Back in the States

The Mazda CX-50. We're not supposed to be out here. Built for the outdoors. With standard all-wheel drive, specially tuned off-road drive mode, and purposeful design that brings the outdoors in. With an available panoramic moonroof. We're not supposed to be out here. Which is exactly why we are.

The off-road ready Mazda CX-50. We're looking for outsiders. I would like to talk to you about one of our sponsors, Timeline Nutrition, and one product in particular, MitoPure. MitoPure is one of the first products to offer a precise dose of urolithin A to help upgrade your mitochondrial function, help increase cellular energy, and help improve muscle strength and endurance. I've started taking it recently and I've started to tell that there is definitely this one I work out or am active.

but might appear does more than just help with my muscles. It can help with health span as well. I want to be one of those granddads one day that you see in the video of him swinging his grandkid around. I want to rely on myself for as long as I possibly can.

One way to think of MitoPure is that they are in your cells, chomping up the damaged mitochondria that makes you feel old and tired and helping to recycle it into new healthy ones. Mitochondria, our cell's power generators, are one of the key influences in how we age. However, as the years pass, mitochondrial efficiency naturally declines, representing a large gap in the quality of life we expect in our later years and the one we experience.

Taking two soft gels a day for two months and you could see significant improvements in your cellular energy, muscle strength, and endurance. After four months of taking Mito Pure, you might feel yourself getting stronger, recovering faster after a workout, and experiencing less inflammation, all part of your healthier aging routine, which is honestly amazing.

It should not have been rocket science, but I will not put making that assumption on anyone. And before you say, well, you could have told us, no, we could not because we're not allowed in our contracts. Trying to film and podcast at the same time is tough. So, yeah, it was best. It was best that we...

I was going to say, well, if it actually is just, it's so contradictory and counterintuitive that it's not possible. Because if we're filming our lives on the show, therefore we cannot speak about that outside of filming. There is not much for us to podcast about. It's true. It's true. And we thought that we could do it and we were like, yeah, man, we'll pop on. But then it was like, yeah, let's just, well, they didn't. Yeah. It's, um,

You know, we wish we could have told y'all, but it just is what it is. So we're happy to be back. We basically can't say we're filming until the network announces

the new season because if you think back to the olden days people actually didn't know a show was coming back until that first big teaser reel was an like released on it used to be on tv you'd be like and coming this spring uh now it's like yes it's coming back right uh

But Craig and I both have been talking and texting about how we've been getting lots of DMs from you guys being like, when are y'all coming back? Where's the podcast? So that's been really cool to see. It's been great. And we just had to wait.

We hope that y'all are smiling. Hope that y'all are smiling that we have a new pillows and beer podcast to listen to this week. Cause I know that I am, I jumped on today and I was smiling ear to ear looking at Nick and Craig, like we're back. Yeah, we're well, we're back. And I mean, it's, it's exciting that Southern charms back season 10 and

Yeah, and like I said earlier, the official rule is we just have to wait for them to announce it, but they have. It's funny how social media... I don't know the answer. I think there was a really cool essence to the surprise factor, though. It's wild to think about in the beginning that we could film an entire TV show and people actually didn't know. Right, right, right, right. And now...

And now, you know, people know what like the subplots are or think that they do at least. And all these leaks, you know, happen. And it's like, where the hell, where the hell is this leak coming from? You know? And everyone's kind of looking around like, is it, is it you? And it's just funny to me that it's like, you know, you know, which characters are new that are filming or you think that you do. And, and,

Yeah, and just like Craig said, it used to be just like, boom, and here it is, a whole show. I mean, I bet for the first three or four seasons, people had no idea that a new season was coming out until the trailer dropped on Bravo in the middle of one of your favorite shows. Yeah, I remember sitting in –

So my third year of law school, the show had already come out, which is crazy that I actually was still in school. And like people in my class were like, I'm pretty sure that kid, pretty sure Craig did like a random show that's like on TV somewhere. Right. But I remember reading these NBC ad posts.

where they would actually announce what shows were coming back at upfronts. And so I would try to find them on the internet to discover, you know, if the show was coming back or not. That's actually, that's actually exactly what upfronts are supposed to be for, aren't they? But we're excited. Thank you for your patience. Hopefully you will grant us forgiveness for not being able to tell you. Anyway, summer is here.

I mean, we are in the middle of summer. I'm actually glad that you said that because I had a thought prior to sitting down. After 4th of July, I mean, is this like officially what we would refer to as the dog days of summer? Like we're in the dog days of summer. We are smack dab in it.

I feel like I missed the beginning because I feel like at the store, people would come in and you're always like sweating because it's Charleston. But people that aren't from here are like, I'm really sorry. Like I'm sweaty. And you're like, everyone's sweaty here. Or it's like, or they'd say like, it's getting hot. And I was like, oh, just wait in a couple of weeks. But like, I feel like.

Oh, well, I was gone. That's what happened. I was gone. You're like, I don't know why I feel like I haven't, like I missed when the first part of summer, because you literally did. Because it is so like Austin came over with his mom to see the backyard the other day and I could see it on your face, how hot it was in my backyard.

Like the sun was just bouncing off everywhere. And you were just like, and I was like, oh yeah, we're in the middle of summer. Like it's dangerously hot. And like, it's so funny too, because with the sun beating and, and,

and all this like your backyard is like full on flourishing it is like your planters are overflowing your your main garden is like is like you know blooming and and busting with all this like yeah it it's it's and then and then yes it's just and hot as hell and when it's hot as hell

I get antsy. - Yeah, I might get to call Austin a neighbor one day, but we'll see. He's in the market. So if anyone wants to sell their house to Austin,

How funny would it be if season 11 opens and I'm like, they show me jumping on my golf cart and 15 seconds later I'm at Craig's house. He's like, "Oh my God, this motherfucker." It's like season eight or season nine, whenever we did it. Oh, right, right. It's funny because then my Madison went and looked at one of the houses too. She was like, "I'm looking at a house in your neighborhood." I said, "Oh no way. Austin just went and looked at that." Wait, really?

