Eli Manning on Super Bowl Wins, Favorite Sports Movies, Peyton Manning's Dancing & Texting

Better dancer. Oh, I'm much better. My hips are so loose. Yeah. I can actually see that. I mean, Peyton seems a little stiff. A little stiff. Peyton is like, with all due respect, who had more rushing yards between y'all two? That's a great question. No one cares. Yeah. Whoever was in the negative, no one cares. Yeah, no one cares. Almost. Hey. Almost. Almost. Almost. Almost. Almost. Almost. Almost. Almost. Almost. Almost. Welcome to Almost Athletes with Dude Perfect, a wave original. This episode is presented by Toyota. Let's go places. Follow the show on all social media at Almost Athletes and like and subscribe. We're your hosts. I'm G. Smart. Let's get right into it. Yeah. Fresh off of Super Bowl Sunday, brother. What'd you like? What'd you like about the game? I found myself, you know, kind of doing a little what I call my version of dancing during halftime. Yeah, that was good, man. So you thought halftime better than the game itself? I feel bad saying that, but yes, I think Bad Bunny was the MVP of the Super Bowl. So you think it was more or less Bad Bunny elevating his play, or was it the football being that bad? A little bit of both? I think both. I think he came prepared. He did. And the two football teams played a little timid. Maybe weren't as prepared as Bad Bunny? But let's talk about it. What a score prediction. You almost nailed it. Dude, I did. I was all over it. Now, JSN didn't have the game that I thought he would. And the more I thought about it, Collinsworth said something on the broadcast that really stuck out to me. The Patriots are known for scheming out the best player on the other team. They've made a history of doing that. So it kind of makes sense. They paid so much attention to JSN. But, yeah, Seattle had enough. I was all over it. 27-17. Final score was, what, 29-13? Kind of a funky game there. Funky score. I'm still disappointed that the NFL – it's just like the Heisman voting. The NFL had a chance to do something historic. You wanted Myers, too? Dude, I thought it was all his. If it wasn't Myers, who else was it? How about the Seattle punter who put it inside the five? Michael Dixon. Every single punt. Dude, I was at Tyler's house and Ian was there and he said the same thing. He's like, that dude is so good at what he does that people just take it for granted. He was coughing cornering those punts like no problem. Dude, that is – I don't – It's impressive. I challenge anybody who is arguing with me that that is hard to do. Walk out to the 50-yard line because you guys think kicking is so easy. Sure. No one's even rushing you. Put it with inside the five for five straight punts. That's what he did. And you're not going to do it. I think the casual football fan doesn't realize just how important it is when you flip field position like that. The specialty units were awesome. I feel like we had a deserving Super Bowl champion this year. 14 wins in the regular season in the toughest conference in football. And then they put a bow on it by beating them by 16 points. They were awesome. The defensive line was awesome. Happy for Tank Lawrence, former Dallas Cowboy. Really happy for him. I text some guys last night. I was like, at least Lawrence got a, you know, like leaves the Cowboys, which I don't know if he was happy or sad about that. I think he was a little upset. I think his, I don't, don't quote me, but his words were like, fine, I'll go win a Super Bowl elsewhere. And to his credit, he did that. So if you're Josh Allen, no, that one hurts. Seattle's a tough team to beat, but I think in terms of Super Bowl, he could have put up some offensive numbers in the Super Bowl that, I mean, shoot. I think Houston could have put up some offensive numbers with their offensive weapons. Yeah. Well, back to halftime real quick. So what do you grade it? A letter grade. Bad Bunny. Oh, I thought it was great, man. Honestly, obviously I don't understand. Non entiendo espanol. What does that mean? That means I don't understand espanol. I don't understand Spanish. Right. Just the fact I couldn't decipher that sentence lets you know that I also. So I blow a spain, you know, a poco from a vibe standpoint, spectacular from a production quality. Spectacular guest, the guest he brought on Gaga appearing. I think Jessica Alba was in there and other people. It was great. Here's my problem is it gave me flashbacks of Spanish for when the professor was speaking in nothing but Spanish. And I'm sitting there trying to decipher. And I don't know if she's saying homework's due Wednesday or if like your excuse from class. So it brought back some Spanish for nightmares. Other than that, I thought it was great. I'm going to speak for all of America in the public school system. They failed us. You just said you take you for Spanish for. Yeah. And you can't even say hi in Spanish. That's insane. Whatever you said. Let's relearn that because you've wasted four years of your life speaking or trying to speak a foreign language. And you should be fluent. We should all be fluent. About to be 35 years old. It's time that I perfect my Spanish. But yeah, I thought I give it an A for the halftime performance. I thought it was good. Yeah. B plus for me. Okay. I mean, we're right there. Which is better than most. Yeah. Better than most. Hard gig, by the way. People just are always, I don't know if expectations are super high or, I don't know, but there's a bar there that almost can't be obtained for Super Bowl halftime shows. I feel like if you hop on social media at any point during a halftime show, regardless of year, it's pretty critical of the artist. You kind of can't sit still during it. With little hips? With Bad Bunny's music. Your hips were talking? Yeah. Again, like. I was shaking myself at it. Again, like it's like not even like I don't even know how to dance, but you know. But Bad Bunny's music, to your point, makes you want to dance. Yeah, correct. It kind of forces your hand. You listen to Gaga sometimes. It forces your hips. Yeah. It's okay. Big week for us, though. Busy week. Off to L.A. Of course, Cody's playing in the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game. And you're playing. Yeah, I'm playing in the Creator Cup the night before. Three-on-three tournament. And then later on today's episode, Cody and Tyler are going to sit down with their wives. We're going to do a little Valentine's game called Dulywed Game. Look forward to that. But first, we were in San Fran for Super Bowl week, and we sat down with Super Bowl legend Eli Manning. Check that out. Our guest needs no introduction, but we're going to give him one anyways. He was the number one pick out of Ole Miss. He's a two-time Super Bowl champ and MVP. He started 210 consecutive games and led two of the most iconic Super Bowl upsets in NFL history and is currently the host of the Emmy-winning Manning cast. Give it up for Eli Manning. Thank you. Wow. What an introduction. Thank you, boys. Did that offend you when it said upsets in NFL history? I mean, I feel like that was kind of a, you know. It's like Jab. I mean, he went out there and won. Technically, we were the underdog. I'm fine playing the underdog role. That's okay. Well, we hung with Brady here recently. Who's that? Yeah, Tom. You heard of him? Tom and Jerry. He wasn't too fond of those Super Bowls. So, yeah, it happens. Eli, actually, we've met before, and you're going to have no recollection of this. Take it back to 2004. Okay. January 2nd. Do you know where you were? January 2nd, 2004. Are you at Cotton Bowl? Yes, sir. Okay. You know who you're playing? We're playing Oklahoma State. At the hotel. Y'all were there. I happened to be in Dallas for a cheerleading convention. That makes sense. Unfortunately, not nearly as cool. That makes sense. I threw up cheddar peppers from Sonic on the way to this cheerleading convention, but it gets worse. Me and you were in an elevator together. Were you cheerleading? No, sister was. Okay. I was supporting. Every routine is the same, by the way. That's what I can't stand. I don't know how they do that stuff. Jazz hands? Oh, yeah, glitter, all that. Oh, nightmare stuff. But me and you were on an elevator together. Some of your old linemen were there. Yeah, I don't remember that. I can't believe I'm sitting with you. Weird. Yeah, I'm sorry. But anyhow, as the night went on, I went to the weight room with one of my buddies, and I'm like seventh grade sparky, hopped on the treadmill, and in front of about 12 Ole Miss players, just boom, face plant, off the treadmill. Split off. That's pretty dangerous. Glad you didn't remember it. It wasn't the best way to meet. So I'm glad we got years later to come back around and see each other. You've totally redeemed yourself. Thank you. Thank you. And this is a chance for you to redeem yourself because in 2009, also in Dallas, you christened the new AT&T Stadium with a little signature. So if you want to take the time just to apologize, I wouldn't mind it. I wouldn't mind it. I think that's been blown out of proportion a little bit in the sense that, obviously, it was the first game in the new stadium in Jerry World there. and the equipment manager for the away team. So you go in the locker room, and there's kind of the locker room guy for the visiting team. And he's there for every visiting team that comes in, and he takes care of things. And so I'd gotten to know, he was at the original stadium before, I'd gotten to know him a little bit. And after the game, you kind of go and you tip that guy a few bucks, you sign some autographs for him. I kind of knew stadium, went into his little office, not like in the locker room, It's off the locker room in his office. We kind of did our deal, and he said he wanted to start a new tradition of having the athletes that come in sign the wall. And I'm like, I'd be honored to start that tradition. And it was the first game, so I was