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.

What's up, besties, and welcome to this week's episode of Pillows and Beer. We are recording on this Super Bowl hangover, which I want to download almost immediately. But it looks like Craig is in New York. He's in Paige's apartment, or he's in their apartment. Nick is where he is, which is there. And we're all here together. I'm in Charleston. And let me just say...

She started off, and I woke up pissed off today. Why? I woke up pissed off at the outcome of the game. Wanted the Niners to win. We, the Panthers, put Christian McCaffrey through some of the bullshit that I wanted him to actually succeed on another team. And yeah, I mean, I guess that I've had Chiefs and Taylor Swift fatigue. And then I put a lot of money on the Niners, too. Yeah, I didn't. I have fatigue and just kind of annoyed.

I didn't do too well with my bets, but I had some fun with it. You know, Paige had a good point. She said at least it was like it got exciting as in everyone was watching the second half. The problem, you know, that we all had was I basically told everyone.

♪♪

Mahomes tried to throw to a triple covered Kelsey just so the NFL would have their Kelsey winning touchdown of the Super Bowl. So much so that the receiver that was wide open in the middle of the field went and fucking yelled at Mahomes on the bench and was like, dude, we could have won the Super Bowl and you threw it to him. And then Mahomes freaked out and was screaming at him. But I didn't. I didn't see that.

Yeah. I mean, he was either number four or number five, but I had the, I had, let's talk about our bets. I was using draft Kings. I lost the coin toss, but then it was tails in overtime, but that didn't matter. Yeah. Um, the Gatorade was purple.

The Gatorade was purple, man. Did you and Nick say that or did you say orange? We said orange. Yeah. We said orange. And I said blue. I took the over of the entire game, which wasn't even fucking close, 47. But I also... We took the 49ers money line because we were... I feel like a Super Bowl is a good day to bet with your partner or whatever. But Paige is like, it's going to be a close game. So we took the money line. But then we took 49ers by a point and a half for the first half. So...

We ended up down a little bit, but we won a decent amount of... I also got McCaffrey scoring the first touchdown, which I won $250 on. I had put $50 on that. That saved me. But I thought I had lost it because the first score was a field goal, and then I had Travis Kelsey scoring at any time, so I at least hoped that he scored at the end. So I lost a couple hundred, but it was...

It was fun. How did you deal with your bets? The over-under on Reba singing the national anthem, I think was 90 and a half seconds. And I timed it to where it went to 140, sorry, a minute and 42. So it hit the over and I took the over because people told me that Reba was going to take her time. But my big bet was 49ers minus two, which means...

that the 49ers were supposed to win by or have to win by more than two for those listening and um i took it with whitney we need to put a thousand dollars on it because you know when you wanted to go less and i was like no no no let's go and my rationale behind it craig was just what we've been saying where i was like in my heart of hearts i feel like

then the Chiefs are going to win. It's written in the stars, like they are going to win. They've played in these games. NFL wants Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey to have this moment under the sun. And I was like, but because my heart feels that way, and I've been betting terribly recently, I'm going to do the exact opposite of what I think. And so I took Niners and we all know how it turned out, but it bums me out so much. So

that I'm kind of over the NFL right now. I think next year, you know, and obviously everyone here can freaking call me out if they ever see me out watching the game at the bar or something next year. But because the Panthers are going to be so horrible again, you know, next year. And, you know, this just happened with the chiefs. I am taking a year break from the NFL. You heard it here first. You heard it here first.

I'm taking a break. Bullshit. I don't love repeat winners. I mean, obviously. Look, I will say that I think the only people that like repeat winners are if you are that team's fan base. Of course. You know, we already saw it. Like, we saw all these people be happy. We saw them give their speeches. Like, I just wanted a little bit of a switch up. And I'm not going to go into the obnoxiousness.

of what we had to be faced with because the Chiefs won. Because my favorite Kelsey is Jason, and my favorite person at the Super Bowl is his wife who just refuses to wear Chiefs colors. And I think it's phenomenal because she's a diehard Eagles fan. And so she had red on, but it was a Cincinnati shirt.

