Catfights Make The WNBA Interesting | 2 Bears, 1 Cave

The transcription blends personal storytelling with deep reflections on authenticity, creativity, and cultural impact. A visit to T-Pain’s extravagant Atlanta home underscores his success, creativity, and the unique blend of music, technology, and community that defines his lifestyle. The host reveals how T-Pain’s unfiltered live singing during a late-night podcast session marks a pivotal moment of genuine artistry, challenging the perception of him as just an auto-tune artist. This moment is mirrored in the discussion of former NFL star Goose, whose legacy is celebrated for his charismatic, down-to-earth presence and the emotional depth of his final wishes—wanting a highlight reel on his tombstone. The narrative contrasts financial success with personal authenticity, showing that true influence comes from real connection, not just wealth. The episode also touches on the evolution of sports culture, where corporate branding has replaced the raw, human spirit of the past. It highlights the power of personal stories—like the karaoke night with T-Pain or Goose’s tragic death—and how such moments reveal deeper truths about human resilience, joy, and the value of authenticity. The host also shares personal experiences with risk and adventure, from roller skating with a chainsaw to dangerous shovel racing, emphasizing the thrill of real, unfiltered experiences. Ultimately, the piece celebrates individuals who defy stereotypes, embrace their uniqueness, and create lasting cultural impact through authenticity, passion, and genuine human connection.

I told him I've been to the best podcast setups in the world. Nothing compares to him. And it's a, we do a podcast. And it's the funnest podcast I've done very long time. Because you know, my head. I was in production mode the whole time while I was in Atlanta. And so all the sudden I get a night off where it's like we go out there at seven.

His wife Amber made me the best fucking porosos cocktail I've ever had. It was crazy. Have you ever heard him sing sing? Yeah. Hold on. This guy. He can really sing. Nobody knew this. I think for a long time. It was all like, oh, they, because everybody was like he's doing the, you know, the what's it called? Auto tune. The auto tune stuff. And that he had like some big hits with it. And then like you hear him actually on stage singing. So yeah, let me hold on hit pause. Just let me tell the story. So I got the I found a water pit Kyle. Thank you. So I'm going to I'm trying to figure out the right place to tell this. I told this on his podcast. So podcasts is amazing. It's got two guest host. It's really fun. And he we have drinks. We have we didn't end up doing five hours. And it was fucking awesome. Stick around Kyle. Do not leave. And and then he and then he pulls out. This is why I bring this up. He pulls out. I'm using five hours. Five hours. Five hours. And it and it by the way, his night hadn't even started. It's now three in the morning. And he's like, you want to hear some beats. And we're like, okay. And they are simply the best beat you've ever heard. And it's what was it like it was it was Jamaican, a dubstep. And he was like, I'm fucking with dubstep right now. And he was just and Kyle is like, he's like, I don't want to leave. I go, we got to go to work at fucking 10 in the morning. It's three in the morning. And it's he's just started his work day. The podcast would have been like his afternoon thing. This is this is in going to work. Yeah. It was so fucking fun. But to talk about you have to do it. You have to do it. I'm so jealous. I call Cody Rhodes that night. I was like, Cody, you got to do it. It's funny shit. Yeah. It's hysterical. And we did it on Juneteenth. So we were celebrating sure for both sides. Yeah. And so. Yeah. Yeah. So this is the thing you talk about singing. Now, I'm everyone's got their own version of where they were when Babe wrote hit the home run. You know, everyone's got their version of that. But when T-Pain came to do T-Pain came to do a go big show. We had we talked about this on the podcast. The very end of the podcast or the very end of the go big show. We got karaoke. We we we did our rap party like two days before the actual last day. I think they did it because they knew no one can test positive for COVID. We all tested positive. We all had COVID. We all had COVID. Everyone that was on the show got COVID at this rap party. Yeah. And Pains there. And he had in the reason I bring this up is on the thing. He had a hard ice hard hard seltzer. Whatever there's our hard seltzer. And he had one and I'd never had one before until that rap party and I drank ten of them and I got sicker than I've ever been just COVID we found out. And he was like, I love these love these and we were doing karaoke not only when new him was for auto tune. Yeah. And we were like, yo, Paine go up and sing and he's like, man, I can't sing as my whole thing. I can't sing. I'm auto tune. And when I just sing, this is a whole cast and crew. I'm sitting next to Cody Rhodes and Rosario Dawson and T Paine goes up no auto tune and bangs out war pitch. Generals gathered in there. Myself. And we are sitting there like, holy fuck, he can sing. Yeah. Now you cut to what he's doing today. Yeah. And he's singing. I'm not saying we were there at ground zero. We were there the first day. But man, we witnessed what we would call our ground zero. And now he's killed and he looks amazing. Look at how skinny he is. Yeah, it looks great. Now he's really talented, man. He's he's beyond talented and he's the sweetest guy in the fucking world. Yeah. No, awesome. I'm a fan dude. Set me up. I want to do it. Oh, it's so, but his cars you would geek out just over his cars alone. And his and his hot like it's dude. By the way, it's it's I was on the first floor of what I think is a four story mansion. Yeah. I mean, it's crazy. And it's like, you know, when you stand in like a like I got a nice house. But if you stand in different certain parts of my house, you're like, okay. Yeah. But like if you when you go to a rich person's house, yeah, everything sounds like feels like it's dug into the ground. Yeah. Everything's really solid. No doors squeak and nothing dude. Amber made us the coolest. I'm going to find out the cocktail. I'm going to post it. I'll text pain right now. He's the sweetest guy. You know, he's a guy. He's like me and you where he can't stop working. Yeah, he has to work. He has to do something. Or he. Hey, can you get Amber to text me that recipe for the porosos drink? It was fucking incredible. Comma also you have to get time to grow on your podcast. Tea. Hey, um, do you realize you forgot how many fucking bangers he has? Yeah, like straight bangers. Yeah, he's put out hits, man. Yeah, he's put out big hits. Um, no, that's all I mean, that's fucking awesome. And I also love that it's like a, it's almost like a rebirth of an artist in a way to even though like he didn't, you know, stop I'm saying, but like to see that somebody has this other side, it's very cool. He's, you know what's interesting about him is he is authentically a unique individual, meaning like he's not, he's never