1:33

or real news and world. Listen.

1:36

I I I saved. So.

1:39

I have a three bedroom house

1:41

for others I don't know and

1:43

and and my jiu guest rooms

1:45

upstairs I let sit for about

1:47

a year and a half. I.

1:49

Know I know how to guestrooms.

1:52

Oh right intact Yes!

1:56

And I'm like I don't care. Anyone

1:59

says like winner. Yeah,

2:01

yeah, yeah, I don't care what it says. I've

2:04

had lots of people who have had, you know,

2:06

sleepovers and and and never,

2:09

you know, I never thought that it would get

2:11

to that point. And you know, chef, I know

2:13

she did five times, then I wouldn't have gotten

2:15

to that fucking point. But anyways, I, it

2:18

was like man mattresses on the ground and. And

2:22

so Rod came in during filming

2:24

and we filmed the whole thing. Right?

2:27

You know, he, you know, he had

2:29

cart cart launch. I mean, I told

2:31

him some things like I wanted and

2:33

this and that. And I

2:35

was like, Hey, man, you know, you know, here's

2:37

here's the code to my house and just just

2:40

come in and out. So sometimes man, I'd be sitting on the couch

2:42

and like, you know, and he he would open the door and be

2:44

like, what's up, bitch? And then I'd be like, all right, hey, and

2:46

like, you'd run upstairs and drop off some shit and then leave. Right?

2:48

So man, he was in and out. All

2:51

the time. And then he gave me like a grand

2:53

reveal. And this is all films, Craig, like big body

2:55

cameras. You know, it was this whole arc of like,

2:57

what do you want? And let's go shopping together. And

3:00

you know, we did. We filmed all this stuff. Because

3:03

you could have came out to Rod and

3:05

they would have featured your entire design and

3:07

Rod would have become a main character. Could

3:09

have could have, you know, come out to

3:11

Rod as gay or with the

3:14

Taylor situation. Well, either

3:16

either one, I think would have an

3:18

equal effect, your scandal or coming out.

3:20

I feel like if I was going to come

3:23

out, I would come out. Holy

3:26

shit, man. I probably tested on you first,

3:28

you know, and test it. I

3:30

mean, the knowledge on you. You would

3:33

you would think

3:35

you were testing me, but like your soft

3:37

way of doing it, I would know instantly

3:40

and be like, I

3:42

think I would come out to Andy. Yeah,

3:46

no, Andy, I have

3:49

something more. I'm talking more of

3:51

like, no, if you had to

3:53

tell someone on the show. Yeah,

3:57

I would come out to page. I

4:00

would give her the page. What

4:03

if she was like? She would be like, I

4:05

know. Okay, well, first

4:07

off, yes. And that'd be

4:09

funny as hell. But what if Paige is like, you know

4:12

what, I know, and I'm fine

4:14

with it. Like, I like what we have

4:16

going on. And let's just

4:18

continue to be together. She's

4:21

like, I want you as

4:23

my gay bestie. Yeah,

4:26

I think we would be gay besties, but she'd

4:28

probably move on to a straight man, which, you

4:30

know, I don't blame her. I don't blame her

4:32

for wanting to date. Who was

4:34

the last person that you would come out to?

4:41

I'm trying to think of who would be the

4:44

denier, you know, being like, oh, you're just confused.

4:48

I don't think well, if you came

4:50

out to Shep, he would listen for about

4:52

five seconds and then start talking about himself.