If it was an open house, then yeah. It was the one with like, it was on the far opposite side of the community, like over by my parents and by Anna Hayward's house. Okay. I don't think Craig, man, what are you paying your employees? I know I was very, she's just casually shopping for a house. I want to work for Craig. We must have a good little career path. Now. I mean, I thought the same thing. I was like, that's great. Yeah. Good for her. But I,

I'm just pumped to catch up because I have not talked to Austin since he went to Mexico. Like I said, he popped by the house with his mom, but we haven't caught up since I was in Europe. Last time I saw Nick was at the store opening in Nashville because him and his dad fucking pulled off a miracle and did. Oh, yeah. Austin's repping our hat. Austin got to see the store. Nick and his dad did a lot of most of that construction.

It was a handsome space. It totally was. Much like the downtown Charleston store. You walk in, it smells fantastic. And it's just like a really, really nice layout. So kudos to you, Craig and Nick, and the rest of the SDS team because-

It really is cool. And the 12 South area, if you're familiar with Nashville, there's lots of different options. People are popping in and out. And I went on a Monday. I popped in prior to my flight and it felt very, very homey. So congrats. Well, thanks for going by. You will be accompanying me plenty. We'll be going to Nashville soon.

A lot, but how is, uh, how actually let's take a quick break. Don't get mad at us. We got to take a quick break. Uh, we'll be right back to hear about Austin's trip south of the border.

Just kidding, season whatever. But we're back, baby. And Austin went to...

Mexico City, which it's one of those things that you don't hear of a place forever. And then in the span of you going for your birthday...

I had multiple people on my trip and the wedding planner of this extravagant, gorgeous, amazing wedding that we went to in San Tropez. He's based in Mexico City. And then some of the other people, when they heard he was in Mexico City, was like, oh, that's my favorite city in the world. And these were very wealthy people saying that. So I want to hear about it. Okay.

It is one of those places that I've always wanted to go to, always wanted to go to. It's kind of in the back of my mind that I wanted to visit until kind of this year. Because I've heard just fantastic things. Like I hear it's like a foodie city and it's got fun, you know, nightlife. And honestly, I've heard that it feels like you're like in Europe almost, which is true, you know.

Upon going there, it had like a heavy Parisian influence in the Roma Norte neighborhood, which is where I was, which is a very famous neighborhood in Mexico City. It was so beautiful. And I had just kind of always wanted to go. And then it was my birthday, like two days after filming this.

stopped and I was like I want to leave the country but you know I don't want to commit to going like across you know the pond and I was like this just seems like the perfect time to do something like this and uh well you had a trip planned with Shep and Whitney I yeah that that's true that's true did Shep even go on that trip uh I don't think that anybody went

The trip to Mykonos. Yeah. Yeah. We were going to run back Mykonos, but I felt at this point in time that maybe I shouldn't be running over to Mykonos with Shep and Whitney to do all sorts of things. I got tired thinking about that. No, Craig, I did too. I did too. Because if I'm thinking back to when we went to Mykonos last year,

Shep and I were like rinse and repeat until 4 a.m. and then wake up like at 3 in the afternoon and then shower and then do it all over again. That actually kind of sounds fun. I mean, it was fun. Don't get it twisted for one second. Yeah, we had a lot of fun. And this year I was like, I kind of don't want to leave the country other than Mexico this summer because last summer I feel like I was gone so long and

Um, you know, and like when you're gone like that, it kind of makes you feel like, you know, you're like, oh man, like I'm missing out on so many of these things. It, it, it makes, you know, this not look legitimate. It makes me feel like this. And, um, so I was like, I want to hang around the States this year. So,

That's why I into Mexico city. What's it like look like? Is it because a lot, I have never heard about Mexico city. Okay. And then, I mean, I just haven't, we obviously have to hear about Capri because I was laughing out loud at pages, you know, Tik TOK set she was making, but yeah,

I, okay. So when you fly to Mexico city, it's so sprawling, Craig, it's so sprawling the whole time that, you know, you're flying and you're like, Oh my God. Like, it's just like, it, it, it's, um, it's like a megalopolis is the term used to describe it. Like it is so many houses and so many, you know, developments that you're like, when does this end? It is like an expansive, um,

Is it like, this is my ignorant American thing. Like, does it look like America? No, no. It looks like Europe. I mean, Nick's laughing, but that's my real question. I'm like, I don't know how to picture this. Yeah. It looks like Europe. And like I said, there's a heavy Parisian influence in France.

the Roman Norte neighborhood. And I was like, okay, so what's a Mexican architecture look like? I don't even know if I saw it because it just really looked like Europe almost. And people that have been there are probably going to laugh at me. But that's true because the woman in our Airbnb, this amazing boutique hotel that we stayed at called La Belize,

which is eight rooms. And every single room is different, Craig. And every single room is like an apartment almost. And it's like, you know, really, really cool features and unique features in every single room. So if anyone wants to go to Mexico City, La Valise, V-A-L-I-S-E, was stunning. Stunning and affordable. And I don't know if you saw what I did with, you know, Rahad

with Rod One Nightmare, but the bed slides out onto the patio so that you can look up at the stars. It was really cool. And every room has a unique feature like that. So it's really cool. Okay, so then what was the food like? The food was bomb. I mean, I honestly went on a cocktail tour because the top 50 list just dropped, right? And it's this list that the top 50 restaurants, the top 50 cocktails,

cocktail bars in North America. And, you know, New York had 12 on the list and there's places in Miami and place here, but Mexico city had nine on the list and including the number one cocktail bar, according to this list, of course, called handshake speakeasy. And so I was very excited about that. And the food was bomb, man. The food was, the food was amazing.

What was your favorite dish? Like, did you, because like, we'll get there, but like, sorry, I don't want to skip to Italy, but was the menu very similar in all the places or were like, it's a good question. What were you ordering a lot of like spaghetti and clams, not spaghetti and clams, but.

Is it anything like what we think? There's definitely a lot of ceviche and fresh catch of the day. So surprisingly a heavier seafood influence than I thought that there'd be because, gosh, I'm going to sound dumb. Mexico's landlocked. Sorry, Mexico City is landlocked.

got my Nick's laughing he's like he's like I'm gonna fact check you on this I'm looking I was actually looking it up right now because I have no idea where it is in relation to yeah I think it was in the middle of the country yes yes I'm pretty sure that no oh okay an interesting thing about it yes okay an interesting thing is that it's built on top of a lake and its elevation is higher than Denver it is in the middle it's like 7300 feet now that's silly that sounds silly

50, 5,100 is Denver and 5,300 is Mexico city. 7,300 is like Aspen or Vail. Beautiful. It, it really is. And, um, you know, listeners, I know that you didn't expect to get a full rundown of Mexico city, but, um, no, I mean, I, I like it. Cause okay. Here's the obvious. It's like an affordable trip too. It's super affordable. Was it scary? Good question, Craig.

