in South America.

Stat Boy 1:05:20

Am I supposed to be impressed or something? Does that be cool? Is it called it's called like El Classic Are you said?

Turtle 1:05:26

Yeah, it's the it's the El Classic, yeah.

Dr. TAT 1:05:28

That's Spanish for the classic.

Turtle 1:05:30

Yeah, and it's and who were you writing for?

Dr. TAT 1:05:35

What team?

Turtle 1:05:36

La Yu.

Dr. TAT 1:05:37

La U. La Yu, La Yu. It's all about La Yu.

Turtle 1:05:41

Yeah, it doesn't have a song like that actually.

Dr. TAT 1:05:43

Oh nice. Yeah, then and then uh what was the score of the game?

Turtle 1:05:48

One nothing. Wow La You Home T La You, Home T one. So yeah, it's young South America they don't allow away fans to attend the game, so like it was just all

Dr. TAT 1:06:03

Oh, that's that's interesting, Turtle. So had you been rooting for the other team, you would not have been allowed entrance.

Turtle 1:06:09

Is that actually the first line of heavily armed police at the game?

Dr. TAT 1:06:14

Heavily armed. Heavily armed. Because sometimes they're behind. I've seen like in Europe European games, they'll put like they'll be in like a glass, like or you know, like a covered case animals.

Stat Boy 1:06:25

Yeah.

Dr. TAT 1:06:26

Like that? Yeah, exactly.

Turtle 1:06:28

They tried that down in South America and stand. Yeah. So they uh they're like, yeah, sorry, no. You know, don't even bother.

Dr. TAT 1:06:36

Yeah, the the Peruvians just like gnaw through the glass, Dan, and just get through and then start attacking the home team.

Stat Boy 1:06:42

So sort of what about our what's our NBA in different countries set up that you were discussing about jerseys and such?

Dr. TAT 1:06:51

Yeah, what jersey is.

Turtle 1:06:55

Oh, yeah. So what one might big uh thing is observing what um American sports teens and players the locals wear. And Michael Jordan is universal through all of Latin America. Very interesting in Peru. He's actually seen some Pippen and Robin Bulls jerseys.

Dr. TAT 1:07:21

Nice.

Turtle 1:07:21

Well, uh for the 90s bulls. So Steph Curry, and I saw one LeBron James. So LeBron is starting to break in uh down there.

Dr. TAT 1:07:31

Wow, there you go. Trying to break in. That's the Peruvian, the Peruvian way. And I I wanted you I wanted you to briefly, because you're gonna I I imagine you may listen to this podcast. This podcast was very culinary focused, and I wanted to talk to you about I I actually got a chance to look at the the meal that you were eating when you so rudely did not answer our phone call, and it looked like it looked like raw eggs and uh floating pieces of like uh tiridito. Oh tiro tiradito. How was it? How delicious was it?

Turtle 1:08:01

It was very good. It you are correct, it is uncooked fish uh down there that you a lot of uh cities. So like raw fish, raw fresh fish, like soaked in like like lemon juice and stuff like that for a little bit, and then they just serve it to you.

Dr. TAT 1:08:21

Wow, wow. That's I mean, and and your flying experiences were just very straightforward, I assume. There were no delays.

Turtle 1:08:29

No delays, but you know standard airlines is the uh it's like the main airline that kind of does that hop uh down there between Miami and a lot of Latin American countries. So you know, by back, I'm I I I I think you can go see a recording to the back doctor or something like that. I think if you kill anybody who's gonna kill, and then it's very helpful after seven like you know 20 hours on a on a scary airlines yet.

Dr. TAT 1:08:56

Yeah, well, very, very excellent. I I want to say thank you for providing SEC Hike, one of our new 11 countries that we now have as part of it. So Peru is now on the map, and I think you led the way. So we look forward to your excursions out into Eastern Asian countries as we're trying to delve into that market. Yeah. And I do have one more question for Turtle. Please stand. Turtle, in the event in the future that we have aliens visit Earth, is there a specific human that you would have represent the human race to have a negotiation with the aliens? You may elect yourself Turtle.

