Welcome to We're Still Cool, Right? The weekly podcast where the conversation flows smoother than top-shelf whiskey. And cool, well, it never really left. Grab a drink and hang out with Erik, Mike, and Shaun while they dive into nostalgia and attempt to answer the age-old question. We're still cool, right?

three or four more plane crashes. We're in the playoffs. We're back. Plane crashes? What are you talking about? Literally, because we're going to talk about some football, obviously. And so I looked up just short football quotes. Apparently, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach from back in the day, John McKay, said three or four plane crashes, and we're in the playoffs. Playoffs? I thought that was hilarious.

I definitely 100% thought that was a 9-11 joke. I was like, we're going to have to start over. Well, it is now, you dick. God. I can't help that it was a twofer. You're going to get us canceled. Yeah, well, it'd be like the fourth time. There's another funny one that was from... I'm so canceled, they just bring us back. There was another funny one from John McKay, the same guy. He said, we didn't tackle well today, but we made up for it by not blocking.

I don't know who the fuck this guy is, but I'm going to look him up. I don't know. Sometimes when the coaches fucking have just complete meltdowns, it's fucking great. Oh, it's the best. Although, when you're a sideline reporter and you ask, or whatever, after the game and you ask the dumbest fucking question, you just deserve to be smacked sometimes. We'll get into it. There's already like 10 things I want to say. Because, anyway. Yeah. Hey, welcome back, everybody. Woo! It's the greatest time of the year. Football has started again. The most wonderful time for a beer. Yes. So, yeah, let's get into it.

That being said. how about this drink yeah talk about it why is it red because fucking go chiefs that's fair i understand i know everybody will be like a week behind oh now i know why you made red to match the fucking yellow middle fingers you eventually this whole place is gonna be red and yellow we're not even gonna realize he's doing it god damn right yeah so the drink of the week brought to you by Benz Beverage Depot 501 7th ave big white building beautiful white building. Beautiful building. Pristine. Yes. Soon to have a mural of us on the side. Yeah. God damn right. If we keep saying it, maybe they'll do it.

We just got a will and they'll do it. I dig it. Matt, I know you're unloading a truck, so you keep thinking about that, right? So, the drink of the day, I just kind of made it up. I wanted something red for the Chiefs, and it's called Go Chiefs, because I just made it up. Can I be honest with you? These are my favorite ones when we just make them up. Might be good, might be shit. i don't know let's figure it out sometimes it's good sometimes it's yeah so it is um pineapple juice strawberry rum black cherry rum campari for a little bit of bitterness to balance out the sweetness for a little bit of red and then some cherries on top i love it you know i love any drink where i can stick my fat hand in here and fish out the cherries when it's done so i think it's worth putting a cherry in just so he makes that comment every time stick my fat hands it's true i just love the clinking sound where we're like oh what are you guys doing fat fishing for cherries it's really good you know fucking pineapple juice is a great one in drinks it just it really it sets the stage for a certain flavor well it can fix anything i feel like like i thought about a little to this or that's like pineapple juice good to go i thought about coconut rum too but like we kind of did that last time so that's true yeah yeah or they have those syrups like the the cream de coco or yeah they're super they're fucking pure sugar so but they look fucking awesome yeah so we'll have to try one of those one of these times

that's good man it's good well done go chiefs the chief should uh sponsor chiefs have their home opener this it's a home opener tonight monday night football yeah against the denver obviously this comes out a little bit later but allen jersey we are pretty fired up that's for sure yes you guys are cheese fans i support them for you guys well remember i am a fair weather fan like i'm already like leaning towards the bears just because the way they play that so you know what i mean like i i get on and off teams pretty quick you know what i respect that you can admit it oh i am 100 i am loyal to notre dame number one then the hawks and then i fucking bounce around yeah yeah that's fair i've said that like i'm obviously a rams fan but i always root for the bears it's like it's a chicago team well i'll just yeah since i was younger i always did too but i will say i generally start root for players you know i mean that's what attracts me so like my homes obviously um caleb williams the fucker hadn't gone to usc he'd be great but i really struggle sometimes just because it's usc i fucking hate usc that's just you know they were fun to watch on sunday though yeah yeah they look good yeah he does some crazy shit but anyways it's a real deal uh god damn what we're talking about right before i said oh fantasy whatever i you god damn it what did you say right before this and i said well there's a million things i want to say now something about a name anyway i thought i had the greatest fantasy team name in history oh fuck what did you say it's driving me crazy now because he doesn't remember i know we have that right i know i know so obviously i started a new

job recently and like day one they're like hey do you want to join a fantasy football league and i'm like yeah i dropped out of fucking three so i didn't have as many let's do it right so i joined another one and i'm like i wonder if anyone's i thought this up on my own i thought it was genius because if anyone knows marshawn lynch you remember when he hated post-game interviews yeah so just here so i don't get fined or whatever yeah so that he like he got fined and so he just showed up and that's all he would say is i'm just here so i don't get fined every question oh you're talking about how they ask stupid questions that's what it was okay so i named my team i'm just here so I don't get fired. And I don't think anyone got it. And I was like, that is such a good name for that league. You know what I mean?

I'm a new guy. It's a work league. So good, but I feel like you had to use that name the next year after the Super Bowl when you did it. It would have made more sense. Because you are pushing it with people that don't know. People don't remember. And with short attention span, it's a great name. I'll give you that. But, yeah, when you have those great ones, then you have to explain it. Yeah, it's like when you have to explain a joke It's not fucking funny now Yeah I kind of went down a rabbit hole Every year it's like, what are the funny team names Or the fantasy football names And it's funny because Usually you tie it to a player or a team you like I usually don't just because There's not usually Rams That are like They don't make sense in them for the most part This year I went with Marshall Falk He's my favorite player of all time Go Falk yourself Go fuck yourself.