who you think he is. I find that I find him so fascinating because he's not one thing. He is the exact reason you can't judge a book by his cover because he's so. there's so many different things and like he's just a real curious brain. I fucking love him. That's awesome. Yeah, that's awesome. Can I tell you? Okay, two things. I have a bunch of things I want to talk to you about. Have you watched the sack exchange? The sack exchange on ESPN 30 for 30. Which one is that? Do you remember when we were kids, Mark Gastino, Joe Cleco? Yes, I, this is, um, I know what this is because he is like super pissed that his sack record got taken by stray him, I think. And, and Farve was involved. That took me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember that one. Yeah, I held him. Yeah. And you're like, and he would, but he's so did you see the video of him approaching Brent Farve? Yes. Yes. Yeah, I mean, he's like, you really hurt me, man. You hurt me. No, Brett, you hurt me. He's like, yeah, no, I was like, uh, okay. Farve's like, I don't know if you know about me. Did you watch the Farve doc? Okay. All right. Can you, can you still love your heroes? Cause he was a hero of mine. Well, he was a hero to a lot of people. I mean, he was kind of like, I would say he was the NFL's most beloved, um, player for kind of a generation. Because he had that, you know, he had that accessible persona and background. We're like, he's Mississippi boy. And, um, he's not, you know, I think there was another guy there who was like, yeah, it was like year three. He's like, what's cover two? And they're like, what? Like he didn't know anything about, you know what I mean? He's not like the, by the book guy. He was the guy who just like showed up gunslinger, right? So that's why we love Baker. Yeah, we love Johnny Menzel. Yeah. These guys are just like, and like, white, white quarterbacks can be like Brady and dialed in, or they can be like these, got like a Steve Young gunslinger guns and like far of, you know, extending plays like magic, magic happens, you know, like it was, it felt like this magical thing. And he was just like this, not even quite all shucks, but just like, you know, you would think, you would think when you watched far of play that if football paid $30,000 a year, that's what he'd be doing anyway. Yeah. I mean, like, you couldn't even tell. He was this multi-millionaire guy and like, you couldn't, you just, none of it really seemed to phase him. And so people were just like in love with this guy and, and like, the stories in that doc are like, I mean, honestly, like, the, what feels like, I think the worst is the last bit about like taking money that is earmarked for the poorest of the poor in Mississippi. And you're seeing the text like, hey, they're not going to find out about me getting this money right. And then you're like, and then he's like, ah, that wasn't, I didn't mean it like that.

That's crazy. These football players don't have the kind of money you think they have. Then you look at T-Pain. He's got more money than you ever think he's going to have. Well, I really don't know because he's doing copper tone commercials, copper thing commercials. Yeah. We're $100 million. Why the fuck is he doing a copper? Well, there's a couple of things about that. First of all, one thing you can figure out if you go to these net worth sites, it's just somebody going, I think this is what they're worth. There is, whoever wrote that does not have access to Bret Farves financials and they don't have it to anybody. I would look at mine and I was like, that's not right, and I was like, they don't know. People just site think they'll be like, he gets this much per show or per, you know, they don't know. That's fucked up. They don't know. So they're making it up. You have no idea really what he has. He signed a 10-year contract extension around $100 million. In '01. In '01. And by the way, you got to figure. So he keeps, what do you sign, if you sign for $100 million, what do you keep? $25 million? No. No. First of all, with the NFL, it's always about what's guaranteed. It's not like baseball and basketball, where it's all guaranteed. NFL, there's the contract, and then what's the guaranteed amount? Because very few people play out their contracts in the NFL, right? So you can see a contract where someone is signed for, you know, three years, $77 million, and then they'll be like $34 million guaranteed. Well, he's for sure getting the $34 million. And then if he fills out the whole contract, yes, but a lot of that, that's why John Sally, when he played, then he played for the Lakers, right? John Sally at the end of his career played for the Lakers, and he had, or Clippers, maybe, but he had like a 125 million guaranteed contract, and he was on Fox Sports, but still getting paid as an athlete. NBA is wild. NBA is insane. They, so his career earnings, so what he actually earned in the NFL is $141. It looks like that's spread across, you know, four different franchises. Crazy amount of money. Ton of money. Yeah. And that's not endorsements. That's, that's like his endorsement, like Campbell's soup. He was, he was endorsed by everybody for a while. Yeah. So why is he doing that copper? Because there comes a point, I think, even when you made money like that, where he's probably like sitting around, he's 45 or something, and they're like, yeah, you have no income. There's an offer to do this, like, yeah, it'd be nice to have something coming in, because you don't know. At that point, it's everything's going out, you know? Oh, that's crazy. Yeah. And then it took money from underprivileged people. Well, allegedly? Allegedly. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what's been proven. I'm saying, like, in the doc, they kind of show you that it seemed like a pretty corrupt type of story, but because it involved like multiple levels of, yeah, I mean, I think the governor's office was involved, and it is a crazy story, but it was one of those stories we had. I would love to have Brett Farvon to defend that. I know you can't, but we'd love to hear him on a podcast to defend it. Yeah. Yeah. Look, he had a guarantee there for one, oh, one, Jesus Christ. Well, these are all his earnings. I don't know. I drank olive oil for seven days. Yeah. Tammy played for 16 years in Green Bay. So he's, so they were talking, I'm watching all the docs on 30 for 30, the best one. Fucking an hour and 45 minutes, 2001 Ravens. Is that when they won this, we were all 2001 Ravens. What a crazy fucking team, Shannon Sharp, fucking my guy, Goose, yeah, but like one of my favorite human beings I've ever worked with, I've ever known my fate, one of my favorite guys. He worked, you know, he worked at Scripps for, for the IY. Okay. He gave me my man cave. He did? He gave me my man cave, and he, and he gave me extra, his man cave, my man cave, he gave me up. $186,000 worth of man cave. - Wow. - And then he told me why. Why? He pulled me into his fucking thing and he goes, we tried working with somebody other travel channel, fucking people. They're all fucking difficult. You're not difficult, you're one of us. So all the money we have for all three of them, we're