Oh vice verse I think they did I don't know if they did cuz I couldn't see them but I believe that they did do the funnest thing though I would text like nine numbers in a group just random numbers and I would be like yeah I feel like Randall just won first place brought up just found a picture of just Google like Asian boy with trophy and found like a random picture of like an Asian kid with

America really you know but thanks for asking about it but yeah I mean it was you know I quit doing it because now the laws are a little bit different I think now it's more risque and there were some

wounds but is it true that you had an ex-girlfriend cheating on you with one of the offensive linemen damn boy you guys are good yes I did at least one of them you know she's a prolific woman yes I did and one time she took me to a game he got the T given her the tickets and she took me to the game we're sitting in his seat and I was just sitting there cheering for him I don't even know do you think that it was just a bad call that kept the Saints out of the Super Bowl this year do you think it's possible that there was something more sinister at play I still blend the play calling you know Sean Payton wants to be cute all the time do you have a favorite Manning brother what about the one with the short arms Cooper who's that one with the short arms yeah he's gotta be super Doug cool well yeah he's [ __ ] throwing mortgages to people bro I went to a party one time when uh Eli was in college and I went to a party at his apartment and he wore a cowboy hat I thought it was a weirdest [ __ ] thing I'd ever seen in my life dude do it huh we haven't even had to touch this milk huh what's your beef with Denny's bro dude you're nice a joke that whoa someone caught me hmm hey him brah it gets real like somebody's [ __ ] broke in the back door you know I guess I'm gonna left that key under the pot bro something [ __ ] caught me mm-hmm head on a swivel yeah it just started to get to the point where it was like I just felt like a victim every time I left there and I didn't feel good about myself and I would leave Denny's but doesn't he was just like food it's like you're just programmed to go in there keep are always fistfight if there were anything else they'd shut it down have you noticed this trend of fast food chains putting together comedy Twitter accounts yeah do you