It's pretty good. So I got to say, though, I think Kara's name is one of the greatest ones I've ever seen. Did you see what it was? I don't think so. Face down, pass up. I was like, how have I never heard that one before? Nice. I was like, it's such a good name. Nice job, Kara. I know. So anyway, go fantasy football. Did she come up with it? Did she? I can't remember if she found it online, but I went through thousands of those lists. I have never seen that one. I never have a good name. reason why I don't have a name on my boat. I'm just not creative that way. Or like, I can't commit to one. Name your boat trophy husband.

What's funny is I've stuck with the same one forever. You have. Well, not in ours, because we changed them up last year. I've stuck with the same one forever, and I don't ever want to explain it to anybody anymore. Like our friend group I totally will but like okay wait. What is it? I want to see if I can guess like why I've been stabbing That is it I remember that now. I don't know I think it's funny I've never got a lot. What is it? He was a porn star He was like a guy that had a boat and so you'd always take all the girls. Oh my god name your boat captain stabbing Literally if you google him, what do you think Ashley? He's wearing it. He's like this gross looking dude but he's wearing a captain's hat.

He wears a captain's hat while he does it? Oh man. I've never, I mean I'll be making a note to follow up on that. Get on old Captain Stabbing. How come nobody wants to ride on the boat? Oh, nobody on the news? Go ahead. My picture is always like something to do with boats. Just to try and tie it together. Like I've had the like flippy floppies gif of the um lonely island video oh yeah i've had that i've had actually on one of my teams this year i have the actual picture of him i found it online but it's funny because even if even though it's him no one knows who the fuck he is i bet so i feel like there are people that they know they're like that's funny they're like they're like they look at you and they're like hey i know you only got certain people and they're like attaboy yeah like that's my guy right there yeah that's like I, too, am a degenerate.

That's awesome. Oh, that's real good. Yeah. So. What do you got? It's time for one of my favorite improvised segments. Sure. Random shit Logan found on the internet. Yay! I love this. So I'm back on Reddit looking up fantasy football team names. Okay. Here's some of the best that people have found from the year so far. Okay. My God, that's JSN Bourne. Jackson Smith and the J.B. sir they've hit the second bowers a second 9-11 joke you really are trying to get us canceled not yet to infinity and bijan oh that's a pretty good one neighbors think i'm selling dope this one have you left uncurcum sized pinnocks oh my god see i didn't see that one either mine is playing with mcconk this one's bad we're gonna get your hands for this one good i chase brown people jesus christ oh chase brown why'd you have to do it to us so um it's every year it's one of my favorite things it's just like the new names for the year people are so fucking creative when it comes out of that stuff. I know. It's not at all.

No. Mine in our league, I was pretty happy about. I did find it on the internet. It's a good one. And hold on, it's another one of those things where people are like, I know. And some people don't understand. What is it? I don't know. Logan, it's a help me, I'm stuck, Step Burrow.

So he laughs, so he knows what it means. Yeah, I'm familiar with porn. They're like, ended up I gotta know.

I got it now. Alright, alright. Like, even when I fucking read them, I don't even know what they are. So why don't I come up with them? This one's Stafford infection. EW! Oh, I could have been that one, though. I like that one. You know what? Fuck him, by the way. I'm gonna just get into it quick, so we're not- we need to not talk football the whole time, but- I was very excited for the Rams game, because I'm like, the defense is supposed to be good. I knew Aaron Donald wasn't going, because he's like, fuck Australia, I'm not going over there. over there whatever but i was still excited to see like miles garrett see what the new offense looks like they look like so bad miles garrett had not like he did nothing like i mean now he's hurt now he's yeah now he's out for four or five weeks for surgery and i'm like man the browns look smart as shit right now jesus christ sean you really did almost drop that so yeah i'm just like what the i'm waiting for aaron donald to say he's on retiring or retiring again because miles is gone that would be pretty funny if he's like no and i'm not coming but you guys suck yeah coming back to this i'm good so hopefully next week's better but anyway yeah that came fucking sucked but yesterday was awesome though the whole slate was fun there were so many touchdowns it started with a bang i'm just so happy football's back did you uh did you see all the memes and stuff about mcveigh over the summer like god picture him on the boat with his super hot wife and his freaking abs. Yeah, he's jacked.

So you can make a team name out of McVeigh's abs or something. That's true. I'm sure I could. I wish I had an ab. I got some somewhere. They've just been covered up for a few years. I say mine get cold so I keep them covered. I had a buddy one time he says, I just keep them well padded and protected. Yeah, exactly. I don't want to risk damaging them. They're under there somewhere. I got the roof over the tool shed here so we gotta keep, you know. Exactly. This is the last team I wanted to read. Yeah. This person said, mine is off constantly. That way when you win, the alert you get is, you beat off constantly.

Did I ever tell you about our team name? Remember when there was a three-on-three basketball tournament that used to be downtown? Yeah. Did you guys ever do that? No, I didn't do it. I don't know. This would have been way before Logan's time. They had this big thing, and they had all the different age brackets. So there's like old guys and young guys and was when we were in, we just graduated high school. This is like 88.

Um, so this, uh, our team name was off in the dark. So same thing, you know, so you'd be like, all right guys, all we got to do is beat off in the dark. All right. And then we can get to whatever. The only thing I can think of that's close to this. Cause that's so fun. Like that's again, that's one of those things I would never think of, right? But I'll never forget. I used to play this game a long time ago with my buddy Nick and you could make shit like like you you forged weapons and whatever And his character's name was kids in China and I didn't understand why Well when you make something then like another player buys it it you can anyone can click on it and it says made by kids in China He had it for like four years and then they made him change his name I'm like fuck off like he had it that long we had it And the guy was going around with the video camera like, you know, so what do you think your chances are of beating off in the dark tonight?

