it can help with health stand as well. I want to be one of those granddads one day that you see in the video of him swinging his grandkid around. I want to rely on myself for as long as I possibly can.

Alright, what's up everybody? What's up everybody? Can't talk today. Welcome to this week's Pillows and Beer. Back to you on the radio instead of live. Here in the Hall Wine Studio. Joining me, my bestie as always, Austin Kroll. What's up Austin? That was a good one dude. What's up everybody? What's up everybody? What's up everybody?

What is up, everybody? It feels good to be podcasting again, Craig, as much fun as the live shows are. I just like when you and I get to shoot the breeze, talk about everything, anything, and nothing sometimes.

Yeah, I look, I'm excited. I'm glad we sat down. I know we're both going into a busy weekend, which we'll get to. What's the deal with Olivia Rodrigo? She's pretty well liked, right? Or is there any scandal around her? Because that song just gets me going. I don't think there's any scandal around her, but I don't I don't like, you know, I mean, it would have popped up, right? It would have popped up in in a someplace. No, I think that she is just just just great.

Yeah. A high modity right now. I think she's doing really well. Well, good and good for Olivia. Anyway, that song. Yeah. We're we're popping on here. Austin's about to head to Napa. What are you doing in Napa Austin? Yeah. So once again, Hall wine is having a Cabernet cook-off and lucky enough to

to where, I mean, I'm gonna toot my own horn. No, well, I shouldn't. No, wait, it's the opposite of tooting my own horn. So Ed O'Neill, right? You know who that is? The dad in... Modern Family. Modern Family. The top dad. Yeah, yeah. The one married to Gloria. Right? Is that her name, Gloria? Yeah.

uh he he was supposed to go to be one of you know the four or five guest guest judges at at this cabernet kickoff and he had to pull out and so uh lisa and catherine thought of thought of us wanted wanted you to come to craig but but craig has his own thing and so you know they're flying us out there they're putting us up just like first class all the way and just said that the competition should just be so much fun on saturday she was like look

We have all these things planned. And then Saturday, I mean, it's a thousand person, you know, ticketed event. It's all sold out and it's just a blast. So now Shep, Shep is coming as well with Taylor.

That sounds fun. It should be a lot of fun. Yeah, I've never been to Napa and we were supposed to go, Craig, remember? And it was literally right when Napa was on fire. And so we emailed them and we were like, hey, we understand that y'all are dealing with a lot because they were super nice about it still, weren't they, Craig? They were like, you guys can come out still if you want to. And we were like, yeah, that seems a bit just like insensitive on like your neighbor's vineyards are on fire.

Yeah, it just didn't work out. I've never been to Napa either. And the wine is one of our favorite things. And so hopefully I'll get a chance to go out there and should be fun. I will be in Scottsdale or I would be out there with you. I know you check my office with what we're going to do a podcast in Scottsdale with chicks in the office. Yeah. So so so like a live thing like like we've been doing.

Yeah. So I guess Rhea and Fran are on tour too. They're doing like their West coast tour. I think they're in San Diego tonight or yesterday. And,

And, you know, I was just there in New York and they were like, hey, I know this is random, which I think we should start doing on our the next leg of our tour, because I mean, what did it hurt? What did they have to lose to ask us? And I was like, you know what? I've always wanted to do Scottsdale. Might as well just come out. Yeah. You know, once again, it's it's one of those things where if you have like a free weekend and friends are asking you to come out and have some fun.

It kind of seems like a no-brainer and that's how I felt about Napa, but man, that'll be a blast. We definitely should figure out if we can have some fun friends come on with us because we were just trying to figure it out. We were just trying to figure it out, getting our bearings, getting everything straight.

And considering that we just had so much fun, like I definitely think that we could bring out guests in different places for like 10, 15 minutes or, you know, who knows? I mean, knowing us, it'll be like a 30 minute thing. Yeah. I mean, it's, uh, yeah, I know we don't do anything quickly. Um, Chicago was our last tour stop and it was just as fun as the other ones. How fun was that?