My father asked me this as well. Linger it like no matter that's just, it's going to be, it's a lingering question in this day and age. Like you never know. I'm sure that it could be, you know, I'm sure that it could be if you went to like a wrong area. We weren't in any of those areas and I wasn't walking around, you know, late night.

So my answer is no, my answer is no. And I'm not, yeah, it was completely, you know, great the whole time. There, there was no point to actually in the first day that we got there, man, we were walking to this cocktail bar because we landed at like six and I got us a reservation at like seven 30 and

And I'm like, okay, well, GPS tells us to go this way. And I'm going down. And of course it's like the most unlit road. And like, this guy was coming at us on, on like a bike. And I was looking, I was like, oh shit. Um,

I was like, just keep walking. And it was like an Uber Eats driver. And I was like, Austin, you wimp. My baseline for is it scary is is it scarier than New York City or more dangerous? And like, that's actually a huge thing.

bar like you like New York City Chicago any of our major cities are just as dangerous as a regular city somewhere else so like if it was a regular city that's fine but you know sometimes you go places and like you know I've been placed in South America where I was like I should not fucking be here

Yeah, I've also done that. I did that one time in Cuba with Madison and she was not happy with me. I took her to a sketchy little area and I really didn't notice, but he was bringing me through this because I was trying to buy some Cubans and he was bringing me in this back alley. And then I looked down and I was like, okay,

the floor of this place is all dirt. And then I looked at Madison and she had like, you know, tears in her eyes and I was like, oh my God. Okay. Okay. I didn't realize like we, like we have to get out of here and nobody left. And she was like, don't you do that to me? I was like, oh my God, I'm so sorry. I just didn't even realize. And then, you know, later thinking about it, I'm like, what were you thinking? Austin, you followed this guy through a labyrinth of like dirt floors. But, um, did you dance or like, how was like the nightlife?

I didn't seek out nightlife like that. I did most of my entertainment during the day. I mean, I've come to find out, Craig, that I'm like a 12 to like 10 p.m. kind of guy. I like to shut it down at like around 10. So like a dinner that extends a little later and then you call it from there. So there was no dancing to be had. But I'm sure...

that actually I know for a fact that they have clubs there that are open until like, you know, 6 a.m. We're on the same page there. There's nothing better than a... I actually surprised Paige the one day because I was like, we went to a... You know how they have different seatings for lunches in places like that? Like St. Barts and... When we were in Central Place, so you do this like...

fun party for three hours at lunch. And then you're like, all right, like I don't want to go out tonight, but I'm not ready to stop. And so you're like, why don't we go over to like our friends like Villa at the time and

And I surprised her because it was like, you know, dinner had ended. It was like 10 o'clock and we easily could have like gotten another round of drinks or whatever. And I showed her my phone and it was an Uber and she's like, no fucking way. And I was like, look, I'm learning. Like all I wanted was a few extra hours after lunch. But it was tough, but it was the right call. But anyway, yeah. So we, I'll tell you about Tantra pay. We, we flew in to Nice, uh,

I didn't realize that blades were so popular there. It was an interesting topic with helicopters now. Because we were around a lot of wealthy people at this wedding and a lot of them don't get on helicopters because they know so many people who have... Because they're sketchy? Passed away. Yeah. Yeah. So like what's...

So the blade would have only saved us an hour. Like the ride to Saint-Tropez was an hour and a half and we had like a comfortable, you know, like limo van. What's like the time limit for you to get on a helicopter? Like if it saves you three hours. See, I don't even know, Craig, because for me, I'm like, ooh, you know, helicopter. Fuck yeah. Let's jump on that. And it's come to my attention more and more that helicopters are

Pretty sketchy. I remember that Patricia recently was going to jump on a helicopter or Whitney had proposed like, Hey, let's take a helicopter here to cut off like an hour and a half or something. And she was like, I will not ride in a like two, three seater helicopter. She was like, it has to be like, like, like an eight seater, you know, helicopter.

And in my mind, I was like, that's bougie, but it's like, it's safe, right? Like the other helicopters seem, I don't know. It seems super sketchy now. So, I mean, I, I would love, I would love to, to,

If I'm being bougie and when I go to the Hamptons here in August, like I would certainly get a blade from JFK to the Hamptons. Well, here's the alternative argument when we were over there was, Craig, it was just as dangerous driving on that road with these European drivers or any road as getting on that helicopter, which I totally agree.

understand. And so I would have done it on the way back if it saved us two hours, because it was the same price. That was the kicker. It was the same price. How much time did it cut off? Just an hour. And we hadn't like, I had never done it before. So I didn't want to get us lost going to the airport. We didn't have to wake up early. It was an easy travel day. You just nailed it on the head though.

If I go to the Hamptons this summer and it's going to be a three and a half to four hour drive or a 25 minute helicopter ride, like I'm getting right. Right. Correct. No, no. Fucking hilarious. Would it be if you like went to go film for summer house and you like landed in their backyard on a fricking helicopter wearing like a three piece suit or actually man, just, you know what?

Wearing a bathing suit like, hey, guys, I'm here. Jump out into the pool. Dude, we saw so many people, so many helicopters coming in and out of yachts. And I was like, that's the dream. Someone, when I got back, was like, yeah, but would you really want that much money? Doesn't it change you? I was like, yeah, I would because then you can hang out with –

You can like rent a villa or rent a boat where your whole family and your closest friends can all come and hang out. Like that's the dream is to always be able to like have a place where you can all be together. Yeah. I feel like, like you and I have both, both met some people that have that sort of money and all that it does is, is this make you cling on to your inner circle more and more and that's what it becomes. And that sounds awesome to me.

But this took a very bougie turn, and we didn't mean it for that. But it's just funny. The helicopter thing is interesting because convenience over...

you know, safety, but I don't even know what I'm talking about. I do have an uncle that flew for Delta. He was a captain for Delta and he was a Naval pilot and he will not get on a helicopter. So that kind of messes with my parents heads. But again, if it's three hours of traffic or a 20 minute helicopter ride, I'm getting on the helicopter. I am too. I am too. Okay. Okay. So my answer is three hours. Yeah. Or two.

