01:20That was dope.
01:21Thank you so much.
01:22That was lit.
01:23Two touchdowns, Monday Night Football last night, Jaden Daniels, welcome to the NFL party.
01:28He went 21 for 23 for 254 yards, two touchdowns, and then another 39 on the ground and one
01:34rushing touchdown.
01:36It was a very fun week to be me as a Commies fan.
01:40You're just a football guy, Billy.
01:42You named yourself after the sport.
01:44I actually didn't come up with the name.
01:46Who did?
01:47Big Cat.
01:48Ah.
01:50So yeah, Jaden Daniels, unbelievable game last night on Monday Night Football in Cincinnati.
01:55So first, earlier in the week, the Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt said the Bengals
02:00don't really run a professional offense.
02:02He was taking jabs at Jaden Daniels, saying he doesn't really do much out there.
02:06He said the playbook is a college playbook.
02:08And then he got immediately burned by Terry McLaurin, pretty much all game, not great
02:14for him.
02:15His coach, Zach Taylor, kind of snapped on him after the game.
02:17He's like, we don't do that.
02:20And then what else happened?
02:22This guy on the Bengals postgame show said Jaden is not that good.
02:26So I'd like your take on this.
02:28No, dude.
02:29So Jaden, there were times where he was going with more basic concepts earlier in the year
02:35because he's just coming onto the NFL scene.
02:38He's processing crazy defenses he's never seen.
02:41Jaden's one of these guys who, it's kind of crazy.
02:43He did win the Heisman.
02:45He was drafted second overall.
02:46Second.
02:47Caleb, Jaden, Drake.
02:49It's not like everyone was overlooking him, but he is one of these guys that is going
02:53to translate because he is a baller.
02:56He is a strategic passer.
02:59He doesn't overcompensate with his mobility, with his legs.
03:03And he's like, as we saw, has made it to the next level.
03:06But the Bengals do suck terribly.
03:10Counterpoint.
03:11They held Mahomes to 158 yards last week.
03:15And last night, Jade Daniels carved them up like a Thanksgiving turkey.
03:19Counter, counterpoint, the Chiefs' run game was the main concentration of their game plan.
03:26Counter, counter, counterpoint.
03:28You can't be the guy, after a generational performance, he completed 90% of his passes.
03:33He's an 80% passing quarterback for the entire season.
03:36You can't be the guy whose one soundbite is, Jaden's not that good.
03:41You just can't be that guy.
03:42He was on the Bengals and said that after?
03:44He's the post-game guy for the Bengals network.
03:47All of Chicago was praying Caleb Williams would have one game like this and Jade Daniels.
03:52You nailed it earlier.
03:54We eased Jaden into the NFL doing a very limited, very limited, they were open about it, Cliff
04:00Kingsbury was open about it.
04:01It was a very limited playbook.
04:02They're slowly opening it up.
04:04Caleb, it looks like, was just thrown to the wolves with the worst offensive line of all
04:07time and he was asked to do things he shouldn't have been asked to do.
04:10I mean, there was a Tom Brady clip.
04:12I forget from what podcast it was about how the NFL isn't letting rookie quarterbacks
04:17develop.
04:18Yeah.
04:19And like Patrick Mahomes, he's one of these mobile guys who makes great throws, a little
04:24more running gun.
04:25He was allowed to sit behind Alex Smith for a while and gave him the confidence that when
04:30he finally got in, he had a whole year of studying the playbook, understanding concepts.
04:34Aaron Rodgers sat.
04:35Yeah.
04:36Jordan Robin sat.
04:37Why don't we sit more guys?
04:39Because they just, it's so, my take is this.
04:43It's so, and we'll see it.
04:44The next topic is Trevor Lawrence.
04:45It's so hard to be a quarterback in the NFL.
04:47They just want to see if you've got it or don't got it.
04:49And then they'll just take the next guy.
04:51What they're forgetting though, what you said is maybe just, these guys are really good.
04:54The NFL is just really hard.
04:56Maybe give them a little bit of time.
04:58Like for example, Andy Dalton, you know, guy who's been in the league for a really long
05:02time.
05:03He gets out there, balls out for Carolina, Bryce Young, you know, may suck or he may
05:10just need more time.
05:11Well, people thought Justin Fields sucked.
05:12Now he's balling.
05:13Now look at Sam Darnold.
05:15He's balling against his former team.
05:17It takes a lot of quarterbacks a lot more time maybe than, I think the NFL is just so
05:22much harder now than what it used to be.