4:55

Right, right. In boarding school, I had this

4:57

friend who did the same thing, you know,

4:59

and you're like, and his nickname was Gross,

5:01

which is a true story. He used to

5:04

call a guy at boarding school, him and

5:06

his friends. He's this guy in boarding school,

5:08

Gross, because he was, I mean,

5:11

apparently he was gross and that's what they call

5:13

him. Anyways, I

5:16

feel like we have a that's

5:18

pretty tolerant cast. Yeah,

5:22

but but being tolerant, you

5:24

know, like Shep, Shep can't

5:26

help the fact that that that like he's just

5:28

like a hyper fucking masculine male. You know, he's

5:30

like kill shit, drink shit, fuck shit. You know,

5:33

that's that's you know, that's what I know. And

5:36

yeah, and I he doesn't have an accent. And

5:39

obviously, he doesn't

5:42

treat anyone different

5:44

at all, right? But I don't think

5:46

he would understand it. I don't think

5:49

he would understand it as

5:51

much as other people. He'd be like, all right,

5:53

cool. That's for you. But like there wouldn't be

5:55

any conversation there. He would be fine. Actually, I

5:58

actually think that he wouldn't be shocked. Whatsoever

6:00

if either one of us were to be

6:02

like see yeah, I knew it You

6:07

guys are girls. I've been saying

6:09

it you know to Whitney for

6:11

fucking years Boy

6:15

we like to have fun guys That's

6:21

season dude hold on can

6:23

I can I tell you that I'm drinking a

6:25

glass of wine Today I feel

6:27

like I haven't drank something on P&D

6:29

in ages you're gonna glass of wine

6:32

Craig because I went to The

6:34

Verizon store to just bite the bullet

6:36

and buy out the rest of my

6:38

contract of my iPhone 13

6:40

and just buy an iPhone 15 and it

6:43

was fucking stressful man To

6:47

buy out the rest of my contract which was for

6:49

18 more months apparently So

6:52

I guess that I've had my iPhone 13 for a year and

6:54

a half for 18 more months It was like 500 three-year

6:57

contracts. Yeah, well, yeah Wait,

7:04

how much did they charge you? So

7:07

to buy out the rest of my contract was

7:09

500 and something bucks And

7:13

then and then I just had to pay you

7:15

know taxes and fees or whatever so I walked out of

7:18

there with like $735

7:21

to get the new iPhone and It

7:24

wasn't that like I desperately wanted, you know the new iPhone

7:26

I mean, I would have been totally fine with my 13

7:29

But my back camera was completely

7:31

cracked and I couldn't even hear

7:34

anymore you know the only way that

7:36

I could hear people is if I put them on speakerphone

7:38

and or I

7:40

put in my airpods, right? And so it just kind of got to

7:42

the point where I was like, I need a new phone Well,

7:45

that's absurd. Yeah. Yeah, and

7:47

he then he promptly he was like, oh

7:49

wait on your thing You know you you

7:52

have insurance

7:55

Do you want to order the iPhone

7:57

13 for $99? And

8:01

I just learned what the term freaking girl

8:03

math was Craig Are

8:05

you aware with what girl math is Nick?

8:08

You know, we're Craig. Yeah. Well, yeah, I

8:10

didn't know this right and so Yeah,

8:13

yeah three month old thing. Yeah.

8:15

Yeah, and so I quickly or

8:17

I promptly texted, you know My

8:20

family and Katie was like

8:22

well, you know, the new phone is $99 Or

8:25

sorry, the 13 is $99 and then you would

8:28

pay seven hundred for the old So, you know

8:30

girl math, you know, you're only paying fucking 600

8:32

bucks I was like, you had $500 left

8:34

of an iPhone 13 contract. Yeah Was

8:39

it like a $10 a month? Yeah My

8:42

my payment was my payment on

8:45

the phone was $18 a month

8:49

Yeah, I think someone took advantage of Right,

8:52

it's Verizon bro, like it's just I think I've

8:55

been doing this thing for like 14 years with

8:57

yeah, Verizon and I'm like But

9:02

I only owed like $250 on

9:04

my iPhone 14 that I've only

9:06

had like six months. Okay. Well kind

9:08

of like you said You're

9:10

you're doing like a 12 month thing

9:13

where like it makes my monthly payment

9:15

less if I do look Craig It's

9:17

all very scientific. Okay, it's

9:19

above my pay grade But

9:21

you can afford the shorter plan you get the new

9:23

phone more often I

9:28

Am NOT saying that I sat there

9:30

today and re-upped for a three-year

9:33

contract. I don't know, you know, it

9:37

Just stressing me out man more than they did at Verizon Absom

9:40

wait, why was it stressful? Well, it

9:42

was stressful because okay, Craig We had

9:45

we had just come from Mike we

9:47

we had just come from The

9:50

gym. Yeah, dude, you got to put the mic up. I

9:52

keep forgetting Otherwise

9:55

their besties can't hear anything that you're saying so we

9:57

just come from the gym and then I did this

9:59

song on it and I did the cold bath the

10:01

first time in ages. So my shorts are kind

10:03

of wet still. And I sit down and he

10:07

begins to transfer over this. And

10:09

then he's like, all right, man, well, what do you do?

10:11

And I was like, oh, shit. So we have this 25

10:13

minute combo. It's

10:16

this guy, he looked the part, man.

10:21

He had on a shirt and tie and he

10:23

looked really nice. And

10:27

I was like, okay, man, you're killing it. And we

10:29

began to talk about the fact that I'm opening like

10:32

a bar on King Street. And I was like, oh

10:34

man, like, are you familiar with

10:36

downtown? And he was like, oh yeah, man,

10:38

you know, I got

10:41

to get away from that place. And I was

10:43

like, ha, I hear you brother. You

10:45

know, like I had that realization a couple years

10:47

ago. And then we're talking

10:49

for a little longer. And he was like, I just

10:51

need to grow up. You know, it's like, you know,

10:53

it's time to grow up. And I was like, here

10:56

you man, we're on the

10:58

same path here. And then I was like, how

11:01

old are you? Motherfucker

11:03

was 24 years old. I was

11:05

like, you need to grow up? I was

11:07

like, dude, you need to grow down or you

11:09

know, whatever like you are at

11:12

the prime of your life. I can't believe

11:14

you just said that. And that makes me

11:16

laugh because I realized

11:18

that at age like So,

11:23

but yeah, man, you just ask me questions.

