I would like to talk to you about one of our sponsors, Timeline Nutrition, and one product in particular, MitoPure. MitoPure 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 definitely when I work out or I'm active. But MitoPure 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.

Timeline is offering 10% off your first order of Mito Pure. Go to timeline.com slash pillowsandbeer. That's T-I-M-E-L-I-N-E dot com slash pillowsandbeer.

What's up besties and welcome to this week's episode of Pillows and Beer. I am joined as always by Mr. Craig Conover, Mr. Nick Norris. Craig seems to be sitting on Paige's couch. Are you in New York, Craig? Yep. And I'm sitting in my office here in Charleston and we all know where Nick is. He's sitting over a pot still making a nice piping batch of moonshine.

Yeah, we never really know where he is, but somewhere he's doing that. What's up, guys? How are we doing? We are growing ever closer to Christmas. And, oh my God, it's the 18th. Christmas is officially one week today. So, I mean...

I guess the very first thing that I want to ask is how is everyone's Christmas shopping going? Do you have any last-minute gifts that you got to grab, Craig and or Nick? What's the Christmas update? I'm in a better place this year than I think I ever have, honestly.

This is still pretty early for me. Even if I started today, like a week before Christmas, it would be earlier than most years. Yeah. I've got, yeah, I've got, I'm really excited because I came up with a present for my dad that I never know what to get him. Oh man, shopping for dads are tough. You would think that it wouldn't be, but...

Yeah. Hopefully he doesn't listen to this. I don't think he does. I mean, they would, if they knew where it was. I don't even know if my parents know we have a podcast. No, they know. Yeah. They know because of the tour. So my dad is on a really good softball team. They play in like the grand majors or whatever, like the old, old guys leagues. Nice. And yeah,

you know it's always awesome when someone shows up with like a sick bat because it's just not something that you like buy on your own but it's cool to have one and so I was like you know what I'll buy my dad like the best softball bat I can find for him and his team because like I just don't think it's something that he would buy you know he's like whatever that's cool but like I can hit the ball just as well with another one so

One of the guys, Brian Snead from Hope for the Warriors, they're like World Series champions in softball. And I texted him and I was like, hey, what's the best softball bat? So I got my dad a softball bat. That's something that I was not on my bingo card for Craig to buy for his dad for Christmas. Yeah.

Nick, any like off the wall gifts that you've had to buy or, you know, what percentage of Christmas shopping, you know, done are you? I'm 95% done.

but I got to get my sister one more thing and probably my dad one more thing because I had to do something fun for that because I got I ended up just getting him like a Manscaped beard trimmer because he keeps saying he needs a good beard trimmer so it's like that's easy you know but my my middle sister she's the toughest to shout for because she's like I just I just get everything for myself I'm just like no no I need to get something well I mean that's what happens right so my dad I remember you know one year

I was like, all right, I'm not buying him like, you know, the Fitbit. And like, I'm not going to buy him that. So I'm not going to buy him that because if he needs it and he wants it, then he'll buy it like himself, which he always does. And so I went with almost like a gaggy gift, you know, Christmas. And he basically ended up

Regifting them all to me. And I was like, well, I don't know what to do here, dad. So I'm buying gifts. You regifted your gift to you? Like, for instance, I got him like a Caddyshack ornament a couple of years ago. It's it was with Rodney Dangerfield and you press the button and certain phrases and

you know he's like come on while we're young and things like that and i was like oh you know that would be funny to put on the tree and the next year he gave it to me i mean not as like a gift but he was like hey austin like i think that you know you should take this home for your tree and i was like okay dad like why did i even try so um i mean obviously nick do not make make this portion uh of the podcast our clip that you post but um

I'm trying to buy my dad like experiences, you know, and things that forced us to be together. So I'm not going to say what, you know, it is just, you know, for fear of it, you know, my sister hearing about it or something, which is, you guys already told us on here. No, did I? Is it the, uh,

Across the coast? Yes. Yeah. Did I already say it? Yeah. So, but like, but, but now that I've done that, right. So basically he's going to open like an envelope. Right. And I feel bad, man, because Christmas is supposed to be like, you know, it's about watching the other person in the unit and open up some gifts, no matter how big or small that they are. Get him like a dozen Pro V1s and put the envelope with that or something then. I did. Yeah.

