Men vs Women Friendships: Group Chats & Ghosting
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week we broke down the real differences in how men and women handle friendships — group chats that are total chaos vs. full therapy sessions, who actually checks in, and why one side ghosts harder than the other.
We also got real about breakups (spoiler: they suck no matter what) and all the messy feelings that come with them. Plus, Dr. Ivo dropped his weekly hot takes in Dr. Ivo’s Dose — you don’t want to miss his unfiltered thoughts on [insert a light topic from the segment if you want, or leave general].
Raw laughs, relatable rants, and zero filter — just how we do it.

Welcome to Gotta Get Said. Here's your host, Matt Cucko.
SPEAKER_01One, two, three, go. What's happening, guys? And welcome to another episode of Gotta Get Set on this Tuesday, July 14th, 2026. What's going on, everybody? How's everyone been? How's everyone doing today? Enjoying the summer? 4th of July is over, and now you can just relax. You can just enjoy the summer. You can go to the beach. You can do what you gotta do. Have your barbecues. You don't have to rush for anything. You don't have to buy fireworks. You don't have to deal with it, you know? So yeah, you know, I now that Mike and Ashley are always with me now, they're here, I'll introduce them in a second. But, you know, they were talking about topics, and Ashley actually made a good, a great, a great topic point. She was like, you know, let's talk about relationships with friends. And, you know, when she first said it, I haven't even spoken about her since since she came here. So it's a cold call for me as well. But when she was talking first talking about like relationships and like friends, like I was like, you know, there were so many different outlets you could handle, you know. Like, is she talking about this? Is what went through my mind. I was like, is she talking about like relationships when you have a significant other? Like, how do you navigate that? Or is she talking about how do you deal with relationships in a sense of like just like the summer's happening, travel's happening, all this like different stuff? Like, how do you navigate having your life, doing what you need to do, doing your extra acrylic earlier, and still managing a friendship? So I don't know the answer. So I can't wait to volley to them about what they feel the take is because there's so many different takes you can do with like what is a friendship and so many different angles you can press with it. So I'm gonna volley to them immediately, introducing Mike and Ashley as always. How are you guys doing?
SPEAKER_02What up, guys? We're doing great. We're doing great. Happy middle of July. It's the summer. We're traveling, we're busy.
SPEAKER_00What's going on, everybody? Welcome back. So happy to be here once again.
SPEAKER_01So, Ashley, as I specifically just said, tell us what you meant when you were talking about friend relationships, because I'm so intrigued.
SPEAKER_00So, Mike and I were just randomly talking about, you know, certain friendships, maintaining friendships with uh with people since, you know, it's summertime. We're we've all been busy, everyone's got shit to do, you know, and it just how you know the older you get, the harder it is to maintain friendships, and especially during the summer when everybody's, you know, doing something. So I was like, oh, that would be, you know, that would be a funny, you know, male versus female friendships, how you maintain them, like the differences.
SPEAKER_02It is challenging. I sent a meme to my boys. It's like the group group chat could be popping off for a day or two and then go silent for weeks, right? But I sent a meme to my boys and it just ignited the, you know, lit the fire on conversation. And then I told Ashley, Oh, what are your friends up to? How have they been? And she's like, I don't know. And then we said, wait a minute, are you gonna send the same meme to your friends? And she's like, Oh, hell no. I have to be sweet, I have to be kind.
SPEAKER_00Female friendships definitely require much more like maintenance, much more like I love my friends to death, like amazing people, you know. But uh, you know, I'm sure male friendships are much more relaxed. Like women, we gotta like do the check-in, we gotta give, you know, much more nurturing, like attention, like we gotta show how much we love and miss each other. It's a whole it's a whole to-do, you know.
SPEAKER_01But this is very true, by the way. And you know, it's funny. Women also have to deal with, like, you know, are they dating someone shitty? They have to nurture them on that level too. They have to deal with all that.
SPEAKER_00We'll touch on that.
SPEAKER_01You have to touch on that. You are you a group chat gal?
SPEAKER_00I am. I mean, I'll be honest, I am very lousy at responding to any group chat of any form, family, friend, you name it. I'm terrible. Mike is better with that, but I am in some.