That was so fun. It's always fun to meet unexpected fans too. Like Whitney's buddy, the drummer from a band called Anthrax, which I guess is heavy metal, right? Heavy metal, which is right up Whitney's alley. And so Whitney's been texting me about this guy for weeks. And then finally the morning of the show, he was like, Hey man, once again, you know, can you put my buddy Charlie on the list? And I was like, Oh yeah, yeah.

you know, and so I texted Nick and Nick put his name on and they were, you know, him and his girlfriend were so excited to come and meet us. And,

And it was just cool. It was just cool. What's her name? She's a singer too. She tagged us in something. Yeah. I actually was, I actually was DMing with her a little bit, asking her if she had fun. She was like, Oh my God, so fun. And like the most awesome thing, Craig is that, is that she was like, so is that a whole show? Just like, you know, spontaneous. And I'm like, yeah, well, you know, Nick kind of like,

Like he comes up with slides and some of the slides are certainly topics that we've talked about on the podcast, you know, before that, like we revisit, but it's always fun to have like a new and kind of hot take about them. And so, yeah, I was like, yeah, you know, the, the, the, the whole show is meant to be just like, you know, funny and spontaneous banter between Craig and I. And she was like, that is impressive as shit. And I was like, thank you.

Well, I'm glad she liked it. What's her look at your DMs? What's her name again? Cause someone might listen to her band. Yes. Yeah. Oh, her name is Carla Harvey and she is in a band called the butcher babies, butcher babies, butcher them out. And then we met her friend too. It was great. Hey, revisiting. Have you been to Scott's tale? Cause I've always wanted to go to the waste management tournament. No, funny enough, Craig,

I was supposed to go to my buddy's bachelor party in Scottsdale, but our first leg or like our first four stops were during that weekend. So we were in New York and then Philly. And so, yeah, I had to I had to unfortunately not go to the bachelor party. But that's OK, because I'm going to the wedding in the Bahamas in a couple of weeks. But no, to answer your question, no, I have not.

That's right. We also, and I both went to the gym today, which tried to get on track now that we're home a little bit. We're not home though, Craig, because we're both leaving tomorrow and it's tough. It's so tough because I mean, I know that you've, that you've been going like crazy, but,

especially because your girlfriend lives in New York. And so you go and visit her often, right? If like you're flying back from somewhere, it's like you fly there for like a day or two or before we go somewhere, you fly in 'cause it's such an easy flight. And I've been doing the same thing, sans the like going to New York for a long period of time. But I mean, I counted it on the calendar and since Winterhouse, wait, it's been announced, right?

I don't wanna, okay. So since Vermont, I have been home in my house for a combination of 13 days. That was eight or nine weeks ago, man. So like it's been super tough to get into any sort of routine. So yeah.

going to the gym today felt really, really good. I don't know about you, but like I left and I was like, I'm a whole new man. I'm a fit guy again. You know, obviously not a single thing has changed. We just felt good. So after though, we went and we,

We eat at a place that we won't name, but it's just great food for after the gym. And the girl that works there is such a sweetheart. But she told us last time, she was like, well, don't tip on the computer because the boss, like my owner, just keeps all the tips. And so we've been giving her cash. And Austin today was like, went to hit the computer screen and he was like, oh, that's right. We don't tip on here. We're doing cash because your boss keeps them. And her face went like white, white.

And she was like, he's right back there. Yeah, she was like, right over there. I was like, oh no, blink twice if you need me to save you. Right.

Seriously. Because it's illegal. And then when we sat down at the table, I actually showed Austin this lawsuit in Texas where this old barbecue joint was ordered to pay like almost $900,000 in tips, like in owed tips and overtime, which I hate hearing about that. But I was like, Greg, I feel like maybe you should take it upon yourself to...

- Yeah, I mean, I was thinking that and here's the thing, like she would lose her job, right? If she became the plaintiff and you wanna get paid for a while. So it's one of those things, like it's kind of a risk and obviously if it continues to happen, but maybe like we make a phone call

If we figure out a way to do it without her getting in trouble, then we can scare them into like following. I mean, you're right. That is so strange that she said that. And like, I kept on asking her questions about it last time. I was like, wait, what do you mean? Right. Because I couldn't like that. Like, you know, naiveness in me just couldn't believe that what she was saying. I was like, so what are you, what are you saying exactly? And finally, correct. Was like, Austin, she's saying exactly what you think that she's saying. You just can't wrap your brain around it. And I was like, no, no, no. So hold on.