Bearcats, Cincinnati Bearcats. And I just, I love that. And then someone posted some video of like, you know, whatever Taylor and Travis making out at the DJ booth and it pans over and Jason's got this like, yeah, yeah. That's what it is next to marshmallow. Just like dancing. And I was like, without you, I would be such an unhappy person, but the, um,

I was happy about the calls because the refs, I don't think, got involved too much. I mean, shit, they called that holding penalty on the Chiefs. But, I mean, at some point, you're like, are the players now getting paid off? Like, is there so much money in the game? I thought that. They get to a couple players.

I thought that it was a very fair game. You know, I was watching the whole thing and I thought it was a great game. I mean, geez, man, the NFL is like we are winning, you know, everywhere. I mean, this game is going to extra time. Like we're literally going to extra time in the biggest game of the year. Like that's more time for ads. That's more time to pan to T-Swift. That's more time for everything. So the game was good. And I don't think that the refs blew it.

I think the Niners blew it. Brock Purdy blew it. Yeah. Also, I hate, hate commentators. The first thing they start saying after the game is like, let us be clear. The 49ers did not lose that game. The Chiefs won. And more specifically, my homes won that game. And I was like, no, they did. They missed the extra fucking point and they lost the fucking Superbowl. Like they did lose three and four. Yes. A third and four. Well, well,

That third and four call after the two-minute warning pissed me off so much. I'm like, you have all world, all rushing NFL leading back in the backfield. The Chiefs have two timeouts. Run the football. Even if you don't get that first down, you force the Chiefs to take a timeout. You burn some time. That is the move. Put the ball in your best player's hand on the field.

which is what the Chiefs tried to do at the very end of the game, as Craig said, with that last pass. Like, all right, we're going to throw it to our best player for one last ditch effort. And Travis Kelsey was well, well covered. And so they were stupid. But that third and four after the two-minute warning was so, so dumb. And then deferring? No, no, no. Sorry. They did not defer. They should have deferred. They should have deferred. They should have. Stupid as shit. No, so here's why I agree with it. A, because your team is just

the ball. Yeah, because your defense was just gas. No, your defense was just gas. No.

They just had that in a regular, in a regular season game. Yeah. The second reason why is if you both score, you get the ball for the third time and then it's sudden death. Okay. So listen, Nick, you can't, you need to let Patrick do what he's going to do. Right. And then when you get the ball, right. And so that Patrick, you know, goes down, gets a touchdown, right. Because, because the,

the Niners deferred. Then you're sitting there as the Niners being like, we have four downs every single first down to do what we have to do, which is to score a touchdown. And Patrick Williams is used to it, did what he does. And if there wasn't that holding penalty, for God's sakes, then the Niners were about to go three and out on that first drive. I was like, oh, my God, this is absolute nightmare status.

They didn't know that that was the rule. I mean, look, I didn't either, but I'm not in the NFL. Well, it's the first year I think they did that, they said. But it was the players that didn't know. But I just think that you have Patrick Mahomes. He probably is going to score a touchdown. I mean, the odds are against you there.

If you go down faith in your defense, he didn't score. They didn't score touchdowns the whole game. The defense was playing great. I know. No, dude, but that's what they do. Unfortunately, like the chiefs can be, you know,

Down by 10, you know, and then in the fourth quarter, they're like, we're going to put up 24 points just because that's what we do. And they put up crazy points at the end of the game in overtimes because it's just crazy. Now, what Craig said earlier, it reminded me where the postgame speech and Patrick Mahomes was like, you know, this team has just faced adversity. And you're like, shut the hell up. What?