SPEAKER_02She's the aloof friend. I really when was the last time you talked to your friends? She's like, oh, wait a minute, there's like 30 messages here that I didn't answer. And I'm over here like, I am the immediate. Now I'm on my phone 24-7, just answering calls, text, business. But the dudes, it's like, what's up, dickhead? What's up, fuck face? 100%.
SPEAKER_00But right. Whereas women were like, oh my God, girl, hey, I missed you so much. Tell me what's going on, what's new. I want to know, I wanna know tooth and everything.
SPEAKER_02Oh my god, girl, you look so hot.
SPEAKER_00Like we really gotta hype it up, especially when you haven't talked in how many months. It's like you really gotta like, you really gotta sh, you know.
SPEAKER_02Tell me everything.
SPEAKER_00Right. You look- But I am proud of myself. I did initiate a group chat conversation the other day. So kudos to me, because I'm usually the responder, not the initiator.
SPEAKER_01You know, it's funny. I like I said before in the introduction, there's so many different angles you can play with, like the friend card. That's why I was curious to see which way you went, because there was a zillion different ones. And it really is true. Like every single person has a complete different way that they deal with their friends. Some people, like Mike sounded like kind of echoed to Mike what he was saying. Like, I live on my phone, like I'm on my group chats all day long. I I get anxiety if I have an unread text. Like the fact that people, not just you, I know tons of people that leave their text unread. And I just I can't compute it in my head. I can't, I can't make it make sense for me. It gives me anxiety even saying it. So yeah, it's so funny hearing it. Like, you know, you guys said you guys are traveling, you guys are here from Pennsylvania. Like you're traveling all summer. Mike travels the world, you can't tag along with him sometimes. Like, it's so complicated to manage that friend, you know? Like, how do you deal with it? You don't want them to feel like they're being neglected, but also you're busy and you have to live your life. So it is a very complicated, slippery slope, how each person navigates each friend group. And it's just fascinating to hear more takes about it. Like, you know, what else you got to say about the friend stuff? I love talking about it. Like, anywhere you want to bring it, bring it.
SPEAKER_02What about also, like, you know, you talk to people every week in a group chat, but then you haven't talked to them on the phone for months, maybe years. And then you get that random phone call on a Tuesday night, and you're like, oh my God, is is he dying? Is he, did he just get divorced, or is he literally just calling to say, Yo, did you catch the game? And I'm like, I'll let it go to voicemail. I need to know if this is important or not.
SPEAKER_00Right. My friends were probably in shock that to hear from me first. They were probably like, is everything okay? Is she is she good over there? I actually, you know, speaking of, you know, it's summertime trying to make plans with people when we're all so busy. I had we actually, me and one of my girl groups, you know, we actually just recently were trying to initiate plans with each other. Women, when it comes to making plans, like we it it we need to know every detail, like down to the T. Like we need to know where we're going. What are we wearing that day? Especially if you're going on a trip. You need to have all your outfits planned out, you need to know where we're going. We need a backup plan in case the first plan fails. It it's it's a whole ordeal.
SPEAKER_01Same here. I'm the exact same way. That's why they call me the girl on the friend group. Mike, you seem a little different.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. And even when we were getting together to plan, right? I was just like, yeah, we'll come over. That that's all we need to know.
SPEAKER_01He was. I was so like, so what did you mean exactly? Like, I I needed to, I was like referencing his sentences to my friends.
SPEAKER_00Right. Meanwhile, we're like, where are we going? Are there are there mimosas involved? Like, are there there's definitely drinks involved, right? Like, let's go get food, drinks, let's catch up, let's shoot the shit.
SPEAKER_02What's the color of your left pinky toenail?
SPEAKER_00I mean, basically nail pomps. You're not wrong.
SPEAKER_02Dudes are just, yo, what are you doing? Come over. Nothing. Just come over. All right, cool.
SPEAKER_00I'm a little jealous of the the amount of effort, the minimal effort that it takes y'all men to make plans. I'm actually a little jealous. Yeah, not not Matt. Matt's with me on this one, but So I have a story. Mike is very last minute. Like I can plan something out in five seconds.
SPEAKER_02They don't know when I'm gonna get there, but they know I'm coming. Mike's going to Bangladesh tomorrow. He didn't even tell Ashley yet.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, he he would do something. He has pulled last minute plans on me when he's left the country.