05:24Also, I think it allows coaches to get more time to fail.
05:29If you draft a new quarterback, like, oh, you get a second chance.
05:33Like if you start that quarterback, you know, or you don't, it just gives you more time
05:38to get more money.
05:40And at the end of the day, capitalism runs this world.
05:42So if you just keep, if you keep drafting new quarterbacks, then you just keep getting
05:47more time to like fuck up and then you can just blame your new quarterback.
05:50If I'm the Bears, I'm not panicking about Caleb.
05:54You know, he still has plenty of time.
05:55He's still 21 years old.
05:56If I'm the Patriots, I don't let Drake Macy the field at all this year.
06:00Yeah, I don't know why they put him in against the Jets.
06:02That was ridiculous.
06:03That was terrible.
06:04Even though it was garbage time, whatever, just why even do it?
06:07I mean, it almost looks like they want to show that they're doing something, but you
06:12gotta get, you gotta let them go down.
06:14I feel bad for Bears fans.
06:15They're in hell this morning because Caleb kind of looks like he stinks, but it's not
06:18his fault that Jaden's so good.
06:20Like Caleb could still be good.
06:21They're always going to be compared because they went 1-2 in the draft.
06:23I think it's unfortunate.
06:25Also, Caleb cried in his mom's arms after losing one college football game, neither
06:30here nor there.
06:31The thing is, you don't do stuff like paint your nails because then when you get these
06:34tough positions, they all paint at your pointed nails.
06:37Yeah, even if it has nothing to do with your performance.
06:40It's like, oh, he was too busy painting his nails and not watching tape.
06:44It's so easy to say.
06:45I actually called this on macro a year ago and got literally crucified for it, but now
06:50everyone's doing it.
06:51You got fired for it.
06:52Yeah, basically.
06:53Facts.
06:54You did get fired.
06:55Pull up that clip.
06:56Not for part of my take, which is a misconception that's weirdly getting passed around.
07:01Trevor Lawrence, he was the other Monday Night Game last night.
07:05People are calling him a bust at this point.
07:07He's lost his last eight starts.
07:09Does he have the biggest contract?
07:11He's just signed five years, 275 mil.
07:13Okay, and he's awful.
07:15He's lost his last eight starts in Jacksonville.
07:19His stats are terrible.
07:21He's completing barely 50.
07:22Can you scroll down a little bit?
07:24He's completing 52% of his passes.
07:27He's 28th in touchdown percentage.
07:30He's young.
07:31So he's like 26, 27?
07:34So he was like, and Matt knows, he was like a phenom.
07:39You heard about him in high school.
07:40He's only 24.
07:41Oh, he's younger than me?
07:42He's only 24.
07:43He's too young.
07:44Yeah, he's 24 years old.
07:45So this is now his make or break it, because this was a take I had way when he got drafted.
07:50He's always been on sick teams with tons of talent around them.
07:54So he was on a high school team that never lost, which was a powerhouse high school.
07:58He was on a college team, Clemson, which had tons of weapons, great coach, great winning
08:03culture.
08:04They did lose games, but it was pretty easy for him.
08:07He won a national champion.
08:08He started as a freshman from day one.
08:10He was anointed the best thing since Peyton Manning.
08:13He's going to be at a Hall of Fame or blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
08:16And then when you get to the NFL and you get thrown on these shitty teams and you have
08:19to deal with adversity and bringing up the level of play of all the players around you,
08:24and that's something that great quarterbacks do.
08:26Any good quarterback can go into a great team with great players around them and just
08:32be good.
08:33But if you can be a guy that can bring up all the talent around you, that's what separates
08:36the Tom Brady's.
08:37That's what separates even the Andy Dalton's, who just brought up all the level of play.
08:41He's just about to do it 24 years old.
08:43He's been starting every game for so long.
08:47He understands how to be a quarterback.
08:49He understands that.
08:50He's a guy who I feel like, he obviously was very good before he had his little slump here.
08:56I feel like he was hyped up a lot because of the way he looked.
08:59I was like, people were calling him-
09:01People liked that he looked like Sunshine from Rembrandt's Titans.
09:03So that added that much more fuel to the fire.
09:06If he was a gross looking NFL quarterback, he wouldn't be getting one one hundredth of
09:11the fucking-
09:12People were calling him Daniel Jones with long hair.
09:13You know what I would do if I was him?
09:15I'd cut the hair.
09:16Very long.