the first one to do it. The next year, came back. There was about 20 guys that signed it. The next year, it came back. That guy had been fired, and the wall was wiped clean. So I don't know what happened in there. I think he retired, honestly. I don't think he got fired. But Jerry didn't like that. But I just happened to be the first one. It got a lot of attention. Fair. So it wasn't that. It wasn't like I just went in and signed the middle of the locker room. Like, hey, I own this locker room now. And, you know, just don't worry about it. I'm just going to sign right here. It wasn't like that. Yeah. Well, the building's been cursed ever since. Yeah. I appreciate it. And they still haven't put blinds up, which is remarkable. Yeah, it is remarkable, dude. Absolutely remarkable. So the big game this Sunday. Yeah. As a person who's played in a couple of them, how much more intense does the Super Bowl, even compared to a regular season, but even a playoff game, just how much more elevated is it? Obviously, you have the media stuff going around, a lot of distractions. I'm sure you tried to block those things out, but the scale of the Super Bowl, kind of needless to say, pretty darn big. Yeah, obviously, you're going into the biggest game of your life, and what it means to win a Super Bowl, what it means to your teammates, your coaches, your fan base, your family, the buddies that you played high school football with or college football with that didn't go on to the next level. I mean, they are living this through you, and you want it. And it's a little bit different when you come to the Super Bowl because all of a sudden, for the last 20 weeks, you've had the same routine of what you do on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, getting ready for the game. And now, all of a sudden, the biggest game of your life, they take you out of your routine, out of your home base, out of where you live, your family, your friends, your own practice facility, where you've gotten just used to everything. And now you're in a hotel, you're in a random city, you're taking buses to practice and everything's off a little bit. So I think you try to keep things as similar as possible. Hey, if you got a massage on Thursdays, set that massage up. If you went to dinner with your teammates on Wednesday nights, Go to dinner with your teammates. If you had a date night with your wife on Friday, like, create all those same things so you kind of feel like everything's normal. And now, you know, just try to get to the game. And at that point, you know, it's just about, hey, it's trusting your training, trusting the things that have gotten you to this point, and go play football and, you know, not to get caught up with the flashes and the lights and everything going on. There's a lot of flashes, a lot of lights. Massage Wednesdays, was that Thursday? Yeah, whatever it might be. You know, this is an example. I need to implement that in my routine. A Wednesday massage. So we've got to stick to the routine. We've got to stick to it every week. Makes a lot of sense. Anything like favorite memories from your Super Bowls? I mean, other than the catch, obviously. Right. Well, I mean, I think, you know, kind of what I talked about a little bit is that, you know, during the season, you know, I wake up in the morning, I get in my car, and I drive to the facility. I drive home afterwards. Now, you're in your Super Bowl site. You're taking buses. It's like back to high school football. You're taking a bus to practice every day. And that was fun, just being with the teammates. And we had a couple – fans are outside. Remember once we had Richie Sorbert was one of our offensive linemen. We were walking outside, and there was a lady out there. She had a Mary Me Manning shirt. And it was like a small shirt on her. Richie saw it, and he's like, I need that shirt. Somehow he got it, and he's wearing it on the bus. You get on the bus, I get on, and there's Richie. He's like, come on, Eli, big hug. And he's wearing this shirt. It's a midriff on him. The gut's hanging out. And just those fun things. And I think that's kind of important during those big moments that you're about to play. If you're all business for a week straight, that's not going to be good. There's got to be some fun. There's got to be enjoying the moment of having the laughs and kind of knowing the flip the switch. And, hey, we've got a 40-minute bus ride. We're not going to sit there and be like, no talking on the bus means you're not focused. Like, hey, we're all professionals here. We all have worked very hard to get here. Let's enjoy these moments, have some fun, have some blasts, rip on each other, and enjoy this time together. Yeah, that's awesome. I got a couple questions just because I come from a family of two brothers as well. We were extremely competitive. Obviously not, you know, we're almost athletes. We weren't actual athletes. But for you growing up with just a talented family, how competitive was it? Do you think having those brothers kind of got you to where you were today? No, a thousand percent. Peyton is five years older than me. Cooper is seven years older than me. So there's a whole lot of me being able to compete against them in basketball or football in the front yard. We played a lot of football in the front yards. They're buddies. I was just one to be invited in. If there was an odd number, like, all right, Eli, we need you. You can play permanent center for both sides. I'm like, all in. I just wanted to be, those are my heroes. Those are the ones, they're playing high school football, and I'm in fifth grade or fourth grade. And I just wanted to watch those guys, and those are my role models. But definitely the fact that, I know you all mentioned in the introduction, 210 straight games in a row for me. both my brothers take 100% credit for that because of the physical and mental torture they put me through as a kid. They're like, no, we've been training you since you were six years old to not get hurt. You were not allowed to tell mom or dad that you were injured. We punch you, we pin you down, we knock on your chest and make you name the 28 teams in the NFL at the time. This is all a training process for you to be durable and and not get injured and not to tell anybody you're ever hurt so um they're like we expect a thank you or like a gift i'm like you'll get nothing and like it y'all y'all just gave me wedgies because you want to give me wedgies there was no training involved in this y'all were just mean older brothers so before the before the super bowls did we call the brothers any any advice or were you just like i'm doing this myself i don't want them in my head no definitely i mean both both my brothers uh you know wanted this yeah for me i mean payton was awesome he had played in the first super bowl he had played and won a super bowl the year before so like talking to him about hey you know how did you handle like tickets yeah and how did you handle like who gets invited who doesn't get invited do you invite a big thing like all my buddies want to come do i get their like their girlfriends a ticket also like where do people stay like just like there's a lot of logistics going on I had to handle this so having him there for that and I mean you know there's video of him in in the suite and we're you know going on the drive and hitting Plaxco I mean he is fired up he's ready to go I mean there's you know kind of hear stories about Cooper I mean he's on his on his knees praying you know during the game it's like please let this you know be a catcher make him have this two-minute drive so So, you know, great, great support from my brothers. And, you know, of course, you know, as sometimes the people that you're closest with, you have some of the biggest fights with them and you have the wrestlings. And there's definitely, you know, the competitive nature of growing up. But when it comes to knowing, you know, when it's time and serious going on, your livelihood, your profession, you know, we support each other 100 percent and want everyone to have great success. Little did I know a wedgie was the key to starting 210 consecutive games. Yeah, wedgies. I got plenty of wedgies. A swirly, a chocolate swirly. Sure. Yeah, those weren't as fun. Yeah. The days of 210, though, we were actually marveling at this on the plane over here today. It's like, dude, that's an astronomical number. You take great pride in the fact that, because I'm sure you were not 100% healthy in many of those times. Is that something you took great pride in, is availability being available for your teammates? No, 100%. Being available for your teammates, being available to the coaches. And, you know, I always took it as, you know, I always thought about the offensive lineman. When I went into playing the first game of the season, I have not gotten hit in seven months. You know, like no one has touched me and I am hit. I'm like so fresh. I've gone through training camp. No one's hit me. Preseason don't get hit much. And I'm thinking about my offensive lineman and these guys are already sore. They've gone through two a days and they're hitting at practice. And they're, you know, I mean, they're going through a totally different process of getting ready for the first game. And, you know, then after a game, I mean, they are exhausted. They are sore. They've been, you know, just hitting, you know, hit someone for 65 plays in a row. And I'm like, hey, for me to say, oh, my arm's a little sore. I can't practice today or I can't I can't plan a game. Like that wasn't an option. I was going to do anything possible to be out there, to be at practice, to be in the game. And to show that, you know, hey, I'm not going to let little injuries, you know, keep me off the off the field. And, you know, I'm here and I'm going to be reliable and dependable to show up and give my best effort every day. Love that. Needless to say, the linemen, they didn't they didn't