What adversity have has your team faced other than your dumbass brother? Like like what adversity has this team gone through like you guys are super bold champs and you're gonna tell me yeah Don't talk about adversity with you know your team like you're the best team. Hmm Did you see him jump his brother Jackson? jumped in front of so in a normal skybox, which you guys know but like in a normal skybox and

like the seat that you always see Taylor Swift in has like a ledge in front of it and like a, you know, chair rail for your drinks. Jackson jumped up on that with his back to the cameras trying to be in it and ended up blocking all of the girls. So like when the camera was trying to get their reaction, all you could see was the back of that kid. And I was like, I mean, talk about someone that just needs to get a life or his own life. Yeah. Um,

And apparently at a Super Bowl party pregame, you know, the day before, two days prior, someone said this to me. I think that Whitney told me where Brittany Mahomes was. No, I sent you the video on Instagram. Yeah, there's a video of it. Where Brittany was up in a booth and Jackson's like, get me up there, get me up there. And she just like, nah, dude. And like turns her back to him or just completely snubs him.

She came up at first and like, was like, yes, that's who that is. And the bouncer was like, he's not like on the list. And so then she went back and yeah, she was like, all right, what are you going to do? I, before we're going to take a quick commercial break before talking about the halftime show, but my favorite social media posts, which they're just so clever. But did you see Ryan Reynolds post about Wolverine?

No, he posted about Daredevil, but was like, by the way, does anyone know where my wife is? Because she was on the fucking TV for an hour with Taylor Swift. And so Ryan's caption is like, hey, does anyone know where my wife is, by the way, or where she's been for the last hour?

But yeah, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back to this episode of Pillow. I would like to talk to you about one of our sponsors, Timeline Nutrition, and one product in particular, MitoPure.

Welcome back to Pillows and Beer. I'm Craig Conover, joined by Austin Kroll and Nick Norris. Just talking all things Super Bowl. The highlight for me was top two favorite halftime shows ever. I'm going to say because of relevancy of time or recency, the rule of recency, it is my favorite halftime show ever. Yeah.

I think all halftime shows should be medleys. The more, the merrier. No, like I hated last year where like the same singer just saying the entire time. I actually give major props to frigging Usher for bringing out all sorts of people and him being like, yes, I know that my name is, you know, the marquee person on the halftime show, but let's bring out all these people that I've collabed with and make this an awesome halftime show.

Craig and I were fans. Craig and I were fans. Nick, once again, dude. I mean, Nick, you little... What did you call him, Craig? A curmudgeon. Nick was like, I disagree. I did not like it. Is it because he's young? No, I like Usher. Is it because he's young?

Young? What do you mean? I mean, I wouldn't classify Usher as young. No, me. No, Nick. Like he was in elementary school when this. Sorry, Usher, for taking a shot at you right there. No, I think like I loved how he sang. Sure, there was a track playing, but they didn't make – he wasn't lip singing. So like you could hear like he was singing. He fucking dances better than anyone in the game. I'll give him props for that.

The roller skating was so cool. Like, how do they keep inventing something? The guitar, the soloist was awesome. But my favorite guest was probably like having Alicia Keys out there playing the piano was really cool. Alicia Keys look good.

Oh my God. Everybody was like, if that, cause her boyfriend is one strong man or husband for when Usher got behind her. It's the first thing I Googled. I said, is Alicia Keys married? Because I was like, that was really aggressive. All the memes that have surfaced, you know, since then they're like, they're like, you know what I mean? This is what's happening to your girl when she's at work. You know, it's like, it's like,

It's like, you know, I mean the guy that she tells you to not, to not fucking worry about at work. And it's like, Hey girl, I missed you so much.

but like having luda out there he looked like the guy from dodge dodgeball little john's my favorite person no matter what he was he was like sitting on top of the crowd but he was coming in and then uh usher was in the middle of a choreography and he tried to like dap him up and he just like kept walking through the dancers and then sat on the side and like it was pretty funny i thought it was awesome i knew too all right yeah that was awesome

All right, Nick, why don't you tell us the reasons why you don't think that? No, I liked it when Little John showed up. I liked it before that. I just didn't. I just wasn't into it. Like the song. Well, he started all the songs. Yeah. The first few. What do you start with?

