what's up besties and welcome to this week's episode of pillows and beer uh it seems that craig and i can't seem to sync up because today just me and nicholas and um i mean guys i i've been feeling so awful the past

Yeah, what happened? Yeah, it's been going on a full week now, Nick. And honestly, I felt it last Tuesday night. I just felt like a tingle. You know what I mean? When I was like, I'm going to wake up tomorrow and feel like doo-doo. So that's what happened, right? And I was like, all right, here we go. I mean, I know how to do this. I just dealt with it three weeks ago, Nick. And I was like, I'm going to wait it out, you know, because Charleston Food and Wine was this weekend, which got rained out, which is so, so sad.

But it was like the biggest blessing for me because I don't think that I could have been there. Like on Friday, I woke up. I was like, come on. You felt good, man, last night. But I woke up and felt like shit again. I was like, oh my God, I can't go to wine and food. So I didn't go on Friday. And Saturday got rained out. And I was like, Sunday, I'm going to gear up for Sunday. It's a huge day. And I woke up on Sunday. I was feeling bad again. But it got rained out anyways. So it...

Very strange. Anyone who's listening, who was in town or who went or who had tickets or who's like, what is he talking about? Charleston Food and Wine Festival happens every March and it is a huge, like, I think it's the biggest food and wine festival in the Southeast. I'm

I'm not committed to say on the East Coast, but like on the Southeast, it is a huge draw for Charleston. Estimate that it brings in like 30,000 plus people. Oh, damn. And it is, you know, music and booths that are set up for, you know, tasting bites of Charleston and drinks, of course. And so I had a tent there.

Initially, I bought a 25 by 25 kind of activation with Charleston Bloody Mary Mix. Because I don't know about you, Nick, when I enter a festival, whether it's a music festival or it's a food and wine festival, the first thing that I go on a search for is a Bloody Mary. And so what you do at these food and wine festivals is that.

they give you a cup at the door yeah when you get drinks you know it's like it's like three four ounce ports right you know you're not getting like a full yeah you're not getting hammered out there on the no well i mean that's that's not true you are getting hammered but but it's not gonna be right out the one you know bloody yes um and so me and my great friend ryan at charleston bloody mix

We're like, let's team up. And this was last Charleston Food and Wine at a particularly gorgeous Sunday of food and wine. And, you know, we were cheers in and like, man, what a great weekend. And look how beautiful and sunny and everyone's so happy and smiling and dancing. And and to think what like a year has done.

I have videos on my phone. So Taylor and I had a booth basically that were next to each other. And JT came by, the both of ours. And he took one of my beers and he was doing his little thing and posting videos and all this stuff. So I mean, tensions weren't high then.

Or maybe that's just what Sunday at Food & Wine does. Everyone's just happy because you're like, how could I not be happy? I'm surrounded by three awesome bites. There's some music playing. You're probably with a bunch of your friends and there's a bunch of booths that are serving up great alcohol. So Food & Wine got canceled. Very sad. Gosh, Nick. I went to

Yeah. I, I went to the doctor today. Right. Cause I finally was like, all right, that's it. Like I'm in vitamin C and Theraflu ain't, you know, like I'm sick of this. And so I just got like a bunch of blood work taken and stuff. I'm like, what is wrong with me? So I'm still kind of feeling it. Um, Craig, Craig, obviously, and, and you, Nick took, took the, uh, took, uh,

over on Thursday after I'd been gone for a week in Mexico. So yes, it's been it's been all over the place. But um, well, yeah, I mean, we didn't really get to talk about because we ended up getting sidetracked about other shit. How was Mexico? We didn't really even like bring we like sort of talked about it. But yeah, I made fun of you while you were gone. But I mean, look, look, man, the fun thing about like, you know, and you know, better than anyone, like, you know, we go to these live shows,

And, you know, fans, right? Like, all right, man, like, you know, Q and a time. And obviously, well, not, not just for this season, but for most seasons, you know, my heart, you know, my heart rate fucking elevates. And I'm like, what are these fans going to ask? Right. And sometimes the fans will get up and be like, Hey Austin, you know, big old fish fan here or like, you know, roll tide. And I'm like, okay, woo, you know, roll tide or yeah, man, go fish.