giving it all to you. - That's awesome. - Get all of it. $186,000, you're my guy, Pert. And I was like, thanks, Goose. - That's awesome. And then you know, his, if I've ever flown private, I've, it's Goose's flat, flat charter. - Oh right, right. He started to do it. Tighten aviation, shout out to Dirk. But that's Goose, that's Goose. It's all his children work for them. It's like in a weird way if you ever fly, you know, flying private's expensive, but I don't mind no one Goose's kids get it. You know? - That's cool. - Goose is, and you forget what a fucking star he was. - Oh yeah, one of his fucking personality. - And this documentary, they brought the whole, the majority of the team back. Ray, Ray Lewis. - Ed Reid was on that team. - Rod Woodson. - Yeah. Trent Dilfer. - Yeah. - Jamal Lewis. - Smoking. - Dude. - They had just lost Ray Rice. - Jamal Lewis had a 2,000 yard rushing season, and they found out he was chain smoking. (laughing) It's insane. They're 30 for 30. Their hard knocks was the best hard knocks that they had. - I remember that hard knocks, yeah. - That was the best hard knocks there ever was. - Yeah. - And that documentary, it's amazing, and they filmed that documentary. - Oh my God. - Peter Bollware was on that team. They filmed that documentary right two months before Goose Todd. - Really? - Yeah, he died two months later. - What is he, he died of heart attack? - Heart attack, yeah. 55 years old. - And they asked him, Tommy, they asked him, "What do you want on your tombstone?" - They asked him that in the documentary. - The documentary, they're like, "What do you want on your tombstone?" And he said, he goes, "You know, I want my tombstone. "I want a fucking highlight reel. "I want them being like, hey, I'm Tony Sarah Goosa. "I like spaghetti. "I hang out with my friends. "I like played football." And then he goes, "I want a TV." See what's on Goosa's tombstone? I think the thing on his tombstone is pretty fucking epic. - Really? - I think, type in Goosa's tombstone. Goosa was the greatest guy, so we're sitting at upfront's tom. - Yeah. - And Goosa does not fit in at all. He doesn't fit in the chairs. We're in a fucking theater and it's like, type in what is written on his tombstone. Is that it? Anyway, you can sit in there. I'm sitting next to it. I'm sitting next to Andrew Zimmern. Andrew Zimmern used to have bizarre food. - Yeah. - Where he'd eat like a cow tassel. - Yeah. - And Goosa's was like, you know, he reminded me a lot of Patrice. He reminded me a lot of, he reminds me a lot of Shane. Just like a bully, just like a fucking big bully. - Yeah. - And Goosa starts going, "Burt, bird." And I was like, "What's up?" And he's like, "The guy next to you eats balls." I go, "I know." And he goes, "No, no, no. Tell him this whole row knows that he eats balls." Go, "Yeah." And he goes, "Hey, tell him to turn around. "I want him to see the look on my face "when I tell him he eats balls." - I go, "Hey, Andrew." I think he goes, "He goes, I can hear him." (laughing) I go, Tony Saragusa wants to talk to you. And he goes, and he turns around and he goes, "Well, hello, Anthony." And he goes, "Hey, I seen you eat balls before." (laughing) - He was, he was, that's like middle school shit that he was doing to him. - When he did my man cave, when he did my man cave, he had a trailer, they had a trailer for him. In front of my house, it was Goosa's trailer. I'm a very candid, I love Goose. He was maybe there for the construction for a total of 30 minutes, okay? He was not a hands-on guy. Jason did the majority of the lifting and their crew. Goose, he would show up, film and scene, and he'd leave. Sometimes he'd show up early, smoke weed. And you couldn't get him out of his trailer, and then he'd film a scene and leave. But he'd been in his trailer. He had a trailer. So he comes, I'm doing work. And then one of the PAs is like, "Hey, Goose wants you in the trailer." And I was like, "Okay." I was like, "Just so you know, they're like drinking and smoking beer, and I had the day off." I was like, "Cool." So I walk in the trailer and it's Goose. Fucking smoking and drinking. And it hands me the joint and I hit it. And I hand it to the guy next to me and it's Kato Kaelin. Kato? They were really close. He's sitting with Kato Kaelin. You're Kato Kaelin, he goes, "Yeah, I know." I was like, "Something handy is like friends of Goose." And I was like, "Oh, cool, just the weirdest." Yeah. But yeah, that fucking doc is so good. But Trent Dilfer says, "In that doc." He goes, "I respect Tom Brady and Aaron Rogers. They're great guys, but they couldn't do what I did." And he goes, "If they played when I played, they wouldn't be who they are today." Because apparently so many rules changed. Oh, I see what he means, yeah. I mean, so many rules changed. I guessed in hitting the quarterback and when you could. I mean, part of the reason not to say that your team wasn't great, Kyle, 'cause Kyle's from Baltimore, or whatever you say. It's Baltimore, Baltimore, Baltimore. Baltimore. He's from Baltimore. I'll be hitting up Baltimore on my permission to party World Tour this fall. Anyway, one of the big plays was they're playing the Raiders and Goose goes the Sackie guy and then falls on him again and crushes his ribcage. And they're like, "Dubit, Goose, even?" This is how much I love this guy. He says, "You got to watch the doc, it's so good." Phil Sims comes after Goose on air. And he's like, "That's illegal. He should be fined. He should be, this is crazy. That's an illegal play." And Goose watches it and he goes, "This fucking cock sucker." NFL calls Monday and they find Goose $10,000 because of that. Because of that. And Goose is like, "Fuck, Phil Sims. Fuck Phil Sims. He grew up in Jersey. I grew up in Jersey. I'm a getting his fucking face." So they go to do a pre-thing for the Super Bowl. And fucking Goose goes up to Phil Sims, he goes, "Hey, cocksucker, you owe me $10,000. I know where you live. You just put in new landscaping when you come home and it's all dug up. I want you to know. It's in my fucking house." He's like, "What a fucking great fucking legendary man." That's awesome. Oh. Yeah, his kids are great, too. It was a great guy. But that's a cool talk. But yeah, he was fun to watch, man. I mean, he was fun to watch just because honestly, you'd watch him play but then watching him do like an interview was so much more entertaining. Like those guys were so fun to watch. Yeah. That squad was unbelievable, man. It's like, "Does we have that in football anymore?" What? The football changed so much. I mean, it's changed a lot. It's kind of a little more corporate, a lot more. Yeah. I missed those days. Yeah, because it was used to be like, "Or is it because we were children?" I think that plays a role in it, but it did used to be just all about the game. And I think it has evolved into just such a brand. And you know what I mean? Like, it's just, it's so massive and it fell as massive. Because as I'm saying, not just like popularity, but like as a corporation and yeah, there are a lot of rules, you know? It's like, it's fucking Coca-Cola, like it's a company like that, you know? It's a Fortune 500 massive company.

