Episode Transcript

[00:00:18] Speaker A: Welcome to Friendly Competition, a podcast to discover the best of all time. I'm Nick Carey, alongside my co host and best friend, Cody Lena. We discuss various pop culture topics and narrow down a truly the best of all time. [00:00:29] Speaker B: Or as we like to call it, the boat. Before he gets up foot on the boat, we put him to a sweet 16 style tournament. We argue each round till we decide a winner. Nick, what guy two do we use? We decide to set foot on the. [00:00:38] Speaker A: Boat, whatever the hell we want. Cody, you want to tell them what we're talking about this season? [00:00:42] Speaker B: Absolutely. This great, majestic, perfect country of ours with absolutely no flaws and definitely not even a hint of any sort of social racism or problems, has many great things going for it, including its lack of racism, identity politics, or anything like that. We're perfect in every way. But one way we're more perfect than most is that we got all this shit to look at everywhere you go. It's almost like everywhere you go in this country, there's something to look at. And that's what we're going to figure out. What's the best thing to look at or do or be a part of or experience. [00:01:15] Speaker A: Actually, Cody, I hate to. I hate to deny you this, but it really does seem like most of the stuff that's worth seeing is either directly in the northeast. Thank God South Dakota's holding it down for the middle of the country. Cause otherwise, we're out. [00:01:30] Speaker B: You're welcome, bitches. Like, what are you guys even doing out there? [00:01:34] Speaker A: And then the southwest, those are the. The only parts of America that matter. The northeast. [00:01:39] Speaker B: Minnesota. [00:01:40] Speaker A: One little dot in South Dakota. [00:01:41] Speaker B: Why Minnesota? Every minnesotan I know, because Nick's one of them, and he sent me videos of the meetings. They sit around and they are. They've done blood rituals. They've done all sorts of research and science. They're trying to get that great ball of yarn to take off. You know how much they paid weird al to sing that great ball? Yarn? It's. It's. [00:01:59] Speaker A: It's hard. [00:02:00] Speaker B: We. [00:02:00] Speaker A: We just want it so bad. I think that's the problem, too. [00:02:04] Speaker B: That's the problem. Do you gotta act like you've been there before? [00:02:06] Speaker A: Yeah. Is that. What do you think that's what Borglum was doing? Borglum invents, decides, like, I want to blow up this mountain and put faces in it. [00:02:16] Speaker B: I'm gonna blow, you know, like, how? [00:02:18] Speaker A: Nothing big. I'm not trying to, like, be fancy about it or nothing. I just want to blow up this rock, put some faces in it. [00:02:26] Speaker B: That's probably. He probably was. He's probably like, hey, you know back in the day, how, like, these old G's used to fucking carve shit all the time. I'm talking about the Colossus. I'm talking about the sphinx. That shit was radical, right? The president's like, yeah, I guess. What do I do that on big rocks here? [00:02:42] Speaker A: Yeah. And now we got our own big rock. We got our own big rock. Mountain mint. And they're like, I guess. [00:02:47] Speaker B: Who. [00:02:48] Speaker A: Who's the. Who's the four you're doing? Fun story. None of them involve you. [00:02:52] Speaker B: Get out of here. Yeah, we're talking about monuments. We'll save all of our good. Our good. [00:02:57] Speaker A: All that good. Yeah, we got. Hey, you guys, don't think. If you guys don't think for a second that the boys from the Black Hills ain't got a tight hour, 90 minutes on Mount Rushmore. Fucking buckle up, buttercup. [00:03:11] Speaker B: Do you know any fucking, you know many stupid ass field trips I took there? I've been. I've been portrayed my whole life for this. [00:03:18] Speaker A: I'm so ready to tell you everything. But we get. We have to wait to get there. Here we are in Group A. Uh, once again, we have our list. We sent it to our bracketologists. They seated it, sent it back to us, and here's what we got. Uh, we have our number one seed, the Empire State Building, going up against 16 seed Monument Valley. And then we have the eight seed Hollywood walk of fame going up against the nine seed Grand Canyon. Cody, where do you want to start? [00:03:46] Speaker B: So, with the Empire State Building in Monument Valley? Empire State Building, one of the tallest buildings in the world, a marvel of human engineering and physics and all the hard work and sweat and just the american dream in general. [00:04:00] Speaker A: American ingenuity. Right? [00:04:01] Speaker B: Yeah. There it is on display, Monument Valley. Three rocks. Three rocks in field. [00:04:06] Speaker A: Just three rocks in big field. Big. And it