They're great. The gram co.com. So perfect.
Eric Readinger
5:37
When I go through and as you step over, please. And this is in front of everybody. And it goes
Law Smith
5:43
to take you profiled you he because you guys, you guys, it's showing
Eric Readinger
5:47
something in your pocket before I can even say anything. The dude had his hand up
3
Speaker 3
5:54
up my paint like made a legit grab your point you're pointing to
Law Smith
5:59
basically where you're like, Yeah, your deck would hang if it's on one side or the other to the point
Eric Readinger
6:04
where I stopped and I looked up and I looked around like you guys anybody see this? Just it's it you got a piece on you probably I haven't seen as to just been showing up there. I don't know, man, but it was egregious. You were
Law Smith
6:16
John Hammond it. And you know that the whole thing with Jon Hamm. I mean, they said the pants are too tight on Mad Men for him and he has a piece on him and it was distracting. Oh, that's pretty cool. Yeah.
Eric Readinger
6:29
Yeah, but that was going out. That was the first thing that happened. So everything else was fine.
Law Smith
6:35
So he said there's something in your pants not your pocket. But in your he goes
3
Speaker 3
6:39
it's showing in your pants is what he said. This is like the biggest humblebrag and I was like what? And he's got and before I can even react. I'm looking around like you're gonna
6:52
go to jail, right? Nothing?
Law Smith
6:54
No, tell me a little bit, buddy. Yeah. Did you have to go do the halo thing too?
Eric Readinger
7:00
Was that your hands up? Yeah. I did that. I mean, that was after that.
Law Smith
7:04
Oh, interesting. Maybe he just liked you. I don't know. There's a comic. I know that does that. Maybe I can ask him. What's that about?
7:14
Because does what?
Law Smith
7:16
TSA stuff? Oh, he works. I I used to run into him the Southwest terminal.
7:23
He's gonna be like, yeah, like I just felt you up.
Law Smith
7:25
I know. But it was validated a little bit. You think? He just thought you're cute. I mean, what are you talking about?
Eric Readinger
7:31
Like, get the guy look like I guess? Not not like a good looking guy or anything? Honestly. I don't remember.
Law Smith
7:39
Are you traumatized now? Wow. Tiki had a goatee T. Yeah, go t is this very much 90s for some reason. Oh, yeah. I know, I think I said that. I was I was doing a show last Friday, or two Fridays ago, called big girl pants. And then I was doing crowd work. You had to do a game show. And then later the two contestants do stand up. It's like a female oriented show. You have to answer a bunch of questions like, can you draw a clitoris and I was like, Jesus. It's really funny. I'm hoping the audio sounds good. And maybe we'll put it out on on this feed. But the guy I'm talking I'm doing crowd work with this one crazy lady. And then the husband that's right next to her who's the husband is like, she doesn't tell the story, right? Like that kind of thing. Like two super loud people probably, you know, late 50s. And he's got a goatee, and I'm just like, man, you just don't, you know, you've had that goatee since like, 97.
Eric Readinger
8:42
Right? You were sure that he wasn't covering up some kind of scar or so ahead of time.
Law Smith
8:48
Like, are you gonna play the percentages? I'm not gonna, you know, it's one of those things where if he did say that I've ever done I'd be like, Well, you can't see the crowd. Really? The lights are so bright on you. Like you don't want to do the hand make excuses for me. I'm just saying you know I'm saying you don't want to do you've done you've done enough stand up to know like, you can't see you can't see anything
Eric Readinger
9:09
really just make out the guests who features Yeah, and you don't want
Law Smith
9:13
to put your hand over your eyes kind of thing for some reason. That always looks bad. I thought anyway, I don't care you don't really care because his wife was interrupting a lot of shit. So it to me it was like I've got carte blanche to talk shit. Yeah.
2
Speaker 2
9:29
But her point to this just go cheese. Goat cheese. Yeah, fuck that guy.
Law Smith
9:33
I think goat cheese or vestige of the 90s Like, I don't know why people thought that was a cool look.
Eric Readinger
9:40
I don't know. Brad Pitt look cool that but it's Brad Pitt. Right? The only one ever anybody else look cool. Go t not even. Nope,
Law Smith
9:50
doop doop doop to fat. Jeff Bagwell.
9:55
Okay, that's true. That he was on steroids though.
Law Smith
9:58
Yeah, dude from Metallica. James Hetfield because his kind of look like
Eric Readinger
10:03
his was a peak or the handlebar mustache.