Break this down for me. You're telling me that you don't get computer tips? She was like, I do not get computer tips. And I was like, okay, hold on, hold on. Back up. So you're telling me. That's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. Yeah. And it's crazy. And it's kind of eye-opening for people.

you know, a lot of times people don't do what they're supposed to do. And, you know, you would just think the owner of a company pays his workers the tips that they earn, but they don't always. So, yeah, we will revisit this because I'm not sure what...

Obviously, guys, the right, I get what everyone's thinking or a lot of people thinking. The idealist approach is like, this shouldn't be happening. We need to do something about it. The realistic approach is if we do something, she's probably going to lose her job. We don't know what she makes hourly either, Craig. I mean, I'm guessing not, you know, like an eye-opening number, but like if she's not getting tips or those tips, then hopefully, right, she's making like,

- $13 to $15 an hour? - Well, yeah, but it doesn't take away from the fact that you're not allowed to keep tips. - Right, right, right, no, no.

I mean, look, this is basically the example. If we put a tip option on our iPads at sewing down South, you would think that you were tipping Jack or Madison or whoever was working. Sure. The last thing people would think is that it was just an extra way for me to make an additional like 20% of a sale. Right. Like that's fucked up. Right. And not cool. But anyway, so then we, um, so then we came home and, uh,

I was like, where is Craig going to go with this next? So then we...

But we ate lunch and then we came home as one does after the gym. Hold on, Craig. Something that I want to mention that I see that Nick wrote here and it's awesome because we started out the podcast so hot and we were trending like top 20. And there are so many podcasts out there and we know that all of you have so many options to listen to. I mean, a podcast is not necessarily like a new and groundbreaking thing, but it's

Pillows and Beer is once again rated in the top 200 again and top 100 in TV and film globally. So Craig, that, well, our fans actually, that deserves a little round of applause. Thank you so much. It like comes in and out. It's like it gets muffled with here, but maybe like on your end, it sounds great.

I mean, you're in, it sounds great, but that's, that's, that's awesome, man. So that's important. And thank you all so much for,

choosing to tune into pillows and beer every week. Yeah. And you know, we haven't had any guests on either in a while, which is us and trying to stay consistent, even though we're all over the place. I love that. I say we're home when we get like two nights here, but. No, it's so true, man. I mean, being busy is good. It's definitely good because like, you know, idle hands is, is, is like a dangerous thing. Right. But being on the move constantly is, you know, keeping your mind busy and,

And yeah, and moving and grooving. It's fun. And then we get to tell you guys about our adventures and you get to live with them and be updated. I mean, that's the whole reason that Craig and I said that we wanted to start a podcast because...

We're on, okay, well now it's different because Craig, we've recently been on too much television, but it used to be Southern Charm only. And the gap between being on TV and being off was like so vast that we were like, maybe there are people out there that want to know what we're up to in, you know, in the off season.

Yeah. And I'm glad, you know, we've taken it from our drunken Instagram lives that you all watch to a more organized platform sometimes on here. All right. We're going to take a quick commercial break and we'll be right back after a quick word from our best friend sponsors. This episode is brought to you by Gooder. Gooder makes $25 active sunglasses for anyone. Listen, Craig, we live in the low country. We go on boats a lot or we're on the move a lot.

And I'm not always going to bring around a designer pair of sunglasses with me because I will lose them without fail. So it's important to have really good and durable sunglasses that look like designer glasses but aren't, right? And then what I do is I buy like four or so pairs of them so that I have a bunch just kind of sitting there on the

on my kitchen table so that when I leave the house, I just kind of pick a pair. And look, these sunglasses with names like it's all on the hips and flamingos on a booze cruise,

I know that you'll find a pair that speaks to you. Try them out and treat yourself to a pair or two. Goodr is going to give you 15% off your entire order. Go to goodr.com.

All right. Welcome back to this episode of Pillows and Beer. But hey, when we got back from the place we were eating where, you know, that guy should catch a case, basically, we turned on our TVs to see the kind of the case of the decade right now. I am so excited that you brought this up next because I was hoping that your mind was exactly where mine was. It was like, all right, let's go straight to this. Well, I mean, look, the thing is, is there have not been a lot of

live broadcasted or live televised, you know, court cases in the last decade. I mean, one of the last ones I remember watching is Casey Anthony. And that was what, 20 years ago. I don't even remember, but, but I know that OJ's was viewed by like 80 million people live or something crazy like, or, or, or like his verdict, you know, the verdict was viewed by 80 million people. So, so we're of course talking about Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.

