I'm joined by Mr. Greg Conover, who, after a little flight delay, is finally back in Charleston, South Carolina. And by Mr. Nick Norris, who is, haven't come up, haven't thought of anything clever enough yet to say, but he's coming from Virginia. Virginia.

And we're coming at you in the middle of the Olympics and fun things on the horizon. And so it should be a fun episode. So what's up, guys? What's up? Yeah. My brother and his fiancee got delayed too. So I just hung out at the airport for an extra hour to grab them. Would you fly? I was on Delta flight. Do you think that it had anything to do with all the shit that's been going on or?

I don't know. I think they're all just still trying to catch up, which is crazy. But my friends think everything's hacking now, but I do. There's been several attacks in Paris that no one's talking about. They took down...

their internet and the cell towers and then they blew up train stations um and now like the athletes can't get food like i'm like yeah obviously like these aren't just act like like non-happy accidents that happen

And you're right, Craig. You are right. I have not heard of any of these. And that doesn't mean shit. It just means that I guess that I haven't heard on the mainstream media of attacks or

there was like a subway bombing you're saying but nick didn't they like take out the train line they didn't blow up any like train it was like a fire at like the control station so you know where like a subway station in like the us there'd be like a lot like those big-ass control panels they essentially blew those up so they couldn't like run the trains for like their high-speed trains oh gosh oh gosh

I mean, is this why the French are doing so, so well at the Olympics? Aren't they crushing it in metal count? I mean, they're not beating us, but, uh, they're top five, I think right now. Yeah. Number two. Uh, you know, I, I, uh, I don't know that the Olympics to me, like I was working from home the last three days, like a lot of days that I do, uh, from New York. And so I had like the time to watch and, uh,

I've just found it a little... Underwhelming? What? Underwhelming? Yeah. In what way? I don't feel like I've had access to as many sports as I'd like. Do you have Peacock?

I have everything, everything you could possibly have. I have. You can go to any sport and just click on it, click on it, click on it, click on it. Even dish we I've got, and it's, you can do like a four screen thing where you get four sports going at the same time. That's how I expected it to be. Maybe I just couldn't figure it out.

Maybe when I was younger, I just felt like when the Olympics were on, it's all our day consisted of. And I feel like it's not as in my face as I'd like it. I don't feel as exposed to it as I should be. Okay. I feel...

Kind of the opposite. And I say kind of not like completely the opposite, but like my group chats are all talking about like the Olympics. And did you watch this game and your archery and watching all sorts of sports that I never thought. And yeah,

I feel like at any given time, if you go to E or USA or NBC, right. Because I don't, but I don't use Peacock. Um, but, but maybe I should start doing that. Cause I guess that that's like the hub for the Olympics, but every channel that I turned to, it's like a new event to watch. And it's actually cool. Cause it's on like when you wake up, right. You wake up, you grab coffee. It's on. I'm like, this is, this is awesome. I didn't know. Lots of stuff. Yeah. I got to watch the gymnastics live, which was cool. Um,

Congratulations to our team and all the athletes. That was, I mean, we smoked them, which was great. Who came in second? Italy. Italy? Yeah, they hadn't won a gym. They haven't won a medal in that sport in like 96 years. Really? Much like the men's US team. China flopped. They came in like sixth or seventh. Yeah, when the China men got second place, you look like...

their lives were over like ever like I think they should have got third they gave them like it by a point I think that was BS by by a half a point actually yeah excuse me yeah that was and shout out to the US men's team because they haven't won they haven't meddled in the Olympics in 20 years

Steve, what a guy, the pommel specialist with the glasses. He is my hero. He is amazing. And that was cracking me up. But, but yeah, man, when the Chinese lost Craig, it's because they had it, you know, locked down and literally in like two of the last, um,

uneven bars things a guy like you know missed it and like he so I mean it it was locked up and literally it was like all you have to do is not fall I mean I know that I'm saying that I mean are you kidding me it's so so you know technical and um and all those things but they let gold slip through their hands in in like the final hour I mean in the final like they just let it slip because they

missed the uneven bars and and did a couple other things and boom yeah singles the Japanese beat him again in the uneven bars on literally the last second as well I mean same you know same exact it was deja vu I mean yeah that's why I thought the pummel guy was gonna keep his glasses on he like literally take him off until he hopped I did too actually