It was slower. I forget. But, like, Paige thought it was good. I didn't. I'm all. Yeah. I know a lot of girls were upset because I guess apparently Justin Bieber, like, did, like, a surprise, like, appearance, like, a couple weeks ago. And they're like, uh-oh, this is him prepping for the Super Bowl to be out there with Usher. And then there's no sign of Justin Bieber. I mean, I was bummed about that, too. I thought he might go out there. But him and Haley sat in the –

sat in the box i was surprised they let him dance on the field like i thought they were going to pull a turf out there or like a mat or something but they performed on the field and all those dancers were on the all those fans on the field i guess they prep it for they know what's coming and they just know how to uh it's still fucking grass yeah there was nothing on there um well no i guess it's astro turf in vegas

Yeah, no, no, no, it wasn't. They grew. There's a whole animation. They grew the field next to the stadium and then they wield it inside. Oh, they do like the Cardinals do it. Okay. Well, then how the hell did that one player get hurt, dude, when he ran out? I thought that was going to happen. That's what I think.

That was part of it. He's one of the best athletes in the entire world, and he got hurt running onto the field. It was a little weird. I mean, I'm sure the guy didn't mean to do it and hated it. He stopped himself. He stopped short. I was. Yeah. I felt bad for that hurt. I mean, that's yeah, it's a Super Bowl. That sucks for anyone that doesn't get to play.

I was, I'm happy the kickers didn't miss though. Other than the extra point. Cause I get so stressed out for that. That was huge though. That one point. Oh yeah. True. Well, they always game. Well, you know, what's funny about that extra point was that it actually helped me or my mind is too bad, which I ended up losing, but I needed him to miss because 1919, I needed that thing to go to OT so that I could cover the minus two.

Which went in the opposite favor. So yeah, the game would have ended in 2019. Oh, gotcha, gotcha. Yeah, I didn't get to, you know, commercials looked really funny, but I was in the like, we were kind of a little late on getting our food situated and...

We just had like we were on phone calls and stuff. So I didn't I missed some of the beginning ones. But I laughed out loud at like there's four that I thought was really well. OK, I laughed at the the the the scrubs, the two guys from scrubs with Jason with Aquaman when they were dancing and singing. I was laughing out loud. So that was one that I liked.

So they were in it because I was like, how fun would it be to do that? Like, you're never going to cross paths in your like acting career. And then all of them just got into it and went for it. I don't think I was laughing out loud. I was just smiling. What was one of the ones that I loved?

i like the arnold one the arnold yeah i like christopher walken all the impersonations of him i like the dunkin donut one specifically because of matt damon doing his life oh sorry i just like just feel like disgusted himself duncan donuts one was really funny because when matt david was like remember when i said that i'd do anything for you he was like that was anything uh

And then the fourth one was with the, those same guys. And then the guys from suits. And then I can't remember, they were all doing like the duo things. And it was like them, like spinning in circles. And then like one of them opens the garage. He's like, stop it, mom. And stuff like that. I laughed at that one. Mom, close the garage. Yeah. Danny DeVito. I didn't see Danny DeVito's one with Arnold. I thought that was funny. I,

I didn't see it. So, so what they did was that, excuse me, is that they played the commercial in its entirety the first time. And then the rest of the Superbowl, I'm pretty sure that they just played like a truncated version of it. So the rest of the Superbowl, it was like a 32nd, you know, ad space, but the first ad was a minute. And that's when game to veto was in it. They're like, we're going to have someone come in for you. No, I laughed at it.

the mayo cat the Hellman's commercial uh where like the cat dated um Pete Davidson Pete Davidson oh I didn't see that they brought back I'm gonna have to go on to YouTube man after this and like just watch like a 10 minute highlight reel of the best commercials they brought back the E-Trade babies which are always great and they were just talking shit to these yeah talking shit about pickleball like they should just call this wiffle tennis like um

And then they brought back the Clydesdales, which I thought the Budweiser one could have been better, but I always like to see the Clydesdale. I thought that they were going to have a couple Budweiser commercials, and then they had one? Well, they did more, I think.

