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 a definite use when 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.

Timeline is offering 10% off your first order of Mito Pure. Go to timeline.com slash pillowsandbeer. That's T-I-M-E-L-I-N-E dot com slash pillowsandbeer.

Welcome to this episode of Pillows and Beer. I'm in Charleston.

living room next to the fire uh with austin grove who's also in charleston not next to a fire which we're also joined by our producer nick norris usually has a fire but i guess he doesn't today 65 degrees here yeah damn nick i'm so surprised it's so warm there it's very chilly today and uh

it's gonna be pushing like 80 degrees this weekend here well well to touch on the fireplace thing i am having our good friend rod uh help me with an installation for my tv so i'm putting like a pallet like a pallet wall that i'm going to mount my tv to and then i'm going to put

an electric fireplace at the bottom there. So I'm pretty excited about that. Like I might even put like a rug, you know, underneath the electric fireplace so I can, I don't know, lay next to the fire. We all know what that means, Austin. Yeah, yeah. But so that is exciting to be installed right in time for spring in Charleston.

But yeah, man, I'm going to get an electric fireplace. But Nick, dude, you're a fires. You're fires. Yeah. Do not save it for the show. Do it before or you'll never get it done. Listen, I saved. So I have a three bedroom house for others that don't know. And my two guest rooms upstairs, I let sit for about a year and a half. We know about the guest rooms. Yeah.

Right. Okay. Yes. And look, I don't care what anyone says. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't care what anyone says. I've had lots of people who have had, you know, sleepovers and, and, and never, you know, I never thought that it would get to that point. And, you know, chef hadn't cheated five times, then I wouldn't have gotten to that fucking point. But anyways, I, it was like, man, mattresses on the ground and,

And so Rod came in during filming and we filmed the whole thing. Right. You know, he, he, you know, he had carte carte blanche. I mean, like I told him some things that like I wanted and this and that. And I was like, Hey man, you know, you know, here's, here's the code to my house. And just,

Just come in and out. So sometimes, man, I'd be sitting on the couch and like, you know, he he would open the door and be like, what's up, bitch? And then I'd be like, all right. Hey. And like you'd run upstairs and drop off some shit and then leave. Right. So, man, he was in and out all the time. And then he gave me like a grand reveal. And this is all filmed, Craig, like big body cameras. You know, it was this whole arc of like, what do you want? And let's go shopping together. And, you know, we did. We filmed all this stuff.

Because you could have came out to Rod and they would have featured your entire design and Rod would have become a main character. Could have, you know, come out to Rod as gay or with the Taylor situation? Well, either one, I think, would have an equal effect, your scandal or coming out. I feel like if I was going to come out, I would come out...

Holy shit, man. I'd probably test it on you first, you know, and test it. I mean the knowledge on, on you would, you would think you were testing me, but like your soft way of doing it, I would know instantly. Um, and be like, yeah, I think I would come out to Andy. Yeah. No, true. Andy, I have something more. I'm talking more of like a, no, if you had to tell someone on the show. Yeah. Yeah.

I would come out to Paige. What about that? I would come out to Paige. What if she was like, she'd be like, I know, dude. Okay. Well, first off, yes. And, and, and that'd be funny as hell. But, but what if Paige was like, you know what? I know. And I'm fine with it. Like, I like what we have going on and let's just, you know, continue to be together. She's like, I want you as my gay bestie.

Yeah, I think we would be gay besties, but she'd probably move on to a straight man, which, you know, I don't blame her. I don't blame her for wanting to date. Who was the last person that you would come out to?

i'm trying to think of who would be the denier you know being like oh you're just confused um i don't think well if you came out to shep he would listen for about five seconds and then start talking about himself you know right dude right school i had this friend who did the same thing you know and you're like and his nickname was gross which is a true story he used to call a guy at boarding school him and his friends used to call this guy in boarding school gross because he was

I mean, apparently he was gross and that's what they called him. Anyways. I feel like we have a pretty tolerant cast. Yeah. But being tolerant, you know, like Shep can't help the fact that he's just like a hyper fucking masculine male. You know, he's like kill shit, drink shit, fuck shit. You know, that's what I know.