I did. I got the emblem of the golf ball. Yeah, there you go. My mom's not. She likes, she'll always have like a new collectible that she likes. Like it used to be Longenberger, which was like a big company that made baskets and pottery. Now it's McKenzie Childs. And McKenzie Childs always has like

new stuff. So it's like a kitchen company. What did you get Christopher? That's the tough one. I haven't got him anything yet. So I like... Yeah, it's not like... So Christopher likes...

Like nice, like Christopher likes and would never buy for himself like dressier clothes. So like I remember getting him like a cool peacoat one year and I saw him wear it like all the fucking time. So I think I'm going to get him sneakers, like some cool.

Nike's, I think he likes that. But maybe like a cool coat or two or something like that. That's what I do. That's a good idea, man. We used to get each other sunglasses and hats. So like gear, like swag. I'm going to try to get them swag.

Giving your siblings gifts is always better than your parents doing it because you know what you would wear and you know what they would wear or think was cool and something that your parents wouldn't think of to gift because try as they might. My mom's like, oh, here's that sweater. I'm like, okay, mom, thanks. But you and Katie will gift me dope ass shoes and things like that too.

Katie makes just like a detailed list of what she wants. And on one hand, it's awesome. And on the other hand, it's like, oh, well now like you've taken away all of the intrigue of, you know, what I'm going to give you. My brother makes a list for my parents. It's basically like a shopping list, but like to him, that's like wonderful. And for my mom, it makes her life so easy. She's completely given up on me because I haven't asked for anything and probably never

eight years. My mom was telling me on the phone because of that. I was like, it's just fun when you shop for me, mom. It is what it is. Just whatever you find me. That's actually...

what I do as well. I don't ask for anything in specific, right? Because I'm like, well, I feel bad if I'm going to ask you for like, I don't know, like a pair of headphones or something, you know, it's expensive. And I'm like, you know, whatever, mom, it's always good. But this year, I actually, throughout the year, I probably began to make a list in like, you know, June of just like random shit, you know, random shit. And so when she finally asked me like a couple of weeks ago, I'm

I pulled it up and I was like, this list is so dumb that I have made, you know, throughout the year. Cause I was like, all right, let's see what Austin's put on his list throughout the year. So I told her a couple of things. I told her a couple of things. Well, a couple of pictures that I've had kind of just been lying around. I was, she like loves to get things framed, you know, shows gives me like a framed picture of the family or framed picture of me and my sister. And so they gave her a couple of other things to get framed.

you know, I just gave it to her a while back and then it'll, it'll just pop up on Christmas morning kind of thing. Let's see what else I have in my list. I have a list for everyone else. So yeah, I, I have a list, you know, for everyone else. And then I'm crossing it off as I went. I, I put the noise canceling Bose headphones because I bought it for Katie last year and she wears it like, you know, every single day. And I know that you,

love yours craig and i need those for the airplane i have a couple of framed posters me and the fam went went to moulin rouge when we were uh in paris and we bought the like you know souvenir pamphlet and so i think that my mom's gonna get that framed i want a drink tray for my bar you know just random things like that just random things i asked um

My list for Paige is a little better. I forget. I asked for... She was like, just ask for something. So I said, okay, an espresso maker is what I really want. That's like my big... Like a fancy one? Yeah, not a built-in because you have to build it in when you're building your house. But like a pretty...