I remember seeing one leading up to the Super Bowl, and I was like, oh, well, this will be a good one. And then they didn't play that, and then they did it in favor of, yeah. So it was just like a classic Clydesdale commercial where they had a wagon. Yeah, they had like the dog. Oh, I didn't see the Barry one. I felt bad for LL Cool J and his commercial because they're like, thanks, LL. Like most people wouldn't know who LL Cool J was.

See, damn it. I need to watch these. Michael Cera's was apparently great. Aubrey Plaza's was apparently great. She did Mountain View. Oh, yeah. Michael Cera. Cera V. Cera V. He cracks me up so much. It's, yeah. Yeah.

Who was that one company that had money for like 70 commercials? Oh, Timu. And I was like, what is that? You know what Wish.com is? Which one did you say? Timu. It's like the new Wish.com. It's like a Chinese company. So like everything's like a factory knockoff stuff. So everything costs like $8 on it. You can get like a drone that would normally cost $2,000 by DGI, but for $14 or something like that. Oh, and then at...

Addison Rae got the nerds commercial and all she no I'm not saying all she had to do but her role was laying on the couch eating nerds and smiling and I was like good for you I mean great on you well somebody she's a tiktok girl well they're getting paid for like I think I saw like Ben Affleck made over like 10 million dollars for the dunking commercial

Best commercial, though, for my favorite, I had to be reminded, I knew I had it, was Poppy. Congratulations to Poppy. The owners were at the Super Bowl. They basically articulated everything during the commercial where I was like, this is what our kids will drink. This is the soda that they will know. They won't know the other sodas of this generation. They will know Poppy, and that's what...

The commercial was, they were like, the old story of soda is gone. This is the new chapter in soda. This is like real shit. It tastes like soda fizzes like soda. It was just, it was a 32nd spot, but it doesn't have what, you know, sugar and all the bullshit. Yeah.

It doesn't have what has five grams, but it doesn't have the fake like dyes and materials and like the gums. Do you not drink coffee? Uh-uh. Because I saw the one. Well, I don't drink soda in general.

It's good for your stomach too. It's a probiotic. Okay. We'll see. We'll switch it up. Is that the one where the can looks like Sprite? I mean, it literally did. It was like lemon-lime, and it looked like a can of Sprite, but it was Poppy. Yeah, and then they got cola and everything. Yeah, they're always... Oh, really? Yeah, they have a cola one. They only have their fruit flavors. Poppy, notice us. Sponsor us.

i didn't i mean is it like a big thing in you know new york or is it a big thing everywhere and i'm just i'm just fine went on like they used to send it like they were always in my garage and like um the producers would drink them and like amanda like from so and so but page always has them in her fridge yeah it's just like uh you feel weird drinking them at first because you're like what am i drinking and then you're like no this is like you're just giving me my like soda kick yeah

Yeah, that's our commercial. I just sent the boys the link to all the commercials. Thank you. Yeah, man. I thought that the commercials were good. How did you fare? It appeared that you fared better on food than me because I...

I told myself I was just going to walk and pick wings up. And then I just didn't. And I tried to have them delivered, even though I said they don't deliver well. And all the good wing places were closed. And yeah, that was how my journey started. How about you guys? Yeah. Well,

Whitney had mentioned that their helper, Connie, was going to be there on Sunday. He was like, so what do you think that we should do for food? Because I had called Whitney earlier in the week. I was just like, what are you doing for the game? And I was like, I really don't have plans at all. And he was like, all right, well, let's just plan to watch it here in his cottage. Anyway, so I told him, I was like, chili and cornbread and wings, please.

