The podcast features a blend of sports commentary, financial analysis, and personal anecdotes centered around the 2026 New York Knicks championship win. The hosts discuss the absurdly high costs associated with events like the World Cup—such as $1,190 average ticket prices, $300 parking fees, and $18.99 for a cup of beer—calling them examples of price gouging. They also reflect on the massive, emotionally charged celebration in New York City, highlighting fan reactions, public festivities, and even minor incidents like fireworks and school bus fires. The conversation expands to include personal stories, such as a toilet usage challenge and a humorous face-rating experiment with AI, while also celebrating other cultural moments like Justin Gaethje’s UFC victory and the U.S. hosting the World Cup. Additional segments spotlight fan engagement, including shout-outs to fans and a membership program where members receive recognition. The episode concludes with a festive tone, celebrating American culture, sports, and community spirit, while maintaining a light-hearted, relatable, and slightly satirical tone throughout. It also promotes Michelob Ultra as a beer brand that offers access to sporting events and Lowe’s as a solution for fast, in-store material quotes.

How much does it actually cost to go to the World Cup?
Probably a lot of money, Brian.
Okay, I have a few things here.
I want you to guess how much they actually cost.
Okay, let's do it.
How much is the average ticket price across North America?
Across North America, the average ticket price.
I just said that.
You're a big repeater.
Sometimes I repeat things.
No, always.
Well, no, I'm doing it because you tell me I don't listen.
So if I repeat it back to you, it processes.
That's why I'm doing it.
It's like we're in third grade, folks.
I have to.
Sometimes you have to repeat it.
Hmm.
I'm going to say it costs, what, $500?
No, why don't you double that?
Double that, $1,000.
Why don't you add $190 to that?
$1,190.
$1,190 is the average ticket price.
I mean, that's insane.
That just seems stupid to me.
I don't know if I'd ever pay that.
How much is a bottled water when you go to a game?
A bottled water when you go to a game.
I think when you typically go to a football game.
He's back to repeating things.
You don't realize you do it after everything I tell you.
Yeah, yeah.
Like every single thing almost.
I'm trying to process it in my brain.
A bottle of water must cost, at a normal game, like $8.
World Cup, $10.
Okay, it's $6.
$5.99.
Okay.
You think that's a deal?
No, I don't think that's a deal.
It's water.
That's a human right.
It should be $1.
The tap should be free.
The tap is free.
Didn't know that.
That's why they have water fountains.
Okay.
How much is a private World Cup suite?
A suite at the World Cup?
Yes.
So this is like the celebrities are buying these.
The high-end people.
See, I repeated it, but I didn't repeat it.
Yeah, I know.
I'm going to say. Okay, $100,000.
Okay, why don't you triple that?
Triple that, $300,000.
It's the price of a small home in the U.S.
It's $317,000 for a suite.
The fact that you could buy a house, or at least half a house,
that's like a decent size for that money.
For a 90-minute soccer game, that is.
It's not even that long of a game.
That's the problem.
How much is parking at SoFi Stadium in L.A.?
Parking at SoFi Stadium, you say?
What I said.
Now I'm doing it on purpose.
No, you would have done it anyways.
I don't know.
It has to be $40.
It's $50.
Why don't you double it?
Double it, $100.
Why don't you double that?
$200.
Why don't you add $100 to that?
$300.
It's $300 to park at SoFi Stadium.
You couldn't pay me to do that.
That's a weird saying.
Unless you paid me $300, I wouldn't do that.
So you would do it if it was free?
Yeah, pretty much.
That made no sense.
How much is a cup of beer?
A cup of beer.
A cup of beer, probably a pint, right?
You repeated me again.
I did.
You do it every time.
I have to stop doing it.
A pint of beer?
A cup of beer.
$12.
Okay, add a little bit more.
$16.
A cup of beer is $18.99.
Now that's stupid.
That is just dumb, Zach.
You could buy a 30-pack of Natty Light.
Yeah, for that.
For that price.
That's ridiculous.
Keystones?
Forget it.
How much is a stadium pretzel?
Stadium pretzel?
I've never bought one of those.
You've repeated again.
I know.
I stopped myself.
No, you did repeat it.
I tried stopping myself.
You've never bought a warm pretzel?
I don't at a stadium, no.
Really?
That's shocking.
There's no shot.
Uh, I'll say $12.
Okay.
I don't know how to price that.
It's $13.49 for a freaking pretzel.
That was my best guess so far.
And the last one I'm going to add in because I know the price of this.
How much is the price from Penn Station, the train ride, to MetLife Stadium, which is about
a 20, 30-minute train ride?
Well, it was $150, but they lowered it because they heard the complaints of the people, Ryan.
Yeah.
$100.
$100.
It is $100 for a train ticket for like 20 minutes of riding.
It just doesn't make any sense.
That is so stupid.
Some things don't make sense.
That's why.
That's one of them.
Do you think the World Cup is doing the right thing here?
Price gouging?
Is that what it's called?
It is basically price gouging.
Well, I look at the NBA finals and what they charged and the prices for those, especially
at MSG.
Was it that bad?
Worse.