So thank you, and if you haven't tried Porosos, get out to the store, if they don't carry it, tell 'em you won in the car. - Tell 'em request it, when you go to the bar, you say, "Hey, do you carry Porosos?" And if they say no, go, "You should." It's pretty frickin' awesome. And then walk out. - You know what I do? I go, "Do you carry Porosos?" And they say, "No, I bring out a bottle and give it to 'em." I go, "Now you do." Can I get a bottle of glass of Porosos? - That's awesome, that's awesome. - It's like, you know what, the WMBA is doing right? - The WMBA? - What? - They're letting these bitches fight. - That's cool. - These cat fights are making this game really interesting. - I know. - It's almost like 1970s basketball, NBA. - Right. - Like, it's, it's, did you see, like, I don't like, I'm just gonna be, just, so I'm saying this out loud. I don't like them pitting Kaitlin against the Angel Clark girl. Angel Reese, I don't like the, I don't like the racial bullshit. - Yeah. - 'Cause it's not there. Like, I don't like when the internet does that. Like, I don't enjoy that. But man, Kaitlin Clark is so much better than everybody. - She's great. She's a great, great shooter. - Look at that. - Alright, right? Then push, then push down to the ground. And then hang on. Do you see what happens after this? Is it Sophie Chan? Fucking tackles that bitch. Typing the next play, the next play, girl goes up for a layup. Sophie Chan just fucking wraps her arm around her head and takes her to the fucking ground. - Oh, then that like skirmish blue. - Yes, that makes me, I watched a WNBA game the other day. - Yeah. - Oh, I chose it over a professional baseball game. - Yeah. - And the, and the Phillies were wearing something wild. And I wanted to see what they were wearing. But I was like, it's the fever, man. The fever's got Sophie Chan, who by the way, have you seen who she looks like? - No. - Pull up Sophie Chan, pull up Sophie Chan, holy fucking. - Cunning him. - So whatever, Sophie Chan's her Instagram, that's all I follow her on. - Take that. - Go to Sophie, go to her, look at Jesus Christ. - Yeah. - Go to her Instagram. - How tall is she? - She's gotta be six, two. - Is she? - Yeah. No girl or height, no one gives a fuck about her height. - No one gives a fuck about her height. - I just care about her Instagram. - Wait, do you see her fucking Instagram? - Really? - Oh, buddy. - Okay. - Look at her outfits, she shows up to game day and shit, right? - Yeah. - She's fucking stunning. And here's the other thing that's great about these. All these WMBA players, do you know what the one thing they haven't common? - They had great relationships with their dads. - That's why they played basketball. They were trying to connect with their dads. - Oh yeah. - That's the only reason they're in the sports is their dads. No one's a fucking WMBA player who just had a mom. Unlike the NBA, who was just, they had moms. And then they, you know. - Yeah. - And then I get it. - All these fucking WMBA players, they all had great relationships with their dads. - I know, sorry man. - Their fucking games. Who do you think taught them how to play basketball? - No, she's smoking, man. Dude, she's insanely beautiful. - Yeah. - And by the way, baller also. - Yeah. - All you gonna see on Caitlin is all her highlights. And Caitlin, I mean, Caitlin's got crazy highlights. Like literally fucking five dribbles just outside the half court and shoot a three. - Yeah, it's up. - And you're like, what the, her dad must be amazing. Pull up Caitlin Clark's dad. I bet this guy is fucking. I bet he's so, what is he's from Iowa? Yeah. I bet Brent Clark. Vice president had a product company. Him and his wife, still married, eternal grandmother, fucking football coach. And straightaway Catholic high school. Give me a picture of this fucking guy. Look at him. Look at him. Look at him. Fucking dude. That guy showed up every day and was like, Caitlin, let's work on balance passes. - Yeah, yeah. - Caitlin, three points. You got a girl. I got a idea. He has a cute nickname for her. Hey, see dog. Here we go, see dog. Fucking Caitlin's dad. If you're a man, listen to this. You need to realize you need to be fuck tigers dad. You need to be Caitlin Clark's dad. - Right. - Clark's dad took fucking, she must have had brothers too, right? Did she have brothers? - Has to. I would bet my fucking house on it that she has a brother who's, that's like, you know, that's the red Miller. - That's the formula. - Reggie Miller. - Reggie Miller. His sister was 10 times better a basketball player than Cheryl. - Cheryl Miller. - Yes. - She's an unbeliever. - Are those her brothers? - I don't know. They are those are the two that beat the shadow of her for probably, for, you know, they found the fuck out of her and then she goes sit on the table. - Okay. - Includes her parents. Two brothers. - Blake and Colin. Blake and Colin would fall the fuck out of Clay and Caitlin and then she would come in. - He played football for Iowa State. - Jesus Christ. - Yeah. - And her younger brother too. - They would fall the fuck and she would come inside and she'd be crying in their modest house on the farm in Iowa and both are playing in a dirt patch with just a stick and a hoop. And he'd, and he'd fowler and Caitlin would come in and go mama, I needed glass of milk and she'd go Caitlin. - Yeah. - You go downstairs and you talk to Paul and Paul would come. - Yeah. That was nuts right there. - What was that? - Just that one shot was this, right? - She's just. - Yeah. - That's, that's having a good time. - Like you would think that that's somebody's just one like heave it up but she knew that was going in. You could tell the way she ran from that. She knew it was going in. - She just. - Yeah. - Is it that makes her better than everyone else? - Oh, she's an incredible shooter man. But I mean, what is that, is that just, um, somebody who fucking probably shot more than anybody growing up. I mean, she has like, Steph Curry vibes, you know, like he's the best shooter we've ever seen in the NBA. Oh my God. Yeah, but she can facilitate too, man, she's, she is a super, where is this Sophie from? Where is she from? Sophie coming, coming him. - I don't know, but I was already following her. So she had to have played basketball at a college, I performed at. - Let's hit that wiki. - Missouri, huh? - Nope. I did not play there. - Okay. They were both, our parents were both student athletes at Mizzou. - Jim? - Black belt and Taekwondo. At age six. - That's fucking father in Russian. - Yeah. - That's a great dad. Hey, honey, do you want to go get ice cream? Well, you've got to get a black belt. - Holy shit. - This is girl-dad energy. You know who's going to have two pro athletes, Taylor LeWan and Will Compton, because you know they're going to be activists, fuck me. I phoned it in with my daughters. They quit softball at fucking 13. I just couldn't do it. I had a career. It was my life, not their life. I was, I was this main star. - Yeah. Yeah. - You know, fucking focus on your softball career. - How were they at softball? - Georgia was leading the state in base hits. Maybe the county. - Yeah. - Leading the county in base hits, going into COVID, and she quit. - Just didn't like it. - She hated it. - Oh, here's that thing you want. - This is it. Yeah, look at this. - Yeah. - That's awesome. - You got to play it again. I want to see the tackle. Look at the tackle watches. And you're going down with me, bitch. And there's no collar in it. It's just two white chicks, giving fucking mad dog energy. - Yeah. - I wonder if they say shit like a fucking boyfriend. You know your boyfriend watches me more than, fuck, look at this. - Nice. - I love it. - I love this shit. - Yeah, it's cool. - And more of the, I know. - I know. - Fucking each