Well, the one that she wouldn't mind being on our counter, but like I even at her, she thinks it's so funny at the apartment building here. I go downstairs and make an espresso in the little like coffee station that they have in the lobby. And I'm just really into espresso coffee.

and lattes um always always into amenities but jerry and alexis had one that they got for their wedding and it was so simple and easy and i was like this is sick so i want that and i want a clone like i want a fan like i want to graduate from my college clone into an adult clone

The thing with cologne for me, I have five fricking bottles upstairs, Craig, five bottles. And I don't think that I'll ever go through it all. I mean, if I put on like a nice outfit, like a, you know, like it's one spritz, right. And like, I walked through it and I'm,

Man, cologne just lasts me a lifetime. It lasts me a lifetime. See, I like them and we give so many hugs out and meet so many people that I always want to smell good. I used to put on cologne wrong. I didn't learn until like...

so you're supposed to put it on your bare skin when you get out of the shower. I used to put it on my clothes. Like I would put it right here. Wesley at Thanksgiving had this like Tom Ford. So Wesley's one of our old producers, Tom Ford. And he's like, Craig, you should definitely use this. So he brought it downstairs and like, we tried it out and it like just wasn't a fit, you know? And so I'm asking for that. What did it smell like? Craig did like, it smelled like an old, you know,

distinguished gentleman from london it was too i think the consensus was it was a little too feminine for me um like see that's shocking because you know like i mean yeah that's shocking no offense no like i feel like you know that would be like your bread and butter is like uh um yeah

It just didn't smell like me and like whatever it was. So it's because I've always used Victoria's secret, which people think is like, I've always used Victoria's secret for him. Like they make them a male clone. Very sexy for him. It smells wonderful. It's so old that it's discontinued. No, I got like, yeah. Cologne man. But I go through that. That's not tough.

Yeah. So, I mean, so, I mean, I'm sure that page is on the case. Well, hopefully she's actually like try. Yeah. Put some, um, so I have her presence taken care of. She was the first, she was easier because I like write it down. Not the Johnny Cash, uh, not the Johnny Cash picture all over again. That's still the best.

I mean, dude, I'm not going to lie to you. That was thoughtful. Like, it really was, you know? I need to... There has to be an equivalent this year, though, of like something random that she asked for in the year. Yeah. I do have to get another Johnny Cash. And then... Making a list, man. Making a list throughout the year is really, really helpful for me, actually. Like, I began to make this list in the summertime. And then when I finally began to look at it,

Like Thanksgiving. I was like, oh, perfect. I can knock out this and this. Christopher actually likes sewing down South stuff. And I'm like, dude, you can have whatever you want, but he will not ask me for stuff. So yeah, I'm going to give, I'm going to give my mom and sister some, some stuff from a STS. I have some candles already for them. I always give them your candles for Christmas. Thank you. All right. We'll take a quick break and we'll be right back.

Let's talk about microdosing. You know that just right feeling when your body and mind are really at peace? Like after a workout or a nice long shower where you're relaxed, focused, and a little energized? Being in the zone? Well, microdosing can help you get into that zone easier and stay there longer. Honestly, Craig.

I wasn't big into eating like a whole bunch of, you know, milligrams of something because it makes me too. So I like to microdose like very tiny. It really, really does help to take the edge off. I mean, anxiety, just, you know, being inside my own head with all these thoughts and all the things that are happening and ah, it's tough season. So microdosing for me has been very, very helpful. It helps me to take off the edge, not to mention it helps me to fall asleep.

and to stay asleep rather than waking up with those intrusive thoughts. It helps me to just sleep well and comfortably.

Nick, what are you giving your family?

I don't know. I just go out and buy a bunch of stuff. I bought my mom four things that she probably won't like because she's the worst to shop for. My sister's... Four things that she probably won't like. I brought my sister some coffee maker stuff because she's got a small apartment and she wanted something different, I guess. I got her some coffee and makeup, that kind of thing. And then the other sister, a book. And then I got to figure out what to get her. She's impossible. I might just go to...

get her like a comfy, like lounge set or something. Well, when you say makeup and that, and that kind of thing, I mean, I hope that you know what you were doing. Cause you don't just like buy random ass makeup for people. I went to Sephora and I, and I literally talked to everyone at the store and I got her like some nice, she's a climber. So I got her some nice, like moisturizing for her hands and stuff. Okay. Okay. Okay. Well, that's nice because I don't think. It's such a random, random thing. I love that you have a sister who's a climber.