Oh, my gosh.
Brian, horribly worse.
And we'll talk about it shortly.
Yeah, that's tough.
So, the fact that the World Cup, I mean, once you get to the quarter, semi, and then the
actual final, I can't even imagine looking at the prices.
And the final's at MetLife, which is one of the most expensive places in the country,
New York, New Jersey.
Yeah.
So, it's going to be a pricey one.
It's a tough look.
I'm sure we'll probably do a video when that comes around.
Probably.
Because we did it for the Knicks, right?
We probably will.
Oh, it's so much money.
Welcome back to the podcast.
We are NBA champions.
I was going to say we have a lot.
I'm surprised you didn't wear a Knicks anything.
I didn't have to.
I wore everything to the games that I watched in New York City.
I was literally upstairs looking for a new shirt to wear.
I was going to bring down my Josh Hart jersey to give to you to wear on the pod.
You have a Josh Hart jersey?
Yeah.
We got stuff from MSG one time.
I remember you got a Brunson one.
I got a Hart one.
Oh.
Yes, yes.
I forgot about that.
I chose Josh Hart because you chose.
I didn't want to copy.
That would have been.
Yeah.
And also you choosing.
Yeah, that makes sense.
I like Josh Hart.
Great player.
But I want to say congratulations to you, Zach.
I never.
Oh, I just got chills.
I've been getting goosebumps this like during the finals game specifically every 10 seconds.
And now we can go to the parade.
We can go to the parade.
This podcast is going to drop the day of the parade.
So if you're watching live, go check our stories.
I'm sure we're going to be posting a ton of stories from the parade.
It's going to be insane.
I don't know how we're going to do it.
Like, how do people go to that parade on that island?
What?
The island of Manhattan.
I don't know what you're getting at here.
There's too many people.
Oh, that'll be fine.
No, I just think like you're not going to be able to move around.
Like what time you have to get there?
It's at 10 a.m.
I think that will be fine because it takes us five minutes to get into the city.
That's fair.
Like for other people, I think that we have the easiest route.
Okay.
We just take a train over.
I just everyone that I know that's a Knicks fan.
Like they've never done a parade for the Knicks.
I know.
They won twice, but they didn't do a parade for them.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, it's going to be madness.
Right there.
Maybe film a couple of short form videos.
We should do that.
If we could move.
I don't know if we could move.
Yeah, it'll be fun.
But congratulations to you and all the Knicks fans out there.
I think we have a lot of Knicks fans that are followers.
What did you think of the celebrations?
Did you think it was too much?
Do you think they overdid it?
Like I felt like it was very similar game four, game one and two because I was in the city for game two, four and five.
I listen like my opinion on it is that this is the coolest thing I've ever seen happen in New York.
Oh, yeah.
Like I think I was a little too young to appreciate it.
When the Giants won.
And I don't think it was to that magnitude because I think sports are just becoming more and more popular.
I think the Knicks, too, are like the center.
Like before the Nets came over, they were the basketball team for New York.
They are the basketball team still currently.
I'm a Nets fan.
It sucks.
I think.
Did you see the stats that came out?
There was like 63 arrests, like four stabbings and one shooting.
I think that I love like I saw a few videos of a guy like had a projector projecting for the whole block.
Like that kind of stuff is awesome.
The people celebrating the city singing Empire State of Mind, Frank Sinatra.
It's awesome.
The only bad thing is like you don't need to light a school bus on fire.
No, no.
But other than that, other than I think it was actually fairly tame.
It was really tame until like one or two a.m.
Yeah, that's what I heard because I was in Times Square after they won.
I walked out.
We walked over there.
It was cool.
Yeah.
There were fireworks going off in the middle of the city.
I was like, what's going on here?
I saw somebody do a firework in the fire.
We're tilted over and pointed at a crowd and everyone was like, oh, I ran away.
I felt bad at Virgil's.
I had like the poppers.
They gave me the poppers.
I handed them out.
I was telling everyone point up and do not point down or at people.
So I know everyone was fine.
That's good.
But I hugged our friend James AJ.
We were just on the floor for a bit.
He was crying on the floor.
He was on the floor of Virgil's real barbecue and we were just crouched out.
I don't think anyone got a video of it, but we came back up and just the sound of it.
Just the celebration was madness.
Like, I've never seen New York City like that.
Game five definitely had more of a wide radius and I was a little further away
and we're like, we're going away from all this stuff.
I got my taste in Times Square.
It's a good idea.
New York City's back was so bad.
This is a New York City summer.
Yeah, I can't wait.
Yeah, it's already started off like crazy.
Yeah, I think the fact that the next one, the fact that the World Cup is here.
When we went to the when we went to Times Square with Fox one to watch in the glass
box, that was one of the coolest.
Views of Times Square I've ever seen with all the Brazilian flag, all the country's
flags, it was the most packed, I think I've ever seen it.
Two things they shut down the box after the win makes sense.
It's like curtain up and it was like, we're not watching this as they should.
We're not going to be able to get out.
And the second thing, what was it?
The World Cup fans who've come here from different countries to watch their country
play, but what did they think was going to happen?