Law Smith
10:05
I think he did both
10:08
singer Metallica Yeah,
10:10
I know. Bringing up like oh yeah the old
10:13
time badass the A listers Yeah.
Law Smith
10:15
The 90s 18 Ooh, that might be a good man crush Hall of Fame who's Jose can say goes in there.
10:23
Don't call it Van Damme. Yep.
Law Smith
10:26
He might be number one where he played Guile in Street Fighter. Yeah, I mean the American American military veteran bright.
Eric Readinger
10:38
Line early speak English. Short on actors in America so we'll use on Claude Van Damme because he could do splits.
Law Smith
10:45
Yeah. And Sonic.
10:48
I agree with it. Totally. I love it. Yeah,
Law Smith
10:52
sure. They needed to lead. It's not going to be Raul Julia. He's
Eric Readinger
10:56
gonna say how was that guy the most badass. Like what was his name? Gomez Addams. Yeah. Is Julian bison the badass Oh, he
Law Smith
11:05
was he but he's like us an actual like badass actor and a bunch of like theater shades
11:11
that get that's a lot different than being a badass.
Law Smith
11:14
I know. But sometimes I see this with movies now. Like, if you get some inexperienced people because everything's like an ensemble cast now. Because you can't No one can carry carry like a movie by themselves. Now. What? That's not true. What do you mean?
11:31
You're told me Meryl Streep doesn't walk in and carry a movie but
Law Smith
11:34
I'm saying like, ticket sales. Like it's not we're not in the age of like, Tom Cruise is in this movie. And now it will sell
Eric Readinger
11:41
right and Will Smith is probably the last hope he has over
Law Smith
11:46
Yeah, yeah. Man that is a that's gonna be a weird structure. Yeah,
Eric Readinger
11:51
that's not happening. That already happened. In black for
Law Smith
11:57
you don't remember men and black three already came out. It came and went. I don't think there were any. I think it was a prequel. I don't know. It was it was like right there. female Ghostbusters and they had like a check. And then
12:12
the watch the new Ghostbusters on my trip.
Law Smith
12:15
The new noon Paul Rudd. Is it good new
Eric Readinger
12:18
bro it there. I mean, it's a lot. It's two hours of you know shit going on with just blatant like disregard for continuity of a story. Just like cast members that disappear for moments on end when they're clearly involved in the scene. Like it's like, Wait, what happened? I don't back. Okay, great. It was like shockingly bad.
Law Smith
12:43
I do miss traveling where you you're almost forced to watch like bad movies Exactly. are the best. Like this might be the best of a bad slate I can choose from we'll see I
Eric Readinger
12:53
got invested on the way over on the outgoing trip. I only got into like an hour. 15 minutes. And then on the way back. I was like, I'm finishing this shit. Got about an hour and a half. And then we had to fucking watch it at home just to be like,
Law Smith
13:09
it's rough. Done. Yeah, I have that problem with podcast episodes. If I'm like halfway to finish it. I don't know what that's about. But I watched the Batman when I had the flu last week. Okay, that was long. Long. This there is a score throughout the whole movie thing. Oh, there's no there's not a scene where there's not some kind of song going on. Weird. I'm pretty I'm almost sure I didn't look it up. I didn't want to but. But it did throw me off. It was well done for the most part. Except when they showed cat woman coming out. And it was like it. No, it did like you don't remember that part. You watch it. I didn't see it. Oh, you haven't seen it? It's worth watching. I give it a b b minus.
13:54
Keep doing more Batman's dude. Well,
Law Smith
13:58
it's email Batman. So do you like dashboard confessional? Because this Batman does this Batman for sure. Loves by chemical romance. Not a lot of Bruce Wayne in it.
14:12
So he's mostly just Batman. Mostly bat. Yeah,
Law Smith
14:14
it started. He's already in like year two.