Yeah. Okay, if I'm in two and a half. It's also fun. 45 minutes. I'm jumping on a helicopter to save me a 45-minute drive. If I could go from here to Kiowa on a copter, I would. And this is assuming the price is the same because actually they're very similar if you rent a...

If you get a driver or a helicopter. So we, I, when we got done filming, I met and we went to Nashville to open the store. Then I met Paige and her family in Capri. They have found a place that they absolutely love there. Austin got to visit us last year. He was going to come this year, but he went to Mexico city, which speaking of, you know, Gary and I, you know, Paige's brother were talking about,

We're DMing and keeping in touch the whole time. He was concerned, Craig, which you'll find funny. He was concerned that I didn't come. He was like, are you and Craig in some sort of fight that I don't know about? Is that why you didn't come? Because fuck that. I just started laughing. I just started laughing. I was like, dude, it just actually didn't line up. No, we missed you. But they...

So they found this place that they love and it's, I'll tell people, cause some people have started to ask me and now that was my second time there. And I really liked it. Cause like page would be recording our podcast and I would like go walk around by myself. Like I'm comfortable enough there that like, I know, I mean, it's not that big of a place, but I was like, and they remember you there. It's, it's neat. It's like a little small town, but people would ask, is it too commercialized to visit? I guess there's kind of,

a reputation of it being a little commercialized. The thing about that is that's only if you're going in during the day and not staying in Capri because the shuttles come in in the morning and then they leave at like five. So if you're there in the morning or after the shuttles, you really just have the place to yourself. And it's a really cool like locals feel. So I would say, I don't know where that thumbs up just came on my video, but was that you or Nick? Did you see that?

a big thumbs up just popped up on my window whenever you thumbs up I didn't thumbs up though oh I anyway so Capri is awesome and Paige and her mom plan out this it's we basically eat the whole time we do lunches and dinners and the food is phenomenal and that's the main reason I want to take my parents as my mom loves Italian food and she's never had where is Capri like like what what's it off of

Like Amalfi. Yeah. So it's across from Amalfi. Yeah, so you would fly into Naples, which is southern Italy, and then you take a boat to Capri. But it's the Amalfi Coast. All the places that Austin's been, which is like... Positano, Sorrento, Amalfi, and all those towns across. And what you do is, yeah, you take a ferry...

Well, if you're in those towns, you went right across, which apparently Shep did too, man. He was in Sorrento like a week or two after you, Craig, and then he said that he took a ferry across to Capri. Oh, I'll tell you about Shep's journey after this break. We'll be right back.

I would like to talk to you about one of our sponsors, Timeline Nutrition, and one product in particular, MitoPure. MitoPure is one of the first products to offer a precise dose of urolithin A to help upgrade your mitochondrial function, help increase cellular energy, and help improve muscle strength and endurance. I've started taking it recently and have started to tell that there is definitely when I work out or I'm active. But MitoPure does more than just help with my muscle health.

it can help with health stand as well. I want to be one of those granddads one day that you see in the video of him swinging his grandkid around. I want to rely on myself for as long as I possibly can.

One way to think of MitoPure is that they are in your cells, chomping up the damaged mitochondria that makes you feel old and tired and helping to recycle it into new healthy ones. Mitochondria, our cell's power generators, are one of the key influences in how we age. However, as the years pass, mitochondrial efficiency naturally declines, representing a large gap in the quality of life we expect in our later years and the one we experience.

Taking two soft gels a day for two months and you could see significant improvements in your cellular energy, muscle strength, and endurance. After four months of taking Mito Pure, you might feel yourself getting stronger, recovering faster after a workout, and experiencing less inflammation, all part of your healthier aging routine, which is honestly amazing.

I'm joined with Austin Kroll, Nick Norris. We are done filming season 10 and we are allowed to podcast again. Um,

So Shep was asking me recommendations because we've, I mean, Paige's family has done Capri, you know, very well. And so I told him and he found, he went in a different direction, but he found there's this place at the hotel that we stay at where like all these, you gather and you have happy hour in front and like people watch. And I was already thinking when I was at the hotel, I was like, Shep wouldn't,

he would love this because he would talk to every single person around you. And you know, the tables are so close that you're touching each other. So when he said he was going there by himself, I was like, go have a drink. What's the place called? At the Christie Sada, like right in front. And he, he loved it. You know, he met, you know, talk to people and posted all about it on his stories and went and watched soccer in the square. And, um,

He went to one of the restaurants we recommended, though, and loved it. The thing is that the food is incredible. So I want to take my mom over there to try stuff. But I don't know if it's wrong to say the menu is very similar at every place that you go. So like after, you know, a week of eating the stuff, I'm not saying that it ever gets old because it really does taste really good. But I was excited to then go to France to try to switch up the food a little bit.

What's the redundancy, Craig? Is it pasta? Is it prosciutto and watermelon? I was on a huge cantaloupe. I was on a huge pasta kick this year because I don't really eat a lot of pasta here, and I didn't last year, and I fell in love with it, man. I ordered it every single meal. And the funny thing is too is that you were eating pasta for –

you know every night or whatever and you probably lost weight by you know being over there yeah probably you probably did you know you ate a whole bunch of pasta but because you were like in europe for three weeks you probably came back lighter than before you went yeah it's so much cleaner and then when you get back here it takes a while to adjust funny thing about the preservatives we ordered mcdonald's and santa pay on uber eats because page really wanted it

It came late because it was like delivered on a bicycle or something. So we had to go to an event and we were like, just put it in our room for us. We'll come back. It was in our room for like six hours in the States. We would have still eaten that McDonald's because I don't think it goes bad. But over there, we didn't touch it because they don't have all of those like real preservatives to actually keep your food good longer. But we did order it another night and it was phenomenal.