11:25

And like I hadn't eaten Craig and

11:28

I just was like, I just want to get out of

11:30

your, you know, nothing, he was doing anything wrong. He was,

11:32

he was really cool. But what took 45 minutes? I

11:35

guess just to transfer over, you know, the

11:37

data. You did that in the

11:40

store? Yeah. Your

11:42

Verizon experience is wild. It

11:44

sounds like someone's grandfather going into

11:46

the store. Why wouldn't you do

11:48

it at home? Yeah, I like,

11:50

I realized that now, you

11:52

know, after I have like a full belly and

11:54

like a glass of wine in me, I realized

11:56

that I most certainly should have taken it home,

11:59

use that free. prepackaged to send it

12:01

off to the factory or whatever. But I

12:04

don't know, man. I don't know because I

12:06

walked in there with the mentality of like,

12:08

take my credit card, give me the new

12:10

phone, good day. Yeah, that

12:14

happened to me except they didn't have

12:16

any when I went. So I ended up having to

12:18

get mailed to me and it was a whole

12:20

thing. Yeah. And

12:22

then I was like, how many times have

12:24

I erased this phone properly? In

12:27

that day, I was like,

12:31

I actually considered just taking my phone to the bridge

12:33

and throwing it off. No,

12:36

it's actually still in my drawer. Z,

12:38

wait, why, man? Because

12:40

you get that rebate. My phone

12:42

dude was all cracked on the back of the back. Yeah, I

12:45

forgot to like, I don't know. I

12:47

have a secondary phone now. Okay, okay. So anyone

12:49

out there- Because it runs my house. So

12:51

anyone out there that like, my uncle and my dad

12:54

is giving me shit. Craig

12:57

has his, he didn't mail in

12:59

free money. Yeah,

13:01

but if you don't need it, like

13:03

he just said, my uncle uses it to run

13:05

like his whole, like all the Bluetooth speakers, everything

13:07

is run through the phone. You

13:10

use it still? Yeah,

13:12

mine, it controls my house. Yeah.

13:15

I don't know how to, like, I have to get my tech people to

13:17

come move it to my new phone. All

13:20

right. Well, it electrocutes me though. That's why I

13:22

went to get a new phone. It electrocutes me

13:24

every time I fricking touch it. And

13:27

I fell asleep next to it the other day. And I was

13:29

like, oh man, this is what I was like, avoiding.

13:32

So- Things I didn't expect Craig to

13:34

say right before I was about to

13:36

take a commercial break. It

13:38

electrocutes me every time I go near it,

13:41

can't flab it. I

13:43

wanna give people, there's

13:47

two questions I can answer about

13:49

the cell phones. One is the

13:51

memory increase because it always costs a lot

13:53

more money to jump. I

13:56

think I have the 250. I

13:58

would not go lower than that because- because I

14:01

have never had to delete photo,

14:03

I've never pulled my camera out in

14:05

a time of picture taking and had

14:07

my memory be full anymore. Wait,

14:10

why is there a thumbs up on this? What is that

14:12

thumbs up? What did you just do, Craig? Oh,

14:15

what? Wait, hey. What? Wait,

14:19

does mine do that? You two people will see this.

14:21

No, it doesn't. Yeah, they're all, I need to

14:24

put my hat on. Wait, wait, wait, do a

14:26

thumbs down, Craig. Apparently,

14:31

these stream yards updated their stuff. Oh.

14:34

Oh. So I think investing in

14:36

more memory is good because then you can have

14:38

movies on it for traveling, you can do a

14:41

lot of stuff offline. You don't have to go

14:43

crazy or berserk with your memory, but like, 2506.

14:46

Yeah, yeah, so you did the max. You did

14:48

the max, which is the 2506, which is what

14:50

I did. I just, I did it. But

14:52

here's the reason I did the

14:54

max was the camera because my

14:56

last phone, I accidentally didn't get

14:58

the max. And if a camera

15:00

is important to you, it was

15:02

actually noticeably different, which

15:05

is why I actually switched from

15:07

my iPhone 14 to

15:10

my iPhone 13 Pro Max while

15:12

I was waiting for my 15

15:14

to be delivered because the camera was that much

15:16

better on the 13 Pro than

15:20

it was on the 14 Plus. So

15:24

if you care about your camera, you gotta

15:26

get the Pro, which is the three. And

15:28

I only say that because I

15:30

make, it's part of my job to post

15:32

stuff and take pictures

15:35

for things. And it was

15:37

noticeably, like the quality was

15:39

not good for

15:41

me without the Pro. So if you're thinking about

15:43

spending the extra money for the Pro, when it

15:45

comes to videos and pictures, it is a lot

15:47

different than the Plus. Well, um.

15:51

Austin's like, I got the Plus and

15:53

it's fine. No, I got

15:56

the 15 Max Pro. way

16:00

that my sales associate Cole Cole

16:03

16:05

responsible gaming resources. Welcome

18:22

back to pillows and beer. It

18:24

is the week before

18:26

the super bowl. So super bowl week,

18:29

um, which is the week before Valentine's

18:31

day week, which is

18:33

also the week of Craig Conover's birth.

18:37

Oh yeah. My birthday's tomorrow. Craig's

18:39

birthday is on Friday

18:42

night. Yes. So

18:44

I'm going to say at first happy birthday, Craig.

18:47

Thanks buddy. I mean, I

18:49

know that page did, I guess because your gift

18:51

already got there. So you told us on Tuesday

18:54

that she was like, just open it dingus. And did

18:56

you open it? Yeah.

18:58

With her on the phone. It was a

19:00

espresso machine that I've always wanted. Oh, right,

19:02

right. Oh man. That's really nice. Yeah.