SPEAKER_02Just got back from Bangladesh, actually.
SPEAKER_00The one trip one summer he went to Guatemala. He's like, he told me the day before. He's like, babe, I have a fun, I have I have a fun day planned for us. It involves you taking me to the airport to Guatemala. I'm like, are you literally joking?
SPEAKER_02Babe, we're going to the city. Oh, cool. What are we doing?
SPEAKER_00I thought he was fucking with me.
SPEAKER_02You're dropping me off at the airport.
SPEAKER_01We are going to a city. He didn't lie.
SPEAKER_00He didn't lie. He just failed to elaborate on the details.
SPEAKER_01So I have a funny story about group tax and dealing with all that stuff, right? So just to show you that I'm on Ashley's side, I'm the girl in the friend group. So about a year ago, my cousin, shout out to Dave, he listens. My cousin was having a birthday party planned by his significant other, his beautiful wife, right? So he he sends a uh his wife is handling this. It's a surprise for him. So she sends a text to all of his friends. I'm included in that. It's a group text. Hey guys, we're doing a boating, you guys are doing a fisherman boat, like a party boat. You go deep sea on a boat and you go fishing with this fisherman that they hire, and then you guys go fishing together. So everyone in the group was like, awesome, awesome, send details, send details. I literally side texted her and was like, hey, just need a little more information about the boat trip. She goes, yeah, what's up? I'm like, how far out are we going? She's like, huh? I was like, yeah, I just need to know. She goes, I don't know. I'll get back to you. I was like, let me know how far out we go because I need to know if we have cell phone service or not. She's like, cell phone service? What are you like, what? I'm like, also, is there an awning on the boat? Or should I do I have to wear a hat? Is there awning? How far out of me? I don't want to lose cell phone service. She's like, Matt, why are you asking all these questions? I'm like, I need to know so much. I actually, she actually got mad at me. This is a true story. I reached out to her again and said, Can you just give me the in the contact information of the boat owner, the captain, because you're not asking the right questions for me personally. And she was like, Are you kidding me? I needed to know. I can't just get on a boat. I'm not just going on a boat on a whim like all these other guys in the group chat. I need to know how far this boat's going. I need to know if this boat has a bathroom. I need to know if there's an awning. I need to know if we're we're shark hunting. I need to know how long it is. I need to know what happens if I get seasick. I can't just hop on a boat. I have a zillion questions. And I was the only one in that group, surrounded by a bunch of men, aka my friends. They all had no questions. I had one million questions. So actually, I echo you. I feel for you, and I am on the same page as you.
SPEAKER_02I also want to just give a shout out to that captain. God bless that man, dude. The last thing he wants to hear is a million questions from a nervous passenger. Just get to the damn dock, dude. The boat leaves at one o'clock. I'll get you back by three. Enjoy your time. Save the questions for your grandma, your wife. I mean, come on.
SPEAKER_01For the record, the end of the story, I didn't go.
SPEAKER_00All that for nothing.
SPEAKER_01I didn't like his answers.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, not enough information.
SPEAKER_01His answers just I was like, hey, do we have cell phone service? Do we have cell phone service? Probably not. Is there a bathroom? Yeah, it's really small. Really small in me don't go well. Is there an awning? No. I was like, hey, you know what, man? I'm gonna I and I I I respectfully bat out.
SPEAKER_02Are there Somali pirates in the water? But but literally. And where are the guns stored on this boat in case I need to defend my life? I mean, come on.
SPEAKER_00We need to go full-blown militia mode. Where are we going?
SPEAKER_01Are there choppy waters? Are are we are we do we have rough seas ahead? But yeah, no, just to just to circle back to your point. Like, I'm uh I'm more leaning, I need to know every little detail about everything. I'm sure you guys are realizing that now in our group chat. So uh I totally agree with that. What else you got for us?
SPEAKER_02I love it. I love it. But just also about knowing details. What about knowing details about each other? Right? Like, oh, Matt? Oh, that's just Matt from high school. Yes, you know, or that's Dave next door. That's Mike from the pizza shop. Oh, you've known him for 18 years, but women, it's like, oh, they know their their birthday, their gemstone.
SPEAKER_00We know everything. You know, what from each other's birthdays down to our childhood trauma. We know it all.