09:17I would too.
09:18Look, we're grinding.
09:19It's like when a wrestler needs a gimmick change.
09:21Yeah.
09:23In wrestling.
09:24He needs to change and he needs to show that, hey, I'm ready to grind it out.
09:27It's not pretty boy slinging it.
09:29I mean, if you watch the Bills last night, one, okay, Trevor Lawrence threw the worst
09:32ball of all time.
09:33It was intercepted by DeMar Hanlon, which was very funny.
09:36Two, Josh Allen is extremely good at it.
09:40Oh, Josh, you know how many bets I won off of Josh Allen last night?
09:43On the DraftKings Sportsbook?
09:44On the DraftKings Sportsbook.
09:46I can read them.
09:47It was like two plus passing touchdowns, like two plus anytime touchdowns.
09:51The Bills look like Super Bowl favorites right now.
09:55And Trevor Lawrence was seeing ghosts.
09:57And Doug Peterson should be fired.
09:59If he's not fired by the time this rundown airs, that's a mistake.
10:01Dude, here's the thing.
10:02He's 24 years old.
10:03He's having a bad season and a half.
10:05No, but he was bad.
10:07You're talking about giving people time in the NFL.
10:11He's putting in time now.
10:12It's not all going to be sunshine and roses.
10:15Call back to sunshine.
10:16Yeah.
10:1724 years old.
10:18Imagine.
10:19He's not going to be with this team forever.
10:20Imagine in five years how much, if he's honing his skills on shitty teams, how much better
10:24he's going to be if he's surrounded by weapons.
10:26Now that's sports talk.
10:27I can do it all.
10:28You're buying his stock low.
10:29Yes.
10:30Yes.
10:31But the thing is, those quarterbacks don't get many chances like four years down the
10:38line, three years down the line, because they're going to pick up some new kid who's going
10:41to fail just like this guy.
10:43It's like the craziest thing coaches do.
10:45Sam Darnold.
10:46Baker.
10:47Yeah.
10:48Baker.
10:49Baker.
10:50I guess you do.
10:51I feel like he's already been branded as like, this is a guy who was really good, so another
10:56team will give him a shot, and he can just use the excuse that he had no weapons on this
11:00team.
11:01He reminds me of Kirk Cousins.
11:02He's going to start in the NFL for 15 years, and he's always just going to be an average
11:06quarterback.
11:07No.
11:08No.
11:09Because Kirk Cousins has the decisive playmaking, in-the-pocket playmaking ability that teams
11:15love and will pay.
11:16That's why he's the highest paid player over the whole career.
11:19Trevor Lawrence will not be a career backup.
11:21He will bounce around starting.
11:23If he doesn't figure it out, he'll still start.
11:24If he cuts his hair.
11:25If he cuts his hair.
11:26Yeah.
11:27What are you looking at, Pat?
11:28I think he's too light in the hips.
11:29Someone sent me something really important.
11:30Were you replying to texts?
11:31Nope.
11:32Okay.
11:33Pat's phone is brought to you by Stella Blue.

12:54Amtrak announces a 48-hour one-way trip from Chicago to Miami, which made me laugh because
13:01everybody, like, you know, every six months that all guys want is one thing, tweet goes
13:06viral and it's the high-speed rail.
13:08And Amtrak instead gave us a 48-hour one-way trip from Chicago to Miami, which, uh, it
13:16takes 21 hours to drive or three hours to fly, but they said, no, we'll do the driving
13:23and flying for you.
13:24Didn't Coley Mick once take a train to Georgia from here because he didn't want to fly?
13:27Coley pretended he couldn't fly for a while, and so he took, yeah, he took a train to the
13:32NBA All-Star Game.
13:33He did pretend he couldn't fly.
13:34I remember that.
13:35He said he was trying to, like, say that he didn't trust aviation.
13:38I don't know what it was.
13:39He's like, there's a metal tube in the sky, and how could you ever trust that?
13:42I don't know, because it's a proven thing.
13:44Did he have, uh, what's it called?
13:45Vertigo.
13:46Vertigo.
13:47But how does that affect you being a fucking pilot?
13:48I don't know.
13:49I will say, I think he was just, I think he was just going through it.
13:52He did pass out.
13:53They went to interview someone on SiriusXM, and the studio was, like, on the 70th floor,
13:58and he looked out the window and, like, passed out.
14:00I want to know, do we know how much tickets are for this?
14:02Because this could be a good party train.