Imagine just being there.
Yeah, just like you have no idea because you're not paying attention to anything but
the World Cup.
And then you're like, oh, my God, this is going to be a big thing.
- Oh my goodness.
- Like that's gotta be pretty cool.
- I feel like that's a compliment.
it's a very good compliment 100 he said new york fans are up there with the best fans in the world
i i also didn't know how i would feel after a championship and like i i didn't know if i was
gonna cry and like i didn't cry all night i made it i was in the uber home uh with my girlfriend
and i i think like them winning like it's pure joy yeah but but but once you get like into the
moments where you watched like i watched jalen brunson's post-game interview yeah they're like
how does it feel that your dad was a coach and you won and he got choked up and like his his
lips start quivering yeah i i burst out into tears i had to i had to and then i i went i got
my 3 4 a.m pizza i ate into my apartment went to bed woke up next morning i'm watching cat
og brunson mikhail bridges all their interviews and i started crying again i go i can't do this
this is that's the emotion for me i want to like buy 2k just to play with this team just to be
them so today this is zach's monologue the whole podcast i mean i had to i had to say
that one no that's good this is a big moment this doesn't happen you deserve it you deserve
it i also bought i bought newspapers not from yesterday i sold out but i got today's they're
still kind of cool you should get it after the the day of the parade too yeah yeah that'll be cool

that justin gaethje won at the white house and beat a 17 and 0 fighter that is like one of the
greatest fighters of all time kind of manhandled him has not lost since we had him on the podcast

one of our most viewed podcasts so we got it let's we got to give a shout out to justin gaethje
congratulations justin man we got to pull up maybe we can put a clip in the podcast or something
we'll post something um but yeah the vibes are just immaculate the vibes are immaculate you and
oh i saw another video this might be the whole podcast that's fine it makes sense yeah um i saw
another two videos one video of some lady on a bus and she must have woken up from a nap had her
headphones plugged in she was the only one on the bus there were people on top of the bus and
she was just like it's like a horror movie yes exactly that's a nightmare you know that's scary
uh the other thing let's see nick's championship what i want to say that's literally the only thing
you can think of i know literally the only thing i could think of if i think of it i'll come back
okay well yeah i just wanted to hit on those congrats on the nicks congrats to justin gaethje
that was one of the most electric fights i've ever watched also he's the most awesome he's the most
fun fighter to watch ever oh yeah like he's just pure electricity the most violent ufc fighter
alive the most entertaining ufc fighter i've ever seen he's the most fun fighter to watch
ever seen yeah um so shout out to the next shout out to justin gaethje shout out to america yeah
250th birthday this year too with all this happening it's a big year this is i mean this
summer oh oh people talk about the summer of 2016 i have a feeling the summer of 2026 is going to go
down in the history yes i agree it already has it already has and it's not even summer yet we're
finally back we're like a week away from the official first day of summer i was gonna say
one of the guys uh posted before game five and he said so like i was
thinking tomorrow we have the game he goes if the knicks win like i'm gonna be happy but like
why can't i go to the bar with my boys on a random tuesday and like unite over something together i
you know it's like what he goes are we gonna stop doing that because like we did for a bit i feel
like like it's a way to unite people in the city all together to go out like these bars have been
packed for weeks you're right i it still is going to be packed for the next month yeah because of
i have a great topic for our hoops you'll probably see in short form yeah um one of the things that
the knicks could be hard for them to do is they're going to have to do a lot of work and they're
for the next 20 years and i don't think anyone would care you say that now well i have expectations
already next year because i want a championship i want another one i know it's gonna be tough
i'm hungry and honest we'll see it's gonna be tough you might want to go to miami and i was
like that's not like i'm gonna probably go to the celtics if you go to the celtics it's gonna be
really tough tyrese halliburton it's whatever but it's easier said than done yeah because
the giants won in 2011 which was 15 years ago i'm ready for a super bowl it's also i think it's also
in that downtime you compete rather than be horrible absolutely the giants have been horrible
yeah so if they've been like the buffalo bills and like competing maybe i wouldn't think that way
yeah but i'm like we need something well i'm i feel like knicks fans are also used to like okay
the last four years we've been in the postseason that hasn't happened like i don't know i don't
know how long no because before that was 2012 2013 yeah and then before that it was 2000 2001
or something like that so i'm like i expect to be in the playoffs now now yeah but like when's it
for the bad when are we gonna suck again it'll happen will we suck again yes can we be like the
lakers who are just like even even if we're in a few sucky seasons they yeah but they're still
winning 30 40 games oh no they were bad they were after kobe that was really bad it got bad for a
little bit in la but they always come back it's the lakers i think the knicks are gonna be fine
yeah i'm hoping okay any other shout outs no i think that was it i wrote we're gonna we're
gonna be doing oh another cool thing we're on the talent page for fanatics fest yeah which is sick
awesome it was like jackson dart and then me and then it was like what like terrence crawford and