SPEAKER_02Right. I know what you did last summer, I know who you made out with in fifth grade, you know. Yeah, everything.
SPEAKER_01Shout out to no.
SPEAKER_02Shout out to behind the coats hanging in the in the elementary school. Yeah, right.
SPEAKER_01You got kissed in fifth grade. That's a presence.
SPEAKER_02Totally different topic. Uh uh, no, that was my first kiss was in first grade, actually. First grade. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, but we'll get to that.
SPEAKER_00The fact that you kissed any other woman before knowing me is insane. I'm upset.
SPEAKER_02She was a prude.
SPEAKER_00I'm upset.
SPEAKER_02Little peck just to show my appreciation. Just to show my appreciation.
SPEAKER_01Does everyone remember their first? Do you remember your first kiss? Um Mike.
SPEAKER_00I think Literally. I don't know, actually. Honestly, I don't I think I I kind of forgot.
SPEAKER_02The only reason I even remember that is because it was abnormal, right? It's like nobody else is kissing in first grade. And I didn't even I think she might have kissed me. I think it might have been one of those. But again, totally different subject. No, I love that. The women know everything.
SPEAKER_00Everything. Are you a real friend if you don't know every detail about each other? Probably not.
SPEAKER_02Men also. I I don't know about you, but I've literally fist fought several of my best friends growing up. And you're best friends an hour later or the next day. Of course.
SPEAKER_00Women, it's like we we gotta have a whole therapy session. We gotta talk it all out. Like, we gotta make sure we're we're good.
SPEAKER_01Like So I have a fun fact. Mike doesn't even know this. He probably doesn't even remember this. But I hung out with Mike outside of school very few times. But the one time we hung outside of school, we played Risk at this kid Peter Peter's house. Shout out to Peter Papa. But I don't even know if you remember this part, but we're all playing, and there's a group of people there, and the I was the outsider coming in. They were all childhood best friends, all very nice, had a great time, but they all they all knew each other. They weren't they were each other's friend group, whereas I necessarily wasn't. So we started playing wrist, and the people shout out to Ris. People that know Riss know it gets pretty intense. Oh, yeah. Mike was playing Riss with someone else someone else, and we were all talking crap to this one kid as a group, and the the kid picked up the dice and smashed it in your face.
SPEAKER_02I don't know if you remember that, but I totally forgot until you mentioned that. Now it's clear as day. Yeah. Oh, because I was a shit talker back in the day. Oh, yeah. And I could back it up, but I was a shit talker. I would let you know if you're fucking up, dude. I'm letting you know. I'm taking your country, I'm taking your women, I'm taking your children, I'm taking your oil, I'm taking all of it, bitch.
SPEAKER_01And it was so funny. I never forget the quote. I have a crazy memory. He quoted the guy. He's like, you know, we're all making fun of you. He's like, everyone else is across the room. You're not gonna mess with them. And he's like, Cuko's cuco, you're not gonna hit him. And I get the brunt of it. And that's that was your exact quote. I would never forget that.
SPEAKER_02So funny. Yeah. But again, I'm sure we're still great friends. Oh, if they were in that room, I guarantee they're still one of my best friends today. Haven't spoken since.
SPEAKER_00But we're still great friends.
SPEAKER_02And Ashley, would the women be planning some type of petty takedown in the future of like, I'm gonna sabotage her life. I'm gonna cut her hair in the back of class. I'm gonna make sure she's I'm gonna make sure she's got up to the city.
SPEAKER_00Again, we got it all planned out, every detail.
SPEAKER_02Pink eye on pictures.
SPEAKER_00We're coming for you.
SPEAKER_01Ashley, have you and your friends? Are you in your are your friend group right now? Are you guys childhood or your recent?
SPEAKER_00No, we met like college years. Okay. Okay. I do have one or two friends that I have maintained from I would say high like early high schools, maybe. I maybe childhood friends maybe lost touch along the way, but most of my friends are like early high school through like college years.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, no, for sure. But yeah, no, managing the group chat as different sex is definitely a different conversation for everybody.
SPEAKER_02Just different maintenance requirements, right? Some it's just different maintenance requirements.
SPEAKER_01It really is so true.