It was so good because I think it's what McDonald's used to be. Like it was a classic. It was like if someone made you a cheeseburger, you know, like at their house, like it was a,

it was actually really good and now we didn't get any cheeseburger from mcdonald's that's all wait um was this in capri you said or no this was a tantrum so capri i actually was looking for red sauce um but you really only got that with the ravioli but i mean it's all so so good so i ate a lot of neurano which is um the eggplant pasta but it's a lot of like butter sauces and like

It's white sauces. I don't know. It's like Parmesan. It's like really simple stuff, but it was good. I mean, it was phenomenal. A lot of cheese, a lot of meats. You should take – yeah. You should actually take your mother because –

You know, speaking of speaking of that, I said that about taking my dad to Pebble Beach, you know, forever because I played there once and I was like, I've got to come back and bring my dad. And then, you know, five years later this year, it happened. And and.

to like see the joy on his face and everything was just completely priceless. So I mean, I don't think that anyone wouldn't like going to Capri. So it's not like, you know, it's a journey with a nine and a half hour flight to Naples. You can fly in a room too, but then you have a three hour drive. Right. Right. It is a journey. Oh my gosh. Yeah. It is a journey. And speaking of been winding roads, it's like, it's like,

you know, from Amalfi to Positano is like, as the crow flies, you, you could get there in like, you know, 30 minutes. But when you have to drive on that two lane winding road, it'll take you like three and a half hours. It's not even two lanes. It's about a lane and a half. Yeah, exactly. It's, it's,

wild but i i got some shoes and a bunch of clothes like i which i didn't do last time like i went to the affordable stores but i got it sucks too because i was like this is all i would have worn during filming if i had it i was like you got that pair of sunglasses last year when i was there you you rocked those still i can't find them oh really it was a big deal on the trip

I couldn't find him over there. I bought a pair of Pershalls there and I lost him as well. So I got some clothes, a lot of terry cloth, um,

A lot of linen. And then we got to do two boat days, actually, because her parents got sick on the one. But it was a whole thing. But there's a Conca de Sorna, Sorno or whatever. You can only get there by boat, this restaurant. It's one of my favorite places in the world. And Derek Jeter sat next to us and her whole family is like Yankee fans. So it was like Derek Jeter and his old teammates, which I can't believe I'm forgetting his catcher's name.

who is the catcher on the Yankees is it the pledge maybe God man people that are listening like no pudges a Red Sox guy and if he has I'm sorry sorry to all Yankees fans or to both Sox fans if I Yankees catchers win cheater play Jorge Posada yes yes Jorge yes I have to look up

So they sat next to us and they like brought out, you know, the saxophone and did this like whole show. And then Gypsy Kings, which is like a famous band over there, were there and they wanted to sing to like the American baseball player. And so like they were singing and like we didn't like talk to him, but we're all just laughing, you know, like it was like it was a it was a funny. That was our celeb sighting. There was a really famous soccer player at our hotel.

he just don't know who it was i'm so stupid uh he's dutch he plays for man you got long blonde hair he plays for man you or man city man city see i'm so bad with sports yeah he's not dutch you're thinking of you know he has like a ponytail too he's a white guy yeah or oh yeah erlin i mean erlin was there yeah and then the guy from lost sawyer

remember the guy that played sawyer on lost he was also in yellowstone i didn't watch lost really i know okay we'll look at the reaction a lot look up um james oh that guy the one who he throws the rattlesnake at he's the one that's fishing in the river yeah and he throws the cooler with the rattlesnake in it adam what's his name i'm so mad at josh you'll recognize him when he pops up he's been in a ton of stuff yeah okay

Well, Google it, Austin. Yeah, I did. I see him. Oh, you don't recognize him? Not really. He kind of looks like... Look, he's a very handsome guy, but he kind of has like a Chris Pine look, and Chris Pine does it better. No offense. He's a very handsome guy. So then we went to... So we had a wonderful trip with our parents, and then we went to Saint-Tropez for her friend's wedding. And man, what a like...

inspirational or motivational group of people to be around we don't have that we like very similar people as to us and like your friend group and stuff but like the New York City business world is I didn't realize how unlike it is anywhere else like when you're dealing with like

like starting companies, selling companies. Like there's a, like a hunger there, which was really neat to talk to some people that are our age and have done, uh, very well for themselves. And then like Alex Earl was there with Braxton, her boyfriend, they were super nice at this wedding. Yeah. It was a, it was a five day, uh,

So like there was a white party, there was a beach party, which we thought was going to be like, so you had to have outfits for everything. Like Paige was like, you better have your outfits ready. And I did. Like the brands that sell only five things a year and you're like, who has that stuff? It was all at this wedding. Like, yeah.

like the it was it was incredible there's just like an underground there's like a whole other group of people that were not even like aware that like exists that they live this way yeah and they were so nice and they just want everyone to have a good time and you know it was a lot of class in San

Was Ian there, dude? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I knew. I was like, I have to run into someone that I know here. There's like 300 freaking people here. Right. One of our buddies that went on our 4th of July golf trip last year was there because the groom was a football player. Okay.

And so like Jared Goff was there and I didn't realize it was him. I just know him as Jared. Because he kind of looks like an average guy, right? I'm so stupid. He's tall, right? But Craig, dude, I did the same thing to Eli Manning when I met him in the Hamptons. I swear to you. And I'm a football fan. You know, I like, I know my shit. And I was talking to Eli Manning. Who's won two fucking Superbowls. And,

I was like, Hey man, I'm Austin. And then as soon as he went to, you know, fucking introduce himself to me, I was like, yes, you are. That's exactly who you are. I'm an idiot. Got it. Oh, that's funny. Yeah. And Matt James from the bachelor was phenomenal dude. Just a phenomenal guy. And he loves to hear that. Obviously. I'd love to hear that. Yeah. And Rachel, his partner is, they are one of my favorite couples now. Oh, cool. He just, he,

They let each other do their thing. Like he's just so like, don't you like those people? I like those people who know who they're dating. They like know who like each other is. And so they let them be them. They're like, I, I know who I'm dating, you know, and if he wants to go and be crazy, then fine. You guys are bunny and just bounces around like very bubbly. And that's awesome.

Then like Chainsmokers were there, you know, they played a little bit. Oh, really? Oh, they were, they didn't like, they didn't do their stuff. They played like they jumped on the board, you know, but there were some other like famous DJs playing and. Craig, did, did this put you on notice kind of to be like, wait, maybe I want to get married like this.

Over there? No. Well, just like, it doesn't have to have been over there, but, but, but it could be like a five day, you know, fucking celebration of like, you know, life with like. Yeah. I mean, there was that if anyone, like they did it so right and brought together such an awesome group of people from all over the world that you're like, it sounds like a Michael Rubin party. Yeah. It was, it was that for like a week, you know, the beach party we thought was a beach party, but it wasn't. It was beach club party.