14:04No, dude.
14:05If you're in Spring Break, even if you're in Spring Break in the Northeast, and you
14:08can pick this up connecting in DC, maybe take a Northeast Regional down to DC, you hop on
14:13with five or six buddies, hit three or four stops on the way, the beers, the cafe car,
14:18oh my god.
14:19Being stuck in a car in a seat while drunk?
14:23I think they have beds.
14:24I think they have, like, big beds and, like, sleeper rooms and stuff.
14:27You're sleeping with the homies?
14:28No, dude.
14:29I don't get it.
14:30Ideally.
14:31I think I'd love some.
14:32The bar car gets, like, rowdy.
14:33I take the train often to DC.
14:34How long is that?
14:35Like, two hours?
14:36It's, like, three, three and a half, and I'll tell you what, like, it feels like forever.
14:40One of the most drunk I have ever been in my life, period, was on a train from New York
14:46City to Providence with the Wonton Don and Smitty, and we sat in the cafe car for four
14:52hours and drank Blue Moon beers, and I think I had about ten of them, and I hopped off
14:58and I could barely walk.
14:59My mother was, my sweet mother was picking me up, and she was like, what is wrong with
15:04you?
15:05I could barely walk.
15:06I was hungover for three days.
15:07So I couldn't imagine two full days of drinking with no hangover cure.
15:12Three years in a row, I've gotten trapped on the Amtrak back from Philadelphia from
15:16a PLL event to New York, and the car just stops at, like, 11 p.m. somewhere in New Jersey,
15:24and, like...
15:25You can't get off.
15:26You can't get off, and you just get...
15:28Have you ever had one where they have to replace the engine on a train?
15:31I've sat on an Amtrak before.
15:32Like, they're like, we're getting a new engine, so the whole front car, they take off.
15:35I'm actually all for this, though.
15:37There's a map on TikTok that shows, I'm sure it's all over, it shows, like, where abandoned
15:42railroads are in the United States, and it looks like a spiderweb, like, the map and
15:47how much we've just completely abandoned using railroads.
15:50If they could expand this to, like, everywhere and make it somewhat affordable...
15:55Just make it high speed.
15:58I feel like today's is high speed.
15:59This is a normal Amt...
16:00No.
16:01Okay, here you go.
16:02This is a normal Amtrak train.
16:03Dude, check out some...
16:04Look at all these abandoned railroads.
16:06Look at that.
16:07Yeah.
16:08Dude, check out some of those ones in China.
16:10They can do, like, basically the equivalent of New York to L.A., and, like...
16:14I think...
16:15Isn't Elon trying to do that L.A. to Vegas?
16:17He's building, like, a tunnel...
16:19I feel like that should take, like, a month to complete.
16:22L.A. to Vegas?
16:23No.
16:24Literally, it's like a five-hour drive.
16:25You can't make that shit fucking happen.
16:27That was, like, the Boring Company was doing that.
16:29That got scrapped?
16:30I think it got scrapped because he got caught up with space.
16:33Yeah.
16:34He got distracted by space.
16:35He got distracted by space.
16:37But check out, like, how...
16:38Don't even get me going on the whole space travel bullshit that we're going on right
16:43now.
16:44I'm pro-space travel.
16:45I'm more pro-Earth travel.
16:47Like, make Earth...
16:48Yes.
16:49My big take...
16:50Billy, you might need to do some research for me.
16:53When you're city planners, and let's use New York City as an example...
16:56All right.
16:57So, I already know the problems with what you're saying.
16:59Is there an infinite number of cars they will let in?
17:02Or at some point, are they going to have to say, we're just a little island, like, we're
17:06out of space for cars.
17:07We can't let them...
17:08What do you mean?
17:09Cars that people drive in?
17:10Because I feel like if you take an Uber at any time or just walk down the street, it's
17:13gridlock traffic on every avenue, every hour of the day in New York City.
17:17That's not true.
17:18It's mostly true.
17:19You've got to remember, cars are leaving, too.
17:21Yeah, there's...
17:22Yeah, but at some point, as an island, do they have to be like, we're out of space?
17:27They are.
17:28They're doing congestion trafficking.
17:29But they got rid of that, too.
17:31That's because they knew they couldn't fucking do it.
17:34But basically, with the flow of traffic, they more likely will increase lanes on stuff so
17:41that it can accommodate more cars coming in and out.
17:44Whereas they put in the West Side Highway, they put in the FDR Drive, those were all
17:48things they did.