SPEAKER_02And and this is also another different topic because moving, we've all moved to college, moved with families, moved when we were kids. So moving is a whole topic. I just moved my dad down to Tennessee. So shout out to Big Tone. Big Tone. But we were talking about too, like with men, like we don't really, you know, if you just got divorced, you just broke up, you just got laid off, we might hit them hit each other with a oh, you know, that that sucks. But really, the most bonding moment we're ever gonna have is like moving, you know, we're moving a couch in a stairwell and we lock eyes and we don't have to say anything, but you lock eyes and you know one of our lives is on the line here. One of us, the guy on bottom, one of us is risking it all right now. And it better be the guy who is is moving himself, not the guy who's helping. Yes, right? But you lock eyes, you know that moment, you're like, I just moved a couch with that guy. We're we're basically boys now.
SPEAKER_01We're blood brothers.
SPEAKER_00That's probably the extent, I mean, like emotional bonding, like maxing for you guys. Women, it's like we're we're obviously much more emotional beings, clearly. You sure that goes without saying. We definitely require a lot more support from our friends. Like breakups, if you're going through a breakup, it's forget it. That's like a whole, like, it's a whole event. You gotta, you know, it's can we talk? We gotta plan a whole get together around the breakup. You know, you know, we're over here just shit talking, like, girl, he didn't deserve you. We're just we're planning a whole new life for her over while we're bonding over snacks and wine. Like it's a whole, it's a whole, it's a whole marathon.
SPEAKER_02Like you're gonna validate each other and then make a Hallmark movie out of it.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, basically.
SPEAKER_01For the record, we should have that as well as men. But we don't. We bottle it all in and we're like, I'm fine, she's a bitch, we'll live. But really, I won't I wanna eat popcorn with my friends and talk about how much of a bitch she is, right?
SPEAKER_02You were in love with her, but now that you're not, she's a total bitch, and she wasn't even that hot.
SPEAKER_00Oh god.
SPEAKER_02She was she was the prettiest girl you've ever met when you were together, but now, eh, not even that cute.
SPEAKER_00Right. We're over here hyping our girl up. We're con we're complimenting her left and right. Like, oh my god, Queen, you're so hot. You're too hot for him. He doesn't deserve you. Oh my god, you're gorgeous. Like, fuck him. Like, it's it's a whole bonding moment in and of itself.
SPEAKER_02Is there a limit to that? For the audience, for Matt, for Ashley, is there a limit to how far you go? Like, I don't know.
SPEAKER_01I think it depends on it in my in my opinion, with relationship breakups. I think it depends on A, how did the breakup go? B, was it your fault or was it their because there's always an answer. Whose fault was it? It's not how many times have you met somebody when it was it was truly a 50-50 amical breakup? It never happens. It's always, it's always something.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, but when when it's you and your girls, it's always the guys. No, of course. You're gonna have your girls back no matter what. Guys is the death.
SPEAKER_02Oh, you nagged him to death? You cut him down every time he's-time he tried to like do something with his life, you cut him down and you nagged him. Oh, well, he's a lazy fuck. Obviously. He didn't know what he had in you.
SPEAKER_01Could I round third with this topic and just get a little dark and gloomy on you guys? How bad are breakups, right? Oh, they're the worst. Don't, don't I I have the pit in my stomach right now thinking about the breakup. Time really does truly heal all.
SPEAKER_00Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_01Time is everything. But when you're in that breakup, that first day, that first week, you're stalking their page, they're living life, they're doing things, you're you're psychoanalyzing who like the posts. There's nothing worse than being in that fucking depressing dome that is a breakup. And like you said, you know, your friends hype you up, but it really means when you're in the thick of it, you can't eat, you can't sleep. There's nothing worse than a bad breakup. And there's nothing worse than a bad breakup when the other person moved on. And like clearly you're not there yet, and they moved on, and then your mind, everyone says, like, what you do in your own time is just fine. My imagination's not worse, fall out, boy. It's not true. Your imagination sometimes is in is kind of in line with what's happening in that other situation. But yeah, no, I just wanted to circle back to breakups. There's absolutely nothing worse than a bad breakup.
SPEAKER_02Especially when you're young and you think you're like every girlfriend for the first like five years of your young adult life. You think you're marrying them, or right? Every boyfriend, girlfriend, like, oh, I wrote my name, I wrote our name in the notebook a hundred times. You know, you think you're getting married and you're like, well, why would I marry that person? Well, we like cheese pizza together. That's about it. We like the same song. Oh, that's marriage material. That's it. It's so true. Right.