And those questions are always the most fun to me. And I understand though, even at the live shows, that's not everyone's cup of tea. So I try not to bore people with my Mexico experience too much. But I'm glad that you asked, Nick. I mean, I won't just talk about fish, but going to Mexico was something that I didn't think that I'd be able to do because I thought that we were going to be by then. So it was tentatively on my calendar, but I bought the package, the travel package to it last May.

And I was like, I'm going to go. So I was like, oh my God, I'm going. And I had that realization probably like a month prior to going. So that is when it really turned on for me. And I was like, yes, okay, I'm going to Mexico in a month. Right. And so what you do when you buy a package to go to Mexico to prevent a bunch of

fans, a bunch of Wookiees as normies like to call people who follow around, you know, bands like fish to, to prevent someone like me buying a room and letting eight of my friends crash there. You don't pay for the room you pay per person. Right. So, so, so each room comes with like a double bed. And if you want to buy like, or,

You obviously can buy like a king bedroom, right? For two people. But for two people, it's like 3,600 bucks a person. So I buy that package back in May. And this is before I meet the girl that I'm dating. And so I'm like, okay, this is a gamble. You know, the two buddies that I'm buying with, one is married and one has like a serious girlfriend. So like they have girls that are coming.

And when I bought the package, I was like, okay, okay, okay. I'm going to get a two queen room because if worse comes to worse, I'm going to make Shep or someone come with me, right? Shep will come to Mexico and dance it out and

blah, blah, blah. And so that is what I bought. And then I was like, okay, we're going. Now I got to ask someone to come. So yes, as I posted that reel and kind of launched the fact that I'm seeing someone. The soft launch.

I mean, I guess I wasn't really trying to do anything by it. I just really wanted to post a Mexico reel. But if besties are listening here and they know, they know that I have a lot of anxiety sometimes about posting. So they either come in flurries. Right.

Right. And I'll post like, you know, three and two weeks or like, you know, three in a week that I don't post again for a little while, which is so funny considering that I have that I have over 500 posted, you know, IGs. And I'm like, where did all those come from? And why was I so brave? I mean, yeah, Nick, it was just a lot of fun, man. It literally was just like.

I'm excited to go to Mexico and get some sun and to hang out with my best friends. Did you do anything else? Were you fishing the whole time? Yeah, no, no. So we made that mistake when we went back in 2020. So we went to the festival in 2020 and it was right before COVID. Like literally, yeah, right before COVID.

And we did not leave property. We were just a bunch of lizards. We would sleep until noon. We'd wake up and we'd go to the buffet and get on Lazy River and drink a whole bunch of all-you-can-drink icebergs.

which is beer with like a little bit of frozen margarita on top. So it gives it like an iceberg. Interesting. And then we'd go to the show and then we'd go to the after party and then we'd pass out and wake up and do it again. And this time I was like, let's get off property two or three times, please, because I don't just want to like, you know, marinate at the resort. So we rented a yacht for the very first day that we got there or the first full day that we got there. So

We had a big old fun boat and yacht day. Shout out to Manny and the crew in Mexico or in Cancun. I wish I had his card so I could shout him out. Manny and the crew were awesome. And so we did that. And then we went on Friday, Nick, we went to Señor Frogs because I

made us go because if our besties are out there listening, then they know that we like to go to places like send your frogs and, you know, out back from time to time, you know, it doesn't have to be all, you know, elevated things at all times. And I thought that beating Cancun it's, you know, comically like, I mean, spring break Oh five, you know, at all times, but,

So that's why I kind of made our group go there and it was exactly what you think it is. Like they're coming around with shots, they're motorboating you, they're making you motorboat your girlfriend or I mean, all while they put like a balloon animal on your head of like something dumb. And I don't know, I thought it was awesome. I had a great time. Yeah, so we got off property a couple of days and then

Obviously, fish each night. The girls, for those who are wondering, the girls did not make it. Well, my one buddy's wife is a fan, right? She's a fan of fish. And so she was in. And then my other buddy's girlfriend, I thought that her and Audrey were going to even one or two of the nights be like, all right, we're going to go get dinner. You boys have fun.