then you or something like that it was sick um i thought they would put the makeshift project
no it's out it's alphabetical well yeah yeah but i thought they would put like oh yeah like
our brand and a picture of us it's cool to have an individual one yeah it's cool i have a question
yeah like do you feel like like when when do you feel like we've made it like have we made it to
an extent like i still feel like a normal person i'm i don't think that's ever gonna change yeah
i think that the fact that when we make it i think is like when we maybe like something like huge has
to happen like we have to get like a tv show on fox or something yeah like something like wheel
of fortune type stuff like we need like you want to run real wheel of fortune i would love to let
me say would do not you can be my vanna white i would be a killer vener i can't even say her name
it's fine you weirdo um yeah i feel like something like that like if we got a game show on nbc or cbs
or something like that like like national television
yeah it doesn't have to be like it could be just through youtube or through like the netflix game
show or our podcast gets signed to netflix something like that like one huge move and
then i'll be like okay we made it yeah that's fair but we're definitely on a good track so
we have two shows at fanatics fest saturday and sunday at fanatics fest so if you guys want to
come come check it out yeah we're gonna have some fun we're gonna do a lot of fan interaction i
think done and deal oh it's gonna be fun done and deal i don't know what is i'm just saying
i'm just still happy about the next but what was that done and
deal like deal and done but i said it backwards i don't think deal and done is it maybe it's done
and done done and done i don't know it is sure like never heard of that like consider it done
but done and done i've never said that in my life that's all i'm saying done and deal that's also
just not a saying i think you're making sayings up um okay do we have any other updates before
we move on uh fanatics nicks gaethje america new york city i don't know i think we're gonna produce
one next week
more content but we say that but like we're gonna try no we're doing our we're having our first time
full time hire so yeah whatever i just said we're hiring someone yeah which is my brother done and
deal deal and done yeah uh okay do you want to talk she isn't it do you want to talk about the
world cup let's continue yes that's i kind of feel like part of my take right now me too it's
kind of fun i love it let's do it these are five world cup facts that sound fake but are actually
true i've seen a couple hit me with them okay first one cristiano ronaldo
one of the greatest players of all time has played in five world cups but never scored a goal in the
knockout stage match so what does this say to him he is not the goat yeah how how how could you
consider yourself when you've played in how many world cups five six five i just said that you did
say that five world cups so he's never scored a goal in a game that like really mattered i feel
like the debate between ronaldo and messi messi has done this ronaldo cannot be the goat if you
don't perform in clutch time i think messi scored seven goals
- He's a dog.
- In 2022.
- That's why he's the GOAT.
Jose Ronaldo, I do think I might like him better as a person.
Okay.
But Messi, I feel like, is the undoubtable goat.
Okay, fine, done.
You got to score at a knockout stage.
Maybe he'll score this year with Portugal.
I feel like he might, what are they, the fourth favorite?
Fourth favorite, yeah.
It's Brazil, France, England, Portugal.
I mean, this is, he can't, I don't think, apply again.
Probably not, no.
Because he's like 38 or something, 40.
I think he's close to 40.
The next fact is Brazil is the only nation to qualify for every FIFA World Cup
since the tournament began in 1930.
So are they just that much better than everyone else?
They live and breathe soccer down there?
Yes.
I think that in America, we're born and we're given a basketball.
We're given a football.
They're given a soccer ball and told to kick it with their feet rather than,
I wonder how they are at like hand-eye coordination.
I don't know.
Well, I've seen some players like Ronaldo from Portugal throw a football.
It's embarrassing.
And it's completely different.
Like, they don't play baseball.
They don't do those things.
Shoot a basketball.
Also, if you see UFC fighters shoot a basketball, it's bad.
Yeah, and those are some of the most athletic people.
I know.
But they just don't have the coordination like hand-eye.
But they're great athletes.
That's 90 years of Brazil in the World Cup.
Yeah.
I don't think it's going to end anytime soon.
Oh, wow.
So in. It would be three World Cups.
It'll be over 100 years.
The next World Cup is going to be 100 years.
Oh, yeah.
Four and four.
Yes.
Wait, 92 years then?
Yes, 96 years.
You said 90, so I got confused.
I was rounding.
Yeah, yeah.
96 years.
So next World Cup is 100.
Next World Cup is going to be the 100th anniversary.
Of Brazil.
Of Brazil.
Oh, yeah.
Of the FIFA World Cup.
That's awesome.
The next fact.
Spain won the 2010 World Cup with only eight total goals.
The fewest ever scored by a championship winning team.
That doesn't make sense to me because they played at least eight matches, right?
I think there's three in the beginning and then there's the quarter semifinals.
So they played seven total, maybe eight.
But you can tie in the beginning matches.
So they probably tied two of them and won one and qualified.
I think they won PKs to win it too.
I might be wrong on that.
So that doesn't count as a goal.
That does not count as a goal.
Eight goals in the entire World Cup is kind of blasphemous.
It's like me in indoor soccer class back in high school.
You didn't score but one?
Well, yeah, I didn't give up goals.
Oh, yes.
Okay.
Defense wins championships, Ryan.
Yes, you're right.
The next fact.
In 1966, the World Cup trophy was stolen only to be found by a dog named Pickles
wrapped in a newspaper under a hedge in South London.