Eric Readinger
14:17
Okay. It no origin bullshit. That's good. Yeah, well, I'm gonna have to sit through another that I know what
Law Smith
14:24
happened. I'd say that's a big plus. Like you don't have to redo because every, every time they redo this, you have to like even the Batman versus Superman. At the beginning scenes are like, right and falling down a well or whatever fucking parents getting killed or some shit. And you're like, I don't want to do this origin story again. But it was it was good. I'd say Colin Farrell is awesome in it to me. I can't tell if it's over the top campy and I just like him or if it's actually really good, but I think it's he's worth watching it interesting. He He's the penguin Yeah, but he's got a bunch of like fucking Professor clump like makeup on okay so he's like a fat shit with like a gold tooth like, you know off to the side not necessarily think Norbit but Norbit is another one Yeah, but like but and then tutorials great in it oh nice he's the bad guy. I've read there's bad guy who's pretty good too
15:25
was Riddler if Paul down
Law Smith
15:27
okay, you know from there Oh, yeah, I know which I said it which I have to do anytime I go to a PDQ on purpose for my kids to get milkshakes so you have a milkshake and I have a straw in my struggles. If your milkshake I drink it up we're gonna do a shot for shot parody of me doing that to my kids. I'm gonna get an old sweater. Like a cardigan like he's wearing in that and I'm gonna get a mustache and then get by giggling kids instead of frightened guy who's about to get hit with a bowling pin
Eric Readinger
16:07
do the opening shot where he falls down the well and breaks his leg. It's cold
Law Smith
16:16
that makes sense. A dad joke to me at my house. Um What else happened? The Dominican any hunger strike hit on you
Eric Readinger
16:26
know, I didn't see any hawkers at the resort. Thank you know, there was a you know,
Law Smith
16:34
we sneak in we met
Eric Readinger
16:35
people who described encounters. That sure sounded like they were talking to hackers. But justifying not coming out. Well, there's a casino on, on the resort. Round. There you go. And,
Law Smith
16:51
man, that's convenient. Yeah. Well, gamble. No. What did you do? You didn't do hookers or casino
16:59
drinking hung out. swam around. naked. Naked hugging.
Law Smith
17:06
Play a game behind the deck.
17:08
Oh, I got interesting fellow. Actually. I got to tell you about afterwards.
Law Smith
17:13
Oh, yeah. Really? Yeah. That good. Has to be off air. Out of respect for the guy. Yeah. Yeah. You met a guy on the trip? Yeah. Okay. You took
Eric Readinger
17:26
to me. In the way a guy took to me. This is very different taking different now.
Law Smith
17:35
Okay, okay. I'm Dominican change. Do you say you didn't get out of the resort? No, I don't know. You can drink and drive. It's legal.
Eric Readinger
17:46
Yeah, exactly. One reason to not leave the resort. I mean,
Law Smith
17:49
if you're a pussy dude.
17:53
Yeah, we have a car either.
Law Smith
17:55
Yeah. All I can remember is what I was slacking about is like every adult shake has braces because they they get them later. There was a you think any woman Oh, when I was this about 10 years ago, when I went and I was wearing a Tampa Bay hat much like I'm wearing now. And it looked like they think you're like a baseball player. Legit. If you're any, any close to in shape, and Doofy white guy down there. And they're like, you play baseball. I was like, no, because they're like, dude, they're gonna harass you if they think you're a ballplayer,
18:29
but that didn't happen. So
Law Smith
18:32
it's like, it happened. Way too many. I was like, shut up. Dude. No one's gonna think I'm fucking baseball.
Eric Readinger
18:38
I was like I said to justify see one more Yankees had him in a barf all over the place.
Law Smith
18:43
Well, that's the resort man.
Eric Readinger
18:44
I know. But yeah. So it's so dumb. Y'all go all the teams that just randomly like guys,
Law Smith
18:50
well, no, I just It's the place that attracts. It's going to attract the New York crowd to go down there right?
Eric Readinger
18:56
No, I think it's foreigners that don't know. Oh, Yankees. Yeah, Yankees
Law Smith
19:01
jeans. Yeah, exactly. So nothing, nothing crazy. Are you able to get drugs? Because it's scary. I remember they're like, they were like you can drink and drive but if you get caught with weed, you're really fucked. And I was like, that seems out of order. Yes,
Eric Readinger
19:20
that is out of order. Yeah, I mean, it wasn't it could have really been any country it was nice having just there speak Spanish. Oh, that's uh, she had to shut me down when I you know you try whenever I was. Like, can you just not just say anything? I'm like why so you just sounds all
19:44
burnt down a portable I'm like I don't say it like
Eric Readinger
19:46
that. Like we can talk about you probably did and then well then I did after that as an apple but like, I was like,
19:54
No, so TROs Yeah.