Big time, big rock climber. Yeah, which goes to the fact that you live somewhere in the mountains. She's in Chattanooga. She has to climb up to the still that you guys have. She has to climb up to the pot still to check on the batch of shine. Dude, the girl thing is tough. So I went a little overboard with, I went to Gwen's and they always have the

the wish list on the tree so you can adopt like people for christmas and i pulled three of them because i thought they were only one sheet but they were actually like three sheets so like my church used to do it so you can adopt a child for like christmas or something so i pulled three of course by the time i like looked at them to get excited for shopping it was like the due date's december 13th and i was reading them on december 13th and i was like

Well, Hayward, I need you to call someone and be like, we are going to take care of these people, but it will not be for a couple of days.

And I didn't realize that this year they're doing it with hospice. So it's like the kid's first year without a, after losing a parent. So obviously I was like on the plane and I was like, I'm buying you everything. The one girl has like a, an hour and a half bus ride every morning and is cold and was asking for like mittens for the bus. And I was like, I'm buying you everything. But there was a point to this.

uh oh but they wanted like makeup and jewelry and stuff so fortunately paige helped me but with amazon you can buy anything and it just gets shipped right to your door or target pickup but i saw that one of you shares an amazon account with

Yes, our family has a sole Amazon account just because it's easier that way. Me too, by the way. It's just like you can't buy gifts off of it because everybody knows what's getting delivered. How do you buy sex toys on Amazon if you guys all share an account? I've already loaded up on that. I don't need that. Don't do that. You have to go buy your sex toys in person. I've always wanted to go to one of those stores. It's Amazon. Amazon is a...

I've never been to an actual like store. No, no. They're awesome. The one here is called ultimate bliss. Amazon's the biggest sex store in the world, but you'd have to get your parents and your sisters. Yeah. Wait, wait, man. We had a, we, we had someone on here send us Craig, a whole bunch of sex toys. Remember, dude, I got a box with like, you know, eight things in it, but that was back when we first began the podcast. Um,

Yeah, it sat in my living room for a while. For a while. And then I busted into it. In my giveaway pile. Yeah, you're like, hey, would you like a suction master 3000? I think you can hide orders and stuff, but it's tough. Because I used to have an account with my family too, and I don't anymore.

- I think as a 30. - I have a share account. - You guys are in your thirties, you know that, right? - I'm 29 by the way, Craig. - Yeah, well, aren't you on the family plan, Craig? Don't you shame me. - You're a bitch about your brother throwing you off the phone plan. - That's a little different than Amazon. - How is that different?

Why would I get my own when he's got one? Who all out there shares an Amazon Prime account with their family? I bet lots and lots of people. I mean, you only need one to be, you know, Amazon Prime. And then you have the Prime video. And kind of like you said, which you're the one that told me this.

That rather than renting the movie, you should buy the movie because when you buy the movie on Amazon Prime, then the whole family has it. And so that's what we are. So we're all logged in on one. And yes, when something gets ordered. Yeah, shit. I hope Kitty didn't see what I ordered her. I think that she would have said something. Dude, so finally trying to get into the holiday spirit, which guys, this shows you how weird this is.

I remember one time, like in college, the big thing was like, imagine one day when Craig's like a pothead and fat, like all my college friends, all they wanted was for me one day to get fat, you know, for like me to show up at a reunion and be like, oh, look at Craig, he got fat. He's a pothead now.