Pickles is a hero.
He's a true hero.
Also, how do you lose the World Cup trophy?
Like, don't know.
How does someone actually steal it?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
How do you steal that?
That sounds like a movie plot.
It's like Nicolas Cage.
The Pink Panther.
Let's make it happen.
I would love for Nicolas Cage to do a movie like that.
He's got a new show, Spider-Noir, or whatever it's called.
What was that?
Spider-Noir?
Spider-Noir.
Spider-Noir?
Do you know what it's called?
Spider-Noir.
Is that how you say it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Pretty sure that's an animated Spider-Man.
It's not animated, though.
So they either watch in black and white or you can watch in color.
I started the first episode, but apparently it's phenomenal.
It's, like, rated exceptionally well.
Yeah, Spider-Noir.
Yeah.
All those Spider-Man animated kind of movies, those little, like, other Spider-Man universes,
all of them do well.
That's sick.
Like Miles Morales.
Yeah, but I didn't think Nicolas Cage would be a good Spider-Man.
But he's good.
Yeah.
Apparently.
I haven't watched the whole thing.
Maybe I'll try it out.
And the last one, the original Jules Romet trophy was stolen again in 1983 and was reportedly
melted down, never to be seen again.
I'm sure it's on somebody's body right now.
Probably.
It's probably a necklace.
It's a piece of jewelry or something.
Probably his jewelry.
That guy probably.
Made millions and millions of dollars.
I don't know if he did.
Or a girl.
Maybe it was a woman.
Well, so, did I tell you this about the World Cup trophy?
What?
How expensive it is?
I did.
Yes, you did.
It's insane.
I know.
And then the players or the team gets a gold-plated bronze version.
Replica.
Replica, so that they could have it, which I never knew.
Which is still probably a lot of money.
So, my question is, when we were at Fanatics Fest, what trophy did we see?
Because we, like, I don't know if we touched it, but, like, we were right next to it, and
people had it, and, like, it knocked over.
Was that the legit gold one, or was that the one for that year for the team that wins?
I wish we had our producer.
Also, also, I have another fact for you.
Geez.
We were just talking all about it.
Okay.
The original FIFA World Cup trophy is permanently housed in the FIFA museum in Zurich.
I want to say Germany.
Switzerland.
Switzerland.
Oh, my gosh, man.
You cannot get that right.
That's okay.
Everything's fine.
Zurich, Switzerland.
Zurich, Switzerland.
Zurich, Switzerland.
Name another city in Germany.
Berlin.
Name another one.
Bayern.
It's a soccer club.
Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich.
Munich.
It's Munich.
There you go.
In Germany.
Yes.
I don't know things.
Bayern Munich is a soccer club.
Things Zach doesn't know.
I meant to prep his.
What did you just say?
Yes.
You just repeated yourself.
I know.
I don't know what I'm doing.
I'm trying to remember the topics I want to come up with.
Maybe I'll do this separately in short form next week.
Who knows?
Do you know what company makes all. No, I'm not going to tell you.
Don't tell me.
I'm going to tell you.
We're going to do it.
Okay, tell me.
Do you know what company makes the World Cup trophy?
No, you know what?
I'm not going to tell you.
Do you want to tell me or no?
No, because they make multiple trophies.
And I want to list all the trophies.
I don't have them all written down.
So it's one company that produces all of them.
That'll be the video.
Yeah, that'll be the video next week.
Sorry, guys.
Sorry, guys.
Tune in next week for podcast. Tune in next week.
Also, this is podcast 208.
We never said that.
Yeah, we never said it.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Zach's bald.
Do we have anything else that we want to talk about sports related or can we migrate?
We can migrate if you would like.
Was that it?
Yeah.
I have a good video for you.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm going to. My video is kind of dumb.
Does it have to be with you?
Are you bald?
No, it's not about me being bald.
It's about toilets.
Oh, gosh.
This is where people tune out of the podcast.
No, no.
It's a legitimate question that I don't think you have the answer to.
All right, talk to me.
But I want you to think through it.
I am ready.
How many different toilets. How many different toilets have you used in your lifetime?
Probably a ton.
The answer feels impossible to derive as there's no way to answer it, but everyone can relate
to this question.
Let's try and figure it out.
1,000%.
Well, the toilets that I have used the most are in this house, and we have two main toilets.
Yes, but how many toilets do you have overall here?
One, two, three, four.
You've used all four bathrooms.
I've used all four bathrooms, so that's four.
So washing your hands doesn't count.
You had to either one or two in the toilet.
Or throw up.
Yes.
Does that count as using it?
That counts.
Okay.
But then if you go into a bathroom and it has urinals, and you go multiple times in one night. All right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
Hold on.
Break it down.
I have lived in this house.
That is four toilets.
Okay.
I have lived at my grandparents' house.
That is. One, two, three.
Three toilets.
Three toilets, okay.
That's seven.
I have lived in an apartment with one toilet.
That's eight.
Two toilets, that's ten.
Yeah, okay.
We're at ten toilets.
That's every place that I have lived.
Okay.
Okay.
Not bad.
That's ten toilets in my residences.