And I kind of jokingly mentioned Hooters wings, but she actually went and picked up Hooters wings. So Connie made chili and some cornbread with all the fixings, by the way, for the chili. And we had some Hooters wings. And I was hungry.

When I got there, because I had been saving up all day, I was like, ooh, yes, chili. I got so full so quick that I was about to take a nap prior to the game. That's how quickly that I filled up. I was like, oh my gosh. He looked at me. He was like, dude, are you okay? I was like, I'm just going to hit a wall because I had two bowls of chili and some breaded wings and a piece of cornbread. I was like, I have my calorie intake for the next fucking two weeks with what I just ate.

We have the same preference on wings, which is like a buffalo, basically like a fried wing and hot buffalo sauce, but not like extra crispy. Just throw it in the fryer and cook it, unlike the wings we got. Is that how Hooters wings are? Yeah. Well, no. Wait. Are they just classic wings? No. Hooters original wings are breaded.

Yeah, see, I don't like the breaded wings from Hooters. See, I'm not the biggest fan of breaded wings, and I'm not like... No, I'm not. I am a connoisseur of the Hooters wings, and they have these grilled ones now, because of course everyone wants to go healthier, and Daytona wings, which are like char-grilled wings that they toss in sauce. But beggars can't be choosers. I just mentioned Hooters wings, and she picked them up, so...

big props to Connie for fulfilling my Super Bowl Hooters wings fantasy. That's nice. We had pizza from this. We had pizza and it was really good. But then the wings is another staple. We had to put them in the oven for I ended up putting them in the oven for like 20 minutes and then they were good. But

You know, we had a big snacking weekend for my birthday. Like we ordered a lot of dips and snacks. And one night I just ordered a dessert box from a bakery and it had like six pieces of pie and cake in it. What? Yeah. Greg. That was good. That slowly would not, would not be okay with that. Yeah. And I take like a bite of, I take a bite of each one. There's like a tart. That was good.

So Super Bowl food wasn't... Are you going to give a shout out to where you got that snack box from? Actually, it was a place called Oasis. I mean, it's not like one of the top ones on the delivery apps ever, but I didn't want them because I've tried them before. And the flavors sometimes just don't pack a punch. So Oasis was pretty good. Okay. And you ordered six pieces of pie. Craig, that is impressive. Maybe...

Damn. I mean, yeah. If I can go into Mexico, I'm trying not to eat pie. And with that being said, we're going to take a quick little break here and hear a word from our sponsors and we'll be right back.

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.

Welcome back to this week's episode of Pillows and Beer. I'm hanging out with Craig and Nick. I'm going to Mexico Bay next week. I'm trying to not eat pie. But damn, does that sound good. Makes me want to order it like right now and catch up on the latest episode of Masters of the Air. I want that. Do you like it? Not as much as Band of Brothers. That's for damn sure. But then again, nothing can live up to that. Or the Pacific. It's not as good as the Pacific either. No.

It even took me years to come around to the Pacific, I think because I was being such like a European World War II snob. And then I finally came around to it. It was like, wait, this show and it is wonderful. But the one thing that I texted Craig about

is that I just don't buy the whole, you know, baby face Austin Butler as a major. Like it just, so like it throws me off and I keep on forgetting that he's a major. And then they talk to him like that. I'm like, Oh right. He's supposed to be like leading this whole fricking, you know, battalion. Oh, I just got, I thought the whole time you were saying as like a major, uh,

Character. No, literally as a major in the Air Force. Yes, in rank. It throws me off.