Point of that is who thought we'd get to a December in our lives where I wasn't in the Christmas spirit and wasn't watching movies. And I don't understand this feeling. I don't get it. But like I have a six and a half hour flight today. And I'm like, I should watch Christmas movies. Like being in the airport makes me feel Christmassy. But the New York airport.

airports aren't that decorated but like we watched daddy's home too that was our christmas movie rate that out of 10 right now craig for me yeah like six to seven really you give it a seven give it a six and a half you know you know that uh our our good friend dulane craig he reached out to me the other day and he said thanks a lot man and i said what and he said

because of what you and Craig talked about on Pillows and Beer, I just had to watch the worst Christmas movie ever. And I was like, what? What, man? What was it? And he was like, fucking Candy Cane Lane, man. And I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. And I was like, but what I said was that Candy Cane Lane was better than the Christmas Switch. And then he was like, I don't know, man, but whatever that I just watched.

was not good and I just started laughing out loud I was like I'm sorry for all those dudes out there who were just forced to watch a subpar Christmas movie but I mean it's Christmas that you'd like you know you kind of just watch I tell you we watched the Family Stone because I thought it was a different movie and I had no idea what was coming for me and Paige the whole time was like I'm really surprised that you have to watch the movie Craig yeah I am too

That is not a Craig movie. She fast forward through one of the sad parts, I guess, when I was in the bathroom.

That's that that is like a love actually kind of kind of movie, you know, there's like a lot of things going on and not all of it's happy. That's for sure. Well, what I which I was proud of myself at the end that I got through it. I thought it was the movie where the mom and the daughter have the same bully like the daughter's bully is dating her brother when she comes home for Christmas and that girl's mom comes to visit to and is bored. What movie is that? I don't I don't remember.

Nick, you want to do a little Google search? I just made someone watch Die Hard for the first time. And I know that that's been like a funny little debate that's happened throughout the years where it's even made it to like our parents' age, Craig, where my dad asked me one year, he was like, do you think that Die Hard is a Christmas movie?

And so it was playing last night and we watched Die Hard. And I mean, that's a pretty good poll. Nick, what do you think? Is it a Christmas movie or not? - It is a movie that takes place around Christmas. So yes, it is a Christmas movie. - It is a movie that takes place around Christmas. I mean, at a Christmas party, but it's an action movie. I am gonna say there are lots of Christmas decorations.

But I mean, as much as like, I want to be like a man's man on this one and be like, hell yeah, man. Die Hard is a Christmas movie. I am going to say no, it is not a Christmas movie. I don't think I've ever watched it start to finish. Really? Yeah. It's like a classic. I did watch Fred Claus though, because Fred Claus I really like. Okay. Rate it.

oh that's an eight for me yeah that's an eight for me too i i'm a fan of fred claus because the ending when when he finally talks to kevin spacey four-eyed clyde like it gets me every time i'm like the magic of santa yeah i've i've been in the christmas mood man since the day after thanksgiving craig and and i think it's just because i'm on the move i haven't you you've been particularly on the move

but surprisingly new york isn't as decorated as you'd think i did get to go by like the sax fifth avenue and dior like pop-up which was cool like i drove by it but um are you gonna go to the tree at all or no like that's just not a thing that you even want to be you know near no christian well my brother and his fiance were here the other day but we didn't get a chance to see him for one reason or the other but i walked by it when it first went up

during the day a long time ago but like two weeks ago or something a long time ago i like bryant park but geez craig man you you are not in the spirit you are not in the spirit what are you gonna do on on this flight today i i like really want you to watch like

i don't know man the holiday and like miracle on 34th or like whatever your favorite movies are yeah i know i have to i have to uh because then i think when i land in delaware i will be but um that's only gives me a couple days to celebrate i always like i said i always wanted to be the guy that traveled during the holidays and now i don't like i did it i i did it and now i don't yeah um

But it's okay. Let's, while I try to find my heart that's missing, let's take a quick commercial break.