Yeah, and I... He doesn't have an accent like that. And obviously, he doesn't treat...

anyone different at all right but I don't think he would understand it I don't think he would understand it as much as other people he'd be like alright cool that's for you but like there wouldn't be any conversation there he would be fine I actually think that he wouldn't be shocked whatsoever if either one of us were to come out he'd be like see see he'd be like I knew it you guys are girls I've been saying it you know to Whitney for fucking years

Oh boy. We like to have fun. We like to have fun guys. That's season dude. Hold on. Can I, can I just tell you that I'm drinking a glass of wine today? I feel like I haven't drank something on P and D and ages. You're getting a glass of wine, Craig, because I went to the Verizon store to just bite the bullet and buy out the rest of my contract of my iPhone 13 and just buy an iPhone 15. And it was fucking stressful, man. Um,

To buy out the rest of my contract, which was for 18 more months, apparently. So I guess that I've had my iPhone 13 for a year and a half. For 18 more months, it was like 500 bucks. Three year contracts? Yeah. What? Mine's 12 months. It's absurd. Well, you have Verizon. Yeah. Wait, how much did they charge you? So to buy out the rest of my contract was 500 and something bucks.

And then I just had to pay taxes and fees or whatever. So I walked out of there with like $735 to get the new iPhone. And it wasn't that I desperately wanted the new iPhone. I mean, I would have been totally fine with my 13, but my back camera was completely cracked and I couldn't even hear anymore. The only way that I could hear people is if I put them on speakerphone and or

I put in my AirPods, right? And so it just kind of got to the point where I was like, I need a new phone. Well, that's absurd. Yeah. Yeah. And then he promptly, he was like, oh, wait, on your thing, you have insurance. Do you want to order the iPhone 13 for $99? And I just learned what the term freaking girl math was, Craig.

are you aware with what girl math is nick or craig yeah yeah i didn't know this right and so yeah yeah three month old thing yeah yeah and so i quickly or i promptly texted you know my family and katie was like well

you know, the new phone is $99 or, or sorry, the 13 is $99 and then you would pay 700 for the old. So, you know, girl math, you know, you're only paying fucking 600 bucks. I was like, okay, you had $500 left of an iPhone 13 contract. Yeah. Was it like a $10 a month? Yeah. My, my payment was my payment on the phone was $18 a month.

Yeah, I think someone took advantage of you. Craig, it's Verizon, bro. Like, it's just the same thing. I've been doing this thing for like 14 years with Verizon, and I'm like, boop.

Dude. And I just like go on down the line. But I only owed like $250 on my iPhone 14 that I've only had for like six months. Okay. Well, kind of like you said, you're doing like a 12-month thing where like it makes my monthly payment less if I do. Look, Craig, it's all very scientific, okay? It's above my pay grade. But you can afford the shorter plan. You get the new phone more often.

I am not saying that I sat there today and re-upped for a three-year contract. I don't know. You know, it's just stressing me out, man, more than they did at Verizon. Wait, why was it stressful? Well, it was stressful because, okay, Craig, we had just come from the gym. Yeah, dude, you got to put the mic up next to your face. I keep forgetting it.

Otherwise, our besties can't hear anything that you're saying. So we had just come from the gym and then I did the sauna and I did the cold bath for the first time in ages, right? So my shorts are like kind of wet still. And I sit down and he begins to transfer over this. And then he's like, all right, man, well, what do you do? And I was like, oh, shit. So we have this like 25-minute combo. It's this guy, you know, he...

you know, he looked the part, man, you know, he had on like a shirt and tie and, you know, like, I mean, he looks really nice. Right. And I was like, okay, man, I mean, you're killing it. And we began to talk about the fact that I'm opening like a bar on King street. And I was like, oh man, like, are you familiar with downtown? And he was like, oh yeah, man, you know, I, I, you know, got to get away from that place. And I was like, ha, I hear you, brother. You know, like I had that realization a couple of years ago and

And then we're talking for a little longer and he was like, I just need to grow up. You know, it's like, you know, it's time to grow up. And I was like, here you man, like we're on the same path here. And then, and then I was like, how old are you? Motherfucker was 24 years old. I was like, you need to grow up. I was like, dude, you need to grow down or, you know, whatever. Like you are at the prime of your life. I can't believe you just said that. And that makes me laugh because I'm,

I realized that at age 32. But yeah, he was asking me questions. And I hadn't eaten, Craig. And I just was like, I just want to get out of here. Not that he was doing anything wrong. He was a really cool guy. But what took 45 minutes? I guess just to transfer over the data. You did that in the store? Yeah. Yeah.