So Audrey missed one of the nights just full on. And then at set break left another night, which I'm not upset about at all. And she didn't complain about it, you know, whatsoever. And I,

I had no intention of being like, yeah, come on. Like I totally get it. Like you have to, you know, get it to get it. And, and I was not upset whatsoever. Like this was supposed to be like a fun trip to Mexico. Not like me forcing you to go and see a band that you don't really like for four straight nights. So it all was awesome. And then when it all was over, Nick, man, the, the,

The move, which I'm so glad that I did. And I'm so glad that I reached out to Jerry because Jerry got married down there. So Jerry got married in Mayakoba. I was Craig's date actually. And Jerry got me in touch with a resort there, an auberge resort, which is...

I mean, it might as well be like a Four Seasons type of class, right? Because that's what I wanted to do. I wanted to go from like a Wookiee filled, all inclusive to nice resort and just like dry out for three days. And people saw me post it on my Instagram. I didn't post much because I wanted to save it all for the reel. That was my very first reel that ever posted. So I was like pretty excited to do that.

And I did like a mezcal tasting, you know, while I was at this. I'm not a mezcal fan, I'll have to say. And I've had some high-end mezcal. Big mezcal fan now. I love tequila. I mean, not just now, by the way. Not just now. I've been on the mezcal train for like a year and a half. So like not long.

but I feel like I was with you, Nick. I was 100% with you. I was like, Mezcal is smoky. It's like the scotch that you look to me. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. And I get it. I totally get it. I was like, I don't like scotch. So that means I'm going to hate me and Mezcal. And then I tasted Mezcal a couple of years ago. I was like, yeah, no, I hate this. Then I had a smoky, which is

kind of like a redundant statement considering that mezcal is smoky, but a smoky mezcalita. It was like a spicy mezcal margarita. And I had that and like my brain just turned on. And so since then, if it's ever on a menu, I always order that. So then I kind of dived more into it and did a mezcal tasting. So anyways, went to this resort for three days.

Just to dry out a bit, just to get away from it all. It was very lax and chill and just lying on the beach. And we saw a couple's massage and things of that nature and then came back to civilization. And that was my Mexico trip. With that being said, we're going to take a quick commercial break. We'll be right back with a little bit more of Pillows and Beer.

I think that we want to buy the Oscars. Yeah, Nick. Yeah. Yeah. Let's talk about the Oscars. Cause I certainly watched it last night. All right. We'll see you in a second.

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 am your host this week, half of the dynamic duo or the fantastic trio, the

And of course I'm joined by Mr. Nick Norris. He seems to be our old faithful through all this. Um, we're missing Nick this week or Craig this week, but he texts us kind of last minute and he's like, Hey, you know, something just popped up. But you know, since I got us last week and you got me this week, it's like, I got you. Got you, Craig. He'll be back in the second half of the week. Yeah. Um, Oscars. Um, obviously, you know, like let's just, you know, rattle it off. Like, uh,

you mean John Cena naked, Ken. I love seeing last year's Oscar winners present in like that five person panel that they did. And so my boy Ken who won last year for everything, everywhere all at once. Yeah. And Goonies, yeah. Yep. And Brendan Fraser and

the lead from everything, everywhere, all at once. That was really cool to see them leading that charge and then kind of going down the line from like famous people who have obviously won Oscars. I mean, if you've won an Oscar, you're famous.

Okay. Well, let's just rip it out with Ken. Okay. I thought that that performance was – Yeah, by Ryan Gosling. I thought it was great. That was when I basically said – I was expecting Nick to say otherwise. No, no, no. That's when I said if I could be any actor in Hollywood, it would be Ryan Gosling right now.

i don't think anyone has more confidence than him that's a tough one to be i mean you know he's like generally loved you know by everyone what's that feel like that must be nice i know everybody says like leonardo uh robert down jr who won but i would i because of ironman but those guys are over no i mean considering that leo was just but man leo doesn't want to be that guy

you know leo doesn't want to be you know the face of you're not anymore yeah yeah yeah you know he's like a a you know reluctant hero you know i mean if anything proved that was when he just wants to date his 20 year old the super bowl when they panned him at the super bowl and you know he was like yeah whatever get away from me right um but gosling i genuinely like that song

I genuinely like the song and it cracks me up. And I'm not like, you know, tooting my own horn by any means.

uh but like i feel like when i listen to it or like you know when guys kind of listen to it like you can relate to it like a little bit you know for sure yes like like like and that's why it's so good and that's why it's so funny that you know gosling freaking delivers it the way that he does um but the beginning of it you know he's in the seat and all the other you know fans or fans but

but people in attendance are like, you know, trying to find him and they're like, you know, where is he? Yeah, man, where's he singing from? Was awesome. I've seen it like three times since. Billy Eilish was cracking up. Yes. Yes. She was great too. And it's one of those things that everyone loves.