And he took or like leading in the polls and he took a second and he just looked at him. He said, polls are wrong. Or like the polls are wrong, buddy. And got in his car. And I just wasn't expecting that at all. I just think the political world is like more. It's basically the new Bravo. So you got hit by a car today. He did not get hit by a car. Don't let limo got hit by a car. No, his fricking motorcade, a car hit.

another vehicle in his motorcade. They don't know for sure. I tried to discern that part, Craig, and I think that it was not on purpose. Because the guy's hands in the car were like, whoa, bro shit. Can you imagine calling your insurance company and going, you hit who? No, I mean, imagine trying not to get shot in that moment. No, no, definitely. Right. I mean, the dude's lucky that he didn't get lit up like a Christmas tree.

Merry Christmas. When you see that clip, like completely bipartisan, it's just how we would have reacted in college. Being like, how do you feel that Sig Epps leading in the polls? Polls are bullshit, buddy.

Polls are wrong, pal. Yeah, polls are wrong, pal. Why don't you say it to my face, guy? Were you there in Charleston for the flooding? Yeah, I mean, if any of the besties out there are aware of the Charleston floods that happened yesterday, I mean, it's kind of like a common occurrence here in Charleston. So every time that it rains heavily, it floods. But this flood was...

I mean, I think that I saw something where like in some areas it was like nine, nine, like 9.6 feet of, you know, water. It was the fourth highest tide in history. Really? Okay. So I, um,

So my house is up and it does not float up here. But if like you walk on my front porch and look right, I mean, there was like, you know, three and a half feet of water. And I mean, cars were going crazy. And it made me laugh a little bit because I was looking at it. And I just watched that movie, Julia Roberts, that just came out on Netflix about our society crumbling because of

anyway so i'm not going to get on that tangent but i kind of saw it oh my god the trailer is a little scary yeah you should watch it i mean basically what you find uh yeah so because when i walked in the room i was like this is basically what's happening right now no no that's why it's that's why it's terrifying craig because i was like holy shit like this is gonna happen

And like the underlying message is that if you cyber attack a country that is already so fucking divided, then the country will just, you know, tear itself apart from the inside. And then they're like read day after tomorrow. Yes. What it's all about. Basically that's like the premise of the movie is that, you know, there are people that are like, Oh man, it's the, you know, it's the Chinese, you know? And then other people are like, no, it's not. It's, it's,

you know i mean the the the you know middle east and basically like they're trying to make us just divide ourselves and that is exactly what happens to people just go into panic and pandemonium and the question divides itself a big country has to do is shut down our infrastructure and we will turn on ourselves and we will turn ourselves so that's what we need

And yes. And I look outside and these cars are just freaking honking at each other. And man, one car's like, I'm trying to back up because I'm not driving through there. And then the car behind him is like, just drive through pussy. And you're like, oh my God. And so people like are backing up. And then, and then the car that said, just drive through got stuck in the middle of the water. And I was like, that is instant karma. And then I sent you the video, Craig, of, of a truck. I have,

having to go in slowly and push him through and pushed another guy through and cars were just even turning around and honking at each other all day. And I'm like, this is from one road being shut down. Like, and already people are like, you know, yelling at each other, fucking turning on each other. I mean, imagine if our internet and cable and all those things, like,

like were knocked out and then flyers were littered along, you know, the East side of Charleston with like, you mean Chinese stuff. And on the West side of Charleston with, you know,

like Iranian you know if I can G Jihad and then it's like oh man it's all ending and that's literally it would not take much and it terrified me so it's gonna happen yeah I saw people are driving like the wrong way on their bridges exactly dude they just made it up too they're like well I think that we're gonna go the wrong way on the bridge because this side's flooded you're like no one said that you could do that well that's because you get to that point

I'm not asking for permission anymore. I'm just going to do it. And wait, so when that family shows up and they say like, I live here, why did both families think that they lived in that house? No, no, no. Julie Roberts' family was renting the house. They like rented it on- Yeah, it was an Airbnb. Airbnb. And then the family that showed up was like,

we like we were at the opera and then there were blackouts so rather than going to our apartment in the city we decided to come out here in the country until we figure out what's going on and then you kind of find out later on that like he has some more knowledge on it and then yeah you know so julie roberts is obviously like you know i mean she's very wary she's like what the hell is going on and uh and then you know you you kind of learn more and more and more and then you're like

When it's done, you're like, holy shit, this is going to happen in like six months. Yeah. Should I watch it on the plane or will I get too fired up? No, watch a Christmas movie, Craig. No, Craig. I think that you should watch it. I think that you should watch it, but then go right into a Christmas movie. Okay. That's what I think should happen. All right. I don't have much time. Yeah, I think we're – why don't you just read one question and we'll do it and then close out. Okay. Oh, my God. Okay. This is a good one.