Your Verizon experience is wild. It sounds like someone's grandfather going into the store. Why wouldn't you do it at home? Yeah. I, I, I like, I realize that now, you know, after I have like a full belly and like a glass of wine in me, I realized that I most certainly should have taken it home. Use that pre pre package to send it off to the factory or whatever. But I, I,

I don't know, man. I don't know. Because I walked in there with the mentality of like, take my credit card, give me the new phone. Good day. Yeah. That's not what happened to me, except they didn't have any when I went. So it ended up having to get mailed to me and it was a whole thing. And then I was like, how many times have I erased this phone properly? I mean, in that day, you know, I was like, I actually considered just taking my phone to the bridge and throwing it off. Yeah.

No, it's actually still in my drawer. See? Wait, why, man? Because you get that rebate. My phone, dude, was all cracked on the back. Yeah, I forgot to like, I don't know. I have a secondary phone now. Okay. Okay. Because it runs my house. So anyone out there that like is giving me shit, Craig has his. He didn't mail in free money.

Yeah, but if you don't need it, like he just said, my uncle uses it to run his whole, like all the Bluetooth speakers, everything is run through the phone. You use it still? Yeah, mine, it controls my house. I don't know how to, like, I have to get my tech people to come move it to my new phone.

right but it electrocutes me though that's why i went to get a new phone it electrocutes me every time i freaking touch it and i fell asleep next to it the other day and i was like oh man this is what i was like avoiding so things i didn't expect craig to say right before i was about to take a commercial break it electrocutes me every time i go near it conflab it i want to give people uh

There's two questions I can answer about the cell phones. One is the memory increase because it always costs a lot more money to jump. I think I have the two 50. I would not go lower than that because I have never had to delete photo. I've never pulled my camera out in a time of picture taking and had my memory be full anymore. Wait, why is there a thumbs up on this? What is that? Thumbs up. What did you just do? Craig?

Wait, does mine do that? The YouTube people will see this. No, it doesn't. I need to put my hat on. Do a thumbs down, Craig.

Apparently, these stream yards updated their stuff. So I think investing in more memory is good because then you can have movies on it for traveling. You can do a lot of stuff offline. You don't have to go crazy or berserk with your memory. Yeah, yeah. So you did the max. You did the max, which is the 256, man, which is what I did. I just...

But here's the reason I did the Max was the camera. Because my last phone, I accidentally didn't get the Max. And if a camera is important to you, it was actually noticeably different, which is why I actually switched from my iPhone 14 to my iPhone 13 Pro Max.

while I was waiting for my 15 to be delivered because the camera was that much better on the 13 Pro than it was on the 14 Plus.

plus so if you care about your camera you gotta get the pro which is a three and I only say that because I make it's part of my job to post stuff and take pictures for things and it was noticeably like the quality was like not good for me without the pro so if you're thinking about spending the extra money for the pro when it comes to videos and pictures it is a lot different than the plus well

Austin's like, I got the plus and it's fine. No, I got the 15 max pro. But the way that my sales associate, Cole, Cole said, Cole's got a name now. Yeah, he has a name, man. We spent some time together, you know? Are you going to cast Cole?

dude, I was sitting there, Craig, and I was talking to him. I was like, yeah, he's, he's like a handsome guy. And until he said that he was 24, until he said that he was 24, literally in my head, I was like, this guy, this guy could be good on our show. You know, he, he like, you know, kind of had it going on, you know? And I was laughing and, you know, until I wasn't. And I was like, all right, give me the fuck out of here, dude. 24 is not too old. You should send his info in. No, 24 is not too young. Yeah. Yeah. Cool.

verizon okay we're gonna take a quick break while austin text our new cast member cole

So Super Bowl week, which is the week before Valentine's Day week. Which is also the week of Craig Conover's birth. Oh, yeah. My birthday's tomorrow. Craig's birthday is on Friday. On the 9th. Yes. Yes.

so i'm gonna say it first happy birthday craig thanks buddy i mean i know that paige did i guess because your gift already got there so you told us on tuesday that she was like just open it dingus and did you open it yeah with her on the phone it was a espresso machine that i've always wanted oh right right oh man that's really nice yeah she went pretty uh good on it i i'm i ordered this

Do I need espresso beans or just coffee beans? Because I ordered espresso beans, but then I was like, did I just get taken? No, that's if you want it to act like real espresso. Well, yeah. Nick, I didn't get an espresso maker to make fucking drip coffee. Well, then you answered your own question, Craig. You bought an espresso maker to buy espresso beans. Yeah, but people like regular coffee, though. I didn't answer my own question. I said, do I need espresso beans or coffee beans? And Nick said...