19:05

She went pretty, uh, good

19:08

on it. I, I'm, I ordered it. Do

19:10

I need espresso beans or just coffee beans? Cause

19:12

I ordered espresso beans, but then I was like,

19:14

did I just get taken? No, that's if you

19:16

like want it like act like real espresso. Well,

19:19

yeah, it's an, uh, Nick, I

19:21

didn't get an espresso maker to make fucking drip

19:23

coffee. Well,

19:26

then you answered your own question. Like

19:28

you bought an espresso makers and buy

19:30

espresso beans. Yeah. But people like regular

19:32

coffee though. I didn't

19:35

answer my own question. I said, do I

19:37

need espresso beans or coffee beans? And Nick

19:39

said, well, if you want real

19:41

espresso, then you have to buy espresso beans. So

19:43

he answered the question, but he said it in

19:45

a dumb way. But

19:48

I mean, people use different types of

19:50

coffee beans for their espresso, but the

19:52

real espresso beans just give you that,

19:55

that actual espresso kick. Some people like

19:57

just the shot of it's like coffee.

19:59

I, I. I

20:01

like drinking lattes. I like drinking lattes in the

20:03

morning. That's espresso. This

20:06

thing can make a decent latte.

20:09

Yeah, that's well, that's yeah, it

20:11

does it does no

20:14

it's got it's it

20:16

has the milk container So

20:18

like it actually infuses it with the

20:20

steamed milk Yeah,

20:23

I think the next time that I come over we're gonna give this

20:25

thing a whirl. Yeah. Yeah, it's

20:28

it picture The intimidating screaming espresso maker

20:30

that he gets for the sidelines. I

20:34

Want to make a meme about Craig

20:36

using his espresso maker Nick. Are you

20:38

gonna say happy birthday? No,

20:40

I Know I'm waiting till you're actually we're gonna

20:42

get a text from me at 1201 Alright

20:47

Okay, well So

20:51

Super Bowl week I I just

20:53

like want to get this off my chest just

20:55

just right away and first off is Is

20:58

that I? Think that

21:00

the Manning brothers are just way too fucking exposed

21:03

Like they're over exposure is driving

21:05

me fucking crazy Does

21:07

anyone have any thoughts on this the man in

21:09

bridge? What's wrong with the man in the light

21:12

dude? They are yeah They

21:14

are the goofiest Dumbest like they

21:16

their whole shtick is like look

21:18

how white that we are like

21:20

everything about them I

21:23

I just oh man like and

21:26

I met Eli right I Met

21:28

Eli at a discovery property and he couldn't

21:30

have been nicer, you know a wonderful man

21:32

a wonderful and kind man But that doesn't

21:34

mean that I want to see him on

21:37

every single Sport, you know, he's

21:39

the coach for the Pro Bowl. He's he's you know

21:41

hosting like his own this he's hosting his own that

21:43

He's dressing up and all see I like

21:48

Stuff I prefer their stuff over the

21:50

normal Nick

21:53

Nick and that's fine because you have

21:55

to tune in to watch them, right?

21:57

It's not being forced down your throat

21:59

every time time that you turn on your

22:01

ESP and it's like they have their own thing.

22:03

Just like look man, if you don't like Pat,

22:05

Pat man McAfee, then don't watch his show, you

22:07

know, then don't watch you know, his 30 minutes

22:09

have you know, hour long show each day, like,

22:11

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, but like, Manning

22:14

Brothers are just I mean, on not

22:16

just on every commercial, but

22:18

every third is everywhere, man. Just

22:21

overexposure for well, you know, it's

22:23

funny, because I don't watch ESPN,

22:26

or Sports Center, I never see the Manning

22:28

Brothers. So it is crazy

22:30

how I don't do ESPN, by the way,

22:32

just like, you know, keep it on. But

22:34

like, you watch anything, I don't

22:37

have anything against ESPN. It's just the

22:39

repetitiveness of Sports Center. When I was

22:41

a child, them talking about the same

22:43

thing, yeah, over and over and over

22:45

every hour, really that that way anymore,

22:47

unless there's like a huge breaking thing.

22:49

But yes, I remember, like, I know

22:51

what you're talking about. I've fallen asleep

22:54

to ESPN in my younger years, like

22:56

in my college years. And I was just like,

22:59

Oh my god, they are doing this same thing

23:01

over and over and over again. Wow.