17:49Like, we might actually expand that out more and put more ballots in the river.
17:52Down by Battery Park, down there, they're literally talking about just adding on to
17:56Manhattan.
17:57Yeah, they've been doing this for centuries.
17:58Oh, just growing Manhattan.
17:59Literally, yeah.
18:00Look up Manhattan original coastline.
18:02We've actually built out, and actually, this happens a lot.
18:04This is a fascinating topic that my nerd brain's coming out on.
18:08They literally shape cities by dumping ballast from boats.
18:12This is what it used to look like, back before Europeans arrived.
18:16So like, Seaport was just like...
18:18Yeah.
18:19They just...
18:20It was a beach.
18:21They just put all of it in with rocks and ballast and stuff from mining activity from
18:25up the Hudson.
18:26What was ballast?
18:27Ballast is stuff they put in boats that don't have any cargo so that they sit lower in the
18:33water and are more...
18:35So they don't flip over, basically.
18:36Like weight.
18:37Yeah.
18:38I still don't know what it means, but I'll take your word for it.
18:40So yeah, it might extend all the way out to there.
18:43New York might get a big hanging ball.
18:44I also don't understand.
18:45We need less people, not more people.
18:48I don't understand.
18:49Like, have we not run out of room here yet?
18:51That's what I keep saying.
18:52But not with traffic.
18:53I'm saying like in general, like building up.
18:56Are we fucking out of room here?
18:58Like enough is enough with the construction.
19:00They've been doing construction on this building that we are in for five years.
19:05Oh, well you know what it is.
19:06And I look outside and all they do is raise and lower buckets of shit.
19:10That's all they do.
19:11Well, that has to do with the unions and the health.
19:13There we go.
19:14It has to do with the scaffolding unions and that the building department requires your
19:19building to go under search for bricks and stuff like every five years.
19:23The thing is, it's safer to just have the scaffolding up so brick doesn't fall and kill
19:26somebody and everyone cashes in.
19:28I would love to own a scaffolding company.
19:30You just have a city contract.
19:32I think there was something on like Nat Geo about that.
19:35There's like three companies that do all the scaffolding in New York City.
19:38I assume they're all billionaires.
19:39They're all just family owned, Paizan, fucking whatever.
19:43Guys from Queens.
19:44There you go.
19:45Is what the scaffolding market?
19:47One company was valued at.
19:49So this is this is where like, you know, the mob went legal.
19:53Like they're like, we don't have to like run drugs or anything.
19:56We just got to take care of these very lucrative like deals that we can ensure that our political
20:02networking like the global scaffolding market was eight hundred and seventy billion.
20:08Oh, that sounds low with how much scaffolding.
20:11Eight hundred and seventy million.
20:13I don't know what that number is.
20:14Eight seven thousand seven hundred and eight.
20:17Yeah.
20:18Eight point seven billion.
20:19Got it.
20:20Yeah.
20:21No, that.
20:22Yeah.
20:23Those are fake numbers.
20:24Yeah.
20:25It's not.
20:26That's too big to quantify.
20:27It isn't like I don't like it.
20:28The scaffolding.
20:29Oh, it's ugly.
20:30I hate when I walk out.
20:31But some of the nice like Jeff Bezos has a place on Madison Avenue and the scaffolding
20:36out.
20:37It's very well known the scaffolding by his building.
20:39He didn't like.
20:41So we hire this company to put in this really beautiful ritzy white scaffolding with arches
20:46and beautiful LED lights.
20:48And so now a bunch of these high end buildings like you're like illuminated under this beautiful
20:53scaffolding of crap like this.
20:55Wait, can we look that up?
20:56Jeff Bezos scaffolding because that's that's genius.
20:59High end scaffolding.
21:00I didn't think about that is something we should get into.
21:05Huh.
21:06Well, there's the thing is, it does prevent a lot of these loose bricks and some of these
21:11old buildings fall off.
21:13And does that happen?
21:14So it happened.
21:15It happened once.
21:16And name one name, one New Yorker that wouldn't like to get smoked in the head by a road.
21:19No.
21:20Here's what happened in like 1992.
21:22It did happen.
21:23Someone died and then they passed.
21:24It's called like local law 46 or something where a building over eight floors has to
21:29be inspected every five years.
21:31So my old apartment building, I moved in mostly because I liked the roof.
21:35Two months after I moved in, we were up for it.
21:39Roof was closed the rest of the time I lived there.