Well, if you want real espresso, then you have to buy espresso beans. Correct. So he answered the question. Yes, but I'm not saying it like that. But he said it in a dumb way. Yeah, but I mean people use different types of coffee beans for their espresso. But real espresso beans are going to give you that actual espresso kick. Some people like just the shot of coffee. I do not. I like drinking lattes. I like drinking lattes in the morning. That's espresso. I'm assuming that this thing can make a decent latte. Okay.

Yeah, that's, well, that's, yeah, it does. It does. No, it's got, it's, it has the milk container. So like it actually infuses it with the steamed milk. Oh, there you go.

Yeah, it's like the next time that I come over, we're going to give this thing a whirl. Yeah, it's intimidating. Picture the kicking and screaming espresso maker that he gets for the sideline. I want to make a meme about Craig using his espresso maker. Nick, are you going to say happy birthday? No, I'm waiting until you're actual, but you're going to get a text from me at 1201. All right. Okay. Well...

So Super Bowl week, I just want to get this off my chest just right away. And first off is that I think that the Manning brothers are just way too fucking exposed. Like their overexposure is driving me fucking crazy.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? The Manning brothers. What's wrong with the Manning brothers? Peyton and Eli. Dude, they are the goofiest, dumbest. Like, their whole shtick is like, look how white that we are. Like, everything about them.

I just, oh man. And I met Eli, right? I met Eli at a Discovery property and he couldn't have been nicer. You know, a wonderful man. A wonderful and kind man. But that doesn't mean that I want to see him on every single sport. He's the coach for the Pro Bowl. He's hosting his own this. He's hosting his own that. He's dressing up and all. See, I like Manny Cash over the normal Monday night stuff. I prefer their stuff over the normal...

Nick, Nick, and that's fine because you have to tune in to watch them, right? It's not being forced down your throat every time that you turn on your ESPN. It's like they have their own thing. Just like, look, man, if you don't like Pat, Patman McAfee, then don't watch his show. You know, then don't watch, you know, his 30 minutes have, you know, hour long show each day, like blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But like,

Manning brothers are just, I mean on, not just on every commercial, but every third is everywhere, man. Just the overexposure for, well, you know, it's funny because I don't watch ESPN or sports center. I never see the Manning brothers.

So it is crazy how different. I don't watch ESPN, by the way, just like, you know, keep it on. But like you watch anything. I don't have anything against ESPN. It's just the repetitiveness of SportsCenter when I was a child, them talking about the same thing over and over and over every hour. It's not really that way anymore unless there's like a huge breaking thing. But yes, I remember, like, I know what you're talking about. I've fallen asleep to ESPN in my younger years.

like in my college years and I was just like, oh my God, they are doing the same thing over and over and over again. Wow. So I, I, I appreciate your comment. I don't really have much to say. I feel like I see Peyton on commercials, but I don't see Eli that often. You don't see Eli really. I mean, he's on a couple, you know, Peyton's on everything. And I say Mahomes and Kelsey are way worse.

Yeah, but they're playing and they're at the top of their game. And like, you know, they deserve it. They're still in every freaking commercial though. And it's just like, now they're in like a sidekick commercial and everything. And it's just like, I was watching, I was watching this podcast, actually. The podcast clip where JJ Watt, the old great...

defensive end who basically played his whole career with the Texans, right? Yeah. Or the Cardinals. No, he was tied with the Cardinals. That's why he's got a house. Anyways, he was basically like the Patrick Mahomes or like the Travis Kelsey of when he was playing. And he was like, my...

base was on every commercial and this and that. And he was like, the over the exposure of it all was real. And people, you know, were hating, hating, hating. And he was like, okay, I'm going to slow down and say no to some, you know, commercials. But he's like, how was I supposed to say no to like these six figure contracts, you know, coming in? He was like, nobody, not, not you, not you, not you would, would say no to that, you know, six, six figure contracts. And I'm like, no, damn dude, you're right. So,

i mean i'm not getting six figure manning payton's probably getting seven figures from like nation for some of these other ones sure and like the aflacs and things like that i mean i don't know i do not like them i just been tired of seeing their face you know everywhere much like no i get what you're talking about i'll probably see someone tonight on television where i'm like

this person's everywhere i don't like when they change the main characters in commercials that's personally what bothers me um liberty yeah like god you know what really gets me if they replace someone in a tv show and like they just they don't try to do that anymore but like you'd be watching seventh heaven and all of a sudden like you know tamra's is someone new um

Yeah. You're like, yeah, that's not my camera. They did that with the, no man. Yeah. Dude, that, that 70 show, dude, they did it with, with, you know, Lori, you know, the slutty sister. I was like, wow. Yeah. You're like, who's that?