have the luxury of wearing the old red. They don't have the red jerseys. They don't have the red jerseys. I love training camp. I mean, training camp, even though we had two days back then, I was like, yeah, I went to summer camp when I was 11 years old and I loved it. It was like, I still get to do it when I'm 30 years old and, you know, go off for two weeks. They view training camp as something completely different. It's like, they're not playing football. They are just hitting someone and getting tackled and falling down and people falling on them. It's like, it's, I get to play football and I'm throwing a pass and there's competitiveness and it's all like, Oh, a coverage in your, like a mental game. There's is a physical game, every single practice. And it's brutal. and I don't even know why they like the game of football, knowing what they had to go through. But I understand that that's what they're going through, and I appreciate it so much because they keep the mean, big, scary guys away from me, from hitting me. So I'm thankful for them all the time. But it's a different world. We play two different sports within the same sport. So why you're differently, I think, would be a great way to put those on line. I've always wanted to ask a quarterback this. Is it a stressful season after, you know, Christmas time rolls around, we've got to get O-line the gifts? Oh, he's a gift, yeah. And it's like being creative. You know, you don't want to, you're like, I don't know what this, do the quarterbacks talk about this within the league, or is it like? Yeah, you talk. You kind of like call your buddy, what are you going with this year? No doubt. You definitely, you know, that's a good older brother situation also. Kind of have, hey, what did you give them? and I was one that I based it a little bit on how we're doing that year. It's not just like – Totally like that. You know, it's not like saying, yeah, I'm always thankful and take them out to dinner and do those things. That's going to be a given. But, hey, the better season we have, the better you're blocking, the better the game. Yeah, there's some incentive there. Yeah, there's incentive. I remember like, you know, some of the linemen, they're still some of my best friends for my rookie year, Chris Snee and Sean O'Hare, Dave Deal and these guys, And they gave me a hard time. My rookie year, I didn't start the first nine games. I started the last seven games. And we went one and six, so not that great. So I got them some sunglasses. That was the gift. We won one game. I didn't start. And it's a good starting point for the year. And they're like, sunglasses? I'm like, what did Kurt Warner get you? He started the first half. Did he get you anything? He did it. So we're there. The next year, full-time starter. We go 11-5. We make the playoffs. Then, hey, let's get a new suit or a tailor-made suit. Sure. We had cowboy boots. We had TVs and computers and tech and video cameras. I mean, we went through the works. But, yeah, you definitely – it is a little stressful. I bet, dude. Because everybody is a little different. You have some people that never want a suit in their lives. Some people want a shotgun or something. I'm sure I give my wife a gift. I can't even imagine getting five or six guys. Then you get the backups. The guy was like, hey, this guy's played three games. This guy's played 16 games. Do they get the same gift? I don't think that's fair. Where do we draw the line? This guy hasn't been on the act of 53 all year. Do I give him a Toyota? Exactly. And then all it takes is a quarterback like Phillip Rivers. If he gets everybody a four-wheeler or something, makes you look bad. Then all of a sudden, they're going all out. That's all Dak was delivering all the goods. They make a little more money nowadays. You spend more money on the – Brock Burr is giving cars out. He's giving Toyotas out. to be honest lineman? I mean, he's getting big time now. He's 60 mil a year, I mean. Exactly. He holds a little more weight. You spend more money on your wife or your lineman? That's a phenomenal question here. No, the wife. I think the wife. My wife wins. I was thinking about going out to dinner, though. You take the wife out to dinner, have a special night or something. Hey, maybe get a good bottle of wine. It's like you kind of do the same thing, but the lineman eat so much more. Yeah, they do eat so much more. They don't order one steak. They order two steaks. And they may get one to go for their post-dinner dinner, their late-night dinner. They like the good wine, and it just keeps flowing. Now, I actually tell some of the quarterbacks now, they take the linemen out to dinner. No one drinks anymore. They're like, no, we've got to hydrate. And I was like, my linemen never said the word hydrate in their entire life. I've never seen him drink a bottle of water ever. That's incredible. That's great. So you've been out of the game a little bit now. And the game keeps evolving, changing. Quarterback position specifically, what are some of the differences from when you played? I'm sure not a lot of under center as much anymore. Some of those things. How much different is the quarterback play today compared to when you were letting it fly Yeah I mean I think kind of like you said a lot more shotgun right And you know there still a few teams that are doing it or getting back to it And you see like San Francisco here Brock Purdy under center a lot And there still some teams that are doing the play action and under center. And, you know, I think that's great. And there's some that are just, hey, we're all, all shotgun and we're just not doing it. And I think there's, yeah, there's kind of, you know, both, both are good. I think it's still, I mean, the quarterback play, some of the best quarterbacks are the guys that can scramble, but you still got to be able to throw it. You got to be able to stay in the pocket, make throws, move in the pocket, keep your eyes downfield and the ones that are playing at the highest level on the quarterback spot are those people. The young guys that can scramble and run around, it's great to have that access when things break down or that ability, but you eventually got to learn to stay in there and make the throws and hey, you can still have, the great thing about the NFL. You can have the young Bucs and Drake Mays come in there and play well, but you can have the Staffords and the guy who's 38 but still slinging in and you have a guy in their second year and a guy in this, I don't know what Stafford is, 15th year that are kind of both up for the MVP spot. So I think that's it kind of goes in waves. It got away from running backs who weren't important not running it. Now it's definitely a little bit more running, throwing to the running backs. It's still healthy. There's a great crop of young talent out there that are doing great things and making the game exciting, and that's what it's all about. Mentioned a great crop of young talent. Any favorite quarterbacks slinging it right now, young guns, that you really like? Yeah, I mean, you love Bo Nix, and when he did this year, you hate the fact that he got injured and the way that worked out, but what an unbelievable year, fourth quarter comebacks, just having that grit and that way of, hey, it's not always pretty all the times, but in the critical moments, like you saw that level of play step up. Drake May, you kind of see the same thing in critical moments, making great plays. Trevor Lawrence having a great year and back. Caleb Williams. There's just a great talent out there. They're being coached up well, and they have that ability to make the plays the way they're designed to be played and designed to work. and they can throw it on time and do those things. But when things get off and the defense has got a better play than you got called, they can create those plays. And that's what makes it exciting, kind of the off-script plays that they have the ability to. It makes it hard for defenses to stop. It was fun to kind of poke the bear with Tom and kind of ask him similar questions and see that competitive side come out in him. And he was swearing up and down that he still thinks he could thrive at the NFL level. And I truly think internally he believes that. What about you? You think you've got any snaps left in you? No, I have no. No, it's zero. You don't have a Phillip Rivers left in you? I don't have a Phillip Rivers. I saw Phillip Rivers, and every time I see a quarterback get hit, I'm like, ooh, it looks painful. I'm like, no way he's getting up from that. I'm like, yep, he popped right out of the gun. When you play it, I never saw hits. I never thought I was going to get injured or there's no way he's getting up. And now I see it, and every hit is like, ooh, that looks painful. That's the back. I'm not getting up from that one. No, but Tom could definitely – he's a psycho. He is. No, he truly is. He was wired differently. We do a concept on our main channel called Squad Games where the five dudes and myself take on, whether it's a content creation group, whatever it may be, in a best-of-seven sports series. Okay. If you're grabbing four other quarterbacks from the past, who are you taking – Or present. To take with you to a squad games. So all sports. They need to be competent across the board. Okay. Yeah, baseball, soccer. And I'm taking quarterbacks, not teammates, quarterbacks. Quarterbacks. I'm taking four quarterbacks from the past or present. Or present. Is that I want on my team to go. All right. All right. So let's start with just like pure athlete. Let's go Michael Vick. Got you. All right. I want speed. Yeah, that's pretty good. All right. So he's going to be faster than everybody out there. So that's good. I'll bring Big Bro out there, Peyton and I. Yeah, we just kind of have that chemistry. We kind of have our hand signals, just kind of that brotherly love, brotherly nonverbal communication going on. So we've got to make