And we ended up taking second in the tournament. And it was on, like, you know, the news or whatever. And they, like, read the names. And he's like, yeah, I'm not even touching that one.

It was great. It's so funny because I don't think we talked about this before. but my new dart team name the competitive dart team yeah it's off in church really god these are somebody else somebody else on the team threw it out there and i was like that sounds great god these are making a comeback i love it all i gotta do is beat off in church yeah also as a reminder don't ever call me to sub on that team Oh, I like it. I like it a lot. Yeah. We're back for more. God. So should we talk a little bit about your snafu this weekend, or are we just going to let that one go? Erik is talking to you. I had no snafus Oh fuck I know It preemptive preemptive So I you know I decided to have Just a little get together for the Iowa State game You know I had my daughter and So I was like I'll just do something on my place And I was like thinking all week what I'm gonna Make and I was like I'm gonna do ribs I haven't done ribs In a while so I bought five fucking big Racks of ribs like 130 Bucks of meat I'm like perfect I'm so Excited for these Knew exactly I was gonna cook them the whole thing by the way i think i've talked about how the last the first time i used it for logan's grad party it had this it acted up once right at the end of the cook and i was able to fix it but it did this thing where basically the fire backed up into the auger so smoke was coming out of the the pellet box and i googled it and they're like yeah tragers aren't good if if they get dust and shit in a middle backup i'm like i never had that problem how the fuck you supposed to keep the dust

out too by the way green mountain has a port you just take the shot back and well so this has it too but it's like it's not separated there's not a great so you're just sucking out all the pellets exactly so i was like whatever okay fixed it burned it that day i had the get together i let that thing roll for three hours with nothing on it just to make sure like it's all cleaned out totally fine get the ribs on maybe waited a little long to put them on because i was like well i want to have them ready during the game and then out of nowhere i look over and there's a fucking code i'm like what the fuck is this and i open the pillbox there's smoke billowing out of it and i'm I'm just like, I fucking hate this goddamn smoker, dude.

It's the worst $800 I've ever spent. I was so excited for this thing. I've used it three times, and I honestly just hope it blows up at this point. I'm so over it. That little fucking green mountain I had was a champ, and that thing lasted me like eight years. That was like a camping one. It was like this big. Two butts on it. That's literally the capacity. I mean, I could do three racks of ribs in it if I put a shelf in it. I fucking would trade this thing for that in a heartbeat now. I hate it so much. I would push hard to get your money back. I know. Have you called Traeger? Yeah. Their customer service is terrible.

Really? I thought they were better than that. No, they're not better than that. Do better, Traeger. Fuck off. When did you get it? Well, Logan's grad party was what? June? I remember you talking about it. That's why I don't think I can do anything about it now. It's all put together. It's been used. You know what I mean? I'm guessing they'll be like, well, we could send you a new auger. I'm like, it's not the fucking auger at all. It's the fucking design of it. If they have a known problem, though, You think they would have some sort of a known fix. I bought it through Home Depot, but it's like, they're not going to do anything about it.

This would be on Traeger. I don't know. I think I just need to. I should have called him that night when I was crashing out. I was so fucking pissed. Email him. That way you don't have to deal with the, like, you know, barriers that can't talk to you. Yeah. Yeah. Because, yeah, that is how it was. We were talking about it. He's like, I'm so fucking pissed. But what can I do about it? I go, well, if only you had a fucking podcast where you could tell everybody about how shitty it was. I honestly have been trying not to think about it because I was just so fucking mad that night. By the way, they turned out great.

They were still delicious. They were fucking so good. I brought him home to Cooper, and he's like, these are the best thing I've ever had. He's like, I'm like, you need to text Mike and let him know. I'm like, he's having a hard time. He's like, why? These are perfect. I'm like, it's a long story, bud. But he's like, yesterday, I'm like, hey, did you ever text Mike? He's like, yeah. I'm like, okay, good. He's like, thanks for the ribs. They're so good. And I was like, love you, buddy. I'm glad you got some. But I just was mad because I like the whole 2-2-1 method. And so they didn't get wrapped.

And I like to do the butter, the brown sugar, all that stuff. And at the end, I was going to braise them. I had a couple different brand new barbecue sauces to try. Like one that's spicy, one that's sweet. And I didn't get to do that. Again, they were still good because they were seasoned great. It just fucking enjoyed. I fucking went to town on them, man. They were very good. I didn't eat enough. They all got eaten. I mean, there was only probably like half a rack left. so i mean that was only just because everyone nobody wanted to take the lot dude they were fucking delicious um but the other thing i was talking about this with ashley because the other thing was the fucking game coming to an end oh at the same time so we're there for the iowa state game and the game comes down to a field goal like most iowa state games yeah um this time it happens to be iowa kicking the field goal and his fucking TV goes out.

Seriously. I'm just like, what the fuck is wrong with me? It just starts fucking spinning. Just starts buffering literally as they're lighting up. As they're lighting up to snap it. And I am somebody who's had tons of games at my, you know, parties. And I couldn't stop laughing just because I've done all that shit has happened to me before. And I'm like, poor fucking Mike. But I'm like, you know what? I'll give you. You know, like, because you always give everyone so much shit that I'm like, I don't care. I'm fucking giving him shit. Oh, yeah. You should absolutely give him shit. And Ashley's like, careful.