Okay.
But think about everything in the outside world, Brian.
Yeah, no.
I've been to a lot of restaurants.
So what I'm saying, if you go to a bar and you pee multiple times in different urinals,
that's different toilets.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
So, like, you could do three, four toilets in one night out.
I've probably peed in every toilet of, like, ten bars.
Okay.
Probably.
Okay.
I would assume, right?
Yeah.
I think you're way underestimating, like, how many different toilets you've used.
No, no, no.
I'm just going slow here.
Okay.
I'm just moving slowly.
We're having the guaranteed ones out of the way.
Yeah, those are all guaranteed, which I think there's a guaranteed few hundred.
Yeah.
But I'm going to say that I've probably used over, like, maybe 10,000 toilets.
Over 10,000 toilets?
If I had to guess.
Like, there's a ton.
Like, I'm thinking about, like, road trips, hotels, vacations, like, I don't know.
You go on the plane.
Work toilets.
I worked at a few different companies.
You go on the plane, an airport.
You go on the plane.
You go, does it count to go on the side of the road?
Yeah, that's a toilet.
Fine.
I don't think that counts.
That doesn't count.
That doesn't count.
Do pools count?
Pools do not count.
Good times mean competitions between you and your friends.
Like seeing who can throw some pigskin the farthest or rush the field the fastest.

I don't pee in the pool.
I asked ChatGPT.
I said if you're well-traveled for 15 trips a year, so 30 flights for the last two years.
15?
Who's going on 15 trips?
I'm going to hit my United thing this year.
Oh, you're talking work trips.
I thought you meant like vacations.
No, no, no.
I'm saying like we're going to hit like, I don't know, 20, 30 flights.
Yeah.
Which would be anywhere between 10 and 15 trips.
Well, yeah, that's the last two trips.
That's the last two years.
Well, so I said for the last two years, and it estimates that we've probably used 1,500 toilets.
I'm also thinking of like going over my friend's house, apartments, other bars or restaurants, stores.
It said a small town or homebody has probably between 300 and 700 toilets.
In their life?
In their life.
No way.
Right?
There's no way.
Well, small town homebody, like the people out in Arizona who live in the middle of nowhere.
Yeah, true.
How many toilets have they used?
We live next to New York City.
If we're going anywhere, like if you're in a Chipotle, you might lose the bathroom.
Yeah.
- I popped into a Starbucks.
I peed in Home Depot in the city 'cause I couldn't find it
any other bathroom rest stops the average american around 800 to 1200 toilets i think i'm above it
a frequent business traveler like us probably between 1500 and 3000 i think it's more and then
if you're a flight attendant or a touring musician yeah 5000 plus i i think i i think that we should
be in 5000 plus i wish there was a way to keep this record well you can now i can start right
now yeah i can start right now and get it you can start right now and over the next 29 years of your
life just double that's not a bad guess and it'd be around that number probably yeah besides when
you were like a baby you went in your pants but think about how many toilets you've used as a baby
going to different restrooms and stuff where your parents have to change you when you that doesn't
yourself in public well but diaper but if you say you have to poop then you go poop i don't like
in a diaper no no no no i'm saying like three four years old oh that's not a baby that's a toddler
zach sorry sorry my fault my fault that's not an infant um okay so are you agreeing like 1500
3000 like do you think 3000 5000 a good range i think 5000 5000 toilets i think so yeah okay with
no real logic besides we now down like 15 toilets that we know you've used i definitely have used
over 10 toilets okay tell you that much okay i have a fantastic that wasn't as bad as he thought
it was no it was good oh my phone's upstairs i need your phone you need my phone i have a fantastic
topic for you okay okay chat gpt can now rate your face out of 10 all right let's see who's more
handsome are you serious yes okay so are we going hat on hat off well i feel like hat off right you
have to go hat off this is your full appearance okay that works oh my hair is all messy yeah it's
gonna play into the cards um okay yeah make yourself look good so all you have to do to
have chat gpt rate your face on every feature it's copy this prompt i'll put it it's a very very long
prompt okay and you just have to take a selfie and input it into chat gpt so go to your messages i
feel like it's going to go off like like symmetry and stuff right so so it's going to go off of a
bunch of things it's going to go off facial symmetry facial thirds face face width to height
ratio eye spacing eyebrow no space lip jawline chin cheekbone skin hair hair quality facial hair
overall all these things okay so take a selfie of yourself and then copy and paste this prompt
where i don't know if we're going to put it on screen or whatever copy and paste this prompt
into chat gpt underneath of your face let's see oh god take your selfie
you only get one shot at the selfie give it a smile
no but then my wrinkles go come on that's a good selfie okay so copy and paste the prompt that i
just texted you into it and just send the picture and the prompt at the same time says it's sketching
it out yeah it'll sketch it out let me say sketch it out it's it's get it gives you this whole
little like background check on it really yeah it might take a second okay we can talk about
other stuff while we do this so who do you think is going to win uh i think i have an advantage with
the hair yeah but who knows are you doing something silly to me no this is an actual contest you're
not pranking me into doing something what would i be pranking you i don't know i didn't read the
prompt i just copy and pasted the final touches it's it's loading i thought you left your phone
upstairs on purpose so i type this into mine oh my phone was dead okay okay i'm just making sure i
swear to you i promised you this is a real thing i saw it on instagram today okay i'm excited one
last tweak one last what do you think it's going to give you i don't know i don't know i don't know