something happen. Also, someone I can yell at. If I need to yell at someone, I can just take all my anger out on him. So we have Vic. We've got Pate. Let's go. I'm going to go an old teammate here. We've lost him, but Jared Lorenzen. Okay. All right. You know, we need a big guy in there. We got to do some blocking maybe. Wrestling. Wrestling could be. Wrestling. You never know. Right. You know, I don't know what sport we're playing, but great athlete and bring some muscle into the mix. And then let's go, you know, let's just keep it a family. I'm bringing my dad. I'm bringing old school Archie Manning just running around. He was an athlete. I mean, he was the guy who could scramble. He would have been great in, like, this new world of RPO and running quarterback. Like, this would have fit his abilities. So there we go. That's the team. That's a solid list. You like that? Yeah, I do. Yeah, with the reserve, your nephew. Yeah. Little Arch is on the bench. He's waiting his turn. Yeah. So I do have a question about that. So, like, obviously, I'm an Aggie. Do you feel like, I mean, you were the youngest. You had a lot of shoes to fill. You had your dad. Peyton I mean even your brother was you know a heck of an athlete do you feel like the the expectations that was set on arch this year were pretty egregious like I mean just insane for an 18 year old or just I think for him to succeed the expectations that were on him he would have had to like throw 79 touchdowns when you know the national championship and win two Heisman trophies in the same year and still barely get to those yeah but you know so I mean I get it that's a and and you can't hide from it and he's done a great job of not hiding from it he's not he's never you know he got off to a slow start a little bit and you know you're going against Ohio State and in the first game of your first year as a starter I mean tough situations and he you know did not play great at some games early on but you know he was he was he was determined enough and and humble enough to to ask for help from the coaches and prepare and work through it. And he got better and ended up playing unbelievable the back half of the season. And so proud of him on that note. And you saw the way the teammates talked to him about it and the way he showed up, he kept working, he worked through it. And that's what you want. Because in college it's about being a great teammate. You're with your guys that are all in the same boat. You're all coming here to play college football. You're living together. You're hanging out together. And so it's creating that bond. And then, you know, it's about learning how to handle this, how to get better, about how to, you know, have a tough game and overcome it, how to make strides and find a way to improve after every single game. And that's what he did. I think he got better every single game and so excited for his future, but excited about how he handled everything and being mentally strong to go through that. Yeah, the adverse times as an athlete, I think, are really beneficial in the moment. Nobody likes them, but it's how you respond to the adverse times. No doubt. You're a dad. I am. You've got four of them. I've got them. You almost got a whole position group going there. Now I'm sure they're involved in sport. Yeah. Do you find yourself as a dad trying to fill more of that dad role when it comes to youth sport? Do you catch yourself kind of pulling the reins back if you're trying to coach them up a little bit? But how do you find that fine line? I think try to be more the dad. I'm not like the super dad that's like yelling at their kids, you know, hey, you got to be out shooting hoops right now or you better be out there, you know, practicing more. So I think, hey, I lived my athletic dreams and I loved playing sports in high school and I played basketball through high school. I played baseball in high school. obviously football and through college and loved all those things. And I think sports are very important for kids, and they should be playing it, but they don't have to have the dream of being a professional athlete or a collegiate athlete or a high school athlete in that sense. But I think just having them active in things and learning about teamwork and learning about if you do want something and you are competitive and you want to reach a certain goal. and I have kids that are playing a bunch of sports I actually know nothing about. I coach them in basketball. I coach them in softball, my girls, and they've said, actually, I don't want to play those sports anymore. I want to go into swimming, ice hockey, and lacrosse, three sports I've never done anything about. So maybe, I don't know if that was on purpose because I couldn't coach them and could not say anything to them. I can't tell my daughter, like, hey, your butterfly stroke's not looking that great right now. I can't do a butterfly. I would drown if you told me to swim a 50 butterfly right now. And so, but I just, I try to like be there for them, you know, hug them after the game. I always kind of talked about after a game or a tournament, I want like my kids to say, hey, dad, can me and my teammates drive back in your car home on this two hour drive? Because they know we'll be listening to good music and we'll have some funny stories and laughs. And I won't ask one question about, hey, you know, what was this play? Or why didn't you pass it? I don't care that much about it. I'm going to support you. I want to bring you there. If you want extra help in finding a specific coach or a trainer, happy to provide all those things for you to chase your dreams on whatever that is. But you've got to tell me what your dreams are, and I'm happy to be helpful, but I'm not going to demand it or make you do something you don't want to do. That's great. Good word. Yeah, helping facilitate that without putting the pressure on it. So that's a tough thing to thread. If you were to look at your phone, music-wise, what's the most embarrassing song you've rolled out? Maybe it's a kid song, a little baby shark on the road going, and we're past that age. We're past that age. Now it would probably be the K-pop Demon Hunters. Okay, we're K-popping. Yeah, we're K-popping. You a fan? You know, it's not that bad. Okay, yeah. Yeah, it's an acquired taste. It gets the energy going. There's some enthusiasm around it. I agree. So there it is. Yeah, I see it on the screen here. You're popping up there. I'm not saying I'm going to know the greatest hits of it, but I got some girls. You jam to it. Some girls, my 10 and 11-year-old daughters, they're definitely popping some K-pop demon hunters for sure. I love that. That's incredible. We actually have more in common than you think, Eli. I'm doubtful. No, no, no. Let me explain. Let me explain. Manning Cast, huge fan myself as a nerd of the game. I'd love to hear you and your brother break down the tape and talk yourself through a football game. But you're not the only one with an Emmy around here. Yeah, me and Gare. Thursday Night Football. Congratulations. Thank you. That's all. I was fishing for the compliment. I appreciate that. Yeah. We hadn't done the Thursday Night Football in a long time. In a couple years, but we used to do it. How much are you enjoying the broadcast side of things? Obviously, it's less strenuous on the body. You don't have to go to the trainer on Monday morning, which must be nice. And if you do, then we've got issues. Hopefully, you're not getting hurt in the Manning cast. But how much fun has that been? It's been a lot of fun. I think it has kept me involved in the game of football. I still get to break down films. I still get to talk to coaches about strategy and concepts. Talk to the current players about what's going on. And so I enjoy that part of it, just kind of seeing what the new trends are around defenses and offensive philosophies and concepts going on. So I enjoy breaking down that and enjoy doing something with my brother. Peyton and I are very close, but he lives in Denver. I live in New Jersey. We've got our kids and our sports. So we don't see each other that much. And this keeps us very, very close. So we talk a bunch during the week just about, you know, funny stories that have happened while we were playing these teams. We get great, you know, kind of text communication. Like he sends me a lot of voice memos. It's this deal like he'll break down a film or things he wants to talk about. He'll send me like this, like, like 20 minute voice memo. And I'm like, who has time to listen to someone talk for 20 minutes? Like it's not a podcast. You know, like I want to I don't want to listen to this. I didn't choose. Like, yes, I want to listen to Peyton Todd for 20 minutes. This is like shows up as a text. And I'm like, I wonder if there's something important. And so my first thing is like, hey, before I listen to this 20 minute voice memo, like, is there a cliff notes? Is there like something important in here that I really need to answer? Or am I just like, listen, he's like, just listen, listen to the voice memo. And I'm like, I listen to it. He says the word ball holder like 28 times. I'm like, you know, my next text is like, hey, great memo. You said ball holder a lot. He's like, that's all you got from that? Like, that's all the response? Like, I asked you a bunch of questions. We had game plans about the guest, different things. I'm like, yeah, but you said ball holder 28 times. I countered him after a while. So, you know, so like funny, like brotherly, just like us ripping on each other. That's awesome. You know, so that's fun. Yeah, sounds a little toxic, which is great for brothers. What did y'all find about the most growing up? You know, again, the five years older. So it's probably me just being the annoying little brother and like sneaking into his room while he's trying to talk to his girlfriend and like me under the bed. Totally. And like, you know, tying his shoes, laces together