Yeah, I am. The thing I'm OK with that is, though, that they were all babies. That's the thing. Like they were all so young in World War Two. Like they were like it really was like twenty three, twenty four year olds were leading entire like squadrons. And like the only people there used to be such a big gap between like the officers and that like the people flying like.

the people in charge were in their thirties or upper twenties, but like the guys flying and it's sad because you realize how many people like died and how many people like on that one mission, they send three commanders and they're like, why are they sending this much brass with us? And it's like, well, because there's a good chance that you die. You made it yourself, Greg. Sorry. There's a good chance that you die anyway.

No, yeah. Well, so the crazy thing is, if you're talking about young people, Austin, Winters, you know, from Band of Brothers, he was 23 in World War II at the start of it. No. Yeah. What? Yeah. What?

but but but then they show him you know throughout right okay okay but in the beginning man he wasn't shit is what i'm trying like he wasn't shit but you know he was like 27 he was you know okay he didn't look as big okay but you mean 27 and going through four four years of war means he's like 45 you know like he he he was like a battle-tested man where austin butler just looks like you know he hasn't shaved like a day in his life and

And I don't know. I'm just saying I'm finding it a little difficult. I haven't gotten addicted to it like I was the other two. I love that it's out. It might happen, though. Because I love having it as background. Like right now, for me, it's a relaxing show to put on like in the background. Yeah. Well, I am for sure about to throw it on. But I do want to come back to what we were talking about last week. So...

Since last week, Craig and Nick, I binged traders. Oh, wow.

I think that your reservations about doing it, Craig, are completely valid. It is stressful as fuck. If you are a trader, you are lying to everyone's face for just days on end. And then people are sitting around talking about you and they're like, I don't know, man, Craig is being quiet. He's not saying anyone's name.

And then they'll sit there and just like attack your character because you're just lying. Like that is your job. Like you are just lying. And then you're like, I'm not a fucking traitor guys. I promise. I'm not, I mean, I was pacing, I was pacing around my house and watching the show and I was yelling at the TV. I mean, it's good, but I had to take a break after the third episode. Cause I was like, my heart is going to fucking explode. And then I took like a break and then I came back and watched man two more. And you know, I mean,

There's a thing where like they can recruit a faithful to be a trader. And I can't say much for those who haven't seen it, but like the whole time you're on the edge of your seat and like, you know, man, they're missing, missing, missing. And then they catch one. And when they get like, it is like,

It is a lot, man. Like it is a mental test and it almost kind of just reminds me of like, you know, society, right? So everyone wants to win the game and they're willing to do it and claw and get ahead in any way possible to win. And yes, Traders is just like a game, but it just reminded me if like society were to break down.

that people would actually just fucking act like this and they would do whatever they had to do to win or survive. And that is literally what traders is, which is why it was giving me so much anxiety.

Yeah, like that's why there's got to be more on the line. Like I would be able to do it, but there's got to be more on the line for me to fuck over another human being. But I guess it's just a game. That's what you do. I hear one of the Bravo girls is killing it as traitor though. Yeah, she is. And no one fucking suspects her in the first, you know, from everything that I've seen.

I think her friend ends up like, Oh, well we don't want to, yeah, there's no, but someone ends up like backing her. And then she doesn't waste me either, man, because I didn't finish the rest of episode seven and it's just, yeah, it's one of those things where you watch it and you're

You know, you're like, oh my God, oh my God. And so she is going to call out her, but then he has to make it, you know, he has to, you know, deflect and throw out, you know, someone else's name and say that they're acting like this and that they should vote for them. And, and it worked in a few of them. And I was like, damn, this is like some good game plan. And then I was like, would I be able to do it? Or would it be written all over my face? Craig, as much as you know,

say that you don't want to fuck over another person i just really think you'd be fucking good at it i think that you'd be a good well man either or i think you'd be like a good faithful and you'd be like guys guys guys the way that nick is over there in the corner just talking to her i i i'm just getting this weird vibe that nick is a traitor or they're trying too hard but dude

Get this, one of the players, man, Deontay Wilder, a boxer, okay? He was in three episodes and people really liked him. And no one was, you know, suspecting him or throwing out like his name. People were like, we really think that, you know, he's a faithful. So what happens is that you lead this witch burning trial and you can get like a group thing going, right? And everyone's like, okay, man, Deontay really thinks that Craig is a traitor and everyone can vote for you, Craig.