Don't be so mean to him. I'm like, he fucking deserves it. He has TV right here next to me. Yeah. And I'm like, he can't fucking control the TV going. Like, it had. Yeah, it wasn't me. Yeah, it wasn't you. But it was, like, so fucking perfect. So then he has this whole setup, and we're over there, and then we're all watching it. Yeah, who pulled up on the phone? Wasn't it you? Or, oh, it was you? No, it wasn't me. Oh, it was Nathan, I think. Yeah. Yeah, Nathan had his fucking phone on. So we're all. There's fucking 15 people around a phone. Like, did they make it? And by the way, there was a lot on the line.

Kara went to Iowa State. So like we are literally the whole house divided thing. And this year we went with change. You know, the loser has to change a profile picture for like, I think it was a month. And then but the big thing is whoever lost has to rock the other team's flag on their house for the entire college football season. Yeah, I was like, I don't want to do that. When we first agreed on it, I literally, in my head, we just said flag. I was thinking it was one of those yard garden flags. I'm like, whatever. I can deal with that. But then it was like, no, we meant the huge. And I'm like, I swear to God, if they fucking shit the bed on this one.

And the Hawkeyes have always, in my lifetime, almost always beat the shit. Like, it's very skewed. Kara's brought a lot of bad luck our way. Exactly. Because they have a once since she's been around. No, I started dating her. We've lost two years in a row. And I'm like, I'm just like, you know, it's not usually like this, right? She goes, I don't care. i'm like fuck she said that that night she's like i don't like being on this end welcome to the party pal yeah you've had a good two years god damn it so it all worked out they won i'm safe my smoker sucks and it was still good it sucks you're dealing with that and i hope trigger makes it right because that is bullshit it was expensive and you've done three cooks on it and it hasn't fucking worked so yeah you know because when you were trying to explain to me I was like dude calm down it can move in the the degrees a little bit you know like I was like I think you're over exaggerating a little bit Mike and then all of a sudden I'm like oh fuck you're not at all like this thing is yeah backing up and then you're like yeah it's at 450 right now I'm like what yeah exactly it was like 225 and it was up to 450 it's supposed to bounce 20 up and 20 down is what they say but you know what again every year I had a green mountain you said it's 225 it maybe went three degrees one way at the most of where you're at.

That's what I have. I thought you were over-exaggerating to the point where I was going to be like, I'll fucking trade you. I'm glad I didn't fucking say it. I'll trade you. I'll trade you plus a hundo. You want to do it?

I might take that just so I can ghostwrite it down the fucking hell. The Hawks won. We watched the Notre Dame game before. They beat the absolute piss out of Rice. 50-something. I don't even remember. 52. But now we're on to NFL and big games tonight. It was perfect. Yesterday was great. Nice and cool. We had the fucking windows open. Made soup. Almost soup season. Great. Yeah. Aaron made soup yesterday. Great. White chicken chili. Kara and I literally were talking last night about how excited we are for soup. And so we're going to make one this week. But then it brought up this question. Is chili soup?

We kind of count in our, I don't know. It's soup or not. we kind of count it just as a it's between it's like a stew and a soup okay right so because i i somebody we were with said no and i said is chowder a soup and they said yes and i'm like well isn't chili just a chowder it's a really thick well i think you need to pronounce it chowder chowder and then you can then you can call it the chowder i put them all in the category of soup i do too and you just eat it out of a bowl with a spoon yeah it's a fucking soup like i mean that's kind of like i don't get up get too caught up in that like the whole is a hot dog a sandwich kind of a thing you know i mean to me that's yeah you know what chili is it's fucking delicious and you can have it along on your soup days so hot dogs a taco you're dividing the nation right now eric calm down it's because you want to put your wiener in a taco doesn't mean you're gonna make it nice nobody makes a sandwich like that like i mean yeah i let's not even get into that one Fuck. I've never taken a stance on that one.

Are you passing this to me? Pour the rest in both ears. Yeah. So anyway, that's what I got. I knew we had to talk football for a minute. We're all excited. You know, this is our... If you've been listening since we've been around, you know this is our favorite time of the year. I think we're going to come up with some fun shit this football season. Maybe some bets. Maybe some fun stuff like that. It is. So, do you guys care if I jump in here? I want to... Can I tell a really, really quick story? really fast while we're on football. We went to the Iowa Hawkeyes game, the opener. Oh, fuck. How did you not miss?

Was it like sitting on the sun? It was the scariest thing I've seen in a long time. So it was extreme heat warning. Obviously, it was a really big deal. We knew it was hot. We were doing everything we could. We had a little mini fans. We had a ton of water. We were as prepared as we could be, but we were up near the top, and we were in the sun. In the sun, yeah. so we kind of kept taking breaks we actually left at halftime um and a lot of people did yeah a lot of i mean they're beating the fucking shit out of them so like good but for sure for sure um we while we were sitting there during the first two quarters i watched four different people get carried away really and then before we left liam went to the bathroom and i was waiting out to the bathroom for him which is right next to the first aid section yeah and i was there for maybe about 10 minutes and i watched over a dozen people get wheeled up like in wheelchairs taking away any tvs with ivs eyes roll like scary scary scary stuff i felt like it was like an epidemic yeah it was horrifying well and when i we went to this vana banana games game at kinnick yeah and it was hot that day i was terrified but it was even hotter for you i mean like i was soaked through my clothes that day yeah i can't imagine being there for that it was hot and everybody gets drinking at those like a lot because the tailgate and i said it's no joke it's awesome you know what i mean but like and we didn't know we were out there for a little bit i mean we walked quite we walked from the golf course you know sure yeah but some people have been out there since you know for hours right