21:41That's something for people to ask before you move into a building or do we get closed
21:46down and then like you have people repelling outside your window the entire time.
21:51Also I'm looking for an apartment now and the realtor who I'm using is like, do yourself
21:55a favor.
21:56Wait till after the election because prices are going to after the election.
22:00Word to the wise.
22:01I'm looking for an apartment in New York City.
22:02Wait.
22:03Interesting.
22:04Depends.
22:05Depends.
22:06But you know what's crazy?
22:07The Eastern Seaboard Megalopolis.
22:10Oh.
22:11This is, no, this is actually one of the most fascinating.
22:14You know, speaking of Amtrak, this is why Amtrak conducts its best work.
22:18So look at the Eastern Seaboard Megalopolis.
22:20Well, Amtrak is subsidized by the government and loses money every year.
22:25Despite how many beers people buy.
22:29So it's basically the United States could probably only support the population density
22:36of the Eastern Seaboard Megalopolis.
22:39So like right there is about, I want to say a hundred, I want to say like 50 million people
22:46is just in that area from Washington DC up to Boston, up to kind of Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
22:53So that's like where the majority, like that's a third of the U.S. population right in there.
22:59It's basically the largest city structure in history.
23:02So you're saying the earth itself physically can't support it?
23:06Or what are you saying?
23:07No, no.
23:08The earth.
23:09No, if the United States, we were talking about running out of space, like that would
23:11be the population density of, that we could fit in the entire United States.
23:16I always think about that when I'm flying over like the Midwest.
23:18We have plenty of space.
23:20All of China is like that.
23:21We have so much space.
23:22Yeah, we have too much space.
23:23No, but the thing is China's, all of China is that population density.
23:27We have probably more.
23:29Let's see what China megalopolis has.
23:31I mean, listen, we, I mean.
23:32You know how many places the size of Philadelphia, China has?
23:35Like 40.
23:36I mean, this is what people aren't talking about.
23:38It's crazy.
23:40So after.
23:41We have three megalopolises.
23:43After show I don't have anything.
23:44After show is megalopolis talk.
23:46How many megalopolises do they have?
23:49Dude, we're getting out mega.
23:51So megalopolis is literally just a word for a number of people.
23:54Could bezo?
23:55No, no, it's a word for just.
23:56So I have a question.
23:57Could Bezos go into Wyoming and build a megalopolis?
24:01Well, that's what they're doing in Saudi Arabia.
24:03Check out the line.
24:04Yeah.
24:05Oh, we know what the line.
24:06Oh yeah.
24:07You know what they're doing with the farmland in New Mexico and Arizona?
24:09What Saudi Arabia is doing with that?
24:10Oh, they bought it all.
24:11Brother.
24:12Check it out.
24:13They're running the wells dry out there and locals are like pissed, like all our water
24:17is going away.
24:18Our crops are going away.
24:19And it's because Saudi Arabia is buying up arid desert land, drilling for water, and
24:25they're going to try and control the food source.
24:26All right.
24:27We'll take that out.
24:28Well, I mean, I mean, look, sometimes the facts hit the smart people first.
24:35Anything else?
24:36Uh, follow out and about.
24:37Yeah.
24:38Out and about new episode comes a new episode is out today with, oh, you guys are actually
24:42unlike this.
24:43It was one of the craziest conversations.
24:45There's a show called the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives on Hulu.
24:49It's the number one show.
24:50You know what it is.
24:52These ladies are so insanely just like unfiltered.
24:57It's like the housewives on steroids.
24:58So Joey and I just had a completely unfiltered conversation asking them anything we've ever
25:02wanted to know about, like the Mormon religion.
25:05And it was fascinating.
25:06Okay.
25:07Check it out.
25:08And actually don't even check it out.
25:09Just subscribe and listen for 30 seconds.
25:11That way we get help.
25:12The algo.
25:13Yeah.
25:14Help the algo.
25:15Do that for audio crack as well.
25:16That's CRAIC.
25:17Mostly out and about.
25:18And then yeah.

25:20CRAIC.
25:21Yes.
25:22It's like Irish word.
25:23What's the CRAIC?
25:24Yeah.
25:25Great CRAIC.
25:26Today we had Throat God on.
25:27Completely unhinged.
25:28Throat God.
25:29Throat God.
25:30He has to change his name.
25:31That's way too close to Throat God.
25:32I know.
25:33I mean, that's on him.
25:35That's all we got.
25:36That's the rundown.