Like it was like Craig, Craig shows up with like a backwards hat, like like his tank top. And they're like, I at least had a linen shirt on. But like it was it was the type of group where like everyone was excited to talk to each other. And it was like there was no like it was just.

It was fun, but yeah, I mean. - So everyone was like open and friendly and no one was like, who's that over there? Or like, what are they doing here? It was like, hey, I'm so-and-so come and join us. - Also one of my favorite people there owns a restaurant down the street from us in New York City that's like on the top 20 list and doing phenomenal. And then I told him our story and he was like, how the fuck did you let that happen?

It's down the street from us. I think we're phenomenal. It's called a sipping guzzle. We'll go there. He went to Japan. His favorite place is Japan. And so he did a Japanese cocktail bar. Oh, cool. Yeah. You'll, you'll. Hell yeah. Okay. Um, and I'm just making fun of our, of our stuff just hasn't taken off that well, but it's a good restaurant. It's just, um, you know, yeah, we're excited for our bar down here. Um,

But yeah, we are very excited for our bar down here. Yeah. That's going to be coming up, right? Yeah. Craig and I actually have a dinner for our bar, by the way, tomorrow night. And I'm sure that we're going to like, we're going to hear a lot more details about progress. Well, I'll wrap up my trip by saying shout out to Wilton and Alexa. Congratulations on your marriage and for having me. It was actually my first Jewish wedding.

my first Jewish wedding, I was a huge fan of it. I turned to Paige and I said, this is what I want to do. And she said, Craig, we can't have a Jewish wedding. And I said, but I want to, um, it was the ceremony was so, it just had a point like everything that they did, uh, for people that know Jewish ceremonies, I was told it was a shorter one. Um,

So I just kind of really thought it was a beautiful thing that they did. So thanks to them, all their families were great. Oh, Caleb was there from Barstool, the Sunday interview guy. He was super nice, too. I was like, hey, man, I'm friends with a lot of your coworkers. There were some other cool people there. But anyway, then we flew to...

We didn't have any French food the entire time we were in France, which drove me insane. The one dinner was like Italian. The one dinner was Thai. The other dinner was like American. Not for the wedding purposes. The wedding was a lot of Persian food, which was good. But I didn't have any like coca bean, beef bourguignon, anything.

no french onion soup well craig uh as they say we're all playing the world's tiniest violin for you pal we're all playing yeah i know i didn't always but then okay so how long can you be gone until you start to get stressed because like i didn't want to bring it up to paige because i didn't want to sound like ungrateful at all but there is a a time like

where you're gone so long that you start to get a little, I at least get a little. - Yeah, man. That's what I was saying about last summer because I went on this like three week long thing

And then I came back and I was like, okay, that, that was fun. But like, um, and then my family vacation, because they missed the trip, they were like, well, let's do it, you know, two weeks later. So I landed Craig. So imagine you going back to Europe now for 10 days. And that is what I did. And that's what I did. And I was freaking out. I was freaking out because I was like,

I was like, "Sure." On paper and from the outside, it looks awesome. I was in Europe for 31 days last year, but I was stressed as hell. I was like, "I have things to do here." And like, "Oh my God, if I'm not here, then that world does not go around." Yeah. So I was stressed and

When I went back to Europe for that 10-day trip where I went to Provence and things, I was like, this is too much. This is too much. I'm gone for too long.

Well, that's like my makeup artist at our shoot yesterday was like, you have any fun trips coming up? And I was like, why would you like? Yeah. You're like, I hope not. You're like, I've done it. I had a lot of Jerry's like, oh, good for Craig to be back. He's been gone for nine weeks. Exactly. Exactly. It was a fun family vacation tied in with a wedding. Like now I'm here. I'm ready to do whatever you need me to do. I know. Except today.

Then Amanda was like, okay. I was like, all right, I'm going to be in Nashville the second half of July. And she's like, what about August? And I was like, so I've got my brother's bachelor party. I've got one of my best friend's bachelor parties. I've got the Hope for the Warriors golf tournament. I was like, looks like August, I'm actually not going to be here.

Yeah. And this is why I've been so excited that, that I am in the States all summer, you know, I'm like popping here and, and going to the home run Derby this weekend. And, and it's just great because it's like, you know, like that I'm going to fly home like on Monday or home run Derby on Monday. So on Tuesday and Thursday,

Yeah, but being gone, yeah, it makes you feel like, you're like, ah, I have shit that I should be doing right now. We're growing up and we have stuff to do, which is good. How's, what's...

What's the home run derby deal? Or not deal, but what are you guys doing for it? Because Shep called me today and was like, yeah, that thing I texted you and Austin about we're going to. I just can't make the dates and it worked for me. But tell everyone what you're doing. Yeah. So Travis Matthew, shout out to Travis Matthew. Great golf brand. I'm sure a lot of your husbands and boyfriends or you even wear it.

They reached out to Shep, I guess. And then they invited him to the All-Star Weekend festivities. The All-Star Games on Tuesday, the Home Run Derby's on Monday of next week. And so Shep texted me or us and told us about it. And I was like, okay, cool. Why are you telling me about this if you're not going to tell me to come? And then a couple of days later, I got the email from Shep and Travis Matthew being like, yeah, we'd love to have you come.

So, yeah, I'm going to be in Austin on Friday, Saturday for an impromptu Austin trip because I just looked at my calendar like a month ago. I was like, I have this weekend open and I don't just like want to be idle in Charleston. So can I go to Austin? And then it's just kind of perfect because I'm just going to fly from Austin to Dallas on Sunday, meet up with Shep and then probably grab dinner or something. And then Monday's a home run derby. So I'm pretty excited about it. Like a home run derby. I feel like.

I'm thinking back to like Mark McGuire versus, you know, Griffey or something. And that was like a long time ago. Ever since then, I've always wanted to go. So I'm going to go and eat some glizzies and watch some bombs be hit. Pretty excited about it, actually. It will be. Yeah, that'll be like as American as it gets. And I'm fucking stoked for it. All right. Am I allowed to ask? You can do whatever you want, Craig.

I do think using the word glizzy. God, we're back one episode and Craig can't help himself. Did you just get the ick from me saying glizzy? Yeah, that one is like, I didn't know that that was like a word for a hot dog. Oh. Yeah. Oh. Like I associate it with Call Her Daddy. Like didn't they do like. I don't know.