Turtle 1:09:34

Uh, Dennis Rodman. Ah, there we go.

Dr. TAT 1:09:37

He he follows the same idea, which is like if it looks like the alien, you're gonna feel much more at ease.

Stat Boy 1:09:43

Yeah, you know what I mean? So we we did send him out to North Korea to deal with their. That went pretty well, actually.

Dr. TAT 1:09:48

Yeah, Rodman's our guy. Yeah.

Turtle 1:09:50

And the reason why I'm actually thinking about that because he's criticized very heavily for you know going out to North Korea, and then uh he did a very good interview with Howard Sherman. And now there's his daughter is like grooming her for like the next you know, succession. And like the South Korean like intelligence service is like citing like Dennis Robin as like what her name might be. Well, Dennis Robin said her name is this.

Dr. TAT 1:10:28

Ah, there you are. So Dennis Robinson is he he can he's just basically like a cultural chameleon. He's gonna get into whatever and and that could go within the galaxy as well.

Turtle 1:10:39

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. If he if he can go out there in North Korea, he can, you know, he can talk to the people from Saturn.

Dr. TAT 1:10:46

Turtle, you were a top one million pick for me. So, you know, again, we we really appreciate your time and uh welcome back to the good old US of A, and we look forward to another in-person podcast to really catch up.

Turtle 1:10:59

I I look forward to uh listening to this episode. I'm very uh, you know, I I know you don't like this to uh disclose what day you guys do.

unknown 1:11:09

It's uh Wednesday, yeah.

Turtle 1:11:10

It's Wednesday. I'll I'll I'm I'll uh normally guys do it at a different night of the week, so I'm very pleased that I it was a 30% hike this week.

Dr. TAT 1:11:18

Yeah, no, absolutely to have you and honor. The pleasure was all yours. Excellent. Well, I hope you have a wonderful evening.

Turtle 1:11:25

Well, thank you. You guys too. Have a good night. See ya.

Dr. TAT 1:11:28

See you later, buddy. All right, excellent.

Stat Boy 1:11:30

I think we should get to our stats and updates. Yeah. All right. Well, so we'll tie this episode up real quick. So we started with uh little space discussion, right? So we talked about the observable universe and how f how big that is. Well, again, like I said, we measured in light years, right? 93 billion light years. 93 billion light. Okay, that's 28 billion parsecs in diameter. So uh yeah, that that is how big this universe is. Can you imagine that?

Dr. TAT 1:12:00

That's something, I'll tell you.

Stat Boy 1:12:02

I think it's something.

Dr. TAT 1:12:03

That's a lot of Tim Allen characters.

Stat Boy 1:12:06

Yeah, that's great. We talked a little bit about the movie Arrival, and we talked about how good of a movie that is and how much yep, and how much Blomo would would just go nuts for it. I think your memory is it correct. I mean, it received eight nominations in the 89th Academy Awards, which included best picture, best director, best cinematography, best adapted screenplay, and this is the one award it did win, best sound editing. And that's huge because it was all about space. It's about space. Yeah, you need to know how space sounds, yeah, which is silent. Yeah, there you go. Beautiful. Then we're gonna roll into Tunisia discussion. We talked a little about how Tunisia. We talked a little about uh Annunciation. Their enunciation. Yeah, if there was anything like war-related and gaming for Vietnam, well, yes, at one point there was a standalone third-person video game from Call of Duty that was gonna be Call of Duty Vietnam. It was gonna be titled Fog of War, but this is back in 2010, it was paused because they canceled it and moved its development time frame and energy into Modern Warfare 3, which became a massive game in that time frame.

Dr. TAT 1:13:19

Oh, so they they just gave up on the history once they got to modern warfare.