other up. - Yeah, this always goes back to the whole thing of like, well, this is why hockey's amazing because you just fighting is part of it. - Yeah. - It's so great. We just love to watch fights, man. I wish they, I love an NFL breaks out into a fight. I love it. - Can I tell you, can I tell you the, oh, yeah. - Oh my god. - Can I tell you the one thing that I, this is the one downfall to growing up in Florida that we didn't understand. - What's that? - We didn't have hockey growing up. - Right. - So we didn't understand who played hockey, like what boys played hockey. However, there was a minor league hockey team in Tallahassee when we were in college that was our age. They were our age dudes, but they lived in Tallahassee, played minor league hockey, and then hung out at the bars where we hung out, and we got into a fight with a minor league hockey team. - That's not good. - Thinking, we had a shot, having no idea what a hockey bro is, thinking, yeah, we're tough too. And they're like, now in retrospect, they're like, no, we, we fought yesterday. We, we fought at practice. - We fought all the time. - And I was like, I fought five years ago, I got in a fight. We got fucked up. Do losses to that night. - Really? - Yeah. - We got fucked up. - Yeah. - And I just ran into a dude who came up to me the other day. I was doing something, and he was like, hey, man. I was like, I'm your age, but I played hockey, and I was like, I think we fought you guys. He was just like, fucking still a brick. - Yeah. - Those guys are gnarly, man. - Are your kids gonna play hockey? - No, I don't think so. - I'll fuck it, fuck it. - I don't think they want to. - No, they're not gonna, they can't achieve if they're from Texas. You gotta go up in Florida or Canada, that's gonna place you. Boston, New York. - No, Minnesota. - If we had stayed in Minnesota, when I got to Minnesota, I was 10, everybody was playing hockey. - You would have been a hockey player. - I don't think I would have, because, I mean, I did start skating then, because I just became normal, but I was still really into football, playing football. I don't think I would have done hockey. - I would have been a spectacular hockey player. - Spectacular? - Probably one of the best. - Not even fucking right. - Are you a skater? - Beautiful. - Hold on. Good roller skater. - Okay. You're not a good ice skater? - Well, we don't have ice then, so I never learned how to ice skate. - Oh, you've never ice skated. - I've ice skated a couple times. I'm not very good at it. However. - However. - I was a competitive speed skater on rollerblades. - Competitive? - On roller skates. - Roller skates. - Wait, when you say competitive, you mean you went to competitions? - On Saturdays, they would hold speed skating competitions at our skating rink. And they'd do skate and then they'd hold a competition and we'd race around the rink a couple of times and we'd see who won and I won all the time. I was so good. I was like, did you like the dance and skate? - A fucking amazing, amazing. Now, my confidence lays with me for the rest of my life. So like, if I do something great one time, I believe I'm great at it for the rest of my life. - For sure. - So I'm doing a show called Wings of Glory for Red Bull. We're sort of the Flutog. And we're doing sketches to interlude in between the filmed Flutog. And they go, hey, Burke, can you roller skate? And I go in an amazing roller skater. And they're like, cool. We want to do a bit where you, the guys got a pen in his mouth and he's doing something and you go up and you go, hey, safety first. I'm sure you can find this video Wings of Glory. Safety first, okay? And then it pulls back to reveal your own roller blades with the chainsaw. And I go, okay, a roller skater with the chainsaw. And I go, okay. And they go, can you skate backwards? I go, yeah. And then I go, great. So we're just gonna add the chainsaw thing in post. Wings of Glory, Burke, Chrysher. And so I go, just turn the chainsaw on. I think it's funnier if the chainsaw's on. Just scroll until you find the chainsaw on roller skates. What is this? This is a TV show for like fucking Fox or some shit. This is a different TV show. Yeah. You gotta keep your finger. That thing, go back, go back, go back, go back. Right there, hit play, think. And then there's chainsaw and me in roller skates. So I fell with the fucking chainsaw on and almost cut my fucking leg off. Oh, that's a real chainsaw? A real chainsaw. I go, what's going on? I wasn't thinking. What is this show? I've never even heard of this show. What is this? Uh, it's something I did, 30 grand. Wait, at what point did this happen though? I'm trying to figure this out. This is right after the first season of Bert Conqueror. First season's Bert Conqueror. They came to me. You'll see me jump off air of, hang on, don't go all the way. Go back, go back, go back, go back, go back, right there, right there. Okay. And what's the premise of this show? We were going to hit pause. We were going to the Flutag. The Flutag is an event where they fly homemade planes off an aircraft carrier. Right. Okay. So we went to Camden, New Jersey, uh-huh. Off an aircraft carrier. There was a hurricane coming in. This is an interesting part of this story. Yeah. There was a hurricane coming up the coast and it was fucking up the river. It was sucking water out of that river, that whatever river it was, it was sucking it out to the ocean because of the pressure system for whatever reason. And so the water was moving rapidly and they were like, the coast guard were on top. There's fucking a million people. I'm not even exaggerating. A million, because it's free. Million people out at this park to watch people go off in airplanes off with aircraft carrier. And the producers are like, I think it's too dangerous. I think we're going to call it. And the head of police. The chief of police goes, now, you're not calling it. And it's like, what? He goes, I got a million fucking people that want to see you fucking idiots go off a goddamn aircraft carrier. I don't give a fuck if you lose somebody. I got to ride on my hands. If a million people don't see people go off that fucking thing, they go, well, it's all voluntary. And he goes, there's got to be someone you're paying to do this. They looked at me and they're like, you're getting 30 grand. You're up. So I went first. And we almost got sucked off of the aircraft carrier. I landed on my ribs, broke my ribs, a shitting blood. It was such a fucking shit show. But this is me going off. The thing almost accommodates me. Wait. This is you. This is me going off right there. So. There? Yeah. That's you. That was me. And that's we lived. Oh, so you used to go right in the water. Some people got really fucked up. And the flu-tod crashes. Some people get, there was a news reporter. Pull up flu-tod crashes. Oh my God. You're going to see some crashes, crashes. See? Yeah, crashes. Oh, yes. Some people really get fucked up. Yeah. Wait, do some people really take off, well? Oh, yes. People fly legit. So you do a dance, a presentation. And then you build this. And then you see who can fly the furthest. Holy shit. And some people get fucking worked. And then some people like this. Well, he got some air. That's cool. Yeah. That's not good. That's not good. That's really bad. Ooh. That's really bad. And then watch him. Oh, you could tell these concussions left and right. Oh, dude. Oh, dude. Breaking your back. Oh my God. Holy shit. Just see the worst ones. Go to the queue. So those little bars, just go to the best ones. The ones with the highest bumps. Oh, the plane didn't even go. You know, honestly, rather the plane not go. Right. Oh my God. Look at her. Oh, shit. Oh. Oh, is she going to hit the fucking-- Oh, fuck that sucked. Oh. Like that, dude, I