Who? Billie Eilish. I thought she was great. Obviously way different. Another Barbie song. Yeah. Another Barbie song, for God's sakes. I think she's got her second Oscar, isn't it? I don't know, but I'll tell you whose second Oscar it was. It was Emma Stone's, for God's sakes. I have to admit, too, I've never heard of that movie. I watched it, and there...

I wasn't ready for what? I'm embarrassed. I wouldn't. It's on Hulu. Yes, because I went on a Hulu afterwards and it was right there. It popped up and it was like 2024 Oscar winner. And I was like, okay, I got to watch this preview right now. It's definitely kind of out there. Weird ass movie. Yeah, it is a weird. There's some weird sex. It looks like Dr. Frankenstein makes another.

you know, quote unquote monster kind of thing. It's interesting to say the least. I mean, I guess I haven't seen all the Oscar movies and nominations, so I guess I can't say it. She was good in it. I didn't really, when I watched it, I didn't think it was an Oscar worthy performance, but what do I, what do I know? I'm not on the committee. Haven't, haven't we talked about this on previous shows where I, I,

And Craig too. And I know Craig too. Because we'll text each other about some awful ass movies and be like, it was so good. And then we'll see something posted being like, and it got like a 15% on Rotten Tomatoes. We're like, what the hell, man? I'm a terrible critic. So speaking of critics, I mean, what did you think of Oppenheimer winning so much? Once again, dude, I didn't watch Oppenheimer.

i think it's highly overrated i wouldn't know but i'll tell you what uh what i'm a fan of is is is i'm a big fan of kilian murphy and a big fan of robert downey jr not a big fan of christopher nolan yeah i was surprised the christopher nolan thing you know i was like

Okay. Didn't he do like, I mean, Transformers and Batman and all that stuff. No, that's Michael Bay. He did. Michael Bay did Transformers. He did Batman. Yes. Yes. Christopher Nolan did Batman. Okay. I think his last great movie was interstellar to me. I'm not completely surprised. I don't know.

But since then, but Dunkirk wasn't great to me. I don't know. He does all these things where I don't want to get too nerdy, but where he doesn't want to use CGI or he wants to film on location to make it more historically accurate. But by doing that, he makes it less historic. When you watch Oppenheimer, you're going to be so underwhelmed by the gadget scene, by the whole nuclear scene. Okay. Like the A-bomb scene. It's like he blew up a can of gasoline. I think that's what he did. Okay. So I look, I mean, I,

I didn't even watch it, but I'm not shocked in the least that it won all. I'm not shocked either, but I don't think it stands the test of time. I think it'll be forgotten about in 10 years. Okay. That is a very hot take. It's very much like. That's a piping hot take considering it just like kicked ass in the Oscars as much as it did. What about this?

What about the announcement? I didn't realize. Okay. I was shocked. I actually paused it when Al Pacino fucking walked out. I paused it and I was like, oh my God. And like I had to Google because I was like, so just secondhand embarrassed that Al Pacino man just walked out. His tie was untied. It was sideways. He had that top button look that like you're supposed to save for like the aftershock.

after party, right? But like a tasteful kind of button down to make it look like, oh yeah, like I'm letting loose, but I still look great. No, he walked out there, he looked hammered. And so I paused it and I was like, oh no, no, no, no, no. Apparently he's sober because I Googled it. And I was like, is Al Pacino hammered? Like, I thought that it was going to be like, like a, like a fucking hashtag. You know, I thought that it was going to be trendy, which I'm

I did not find anything other than the fact that I found that. Was he about to have a baby or just had a baby? Other than the fact that, see, I don't know. But that is wild because he is an 80-year-old man. But yes, now that you just said that, I do remember that. And so I paused it. I Googled quick. And it said that he was sober. And I was like, so I pressed play and-

I forgot that for best picture, they show the pictures throughout the night. They have their own little segment when you come back from commercial breaks. So I was waiting for him to be like, and the nominees are. But then when he just kind of opened the envelope, I was like,

oh my God, he's just opening the envelope. He's not even going through all the selections. I was like, this is a disaster. Pacino, someone get the hook and get this fucking man off stage. I mean, it happened so, so quickly to where he was like, I think the envelope says Oppenheimer, you know, and it just happened so quick. I was like, oh my God, Pacino.