and all his shoes when he gets in the morning and like all his shoelaces are tied together. And, you know, it's like little little pranks like that is probably more annoying than, you know, that. And so there was no fighting. It probably wasn't really until, you know, so when he went off to college at 18, I was 13. We had nothing in common. And I didn't see him much in college because he was at Tennessee the whole time. It's not like he came home for summer. He was always there. It probably wasn't until I was at Ole Miss. I'm playing football. I could go out and have a beer with him and that we became like real brothers. They're like, hey, we're like best friends now. We can hang out. We can talk football. We can work out together. We can go to dinner. We can actually do common things when we came, not just brothers, but really good friends. Love it. Well, on the same topic, let's play a game, Eli. All right. You and your brother are competitive like we are, so we thought it would be fun to play this little game. We're going to ask you some questions. Rapid fire, tell us if the answer is you or Peyton. All right. Better dancer. Oh, I'm much better. My hips are so loose. Yeah. I can actually see that. I mean, Peyton seems a little stiff, man. With all due respect, who had more rushing yards between y'all two? That's a great question. No one cares. Whoever wasn't in the negative. No one cares. So minute. I had seven rushing yards of his, like 34 maybe. I don't know what it was, but not good either way. But I'm a much better dancer. His is very scripted, and he learned someone else's dance move, and he's trying to do it. No creativity. Yeah, no flow. So who sweats more? Yeah, he wins that one, so I'll give that to him, especially like the armpit. Every once in a while he kind of lifts the arm up, and there's a lot going on down there. What about chews louder? I probably chew louder, yeah. I think there's a couple clips of me chewing some chips. It's kind of loud. Maybe on purpose to annoy him, maybe not, but, yeah, I think I'm a loud chewer. Dresses better? This is a tough one. I think I'm a better dresser than Peyton. Peyton likes a lot of loud colors. He likes his salmons, his oranges, I guess, from the Tennessee. So it's a very, like, he's got a lot of sport coats and jackets that look like, you know, Secretariat's blanket. You know, there's a lot of things going on there. More likely to argue with a youth sports ref? Peyton. Peyton, he's intense about his youth sports. This guy, same. I'm with Peyton on that one. He will yell at a ref. He'll yell at a coach. He embraces controversy and awkwardness where I avoid it at all. He almost thrives off of it. He searches for it. He's looking for it. Seeks it out. Yes, 100%. Who got sent to the principal's office more as a kid? Probably me. Probably me. Peyton was a goody two-shoes. He followed the rules, knew the rules, everything. I was very quiet and shy, yet kind of sneaky and like a good prank. They were like, couldn't be Eli, couldn't have done that. He's like the quiet kid. But I got caught eventually a few times. Operating behind the scenes? Yeah, people with tattletales. I hate a tattletale. Amen. Number one rule in the household, no tattletale. No tattletale. That's a good rule, man. I love it. That's a good rule. Who's more liable to lose their keys? Hmm. Probably, I'd say probably me. He's probably very strict about where he puts his keys every single time. There's like a key spot in his house. Like, I have to put my keys here. He's very, you know, just he's got his rules. He's got his routines. I'm probably a little more freelance on where my keys might go every time. Yeah, I'm like, let's check between the cushions. Let's check. Yeah. You don't have a key spot. I don't have a key spot. My usual spots where they kind of end up, I think. Not with air tags, man. I mean, you don't lose anything. Yeah. Yeah. What about snakes? Who's more scared of them? I hate a snake, so I assume it's me. I don't know what his snake philosophy is, but, yeah, I won't touch a snake. And people are like, oh, that's not dangerous. I'm like, or that's not poisonous. I'm like, they're all poisonous in my mind. I don't, like, oh, yeah, look at the colors. And if they got, like, yellow, they're good. I'm like, I don't care. I see snake. I run. I don't want to touch it. I don't want to get near it. I don't want to feed it. We have a Dude Perfect Outdoor channel, and it's doing, like, python hunting in a couple weeks, and I was asked to go on that one. I was like, yeah, right. No chance on that. No chance on that. Besides being here for the Super Bowl, you're also here because you were the ref of the Toyota Glow-Up Classic, which took place on Wednesday of Super Bowl week. How did the game go? Game went great. We had a bunch of great athletes, these female athletes, all from the Bay Area, kind of an all-star game. And we had some great coaches. Brock Purdy was coaching a team. And Jordan Love. And Puka was in there. Michael Pittman. So I was a ref. And I thought I did a great job as a ref. I didn't know I had this hidden talent as a referee. But it was unbelievable. These girls are phenomenal athletes. They're running around making great catches. They're scrambling around. And so I just love the fact that everything Toyota is doing. supporting flag football and that the fact that it's such a it's such a growing sport and Toyota's pumping a lot of money into it investing in it they put in up to three million dollars into flag football which is impacting you know it's touching you know 300,000 kids are playing flag football because of them and you see the game growing you see it's going to be an Olympic sport in a few years and so I got my you know my youngest son Charlie's playing NFL flag football which is amazing. So I love the fact that, you know, it's just like this is I played flag football growing up and I loved it, but it wasn't that common. Now it's like every kid has the opportunity. Girl, boy, you're playing the game, you're growing the game and they're out there running around. So just think it's amazing that this this sport is growing so much and that Toyota is behind behind the action and helping, you know, so many kids have access to playing. Yeah, it is inclusive. Like the fact that my niece now is getting to play flag football is really cool. I know it's happening in the state of Florida. It's an emerging sport now in colleges. High schools are, you know, getting it into their curriculum. And so it's just it's exciting. And it's a great sport. And, you know, everybody's just, you know, especially on the girls' side, the fact that there wasn't an opportunity for them to play football in any way. And they're unbelievable athletes. And I remember I was talking as my ref last night. I guess you're not supposed to maybe talk to the players and ask them their opinion on what plays they're running. But I just couldn't help it. And I was like talking to the quarterback. And I was like, hey, I hear you're telling people you can throw the ball further than me. She's like, yeah, I can. I haven't been telling people that, but I definitely can. I'm like, I believe you. I saw that quarter. You just threw it. That was pretty good. That's amazing. Putting your ref ability to the test here, you're the ref of the Buffalo Bills-Denver Broncos game. Yeah. Was it a catch? It was not a catch. I was watching the game, and I was going through it, and I said, it would have been like a Manning cast. I'm like with my pals and watching the game, and I'm like, oh, my God, this is like a really weird scenario because you have to complete the catch. That is the rule in the NFL. You have to complete the catch. And so as you went down, boom, he hits the ground. He's not down. He has not completed catch yet. And kind of the quick roll and the ball is taken out, and now it's in the other guy's hands. And I'm like, that's going to be an interception. You can't call that a catch and down. If the ball popped out at that point, it would have been incomplete. And so the fact that it rolled over and it never hit the ground, they've got to call this an interception. And that's just the rule. It's just like, you know, sometimes there's just like those weird plays. And it's like, that was just a very bizarre, unbelievable play on both sides. And the way it, the way it worked out, that's just, it was an interception and what you call it unfortunate or fortunate, just, it is what it is. And that's just kind of sports. Sometimes you know weird things happen that you know there not a specific rule that just for that scenario And it just so Yeah I think they made the right call Yeah. What's the old saying in baseball? You see something new at the park every day type thing. I don't envy a ref's job. I know that I'm easy to criticize them, but I don't envy their gig. So you're not you're not going to be ad hoc-y Lee or anything like that. Anytime soon, you're staying out of that world. I'm on the ref's side. So I think they have a tough job. I was always very, very polite, kind to a referee. As you should be. I actually read this the other day, just kind of talking about referees and new sports and being around it. A town in New Jersey is around baseball. As a parent, if you are hard on the umpire and kind of go above the line, then you are kicked out of the park and not allowed back into that park until you get your qualifications to be an ump. That's awesome. And you have to ump two games. That's right. And then you're allowed back in. I'm like, that is the greatest rule in the world. That's a great rule, dude. New Jersey? Yeah, in New Jersey. Perhaps the state of New Jersey. Yeah, if you're hard on a ref for a basketball ref at a youth basketball game, no, no, you're out, and you have to go ref a few games, and then you figure it out and have some appreciation for what's going on here. They might be kicked out of every arena in Dallas-Fort Worth. You've got to go up