19:58
So yeah, I got that but Whatever she speaks no, that's
Law Smith
20:01
an acela hole. Yeah. If I didn't have my my buddy that lived down there for like, a year or two, and he's fluent in Spanish, we would have been so fucked. Yeah,
20:10
I mean, that's the thing is,
Eric Readinger
20:12
I pretty much understand every conversation that's going on around me. Yeah, you just can't speak.
Law Smith
20:18
You can put it together. You didn't try to do the Google Translate app? No, I went. I took an Uber down to a wedding in Sarasota, which about an hour Whoa, really? Well, like 70 bucks. 95. Well, here's the deal. I was a late add to the wedding. So it was like, like two weeks before? And then I was like, Okay, I could get a hotel hotels are super expensive. Now. I didn't know that. Yes. And Sarasota is like where they're at. And where everybody was staying close by is like, Ritz Carlton. Like, it wasn't cheap. And so I was just like, Well, I'm not doing any of the other wedding things. So I might as well just Uber their Uber back, and I got a ride back. But with a buddy of mine, but a whole hour. So I left. I gave myself a big breath of time. Like I was like, oh, weddings at 530. I will leave at 345. And if I have to get there a little early, they deal and just fucking sit in this boot. tentacle garden. I've got there Friday.
Eric Readinger
21:25
Yeah, you're done list. Not enough time. Well, the drill.
Law Smith
21:29
The driver didn't take the best route. He tried to be GPS for some reason and went through downtown Tampa. And that added probably 45 minutes to everything. And I was alone. Uber for 345 to five, right about 530. I got there I walked up. They were already standing like everybody there was already started. Three minutes in so I had to like it was one of those things where I looked like a hitman because it was in a is in this Botanical Garden thing, but it's a big one. And then so like I was
22:04
I think I've been there. I know you're talking about the Selby?
Law Smith
22:06
Yeah. So you know, there's a huge lot. It's like one
Eric Readinger
22:10
video productions pictures. Oh, really? Yeah, we filmed.
Law Smith
22:14
So there's a big lawn like it looks like it's probably like a par four. Right? Yeah, like within length, right. So it's all the way at the were the putting green would be essentially in a gazebo at the end of this long lawn that you can and I don't know the lay of the land. So I'm just like, I'm trying to ask like caterers and Shana. Like, is there a way to like, I can tell you like sneak bys or trail or sidewalk like on the side? And they're like, Nah, man, you just gotta go up. There's a trail on both sides. So I got there late, but it was fine. I just had to stand on the back like a weirdo.
Eric Readinger
22:51
Plus your walk. Your walk? Is not.
Law Smith
22:55
It's an emphatic yes. Not
Eric Readinger
22:57
welcoming. I don't know. Is it just like a bushwhackers? They need it. Yeah, I love the wrestler. You can record me do it. I will post the Bushwackers or the Bushwackers is your walk?
Law Smith
23:10
Yeah, no. But it's, it's, I got you know, these legs got a lot of power. I
2
Speaker 2
23:16
know. Not only excuses, saying, and so do your walk.
Law Smith
23:20
So the Uber down was a nightmare. So this guy didn't speak English. And I was like, still kind of fucked up from having, like, I had night sweats. I had the fever account from my kid and then sweated it out like all night, Wednesday night or something
Eric Readinger
23:39
like that. Oh, good. roll right into that. Now
Law Smith
23:43
I made sure I made sure I was fine. I got spreader. I got an IV. I did a COVID test. I felt better, but still, like groggy? Just like sleep fucked up. You know, right? And then what's it called? So in this uber with this dude doesn't speak English. And I'm not even attempting, you know, and you're like, fuck it. I don't even want it. I don't even give a shit. I tried to talk to him
2
Speaker 2
24:04
did for a week in Mexico, Mexico. So
Law Smith
24:08
I had that. I was like, Should I try to do the Google Translate app? The whole reason I haven't on here or like, apples weather, but it was like, fuck it. I don't even I don't want to talk really. I just want to sit here and
Eric Readinger
24:19
life changing conversation with this filler. All he did all he had
Law Smith
24:23
on was 90s r&b Jam. It was like Casey and Jojo. 112 It was the most a typical like I don't I'm like Did he put this on for me? Or does he just listen to this for
Law Smith
24:40
and what's it called and so played at my wedding. But what's it called? So all the way down there and it was just like, Oh, give a shit. I had to point to the store. Right now I forgot it
Eric Readinger
25:00
rolled up and you had like a serial killer into the wedding and then you
Law Smith
25:06
assimilated in was, you know,
25:10
had you do any dancing?