out of 10 out of 10 i uh i'll safely go like a 7.2 oh high praise i feel well i'm not failing
like a 6.5 a five is average nobody what also what is up with everybody that nobody understands
five out of ten is average i just feel like it's like nobody comprehends it it just feels rude yeah
but what do you think like i wouldn't rate someone like a three you have to if they're ugly they are
below average okay i guess so like edna mode probably a three edna mode's beautiful probably
a two you have no
a two she's two foot tall i love edna mode it still says one last tweak i'm a little nervous
okay we got zach's results now i'm gonna input mine and then we're gonna reveal it at the end
here i can't wait for this how's my hair look don't stop making these faces my hair i have hat
hair right now that's your fault okay do you want to hear what you got yeah i do okay zach
missiskia i feel like i look better from a distance i think i took it too close your facial symmetry
got a 7.5
7.5 that's okay that's great that's good really good your overall facial harmony 7.4 out of 10
got good harmony in this face your current presentation 7.0 all right this is right around
the average that i wanted grooming score oh no 7.5 oh and the beard's long longer than usual
right now long-term aesthetic potential two eight eight that's your potential it's because i already
look old fair it's hard to get older when you already look old it's hard to get older when you
already look old so it says if i had to give one overall current score from this photo alone
what do you think it gave you i'm gonna say it gave me a 7.3 7.8 7.10 zach again i think if we
took it from a distance i think it would look better you have too many wrinkles up close you
have a strong jawline lower face structure very good smile and dental display balanced proportion
thick eyebrows solid facial farming beard that enhances the face well oh yeah nice work zach
so i need the beard to enhance my face nice work that's what i'm hearing okay
do we want to hear mine yes i do i have a bad feeling about this i can't wait okay
overall facial harmony yeah 7.4 that's good i think that's good brian the same or
0.1 less than yours that's close current presentation exactly the same as yours seven
okay my grooming score is a 7.2 i think i got more than 7.5 my long-term aesthetic potential
yours was an eight yeah 7.8 oh i think i got it folks let's ask what
what's the overall score the overall okay i think it's going to be less than mine there's also a
bunch of other stats on here that they rank it on which i don't have the time to read we didn't get
into the hair i think your hair might carry it okay your overall score is a 7.5 oh winner damn
at 7.5 your face falls into the attractive above average range you have good overall facial
balance strong hair density which you don't have i don't have and styling potential which i need to
work on pleasant eye area and eye color well integrated nose solid masculine proportions
and no major structural weaknesses yeah look at that brian pretty good listen i'm happy for us
i'm i'm honestly happy with that if i actually would rank myself out of 10 and 5 being dead
average i would say it's like a like a 6.5 6.5 in my opinion i don't i think i'm like a
slightly above average you're six to six i forgot also yeah should we add it's a thing no no no no
don't add it maybe we'll get up to an eight nine we'll see so i thought that'd be fun oh that was
fun geez all right i have uh another dumb one for you good i'm full of dumb stuff on the podcast
that's what i was feeling today all right you like the last i do talk to me okay think of a number
one through 100 can i do i say it out loud no do not say it out loud hold on to it okay i got it
we're gonna test our friendship here i think all right what color would you give that number oh the
this is what we're doing yeah okay i would give it like a i think like a green a green i was thinking
green or orange but i'm thinking green but take that all into consideration all right all right
and then what what year is it right now yeah in real life in real life 2026 2026 okay why did you
answer that because some things you need to know um okay i just want to make sure i'm doing this
right this is zach acting right now i can tell you could tell that i'm acting yes okay i'm gonna put
my phone down
i caught you i'm gonna put my phone down okay yes i've i've submitted and locked in an answer
okay okay put that there now add 10 to your number okay all right got it you got it yeah okay
now take away 22 add 10 to my last number okay and then take away 22 yes do some math brian you
got this you could do it take away 20 and then take away another i got it okay now i locked in
what i thought your number was all right okay
yes i put it on my phone for the people to see yes i want you to take it you know my password right
yeah i got it nice i got you this was when did you take this picture upstairs this is what zach
this is what zach posted got him do you have a guess on what my original number was
if you get that right i'll let you fully punch me in the face 48 no 77
that was so stupid
that was dumb well other other people who've done it they put someone with the middle finger
and uh we're pg rated podcast so i couldn't do that good that was good man um big things
happening in the world yeah mr beast 500 million subscribers can't believe it ridiculous we're at
two two point something four point four yeah we've creeped up a little bit on youtube we're
two series i want that 10 million subscriber plaque yeah it would be sick it will be sick
how long though five years five years no two years i don't know maybe we'll see um elon musk
is now a trillionaire trillionaire and then you have 500 million subscribers so i wanted to ask
you a blind ranking okay which we don't do a lot of blind rankings on the pod but i feel like people
would like it okay rank these things you would buy if you were a trillionaire without knowing
what comes next okay let's do it are you ready for this yes the new york knicks oh boy
i get them in their current state right now correct you would be james dolan
one one no you know what no i'm gonna go two because it would be awesome but i