well especially for the opener you know what i mean like yeah i've been waiting all year for this you know what i mean and they get out there for it but yeah well and not to bring up something super sad but like i mean a member of the marching band died yes which is like the craziest thing but then they did an awesome uh you know tribute to him at the this last one at the halftime show it was awesome yeah recipes to that guy so anyway it was i mean it was a good game obviously they they crushed them which is cool yeah um but man it was scary yeah you know please when things like that happen you have to take care of yourself yeah when it's that hot cool i mean you can have cooling fans and fans and cooling towel it doesn't matter dude like when you're baking in the sun like that there's no reprieve like it's that's bad which we got into that conversation i would much rather go to know a fucking freezing cold game than a hot game 100 yeah 100 because you can just layer up you know i mean then like you get there and you're all packed in together and you at least find yeah it gets a little bit warmer in the stands because you're all and you're all you know you can layer on and you're good to go you know but like fucking hot and then you're all packed together it's not good and that's like during the day the sun was just beating on it too so it was yeah and i'm not talking about colleges specifically what i'm talking about is professional nfl teams that are building new stadiums that don't have roofs it's crazy isn't it what the fuck are you doing what are you talking about i don't care how nostalgic it makes you to play in the snow like what are you talking about yeah it is 2026 and you're proposing building stadiums that don't close right come on it doesn't make any sense i don't know this is feels like the age thing

because i'm like i don't like it so but i don't hate it i mean i get it i see it for football i I like it. Baseball would be weird. If Wrigley was a dome, that would bother me. I'm not suggesting that you go back and change old ones that previously exist. If we're building new teams, we have the technology to make these things better and more enjoyable. You're already spending a trillion dollars to build it. Money's an issue. You can set rules about when it's too much, but if Kinnick had a roof that day, it would be a very different story. True. It's for those extreme times. When we went to the Cubs game, when they played the brewers at and that's a dome in milwaukee it was hot and they had it open and we were cooking and i'm like why the fuck aren't they closing this thing yeah then the next day we drove by it was like 10 degrees cooler and they had the dome closed i'm like i don't understand i don't understand when they when and if they do i don't know if it's the sun or what probably some sort of a guideline that they have that's what i mean i just don't know what it is well and i mean when it's closed are they air conditioning the whole thing have to be which yeah i'm sure that I mean, I understand it's crazy.

It's more like airflow than air conditioning. Sure. Geothermal. Yeah. All right. I don't know, man. I hear you. Hey, I'm glad you lived. Glad you're okay. Yeah, me too. It was a little scary, though. Yeah, for sure. Who's going to play you in the movie? Of that experience? Anne Hathaway. Anne motherfucking Hathaway. All day long, baby. She's so fine. All right. So I wanted to bring back, or I want to not bring back. I wanted to introduce a new segment. A new segment? New segment. I don't have a sound for this. You got to warn me. Yeah. I didn't even tell Logan this yet. Remember when, okay?

Say what? I don't know if we dance with you, Nate. Hey. That's all I got. I got thinking a lot of, like today when I was thinking about our just different stuff we'd be talking about a lot of our stuff is like we still like still cool but it's also like nostalgia you know that we talk about and so not everything is going to get like a scale right like something's just something to talk about you know and so i did this i think there's a couple different ways this can go and you know as we've learned the only way to figure out what works on these things is try them a couple different ways so like one of the couple things that were popping in my head when i thought about this is you remember when doctors used to smoke like in the exam room like that was a normal thing yeah totally acceptable yeah you know um i've only seen it in the movies right but it was it was a real well i mean it was before me too but yes that would be it was legit it wasn't had smoking rooms yeah the the teacher's lounge i do remember that used to be just covered in smoke you know um how about it was this was like the 80s when it was like i'm eating healthy and it was a bagel for breakfast.

That was eating healthy. That what they considered eating healthy But with that being said I thought this kind of led me down another path that i asked you guys what year you guys graduated because i thought i bring out some popular stuff from the year you graduated oh god you're gonna get me so excited and so i started with mike because i figured maybe you and i would remember his stuff i am the youngest since you know this you're so much older i am older than anything i'm privy to the nation so yeah so in 2001 do you know who the president of the united states was bush it is so it was a transition yeah clinton was out in yeah in january and bush took over there for it so um but the other one i had here was um the top 10 grossing movies oh fuck i'll never remember this so you don't need to guess them i'll just kind of read some of them off and you'll tell me what you think here for it so harry potter um the sorcerer's stone was number one never saw it really yeah i didn't either still haven't no did you were you a harry potter guy not i didn't watch it back then but i've seen him like multiple times now i haven't i haven't seen any of them lord of the rings uh the solid ship of the ring i don't know which number that is midnight showing yeah nope i haven't seen any of those uh monsters inc was number three hell yeah shrek was number four hell yeah oceans 11. oh man um number five pearl harbor number six i liked that movie i loved

pearl harbor yeah um the mummy returns oh yeah um jurassic park 3 what in 01 that was number eight Yep. Planet of the Apes was number nine. Never seen any of them. Yeah, like multiple. I mean, how many times has that been remade? Dude, I know. I wouldn't even know where to start. I've never seen any of them. Logan, if you've got time, will you look at how many times Planet of the Apes has been made? Like the movie? Rebooted or whatever. Because wasn't the original one like Charles Heston? It could have been. I don't know. Number 10, Hannibal. Ooh. That was the one with Edward Norton, I think. No.

No? It's not Science of the Lambs. Yeah, it's the second one. No, I know, but I'm saying Science of the Lambs was the first movie I ever went to in a theater. I think I've talked about that. It wasn't Silence of the Lambs. I thought that was the one that had Edward Norton in it. Is it not? Maybe that was Red Dragon. I don't know. Sorry, Logan found.

Red Dragon. Okay. Edward Norton plays FBI agent Will Graham enlisting to help a serial killer. Hannibal Lecter played by Anthony Hopkins. Yeah, that was a good one. The Planet of the Ace franchise has been made into 10 live-action feature films across three distinct eras. Jesus. The original series ran from 1968 to 1973 and featured five films. There's a standalone remake, the Tim Burton one in 2001, and the modern series from 2011 to 2024. So it was the Tim Burton one that was kind of a... The Tim Burton one did well at the time, but they didn't continue it. Yeah, I was going to say. I haven't seen one of them, but...