23:04

So um, I,

23:08

I appreciate your comment. I

23:10

don't really have much

23:12

to say. I feel like I see Peyton

23:14

on commercials, but I don't see Eli that

23:17

often. You don't see Eli really. I mean,

23:19

he's on a couple, you know, Peyton's on

23:21

everything. And I say Mahomes and Kelsey are

23:23

way worse. Yeah, but

23:26

yeah, but they're playing and they're at

23:28

the top of their game. And like,

23:30

you know, they deserve doing every frickin

23:32

commercial though. And it's just like, now

23:34

they're in like a sidekick commercial and

23:36

everything. It's just like, I'm

23:38

watching. I was watching this

23:41

podcast, actually, the podcast clip

23:43

where JJ Watt, the old

23:45

great defensive

23:48

end who basically played his whole

23:50

career with the Texans, right? Yeah,

23:53

the Cardinals, the Cardinals. No, he was tied

23:55

with the Cardinals. That's why he's got to

23:57

have the cards. But anyways, he was basically

24:00

like the Patrick Holmes or like

24:02

the Travis Kelsey of when he

24:04

was playing and he was like, my base

24:07

was on every commercial and this and that

24:09

and he was like the over the

24:11

exposure of it all was real and people you

24:14

know were hating, hating, hating and he was like, Okay,

24:16

I'm gonna slow down and say no to some, you

24:18

know, commercials, but he's like, how was I supposed to

24:20

say no, like these six

24:22

figure contracts, you know, coming in, he

24:24

was like, nobody, not not

24:26

you, not you, not you would would say

24:29

no to that, you know, six,

24:31

six figure contracts. And I'm like, No, damn, dude,

24:33

you're right. So I mean,

24:35

I'm not getting six figure manning, Peyton's by getting

24:37

seven figures from like nation for some of these

24:39

other ones. Sure. And

24:41

like, you'd be afflax and things like that. I mean,

24:44

I don't even I could not like

24:46

them. I just tired of seeing their

24:49

face, you know, everywhere much like I'll

24:51

probably see someone

24:55

tonight on television where I'm like,

24:59

this person's everywhere. I don't like

25:01

when they change the main characters in commercials.

25:03

That's personally what bothers me.

25:08

Yeah, like, God, you know,

25:10

it really gets me if they replace someone

25:12

in a TV show. And like, they just

25:15

they don't try to do that anymore. But

25:17

like, you'd be watching seventh heaven and all

25:19

of a sudden, like, you know, Tamra's as

25:21

someone new. Um, yeah, you're

25:24

like, yeah, that's not my camera. They

25:26

did that with the moment. Yeah, dude,

25:28

that that 70s show, dude, they did

25:30

it with with, you know, Lori,

25:32

you know, the slutty sister, I was

25:34

like, wow, you're like, who's that? Um, they've

25:38

done that in a bunch of actually, they do that more

25:41

often you think in Marvel universe, man,

25:43

they did it with, you know, roadie, man,

25:45

they wanted more money. And they were like,

25:47

they had been Terrence. And then all of

25:49

a sudden, you didn't even explain

25:51

it, you know, they could have been like,

25:53

roadie died. This is the next in command.

25:55

And his name is Bodhi. You know, what

25:57

they did, they just, you know, I

26:00

was like wait, so you just put a black

26:03

dude in the Taren Tower? They were like,

26:05

no you don't. Yeah, Don

26:07

Cheadle is like a very famous

26:09

guy. Wait, was it Don Cheadle? Yes,

26:12

yes, yes. He's who replaced Tarens. Have

26:15

you seen this guy like we

26:17

wouldn't notice? Have you seen Last

26:19

Man Standing? Well,

26:21

she bet the wrong horse there. I felt bad

26:23

for her. No. What happened? Because

26:25

they replaced her a couple of people.

26:27

Which network? What's Last Man Standing? That's

26:29

him, Alan. It's a fun one. It's

26:32

like a bass pro shop. Yeah,

26:35

he's super conservative and half the family is liberal

26:37

and everything. So it kind of all goes together.

26:40

But she left because

26:42

COVID happened and the

26:44

network dropped it because they dropped a bunch of shows.

26:46

And then Fox picked it up, but there was a

26:48

year gap. And she got some

26:51

small movie roles offered to her. So

26:53

when they started filming Last Man Standing, she was

26:56

doing the movies and they're like, well,

26:58

it's either you got to pick the movies, you got to pick the show.

27:01

And her agent, I think, talked her

27:03

into doing movies and not

27:05

doing three more scenes. Dude, if

27:07

you've got a nightly or a

27:10

weekly sitcom on a main channel,

27:13

I just don't see how you give that up. I

27:15

know you want the bright lights of movies.

27:18

And I don't know this situation at all.

27:20

But my dream is I think it would

27:22

be so fun, not dream, but to

27:25

be on a sitcom that you film over and

27:27

over and over all these seasons. And

27:29

your money's got to be great. And our big

27:31

Last Man Standing fans were like, what is going

27:33

on here? What do you

27:35

have to say? You should mention this,

27:37

man, because, Craig, you and I have talked

27:39

about going to

27:41

NBC up front and things like that. And we've

27:44

talked to besties about it. And then I began

27:46

to watch that show, The Human Misses Us. And

27:48

it's about Justin Hartley. Well, it's not like about,

27:50

you know, he's one of the main characters. And

27:53

he is a regular on a sitcom until

27:56

he finally, you know, until he quits, which is like

27:58

the first episode. So it's not really given any. anything

28:00

away and that is exactly what

28:02

you're talking about here man being like a regular

28:04

on a sitcom and Two

28:07

28:09

this week's episode of this Tuesday's

30:47

episode. Wait, Thursday's episode of Pills

30:49

and Beer. Craig's birthday is

30:51

tomorrow. The Super Bowl is on Sunday. And

30:57

I'm drinking a glass of wine and I'm just kind

30:59

of downloading with my

31:01

buddies here. I want

31:03

to, excuse me, I want to

31:06

add to the wine discussion because

31:08

this very kind company sent me

31:10

a case of the most intriguing

31:12

wine. We

31:16

connected on Instagram and it's

31:19

called Aveline. And

31:23

it's vegan friendly. There's

31:26

no concentrates, no artificial

31:28

colors, no sugar

31:31

added. And it's a

31:33

cozy even. It pairs well with a cozy

31:35

evening with friends around the table. I

31:38

think this is the one that you're hanging over. Aveline.