What is the best way to tell my dad that I hate his girlfriend? They've probably been dating six or seven months now. The best way to describe her would be the girlfriend in the parent trap. She's youngish, rich, snobby, and attractive. Unfortunately, I do not have a newfound twin to torture her with my mom, with...

And my mom has been remarried for 10 years now. So no reset up either. So what should I do? Because she absolutely sucks. Oh, and my dad turned me onto the podcast. So I hope he knows I am talking about him. That's amazing. Wow. That was like a Lindsay Lohan ish move in the new age. We're going to turn our like dad onto the podcast and let him dad on one instance,

Shout out for being just an animal. I can picture, I have a friend like this and a friend's dad is just like this and he dates animals.

half his age. And I have a feeling that anything that you tell your dad, he would not be surprised to hear. I don't think he probably thinks that you love his new girlfriend. What was the girl's name? I'm trying to find the girl's name. The actress's name is Elaine Hendricks, but the woman, because I swear that I just saw something where it was like justice for

Right. And it was like, she's, she's just like a young hot girl. Who's like trying to marry this guy that owns, you know, there's a vineyard. And then these two little girls just make, get in our way. And it's fucking. Yeah. Meredith Blake. Meredith. Yeah. Yeah.

And I feel like there was recently, you know, in the past five or so years, like a thing that was going around where it was like justice for Meredith Blake. It was like, she didn't do anything wrong. She was just trying to marry this fucking handsome dude who owns a vineyard. And then these two little girls just ruin her plans. I would say just guy to guy, like you take them golfing or something and be like, look, man, like I love you to death. And I getting,

getting to the age where I want to spend more and more time with you, but I have to tell you my feelings on this and like, take it or leave it. Like, like it's not going to ruin our relationship. At least I hope it doesn't, but I at least have to get this off my chest. Like, I don't like this girl. She sucks. I just reread the question and we don't know if, if the question is written by a male or female.

Paige said cut to Austin having that convo with Craig one day. Later today. Verbatim. Craig, I really don't want this to get in the way of us, but I hate your girlfriend. So, buddy...

This is the parent trap situation, but they've been dating for seven months. I thought this was just going to be a fun thing for you, but now she's like, looks like she's not going anywhere. And I just want you to know that I do not like her, but she stops being a bitch. I wonder how old that's the person who wrote in the question is because yeah, I'm just curious.

Yeah, it was a DM. It wasn't an email. I have to go back and find it. I think that it's very important. And I feel like, geez, I mean, it's your dad, right? You know, which means that like you have to see this woman all the time. And like, it's a big part of your life on Christmas and your birthdays and all of the holidays and family gatherings. And that's huge. But this also goes for anyone out there who has just like a best friend that is about to, you know, like is dating a guy that, you know, they hate or something. It's like,

I don't know when the best time is, but like it, like something should be said at some point and you don't have to blurt it out, you know, drunkenly and be like, your boyfriend sucks. But like something should be said at some point, like, Hey dad, I mean,

this is really going to like affect our relationship because I'm not going to want to spend as much time with you if you're dating this girl that I cannot stand. And that is such a powerful thing. I feel like for a father to hear, of course, I'm not a father. So, but I feel like if I had a daughter and she said that or a son and I'd be like, damn, well, I can't date you if you don't like her. Like, yeah, if my kid doesn't like you, like that is a non-starter. So I say, uh,

Say you let it rip.