And it's tough to not like it's tough to have it not have caught your eye. Right. I mean, this case is super public. And so, Craig, this is great that you know more about the law proceedings than I do. And so one of my main questions is why is the public privy to these court proceedings?

hearings? Like why are we able to and all of our listeners able to like know every detail and like watch the court case? I don't understand. Like it should be incredibly private, right? Well, yeah. And that's how most European countries do it. Now,

The idea behind it is basically this is how our court system was set up. And when everyone was considered, you know, basically innocent until proven guilty, we obviously know that's not the case these days. You know, people post something online and, you know, basically the first thing people read is what they believe a lot of times now. So these proceedings, you know, you can get them sealed. I mean, shit, the

The case that should have been the biggest one in the world to have ever been broadcasted is with the Maxwell lady, the child sex trafficking Maxwell lady. Let's talk about Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. You're talking about all these other crazy cases.

Well, here, it's hard not to have an opinion, right? No, of course. It's so tough to publicly have an opinion. Now, I will say this. I remember reading about this years ago when it first came out, and I had a bad feeling about it. I just did. We've all had...

You know, we've all lived through crazy experiences in our lives. And I will say most of the time or more times than not, it is the girl that's in, you know, a shitty relationship or shitty situation. But there are cases in which the girl's the crazy one.

And I remember reading about this years ago and just being like, I don't know if this tracks. I just don't know if this tracks. Yeah. And, you know, the even more terrifying thing is, and don't for, you know, like we're going to dive more into this. And don't for one second think that like, you know, Craig and I are just like, you know what? You know, the man is right and the woman. It is just that it's terrifying that the things that she said derailed his life and career so, so much.

And they were just allegations, right? They like, you know, we don't know if there's any fact to him or not. But, you know, all of a sudden he gets fired from like, you know, Pirates of the Caribbean. I mean, not that he didn't already make like a half a billion dollars on it. But like everything, right? And I'm sure he lost like a bunch of friends and credibility and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And it's all because...

of allegations and that is terrifying to think about and now to see the case and some things that are happening and especially the internet's in a reaction where it seems like the internet is 100 on johnny depp's side right and they're like this girl is off her rocker but yet she said something and johnny depp's career and life have been derailed i mean one of the things that he said

and and and i'm just going in right now one of the things that you know he said was that the lawyer asked him like what would you say that these allegations from mrs hurd have done to your life and he's and he pondered for a second and he said nothing short of everything and i was like damn well and obviously we don't we don't know you know what the truth is or what happened but i will say what i agree with what you're saying you know you can you can

Just words have consequences these days. And look, if he was guilty, I get, you know, that all of those things should have happened, but it's starting to look more and more like he wasn't and guilty enough to lose his, I mean, he was known as guilty.

as Jack Sparrow. He used to go to hospitals and children hospitals all the time as Jack Sparrow. He loved being Jack Sparrow. We loved him as Jack Sparrow and that's gone. And Disney screwed him. And that's the problem with like this cancel culture shit. Like they didn't even ask to find out what actually happened. They were like, Oh God, we got to get out of this. And now he was like, I'll never go back to that. And that's what sucks is like, he'll never be Jack Sparrow again.

And now years later, we're finally fleshing out what actually happened because he had to sue finally to clear his name. But he said, you know, his family, his friends, it's just, it's a shitty situation. And it's tough to have an opinion about anything these days without getting yelled at. But I mean, this is just, I'm looking at my phone right now, Austin, because look, federal cases cannot be televised. So.

Generally. So I am curious as to why they're allowing this to be televised. You're right that it should be kind of private. But also, I mean, I guess if neither side objects to it being televised, maybe they both were like, you know what? I want my side to be heard. And they're like, sure, you can let the cameras in. There's a difference between civil and criminal, though.

Yeah. But what I'm saying is, is like, if the judge does not, if the judge feels like it'll be a distraction in the courtroom, you know, they're not going to allow it. But, um, you know, court TV has cases all the time and they generally, it's usually just a state, you know, another, another thing about this case that is like alarming to me is that, um,

you know, he's on the stand. So it's like they have to act like they can ask him anything. Right. And so he's having to implicate famous, famous friends of his. Right. And it's like, if I was like Paul, you know, Bettany, I'd be like, Oh my God, like, why is my name getting brought up right now? You know, it's like,

It just sucks that it's like this case is affecting other people. As witnesses or code of, yeah, I wonder, usually that wouldn't be relevant, right? It would be, have you done cocaine? Like, yes, but it's not relevant if he's done it with other people unless they're trying to impeach their credibility. So are they like testifying in the case or were they deposed?