31:41

Oh, okay. Aveline.

31:44

I think it's the clean wine that

31:46

doesn't give you hangovers. It's from France,

31:48

that's why. Really?

31:50

Yeah. Yeah,

31:53

I just looked it up. Okay, I was like,

31:55

listen, send you wine to Nick.

31:57

Well, if they're listening, please send me wine.

32:00

take wine, but Yeah,

32:02

no, it's the reason French wine doesn't give you

32:05

Because they can't use food coloring

32:07

like American wines can and

32:10

preserve like illegal. Yeah, it's pretty much like

32:12

they can't use Wow American

32:15

foods so bad for you and

32:17

now we're trying to fucking ban half of it, but I

32:21

Have to just like agree with that and I have a

32:23

story but but I won't you know launch into it until

32:25

you're finished Okay,

32:27

I the reason that I bring this up is

32:29

because I'm gonna save this To

32:32

taste with you and maybe

32:34

of nicks down, but this just sounds

32:36

so fun to me It

32:39

is a red bottle of

32:41

what appears to be champagne. So a red

32:44

sparkling wine. It's called L'Ambrosco

32:46

sparkling wine evervescent

32:49

with notes of plum, but it's It

32:53

pairs well to a toast to friends

32:55

old and new but a red sparkling

32:57

wine I mean how fun I like

33:00

again this isn't sponsored But I love

33:02

a chilled red and like

33:04

a sparkling chilled red how I just think

33:06

that sounds really cool Craig

33:09

I have a question for you. I don't think we've talked about this

33:11

in the podcast We talked

33:13

about it not on a podcast for

33:15

besties, you know all around the country would

33:18

you It's

33:21

about traders You know the show

33:23

we haven't talked about on the podcast have we Nick

33:26

we have not we talked about our show in Phoenix

33:28

Since everyone's loving on traders so

33:31

much Right and I've been

33:33

texted and messaged and blah blah and I've

33:35

seen Craig being you know Tagged in like

33:37

a thing or two and I've seen page

33:40

Would you say yes Craig

33:42

if traders came knocking on

33:44

your door? I feel like this is a

33:46

great topic to end with Oh,

33:49

yeah, like if the money yeah

33:51

if the money well Here's

33:54

the catch-22 I think I think that being

33:56

on traders is more about like, you know,

33:58

there's about more than just the money, man,

34:00

because it's like swept the

34:02

nation. I mean, it's so popular

34:04

and it's almost like a cool

34:07

thing to have under

34:09

your belt, rather than like, I made

34:11

X amount of money from. Although,

34:13

you know, I'm a model. Okay, so

34:16

I have to, what's

34:19

it called, regress? What do you say

34:21

when you wanna go backwards? Rewind?

34:26

I mean, rewind's a good one, but. Whatever, I thought

34:29

you were talking about something

34:31

else because we've talked about

34:33

this before. Traders, the

34:35

NBC show or Btok show?

34:37

Yeah. Yeah, I don't think

34:39

there would be, I think

34:41

you're right. I think the exposure from that is their

34:44

gift, right? They're

34:47

like, hey, this is the number one show. You

34:49

know, if you would like to come beyond

34:51

it, great. If not, like there's gonna be

34:53

someone else. That's just supply and

34:55

demand. I would

34:58

because when we talked about this,

35:01

it came up briefly at our live show in Phoenix. I

35:04

didn't know because I haven't watched

35:06

Traders and I thought it was

35:08

a little too big brother-ish, which it's not, but

35:10

in my head, I was like, I really don't

35:12

wanna have to keep up like, alive

35:14

for a long time or like fuck people

35:17

over too bad. And then when we asked

35:19

Paige, she was like, I'm

35:21

signed up and ready to go, Craig. Whatever

35:23

you want, like you're an idiot. She

35:25

apparently watches on her own. I didn't know she

35:27

lived a secret life without me. But it's- Hold

35:30

on, so like Craig was not saying that Paige

35:33

is signed on for season three. She's saying that

35:35

she would if they came in and that

35:39

she would want to be, I mean, she didn't

35:41

even hesitate. She was like, oh, a traitor for sure.

35:44

That's what I would wanna be, which is-

35:46

So I think I was thinking a

35:48

little too heavy into it of being like, I'm gonna

35:50

fuck someone over for the rest of their lives. And

35:52

you're like, it is a game. And if you treat

35:54

it just like a board game or a video game,

35:56

then just go play the game. And I think it

35:58

would be an honor to be- be asked so

36:00

yes. At this point, I hope that the

36:02

network didn't even hear that. I was like,

36:04

I don't really know because at this point

36:06

I'm 100% in. How

36:10

about you? And I haven't

36:13

watched. Apparently, I really should.

36:15

And if it's on Peacock, then I

36:18

need to just watch it. You know what?