seems like it's hard to get to. It is one of the. You know, I don't, uh. I I don't know, Cody. I've never been to Monument Valley. I have been to the Empire State Building. Okay, where are you at on these. On these. On these big old monuments? [00:04:22] Speaker B: I haven't been to, either. I seen the Empire State Building while I was in New York, but I wasn't at it. [00:04:26] Speaker A: Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure. [00:04:27] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. So it's like, I think I'm broken, Nick. I think I'm spiritually and physically broken, because I see, I. If I go to Monument Valley and I'm out there looking at it, and people are weeping, and they're seeing the beauty of nature and the vastness, and they're feeling, like, in touch with God or maybe in touch with the universe. I just want to go back to something entertaining. There's nothing there for me. Am I. Am I. Am I broken, Nick? [00:04:52] Speaker A: You know what? I'm going to find out how broken you are, because here's my thing once again. Cody's right. It basically looks like it's. It's like a. It's a butte, right? So it's just a jutting out, like, tabletop rock. And there's three of them that are all right next to each other out in this valley in Arizona. Now, my question is, how far out in this valley am I going to have to go? Is really going to determine how interested I am in seeing this. Because if it's like. Because for. For context, people, the sphinx is. Is within a mile of a pizza hut. Just think about that. So, like, if this monument valley. If I've got to, like, hike my ass and go see, oh, Cody, it looks like Monument Valley is maybe a bunch of, like, really cool rock formations, dude. [00:05:41] Speaker B: Okay, let's make Monument Valley actually cool. We hollow out these rock formations and put malls in. [00:05:46] Speaker A: We do need to put malls. These are really. Hey, Monument Valley, I really thought that we were going to have something here with you, Monument Valley, and be like, hey, you know, maybe we are wrong here, Cody. Maybe we're just being civilized boys, and we don't understand anything about, you know, beauty and nature. But, like, y'all, these. This one is rocks like this. And I want to say, like, we looked at, like we were. When we typed in, like, top monuments, we also got this list. We were working with Katherine, she executive, she's ep on this episode, on every episode. And so we're working with Catherine. So, obviously, when we typed in national monuments, you get Monument Valley comes up. So I want to, first off, shout out to the SEO, whoever SEO captain is over at Monument Valley. [00:06:29] Speaker B: If it's the rocks. If it is the rocks. Yeah. That's what we need to focus this tour on. [00:06:35] Speaker A: But it is. It is rocks, dog. Like it. Wow. This is nothing. And it's so far away. There's no, there's no towns nearby. There's nothing to get to. [00:06:45] Speaker B: Here's the problem, though, Nick. This is why I think we're. I. Let's lock in Empire Staple. We're gonna do that anyway. But this is the problem. The problem is we're saying this shit and I know for a fact there's people who have hiked out to these rocks and found God amongst them. No, that is what makes them spiritually free. And I'm looking at the shit, and it just is rock. [00:07:05] Speaker A: Cody, here's my problem, okay? It's not. I want to be clear, too. I don't want to make this sound like we're just city boys. I love a good nature. I love a nice piece of nature. Here's what's, here's what's making me upset about Monument Valley, though, or whatever. Yeah, monument Valley. Is that like, I get it. I get the idea is like, look, over time, this is all that's made it. These buttes are the last standing ancestors of this land that has been flattened by land, by rain and wind and all of that. Look at what's left standing. [00:07:35] Speaker B: That's beautiful. [00:07:35] Speaker A: And that's, that's majestic. We have a better version of this in America. It's called arches. And do you wanna know why we call it arches? Because instead of just leaving flat tabletops, God got a little fancy and left stone arches. [00:07:52] Speaker B: It is insane. [00:07:53] Speaker A: You feel the weight of, like, God there. You're like, wow, this could not. This had to have been put together by a divine creator. There's no. Your mind cannot fathom how weather alone could leave us with this piece of artwork. That is amazing. That is the true national monument. But we're not here to tell. It's not on this list. I'll tell you that, folks, right now, because Monument Valley. Got that, SEO. [00:08:20] Speaker B: Got that, SEO. [00:08:21] Speaker A: We're not going to do two different rock races. [00:08:24] Speaker B: Okay, let's get the one. I'm not going