chick on the top rope high elbow just comes in dude just an angry redhead just [ __ ] flying and then Carl's jr. gets in there whatever he is you know [Applause] i doing so far Theo I feel like very good yeah I feel like good to man I was so scared really oh dude I was so scared man and I felt bad mom miles putting her husband in a hospice stays like 90-something man I'm sorry to hear that me - sorry I should have said that but then I'm trying to tell her about this - hot wings I'm about to eat this is so selfish I was like mom it's can't [ __ ] she's like he's got 48 hours so like I know I know I know yeah I'm not to kill these chicken wings ya about eatin these [ __ ] goddamn it but so far so good yeah so far so good I feel we have a recurring segment on our show called explaining that Graham where do a deep dive under gas and simple interesting pictures that need more context so I'll bust out the laptop I'll show you the picture you just tell me the bigger story does that sound good yeah all right laptop please [Music] all right Theo what was your biggest challenge in climbing Mount Kilimanjaro probably doing duties outdoors at that altitude you know I'm used to operating my ass and basically sea level and you know below sea level even from Louisiana but you know you got a whole different [ __ ] culture inside of you that altitude it is different huh yeah it is and you almost have to have a buddy you gotta have like a little like a [ __ ] shaman yeah but I recommend Kilimanjaro to anybody because it's not that hard to do and it can be a nice time to spend with other people where'd you have a better time at the run fair or the field of dreams house wow you guys have good questions dude I forgot about my own life dude the Ren Faire is really a front for people doing drugs there's like a drug sex orgy over that the run fair it's kind of out of control yeah you have a lot of people that you can tell they've been up all night doing sex or sweating and uh some up if you really listen you can hear them fighting about it's regular [ __ ] you know oh and each other money for grams and all of this [ __ ] and it's like I pick up on that stuff you know these subtleties going on you know so I'm like you see these two dudes fighting with wooden swords and one of them's [ __ ] really in it you know one of them's fighting is trying to fight his way back and a half of an 8-ball the people that go there you see a lot of big tits tied up you know which I like seeing but that field of dreams if you've never been there Dyersville Iowa man you're just driving along and it's definitely worth driving off the interstate board [Music] I feel bad man I feel like I'm doing all the talking you know but that's how it goes you know that yeah this guy do you feel do you feel like when you're hosting a guest like what responsibilities do you think you have um ought to be questioned you know I just want to keep the conversation just honestly just as comfortable as I can these days I feel like people like that what do you think is different about when you're a guest versus when you're hosting like sometimes I go on other shows and I feel this ridiculous anxiety because I feel like I have to keep the whole tent up right you know and that actually makes you kind of an annoying guest yeah you know when you should just kind of just sit there and they'll put a ball on a tee for you and you just smack it and then you just load up and smack another ball but I always feel like you know I'm taking over like encroaching like a responsibility and then you might feel bad even if you do sometimes yeah yeah yeah that is it is uncomfortable it's uncomfortable kind of doing both sides of some of the stuff would you do before this ma'am I was a copywriter were you really yeah you ever go on like the subway that's like visit Wyoming and there's like a picture of a bison or something I was like doing that for Chicago and like in a cubicle or whenever Italy yeah but then does it keep my eye of the tiger I would do like freelance articles for different magazines I was like ooh Chicago guy it was kind of a crazy time in my life because I'm working like 80 hours a week every week and I was already working this job that was kind of demanding in its own right and then I'd have all these deadlines floating above me constantly so that was the time in my life I don't regret it because I wouldn't be where I am now write about it but I don't think I could ever relive it where do you think you got that work ethic from that's a lot of work to do you know it's probably looking at myself and maybe feeling like I could do better or be better you know like sometimes you'll see somebody who's got like a 12-pack or whatever but it's like they're kind of perfecting on the outside what's broken on the inside you know it ends up creating this Drive in them like this spot that they didn't even know they have right and I think maybe professionally I was experiencing the same thing I feel like it's well back in Europe yeah like I couldn't put down stakes in this cubicle and just wear khakis to work Monday through Thursday and then have the Friday where I can wear jeans and then I'm like a slave to this microsoft outlook inbox and getting like gee chats and like working on things that I don't give a [ __ ] about it's like that was like death to me like I started getting really into the Chicago Bulls and I was like oh that's how that happens no like Bulls yeah cuz like yeah I'm like I'm like assigning my own sense of self-worth to how good this team does and I was like that's how this [ __ ] happens then you're eating every [ __ ] anniversary over at Edna Bewick's or whatever that place is yeah and I'm getting like the the cupcake with the one yeah and that would be the rest of my life and you're [ __ ] killing yourself in a car outside of Hardee's brother do do you know how that happens that's how that spirals actually love Hardee's which the tallest girl he ever dated be honest though when I was in eighth grade I dated this volleyball chick that was like 510 but I was like five three years and then I'm the cover then on the cover of like the 8th grade paper there's like a picture from the eighth grade dance and we're slow dancing and I'm around her hips and she's like I'm at like her waist my mom bought every copy like at graduation came home in just a box those papers she was so proud that's the most ridiculous picture gonna [ __ ] structure sweater vest yeah yeah structure bra yeah structure was awesome dude that's awesome bro that's the [ __ ] it's like you're like her son you know yeah [Laughter] [Music] I had bronchitis but it's not contagious but dude my first girlfriend at real short hair you know kind of like a young man like a Frenchman and she when the bus would come dude she was much stronger than me she would like lift me up and [ __ ] hit me a kiss goodbye and all my brother and his friends will be on the bus cuz it picked him up first she was literally [ __ ] I couldn't stop her she played second base man I think we got molested [Music] damn man [ __ ] thank you so much this

"I couldn't put down stakes in this cubicle and wear khakis Monday through Thursday and then have the Friday where I can wear jeans. And then I'm a slave to this Microsoft Outlook inbox and getting G-Chats and working on things I don't give a fuck about. That was like death to me."

...ouch Sean. That hit real close to home.

Also respect to Theo for eating every bit or every wing. Almost everyone eats one bite, but he went back in twice on Da Bomb and finished it.