36:20

Maybe that's what I'll do because if the

36:22

whole country freaking loves it, then

36:25

it's obviously like a banger of a show. And I know that

36:27

Paige loves it. And so that's what I'm

36:30

gonna do. I'm gonna watch it. But I think that I'd

36:34

be a fool to say no. I

36:38

mean, yeah, I never say no.

36:40

I like that. That's entirely

36:43

true. You know,

36:46

but we Craig's

36:48

thumbs up right there. It's

36:51

not coming. I thought it would give me a thumbs

36:53

up. Um,

36:56

I don't want to perpetuate the thing that

36:58

everyone said about me in season

37:00

nine. But I think that I could keep a

37:02

lot going and I'd be a good player. Yeah,

37:06

but would you be a good at lying? I

37:10

mean, I won't

37:12

even answer that. But would this be our best season kind

37:14

of in this episode for themselves? I

37:17

don't know. I don't think I'd want

37:19

to be a good trader though. Because

37:21

I think that you would know. Yeah,

37:23

you would know. I would freaking heartbeat dude. Like,

37:25

like, I think that you'd be like, you

37:28

know, the whole, you know, Austin fucking

37:30

looked down into the left thing. Like,

37:32

see, I would actually true or not.

37:34

I would be too good at being

37:36

a trader. It would freak everyone out.

37:38

Like, I mean, I would, I

37:41

would, I have to watch this game, but like, because

37:43

everyone there's a strategy to it though. I feel like

37:45

Craig would be voted off in like the first Yeah,

37:48

see, that might be true because they're

37:50

like Craig is like, it's too much

37:52

of like a quote unquote, you know,

37:54

sweetie that we don't trust him for a

37:56

fucking second. You

37:59

know, I mean, Yeah,

38:01

well I have to watch because fuck it. I'll

38:03

go on there and like stir

38:05

some shit up But yeah, I mean obviously

38:08

there's strategy just dude way more

38:10

to the game than that But you gotta like

38:12

I mean dude Vegas should do odds on Like

38:15

what are the odds of one of the three

38:17

of us getting asked for season three like those

38:19

odds have got to be What

38:21

is that? What

38:24

are the odds on that at least

38:26

one of the three of us get

38:29

asked for season

38:31

three of traders that would be Really

38:34

between who me you and Taylor? No

38:36

what me you and page?

38:38

Oh Sorry,

38:42

I don't know why Why

38:44

cuz you guys I mean I would bet

38:46

on that as I take me over if

38:48

you're gonna go that way Well, no,

38:51

it has to be like a killer minus I

38:54

would take the odds I would say it doesn't

38:57

have to be next season. No, this seems like

38:59

one that's gonna last for a while Yeah, I

39:01

think I think it's probably a season four thing.

39:04

Okay. All right. I think Steven

39:07

that's why Vegas On

39:10

it because we're under Craig Austin Page

39:12

under five C This

39:14

season over the fifth season now man

39:16

under I say under And

39:20

they film remember when Kyle did he filmed in

39:22

like Europe or whatever they did with an Ireland

39:24

bro He found

39:26

an eye like a sick-ass castle would

39:29

be honored Hey,

39:31

and no, I mean

39:34

the fucking I'm it's what I'm gonna do. I've never

39:36

I'm a yes guy. So Speaking

39:39

of pages shows last night. She was like I've

39:41

got nothing to watch. I've got nothing to watch

39:43

I've got nothing to watch and she's like maybe

39:45

this Friday night lights just

39:47

keeps coming up and I keep saying I'm gonna

39:50

give it a chance Well, and then I was

39:52

like, well Austin I said you

39:54

and Austin have the same taste in shows and Austin loves

39:56

it and she was like does he really and I said

39:58

Yes, and she goes, okay, then I'm to watch it. So

40:00

then she started Friday Night Live. Okay, I'm

40:03

gonna text her and see what she thinks

40:05

about it. You guys love the same. See,

40:07

I don't like Friday Night Live. Nick,

40:10

I think in high school.

40:12

No, I'm kidding. It kind of just like died off

40:14

for me after a few seasons. Okay,

40:16

well, well, she is going to be gripped

40:18

for season 123. Agreed. That that's you

40:22

know what I'm gonna say. And she's

40:24

she's, you know, gonna come for

40:26

Tim Riggins and she's gonna stay

40:28

for Tim Riggins. That's what Paige

40:31

is gonna do. Okay, so let's talk

40:33

about our real life. I have to grow

40:35

his hair out. Dude, Nick, Nickman, if Craig

40:37

begins to grow like his hair, you know,

40:39

when season 10 begins filming and Craig's got

40:42

like, you know, shoulder length hair, then then

40:44

you heard it here first. It's cuz Paige

40:46

is obsessed with Friday Night Lights and and

40:48

he's like, well, I'm gonna wear some cowboy

40:50

boots and grow out my hair real quick.

40:54

Okay, well, yeah.

40:56

Okay. Craig,

40:58

they have cross DraftKings has I'm on

41:01

DraftKings right now. I I don't

41:05

know what I'm gonna do with who I'm picking

41:08

yet because I want the 49ers to win but

41:10

I think Taylor Swift's gonna win. So I don't

41:13

know what I'm gonna do. So I want

41:15

to look at the novelty props. There's some

41:17

golf plus Super Bowl. Crots

41:19

because the Phoenix has

41:22

been playing on. Yeah. It's it's it's Shepler

41:24

to be the first round leader or Kittle

41:26

to score the first touchdown in Super Bowl.