feel like it's concussed immediately. Onto the fucking thing. What about a good one? Type-in, longest flutog flight. All right, watch this. Oh, fuck. These were all-- some people just build something and jump off of them. But it's so hard because you can't time it right. Oh, yeah. He's just like this is going to-- Yeah. That's what you're hoping for. That's just what you want, yeah. We had-- that's part of the "What With Thing" is we had to learn to dance. So we did a dance up there. But we were so fucking nervous. I was like, I was like, we-- Everyone's got to jump. And there were my cameraman. A cameraman in Salman, I'll have to jump. So you're terrified? The fucking most afraid I've ever been out of all these things. Was this? You excited to go first. And the one person-- You went just straight in, right? Yeah, the one person that went before me was the day before it was a news reporter. And they had put her on a wing. And the wing she was from-- she was from Baltimore. Or whatever, Baltimore? What do you say? Again, Baltimore. Bodymore. She was from Baltimore. The city that reads, man. And she went off. And the thing went like this and dropped. And she was sitting on it. And it smacked the thing and broke her back. And they had to go in and get her out of the water in a fucking stretcher, and they put her in a stretcher. And then they're like, we go tomorrow. And I was like, what the fuck? I was like, this is looks dangerous. And they're like, oh, it's really dangerous. I keep believe you've done so many of these things. For somebody that seems to hate the idea of doing so many of these things. Oh, I mean, you know, we were talking the other day about you going surfing with the boys. Yeah. I got stuck on the outside one time. That's the scariest thing in the world is like, you know. So imagine, some imagining you probably had like three-foot waves or whatever. So usually what will happen is there will be an inside and then the outside. So then inside will have like a second break sometimes. And then the outside is where the big waves are. And I got, I paddled out. And there were like, okay waves. And I was fine with the okay waves. And all of a sudden they got really big. And it was starting getting darker. And it was like, it was really big. And I got stuck out there. And I couldn't, I mean, and I had to paddle even further 'cause they were breaking and there was so big. We were in Puerto Rico. There was so big that I couldn't think of even catching wave to bust on 'cause I was like, I'm gonna get severely hurt. Yeah. And I was out there for so long. And like, people were coming up and they were speaking Spanish to me. So I didn't know what the fuck they were saying. And they'd come out and go, I was like, no, I don't know. I'm scared. No, no, scaredo. And then it dude on a jet ski came out. And he was like, are you the man? Or I think I understood that. And I was like, pour five or. And then he put me on a sled with my board. Like I put my board on the sled and I held on. And he just is like yelling, hold on the fucko in Spanish. And he just waited for two waves and just fucking punched it. And I got to the shore and I was like, I'm never sure again. I'm never going in that sense, but. But it's terrifying. It's really big. Oh yeah. We did, we did box cart soapbox racing. But we did soapbox racing was like really fun. We didn't do the Red Bull one. We just did as fast as you can go. And you get going fast, but you feel very confident about it. Yeah, that's fucking fun. The Red Bull soapbox, have you seen these? I have seen some of these, yeah. And these are. Wait. Have you done this too? All right. And do this one. I did. You know what I did? They get fucked up too, I bet. Type in. Type in. Type in. San Francisco. Big wheel. Big wheel. San Francisco. Big wheel run. Okay. This is the wildest thing I've ever done. Bring your own big wheel. We did. This was so fucking fun. You get on a big wheel time and you bomb one of their biggest hills. Oh, no. And it's fucking 1,000 people and you are flying down a hill on a big wheel. Jesus Christ. You did this? And people are getting fucking worked. Oh, I bet. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. You know, type in shovel racing. Shovel? Have you ever got a shovel racing? No. Shovel racing is terrifying. Oh, this is you sit on a shovel, okay, just hit shovel racing in New Mexico. You sit on a fucking snow shovel and you go roughly 70 miles an hour down a fucking hill. It is fucking crazy. So we do it and I see, I'm watching people do it and there is no control. You have no control. None. You have zero control over anything. If you think you're in control, you're already out of control. And so you get going like 70 miles an hour. 70. The hill, depending on the hill you're at, we were doing, I think we were doing it in New Mexico. If I'm not mistaken. And it's fucking stupid shit and I'm watching dudes. Look at this. Hall-ass. And by the way, the shovel is in the working area of your crotch. Yes, sure. So if you bust, it's fucking bad. Now, we were doing it for travel channel and I knew as a rule of thumb, 50% looks like 100% on TV. Yeah. Yeah. Camera that tells it's 40. Kind of looks 70. Right? Yeah. Like you don't know how fast that is. That guy is looking how fast he's going. He's probably going 60 miles an hour, but it looks like a fuck 100, right? I get my lesson. And the first run I do, I hall-ass and I don't bust and they don't get it on camera. It's not part of the race. But I noticed is that like it didn't look like this. It didn't, this doesn't sell it. So there were these two girls. They were the traveling sneakers girls, they were, their name, they were, they were hired by ESPN. They had the traveling sneaked, traveling chucks. See if you can find them, the traveling chucks, ESPN, traveling chucks. They were two adorable girls who were doing the same thing I was doing for Bert Conker for ESPN and traveling chucks. Yeah, but it says shovel racing, traveling chucks. Yeah. But these girls didn't have the insight I had that you could get killed on these. So every time we do our event, we meet up with the traveling chucks after and go have beers with them. They were adorable. I mean, adorable and two, all the guys on my crew were in love with them. So they always wanted to hang out with them. So we go to the shovel racing and I say to the girl, I say to the one doing it, I go just see, you know, like 50% looks like 100% on film. She was like, oh, I'm going to charge it. I go, I wouldn't charge it because you can't, you're not in control. That was not them. That's definitely not them. It's definitely not them. Got it. And I was like, I go, but you're not in control. So like, and I going, you know, sometimes selling it for camera is better than going as fast as you can. I go, so I'm, because when I watch these guys go fast, that's not great. But what I'm going to do is I'm going to put my fingers in the snow and drag snow and I'm going to put my feet in the snow to have snow fly up over me. I think it will look better. And she was like, no, not me, I'm going for, I'm going for like, I'm trying to win. And I was like, no, no, no, don't, don't try to win. That's going to be a bad idea. So I go, I go maybe like 40 miles an hour and it's fast, it's very fast. And it, but it looks dramatic. There's snow everywhere when I get done. I have my face is covered in fucking snow. It looks like Santa Claus, my beard's covered in snow. It's a great read. This is fucking it. It's a great read. She goes next. She throws her feet up on top of the shovel. She puts her hands back in the air like this. And this bitch probably got up to about 80 miles an hour until she catches a corner. The shovel waxes her in the face. She goes flipping end over end over end over end rolls