They've done that in a bunch of... Actually, they do that more often than you think. In Marvel Universe, man, they did it with, you know, Rhodey, man. Well, that's because he wanted more money and they were like... They had Man Terrence and then all of a sudden they didn't even explain it. They could have been like, Rhodey died. This is the next in command and his name is Bodhi. You know, it was like, wait, so you just put a different black dude in for Terrence Howard? They were like, no you don't.

Yeah. Don, Don Cheadle is like a very famous guy. Wait, right. Was it Don Cheadle? Yes, yes, yes. He's who replaced Terrence. He's a very famous guy. Like, like, like we wouldn't notice. Have you seen last man standing? Well, they were, well, she, she bet the wrong horse that I felt bad for her. No,

No. What happened? Because they replaced her a couple of people. So they switched networks. What's Last Base Danny? That's Tim Allen's show. It's a fun one. It's like a Bass Pro Shops. Yeah, he's super conservative and half the family is liberal and everything. So it kind of all goes together. But she left because COVID happened and the network dropped it because they dropped a bunch of shows. And then Fox picked it up, but there was a year gap. And she got some small movie roles offered to her.

So when they started filming Last Man Standing, she was doing the movies and they're like, well, it's either you got to pick the movies or you got to pick the show. And her agent, I think, talked her into doing movies and not doing three more seasons of a top-selling show. Yeah. If you've got a nightly or a weekly sitcom on a main –

like channel i just don't see how you give that up like i know you want like the bright lights of movies and like i don't know this situation at all but like my dream is like i think it would be so fun not dream but like to be on a sitcom that you film over and over and over all these like seasons like my and your money's gotta be great standing fans we were like what is going on here like you should mention this man because craig dude you and i have talked about

Going to NBC upfronts and things like that. And we've talked to besties about it. And then I began to watch that show. I mean, this is us and it's about Justin Hartley. Well, it's not like about, you know, he's one of the main characters and he is a regular on a sitcom until he finally, you know, until he quits, which is like the first episode. So it's not really giving anything away. And that is exactly what you're talking about here, man, being like a regular on a sitcom and two, but you're, you're like a sitcom lover, correct? Like,

Craig has his shows. You used to, at least. I used to. I got burned out. Superstore was one of those. I was like, man, who actually watches Superstore? The car one was almost worse than Superstore. What's the car one?

American Auto I think it's called and you'll die it's like uh was it a sitcom was it scripted like it's like Superstore yeah American Auto what I've never heard of this that's kind of like Man Tim Allen show I know that it's popular too American Auto sitcom it's on yeah American Auto yeah see I love our NBC show Superstore was NBC too yeah um

NBC, I'll come to one of your silly shows. Oh, Humphrey Kerr is one of the guys. He's one of the guys in Wrexham, like his buddy that helps him from the Mythic Quest show. He's a star in it. Mythic Quest, that's a wild show, too.

That's a good one. I like that. See, I've never heard of this. That's on Apple. Mythic Quest? You've never seen Mythic Quest? Mythic Quest is wild. It sounds like Viking Quest. No, no. It's like an entourage. It's Macklehead. It's Grandma's Boy. Yeah, it's Grandma's Boy, but a TV show. I mean, it's about a video game company, and it's Mack from Always Sunny is the main character. Yeah, it's rival. Is this old as shit? No, this is like new. They're going into their fourth season. Couple seasons. Yeah. How?

How have you not seen this one? I will put that on top of your list, Austin. Yeah, is it on FX? Apple. Mythic Quest. Okay, because I just bought an Apple membership to watch this one show, The Buccaneers, and I flew through it. And I was like, okay, well, now I'm just like an Apple Plus member. So what other shows can I watch? This is good. This is good to know. Mythic Quest.

Should we take another commercial break and then we'll come back to round out this. Our Super Bowl stuff. Our picks and everything. Our top of the week podcast. Craig gave it the thumbs up again. Craig gave it the thumbs up. And then the little thing went up too. Yeah, there it is. All right, besties. We'll see you in a sec after a word from our sponsors.