That's actually like a good question. And, and, and that, you know, is lawyer speak. And I, I,

I bet that they were deposed and that's the only reason that they could use names and such because Johnny Depp was texting Paul Bettany things like, oh, I'd kill her now and help you hide the body. Ha ha ha. And it's like, okay, like...

I don't think that anyone out there really thinks that they were going to kill her and hide the body, but those text messages are used. And that's just like, God, Craig, it makes me want to go back to like, I don't know, man, maybe we should talk in Dixie cups to each other so that nothing that we text each other can ever

can ever be used in anything. I guess crazy. The legalese you're right. If I wonder if he was like, dude, are we sure we really want to sue this girl? Like, right. Right. And be like, Austin, can we just let this go? Can I give you some money? Maybe I'll say sorry for her because sure. Sure, man. And it roped in, you know, and I've thought that I've only thought about suing one, one person in my life. And then literally I was like,

I was like, is this just going to make it worse? And like, for what? You know, to win like 10 grand? Like, I'm not doing it. It just opens the door to a lot of different things, especially as a public figure. That's why it is ballsy as shit what they're doing. And I will go and look at what...

what the judge had to say with it being televised because this shit is salacious. I mean, this is, they had a toxic relationship. I mean, you can't look anywhere, by the way, without there being like a, you know, Amber Heard poop meme. It's just like, gosh, it's just like,

And now for the next, I mean, obviously people forget things and they move on. That's what always happens. There's always something new and shiny to look at and focus at. But for the next however many years of her life, fans in public or anything might be like, oh shit, she shit the bed. It's just crazy, man.

Right, you're already getting sued for like 50 billion, 50 million. Wait, what? What's the law? He's suing her for... Oh, now he's suing her for the defamation.

No, yeah, that's this case. That's what they're doing. Johnny Depp is suing her for $30 million. He's the plaintiff and she's the defendant. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So she's being sued. He's probably like, you have prevented me from working on this project, this project, this project, and this project, and now you owe me what they would have paid me. Yeah, that. And then, you know, another case happening right now is Blac Chyna is suing Kris Kardashian. And I think the Kardashians as a whole and shit. Yeah.

I didn't realize how often these people get sued. Like Chris actually gets sued so much, like the company as a whole that she forgot what the litigation was at a point. She's like, wait, which one is this? Is this where China's suing like this or what? And then Kanye apparently said the same thing. He's deposed all the time.

And you just got to, and there's nothing off the, like, so depositions, they can ask you anything. In the court, you can't admit evidence that said, you know, certain things, but in depositions, they can ask you anything. And so in movies and TV. Is deposition the thing, the thing where like, like you show up with your lawyer and, and, and I show up with my lawyer and my lawyer, you know, asks you questions and you have to answer.

Yeah. And like when they say objection in movies and TVs, that's not right because you can't really object in the only objection you can have in a deposition is the form of a question, which it doesn't matter. So anyway, Chris was just like, I mean, they were asking her about like China, like stabbing Tyga. Then Kendall had to get where Kylie had to get deposed to be like, I saw the knife wound, like

Mo' money and mo' fucking problems, Craig. Yeah. When you open litigation, I mean, shit goes awry. But I do want to read. I think she was testifying today or tomorrow. I do want to read it more fully before having an opinion. But...

You know, I think the mistake here was she went and wrote about it. You know, she didn't keep it in house. And look, I'm not saying that girls should ever keep violence or bad things in house, but in a mutually like toxic relationship or something, you know, she wrote that tell all basically. And that's funny. That's funny that you say that, Craig. Yes. Why? Because that's not I guess that was a bit of the.

Yeah, it's a sticky situation or a sticky line, you know, thin line to walk on. No, I mean, look, like, you know, this all is, you know, and we just know what everyone else knows. I just do know that it's scary. Like, this Johnny Depp and Amber Heard case, it freaks me out. Like, it freaks me out. It's like you thought that she was seemingly just like a girl next door type person.