I was just out at my friend's house all weekend. It's oral text when you say that. That's what I think. Did you say oral or squirrel? Oral. I should just say blood. It reminds me of...

It reminds me of a penis. This is actually a pretty good poll, Nick. And I think that you should put it up because if you don't, then I will on Monday when I'm at the Home Run Derby and I'll be like, should males use the word glissies? Because I was with women all weekend, right? I was with my best girlfriend from college and my sister and my girlfriend and we – and my sister –

was saying glissies a lot dude i don't i think it's a word for a hot dog that came from

a blow job i don't know i don't because i think that a lot of golf websites that i follow are like a glizzy at the turn i yeah look i see it everywhere too i just haven't committed to it yet so i wonder if it's something totally totally fair enough because i am now curious you just made me super self-conscious about using the word and i even thought about using the slang for a glock well that's cool but i don't know

I'm going to start saying it for my street cred. Yeah, it's like an extended mag and a Glock is what it is. Yeah, that's not what it is. That's what it comes from. The street slang has lost that. It is now a hot dog. It is now officially referred to. I don't think that a gangster out there

I'd be like, yo man, hand him my glizzy. And what if his boy was like, do you want relish with that glizzy? He's like, no fool, my glock. Oh, God. Sorry about that. Well, wait, man. Can we give like a, can we give a huge- I'm just reading these comments of people talking about glizzies. Where?

Just on Reddit. Oh, geez. It's very Reddit. Oh, great. I just gave a whole bunch of people the ick because I used the word glizzy. Well, you might not have. You just gave me the ick. So I don't know if I'm alone or – I'm going to post a picture from the home run derby and just be like, do you think that I should – wait, it's not a nine run game. The like nine hot dog and nine beer challenge.

Sounds so American and unhealthy. It's ridiculous. Oh, let's add a challenge to the challenges that we haven't done. We have done one challenge on this show, by the way. What is the challenge, Nick? What have we done? The one that we have to do is we have to do the beer run. There's no reason for us not to.

It's super hot out and, you know, maybe let's wait till, you know, January. I mean, it is funny. It is funny. And I would love to see what our times are. And, yeah,

Yeah. Okay. Well, actually, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. I would like to talk to you about one of our sponsors, Timeline Nutrition, and one product in particular, MitoPure. MitoPure is one of the first products to offer a precise dose of urolithin A to help upgrade your mitochondrial function, help increase cellular energy, and help improve muscle strength and endurance. I've started taking it recently and have started to tell that there is definitely when I work out or I'm active.

but might appear does more than just help with my muscles. It can help with health span as well. I want to be one of those granddads one day that you see in the video of him swinging his grandkid around. I want to rely on myself for as long as I possibly can.

One way to think of MitoPure is that they are in your cells, chomping up the damaged mitochondria that makes you feel old and tired and helping to recycle it into new healthy ones.

Get started with Greenlight today and get your first month free at greenlight.com slash pod. This is not trading advice, but I would like to inform you at the end, I am so overexposed on Bitcoin and NVIDIA at the moment that we're really hoping if you guys want to root for them to go up, it'd be great.

I think they're both going to go up. But what have you been trading recently, Nick? Pokemon cards. Some medical stocks and some solar companies that have done well the past couple days. See, boys. Nick and I actually have a stock. I just give my money to someone else. Nick and I are trading. I didn't buy real. I bought shares and then I switched over to options with the one that you told me. But anyway, this isn't a trading podcast. No.

This isn't where I parked my car, Craig. Well, wait, we must give a shout out to a previous guest on our podcast, Mr. Keegan Bradley, for being named captain of the United States Ryder Cup team. Wait, we're good. Yeah. Woo!

- That's right. - Keegan is the captain of the Ryder Cup team. That's so awesome. - And if y'all aren't familiar with this in a nutshell, other than Craig and I having him as a guest on our podcast and him just being one of our buddies in general,

um one of the coolest guys out there too because when he's playing golf you know man some guys like are like laser you know focused in and they're like you know i mean he always finds me in the crowd and comes up and he's like a high five and then he keeps on walking i'm like see was that that hard you know to every other golfer that i you know but i understand it's your job he did no he did uh but he's like the coolest he's like the first golf tournament i took page two like she had no idea what to expect and we went i was like hey i want to go watch like

you know, maybe say hi to our buddy Keegan, but like, you know, I wasn't planning on like disturbing him and he saw us. And after he, like he waved, then he stepped up and hit off the tee. And after his tee shot, he like came down and said hi to page and introduced himself and,

And like, dap me up. And she was like, wait, this is kind of awesome. Like golf's cool. And I was like, you just made a huge impression on her. She's like, I get to dress up and like drink and just walk around the course. Like this is fun. Yeah. Um, and I remember, yeah, so it's just really cool. Um, could not be happy or couldn't be happening to a better guy. And he's going to put together a winning team instead of like not a winning team instead of like only picking, uh,

Instead of like only like choosing your boys. Yeah. So last year, Keegan got snubbed from the Ryder Cup team in favor of basically one of the captain's, you know, buddies. He chose one of his buddies over Keegan who was playing better than him that year. And it was all filmed on Netflix. And like, what a gut punch because they filmed the captain and

not even gonna say his name calling everybody and being like congrats dude you're on the team and the only person that he called who did not make the team was Keegan and Keegan's like wife was there and his kid was there and you just saw like his heart sink and he's like yeah what a comeback story though he didn't make the team and now he's the captain and now the next Ryder Cup he is the captain

it's it's unbelievable it's unbelievable so it's really congratulations to our buddy oh yeah well congrats keegan he'll probably be back on here again soon just a good guy all around once like his head comes above water i mean i think the guy's been all over the place doing all the press and you know traveling with the rider cup here there and everywhere because next year black phil wait what

Next year, the Ryder Cup 2025 is in Bethpage Black. So it's an American soil. He grew up playing around there. We should know this. He's from Vermont. Yeah, but he has a lot of history at that golf course. Yes, absolutely. Phil said some really nice words about him. And I was laughing. I was like, I wonder if Phil's trying to get on the team or if he's just being honest. He was like, I was surprised at first, but the more I thought about it, I was like,

What a great pick. But like some people want to be an assistant. If Keegan made him one of his coaches.