to put our staple. I'm just getting pissed off. I'm getting real. [00:08:31] Speaker A: I'm not happy about this. I don't even know. Once again, folks, I can't begin to tell you where this is. It's not near any major city. This is a waste of your time. [00:08:41] Speaker B: This feels. [00:08:42] Speaker A: Oh, I see, so it's not. It's close enough to Grand Canyon that it feels like monument is really trying to tag on. Be like, hey, you're already at Grand Canyon, dude. [00:08:51] Speaker B: There. SEO is probably so good that every time you look up Grand Canyon that the monument park comes up. [00:08:57] Speaker A: Oh, for sure. They have themselves right next to it. Like, I mean, you're already going to be over at Grand Canyon. Why don't you hike another what, what looks to be probably two to 3 hours over here. And see, see, you know how you like all that's no rock, but all down in ground. Our rocks go up in sky. [00:09:15] Speaker B: Yeah. So like an empire state building. Let's do empire State building. [00:09:18] Speaker A: Moving on to the next round where it will go up against the Hollywood walk of fame or the Grand Canyon. [00:09:24] Speaker B: Heavy hitter here, this. I mean, when I think of grass, when I think of dirt based monuments that I want to look at, I think of the Grand Canyon. [00:09:37] Speaker A: I'll have to say. I have to imagine, Cody for you. You've never seen the Grand Canyon, right? [00:09:41] Speaker B: Nope. Nope. Me. [00:09:42] Speaker A: Me neither. I have to imagine for you, this is. This really is the end. All be all for you on if you inside of you there is any nature boy. [00:09:51] Speaker B: Exactly. No. I have that feeling like I'm saving the Grand Canyon. I do want to see it, but I definitely know that if it doesn't spark joy in me, I'm just never going outside again. Like, there's nothing left. There's nothing you can say. I already hate camping. I've almost put a full veto on ever camping again. If I see the Grand Canyon and I don't feel the spark of creation, then, yeah, no more camping. Like, there's. [00:10:13] Speaker A: There's no reason. There's nothing in the wilderness that will ever, will ever give you that little tingle. There's nothing where you will ever find peace or harmony or, you know, any greater connection to a greater spirit if the Grand Canyon don't do it for you. I do love, though. Cause I know. Cause I think I'll be there. I don't know why, but I feel like I'll be there. Cause I do. Cause I have to be there to experience and, like, I need you to talk me through it so I can hear and, like, hear your rational side of your brain. Explain to me why this is bad and not that you're not just doing a bit to be a cool kid. [00:10:45] Speaker B: Okay? Yeah, I'm very hip about my dirt based monuments and I don't know why. [00:10:50] Speaker A: Yeah, you really do wanna come off very cool to me. And, like, I get it. You, you were a senior, I was a sophomore. There's a part of you always wants to be like, Nick, I'm the cool one. I show you the cool things. But, you know, time flattens all, and so I don't need you to do it anymore. [00:11:05] Speaker B: You fucking flatten the Grand Canyon, dude. I'm always going to be bigger than you. And this is the Grand Canyon. The world's foremost dirt based monument is going up against the world's foremost garbage monument, I guess monument to garbage or. [00:11:21] Speaker A: Garbage people, y'all, if you've never been to the, like, nothing. I don't think the, the chasm between expectation and reality is any wider than the Hollywood walk of Fame. It is a grand canyon sized, gaping hole of expectation where you're like, man, this has got. [00:11:42] Speaker B: Man. [00:11:43] Speaker A: Because every time you watch it, too, because there's the part where you see the, the Hollywood stars put their star on. So you're like, well, that has to be in a fancy place like Beverly Hills. These celebrities wouldn't go to. [00:11:53] Speaker B: What. [00:11:54] Speaker A: I'm not even joking. Is, like, the inner city of L. A. This could not be more in the sketchiest parts of LA then, like, unless they put it in Compton. Like, it's straight up. They're like, we just put this over in Compton, you know, where, where Doctor Dre and Snoop Dogg talked about killing people. Yeah, we just put it right in those streets. But it is. It is either that, like, it's. It's not that bad, but it ain't that far off. Like, it's all. [00:12:21] Speaker B: It's though. It's. It's like, it's not fame based, either. You can just buy a walk of fame star. [00:12:27] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:12:28] Speaker B: For those, like, been on tv one. [00:12:30] Speaker A: Time, you have to. As long as a committee of fans puts together that puts up the money, you can get yourself a Hollywood