Are you supposed to be here? Like someone get their drunk uncle off stage. It was the whole, it was La La Land. Who were those two famous actors and actresses again that did the whole La La Land when it was actually Moonlight, that one, when they opened it and they were like La La Land. And then it was, and they had a run on stage. They're like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, get off. Dude, that, that was an epic snafu. I actually think it might've been the opposite.

Where they said it was moonlight? No, they said La La Land because that's the quote, the sound bite that everybody uses. And then they run on stage when La La Land's up there and they're like, you guys got to get off the stage. Oof. That is embarrassing as hell. Just by waiting outside? Can you hear that?

I can't hear that on my end. All right. And with that, we're going to take a quick commercial break and we'll be right back.

and help improve muscle strength and endurance. I've started taking it recently and have started to tell that there is a definite risk when I work out or am active, but might appear 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.

I saw that Tony Cavalero posted something today. So Tony Cavalero is in Wretched Gemstones. He's a buddy of ours. He lives in LA, but he lives here when they're filming for Gemstones. And I totally could see freaking Tony Cavalero doing that. I thought it was a bold move from Cena. It means that he's just gone... That's who he is though. Yeah. I mean, I guess so. I mean, he's just gone full...

I'm a comedian actor now. You know, even though that I just don't find him that funny, even though he was kind of funny and Ricky Stinicki did just watch. Oh, I was sick people. I watched lots of movies and I should have watched fucking Oppenheimer and things like that. But I start show gun. Oh yeah, of course.

Of course. I got caught up in Masters of the Air. I mean, I had a lot of couch time and it was very sad because I wanted to be in the gym and I just got back from Mexico. So I was like, "All right, let's work out this tequila." And yeah, couch bound. Oh yeah, John Cena.

But John Cena, I think that it was a ballsy move. I think that it worked out for him because the category, right? I was like, oh my God, man, what is he getting announced? Then he's like wardrobe. I was like, oh, that was actually clever.

I just think I just laughed out loud. You sent that post in our group chat on Instagram and reading the comments that all the conspiracies that that's him basically being initiated into like the Hollywood elite. That was his punt or his hazing was to do that. And I was like, put on your tinfoil helmets. We are talking Illuminati. We're talking Illuminati. And I did text Greg yesterday afternoon and I said, Hey,

are you going to watch the Oscars tonight? And after 10 minutes, he responded and said, wait, I'll read you exactly what he said. I was like, can you not just answer me normally? But I did laugh out loud. He said, the Illuminati cult. And he said, they haven't asked me to join yet. And I said,

And I said, "Would you tell me or would there just be signs?" And he said, "There would be signs like me saying that they don't exist and being like,

That's all just a crazy myth. So if Craig ever starts to debunk the Illuminati, if he ever knows that conspiracy theories, that's right. That's right. We know that something funky is going on, but I did send a post to Nick and Craig because the comment section was hilarious. When Sina walked out naked, the comment section was just getting, you know, lit up being like Illuminati humiliation trial or something like that. You know, like,

like humiliation uh ritual or whatever ritual yes so the illuminati inducted cena in uh but made him get humiliated first and i think he passed with flying colors i think he did too or did he do too i just think that's who cena is he's like a genuine person i think i think he's done over a thousand make-a-wishes nick's been bit by the cena bug i have

I thought it was great. It was ballsy, to say the least. But he's gotten naked in movies before, so he's had no problem doing it. I know that you and Craig are both fans of Peacemaker? Peacekeeper? Peacemaker, yeah. Peacekeeper. Okay, now I don't know what it's called. I thought Vacation Friends was very funny, too. It's another Hulu movie. Okay, I might have seen it. I can't remember.