Well, you can't tell. I would love that. You can't tell what's a meme or not anymore. But right before hopping on, someone was like, Michael Jordan's being considered for a vice or assistant captain of the team. And I was like, that would be cool. But I don't know. I mean, they're buddies. Yeah. So Keegan is sponsored by Jordan. So he's always wearing like the freshest Jordans on the course. And so I was thinking that I was like, wonder if Jordan brand is going to make the whole man, like the whole USA team.

fresh ass Jordan. But then again, no, it's a firework because I'm looking at the smoke. People are just randomly. Yeah. Austin, grab your glizzy. Yeah. Grab your hot dog pack, you wiener.

Damn, dude, that was loud. But I guess that the whole team couldn't wear Jordans, could they? Because everyone has their own contracts with all their shoes. No, it's like the Olympics. They all wear whatever the Olympic attire is. That was that whole thing that Jordan did when he put the American flag over the Reebok load. Well, then don't be surprised if the Americans have the dopest shoes you've ever seen because that would be such a miss if Jordan brand did not make

some sick ass golf shoes for the whole team to wear and I'm sure that they will that that'll be sick and and Craig and I'll be like hey Keegan why don't you uh why don't you grab a couple extra pairs for your boys uh I actually have a connect one of my best girlfriends from college posted about it and I messaged her I was like how awesome is it I was like Keegan's a buddy and she's like no way I'll be spending a lot of time with him over the next year and I was like why

And she was like, I run X, Y, and Z for the team. And I was like, oh, they always have the coolest shit. And she's like, I will grab you some this year. And I was like, okay.

But me and you will be there. I mean, I'm for sure going. I'm for sure going. I heard that the Ryder Cup is kind of like a mess to go to because there's like so many different things happening. But I don't care. I mean, I'm going because if Keegs brings home the trophy, then, you know, name cemented in lore. I'll be like, I'm used to live tournaments out here. You're like, hey, man, where's the DJ at?

Where's the party hole, y'all? Yeah, I'm a live guy, and I don't know why I changed my voice for that. I know, I know. But I actually went to live in Nashville, and I was on the party hole, and I was gambling the whole time, I mean, closest to pin, and it was a rowdy time. Look, I got a thumbs up again, but this time I did accidentally do it. What do you mean you were gambling?

like a thing. So the announcer announces whose ball is closest to pin, you know? So, you know, there wasn't like an official, like, you know,

bookie there, but there were a bunch of us in the booth and everyone was throwing down a $100 bill. And yeah, that's what they do. So when everyone hits, the announcer's like, and 18.6 inches away from the pin or 20 feet away. And yeah, so he announces so that everyone can gamble on closest to pin on the party hall. Yeah. I mean, whatever your feelings are towards it, it's a lot of fun and you should experience it.

I think they've only got two in America, the championships in Chicago. And there's a ton of events in America, but that makes sense. I'm saying that's left. Oh, so they did. They've probably done 10 events in America so far.

um they are in spain right now then they go to the uk well yeah because they got the open coming up yeah oh then they're in greenbrier in august chicago in september bowling brook and then the team championship is in dallas and i will i don't know maybe we'll go to one of these but anyway guys that's a little bit of what's been going on

In our lives, we've got a lot more to catch up on. We just wanted to pop in and tell you that we are excited to officially be back. I think a lot of you knew it had to do with filming, but I'm glad we could tell you now. And I'm going to just plug, we have panda hats at Sewing Down South now. I'm shocked it took you so long to get them. That was a production issue. That idea was...

So we finally have them. But yeah, check out the Panda hats. Austin, you want to give a little beer update?

Yeah, sure. Drop off, guys. Here is my update. My update, and I'm telling you first and foremost because I kind of had this whole rollout plan for it, but we have found a way to ship beer to 47 states. And so we will be rolling that out sooner than later. Yeah, well, yeah.

You know what? I bet that Hawaii isn't and Alaska and things like that. I wonder what the last one is. But Nick, I would venture to say that Virginia is one of them. Yes. And so we're very excited about that to be partnering with them. So for all those people who are like, hey, where's drop up in my local store? It's always been so sad that I haven't been able to, but I found a partner and I'm

And then be on the lookout for my peachy wheat. It's going to be like a 5% peach flavored wheat beer. And that'll also be available for delivery as well. So that's very good. I've had it. Yeah. Oh yeah. That's right. So that is my plug for drop off. Well, that's a big one. When does that start? We are in the middle of March.

you know, signing contracts and doing those things. So hopefully I don't want to put a timeline on it because I don't want to get people's hopes up. But it, you know, if it was up to me, it'd be, you know, next week, but hopefully maybe more like, you know, August and September for yeah. Oh, college football season. Oh. And I need you to put on the, what, what,

I'm going to an Alabama game this year with you, but everyone said I should go to a certain one. Is that Georgia? Georgia. It sounded like you were about to say Iron Bowl. Yeah, but that's not a thing, right? Okay. Yeah, that's the Iron Bowl. Yeah, of course it's a thing. That's the annual Alabama-Auburn.

It's the annual Alabama-Auburn matchup. That's Thanksgiving weekend, Craig. I don't know if you'll want to go to that. Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend. But the Georgia game is the end of September. Alabama-Georgia and Tuscaloosa is September 28th.

And I'm supposed to have, I do have a huge group of buddies going from college and we're going to stay in Birmingham, which is like 40 minutes away. And then we got space on the quad tailgate. I'm just not sure if I can go. Not sure if I can go, man. You know, I do want to tell you a, just a funny Bitcoin facts that I learned today. All of these governments are like seizing people's assets and like rating this, like, you know, like basically the more and more people

uh, like illegal stuff that they raid now of they're finding these hard drives with Bitcoin. And so like Germany basically confiscated like $5 billion of Bitcoin from this dude that they found on a hard drive. And so they've been selling it off cause they have to. So basically like Germany has been flooding the market with Bitcoin over the last like two weeks and they only have 1 billion left to sell. So,

Anyway, America sits on like $12 billion of seized Bitcoin. And I think there's only like 48 billion Bitcoin, $48 billion worth of Bitcoin out there. But a lot of these are being done through these like seizures. Random factoid. And that's your random factoid from Craig of the day. All right. Should we take us out here?

All right, besties. Well, it's been so much fun to hang out again, to be back with you. I hope that you enjoyed this episode, a big old catch up and we will hang out with you guys again next week.