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.

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.

Timeline is offering 10% off your first order of Mito Pure. Go to timeline.com slash pillowsandbeer. That's T-I-M-E-L-I-N-E dot com slash pillowsandbeer.

All right, besties, and welcome back to this week's episode of this Tuesday's episode, wait, Thursday's episode of Pillows and Beer. Craig's birthday is tomorrow. The Super Bowl is on Sunday, and I'm drinking a glass of wine, and I'm just kind of downloading with my buddies here.

I want to, excuse me, I want to add to the wine discussion because this very kind company sent me a case of the most intriguing wine. We connected on Instagram and it's called Avaline and it's vegan friendly.

There's no concentrates, no artificial colors, no sugar added. And it's a cozy evening. It pairs well with a cozy evening with friends around the table. I think this is the one that you're hanging out. Avaline. Avaline. I think it's the clean wine that doesn't give you hangovers. It's from France. That's why.

Really? Yeah. So the reason is, Greg. Yeah, I just looked it up. Okay. I was like, did they send you wine too, Nick? Well, if they're listening, please send me wine. I always take wine. But yeah, no, it's the reason French wine doesn't give you hangovers because they can't use food coloring like American wines can.

And preserve it. It's like illegal. Yeah. It's pretty much like they can't use fake artificial flavoring. American food's so bad for you. And now we're trying to fucking ban half of it. But look. I...

have to just like agree with that and i have a story but but i won't you know launch into it until you're finished okay i the reason that i bring this up is because i'm going to save this to taste with you and maybe of nicks down but this just sounds so fun to me it is a red spottle of what appears to be champagne so a red sparkling wine it's called lombrusco sparkling wine and

Ever Vesant with notes of plum, but it's a pairs well to a toast to friends old and new, but a red sparkling wine. I mean, how fun I like, again, this isn't sponsored, but I love a chilled red and like a sparkling chilled red. How I just think that sounds really cool. Greg, I have a question for you. I don't think we've talked about this in the podcast. We've talked about it, not on a podcast for besties, you know, all around the country. Would you, would,

It's about traders near the show. We haven't talked about it on the podcast, have we, Nick? We have not. We talked about it on the show in Phoenix. Since everyone's loving on traders so much, right? And I've been texted and messaged and blah, blah, blah. And I've seen Craig being tagged in like a thing or two. And I've seen Paige. Would you say yes, Craig, if traders came knocking on your door? I feel like this is a great topic to end with.

Yeah, if the money – well, here's the catch-22. I think that being on Traders is more about – it's about more than just the money, man, because it's like swept the nation. I mean it's so popular and it's almost like a cool thing to have under your belt rather than like I made X amount of money from it.

No, and that's why I... Okay, so I have to... What's it called? Regress? What do you say when you want to go backwards? Rewind? I mean, rewind's a good one, but... Whatever. I thought you were talking about something else because we've talked about this before. Traders, the NBC show or Peacock show? Yes. Yeah, I don't think there would be...

I think you're right. I think the exposure from that is their gift, right? They're like, hey, this is the number one show. If you would like to come be on it, great. If not, there's going to be someone else. That's just supply and demand. I would because when we talked about this –

It came up briefly at our live show in Phoenix. I didn't know because I haven't watched Traders and I thought it was a little too Big Brother-ish, which it's not. But in my head, I was like...

really don't want to have to keep up like alive for a long time or like fuck people over too bad and then when we asked Paige she was like I'm signed up and ready to go Craig whatever you want like you're an idiot she apparently watches on her own I didn't know she lived this secret life without me but you know hold on so like Craig was not saying that Paige is signed on for season three she's saying that that

that she would if they came and and and and that she would want to be I mean she didn't even hesitate she was like oh a traitor for sure that's what I would want to be

So I think I was thinking a little too heavy into it of being like, I'm going to fuck someone over for the rest of their lives. And you're like, it is a game. And if you treat it just like a board game or a video game, then just go play the game. And I think it would be an honor to be asked. So, yes, at this point, I hope that the network didn't even hear that. I was like, I don't really know, because at this point I'm 100 percent in. How about you?

And I haven't watched, apparently I really should. And if it's on Peacock, then I need to just watch it. You know what? Maybe that's what I'll do. Because if the whole country freaking loves it, then it's obviously like a banger of a show. And I know that Paige loves it. And so that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to watch it. But I think that I'd be a fool to say no.