up into the berm and is motionless. They go in, they wake her up, they put her on a backboard and we're like, fuck, that's crazy. Nothing at the bar that night and she comes in with like a cast and a neck brace and she's like, Hey, can I get a beer? I was like, you should have gone 40 miles an hour. The traveling sucks. I saw them at theme parks. They were awesome. They were too real. She got real fucked up. She got really fucked up and they never stopped doing the show. They did stop. They had to stop doing the show because it's like some of the stuff, some of the stuff we did was like and you know, it's, it's the lack of attention. I remember the first time, the very first episode we were doing, Scott Sands, love Scott Sands, love Scott Sands. My cameraman, he had, this is before GoPro's, that's how old the show was. I was before GoPro's. Yeah. I remember when GoPro's sent GoPro's out and said, try our product, it's called a GoPro. Yeah. And we were like, eh, we're going to stick with, we had this camera that you had to have the bag with you. So when we filmed, the thing, things, you had a full bag that had a whole camera that had a line going out to a camera that hooked up and that's what filmed it but it recorded it into a bag. So anytime you did anything, you had to have a bag with you. When I did, when I jumped off, not the stratospheric, say I had cameras for that that flew with you. But when, when I did any roller coaster that I had to jump off freefall, they had to put a backpack on me with a cord that wrapped around me to shoot me. So we did a freefall in, in Cedar Rap, Cedar Point. It's like 420 foot freefall, power tower. And they were like, well, we don't want to see the bag. So let's do this. So the camera on your helmet, then we're going to wire it through the rigging all the way over to the other side of this. That's the power tower, one of the funnest rides in the world. That's not the power tower. Now that, you're on the power tower right there, it takes you up to the top and just fucking drops you. Look at that view. And so the bag had to be wired through the fucking ride and then the bag was over here. So it was wired and the bag's over here and they, I go in the very first day and they're like, all right, how about the ride? And I was like, cool. They were going to put this to your head and test it out. And I was like, whoa, hold on. You haven't tested it yet? And they're like, no, you're going to be fine. And I was like, yeah, but it's stuck to the rigging. Like, if it snags on something, it won't rip my head off and they're like, that's not going to happen. And I was like, well, have you, why don't you test it without me? And they're like, we can't. We need it on someone to know if it's going to go. And I went, wait, why would you test it on me? Does there like a homeless person or someone we can test it on? And they're like, no, like, well, you're the camera guy, Scott. You test it on you. It was fine. You can test it on me. Jesus Christ is like my first day. He's like, God, fucking talent is so dramatic. And then he goes, hey, we checked the whole rig, right? And they're like, well, no, we checked it a couple of times. She's like, well, hold on, maybe let's just check it a couple more times. Like, oh, it's different when it's your fucking head. But that was the whole production is like, they didn't know any of the things. They didn't know safety was like, ultimately, they were like, if he gets hurt, it's a better show. Yeah. I think people would probably watch those shows hoping that the host is like, maybe hurt. When I did her birthday, sent me under a house to be a rat collector. And they got a rat handler who from the movie Willard, do you know Willard? No. Oh, pull up the fucking cover of Willard. They got him the rat handler from Willard to bring all his a thousand rats in and release them on me. Oh, really? Yeah. Willard is where he's got covered in rats, right? Yeah. The guy, the guy that was the rat collector for Willard, hid under a house and sicked rats on me. The drama was what they wanted, right? Speaking of rat collecting, have you seen this family whose house is in full, in full what's it called? No, infested with snakes. Which family? Infested as in, they don't want these snakes there or this is like their pet snakes. They have hundreds of rat snakes. Dude. Where? I have no idea. I sent it to you. It's in the, I sent it to the link over here. Look at this snake, the snakes up everywhere around their house. If snakes climbing into their house, oh my god, here they go out and just a snake's just sitting on their fucking front porch. That's cool. Where is this? Who knows? But they say they, I was thinking, what animal are you cool with an infestation of? Not snakes. Now, now that would get most people running, dude, snake infestation. Come on. Would you be cool with a snake infestation? No. That's like the last animal because they show up at the, they like sneak on you. Yeah. They don't like, like we had rats at our old Agnes house, we had a rat infestation. Because of an orange tree. Yeah. So you have an orange tree in LA every rat shows up. Yeah. We had that too. And Woodland Hills. Yeah. Rats. Yeah. It was horrible. And then I shot one. And then one time we got up in the morning and I walked into the kitchen and all over the counter are pellets. I'm like, how are these on the counter? I don't understand what, I didn't know what was going on. I was like, those are rat droppings. So then you're like, wait a minute. What are the fuck? Where? So you try to figure it out. That's part of it is like in a home, you go like, so then we found under, like there's the main sink in a kitchen and then sometimes you have like a smaller, right? Like a wash sink that's separate. So it's like, it's almost like like a wet bar area. Underneath there, I open and it's just like, rat shit everywhere. And then you can see the pipe from that sink out outside the house. house. And where that pipe hits the wall, it's like, there's just a big gap. And you're like, oh, this is where they're come like, that's why there's shit here. This is where they come in. So I was like, I mean, I'm like, so freaked out by this. I'm like, fucking, I don't know what to do. So you know, you have like, you talk Christine. Oh, we, there's no way around it. Yeah. So we have that, you know, we clean that up. You have the, you know, like the rat people would ever come out. And like, what do you want to do? I'm like, just poison everything. Put poison everywhere. Like put traps and poison poison. They're like, well, this guy, I go, I don't care what it kills. Have it kill everybody in the neighborhood. Right? So we're just putting, they're like, we put in this, these, they're like, your dog could get a hold of this. I'm like, let it die. Just fucking put the poison out. So we put poison everywhere. And then, you know, whatever, like a few days later, you find more pellets. And I'm like, damn it. So then I just go to the, to the hardware store and the, like the cock filling. Yeah. Do I just fill that gap so entirely like where it's like foaming out, falling. And that sealed up every entrance. And that was the end of it. Like that, that's what need, like it was just the, the accessibility. I mean, they can squeeze in through, you know, like a dime. Oh, yeah. So you have to just have zero gaps. But that shit made me, I mean, I was, I lost sleep over that. That had me just, you could in Agnes, they would climb across our, our power line that went into our house. Yeah. And it would, it went up right to a thing. There was a hole that they come in. So they put a mesh shield over it, right? Yeah. So that they go, well, fuck it. We'll close it up. Whatever's in there dies, whatever's out there can't get back in. Fucking the girls. There's