It's the, it's like, uh, the black guy that's in, uh, that Ron, the, uh, free guy movie. That's like his best friend. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's in it. Well, you need to watch fucking Ricky. Ricky Stinky. Yeah. It's so stupid. It's funny, but Efron, isn't that funny? His buddies, his best friend's name in the movie, you know, it was JT. So like, I hated him just right off the bat. Um,

And it just reminded me of, Efron did a really hilarious movie a couple years ago with Michael Jordan and Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, excuse me, and called that awkward moment. And it felt like they were trying to do that again with like a trio of friends, but that awkward moment was done so much better. Like, if I watch that awkward moment again, even though that

They're supposed to play like, you know, 25 year old dudes who live in the city and they're, you know, slap dicks. I got like, I want to be in their friend group. Like that's how that movie makes you feel. This movie did not make me feel like that at all. I was like, this friend group is fucking lame. Um, but Sina, but Sina makes you laugh your ass off. Um, because he's, yeah, it's funny. Um, what else, Nick, man, what else from the Oscars? I mean, there's a lot, there was, oh,

i mean going back to i i thought it was funny that emma stone's dress like broke when she like pretty much walked up on stage going back to emma stone and she was like yeah my dress is broken everybody um i thought billy that's that sort of that that people you know commiserate with and they're like he's just like us you know and then they're just like the darlings of hollywood i mean look at jennifer lawrence like that is her to a t

Yes. Oh my God. You know, don't look at my dress. He, he, right. And everyone's like, you're just like us girl. I do think Margot Robbie was robbed of an Oscar for Barbie. I think it went to who's what's the woman's name who won it. Is it like Ferreira or something? That was the. No, America Ferreira was her co-star. That's what I'm saying. She was nominated, but Margot Robbie wasn't.

Oh, I didn't even know that. And then Greta. Dude, please God, cut that. I don't even want to deal with that. I don't even want to deal with that. I'm just going to bleep the name. I'm leaving you saying cut that in there. I am bleeping the name. Greta Gerwig. Yeah, Greta Gerwig. Yeah, of course. That's what I was talking about the whole time.

Yes, Greta Gerwig. They got snubbed, and I think that's bullshit because they made that movie. If you're going to nominate everything else, those two deserve it more than I think Gosling and America Ferreira did. And I love Gosling, obviously. Greta quite literally made the movie, yes. Yes.

um you know and the movie is called barbie and one of them quite literally does play barbie so they did you know make the movie um maybe the academies didn't feel the same way nick i mean i think it's all i'm not every i'm not i'm not i'm not here to talk

about Barbie. That's for sure. Yeah. It goes back to when Shakespeare in Love knocked off, what's it called? Save the Prime and Ryan. And the most absurd win, I think, of all time in the Oscars. But then I think the holdovers should have done better. I think with Paul Giamatti. Yeah. I don't know. I didn't watch it. You didn't watch it. You got some homework to do. Oscar homework. Dude, I do. I do have some Oscar homework. Um,

All right, besties. Well, thanks for joining us for this week's podcast. It was short and sweet. Thank you for joining us for this Tuesday's podcast, the first podcast of the week. I'm feeling good enough to be back in the saddle with a little one-two combo with a little one-two-three combo. Excuse me, Nick. And just want to get a little Oscar talk out there. And

I missed you guys and I'll see you on Thursday. Thanks so much. And a quick announcement for me, cause I keep getting messages about it, but it'll be next week. We are going to do, cause we had fun with it last year. We're going to do a, another March madness bracket. Um, we'll be prizes from all three of us. All three of our companies will chip in. Um, and yeah,

Yeah, it should be fun. Yeah, and Alabama is not going to be anywhere near ranked, the number one ranking this year. So I will not make the mistake of busting my bracket with Alabama. So I will be a competitive player in this year's bracket besties. I think the women's bracket's got more headlines than the men's do. But the first weekend of the men's is probably one of my favorite weekends in sports. The round of 64, round of 32. I think...

Oh my gosh, absolutely. It is, it's, it's definitely up there. I think that we'll, we'll do like a little draft of like, what's the best weekend in sports because opening weekend of March madness is just,

Mayhem, it's madness. My bracket, just so that all of you know, I'm just going to name it right now. It's giving Kennergy. That's going to be the name of my bracket. So every bestie just knows when they see it, when they submit it, that that's my bracket and you can look at it and you can laugh at it or you can copy it if you want to win.

Yes. But stay tuned for that and then take us out, Austin. See you guys. Okay. Besties. Thanks again for hanging out. And we'll see you guys on Thursday with another fresh new episode of Pillows and Beer.