Neither have I. So I thought that was interesting. So yeah. And you're graded 2001. Yeah. All right. It's a good year. How about the top 10 songs? Oh, fuck. Do you even guess any of them? Top 10 songs. So it's not so bad with years. That's the problem. Well, that's why I thought like your graduation year might like trigger something that you could remember from it. No. All right. I like I. The funny thing is my eighth grade graduation. I remember a song because it was a. What was that song by the Verve pipe? oh we were merely freshmen or whatever oh okay that song was us going into freshman year so like that i'll never forget okay but all right anyway how old were you in in 2001 i was born in october of 92 so nine eight nine god you're a fucking baby okay um all right number 10 independent woman from Destiny's Child.

Bootylicious, number nine, Destiny's Child. Where's the Party At from Nelly. I don't think you're ready for that, Jelly. Lady Marmalade. Marmalade, yeah. Marmalade. Lady Marmalade. Marmalade. Moulin Rouge, yeah. Marmalade.

Tell me. It wasn't me. It wasn't me. What's going on? All for you, Janet Jackson. That's a good song. I'm real with J-Lo and Ja Rule. Because I'm real. Yeah. Fallen with Alicia Keys was number two. and Hanging by a Moment Lifehouse. Oh my god. I forgot about that. That was number one. That was one?

Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense. I don't remember it being one. I'll be honest, I couldn't even think of it until you just sang it. Now it's ingrained in my head. That was off the Billboard charts. That's where I pulled that from. Wow. What a year, baby. They had a number of albums, but talk about a true one-hit wonder. they had a couple other songs but nothing like that to be number one for a whole year that's pretty good fashion styles do you remember the fashion style back then sort of 2001 feels like a like a weird in between it was it kind of bled over it's not going to be individual here with it but it was a big time for women for like the velour tracksuits you know like the Britney Spears like had those things the low rise jeans and like serious crop tops like where they're so good full on showing your belly not just like a little bit of yeah a little one those are a couple pop working to gadzooks is amazing yes and for the guys also baggy jeans yep the long sleeve shirt underneath the t-shirt I don't miss that and pleated dress pants no I didn't do that yeah so big part of it here for the long sleeve shirt uh under a short sleeve shirt is coming back yeah i know i did it all does i rocked it all the time i did it but now i'm still one of my favorite things yeah i'm hot just wearing a t-shirt under this jersey like this is right like in the winter are you not like i wear sweaters and sweaters standing outside no but i like i like having

i always have zip hoodies so i can take it off if i'm hot yeah all right what do you think the number one selling beer was an oh one yeah bud light yeah it was say we even drank bud light then um they had a stranglehold on it how about the average cost of a house oh fuck me 95 well wait average around america no it was in i oh okay 95k yeah i'd say i'll say 100 it was 82.5 can you imagine 82.5 um how about the average cost of a car um 18 i was 15. 21 and i didn't google the house but this one just put in perspective right now the average cost of a car is 49 000 yeah jesus really oh yeah the cheapest new car you can buy is probably 23 yeah right yeah you can't even get that's for the basic yeah yeah that's for the old yeah the shit i remember i bought a brand new truck i brought a i bought a brand new truck in like 2005 and it was like 31 000 now they're now you can't even get a truck for 31 000 oh you know they cool you know 170 miles on it um top selling car can you guess that one a buick no i don't know what's the when the pt cruiser come out no i think that was after so it

Focus. Chevy, Honda, Accord. There you go, Honda Accord. Honda Accord was the number one. Average household income?

Single person or a four? It was just an average household. I was going to say, yeah. Yeah, because remember when it used to be a big deal if you made $40,000? Well, the average was $42,200. Yeah. To put it in perspective right now, it's 83-7. It was the average household. Super Bowl winner that year. That was the Rams. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Fuck. So this would have been February 2001. They won 99, I think. I'm going to play the odds and say the Patriots. Nope. No. That was too early. It was a one-off. It was a one-off. Oh, close. They're in the family.

Who else is in that fucking division? uh Ravens there you go okay national champion football Texas another one off kind of oh really yeah well I mean they've been good for a long time but I don't know they're either really fucking good or they're really bad put it that way Oregon no Florida State right right state right state wrong not for right yeah Miami. Oh, fuck. All right. A couple notable events, and this is the last segment that I had here for it. 9-11. That's a big one. That's a big one. I almost hit the air horn. Might as well make it three, right?

In October, we went to war with Afghanistan. Enron filed for bankruptcy. Remember how fucking big of a deal that was? Remember how many people lost? and ron and apple had its first release of the ipad or the ipod was released it was a jesus for apple ipod one remember when that is the year 2001 for topics that i thought were interesting of what could happen who had did anybody have an ipod the first ipod not the first one i ended up having one i i rolled the dice i thought microsoft had it and i bought a zune i was just gonna say the zune was the other one yeah yeah i was the first i did eventually i got the little nano that was the only one i ever had yeah whatever was it the nano the littlest i had those yeah other than the first generation i've owned pretty much every ipod sure yeah because then once you got the phone it didn't matter after that you know so that's why they they just got smaller and smaller and then they just disappeared so yeah what do you for the longest time i kept the old school one because Because it was like 275 gigs or something like that.