i was like wait but what happens if like he's swinging all around and they fly off yeah that's like yeah i was like this is not good because they're not even like rex specs they're just like regular glasses our swimmers are doing great i mean it's been really cool the watched a little bit of ping pong i really like the business isn't that crazy craig even though that i've seen yeah even though that i've seen videos on youtube of like these crazy table tennis players

the olympics has taken it to like a whole new level like they are machines it looks like two robots out there going back and forth yeah i watched that doubles final is north korea versus china and you know paige is like why aren't all these north korean people defecting yeah and how nuts for them i didn't know that because they have all the only my sister and i talked about this they only take people that have families yeah they hold up families you have to have like relatives

um i'm gonna say something um i didn't know that north korea was participating in the olympics yeah they always have like they're always there and then they hire actors as fans like a lot i remember that i remember that from four years ago i remember this wait man what was the thing like is that what it was is that they were hired actors yeah um russia is the only country not in it no i thought the russians know the russians are there

not under their flag are you sure yeah russia is still banned from the olympics well because of that they're cheating oh the cheating scandal no the train invasion too but it was that what was it called uh no it's the the fact that they went to war against the world

I mean, Germany's there still, Craig, and they went to war with the world twice. So there are Russian athletes competing in it. They're just doing it under AIN is the name for the team. Right. But like that just means like, you know, independent nation. So like there are athletes from Russia, but like Craig said, they're not competing under their flag. Individual neutral athletes. Well. Who else did I like? I didn't realize that 3v3 basketball was a sport. Yeah.

I thought that was kind of neat. I mean, I knew about it, but I don't know the rules. I don't know. Because the U.S. men's and women's are 0-4 combined right now. So they've both gone 0-2. And it's quite the opposite story for five on five.

And that just leads me to believe that it's just like a completely different sport. Like, can they dribble or is it just like they pass it around, pass around and then they go in underneath the basket. Does the basket have a backboard to it or is that a different sport? What? 3v3? Yeah. Yeah. It's just a half court. You just have to take the ball back. Oh, so it's regular basketball and it's just a half court. Yeah. It's like 3v3 at like a...

like a normal court um maybe I'm dominating like in both then I don't understand that yeah I know different teammates I think I am maybe I get stressed out that I think it's going to be over as soon as it starts I just wish it was like always a thing uh are you gonna say something no

Let's just go to commercial here. And who the hell is Chuck? Okay. Chuck is telling us to go to commercial here. Who is Chuck? That's what my nickname growing like through high school pretty much. Think of my last name, Austin. How the hell did I not know this? Okay. Chuck Norris. All right. And with that, we'll take a quick commercial break and 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 one I work out or am 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.

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 mean, I guess that they're not conspiracies because it's actually happening. It's just not being talked about. I mean, ever since the opening ceremony, which was the most bizarre thing I've ever seen. It was so strange. That's all I'm going to say to it. It just didn't make any sense to me. It didn't make much sense. They like jumped all kind of over the place. And I was like, how are they deciding? They were running around with a torch. I saw that. And they never actually revealed his face.

Like they made this whole buildup and then they didn't tell you who it was. Well, well, who the hell would it have been? Nick Chuck, who would it have been? Who would they have revealed for the Assassin's Creed guy running along the rooftops to be for like the whole crowd to go crazy? I don't know either, but like who, who like for the rest of the world to be like,

yeah hell yeah let's go olympics it would have had to be like snoop dogg it would have had to be like he did it was like i mean that would have been funny but um yeah it was super bizarre it's crazy but i don't know i watched the archery which i liked a lot our girl kind of saw something crazy today the sound is awesome

the rugby bronze medal game yesterday when we literally scored a try in the last second by the girl running fucking 80 yards down. That was awesome. She truck-sticked the first girl.

I was watching the interview with the girls this morning and they kept on showing that play. And while I'm so, so happy that our team won its first bronze or first medal in women's rugby, I felt so, so bad for that girl because she is probably just like in the pits of hell. Like, oh my God, I was like the last line of defense before that girl ran 80 yards. Like we had the game one and she ran me over.

