Willy talks about running his first half marathon and Ubering two hours to see MJ Lenderman, while Rusty admits to crop-dusting on a plane. The gang also dives into the origins of “hello,” a bird that can stay airborne for up to 10 months, and lessons from the Hookup Hero on why you shouldn’t fear wild parties. Plus, the boys draft ways to slide into DMs and beach games that don’t exist.

Chapter 1: What happened during the North Carolina recap?
But you can do it tomorrow. What do you mean? Okay. Lamar Jackson. Sure. Lauren, whatever happened to you? You used to Google this shit. This looks disgusting. You haven't typed in a word. Lauren's got some sort of gruel. She's eating gruel again.
We know he's... Well, what did you want me to Google? I don't know.
Just stay on top of it. Just stay on top of it. I'm sorry. We came back hot. We came back hot. We're the bad boys of podcasting again.
Yeah, how was your journeys?
Dude, yesterday was one of the... With the exception of that one where I was throwing up on the plane. Yeah. Yesterday was the worst, the hardest I've ever traveled. Really? Why? We, when you, so Willie, we were in North Carolina. Willie went to an MJ Lenderman concert and left the rest of us unsupervised. And we, James and I were playing on a golf simulator. We were trying to be the first guy.
It was so stupid. We were trying to be the first guys to tie until the sun came up. It didn't make any sense. Tie? We were trying to like have the same score until the sun came up. And then at like 445, we were,
what are we doing like we got like a little bit more sober and like kind of realized how stupid it was tied well you might have been the first guys to tie until the sun come up no i know but it was like it's just like it was no reason we should have been doing that so this place was open all night no we had a golf similar in our house we were in this sick like airbnb that was like called birdie house
and uh they have like a simulator buddy oh is it yeah they have like a like a green on the in the yard too it's actually it was cool but then we woke up and we were driving to the airport it was kind of that same hungover when you and i went to epcot the first time where everything was like really really really funny and then we got to the airport and it literally in like the blink of an eye it wasn't funny anymore i was in pain
and so bobby and i went and got a couple beers and that made me feel like a little bit better which is always like it's the wrong line of thinking yeah it's a it's a temporary solution to a pretty permanent problem um Because once those wear off, then I was where I was before times a million. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was checking the upgrade. There were nine available first class seats.

Chapter 2: What was the story about the guy in the vents?
I was like, oh, perfect. I'll get one. And whatever number it was, I was one below. That's when there were nine available. I was 10, whatever. And so I was like, you know what? It's fine. I'm not going to get my hopes up. And then when I scanned my ticket, they put me in first class. So I don't know what happened. But then here's the kicker.
Kick me.
I went to... It was one of those ones where it's just wide enough where you can slip in without the person in the aisle having to, like, get out.
But she should have just gotten out. And so I was, like, kind of, like, tipped on by her, and my stomach wasn't feeling great.
Wait, what?
You can't just escalate it like that. That's what I heard. She was far from... She wasn't at her house. Whatever. Unless you're just guessing. I made a face like, oh, do you guys smell that? It wasn't me before you could smell it. And then there wasn't a smell. So I just looked nuts to her.
I don't think she knew it. And then I went to sit up like this, like 30 minutes into the flight. And the second I put my...
leg up like this like a loud fart came out but we were up in the air so I don't think she heard it but it was like just the nightmare of getting sat next to me you were crop dusting her it's fine dude it happens we're guys we crop dust How was MJ Linderman? MJ Linderman.
New shirt and hat? Is that a Detroit hat?