And then, you know, Johnny Depp is Johnny Depp. I mean, you know, did I think for one second that Johnny Depp wasn't partying like a rock star at certain points? Hell no. Like, you know, he just looks like the kind of guy that would party. But like, you know, so what? You know, unless... The only testimony that...

made me laugh I haven't seen that much of it but he was it was a situation and when she was yelling at him and throwing bottles over his head or next to his head and he was grabbing new bottles of vodka and pouring himself a shot but he like reenacted it in such a like somber way he'd be like so then I grabbed the

The smaller bottle of vodka put the glass, the shot glass out, poured myself of a shot of vodka, did shot of vodka. She grabbed that bottle, broke it against the wall. So I grabbed the bigger bottle of vodka, put the shot glass out, poured another shot. Like it was just like, it was so like soothing kind of to listen to this like crazy story. Well, Craig, I recently told you to watch

a movie that's on Netflix, right? About the making of a movie during COVID. And it's a comedy, of course. And it's not the best movie. I don't remember what it's called, but yeah. Okay. The bubble. And,

And it basically shows, you know, the actors and actresses going mad because they have to quarantine for like, you know, two weeks. And then they finally get out and someone gets COVID and they have to quarantine again. Anyway, the director is talking to like a producer and she's like, oh my God, I really like, you know, like these people. And he was like, don't.

They're all liars. It is their job to be professional liars. Do you understand? So when I see Johnny Depp talking, it's so soothing. But I'm like, he is an actor. Like, he knows how to act. And not saying that he's lying, but like, I mean, he's a really good actor, right? So he's probably...

acting his balls off like if he's ever gonna cry or if he's ever gonna act like emotional like this is what he is paid to do to act and to get you to believe his acting yeah i kind of want to see the jury that they both sides picked for this um because they're gonna have some stories after this um but hey let's take a quick commercial briary and break and we'll be right back

All right, welcome back to this episode of Pillows and Beer. We're back in Charleston for the week. For a couple days, I'm here with Austin Kroll and our buddy Nick Norris. Nick is still in Chicago. How funny is that? He never came back. He was like, I'm never leaving. Wait, that's actually pretty cool. What are you doing? Nick is still in Chicago. Drinking, seeing museums, seeing the sights, all that kind of fun stuff, eating food, enjoying life.

I didn't hear a single thing that you said. His audio is terrible today, but I guess he had to deal with us like that for a long time.

I've seen everyone else. But Hey, we got some emails about a Springer update. And this is great. This is great because, well, because we got some emails being like Maury was legit, but we want to know more. So if you've been on Maury, please call in. Okay. Like that captivates me. So I'm stoked for this. I know. I feel like you're a pro Springer guy. I was pro Maury. Um,

Okay, this says, I was just listening to your last couple weeks of podcast episodes. I can also attest that the Jerry Springer show is performative. My dad is a retired police chief, and he arrested a lady multiple times from our town who was on the Jerry Springer show. Like the other person who wrote in, she said she was paid and the show is scripted.

Now, I mean, you are saying that your dad arrested this girl multiple times, though. So, I mean, I don't know how good of an actor or actress she was. I mean, look, you can be paid to come on and reveal yourself. Like, obviously, you deserve a day rate for that. But yeah, like, I don't think that she came on and memorized some sort of script. Right. They gave her some hard bullet points and were like, just act like.

Just, just act out girl, you know, or something. And she's like, all right, you know, for 1500 bucks or 5,000 bucks. I mean, obviously I have no idea who, who this woman is, but you know, I just, I just kind of gave her like an accent, you know, for, for like no reason. Cause that's Southern stripper is what Austin is. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, how much, and what do I got to do? I don't do any of that funny business. You're like, no, no, no, no. Just come on to Jerry Springer. And, uh,

But then the other one says, act a fool. It said, I worked with this girl at a strip club for a couple of years and I had seen her on the show too. It is legit. Oh, I was listening to this week's podcast, heard them read my email. I said, I worked with this girl at a strip club for a couple of years and seen her on the show too. And it is legit. I'm sure it's a- I love those contradicting emails. Like those contradicting hot takes where

One says it's completely scripted. I mean, I bet that you could find that too, Craig, about like, you know, our show, right? Like, you know, there are fans out there like, no, no, no, no. I'm second cousins once removed from somebody who used to be on Southern Charm or, you know, insert show here. And they said, right? And then you talked about. So that makes me laugh, Craig, because once again, this is like,