She has to be feeling. Yeah. Those girls are national treasures for us, which is great. That was awesome. That was an electric game. Paige asked me last night. She was like, was asking how much they get paid or whatever. And I was like,

was like, how long can you keep that as a full-time job? And I was like, actually, they have multiple jobs. And that's why Flavor Flav now personally sponsors the women's polo team. And he just wears like a polo helmet the whole time. It's fantastic. But he like couldn't believe that.

that they had to work all these jobs so he like reached out on instagram and was like i'm gonna take care of y'all like this year and i was like that's pretty awesome i mean it is awesome and and i wonder what that number looked like like by sponsoring them does that mean that he flew them all over there that that he put them all up or or does the olympics put you up once you well you can put into that like yeah

but like the travel costs and then training i think he covers they're like i think he pays them throughout the year yeah so they don't have to like so they can train and everything like that properly i played a um this weekend i was around a lot of my girlfriend's co-stars and i was like i'm just gonna name what i think everyone looks like like what their sport is

so i thought amanda looked like a diver i was like i don't know you just you look like you belong in the pool somewhere like um like a swim cap like yeah like swim caps uh cri said she was a fencer um paige was equestrian yeah uh and then carl i said was like beach volleyball definitely beach volleyball

I didn't give myself one, but I would like to be. I think beach volleyball is pretty cool, but I didn't give myself one. You both got the height for that. What would you give Austin and me? Well, that's why I'm bringing this up. Yeah. I mean, the fact that an ex-NBA player, Chase Budinger, is on the men's team,

beach volleyball team and like they're crushing aren't they i mean i don't know the last time that they played but i know that yesterday they won a match and and i was like yeah he's probably jumping out of the i can't say gym he's probably jumping out of the yeah he's probably crushing yeah sure he's jumping he's like a competitive kayaker oh hell yeah i love the kayaking yeah okay the broadcast got cut short maybe like a speed speed climber

- I'd do that too. - Both of them. - Yeah, it is. - I'd sign up for that in a heartbeat. - Speed climbing is, yeah, these guys are like, bell rung. You're like, oh my God, that guy rang the bell in six seconds. Scaled 50 feet.

I think someone said I could, I mean like Austin, you could be tennis. I think someone said I look like a tennis or like golfer, but those are easy. I mean, Austin, you kind of look like a beach volleyball player. Like I can see you with the laser sunglasses on. Yeah. Yeah. I'd like to wear those and like a, not like a do rag, but like a do rag, you know, sort of thing. Well, like, you know, the thing that Patrick Mahomes wears, you know, like a, like a, like a wide ass headband. Uh,

Yeah, not a do-rag. But yeah, if it was a do-rag, it'd be like folded up. No, not a do-rag. Oh no, I can see you doing a do-rag with your commercial. That was spot on for you to question that. Yeah, I watched a lot of do-rag this morning. Really? Yeah, I'm just trying to figure out how it's scored. I mean, I get it, like the throw. But other than that, I cannot...

Like they'll get them down and then the rest. That was going to be my question to you guys. How many sports do you watch in the Olympics percentage wise that you go, how the hell are these scored? Cause all the, most of the ones I watch, I'm like, I don't know what's going on, but it's awesome. Well, it's not that I question how all of them are scored. I mean, yes, there are certain sports from like, how the hell is this scored? Um,

It's more so like some of these sports, kind of like Craig was just talking about Flava Flav sponsoring the team where I'm like, these guys dedicate their whole lives to this like specific thing that they crush at, right? Like, you know, archery, like archery.

I mean, you have to be in the top like 1% of 1% of 1% to probably like make money off that sport. And then everyone else who's competing is just like practices this sport in their free time, but they just like are really good at this one sport.

And I find that incredibly fascinating. But yes, I don't know how scoring works for a lot of the sports that you probably find on the Ocho. Yeah, I hope there's a transition for them where they can quantify it or make money somehow. But it's really just like the love of the game and representing America. They do win like 30 grand for a gold medal. In the U.S. It depends on the country. Some countries don't even pay anything. Some do like up to 90. Yeah.

I know in France, I think if you had a gold, it's like $260,000. I saw some pretty big numbers. Kazakhstan, a bronze is a one-bedroom apartment. Silver is a two-bedroom. Singapore was like $750,000.