Law Smith
25:13
No. Was there wasn't like, it was a smallish Wedding by 100 people.
25:19
That's plenty.
Law Smith
25:20
I don't know. I mean, I dance but I'm saying like everyone's basically married or has, you know
25:27
that's not a reason not to dance
Law Smith
25:29
was gonna dance with like, my dude friends. Why not?
25:33
You definitely dance with me, man.
Law Smith
25:35
I was. I forget you're a dancer. No, you know, I mean, it's some people call me cool. Eric. It's a situational thing. I gotta be like, Well, like I already wasn't like in the best kind of physical condition and I was just like,
Eric Readinger
25:52
you were coming in hot off that two hour Uber trip. Yeah,
Law Smith
25:55
there's that too. And I'm I'm texting friends that are there. I'm like, Dude, I don't know if I'm gonna make it in time. Blah, blah, blah. You know, they're like it's just starting I'm like, rock and yet that we're like sweaty anxiousness of like, should I just wait not just wait for the reception?
26:12
Right? But I will credit for the ceremony.
Law Smith
26:16
I got credit. Yeah, my buddy Chris is like the groom was like I saw you there standing behind everybody. Well, and then like, I think I stood in front of their fucking camera and didn't know the first three minutes I was there. That's great. Well, yeah, static camera on a tripod. It is windy as shit. And I was like, I'm just gonna make sure this camera doesn't follow like you're trying to figure out something to do. You know?
Eric Readinger
26:40
I need a job here. Yeah, you don't have to you can just
Law Smith
26:44
know everyone says no, no, everybody's sitting. Except for the people in the in the actual wedding party. They're standing the whole time. But like, it would have looked weird. If I came up. There's no seats. Nothing available. So it was just like, unless I went to the opposite side of where I was. And it was the Bride side. I didn't even notice there's an open seat until way late but I would it would look weird if I just stood there in the back like Lieutenant Dan or something like
Eric Readinger
27:11
that's the one reference. That doesn't make sense.
Law Smith
27:15
He has the steel legs.
27:17
Oh, he has magic leg.
Law Smith
27:18
Remember? At the end when he gets when he gets actually married? He's standing in the back. It's a big swing. That was that? I don't know. This is how my brain works man.
27:27
Yeah, that's a weird choice.
Law Smith
27:31
I wanted I wanted to make the crowd think a little bit
27:34
made me think the out what else?
Law Smith
27:37
We got? What five more minutes with this wasn't a very business. See one you got any?
3
Speaker 3
27:43
Oh, sorry. We do business stuff business. Just want to do some business stuff. Ya
27:48
know what? Hey, does our business stuff
Law Smith
27:51
does our IP run out on the trademark for sweat equity podcast? I was thinking about that. Yeah, but what how long does that take?
Eric Readinger
28:00
It's probably pretty soon. Okay. Was the thing he said over there was a paper. Let's see it. EagleEye
Law Smith
28:06
registered. 2019 is what I can see. Oh, really? Yeah, we've just given ourselves up. I am thinking about we probably need to start getting a studio outside of here soon. Yeah, well, you're nesting you have a fiance this could be a good art room. Sure karate room. But also, you know people want to come in person now that kind of though. You had COVID Yeah, describe that.
Eric Readinger
28:42
Yeah, I'm pretty sure finally the Dominican Republic resort faked a negative like
Law Smith
28:49
that. i What kind of test was it up in x now?
Eric Readinger
28:53
I don't know. It was go into this random hotel conference room where this lady who I I guess you're a nurse. I don't know what I don't. You're just sitting there. You have scrubs on checks out my opinion. And they're just like, okay, here, do you know do this and five minutes later? Negative.
Law Smith
29:10
So you got it. When did you get it? You know, it would have
Eric Readinger
29:14
been we came back last Tuesday and like, that's Saturday, Sunday. I was feeling shitty. I feel like I was just like
Law Smith
29:24
tired, because you got to not hurt her.
4
Speaker 4
29:27
So much. Yeah. But I thought I had it. Like body ache. Yo, yeah.