OG reality TV. That's what Springer and Morty is. Anyway, I was reading these questions and one is about a plane crash and it sucks because that plane in China just went down. So our condolences and thoughts to those families. But again, just like some of the recent plane crashes, it doesn't make any sense. If you've read like the flight data on it, it went from like 27,000 feet to

nosedive to the planet, like to the earth in like 45 seconds or something crazy. Okay. And where was this plane headed? It was in China. It was in the like, and so pull it up. So basically planes don't just nosedive like that unless they're shot out of the sky or if there's a bomb, but apparently the flight data right now,

it shows that when it hit 10,000 feet, the pilots were able to like level off for a second. And then it just nosedive the last 10,000 feet, which means apparently it was intact when it crashed. I don't know. But anyway, this question is basically saying indifferent. If the crew on the plane for some reason were like poisoned. So the pilots and the crew just like died or passed out. Would you panic?

try and fly the plane or jump out with a parachute? - Okay, so this is an interesting question, not what I thought that we were gonna be answering, but it is interesting because even when I have turbulence on an airplane,

I'm like, I'm gripping on to the thing and I'm like, oh my gosh, like if, like if this is it, just, just make, make peace. This is your time. But I feel like, and like, I would want to think that because you can't do anything else. I mean, Craig, it's not like under every seat is, is like a parachute. Right. Right. So like I would,

Try to fly the damn plane. I mean, I would pull up on those damn things. I'd put on the headphones and be like, someone tell me what to do. Right. Yeah. Pull up on the sticks or the whatever you call it and just try to level it out. I don't know, man. You know, I don't know. Yeah. I mean, that's the way we're going down. So might as well try to fly the damn thing if I can.

I mean, that's the answer. And you try to establish a communication with ground control. I mean, I've talked to my uncle about this. There's a lot of planes out there that basically, but they're usually smaller private planes that can land on autopilot. But these big commercial liners really can't. But

you know, I think I asked him a couple of years, this question, and he was like, it would just be very difficult for anyone who's never landed a plane to successfully do it. But you could give yourself a shot. Like we all grew up playing video games. I know it is nothing like that, but I mean, at least you could give the plane a shot and like come crash landing into like a field or the airport or something. I mean, you got to have hope that you'd be able to do it. Well, you got to have hope. I mean, you know, it's,

it sucks to say this, but like, it goes back to nine 11. It's like the people on that flight were like, look, we're not just going to go down. Right. As like, now you're sitting here. Like we have heard that this has happened and this has happened. And then they tried to overtake the plane. And I mean, at a certain point, you're like, what am I going to do? Just like sit, sit here like a sheep. Or am I going to like try to fricking fly this thing? Exactly. I just, I was qualified. Yeah.

No, but we would jump into action. Neither is anyone else. Neither is anyone else qualified, unless you are. And that's the perfect scenario. Well, like on Flight 93, or United 93, which was, like, you know, I bawled my eyes out in it, obviously, because the endings, you know, it's just so emotional. He gets a phone call to his wife, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Oh, that's when I lost it, yeah. I just got the chills when he said that. He's like, honey, there's been, like, a hijacking, but I love you. Tell my parents I love you. Like, let's go. Let's roll. He said, let's roll. Yeah.

And, you know, they handled it great. Like they got it open and then it was just too late, but they had a pilot with them. So hopefully there's a pilot and hopefully none of us ever have to deal with that. Jesus. We, Paige and I just had a white knuckle landing the other day and I was trying to keep it together for her. I was on the aisle seat, but my entire arm was wrapped around my armrest and I was just like,

squeeze i mean we dropped at one point for like three seconds which doesn't sound like a long time but usually when you hit those big air pockets like you drop for a split second i mean it was three seconds and you're like are we going down right now but yeah flying through storms is no fun um

That was enough that I was like, I don't want to get on a plane for, Oh, we were flying from Detroit to Charleston. And I was just like, I, I, this is getting to the point where I'm fine. Apparently another survival question. How would you go about surviving a zombie apocalypse? Yeah. I'm reading this right now. Here's the thing, man. Here's the thing. Like if I had like a bat,

And like, you know, nails in a bat and things like that. Like, I certainly could fend off a shit ton of zombies. Now, I'm not sure, Craig. I mean, let's just call a spade a spade. If like the water were to go off and like my power, you know, were to go off, I'm dead. I'm dead. Like, I'm not equipped to go into nature and like build like a lean-to and survive. Like, I'm...