Right, which was unheard of at that time. I could have my whole library. Yeah. What do you think of the Duo? It was announced last week. I think that's the dumbest fucking thing. Really? Dude. I like it. For a million reasons, by the way. One, I don't want to fucking do this all the time. Two, those screens are going to break way easier than the other ones. Because even the Samsung ones, which they've been out way longer. I love how, by the way, and I'm an iPhone guy. but I love how Samsung does shit and then three years later is like Apple are you ready for this and it's the same fucking thing they've done but the Samsung ones people have said they break easily do they yeah how are you going to put a phone protector on Matt's got one I would never get one it's fucking cool have you ever like put hands on one no so why do you need it that big I have two friends that have them a friend of mine like handed me his phone I was like oh I'll check it out play with it and then um just on my trip to portland my friend alex had one and she handed it to me to like place the order and i was like oh cool i'm like placing the to-go food order on a tablet basically right um and it felt nice it was thin it was like it seemed really well put together the samsung yeah it was an android of some sort yeah i'm not sure if it was samsung for sure but but yeah oh sure so i was like okay maybe it's not so bad because i liked hers um but then i saw this one and it's shorter than a pro so it's like this big the new ones you're talking about the ones that come out

yeah i don't like that like to me when it's folded out and turned sideways it'd be like an ipad mini right yeah I don't know you can't put a case on it I don't think not a good one you don't know hey you know what I like they're trying something fucking different as opposed to the same god damn thing and just shoving it down my throat they don't need to try everything that Samsung does just fucking keep doing what you're doing and do it better no no I don't want one it's a swing and a miss it's a swing and a miss for me I also don't ever want to buy the first generation of something like that. That's smart, too.

Yeah. They'll figure it out, though. I do need a new watch, so I plan on getting the new Apple Watch, but that's about all I care about. Really? Mine's so old. No, I want it gone. I don't even wear it anymore. Why? I want my dress watch back. Oh, yeah. I've heard a lot of people wear that. I like good watches. I don't want it anymore. I want to go get I always had nice watches and I want to go get another nice watch I mean you can do that my whole thing is I do like the workout shit on it that's the only reason by the way I give a shit I don't do anything I don't text from it I don't read anything people like do a bunch of shit there's cheaper things you can get though that do the workout stuff for you I know but then like to tie to your phone and stuff like that because it's Apple like I don't know I figured I have to have that you can do like a ring they have like the rings that do all that shit now oh really well maybe i'll do that especially if it's cheaper uh yeah i like i like having where i can just like glance at a notification and then right yeah i'm not like sitting there staring at my phone having a conversation with you i'd be like oh that's not important yeah oh shit that's super i gotta go i gotta like deal with that yeah yeah i liked that too but then it was like yeah so are you doing your guys's years no oh i was like Just me? I drew the short straw Still to come, I wasn't going to do it for all of them I'll do all the hours a little bit Because it's a lot to look up and a lot to Keep track of here for us So more to come here for what That was awesome and I wanted to say quick

Mine is quicker and easier You're going to have to go to microfilm at the library To look up your guys' shit That's why I didn't do mine so dusty Shots fucking years different Not between me and him Between you and him When were you? 99 and you're 97 I graduated 98 but I should have probably been 97 we all basically just two years but yeah yeah so i was still uh pooping my pants in 97 If peeing your pants is cool consider me miles davis i mean let be honest that only recently stopped a couple years ago for you so let's not act like that hey you're just gonna hate right you're just jealous i don't have to go anywhere i got those clean ass bowels i can't get these cherries out so with that being said i will like i will likely try to bring back another add and build off this this um top or not topic segment no i i love the remember when because yeah there's some things i don't want to say if it's cool or not anymore i just want or you just obviously know that's not cool remember when i talk about it yeah i mean or i'm shocked that it's like that do that with stuff like that's nostalgic sometimes because it doesn't exist exactly right it's like do we want to say our rotary phone's still cool right they're definitely not because nobody has them right but i also i got thinking about this too about the just the amount of shit we've seen in our lifetime yeah it's pretty crazy we have lived in a world with no internet and now we're worried that ai has taken over yeah it's going to kill us all apparently

terminator tried to tell us we just don't listen to shit someone said that the other day so just Nobody watched Terminator. The thing is, now it's like way closer to actually real, but I made this joke like 10 years ago when I couldn't get a paper towel out of the paper towel dispenser. I was like, they're taking over. First world problems, here we go. Once Transformers had the movie where the toaster came alive and shit and started running around, I'm like, we are fucked.

Remember when we used to take cabs to go make out with girls? Pepperidge Farm remembers. I remember. We didn't have that fancy Uber shit. Was that a South America quote? Yeah. No. Logan, you look like you're loaded for something. No, I was trying to come up with some sort of like button or sound effect or song, but I don't have anything.

I can do this. I'm going to send you something. There's a song that's, I think, perfect. It has like just one little short part. Just don't get us dinged. I know. I don't think it will. He's just going to send it to you. You can use your expertise. It could be for later round. I always think of the South Park member berries. Oh, yeah. That's why I made the comment. Yeah, that's why. Is it a South American quote? Because I changed the name to South America now. Do you have something? Otherwise, because I have stuff that could wait. I just, real briefly, wanted to talk about my trip. Oh, yeah. We led up to it in the previous episodes.