SPEAKER_00And when it's a bad breakup, you better steer clear of the female group chat because let me tell you, we are women, we're basically the fucking FBI. Like, if you wronged your girl, we're gonna find out about it somehow. Like, you just say, you know.
SPEAKER_01No, I totally understand what you're saying. And like you guys become investigators, and you like you said, you're on their page, you're seeing their new ads, you're seeing who likes what. It it like I said, I totally understand. Because we us men do what your group chat does as well. We just don't communicate, right?
SPEAKER_02We keep do it on your own. Do it, you do it while you're in your own bed. Exactly. You're not doing it like, you know, on the computer, talking with your girls, drinking wine. My funny little ad to that is I had a breakup where I was getting reached out to by cousins, and one cousin was like, you fucking blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, right? You're like the worst thing that ever happened to our whole family, which is obviously not true. And then the other cousin was like, She had it coming. She's the, you know, she's a princess. You you were always so good to us. It was, I was like, this is actually kind of comical at this point. You know, I was still in my feelings, but it was like the one cousin is going buck wild, the other cousin is like, you can marry my daughter if you want to, you know, it's fine.
SPEAKER_01Second cousin. What are they called? Kissing cousins. Ooh, okay. That's a thing. I don't know what that is. I think it's like second cousin once you're moving. It's called kissing cousins, but interesting. Yeah, no, it's definitely breakups suck. Group chats, like you said, group chats with different people is just a totally different thing. It all, like you said, me and Mike, we're both males. We have total different group practice. I'm more on the feminine side about the group chat. He's more of the like, yeah, I'll see, see at six sometime somewhere, like, don't really care about what's going on. Let's just link. Like, everyone's different as far, even women. Some women are more aloof than others, and it is just a fascinating topic to see. Like, so for you listeners, while you're listening through these airways, you have to ask yourself right now, what kind of who am I in the group chat? Am I a I'll see you, I'll leave you on red for three weeks and then casually check in? Or am I every single day, I want to know what you cried about, why'd you cried about, and when? So you have to ask yourself that over here gotta get said.
SPEAKER_02Shout out to our friends, shout out to our friends. It's gotta get said, right? We would not be here without our friends, without your family that is your also some of your best friends, right? So shout out to our friends.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Y'all are some of our biggest supporters, if not our biggest supporters. So we love all of you.
SPEAKER_01Guys, it's I'm so excited, guys. I'm so pumped right now to finally get to say this. Guys, we have a Dr. Ivo's dose coming up. And I'm excited. We have a new segment that you guys are gonna hear. I'm so pumped. I'm so ready. Welcome. And here it is. I'm gonna give the floor to Dr. Michael Michael Ivacini. And I wanna hear what his dope is.
SPEAKER_02Keep the tight search radius. US air guitar, all-star air off. Can you believe that? There is a sport now about playing air guitar. That's my that's not my quarterback, that's my pizza man. That's my guy. I might get a photo up on the wall one day. Have a laugh. Dr.
SPEAKER_01Zor.
SPEAKER_02Alright, guys. Again, the kind of purpose of this is just to read some funny headlines. Some might be pertinent to us, some might not be, but they're just random, funny, medical, world traveling. I want to bring back up the uh the idea of we were talking about swimming in the ocean, and it is the summer, right? Watching out for sharks. We have a headline here. Shout out to this lady. Shout out to Kelsey Fendler, becoming the fastest person of any gender, male or female, let's go, to row solo from California to Hawaii.
SPEAKER_00Good lord. Wow.
SPEAKER_02Can you you won't go in past your shins. This lady is rowing from California to Hawaii.
SPEAKER_00I would end up in the waters of another country. We already know that.
SPEAKER_01The gender part is insane to me.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, good for her.
SPEAKER_01Seriously, shout out to her. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_02I just learned this within the last couple of years that apparently there are people who literally kayak. Now, these are like diesel kayaks. These things are like mini yachts, but they're rowing. They're not just motorboating, they're rowing. There are actually people who row a kayak from North America or South America over to Europe and Brazil, like or over to Europe and Africa. Like people are crossing the Atlantic. We used to think of like, you know, Columbus and whoever, you know, Francisco di Pizarro or whatever these guys' names are, that are coming on big wooden ships. There are people out there in like plastic kayaks now, crossing the fucking Atlantic Ocean, and in this case, crossing the Pacific. Are you out of your mind?