star. I mean, I would have to imagine that, like, you couldn't have just been an extra on friends and do it, but I would have to. Who knows what it. Maybe if that's where the greed takes them and they're just like, yeah, man, we don't care. We got all these stars. We're going to put you in even in an even worse area of town. But, like, this is the thing for anyone. [00:12:58] Speaker B: We have. [00:12:58] Speaker A: We have international listeners, and we're very, we're very excited to have you listening to us. If you're going to come to America and you want to see the beauty that is America, I imagine that's why you're listening to this episode. Do not, do not go to the Hollywood walk fame. Or if you are, do not plan your hotel near there. [00:13:14] Speaker B: No, don't. Do not stay in skid row. Not recommended. Here's the thing, Nick. I think our show, like you said, is international. We are worldwide. We've got a huge listener base, and we got, with that, with that awesome power comes responsibility, right? Yeah. Now, I think our responsibility is we got to get a walk of fame star for somebody. We got to get somebody who, if it's committee of fans, we got to get the money together using our people. Let me be the first. I'm. You give me a recommendation, I'll give you mine first. Okay. I think we should go with Francesca Marie Smith. [00:13:44] Speaker A: Okay. [00:13:45] Speaker B: Little. Little known actress. But what she is known for is she was the voice of Helga Pataky from. Hey, Arnold, let's get Helga Pataky a star on the wall. Okay. [00:13:56] Speaker A: Okay. I see you. I see you. I see you. I like this. I like this. I. [00:14:01] Speaker B: Who do I. [00:14:02] Speaker A: Who do I want to see? I like, I like it. I like giving a shout to a voice actor. I appreciate that. It feels like, you know, not. Not everyone would. You have to put in though, her name and then under it, voice of Helga Pataky. [00:14:14] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, we're going to have to do some sort of delineating of who she is. Like, people will know. We'll make it happen. [00:14:20] Speaker A: Make her dress up as Helga Pataky. [00:14:22] Speaker B: Just put the star for Helga Pataky. [00:14:26] Speaker A: Wait, I think they're. I do think, like, snoopy, I think, has one. [00:14:30] Speaker B: That's insane. He's not real. [00:14:32] Speaker A: Like, I think. I think to the degree in which this is a bankrupt organization who is just there to cash checks and make stars, I guarantee you we could pro. So in light of that, I want to get Rocko. [00:14:46] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah. I was going to say I didn't know we could do animated character. I want to go. [00:14:49] Speaker A: I think Rocco. I want to say Rocco from Rocker, not the. Not the voice artist. I don't care. I just think that Rocco from Rocco's modern life deserves this opportunity to find himself on the Hollywood walk of Fame. [00:15:04] Speaker B: I'm looking in the Grand Canyon. The taco Bell dog has a star on the Walk of fame. Like, what are we even doing here, guys? What are we doing here? [00:15:13] Speaker A: When did. When did he get that star, too, by the way? [00:15:15] Speaker B: 2010. 2010. I'm doing my research over here. [00:15:18] Speaker A: Wow. So I think dead by that point, too. So we are. I swear to God, if there's a dog there, it's not the same dog. Cause they. I get. I know that dog died in 2009. [00:15:28] Speaker B: This. Yeah, a different dog. Mooney got this one. [00:15:30] Speaker A: That's bullshit. That is awe. [00:15:32] Speaker B: That is. That is disgusting. Didn't even get it. So you didn't get to the famous one. [00:15:36] Speaker A: You just brought in some chihuahua, and we're like, look, it's a chihuahua. Like, it's not the chihuahua. You can't just do this. I don't care if this is the Chihuahua. From the. The Beverly Hills Chihuahua movies. I don't care. You can't just. You can't give Samuel L. Jackson a star on the Walk of fame. Be like, here's Wesley Snipes. Like, that's not. That's not the same. It's pretty fucked up, actually. [00:15:58] Speaker B: Fucked up that you would do that. I like it. I'm not going to the Grand Canyon, dude. This is. Of all the dirt based monuments in the world, I think this is the one that's got to have the most power and strength. [00:16:08] Speaker A: It's the one. Yeah, I'm with you here. So Empire State, going up against the Grand Canyon. We have one of the marvels of man's achievement. Right? Because I think that's the thing when you go see this, because now the thing is, the Empire State building looks like a building. It's still pretty big. It's still one of our bigger ones. But at this point, it's kind of like, yeah, tall building. We get it. But at the time, this is when all those famous