don't want that responsibility of the fan base well the yeah no you're not wrong i'm four what
i'm going four but you are the owner of the new york knicks you get anything you want yes but i
like people don't like james dolan and then people but now they love him but i mean i still don't
love him you gotta love the guy but i mean i i love leon rose i i love those other guys in the
front office that made all just make the right decisions that i can't so i'm gonna go forward
too much pressure i don't need that that's the weight of the city on your shoulders you're right
and it is the biggest city in the world the biggest and best yes happy new york summer
uh a mega yacht i don't need a yacht you don't need a yacht you get seasick but i would take
it over the knicks you would i think i would just like i mean it's it's cheaper so you're not a real
knicks fan is what you're saying that's not what i'm saying at all i'm such a knicks fan that's
myself if i was the owner usually people usually people that are not knicks fans state that they're
huge knicks fans like you just did i don't want the yacht i'm putting it at five just because i
yeah you did i don't like the yacht okay a lot of maintenance yeah who needs that well you have a
trillion dollars so you can just pay people to do it uh your own private golf course yeah see now
we're talking 18 holes that is what a golf course is okay now we're that's one one number one yes
over everything what where would it be where would it be probably somewhere warm all year round makes
sense let's put it out in uh it's got to be easy to get to i like somewhere in texas okay fair enough
what style golf uh it's gonna be like a parkside but mixed with some elements of links golf all
right interesting next one a private plane private plane's cool because i can fly wherever i want
whatever i want that's true no more tsa that'll go number two wow this guy wants to fly no he loves
ruining the environment no that's with emissions that's not what i like he hates the environment i
don't agree with that it's the environment and that's not true they'll go number three that's

it yeah absolutely there's no there's no limit here okay goes number three number two left yes
a house in every u.s state house in every u.s state that could go number two that's sick that
is sick hotel wherever i want whenever i'm not a hotel a house no but i get to hotel at the house

city i say i hotel in jersey city do you yeah interesting i gotta use an apartment as like a
hotel basically it's an
expensive hotel yeah it is yeah it's a full apartment it is a full apartment one bedroom
well that was my little topic there i like that one i love it um i i think i think we're we're
pretty much but i want to do do you want another time it was stupid you're not gonna hate you're
gonna hate it if i give you this topic you're gonna hate it give me the punch line and then
well it's you've already heard the take about 3d logos and they're back you don't care the people
don't care about that i agree that they're back yeah but these flat two-dimensional icons are
slowly dying out
i think that as they should and you got companies like spotify just give me the topic if you want to
i don't i don't really want to okay then let's move on happy podcast 208 no no no take a monologue

cacos they are the boys if you ever go there they are awesome justin's a great dj riley's a great
audio guy and they're just a hell of a time um i said i'd shout them out they're probably not even
gonna watch and shout out to the rizzler man that kid just such a just such a jolly just such a
jolly young lad i love the videos if we can pop up the video of him when the knicks won the you know the
game four and then game or no game three and then game five just electric just makes me just makes
me feel happy man um other than that i stubbed my toe on vacation and i think it's broken but i don't
think that you can do anything for a broken toe so i haven't done anything about it it just hurts
a little bit when i walk um and yeah that's all i got for you that was good thanks do you want a
monologue
no do it show them your feet my feet yeah just do it for a bit just right now yeah but on a monologue
i don't need you could be here for that i'm not showing them my feet i'm not no they were asking
no they no one's asking anything just show them ew why would you do that that's not making it
we're not putting that one in we're not putting that one in do-do-do-do-do-do
brian always waits at the top of the stairs and
my monologue um my new york knicks are champions that's what this is going to be all about
uh went to the city for game two three four and five because how can you not be in the city for
those the 29 point comeback the og ananobi tipping the game five comeback they led the spurs for like
72 or 74 percent of the series and the knicks came out on top in five games and victor webenyama
life-changing defensively game altering player he's able to come out i've never seen a player
single-handedly change the offensive approach because of his defensive presence i've never
seen that before in my life he's going to go down as the best defender of all time or at least most
impactful but when you talk about the offensive part of the ball taking over a game i know he's
22 years old but he does not have that in his bag yet is he going to be kevin durant
i don't think he's going to be the scorer at any level at any point in time will he average 22 a
game have 12 rebounds four blocks sure and we'll take that but to call yourself the top three player
and disappear in games four and five or at least definitely in game four and one i just can't
accept it and jalen brunson didn't play as good this series that's fine but he dropped 45 out of
92 points on the final game so victor webenyama if you're listening to this i don't think he'll
ever win a championship
i've said it before brian i had to say it again said it before i have to say it again
welcome back victor webenyama if you're late whoa victor webenyama if you're listening to this
brian thinks that you will win many nba championships and congratulations on all the
success there you go i'm sure he heard that all right let's go to our member shout outs that's