Stat Boy 1:13:22

They were developing it and then they just shifted gears to modern warfare and they they put all their energy in. Wise decision. So yeah, there was something out there. Yeah. And then to tie up some of this discussion about our international listeners. So I think I mentioned you guys earlier why I think we had a theory behind some of the explosion that we had in Vietnam. So I can't explain most of the other ones we hold, but Vietnam was by far our biggest listening group outside of the US. Uh-huh. So did some digging. And what we found interesting was when we we looked around in the stats, we found that they listened the most to our one episode. Sad max. Sad max. Sad max cross. That was our 17th episode. Huge, huge, huge. I'm like, why does Sad Max one of the best episodes? Double X in there. So it was a huge one. It's like, what, why? Why are they why are they on Spotify listening to Well, there's two connections. There's a music connection. There's an artist, an underground artist named Max Tiz. And he's a Vietnam. Yeah, he's a Vietnamese underground artist. And he has a song that goes by I'm gonna say this completely incorrect, but the Fan Phoe Ball, which is a famous track that explores urban isolation. And the and that translates to Sad City. So this this is. I'm gonna reach out to Max Tiz. So get him on the podcast.

Dr. TAT 1:14:47

That'd be awesome. So you think they were looking up Fang Fong Bong and they sorry. No, Max Tiz. Max Tiz. Max Tiz. His song, yeah. The sad city song by Max Tiz. Right on the edge of explicit, Dan. I mean, we are right on, it's like saying Jackson Smith in the jig, but too. M-A is close.

Stat Boy 1:15:06

Yeah, it's a T A X X T-I-Z. This is that's cool. Yeah, no other song. So that's the name of the artist, and the name of the song, you know, translated is Sad City, and he goes by his style, which they describe him as an emo or a sad underground rap artist in Vietnam. So he goes a little bit by in this this indication as sad max.

Dr. TAT 1:15:31

That's what happened. So they need to, yeah, we could get some of these part of the set of Chira.

Stat Boy 1:15:38

All right, well, that doesn't really explain like why all of a sudden, right? I mean, just because it has some confusion between the name and the title of our episode, whatever. So then I started looking at like, all right, where are these these are coming from? And we we were getting hits in Ho Chi Minh, which is in the far south of Vietnam. Okay, and then we were also getting hits in Hanauai, I think you say it. It's all in the north, yeah. Hanoi? Yeah, it's up in the north uh part of Vietnam, which is separated by 26 hours if you drove it. So it's vastly far away. Well, coming up in 2026, there are music festivals coming down the pike where this this artist may be president. So there is one in Ho Chi Minh City in June this year, and it's called the State of Trance, and then there's another one called The Awakening 2026, which is uh something that's coming up, I think, in August. So there's there's these music festivals that are coming around, the pike in the summer. There's the the connection to the music artist and his style, which all funneled into let's listen to Seth episode 17.

Dr. TAT 1:16:39

I think you saw I mean hold on a sec. Uh folks, we need to just acknowledge the type of work we're getting out of Sat Boy. Yeah, this is peaks. I mean, I I got I wish I had a sticker for it. Good lord. He is the he he solved it. We He's getting a TJ Maxx gift card this week. I think so. He is he basically unfurled what was the title, and apparently a bunch of emo Vietnamese folks started listening about how poorly Max Crosby was treated with the Baltimore Ravens. I think they prefer that, honestly. And they listened eight times. Yeah, like I remember Staboy Staboy's an expert in this space, and he said, like, like the listeners that we like, we don't know the identity of our listeners. Like just don't ever worry listeners. Like, we don't know. Not yet. We don't but we know the location. We're gonna learn. But but I think we're bot protected. Like, so people are probably like like what some of our friends are gonna say. Are we bot protected? Yeah, like we're bot protected.

Stat Boy 1:17:43

Our our our broadcast channel is supposed to have some type of filter that uh takes out any kind of bot action that may be counter.

Dr. TAT 1:17:49

Yeah, so that should be pretty legit because we're an anti-bot podcast. Now we're not alien protected, but we're bot protected. Right. Well, that's there's a big thing. We can only hope for so much. We'll build a wall and someone will pay for it for sure, but that's good.

Take a nap, then go to bed, and then I'm gonna feel fresh for the masters tomorrow. And yeah, I'm excited. That's friends. How do you feel?

Stat Boy 1:19:06

You know, I feel like we need to start learning our countries a little better. So let's get into it. Oh god, here we go. Yeah, so all right.