and then everybody's going to be like, what the fuck happened? That's right. How many tits? I was going to say, did we get a count? Yes. So, odd or even. Thank you. It's even. But three pairs. And all on the last day. Nice! They were saving themselves. I mean, so Saturday, there was a lot of bikinis. Lots of bikinis. It was hot, sunny. It was the longer day. A lot of the people that just came for one night were there on saturday but there was a lot of bikinis on saturday but sunday i'm not shouldn't you walked into the venue and i'm like oh just pasties on that's what she just chose chose no shirt today wait we'll do when it's under boob sweats a real thing you know trust me i know she was in line for the merch tent so maybe she was buying a shirt i don't know someone stole my shirt here just try on right here in line right i don't know if i'm a medium or a lot yeah i got you baby i'm sure the merch sales guy was like loving that yeah um yeah it was it was entertaining um surprisingly not as many in the campgrounds like really i thought just like walking around the campgrounds that would be a common thing but it wasn't so much all right we were in um so i paid for premiere camping which just got us a little bit closer and like a dedicated spot and like air-conditioned showers and it wasn't that much more money so i was like you know me those yeah value upgrades little

little amenities you will pay for yes yeah so um we were in there so i think that like more of the party crazy crowd was out in general at least gen pop is always where you get the wild ones right there i although i'm surprised you didn't have some hot chick showing her tits trying to get into the vip area right let's be honest yeah and like get those tips out and get us in there yeah but uh the whole thing was great uh the the amphitheater the gorge amphitheater is in the middle of nowhere washington dude the video you sent was just epic like i knew it was in the middle of nowhere i didn't realize it was like that remote right it's it's out on a bluff on the columbia river gorge and the only thing around it is a winery and a campground yeah that's it so um the winery that we found this out as we were like we went to the winery to kill some time and they had live music there during the day and we were just sitting there drinking wine and eating some pizza and the lady that owned the place came out and told the story the winery was their first and it was her family's winery it's been around for a very long time i can't remember exactly how long she had said but then um her and her siblings were like playing they were kids and her parents were at the top of this bluff and the kids were down at the bottom and they could hear every word they were saying like yeah up at the top and they're like oh this is like a natural amphitheater we should build a place and they did so they built the gorge amphitheater next to the winery wow and they owned it for a long time they owned the amphitheater yeah so the gorge started as a

private venue and they sold it to another private group who then sold it to live nation that was a bad idea yeah everybody kind of rolls their eyes and groans when but um just because honestly i will say the venue is very well run the people there were great the staff were amazing yeah um it was of the live nation places i've been it was pretty good that's awesome um that being said it's somebody went in there and said don't fucking touch anything right yeah i'm sure they had to have some stuff in there like you can't you know sure that's why i just hit nature here and yeah and washington and oregon are really they're what's the big part they'll protect their shit yeah yeah yeah but um the almost all the staff was like local uh native american reservation like they all worked oh really like yeah so and everybody was super friendly it was great cleanest porta potties i've ever seen in my life shut up clean them like three times a day they came in and like scrubbed them down and changed everything out sucked them out really everything wow that's awesome incredible that's a key right there were any of the people selling like shooters on the side making a side hustle because i've had to have an alpine valley a lot guys just like fireballs five bucks each you're like yeah give me four fuck so i didn't see any of that um we figured out that wine was the way to go because a bottle of wine was like forty dollars and um you could just get a whole bottle of wine and drink that instead of a beer

like a 19 ounce beer was 27 shut the up are you serious insane yeah um oh god it was expensive could you bring any of your with you camping no no camping not everything camping how far away was the campground from like that like what would it be a mile um okay it's a decent walk but like but yeah you couldn't bring it and you can bring anything in yeah yeah so um shit yeah it was interesting all right so price of these things isn't fucking just so you had day one was what what day did it start a friday friday excuse me and then saturday yeah and then sunday right and they they played all three nights different openers each day different openers but dave all three nights yep and didn't you say one night they played just one yeah so night one they played uh the gru crux king oh i love that album they played it in its entirety plus a couple other songs but that's awesome the whole album that was okay that's cool uh and they played grux which is a it's not on the album but it's a related song and it's about leroy so guy who died yeah yeah so very cool uh by day three were you happy to be there or were you not you know because that was where i were wondering if you were gonna make it you know like i know we knew you were gonna make the most of it but like where were you where you want to do this over and over you know yeah i i was still happy and enjoying it i was ready to be done camping and sleeping on the ground a little

bit but um i was like the i was ready for the music again like and that was great so all of that was good um it was the i was done camping by the time we got done with sure that makes sense so what time did he go on like what time would you um doors opened at 3 30 and the opening act would go on at five so he was on by like six he was usually on closer to like seven okay okay seven or eight depending because sometimes he had two openers okay so then you had that and then um all right sorry logan just gave me a whole drink so then during the day you went to like the winery you just did whatever then we were at the campground in the winery hung out around there yeah doing shit we we had talked about going hiking and stuff but we ended up just filling the day with other stuff gotcha um saturday a little bit there was a couple of campers next to us that had TVs and were watching games. Oh, that's sick.

We kind of peeked around and watched the game with them for a minute. Not really fully watched the game, but checked the scores. Yeah. It was a good time. That's awesome. I would highly recommend anybody go just because it's a beautiful venue and good experience. I would like to go with a bigger group sometime. Everybody camp. Let's rent one of those big-ass campers. yeah how do they get ac i'll say do they have campers and shit like that oh yeah everybody had there are tons of people so you guys just were tent camping just because you picked it or you decided to do that yeah and there were a lot of people doing both okay yeah okay um we didn't so in in the premier parking where we were they didn't have like electrical or sewer hookups or any of that stuff like you were still primitive rv camping like people were running generators sure yeah i was gonna say because like even if you don't have full electrical it's like a camper still better like you can run a generator and honestly the only time that saturday was the hottest day it got hot on saturday but the other days it was nice and cool like hot at all actually at night it would have been too cold to sleep without a sleeping bag really yeah that's my kind of camping though no sweat perfect like oh yeah the same thing on the chilly end always better on the little, slightly little chill.

Yeah, same. Alright, well I'm glad it fucking went well. I knew it would. Once you sent that video, I'm like, motherfucker. It just looked like a mecca of just gorgeous. But again, I've bitched about this. I've never went west. This is why I want to go west so bad. I've been to the east coast, I've been to Texas.