I mean, I never say no. I like that. That's entirely true. You know, but we Craig's thumbs up right there. It's not coming. I thought it would give me a thumbs up. Yeah. I like don't want to, you know, perpetuate, you know, the thing that everyone, you know, said about me in season nine. But like, I think that I could keep a lie going and and I'd be a good player. Yeah. But what a good good at lying.

I mean, I won't even answer that. We'll just let our besties kind of decipher for themselves. You know, I don't think they'd want to be the traitor though. Because I think that you would know. Yeah.

You would know in a freaking heartbeat, dude. Like, I think that you'd be like, you know, the whole, you know, Austin fucking looked down into the left thing. Like, I don't know if that's actually true or not. I would be too good at being a traitor. It would freak everyone out. Like, I mean, I would...

i would i have to watch this game but like because everyone there's a strategy to it though i feel like craig would be voted off in like the first week yes see that might be true because they're like craig is like it's too much of like a quote-unquote you know sweetie that we don't trust him for a fucking second you know i mean yeah well i have to watch because fuck it i'll go on there and like

Stir some shit up. But yeah, I mean, obviously there's way more to the game than that. But you got to like... I mean, dude, Vegas should do odds on... Like, what are the odds of one of the three of us getting asked for season three? Like, those odds have got to be... What is that? What are the odds on that at least one of the three of us get asked for season three of Traders? That would be...

Really? Between who? Me, you, and Taylor? No. What? Me, you, and Paige. Oh, sorry. I don't know why. I don't either. Because you guys were in the group. I would bet on that. I'd take the over if you're going to go that way. Well, no. It has to be like a plus or minus. I would take the odds. I would say it doesn't have to be next season. This seems like one that's going to last for a while.

Yeah, I think it's probably a season four thing. Okay. See? That's why Vegas could have some odds on it. Over, under. Craig Austin Page, under fifth season, over the fifth season. No, man. Under. I say under. And they film... Remember when Kyle did it? He filmed in Europe or whatever? Yeah, he did it with Kate. They filmed in Ireland, bro. They filmed in Ireland at a sick-ass castle. Would be honored...

to be asked and no I mean I'm gonna fucking I'm that's what I'm gonna do I've never I'm a yes guy so um speaking of pages shows last night she was like I've got nothing to watch I've got nothing to watch I've got nothing to watch and she's like maybe this Friday night lights just keeps coming up and I keep saying I'm gonna give it a chance blah blah and then I was like well Austin

I said, you and Austin have the same taste in shows and Austin loves it. And she was like, does he really? And I said, yes. And she goes, okay, then I'm going to watch it. And then she started Friday Night Live. Okay. I'm going to text her and see what she thinks about it. Because you guys love the same. See, I don't like Friday Night Live.

Nick, that's because you were a nerd in high school. No, I'm kidding. It kind of just like died off for me after a few seasons. Okay. Well, she is going to be gripped for season one, two, three. Agreed. That's what I'm going to say. And she's going to come for Tim Riggins and she's going to stay for Tim Riggins. That's what Paige is going to do.

Okay, so let's talk about our real life. Dude, Nick. Nick, man, if Craig begins to grow out his hair when season 10 begins filming and Craig's got shoulder length hair, then he heard it here first. It's because Paige is obsessed with Friday Night Lights. And he's like, well, I'm going to wear some cowboy boots and grow out my hair real quick. Okay, well, yeah. Okay.

They have Cross. DraftKings has Cross. I'm on DraftKings right now. I...

I don't know what I'm going to do with who I'm picking yet because I want the 49ers to win, but I think Taylor Swift's going to win. So I don't know what I'm going to do. So I want to look at the novelty props. There's some golf plus Super Bowl props because the Phoenix Open is going on. Is Scheffler to be the first round leader or Kittle to score the first touchdown in Super Bowl?

13. Yes, it's not 13. I don't like that because I don't think, I mean, Kittle. Is Kittle going to be the first person to score or the first person to score the Niners? That's going to be Kelsey. Kelsey. Okay, here's the prop bets. Coin toss. I am going tails even though something in my head is telling me head, but I'm going tails. What about you guys? Dude, I couldn't care. Man, tails. Okay, Gatorade color.

Blue. I'm going orange. I am too. Orange is plus 300. Blue is plus 350.