Eric Readinger
29:33
Yeah, for sure. And I was like, oh, man, I've been drinking for days on end. So that's what this is. Right. And yeah, I there's no way that I had a separate disease. Tested negatives
Law Smith
29:50
of separate disease. Yeah. And
Eric Readinger
29:52
then came back and got COVID Also, like I'm saying these tests that they hand out at the resorts are just bullshit. There's no away because then they have to provide like the The hotel has to give you a certain number of days after that for free or some shit
Law Smith
30:07
so I'm thinking it's an insurance thing they have to just look like they give a shit exactly right right they don't get sued because they're probably own I mean it's like probably an American company or something Marriott or some shit I don't think so Marriott owns like they they just started buying a bunch of brands and stuff or the plane but the actually the they say the plane is actually the best place to be in an odd way because the air cycles out so much. sounds wrong. I sounds wrong to me. But I keep hearing that over and over that like
30:41
the best place to be for who?
Law Smith
30:43
Well, did you have to wear masks on the plane?
3
Speaker 3
30:45
No, that's the crazy thing is interesting. The mask mandate was lifted while we were gone. Wow. So going down. We had to wear a mask all the way that would be interesting. I mean, we have to but I did. Oh,
Eric Readinger
30:59
bullshit, man, but I'm not going to be a dick. And you know, I was all for coughing. So it was like, just be that
31:04
guy like, oh, yeah, man, America.
Law Smith
31:06
Yeah. And like you don't know you have it for it could be a while that you don't know. Also, like,
2
Speaker 2
31:12
I don't have COVID I know that. That's for sure. I don't have COVID I just got tested for it. Oh, man.
Eric Readinger
31:21
That's cool. Just got it too. Yeah. And neither one of us have had it. Before I
Law Smith
31:26
know you escaped. You were like the last person I know. That didn't get it.
31:31
That's over what?
Law Smith
31:33
You know, what? Did you have any brain fog? That was my still have brain
2
Speaker 2
31:38
fog. Yeah, I'm like, Dude, I remember. Because
31:42
before I actually tested myself
Eric Readinger
31:46
at one point, because the kids were coming back, I was like, we should really just take these tests that we have here. You know, I remember work really, man. Just shift for brains right now. Like set it out loud so that everybody was like, I feel good. He's gonna shit for brains. It's everybody know? And it was just like, man, like, your right? Brain fog is real. I'm still there. Like, I still feel that I'm like two
Law Smith
32:09
and then if you party like we both do on the norm, right? On the reg that you're like, well, this could just be me having bad memory. And then I don't think you're a hypochondriac like I am because I get all in my head. I'm like, what if this is how I am forever that's how I am every time I'm sick. Sure, like this is this is me. This is the live law. I just have I just have body aches from now on. This is how I roll or this is this is why I
3
Speaker 3
32:36
die is getting old. This is getting old. Yeah, I
Eric Readinger
32:40
everyday it feels like he got thrown out a flight of stairs. Yeah,
Law Smith
32:43
it's like the flu body aches and then mixed with the brain. The brain shit was crazy. And I remember when we were podcasting then that like NFL season 2020 season the Buccaneers winning season but like when like Lamar Jackson and Cam Newton got I was like bet against those teams. Yeah, because your brains I don't know what that is quarterback right. And Mike I bet we can find the stats on them after they got it and just how bad they were. Yeah, like the next two or three weeks.
Eric Readinger
33:13
Dude, I can tell you the trip back the first flight I was miserable. Like it was like I was like I was sure that the the
3
Speaker 3
33:22
pilot was flying slower than he needed to I was like this is not for our trip like what are you guys doing up there? Like get your shit together? Like I was so sore.
Law Smith
33:29
Did you go through Miami?
Eric Readinger
33:31
No on the way back we did go through Charlotte. Oh, which was like a four hour ride Damn. So like I didn't take any ibuprofen before going I didn't take anything that I would I ran out and I was like, Oh man, you know I'll just get some ibuprofen when I get over there. And by the time we got there our plane had run late and we would have had to hustle to get to connecting flight or we could wait like an hour and a half two hours I was like just I do not feel like running across the airport and trying to fucking get onto the connecting flight and then continue to feel like shifts we don't have time to get like we're gonna chill out get to later. I was like dude, I did not want to be rocking chairs. It was I was like, I was like, like a like bringing my knees to my chest. Rotating stretching all that shit.
Law Smith
34:20
I was like, well, and the worst is I just feel like you've been a bag of shit on vacation all week probably right? And you're like man, I got the DTS I would have started drinking probably tried it. You couldn't do it
Eric Readinger
34:32