a mama rat on the line talking to a baby rat inside the house. And they're like, they're like, Dad, we can't let a mom not be with its baby. Oh boy. And I was like, wait, what do you mean? And they're like, okay, don't get mad. We opened up the shield to the baby could come in to maybe come out, but the mom went in. And I went, of course, the mom went in. It's inside all the good shit's inside. They're like, well, we broke the shield. So now they're all going back and forth. And I was like, mother fucker. So I took my baby gun and I went out with a bottle of wine one night. And I just sat there. There's a pellet gun. And I just sat there and I waited for them to cross. And I was like, I'm just going to take them off. Like one by one drunk. I think that I'm the kind of guy like Rogan that just fucking hunt my own game process, my own meals. First ones. I'm like, I got, I got, I started crying. I'm like, what the fuck? Just die. Just die. Grabbed it, wrapped it in tail, slammed it and I was like, why won't you die? Yeah, that shit's, it's rough, dude. We in Silver Lake, we had rats on the, because also just in that terrain, like you would see them crossing power lines and phone lines and everything. And so I was working as a site rep where I would go to like production offices or like locations. And when I was in the main Hollywood location office downtown, I saw one of the maintenance guys. And I was like, Hey, you know, got these rats at the house. I don't know what to do. And he was like, Oh, I got some free man. He goes, take this shit. And it was this like pad that you peel the top. And then there's like sticky shit. And they, they get stuck in it and their metabolism just immediately like kind of shuts down. He said like they can't, they have to be able to move constantly. He's like, this is the shit right here except these up. So I fucking, I set it up in the backyard. I took a lot, like a dollop of peanut butter. And I put it like right in the middle. And he's like, that's what you do. This is, he's like, let me know how it goes. So I go in, he's like, how to go? I go, I put the peanut butter out, put the sticky pad out. And in the morning, the thing was flipped over and shit on. And he goes, those are some big rats. I got a cool pad. We also had a possum in the inside above my bed. Like so in my bedroom, in the ceiling, you would just hear like all this great, and it was a possum that I think had a baby up there. Yeah. And so you would just hear claws scratching all the time. So that one I had, I called like an animal control person. That dude came out like straight out essential casting, like 14th in LA, yeah, wraparound shades, you know, like he was like, I don't, I don't know what the fuck to do. And he's set up a cage. And he was all proud of it. He showed me like, put this bait right here. And he goes, that possum's going to come in here and that door is going to shut. And he's like, it's going to be pissed. Whatever comes in, it's going to be pissed as shit. He's like, you just give me a call. Come pick it up. And I go, what are you going to do with it? He's like, I'll release it out like some parks. Yeah, date to farm Tom. Sure thing. That thing was like on, like clockwork. That, and that thing when, when you find me suppressing that you, what? That's me. That's you right there. Yeah. It's crazy that even your staff interrupts my stories. It's not just you. Like, I'm fucking talking and your staff's like, I'll play a video. It looks good with the snow flying by, right? Yeah. Seventeen minutes later. Perfectly. That's why it would happen with the possum. Just even my staff. Is that me? Like, yeah, here's you with the thing you were talking about half an hour ago. You want to watch it? We know we had a possum kill our chickens. A possum killed the chickens killed all our chickens, one by one by one within a week. One by one. So the next morning to go out, the another one's dead. Another, another one's dead within a week. And we were like, mother fucker. And Leanne's like, it's a, it's a possum. I know it's a possum. Wait, do they eat them? They would just kill them. Just kill them. They never even ate them. They just ripped their heads off. Holy shit. So we wake up to find a headless chicken and the girls were still young. We had, we were still living over an agnus. And so we bring them over to our house over here. We bury them in the backyards. They could be with us. Say a moment. We'd say a prayer. Then we'd come home. Maybe we'd stay later and have pizza. Let the sun set. Go home. So the very last one, I think it was Lucy Liu. That's Iless chicken. That was like, I look at one. I was such an interesting person. It doesn't, it doesn't. She has no empathy for you. If it doesn't affect her, she has zero empathy. It's a good trade. She's, she's, she's like, the first one to kill was Leanne. She goes, well, at least it's not mine. And we're like, well, no, I know, but mom lost her chicken. And she goes, I know, but Lucy Liu still here. We're like, well, I know, but that's not, yeah, that's not. And then Georgia's was the next one. And she was like, well, thank God I'm the only one with a chicken. And we're like, no, that's not what you're supposed to say. It's supposed to say, like, oh, Georgia, I feel bad for it. And she goes, yeah, but I don't, my chicken's not dead. And we're like, oh, you want to test it? Why the fuck can't you just understand? And then when Lucy Liu got out, I was like, no, do you realize how this is affecting all of us? And we're like, now it's affecting all of us. So, I mean, dude, she's 18 and she still does this shit. She still does this. And so we bury Lucy Liu. We have pizza and we invite friends over for Lucy Liu's burial in the backyard, bury Lucy Liu. We come home. This is when we have Priscilla and Izzy and Mona, but Priscilla and Izzy have a possum in their mouth that they're ragdolling. It's playing possum. It's playing dead. They're ragdolling it in our living room. It is soaking wet. It is almost hairless. And they have been fucking with this thing. They caught it in the backyard. They brought it into our house. And they are ragdolling it around. And Isla's like, fucking kill it. You killed our chickens. Get it dogs. Get it like into like Michael Vick shows up at Isla. Yeah. And we're like, and Leanne puts a bucket on top of the possum. He's playing dead in the corner and calls. What's he gonna call it? And they're like, just let it go. So we were like, so we went to our neighbor's house and let it go over there. It was fine. Yeah, the gruesome. So he's dropped it off at their house. We're like, no, I don't want the possum. Yeah. Then they were like, oh, fucking dog got attacked by a possum. Like, shut the fuck up. It's so crazy. How does that even happen? All right. We should wrap it. We should wrap it. Maybe you, uh, what's the plan for the rest of the week with boys? Just more hanging out, going to beach. Yeah. Yeah. We're going to go surfing again. Yeah. Fuck. Yeah. I would cancel everything right now to go surfing with you guys. Oh, dude. We're doing like, it was fun. We're what we walked out of the beach.

Otherwise, they're just like, ah, like just in your face, biting you, fucking punching you. They fucking just wail on me. Dude, like full swings. I told me that when I went, she went to college and she called up. She goes, uh, how's, how's it living with mom? She'd always live in Leanne for like two years while I was on the road. Yeah. She was living with Leanne. And I was like, I was like, it's good. And she goes, she talks a lot. I go, yeah. She goes, you got all the words, dad. Like you know, you don't get to share any, like you get all the words. She heard all the words until she sees you and then you get all her words. I go, yeah, I am getting all her words.