What's the top pick? I don't know what that means. I don't know what skorigami means either. Purple? Let me tell you what skorigami means because I think that you guys would like it. Well, let me hear your Gatorade question. Purple is the top. Clear is the least. Yeah. Clear, dude. Who wants clear in their thing? Okay. Skorigami. Skorigami is when the game ends in an unconventional like

Score type, right? So, you know. Okay, you guys lost Auburn. Two to four. What the fuck does that even mean? We didn't lose Auburn. I'm talking about. We beat Auburn, you moron. And so if the game ends, you know, like in an unconventional way,

uh score so not like you know added up by sevens and threes so you know like 11 to 2 score gummy you know that's that's you know what it is so basically you have to you have to factor in like a missed extra point or a safety or something of of that oh i would bet that because the niners kicker sucks well dude it doesn't happen very often but it does happen

It says that if either team kicks a game-winning field goal at the end of normal time, plus 800, well, an offensive lineman score TD, plus 4,000. And then you have all of these most trips to opponent's red zone, time of first possession, over 3 minutes and 15 seconds.

or under three minutes and 15 seconds time of first possession that's pretty good about the national that is about the national anthem craig what's what's the over under for that because for all those listening yes you keep moving that on how long i don't even know who's singing it what's an octopus reba is doing the uh i'm going over yeah

Reba is going to belt out some longer at C's. I think it was at 89.5 last time I looked. It keeps moving. It started at 83 and then it went up to like 93 seconds. But now I think it's back down to 89 seconds. There's all these Swifty bets. It's plus 200, I think, for... What's a Swifty bet, Craig? I bet that besties is 100. This is what I was telling you about. It's all like songs. Any...

Any quarter to have 22 points scored blank space. Kelsey, Travis Kelsey to score an octopus. I don't know what that means. I see octopus, octopus, trafficking, but hold on. Let me look at it. When the same player scores a touchdown and the ensuing two point conversion.

Oh, wow. So then Travis has to score, but then he also has to text the two-point conversion. Okay. Well, man, how about this? How about let's just talk about like a few things that we want to bet on. So a couple of prop bets. If the over-under for Reba is 90 seconds, then I want the under. The coin toss is heads. The Gatorade color is that you and Nick said. We said orange. Okay. So if you say orange, okay, man, then I'll go orange.

And I want to talk about... Stay blue. The first... Well, I mean, it's like we're all going to go in together, but if we're going to be separate... Travis Kelsey scoring the first touchdown is plus 750. I think it would be... I like that. That's a good one. I like that a lot. And now, what about... The first score or the first touchdown? What about the overall bet, gentlemen? Who is winning the game? Who does the NFL want to win the game? I like Craig said, I think...

I think the Niners' luck is up. I think the horseshoe's shoved up. Brock Purdy's ass is going to fall out. And I think the Chiefs win. Yeah, I do too. I think the Chiefs are going to win. I think they win on a walk-off field goal. I think the Chiefs win. But since I'm going to bet on this, I'm the worst bettor of all time apparently.

So I'm going to go the opposite of what I think. And I'm going to say that Niners win money line. I'm saying Niners win money line, which means they just have to win. Right. But I mean, it's only a two point spread. I'd probably bet on that. So I'm so, so I do think that the chiefs are going to win, but because I truly think that I'm going the opposite of what I think. And so Niners hoist it. That's what I think.

All right. Well, you heard it here first, guys. And I hope you have. I hope you can see Craig on whatever stream. Whoever watches it on YouTube. Craig is lounging hard and is cracking me up. The Super Bowl being watched from the home, one art bowl out. They crushed everything else. So I hope you have fun watching the Super Bowl wherever you watch it. Be safe.

Use Uber or Lyft to not drink and drive or a DD. Or if you have a pregnant wife, that's a good DD. But don't make her leave the house. Use the computer to drive you around. The next time that we record, Craig's going to be 36 years old. So, hey. I forgot how old I was yesterday. No, no, no. No, I was just trying to tell you I forgot how old I was yesterday. And I said, Siri, how old is Craig Caldwell? It answered? Yeah.

Nice. And then I had to add a year. I was going to say, Siri, how old is Eric Conover? Google says you're 34. Looks like you're 35 years old. Oh, wow. I got six. No, wait. Google says 34 years old. I feel young. I feel young again. 36 feels young. I'm excited for this year. And thank you all for coming on this journey.