some games. You've got to go ref some games and understand what it's like to be there. You may not be allowed 200 feet within the FC Dallas. Dude, bad. Well, man, let's play another game. You have a new show called Eli at the Movies where you break down iconic sports movies. First, tell us about the show. Yeah, it's on my YouTube channel. And the idea, like, I'm a movie buff. And growing up, my brothers, we loved watching movies. And obviously, there's some great sports movies. And just the idea of kind of re-watching them and finding a few of the clips that, you know, maybe like a little bizarre, a little odd, a little funny, and kind of doing a deep dive into that. Just kind of growing up around these, but, you know, did a couple. Got some other ones, you know, coming out soon. Do some with my brother Coop, which was a lot of fun because we, you know, grew up watching these movies together, and now we get to break down some of the funny ones. So, yeah, it's a fun little project to get to do with some of my pals. So here's how the game works. Okay. We're going to give you five sports movies, but it's going to be a blind ranking. Each movie that's unveiled, you're going to put them one through five, five being the worst, one the best. Got it. And then the next one will appear. Good to go? I'm good. All right. Let's unveil that first movie. Mighty Ducks. Mighty Ducks. I got some hockey players. Mighty Ducks was really good, but I think there's going to be better. I'm going to go four. Okay. Wow. Calm Cool Collected Four. Next movie. Remember the Titans. Remember Titans was Sunshine. I like Sunshine. John, good lefty quarterback. I was a Gary Bursier guy. Someone argue this is the greatest sports movie of all time. I disagree. Really? I'll tell you what my favorite is. I don't know if it's going to be on this list. I don't think it's going to be on this list. So remember the Titans. We'll go two. Okay. Two. Just in case you're putting – Yeah, you got to get – Yeah. Ooh, Rocky. Rocky. Rocky is good. I mean, Rocky is just, you know, the true underdog, the Italian stallion. And it was just, it was, I mean, I can watch Rocky every time it's on. Like, you're definitely watching him. I'm going one. Okay. I like it. I'm going one. Like it. Wow. Was that the movie? Was that your favorite movie? No. So I'm assuming it's not on here. Miracle. Miracle. Miracle. Miracle is good. You know, again, I have some hockey girls. so we've been watching Miracle a lot obviously Al Michaels on the call yeah, Blake Placidate do you believe in Miracles? yes, I do Olympics, such a great story so I already got one and two, so we'll go three three, alright in natural fashion, here comes your favorite movie of all time, that's going to have to be penciled on the last spot Little Giants I think Little Giants that actually is a fair ranking at five I think it's a fair ranking at five It is a fair ranking. I mean, I love the annexation of Puerto Rico. Yeah, one of the best play calls. One of the great plays of all time. But, you know, Ed O'Neill in there is the coach of the opposing. So, you know, I think Little Giants at five. It is a fan favorite around the household, especially with my little son. But I think I did a pretty good – I think that's a pretty fair ranking. It is. Yeah, it is a fair ranking. What's your favorite movie, sports movie? Hoosiers. Hoosiers. Ah, great one. Jimmy Chitwood, man. Jimmy Chitwood. you know Hoosiers is so good even though you watch it now like some some like even like legit sports movies like actually Miracle did a good job of like not having like these awkward like that play would like never happen where a guy throws a duck and then all of a sudden it changes to a spiral dribbling or like it looked like real basketball going on like I like I thought Jimmy was you know could not miss a shot like the shot looked good and uh everything looked pretty legit It's a great movie. Major League also is another. I do love Major League. Major League is good. You don't see many R-rated sports movies. That's the difference. It's not for everybody. You have to earn the right to get old enough to appreciate some of that. You have to earn the right to watch Ricky Vaughn take the mound. As a Texas boy, Friday Night Lights for me. The realism it plays, the Texas high school football scene that we grew up in, that one's my favorite for sure. Great book. Read the book growing up. Yeah. Where would you have ranked Air Bud? Air Bud? It would have made the top five. No, Air Bud's not one of my top five. I agree. Yeah, we're talking about realism. It's hard to believe, you know, old golden retrievers hitting the floater from the Pareto line. That one didn't really resonate with me. All right, so Rocky came in at one. Remember the Titans, two. Miracle, three. Solid top three. Mighty Ducks, four. Little Giants, rounded it out. It's a good list. Fair ranking. I think I got it right. Fair ranking. I got it right. Yeah. Well, we are called almost athlete. Yeah. Did you ever have a moment in your youth sporting career where you had an embarrassing fail or just a moment where you wanted to get away that sticks out to you? You're like, maybe, you know what? I'm not cut out to be an athlete. Yeah, I did. Baseball. Baseball. I played a lot of youth baseball growing up. I played basketball. Finished my basketball career through high school and loved it. I was a pretty good basketball player. baseball i could kind of like take or or or not take baseball like kind of you know could come and go um and so i was it was probably my sophomore year going into my junior year this summer baseball you know playing like american legion and metro and playing for your school and i wasn't starting that that game and all of a sudden i kind of got put in and and like hey you're gonna play first base uh you know today and i kind of just played the infields when someone's pitching I kind of took their spot. And my brother, Peyton, was actually at this game, which made it even worse. So I'm playing first base. I didn't have a first-place mitt, so I barred somebody's. I think it was, like, brand new. So they hit, like, a pop fly. It's going to be foul ball, first baseline. Kind of go out there, just hits a glove, drops it. So, like, that's embarrassing. Next time they hit a little, you know, got one out. I got them first. They hit a ground ball to shortstop. short to second base on a current double two around the inning dropped the ball just like just dropped it i don't know why it just popped out of the glove so bad finally get out of the you know half inning go to bat two outs i get up i'm lefty um you know take take two strikes right down the middle just like fastball just like no not that that one that was that was right down the middle another fastball down the middle so third one comes it's kind of low i do like a little check swing, but the ball gets past the catcher. So I don't know if they're like a swing, not swing. Is it drop third strike? So I start booking down the first. I'm running down the first. Catcher throws it in the right field. I pass the first baseman. So now I'm going to second. I'm going to turn this little walk, drop third into a double. I'm running to second. I'm about to get there. I see they're going to throw me out. Getting a run down. Slide back in the first base. I'm safe. I'm safe. Oh, get it up. I'm like fired up on the base and then the home ump and like the third base off they're like no no he didn't swing he didn't swing i gotta go back to the home plate strike right down the middle looking i'm out and i'm just like not my thing i'm never playing baseball again and that was my last game i quit i quit the next week and i you know couldn't be happier yeah so that was my final my final baseball moment well despite your baseball blunders we here at almost athlete consider you a full-blown athlete so no worries thank you appreciate you taking the time everybody give it up for eli manning we were lucky enough to be in san francisco for super bowl week just being there was pretty awesome for us it was but imagine how huge a moment would be at the super bowl if you were a player it's got to be the highlight of their lives but it's really just part of the journey that began for them long ago. That's right. Sometimes I like to imagine what greatness looked like on day one. What was it like the first time Puka Nakua caught a ball or NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace stepped behind the wheel? Before the trophies and the glory, every champion was just a kid with a dream, and Toyota is proud to support them along the way. The Team Toyota athlete trains alongside their pint-sized younger selves. Many coaches who push, motivate, and remind the world class athletes why they started. Even the most famous athletes in the world can still use a little motivation. Man, imagine how cool it must be for those kids to have Paralympic gold medal winner Oxana Masters giving you tips. Every great destination has a beginning and we celebrate those committed to the journey. Toyota, let's go places. We had a great time in San Francisco talking to Eli Manning, but it was a whirlwind. I did barely make it to the airport. It wouldn't have been the first time you missed the flight. So of course I was starving when I got to San Fran, but thanks So DoorDash, I had some great local Mexican food waiting for me at the studio. DoorDash also helped get us those whiteboards and markers for the shoot so we could use them to rank your almost athlete videos. When you're busy and on the go, DoorDash is a lifesaver. It's like having a personal assistant ready to help 24 hours a day. And as a parent, I can't tell you how necessary that is. Instead of taking my kids on hours of errands, I have plenty of time to play with them. And sometimes I even have time for myself. Speaking of DoorDash, G, what should we get for lunch today? Come on, Spark. We just ate breakfast. I'll check back in with you in about a