And exactly like you just said, Deontay was wrong on calling out someone. And then he withdrew himself from the competition because he was like, my fucking mental health right now is like,

is you know taking like a beating from this and but he was was he a trader or a regular person no no he was a faithful and he left the charge on or he led the charge on on who he thought was a traitor and he went man all in on it and everyone you know followed his vote and he voted off

a faithful. And after he voted off like a faithful, he was like, dude, he was crying, Craig. He was crying. He was like, man, I can't do this shit. I can't do this shit. And then they didn't even explain it. He just wasn't at breakfast and they just kept on going and they kept on moving. And then I Googled it and he was like, I fucking withdrew because of my mental health. He was like, I had to get out of there.

because he felt so bad that he voted off someone wrong and and that's what you said kind of but like it it with you man so anyways well i'm glad you watched it my traders update and craig would be a good player yeah i mean i'm open to it if they come and ask um but like if if watching it's too stressful for me i wonder no playing it would be a lot of fun i i'm i'm pumped i'm ready to watch my new season at ghost is coming out that's what i'm excited for

I have to catch up on the best show on television. According to Craig, Craig's current favorite show on television is ghost. Okay. Um, I can't wait for avatar to come out on Netflix and I can't wait for, what is avatar? Like a show. What's like, remember the cartoon? Are you serious? Earth, like the last day of the fire kingdom came.

Wait, what? Dude, what? I know about the first and second. It's like one of the most successful cartoons, man, other than Dragon Ball Z. Not the blue people one. No, I know what Avatar is, like the two movies, but you just said I can't wait for Avatar to come out on Netflix. Oh, right. The Last Airbender, a TV show. Yeah, it's a cartoon from Nickelodeon from like 20 years ago. Different. It's one of the most...

different totally different it's like blue people like an american anime i guess would be the best way to describe it yeah oh and then um speaking of traitors the there was that big breakup oh mj michael jordan's son and larsa pippen so they're gonna have to film the i guess andy commented on it because someone's like so have you filmed the reunion yet he was like no

And do they actually break up? It seems so, dude. They fucking unfollowed each other. She's posting some cryptic shit. No, it's not cryptic. I mean, it's it. Right. I don't think you could call what she's posting cryptic now. Like, Craig, I don't think I mean, dude, it's Marcus Jordan. You know, he is air to like he does not need money. He's not under contracting by Bravo. He'll literally be like, I'm not coming to this. You know, sorry. Like, I'm not coming to this shit. Like, oh, to the reunion. Yeah. You know, I literally do. Yeah.

And Larsa might, but I bet that she could. You know who's very happy today, though, about that? Scotty. Ain't no one happier than him right now. I mean, and probably Michael, too. Oh, yeah, definitely. He's probably like, all right. There are some good memes about that. He's like, can I be friends with my buddy again now? Can you stop banging his ex-wife, son, please? Yeah.

They're in Disney. The Jordans are in Disney World. Okay. I'm shocked about where they watch the Super Bowl from. That is kind of a perfect way to wrap the episode because that's where everyone goes after they win the Super Bowl. I'm surprised that Patrick Mahomes didn't say that. Where are you going after the Super Bowl? I'm going to the happiest place on Earth. Well, it used to be... Encore nightclub in Las Vegas. I'm going to Crazy Horse.

All right, besties. Well, thanks for hanging out with us this episode of PNB. We love you. And we'll see you in a couple of days. Every sandwich has bread. Every burger has a bun. But these warm, golden, smooth steam buns. These are special. Reserved for the very best. The Filet-O-Fish and you. You can have them too.