SPEAKER_01That is absurd. They must have the craziest technology GPS to like steer away from storms. Because man, you get caught in a storm in there. That's it. That's Titanic.
SPEAKER_02Absolutely. And it took her just under 44 days. So this girl is rowing for 44 days. I mean, I hope you're taking a nap. I hope you got a banana out there in case you cramp. The sunscreen. I mean, geez.
SPEAKER_00All I know is I've got secondhand anxiety just from just thinking about it.
SPEAKER_01I'm thinking about the amount of sunscreen.
SPEAKER_02So literally, shout out to Kelsey.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, shout out to Kelsey. What else you got for us, Mike?
SPEAKER_02The other thing here is uh speaking of traveling, we got somebody, good old Billy. Don't know the last name. Billy, it might be time for you to cash in, my guy, because apparently he is suing an airline, gotta find out which one for having a windowless window seat. We're looking at the picture of it.
SPEAKER_01He's gonna win. He's gonna win.
SPEAKER_02100% because it's welcome to America, false advertising. Oh yeah, we're gonna make you pay extra. You gotta pay extra for a window seat these days, right? Oh, yeah. That costs money. That's primo real estate. So this guy's over here. I bought a window seat. Next thing you know, I get there, and we're looking at a fucking wall, dude. So shout out to Billy. It might be time for you to cash in, my guy. So you can either take the kayak or you can take the windowless window seat, but either way, you gotta get there, right?
SPEAKER_01Either way, you gotta get there. And might I just give you a little tidbit on flying, I flew to Disney in April, and I don't care where I'm sitting. I don't, I'm not paying extra for a window. I'm not paying extra for a fucking uh a handicapped seat near all that. Like what all I ask, all I ask real quick, just to just uh piggyback on this, just uh, because it came in my head with flying. All I ask is uh, can our flight crew, what are they called? I'm fucking up. Uh flight attendants. Flight attendants. Can our flight attendants just be just a little nice? Just a little nice. Just just be a little nice. I and I understand there's assholes that are asking for peanuts, and there's assholes that are saying this water's not cold enough, can you bring it back? And I get it. I understand that the customer is never right. I work in freaking retail. I get it. But please, can you just be a little nice? If they if they're just nice to you, just be nice back. Because we had a terrible ride home solely because these flight attendants were in a bad mood. And I really mean that. I really, really mean that.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it could be a make or break, right? I mean 100%. We get it. You're on your like seventh flight of the day. Which I truly do get.
SPEAKER_00I truly do get it. But it's like you signed up for. I mean, I'm in a very high stress environment at my job, but I doesn't mean I can just take my problems into work with me and take it out on everybody. It's like you're also feeling miserable, you're not feeling well. You know, we all have our issues, but you know, you gotta leave it at the door. You gotta keep it professional at the end of the day.
SPEAKER_02Totally.
SPEAKER_01All right, guys. So we're pretty much rounding third. Mike, you have a, you know, we're a little off the record. Mike's got a heart out today. Mike's got a Mike's got a fun little day planned in the city, right? Mike, what do you what do you what do you got going today? New York. Remember, we said she sang. There we go. That's the first time I got a glimpse of it.
SPEAKER_00That's all you're getting, though. I'll tease it. I'll tease it.
SPEAKER_01You have stage fright or no?
SPEAKER_00Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_01Oh, yeah, I get it.
SPEAKER_00I'll sing my head off just like randomly, but if you put me on the spot, I'm like, we're gonna break her out of that shell though.
SPEAKER_02We're gonna break her out of the shell. She can sing anything from like Aretha Franklin. Shout out Aretha. Wow. Is that a medical condition? Dr. Ivan's Dos. My girl Aretha Franklin. She can sing anything from her to Ariana Grande to, you know, Michael Buble. I mean, she's got the different tones, the pitches, the octaves, but we just got to break her out of that shell.
SPEAKER_01That's awesome, guys. So, guys, we're gonna wrap up this episode because Mike and Ashley have somewhere to be. Well, Mike's gonna say something. I got one more. I got one more for us. Hey, listen.