half an hour. When life gets crazy, DoorDash helps bring a little order to it. Saturday is Valentine's Day, so it's only fitting that we are joined by two of the dudes' wives. Please welcome Allison and Bethany. Hey, how are you, ladies? How we doing? Wow, we're in the red. Look at that. Very Valentine's theme, ladies. Yeah. First time on the pod, Al. How's it feel? It feels good. It does? Happy to be here. Yeah. Feels good for now. It's pretty bright. It is hot. It is hot in here. It does get a little more of an AC in here. Y'all didn't dress for the occasion. Yeah, I feel that. Where's your Valentine's Day? To be honest, I didn't know we were filming a Valentine's app today. I wore what I usually wear every day. Shorts, a hat, and a t-shirt. Because you have favorites. No, don't. Because you have patterns. No. Ladies, how much does V-Day mean at this point in your career? Nothing. Really? Nothing. Nothing. It doesn't do anything for you. I mean, I would like to get flowers, but that's like it. So that's something. Yeah, but I don't need. There's an expectation. You can't say nothing and then be like, it'd be nice to get flowers and a car. That's true. If I got nothing, I would be sad. I will. Yeah. You're right. You're right. Okay. I'm sorry. Allison? I would be upset to get nothing. Would you be upset to get just like a little something? I mean, like I want something. Like I want flowers or like jewelry. I mean, like I'll take a handbag. If it didn't work out. Higher bar on that side. What she won't take is me going at midnight the night before to Market Street and buying all the Valentine's stuff they have left and then putting it on the table for the morning because she's like, that was last minute. No, that was most Valentine's days, though, which I actually like. That was a decade. Market Street has a great last minute selection. Shout out Market Street. You guys have really come in clutch a lot of times. It's right there by the door in and out, dude. Oh, it's perfect. Express checkout. We would take an animal. Totally take an animal. We would take an animal. Any animal. Any animal. Too big animal. Oh, I thought you meant take the animal to Market Street. You're saying to take an animal as a gift. Yeah, Tyler got me like another chicken or like a rabbit, another rabbit. How many chickens are we at? Another. See, that's the key word. Another. How many chickens? How many are we at, babe? I think we have 12. We have four teenagers driving. I thought we had three teenagers. No, we have four. And then we've got two of our bougie chickens, Beans and Birdie. And then she said it. And then the big girls are at the ranch with Ranch Luke. There's three chickens, four chickens in our garage. Oh, the HOA doesn't know. You can live in your garage. They're house pets. I've got it. We're raising them until they're ready to go to the coop at the ranch. So they're not. Don't yell at us. They're in our garage. No, it doesn't count. We're going to get a letter. It's fine. All right, Sporky. Sorry. I was just like, what an interesting contrast here. Like one wants a chicken. The other one's chocolate. She'll take another hairless animal. It's a quiet spectrum. Any hairless. I don't know. I kind of cap it at two, though. If you have more than two hairless, it's just like a lot. Yeah. you're two for two right now when spike dies we'll get another hairless cat yeah we're big cat people so that's new that checks out y'all have almost as many animals as we do well i don't know you just how many chickens do you have well i know but they they're like lump them together but like you have a bird three four children and four pets yeah 10 living things under my roof yeah that's a lot of responsibility Cody. We could always use more. Oh, my only thing that I told the dudes if I were to pass away early was to make sure that you don't own 11 cats. I could. I, I like them in my bed. Like when I come in after a long day, I'm like, Oh honey. And I have that like big furry blanket. If anything happens to them together, we'll just move in and we can just raise cats and dogs. We'll just have like a sanctuary. It's really comforting. I love It's a TLC show waiting to happen. It is. Are we going to dress the jeans today? You got a new vibe going. No, I just thought to jean it up. It's a lack of laundry done. We don't have a hot day for Valentine's Day now. Dressing up? No, not really. Not really, but maybe? No, not even a maybe. You and your Xbox are going to have a late night. First in the off chance I run into somebody outside the office today. Got it. You know? Got it. So safe to say it's catered to the kids at this point. Valentine's? We have three boys. They don't care. ferret's birthday is on the 11th so that's the focus that's our february date got it y'all yeah we go all out for the kids yeah i try to just focus on the girls allison and the two daughters but then eason's the only one not getting something and now we have hay so it's like i kind of throw in a couple things for them like a hot wheel yeah any great stories from valentine's past epic fails i mean i feel like we've gone like the work day and you oh yeah but i always show up with something. Even if it's a last minute Market Street stop. I've sent you a link for the flowers I want. We just get out in front of it. Hey, what do you want? Send me the link. Got it. Boom. Done. Expectations are met. That's pretty good. Let's not beat around the bush. After 15 years of marriage, you just tell the man what you want. There's no loss of expectations. This year, the five of us will actually be celebrating together at the NBA All-Star Game for the weekend in LA. It'll be a family Valentine's. I like that. I'm going to crash one of y'all's dinner. Come on. Come on. Come on. Saturday nighter. Yeah. Is that cool? That's totally fine. I was thinking, like, last year things were just weird because you ordered online, and so they all came in at, like, really weird times. Like, one came in, like, February 1st, and I was like, and he didn't tell me they were coming, so I opened it. I'm like, what is this strange flower in this weird box with this little chocolate? And she's like, oh, that was for Landry. I was like, okay. They all just came in. That's so true. So was that too much preparation? Was that too far in advance? It was just confusing because there was no names or like. I was trying to help you out. Figure out where your window to buy is. I filled my cart with like five different flower bouquets for all the kids. But I think you put in the wrong dates. Well, I don't know what happened. I think some flowers peaked at certain days and it just, it wasn't good. It was a whole month of Valentine's Day. And I was like, so that was the Valentine's Day. Nice. You went over and above. It was a month long Sally. Yeah, it was great. That's weird for you to be two weeks early. Well, you know, let's be honest. Let me ask you this. What dude couple not present right here goes the most all out for Valentine's Day? It's got to be Corey. I would say Corey and Amy. Garrett's anti. He's a big like, she doesn't want Valentine's people. Not going to happen. He celebrates every day probably. Yeah, that's what he says. Corey and Amy, easy. Yeah, 100%. I would say easy. I actually don't know what they do, but I would say they probably are going to a good restaurant. Yeah. When Bora Bora's your honeymoon, it's just you got to keep that going. The Bora Bora bar is a hard one. We went Sandals Antigua. Hey, we got you one. Wyndham, Daytona Beach, Florida. Because it was my grandma's timeshare, and she had no points because my cousin used them all in Mexico. There you go. Our only restaurant we ate was at Quiznos. We were so poor. That's a good restaurant from the bottom, and now look at us. Look at you. Look at you. In a sweatsuit. Well, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to have a fun Valentine's game. But before we do that, I've got a couple announcements to get to. Tour tickets, they're going fast. Make sure to grab those. Be on the lookout for some teaser guest announcements coming soon. Squad games, 22 new cities, new show, and supposedly Tim's dropping a fire sizzle on the socials. So be on the lookout for that. Minigames launched on Saturday. Thought that was a really fun vid. It's performing well. Colty Bud was very excited that the video was performing well. With him in the intro. It was such a good clip. He probably thinks it's all because of him. It might be. We'll let him know that. At least give him the confidence. The future of Dude Perfect is secure. Yeah, very much so. What else we got on the docket? Ooh, wives, Airsoft Battle. Oh, yeah, ladies. I cannot believe y'all signed up for this. We didn't sign up for it. You were forced? We were told. Signing up? Voluntold. Yeah, so our Airsoft series, wildly popular, but y'all have never participated in one. It's going to be dudes and their wives versus each other, which is drama-infused drama. I can't wait to watch it, but I'm just shocked y'all signed up to play. Well, I think it's still on them a little bit. They may have been voluntold for this one, but it's technically their fault because they performed so well in all sports golf with the wives that the people were like, we want more. They did give them more. So we said, OK, so we got a great docket lined up for you guys. Our group text is mainly about our outfits. But yeah, not really about strategy. You have a group text. So I hope the outfits cover all exposed skin. What? Yeah. Wait, say that again. For Airsoft Battle, I hope the outfits cover pretty much every part of it. Oh, so we don't want exposed skin. You don't want exposed skin in Airsoft Battle. Yeah, wow. Okay. It's going like Tomb Raider over here. I'm like, don't worry, a princess. Until you eat at Airsoft. That's coming. No, we're going to be like padded up. It hurts a little bit. You get like a bruise? It doesn't feel good. Turtleneck. Not as bad as I like