I'm dead. But I could certainly crack some zombie skulls before that time happened, that's for sure. Yeah, I mean, look. Here's the thing. There's... Hold on one second. So, Zombieland is amazing. And if we could live in Zombieland for that period of time, it would be so cool. I mean, they just like...

That's how it should be handled. Like running over people with snow plows and like machine guns. You know what movie I'm talking about? Yeah, with Woody.

And yeah, Jesse Eisenberg. And Emma. Emma something. But the truth is that there's no sense of community in our country anymore. And what I mean by that is when I was in the Bahamas, if shit went down, the whole island would have come together and worked together to protect themselves from outsiders. And you would have shared resources and worked together as a team. I have a feeling in our country, I mean...

Like it's going to be neighbor versus neighbor. Maybe you have a friend, maybe you have a couple of neighbors, but if shit hits a fan in this country, we're all going to be our own worst enemies. So I'd probably try to make my way to like Key West and make friends and just be like, I would like to talk to you about one of our sponsors, Timeline Nutrition and one product in particular, Mito Pure. Mito Pure is one of the first products to offer a precise dose of urolithin A to help upgrade your mitochondrial function, help increase cellular energy,

and help improve muscle strength and endurance. I've started taking it recently and have started to tell that there is a definite risk when I work out or am active, but might appear does more than just help with my muscle health.

it can help with health stand as well. I want to be one of those granddads one day that you see in the video of him swinging his grandkid around. I want to rely on myself for as long as I possibly can. One way to think of MitoPure is that they are in your cells, chomping up the damaged mitochondria that makes you feel old and tired and helping to recycle it into new healthy ones.

Mitochondria, our cell's power generators, are one of the key influences in how we age. However, as the years pass, mitochondrial efficiency naturally declines, representing a large gap in the quality of life we expect in our later years and the one we experience.

Taking two soft gels a day for two months and you could see significant improvements in your cellular energy, muscle strength, and endurance. After four months of taking Mito Pure, you might feel yourself getting stronger, recovering faster after a workout, and experiencing less inflammation, all part of your healthier aging routine, which is honestly amazing.

drink daiquiris and just chill yeah until our supply runs out yeah i mean you know if it's like the end of days which we've answered this question before of like you know what what what we would do if it was like our last day on earth right this is um i mean the zombie apocalypse one i know that everyone out there thought about it because we've seen so many shows with zombies and whatnot so

I mean, realistically, I don't, I don't, I don't really know how to shoot guns. Like, I mean, I've shot them before, but like, I don't own guns and that's for a very good reason. And like, you know, if someone was like, okay, kid or kid, I'm not a,

Okay, kid. All right, man. Here's like an assault rifle. You know, defend yourself. I'd be like, what in God's name am I going to do with this? Well, you would figure it out. I think that's why I want like a boat in my backyard because that's what I would want. I would go like hijack someone's yacht

and just live on the yacht and search for petrol, I guess. I don't know. Or we get an RV. You need food, and that's where all these, that's like what happens with all these movies, right? Everything's going well. Everything's going well. Oh, wait, we need more supplies. Who wants to go to town? Oh, my God. You just brought one back with you on the boat to this whole area that was uninhabited by zombies, and now you brought one back here? Thank you for ruining everything.

Yeah, that's true. Like the point of every single. I think we'd have a small group and we just like find the middle of nowhere and try to chill. But I think my ideal situation is living on a island or a big boat. And I guess you just fish and hope the zombies can't swim. But you're right. It's going to take one other boat to show up and you have to decide whether to kill them or to let them on the island. And if you choose wrong, I mean, you're screwed.

I know. And kind of like what you said, people are turning on other people. It's like, I don't know you, you cannot come here. I'm sorry. Yeah. Go find your own Island, dude. I mean, that's, that's yeah. Well, people turn into savages, Craig. Well, listen guys. So check us out on our Instagrams, follow Austin's beer company and his personal beers. Yeah.

So we started during quarantine on Instagram Lives, and now we get to do it in front of all of you. I mean, that's basically it. I mean, it's basically just...

an amazing time for Craig and I to be able to interact with as many of you as possible get as many of you laughing to take as many pictures to have as much fun to do all of the things and honestly like like what what is fueling me at the moment Craig I'm like this is what I want to focus on at the moment with so much outside noise happening I want to focus on