photos of men just on beams in the sky. [00:16:38] Speaker B: Yeah. Just walking around. [00:16:40] Speaker A: When they say that men aren't men anymore, I'm like, that's bullshit. You know, toxic, masculine, like, masculinity is a moving target. What it is to be a man is not defined by things like strength or whatever. But I see those guys on that beam, I'm like, oh, those dudes are men. [00:16:54] Speaker B: Oh, that's what you meant. Yeah, no, we aren't the same. [00:16:57] Speaker A: Yeah, no, no, no. [00:16:57] Speaker B: Yeah, no. That's what you're talking about. [00:16:59] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, then I'm not that. [00:17:01] Speaker B: No, I'm so sorry. [00:17:02] Speaker A: I'm not even close. Not a chance. There's not a single goddamn. I don't care what you're telling me about. Like, yeah, no, the money's good, you know. Yeah, it's a little scary, but why don't you do it a few times? It's not that bad. Fuck you. You're not. You're not seeing my ass go up on a beam, dude, I'm getting nauseous. [00:17:18] Speaker B: Just looking at this picture. You guys could all shut up. Yeah. There's no way. Hell, yeah. Men are different, Nick. Think about this, though. Let me put this into perspective for you. I've walked down the street and I've seen a hole and thought, dang, that's a fucking hole. I've seen a hole before and thought, wow, I gotta take a picture of that and send it to my friend. Look at this hole. Yeah, but imagine walking down the street and seeing a hole so big that you had to tell the world about it. That's what the Grand Canyon is. Somebody was just walking and saw this. It was like, this. This needs. Everybody needs. [00:17:47] Speaker A: I didn't even think about that. That, like, as we're a. Obviously, for those who are indigenous to that area before settlers came through, like, obviously, you're like, this is a holy site. There's no fucking way. Yeah, obviously. So that makes sense right away, right? This massive hole that you're like. Like, imagine seeing the hole and being like, man, it's a pretty big hole. I'll just see where the other side of the hole is. And it's days, weeks later that you're like, I think I've finally gotten to the other side of the hole. It's so big. And all I have is this horse. [00:18:21] Speaker B: Like, there's something primal, though, and human about seeing a hole so big that you just want to tell your friend about. [00:18:28] Speaker A: I'm telling you. Could you imagine stumbling on it? You're. You're in your horse drawn carriage, and you're just going through, and you're like, hey, hold on. Looks like. Looks like there's something up ahead. Looks like a well hole. Seems like an under. Undervalued word for this. It's. [00:18:43] Speaker B: What the fuck? [00:18:46] Speaker A: Like, you all would just be like, this is nuts, right? [00:18:50] Speaker B: I think both of these are nuts, dude. And the fact that we. We at the honorific, we. I didn't do shit with it. But someone built the Empire State Building, right? [00:19:00] Speaker A: Humans. Our team. The team that we play for. [00:19:03] Speaker B: Exactly. Well, bench warm. Bench warm. Well, you're on the team. [00:19:08] Speaker A: You still get a ring. [00:19:09] Speaker B: You still get a ring at the. [00:19:10] Speaker A: End of the season, so don't worry about it. But, yeah. Like, to see it. I think what's hard now, though, is, like, I've. I went, like you said, we both seen it, but I went and did the actual, like, you get to go up in it and stuff a. Now the Empire State Building's, like, apologizing. Cause it's not the biggest building anymore. Like, it's gotten, like, destroyed. It's, like, not. I think it maybe is, like, top ten, but barely. And every other country is, like, going out of its way to destroy it. [00:19:35] Speaker B: Yeah, every. Every building that's built now, they make sure to make it, like, a story taller than the Empire State easily. [00:19:41] Speaker A: They just are dunking on the Empire State Building. Like, oh, that's so cute. When you had a big building. Look at all of ours. Even we did that in America, the twin towers were bigger than the Empire State. [00:19:49] Speaker B: Can you imagine? It would be like if we grabbed a dude from, like, 1925 NBA from a time machine and threw him on the court one on one. It's LeBron. It was like, go. Yeah. [00:20:00] Speaker A: You game, same game. The rules have not changed that much. What's this line above the key? That's three points. Wait, what? Okay. That's the only difference. [00:20:12] Speaker B: It's okay. He's smoking a cigarette. He's got a beer in his hand. He's like, well, I'm the top athletic specimen of the 1910s. No one can step to me. I'm five foot, 6127 pounds, and I can smoke three packs before I even feel it. And then six foot, 9300 pounds, 