SPEAKER_00One more. We got time today. One more thing. Blow your role there, cowboy. Let's do it. Let's do it.
SPEAKER_02We got time today. So apparently there was, and I don't have the headline, but I have the screenshot. Apparently, there was a bison attack in one of our state parks, national parks. I did see. Might have been Wyoming.
SPEAKER_00My only question is, is this guy still alive? Is he okay?
SPEAKER_02This guy, shout out to this grandpa, okay? He's protecting his grandson apparently. Yeah, the screenshot. This guy's legs. I'm looking at a guy flipped upside down.
SPEAKER_01And let me tell you something. This guy is not in gymnastics class, okay? I'm looking at a man who hasn't been upside down since birth. And he doesn't look like he's happy to be there.
SPEAKER_02You know he's aged because this guy's wearing overalls, right? Overalls and jeans. You're seeing the backside, his posterior view, but this guy's got overalls and jeans on. I mean, come on, he's gotta be grandpa status. But shout out to grandpa. Apparently he was protecting his grandson. The bison charged, did the classic, like hit him from the rear as he's running. This guy got flipped up like 10, 15 feet into the air.
SPEAKER_00He flipped like a panda.
SPEAKER_02Is he alive? Entirely vertical. And that's why I wanted to end Dr. Ivo's dose with. This guy, shout out to this all-American grandpa, protecting your grandkid, taking one from the bison, and this guy's alive. This guy.
SPEAKER_00Oh, thank God.
SPEAKER_02This guy got launched in the air. He needed surgery, but he is stable. Shout out. Good good for you, grandpa.
SPEAKER_00I was scared for him when I saw that, so I'm glad to make it.
SPEAKER_01Dr. Ivo's dose, guys. Dr. Ivo's dose. It's gonna be coming every day. I'm actually gonna throw a question at Mike real quick, right before we end. Mike, did you guys did you watch the Conor McGregor fight?
SPEAKER_02I did. I saw the highlights.
SPEAKER_01What do you uh what's your uh medical opinion?
SPEAKER_02I think they're thinking it's meniscus. Yeah, right. Just meniscus or ACL.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, that's what they're saying. Yeah, I didn't know if you had an opinion on how you saw how it went.
SPEAKER_02The what everybody can learn from is that lateral to medial hit, right? Like he he he didn't get hit, actually. It was a non-contact injury, I believe, right? But his knee you could see buckle laterally to medially. I've actually torn my ACL the exact same way. I'm not a bitch, so I actually have contact injuries that door my ligaments. Oh boy. So shout out, Connor. I love you, man. We're rooting for you. Rooting for all the UFC fighters. Absolute gladiators, by the way. Those guys put their body, mind on the line. Their families support them. Every time they go out there, they're like, this could be my last day. This could be it. So shout out to Connor McGregor, shout out to Max Holloway as well. But yeah, that lateral to medial extension, bending of the knee, meniscus, maybe ACL. Hopefully he's okay.
SPEAKER_01I I I was thinking about asking you that question this whole entire week post the fight because I was like, oh, I can't wait to hear Mike's opinion on it.
SPEAKER_02But let's just talk shit on him and then maybe I'll get a fight with McGregor.
SPEAKER_01Hey, listen, that's a money grab. That's a money grab.
SPEAKER_02Connor, you fucking Irishman.
SPEAKER_00You want a real show? Put me in the ring. I'm gonna drink three bottles of your whiskey.
SPEAKER_02You're the ring girl.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02I'll drink three bottles of your whiskey and then I'll go swing for swing with you, buddy. Let's go.
SPEAKER_01All right, guys. That's gonna be it for us. Like I said, I know last week I said I was on vacation this week. Clearly I'm not. I'm actually on vacation next week. So we're not gonna have an episode next week, but but, but, but have no fear, you guys will have content. I'm gonna have an interview post it up on Tuesday. So, same time, same place you get your podcast with us. It's gonna be on, it's gonna be up. I'm not gonna tell you the guess is because I want it to be a surprise. All I will tell you is it's gonna be cool, you're gonna learn new stuff, and you're gonna be down. And we'll be back, same time, same place in two weeks post that. And that's gonna be it for us. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say goodbye, then I'll throw it to Mike and Ashley so you guys can say bye real quick.