- Really? - Yeah. - I think Norway is no dollars or something. - Do you guys play handball in gym class? 'Cause that's how I know how to play handball. - Yeah, but those guys, they like put all that grease and like stuff on that ball. - Also-- - It's essentially, who was saying it? It's water polo without the water. - Yeah, well, yeah. My friend group thinks that the goalie in handball is the most worthless position in the Olympics.

Because they don't block anything? I haven't really seen it save. Not for skill. They're obviously the best in the world, but it just seems like they always score. All right. I just looked it up. It's 37.5 for gold medals, 22.5 for silver, and 15K for bronze in the US. That is really low, comparatively speaking. Some countries only pay you.

That seems crazy. And then we finished. We didn't place in any shooting event, which is very shocking to me. I feel like America should be. I mean, if I was guessing, we would be number one, but we're not. I saw the shotgun, like the skeet shooting. I didn't see like the pistol shooting though. The pistol shooting one is very interesting to me.

Well, I know that you're talking about the Turkish guy. I just know you are. Of course you are, Nick. Nick, you are that. Yeah. Okay, fine. Nick, that is what I peg you as. You would be in that sport. You would be the guy who's a raw dog in the Olympics with no special classes and no special anything. And you'd have like a little pistol and that's your event. What's the event called?

oh that was it's like it's something precision like small caliber or something i don't know it's like pistol shooting target shooting i i mean i'm pumped to go over there i i didn't i'm just like i i'm sorry anyway i'm pumped to go over there i love the olympics obviously like you guys i'm going to bring you back some gear which will be cool um i just wish it lasted longer

That's all. I think sports bring people together. What sport, if you had to play one, would you pick? You would be good at it. I would weirdly think that I'd be good at water polo.

Oh, oh, you know what? I think that's what they picked for me at the house. Oh, really? I think they said you look like a water polo player. Okay. I mean, man, water polo, obviously not, not, you know, right now, but if you put me in a pool with other people who hadn't been training for it, I think that I would dominate or, or, or that I'd be good. And, uh, I think if, uh, you know,

hypothetically, if I was training for four years to be a water polo player, I think I'd be pretty good, you know, with length and being like a good swimmer and things like that. Did you see Katie Ledecky? Is that how you say it?

did you see the finish when she's up she's a national treasure 10 seconds she was just there by herself just i mean how do you crush that hard like that is being a machine that doesn't get tired that's i mean she swam her hardest for 15 minutes straight that is insanity is that what it is really 1500 meters is yeah i guess it takes you

I don't know the last time that you swam actual laps, either of you, but I used to do it a bunch for exercise. And basically what I would do is that I would try to swim for 30 minutes, but that never happened, right? Because it is exhausting. You swim fucking two laps and you're sucking wind. And if you try to go for that third lap without taking a pause, I mean...

forget about it. Like, like you lose control of like, like I'd be swimming and then like I'd pee in the pool because I like lost control of like, you know, my bladder. I mean, it's like swimming is intense. It is a hell of a workout, which is why you see all these guys who's traps and, and girls who are just completely jacked. I like the skateboarder that, uh, the Brazilian girl who won, she like won gold. Did you watch that? Yeah.

All right, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back to hear about what Austin's been watching. 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 our producer, Nick Norris. We haven't talked about what we've been watching in a while, Austin. I have been a little scared to commit to anything new. I know that my brother's fiance, Anna, is watching Presumed Innocent downstairs, which a lot of people told me to watch the Jake Gyllenhaal show, but I have not yet. Sometimes courtroom dramas stress me out. My favorite is that you just call them Jake Gyllenhaal.

What's his name? Jake Gyllenhaal. Oh, Jake Gyllenhaal. Oh, yeah. I would have never gotten that right. Jake Gyllenhaal, my second favorite actor. We just watched Inside Out last night. It was Paige's first time. Inside Out 1? Yeah. Inside Out 2 is only in theaters until I think the first week in September. Have you guys seen it?

I have not seen Inside Out 2, but I've seen the first one and I am currently watching Presumed Innocent. Oh, you are? I am. Did you watch the movie, Austin? No. Oh, okay. It's an old movie. I didn't know if you watched the OG. So it's good. It's beginning to take shape. I need to watch another episode, I think, to like really get its hooks in me because I'm not there yet, but I've heard so many great things about it that I'm going to keep watching it.