41:28

13. Yes, it's

41:30

not 13. I don't I don't

41:33

I don't like that cuz I don't think I

41:36

mean, Kittle is Kittle gonna be the first person

41:38

to score or the first person that's gonna be

41:40

Kelsey. Kelsey. Um

41:42

okay, here's the prop

41:45

bets coin toss. I am

41:47

going tails even though something in my

41:49

head is dying me head but I'm

41:52

going tails. What

41:54

about you guys? Dude, I couldn't

41:59

care man tails. four

43:27

it doesn't happen very often, but

43:30

it does happen. It

43:32

says that if either team

43:34

kicks a game winning field goal at the

43:37

end of normal time plus 800 well

43:40

enough offensive lineman score TD plus 4,000

43:42

and then you have all of these

43:45

most trips to opponent's red zone time

43:47

of first possession over three minutes and

43:49

15 or over three 15 three

43:52

minutes and 15 seconds or

43:54

under three minutes and 15 seconds time

43:56

of first possession. That's pretty good. about

44:00

the national anthem Craig what's what's the

44:02

over under for that because for all

44:04

those listening yes you can keep moving

44:06

that on how long I

44:08

don't even know who's singing it what's

44:10

an octopus Reba

44:12

is doing the I'm going over

44:14

yeah Reba is gonna belt

44:16

out some longer it sees so but like wow he

44:19

was that 89 and a half last time I looked

44:21

it keeps moving started 83 and then it went to

44:23

like 93 seconds but now it's I think it's back

44:25

down to 89 seconds there's all

44:27

these swifty bits it's plus

44:29

200 I think for what's a swifty

44:31

back crack I bet that that's what

44:33

I was telling you about it's all

44:36

any longs any quarter

44:38

to have 22 points scored blank

44:41

space kills me Travis

44:43

Kelsey to score an octopus I

44:45

don't know what that means octopus

44:49

octopus drafting bet hold on

44:52

let me cover name for when the

44:56

same player scores a touchdown and the

44:58

ensuing two-point conversion oh

45:00

wow so then so

45:02

then sent Travis has to score but

45:04

they have to do point

45:06

inversion okay well then how about this

45:09

come out let's just talk about

45:11

like a few things that we want to bet on

45:13

so a couple of prop beds if

45:16

the over under for Reba is 90 seconds and

45:18

I want the under the coin

45:20

tosses heads the Gatorade color is that

45:22

you and Nick said orange okay so

45:24

if you say orange okay man then

45:26

I'll go orange and I

45:29

want to talk about stay

45:31

blue the first well

45:33

I mean if like we're all gonna go

45:35

in together but if we're gonna be you

45:38

know Travis Kelsey scoring the first touchdown is

45:40

plus some 50 I think I like that

45:42

that's a good one and now what about

45:47

the overall bet gentlemen who is winning

45:50

the game who did the NFL I

45:52

like Craig that I think I

45:55

think the not I think the Niners luck is

45:57

up I think the horseshoe shoved up Brock pretty

45:59

fast is going to fall out and I think the Chiefs

46:01

win. Yeah,

46:03

I do too. I think the Chiefs are going

46:06

to win. I think they win at a walk-off field goal. I

46:08

think the Chiefs win, but

46:11

since I'm going to bet on this, I'm

46:14

the worst bettor of all time apparently. So

46:17

I'm going to go the opposite of what I think and

46:19

I'm going to say that Niners win money line. I'm

46:21

saying Niners win money line, which means

46:23

they just have to win, right? But

46:26

they... I mean, it's only a two

46:28

point spread. I probably bet on that one. I bet on this one,

46:30

22. So I'm... So

46:32

I do think that the Chiefs are going to

46:34

win, but because I truly think that, I'm going

46:36

the opposite of what I think. And so Niners

46:39

hoisted. That's what I think. All

46:43

right. Well, you heard it here first, guys. And

46:47

I hope you have... I hope

46:50

you can see Craig on whatever

46:52

stream... Whoever watches it on YouTube.

46:54

YouTube. Craig is lounging

46:56

hard and is cracking

46:59

me up. The Super Bowl

47:01

being watched from the home, one

47:03

art bowl out. They

47:05

crushed everything else. So I hope you have fun watching

47:07

the Super Bowl. Wherever you watch it, be safe. Use

47:11

Uber or Lyft and entering and drive or a

47:13

DD. Or if you

47:15

have a pregnant wife, that's a good DD, but don't make

47:17

her leave the house. Use the computer to drive you around.

47:20

The next time that we record that, Craig's going

47:22

to be 36 years old. So

47:25

hey. Craig's

47:29

like... Craig's like, you need

47:32

that part. No, I was just trying to tell

47:34

you, I forgot how old I was yesterday and

47:36

I said, Siri, how old is

47:38

Craig Conover? They'd

47:40

answered. Yeah. Nice.

47:44

And then I had to add a year and shoot it. I was going to

47:46

say, I was going to say, shoot a center. Siri,

47:49

how old is Craig Conover? Google says you're 34. Looks

47:53

like you're 35 years old. Oh

47:55