Chapter 3: How did Willy prepare for his half marathon?
Yeah, my family friend Debra Linder gave this to me. Shout out Debra. Shout out Debra Linder. Is she a Tigers fan? Yeah, she lives in Ann Arbor. And then I got this shirt at the concert. But how about this? We're in North Carolina, and that's the second to last night. We're like two hours from Charlotte, but I just happened to be looking at the app Songkick, and it matches your Spotify.
It sounds like an ad read. But anyway, so I opened it up. It matches your Spotify to concerts near where you are. So you open it up, and it'll just tell you if an artist you listen to a lot is in a city near you. That's a brilliant idea. And so I opened it up, and it said MJ Lenderman today. And I was like, oh, fuck, I missed it. And then I realized it was 1251. So I was like, huh.
So after our last shoot yesterday, I had to take a two-hour Uber. It cost $150 to Charlotte.
but the ticket was only 12 so i feel like 12 i would have paid 150 for the ticket yeah yeah so i feel like it evens out and my two best friends from high school daniel and thomas live in charlotte right by the venue so they came with me to the show and we got to hang out mj my little guy not feeling very well he was he was sick he didn't sound he he was clearly dealing with something uh he was like
hey sorry my voice isn't really there and then still played like a whole set which is honestly unbelievable that is crazy but uh it was a little low energy vibe but did you i cheered him on here for you i said i love you my favorite part was he has a line where he says the word pope and everyone cheered
it's just like it's popes are hot right now you like turn you turn around you're like that was a big applause there's like all the cardinals behind you with the lines like every catholic knows they could have been pope and just right after it everyone's like whoa yeah come off oh they're they're like thinking like the next next go around we got a shot
Do you see what they're doing to his childhood home? The Pope? The Pope? No. So he obviously just has a childhood house in Chicago that he grew up in. Yeah. It's owned by a new family now. And they were like, all right, pretty good opportunity to like auction it off and make like a ton of money. And the city, I guess, is claiming that it's their property because it's like a landmark.
So they want to just... Just because the Pope lived at your house at some point doesn't mean you have to give it up to be a musician. They got lucky. They should reap the reward. Yeah, that's bizarre. They live in sacred walls. They should just own it.
yeah i don't it's kind of like the guy who owns the breaking bad house where it's like i bet it would get old like that lady like screams at people every day that's what i'm saying no i'm saying like you if unless you want people constantly at your house like this this is gonna be like a point of pilgrimage now is it dude you know crazy chicago area man discovers he owns that's funny uh i don't he doesn't sit right with me that he's that he's had sex

Chapter 4: What was the experience with the Uber driver?
I don't think that high.
I feel like that seems... Like, if people are, like, actual, like, devout Catholics, like, if we count... We totally can't. I'm about 95% myself. Come on. I'm about 95%. I don't get it. I've had so much sex, it accounts for 95% of Catholics. Yeah, wait. I've had enough for a whole hundred. 99% of Catholics have had sex before marriage, but 95% of them did it with will. Yeah.
They call him the Kingslayer. I don't know. You're just at 95% of Cardinals events, actually. Oh, God. Dude, did I tell you about my buddy who they all sued his Catholic school? He went to a Catholic high school and the One of the fathers or whatever. Was it Chevers?
No, no, no. Not me.
There was like a guy involved with it there. What happened there? Or like one of the priests from like Spotlight. What's Spotlight? The movie about like the priest abuse stuff in Boston. Like one of the guys got transferred to Chevers.
Someone was telling me about that.
You know, they just like instead of like punishing them, they just like send them away. Yeah. They send them to a place where all the kids are really ugly or something. So they... All right, keep going. So my buddy was, they caught the gym teacher who was also a priest. Yeah. Filming them in the locker room. And so they all sued the school. And I think each kid got like $100,000. Damn. Whoa.
But they were like, he didn't get anything. They were just like in their boxers. So they were like, that seems like a fair trade. Like they didn't feel like super, obviously it was disgusting and gross that he did that. But they were like, it's not like he has some like crazy thing or like abused us, whatever. Like he got a video. I got a hundred thousand dollars for a video of me and my boxers.
Like I would do that every day. obviously you feel like a little icky yeah yeah yeah i don't think i'm yeah yeah sure what do you mean sure like it was your kid oh no no their parents were were furious obviously but i'm saying like these are like 18 year old 17 18 year old boys they were just like i don't and i feel like a little like icky about it but like you got yeah get your bag king

Chapter 5: What lessons did we learn from the Hookup Hero?
He wants to be there. Or she.
I want like a... I don't know. Taylor Swift? Could you say... I would go... I'm going to be on like a watch list. Yeah. Orlando Bloom. I'd just like you to know he's up there. Keira Knightley. Yeah. The whole cast. Dude, I've been... You do Johnny Depp. I got to watch Star Wars for the first time yesterday. Ew. He's allowed to burp. I'm allowed to burp. Thank you. I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry about that.
You watched Star Wars... Which one? Four. Because I've seen the pre... I saw the prequels. I just finished Empire Strikes Back, so I moved on to A New Hope. Nice. Nice. Wait, you finished Revenge of the Sith. Sorry, Revenge of the Sith. Got it. What did I say? Empire Strikes Back. Empire Strikes Back. You got that coming up. Dude. Also, I was talking about this yesterday.
The names of all the Star Wars are sick. Yes. If someone called me the Phantom Menace, there'd be some mystery goo. Let me tell you. Here's my take, and I'll see if you disagree with it. Can I tell you what I think before so it isn't biased? Because I think you are on this same thing. Granted, it's early. I prefer the prequels so far. I'm totally a prequels guy. I'm vastly pervert.
Is that because we're children? I think it's because the beauty of the original Star Wars is it was like this space opera and it was made at a time where that was unique and...
cool and like but now it's kind of lost it's like been it was so successful that it's been mirrored so many times in like stuff that we consume that it doesn't feel as original anymore like it's not like revolutionary at all you know about these characters and stuff and the like it's just a little bit like cornier and like
not and not as impressive like technically too because they didn't have like the ability to do like these crazy it was you know like they made it all with like literal props like they made like tiny versions of all the ships and film them up close that's how they do all the space scenes but also i think the way you're doing it going the prequels into the fourth one too is like hard it's jarring because it's like you go you like regress technologically between the third and the fourth one in terms of like yeah and in terms of like the writing and like way it's
I also just like the cast in the prequels better.