60 inch vertical leap. LeBron James shows up. [00:20:33] Speaker A: Well, the. The thing is, he's probably gonna be like, what is he doing here? Is he allowed in this building? This isn't for. This isn't for coloreds, is it? Like, there's gonna be some other problems we're gonna have to get to. [00:20:43] Speaker B: Yeah, we'll get over him. [00:20:44] Speaker A: Hey, that's actually fine now. We are. We are. We are. It is better now for that. [00:20:49] Speaker B: So where are you at? I'm torn. I think I. I think if this was 30 years ago, I'd go Empire State. But I go in Grand Canyon. The Empire State is falling off. It's not even a thing anymore. The Grand Canyon is still the most impressive hole maybe ever. Here's. [00:21:05] Speaker A: And here's the thing about. I'm. I'm with you, too. [00:21:06] Speaker B: I'm. [00:21:07] Speaker A: I'm Team Grand Canyon. Cause a. There is a part of me that's like, maybe it's not fair. Cause I have seen the Empire State building. I've seen all it can be. I think no matter what, I'm more likely to be awestrich and by it. But there, like, there's something about it where you're like, I got to get to that. I gotta be. I gotta stand at the edge and feel the wonder, you know, of, like, big hole. Cause anytime someone tells you, like, man, big hole changed my life. [00:21:31] Speaker B: Big hole. Since I've been an adult, once I cracked the age of 30, I've had two people, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's more than zero. Reach out to me to tell me about big holes they found. [00:21:43] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:21:43] Speaker B: So, like, imagine finding the Grand Canyon. [00:21:46] Speaker A: The biggest hole. It's the biggest hole. Yeah, I. And also Empire State Building. You can't even go all the way to the top. [00:21:51] Speaker B: What if. Okay, Empire State Building. You can go all the way to the top and they let you ride donkeys back to the bottom. [00:21:57] Speaker A: Just on the stairs. Taking a donkey like this doesn't feel safe at all. Like, it's fine. [00:22:04] Speaker B: This donkey does not like this one bit. [00:22:06] Speaker A: I don't think this. We should be doing this here. Like, nah, it's fine. You have to. Well, we have to do it this way to preserve the natural beauty of the Empire State Building. We can't use. We can't use modern technology. [00:22:17] Speaker B: We're not trying to mess up the local ecology of this building. I'm bucking in Grand Canyon. [00:22:21] Speaker A: Do you think you'd feel different about the Grand Canyon? Like what a masterpiece it is if you couldn't take the elevator? For sure. To like, appreciate how high up in the world you are. [00:22:31] Speaker B: If you want to truly experience the Empire State Building, you have to take the stairs. [00:22:35] Speaker A: You have to. I'm now kind of like, I think I messed up not taking because now I feel like I would have gotten a better. [00:22:41] Speaker B: Say something. You'd still be there if you had to take this. [00:22:44] Speaker A: That's fair. [00:22:44] Speaker B: Yeah, that's. [00:22:45] Speaker A: I would live at the. I would live at the Empire State Building from now on. That's very true also. It is just an office building. [00:22:52] Speaker B: How. That's fair. How. What floor do you have to be on in an office building that the elevator is broken? That you just say, I'm not going to work. If I showed up to work and they were like, you got to walk up the stairs and it's like 30 floors, I'd be like, oh, fuck. Well, that's okay. [00:23:06] Speaker A: I'm, I'm talking six. Six flights of stairs. [00:23:09] Speaker B: I said 30 flights of stairs. [00:23:11] Speaker A: I'm saying, that's ridiculous. 30 is a guaranteed no. That's not even a question at this. 1010 maybe. And that's because I have a presentation that day. [00:23:23] Speaker B: That's it. [00:23:23] Speaker A: Like, I have to be in the office. Cause it's big presentation day and I gotta impress my boss to get this raise. But other than that, I ain't doing it, dog. [00:23:32] Speaker B: Like, I think. I think twelve. I'm twelve. I'm not doing. All right. I'm lucky. [00:23:37] Speaker A: This is you trying to be cooler than me again and you got it. Not, dog, I get it. [00:23:41] Speaker B: You were cooler than say what you're going to say and I'm going to add two to it. That's the rule. [00:23:48] Speaker A: Every, every time I try to like, nope, I'm still cooler. Though, so suck it. [00:23:52] Speaker B: Too cooler, dude. [00:23:53] Speaker A: All right, I'm. It's got to be the Grand Canyon. We got to move the Grand Canyon on in to be the group a champion. We'll go up against the B, C and D champion, but you gotta wait to listen to those. But thank you so much for listening to this episode of friendly competition.