Um, I went and saw twisters. Oh, you did. I did. I went and saw it in theaters as you know, one does. And, and, um,

This is no hate on any of the actors because I'm actually a Glenn Powell fan ever since I've seen Everybody Wants Some, which is Richard Linklater's sequel to Dazed and Confused. He's basically taking like the same path that McConaughey did. And this is his like rom-com era before he potentially becomes like a serious actor, which I bet that we'll see in the next few years. But Twisters was your typical summer blockbuster movie, right? And what I mean by that is like,

and and it basically did that for you know an hour and a half and that means that the budget for the film was probably high because lots of tornadoes were happening and um it was action-packed but i give it a six a six out of ten on twisters okay i'll ask you again did you see the first the og

Nick, was I born in a barn? I'm just making sure. What are you, insane? Of course I've seen it. Was it better than the Bill Pullman one? Well, the thing is, is that I think that all movies, I think that most movies, like when they try to stack up to the originals, are shit. But I bet that, I mean, you know, Twisters was...

the same, sorry, Twister was the same thing, a summer blockbuster movie, right? I'm not calling it like a masterpiece, but, but you know what, maybe it damn well was. And, and I just thought that the premise of Twisters was really funny too, Nick and Craig. Did you see Glenn Powell's essentially now just doing the remake man. He did Top Gun 2. He's done this. Now he's doing that. I was going to ask you guys how you felt about Glenn Powell, but I guess Austin, you said, yeah,

you like him i'm neutral i really liked his movie the rom-com um that he did for netflix with sydney sweeney right um but the only thing that i didn't like about that i just seem like every single movie he's in which props to him i i mean i've just he is in every single new movie that i click on the trailer he's in it so i'm excited like i'm i'm rooting for him i just i i don't it feels like

I haven't seen an actor explode like this all over the place in a long time. Yeah. Well, the thing about Anybody But You, which is the rom-com that I did see and that I actually thought were some pretty good parts in it, was the dumbass line where he goes, well, nobody's

Nobody is going to believe that we're together because who would believe that we actually like each other? And I'm just like, shut the fuck up. I'm like two handsome and beautiful people. Like, oh no, we never saw it coming. It was just such a silly, silly kind of premise for the movie being like, no one's going to believe that two gorgeous people are into each other.

No, but no one actually says it. No one actually has the balls to say that line out loud and try to get the audience to believe that. Like, yeah, no one's going to guess that these two beautiful people are going to fall into bed together. That was stupid. But if you haven't seen Everybody Wants Some, you should. It's his best movie, hands down. And that's what I'll say. I like him in Top Gun. I thought that role was fitting.

But that's what it was. I mean, it was a role. It was like a supporting role at that. That's what kicked it in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm here for it. I want to see the arc.

So you want to see him get into more serious stuff after? I just think that he will. He's making his name. He's making his name. He's making his name. He's saying yes to everything. Like, yes, yes, yes, yes. Let's do it and let's get out there and let's be like the Hollywood fucking hit man. And then I assume that at some point in the near future, he will get bored of doing the blockbusters and be like, give me something that I can sink my teeth into. Yeah.

Let's see if that happens. I mean, but that's basically what McConaughey said, you know, in his book, he was like, I mean, I just fucking entered my rom-com area and just cruise controlled. I was collecting checks. I was, you know, I was having like the time of my life, you know? And he was just like, shit, man, for 10 years, I don't even know what the hell was going on. I was just cruising. And then, and then, you know, he found his wife and did this and then was like,

all right, let's try to sink my teeth into some real films, real roles. I like thinking about how Bradley Cooper was on Wedding Crashers as like a small supporting role, but he killed it. Yeah. I mean, you look at some of these actors and yeah. And Bradley Cooper was in a couple of McConaughey movies, man. Failure to launch. Yeah. He was like a friend of, and all this stuff and completely like unserious and probably, you know, completely just cruising. And then he just,

Then he's just been decided. He was like, I am a leading man, God damn it. And that is that. And he sure as shit is. Well, I was in Nashville last week with my parents for the first time. Love seeing everyone at that store. Why don't you tell us your Tropop news, Austin? Well, thank you, Craig. Yeah, guys, so...