Chapter 6: What are some creative ways to slide into DMs?
Well, I think Anakin's an all-time character. He's one of the best. You know who got, like, shit on for that role? Hayden Christensen? No, I thought the little kid got shit on for it. No, Hayden Christensen got, like, really? He went into, like, hiding for, like, years. He just, like, now is doing events and stuff again. But why did people hate it?
I think a lot of the dialogue is really poorly, like, kind of poorly written. Like, those scenes, like, with, like, Padme in the, like, in the villa in, like, Naboo, like, when they're, like, by the lake.
yeah like i don't know there's like just some corny ass lines that he's given there's some corny ass lines in this in the one that i watched yesterday yeah i don't i just think that uh i'm not a big i don't like because luke skywalker talks like a like a 70s american teenager so it's like hard to yes yeah like they didn't nail the it feels like i feel more immersed in the prequels agreed yeah
Because Hayden Christensen talks like... He doesn't talk like a 2000s teenager. Luke Skywalker talks like a kid from New Jersey. Yes, I agree. I think it's a little... I like the prequels a lot better. Have you guys seen... You should watch Rogue One, too. You should have watched that between three and four. So I almost made a fatal error last night. I almost bought all nine for $99.
Chapter 7: What are some beach games that don’t exist?
It was a bundle. Turns out they're all on Disney+. Yeah, you have Disney+. Yeah, nice. Apparently. The amount of... I canceled... I couldn't figure out a way to figure out what I was subscribed to. Yeah. So I canceled my debit card and started a new one. And I'm learning that I had a lot.
but the but now i only have the ones i want like i was paying for like peacock who i had like basically every single one at some point because i think i started all the free trials yeah yeah i'm getting charged the only thing i'm still getting charged for that i can't figure out how to cancel is door dash which i don't even have a door dash account so it's 10 bucks a month can i can i use your disney let's go you got the no ads i got the one with the ads
I think I have the Hulu with ads.
I kind of like ads because then I look at my phone.

All I'm saying, Lauren. Really, really perverse way of thinking, but yeah. If you want to stream with no ads between the two of us, you know who to call. You know who to call.

Speaking of being worried about taking drinks from someone last night, I was in my Uber. Sometimes they'll hand you a water or something.
Yeah. handed me like a brand that I didn't recognize, but I was like, you know, I'm Thursday. I'll, I'll have one. And when I opened it, I like couldn't tell if it was sealed or not. Like I didn't hear like the, the full crack or whatever. It's like, you know what? I'll take a sip. And then I took a sip. It tasted fine. Took, like, another sip.
And then I started feeling really lightheaded, and my eyes were doing that. But it was impossible to be like, this is from this because I had been feeling kind of like that all day because I was, like, so hungover. So I stopped it, but I was like, what a dumb way to go down if you're, like... Like, if I, like, woke up, like, kidnapped, I would be like, I shouldn't have...
Obviously don't drink the water from the Uber driver. This is just further playing into your like Uber drivers are trying to kill me. Wait, when did I say that? You said that there was more threat of an Uber driver trying to kill you than getting in a car accident.
yeah i think you sound like a fear of uber drivers i think um i don't know i didn't realize that i didn't i should have seen it coming that people were not gonna love that take but i didn't i didn't realize how safe the playmates were i think that's just basic totally now i see that now yeah One thing I'm going to try and do more this year is, you know, I'm not perfect.
I'm going to continue to probably have bad takes, but I'm going to try and be better about admitting when I was wrong. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have made you guys uncomfortable by saying I don't wear my seatbelt. I still don't.
Oh, yeah. I didn't even hear that because I wasn't here for that.
It was akin to the last time where we got 300 comments being like,