When you listen to this podcast, Trial Pop will be available for purchase and we can ship directly to your doorstep, which I'm very excited to announce. We have made it happen and jumped through all of the red tape to make it happen. So we can ship to 47 states and I know that some of you are probably like, oh, well,

I'm assuming that the states that you can't ship to are like Alaska and Hawaii. And that's true. Randomly, Michigan is on that list. I don't know why. I'm sorry, people of Michigan, but I cannot ship drop off to Michigan still. But for everyone that does not live in Michigan, yeah, just go to drop up here.com and you can place an order. And that would be would make my heart happy.

That's it. That's amazing. Congratulations. I think that'll be a lot of fun. I see Nick playing on his phone. You told us you're recently into Pokemon Go. That's pretty funny. Oh, yeah. I'm sorry. I was looking up Michigan alcohol laws. Yeah, no. My cousin, or cousin, one of my best friends, his son got all of us into it. Now we're all hooked. Yeah.

The last time I played it, it was 2016. I pulled it up, you know, when it first came out and then just opened it up and now we're all into it.

so it's a bunch of grown-ass men and one like seven-year-old running around playing pokemon go well yeah i mean it was an incredibly clever design to get a peek into every single house in the new country now the chinese are just spying on everything doesn't they don't need they have every camera can be turned on without you knowing but

But at the time it was really, you were opening your camera and the app developers were able to see in any, any house with it. I watched that video I sent you the other day. Which one? The one about the mop. Oh yeah.

That guy's great. I love him. I watch him on TikTok a lot. Basically, Austin, is like take your robotic mop or vacuum. It's made by a Chinese company. So when you attach it to Wi-Fi so that you can use all of its

that sends it directly, that's operated by a Chinese server. Like that's how the wifi in that machine works. It's from China that that's where the server is. And so China, as long as they can connect to your wifi can then go into any device connected to your home wifi. So they'll use that vacuum, that coffee maker,

anything like that to get into your phone or computer and stuff. So basically if you have wifi in your home and you use a foreign made object, um, which a lot of our technology in our houses are, uh, they, that government can look right into your stuff. So the message to take from this is don't log into a,

Just move off the grid. Yeah, yeah. There's no way around it. No, he's great. He's a white hat hacker. And I wish we – Nick, can you pull his name up real quick so I can tell people? But his stories are incredible. I'm pretty sure he was one of the hackers that got caught, and now he does stuff for our government as like a tradeout, kind of like the show White Collar. Because he stops himself all the time. He's like, I can't tell you that. But what I can tell you is this, this, and this. Oh, yeah.

What does he have, like a YouTube channel? He goes on like...

he gets interviewed a lot yeah there's like one guy in particular that he goes on with i always forget the guy's name who the guy that does all the delta force guys yeah yeah he's good um anyway i like pokemon that's the game that i play on my switch the most is the pokemon game i have an emulator on my phone so i can play all the old school like pokemon gold silver and all those types of games

The only Pokemon game I ever played was on my Game Boy. And, you know, either the blue cartridge or the red cartridge. And that shit was awesome. But that was a long time ago. That's what the emulator does also. It turns your phone into like a Game Boy. Oh, hell yeah. So you can play all the old games. Oh, man. I would crush that.

I remember a couple years ago, I bought a Game Boy Color, right? I don't know why. I just like got on a kick and I was like, you know what? I'm going to go on Amazon. And I bought a Game Boy Color and I bought like a bunch of games for it. And I probably played Man Pokemon for like hours and hours and hours and hours. And then one day I put it in a drawer and just haven't touched it since. And that was like three or four years ago, which is pretty funny.

He's pretty funny to think about. He's probably sitting around somewhere. And it came with like 20 games. And I was just like, what am I doing? There's so much better fucking technology. I don't have to play this old Game Boy Color. Brian Montgomery is the guy's name, Craig. Yeah, he's great. All right, y'all. We will see you next week. Thanks for tuning in. We love you always, even if we don't have, even though we're different than other podcasts, that's what makes us us. So until next time. Bye, besties.