that. Yeah. Really? Paintball, but it does hurt. Tyler's a scarf? What are they called? A turban? Depends who's shooting at you, too. Yeah, but shouldn't y'all not hit us because it's our balloons? Well, I'm going to do with you. Yeah, it's like Mario Kart version. They're going to shoot at us. That's going to be a fun one, though. We'll see. Yeah, we'll see, indeed. In the spirit of the holiday, we're going to play the Dulywed Game. This segment is brought to you by DoorDash. When life gets crazy, DoorDash helps bring a little order to it. Pass these whiteboards around. You didn't mention it, but I do have a big mark on my nose. Oh, yeah, I noticed that. You said basketball training. Acne scar. Yeah, I was dunking, and my nose hit the rim. And it's not true. It bled for like a little too hard there. Why don't you tell them what really happened? I had a lot of accessories on my Cybertruck. It makes it difficult to put trash. So I had to lift my bed cover, and it came up, and I forgot it was there, and I just doinked it right on the nose. I would go with the dunking story. That sounded a lot better. Have you not seen it recently? Spare tire in case it's flat. This is a side note. For Barrett's birthday, he would actually love it if he got to ride in your Cybertruck. Let's do it. Let's coordinate. That's his big present. That's his big present. That's his big present. That's his big present. That's his big present. That's his big present. That's his big present. That's his big present. That's his big present. Cody Jones driving around. That's really funny. They don't want to ride around in my little A3. He hasn't asked. You're making that thing sound smarter. Sean's way cooler than it is in A3. He does sound cooler than it is in A3. He has a 95.03. freshly backed into a three-pack bumper. Oh, man. Anyhow, Dooley Wed Game. I'm going to ask a question. You'll take turns guessing how your partner is going to answer using the dry erase boards. If you match, you get a point, and the loser has to door dash a box of chocolates to the winner. So everybody will write an answer, both couples, and then we'll compare. You get a matching answer, you get a point. If not, that's fair? I don't like that. That's fair. All right, let's play. I'm answering like that. The Dooley Wed Game. Sorry. The first question is for the ladies. Ladies answering only. What does your husband think he's better at than he is? You know. This is so easy and so relevant. Bethany's off to a slow start here. Really thinking. Don't overthink. You good? I think she's good. Ladies are going to reveal in three, two, one. Bethany goes with laundry. Allison goes volleyball. Why would I write volleyball? Because you think you're super good at it. I am. I am not. I have a trophy. That is so random. From high school. Literally yesterday, the girls are learning to play volleyball, and Cody was upstairs. He's like, give me the ball. I'll show him. I'll show him. I was like, you don't know form. You don't know. We saw that in squad games. We did. Oh, that is so funny. Cody didn't put them in the right spots. He's like, oh, volleyball, dude, we'll wreck them. Won't even be close. What? That's so true. Well, he was right about that. It wasn't close. It wasn't close. Because you're tall? Yes, I'm good. That's why you think you're good? I know I'm good. Huh. He's not. I feel like me and Cody should have been partners here. Agreed. Set it up. Here we go. What's yours? Oh, hunting. Oh, he put hunting. You always say, you're like, wow, you've been like 20 times and you got one deer? That's true. It's hard. I put basketball because I've been training like crazy and I think that I'm good enough for the NBA and you're like, you're not that good. That's a good, yeah. Because we're trying to win the game. Definitely you think you're better at volleyball than you are, though. You are decent at basketball. I can't believe you didn't go here. I can't believe you didn't go here. Those are too generic guys because you have no say this all the time to me Yeah you right I felt like I would have hurt your feelings if I would have said that This is an open and honest Okay Okay Good Now we know We going to go raw Raw Hit me with the next one. You thought I would write volleyball. I mean, we literally were talking about yesterday. That's funny. You were talking about it. I was trying to give actual instruction. I think it's because you actually still think you're good. She YouTubed a video of how to serve. Well, yeah, I don't I didn't play volleyball. So moving on. She's on to something. Okay, this one's for Cody and Tyler. Y'all will reveal first. What habit of yours annoys your wife the most? What habit of yours annoys your wife the most? I've got it. I've got it. No hesitation. I've got it. Easy one. Again, the simple game. I don't know. I think I'm getting stuck on the word habit. You can write. I'm already locked in. Okay. What thing do I do that annoys you the most? Easy answer. Hey, careful over there. I said the question. Okay. I had to spell check. What? Now? Go. I don't have to spell check mine. No, go. You're fine. I just don't know if this is a habit, so it's getting me stuck. That's good, Allison. It's definitely annoying. We're on the same page. We're on the same page. We're on the same page. Okay, boys will flip in three, two, one. Snoring. Toots and rips. Toots and rips. I could put that because it's involuntary at night when I'm sleeping. And she wakes up and is like, quit tooting. I'm like, I'm asleep. Didn't you leave the bed one time because it was so bad? Yeah, Landry told us, Landry's our nine-year-old. She said, if Daddy ever toots too much, I can always sleep in her bed. And I was like, thank you, Landry. And she meant it, like, genuinely. I got you, Mom. Toots and rips. Toots and rips, rips and toots. Ladies, go ahead and reveal. A ding, ding, ding for Bethany. Dude, it's clogged up gas. You've got to get out. I didn't know if I could write. I mean, that's better than being a Cody, and then it's just like leaking out all night. At least you know when it's coming. No, it's like I know you're awake because it's the first thing I hear coming out of your body. It's your alarm clock. Literally. And I just am like, or right before bed. Like, I don't understand. And then it's like in our sheets and it just gets trapped. That's why I try and do like a lift and then like make it go out my size. Sometimes she'll pull the covers up, which sucks it all in. And then the airflow goes right to her. But at home, you'll have the king size beds. They just go into the air. My problem is on tour, my bunk is above his. So they go into my curtain all night long. Yeah, I'm so sorry. It's sometimes I'll reach out and lift his curtain open. Yeah, it's so mean. It does. It does do that. do i snore a lot yes that's what i wrote snoring i got better i got the tape thing no it's terrible i mean it's better than it was it's bad do you need like the yes you need the mask i had the surgery i breathed better oh i mean the toots are annoying too i could have written that i could have written that point and a point we're off and running let's go question number three this is for allison and bethany if you could set one item of your husband's clothes on fire, what would it be? Done. She said done. Beth with a quick done call. Do you still own them? Oh, I know exactly. Oh, I know. Well, I sometimes throw Cody's stuff away when he's not looking. I never know. And he's like, where's my? And I'm like, I don't know. You must have lost it. I'm not as confident about this one. Oh, you should be. The girls are locked and loaded. Cody finishing his answer. I think you're going to. I like to draw a picture underneath it just to really hammer it home. Good? Yeah. Okay, ladies will reveal in 3, 2, 1. What is that? Duck sweat shirt? And fanny pack for Cody. Oh, that's good. Boys, go ahead and reveal. Oh, she's throwing away so many. I knew you were going to say that. Boys, you're right. Chains. Chains. Oh, my chains. Oh, that. Yeah, I don't like the chains. The ice cream cone. Sometimes he, like, triple layers them. I'm like, too many chains. It's a lot. My duck sweatshirt. I should have gone there. I should have gone fanny pack. But you love that too much. I love it. I don't, when we were first. You did throw that away. So you couldn't set it on fire because you threw it away. No, you got it out of the trash. You tried to wear it again. Right, right. And it was ripped, remember? And then I was like, well, that's God's sign of saying get rid of it. We're synced up, though. Zero, war, and zero. No, your camera Crocs when we were first married drove me crazy. And I used to throw them in the yard to see if Sadie would just chew them. That's amazing. No bitch, girl. Yeah. See, at least she gives the Crocs a chance. You throw mine in the trash. At least give it to a dog. Don't worry. Yeah. And now they're popular. Now they're, yeah. All your stuff came around. Yeah. Chains, Crocs. I mean, that's pro hat, toots and rips. Those are in right now. They were tied. On to question four. One to one is our score. This is for Cody and Tyler. What is your wife's favorite emoji? Favorite emoji. Hmm. Hmm. This is a tough one because I don't even think she has a favorite emoji. I mean, I don't really send you emojis. I know what my favorite emoji is to my friends I know, it also doesn't really emoji much I don't even know if I could like, do I draw it? Can I look up the emoji that I'm attempting to draw? Yes How do you find your emojis again? Oh, I found them How do you find your emojis? 40's gonna hit hard, brother I have mine I'm not gonna get this right, but it at least Opens up a hot topic Okay Okay A hot, steamy topic. What emojis do I use? Oh. Steamy. Hot and steamy. I'm guessing it's not a sauna. No, it is not. All right, boys. You got your answer? And that is probably the one I use the most, too. Oh, that's actually one. The face palm. Yeah. I went poop emoji because she doesn't use emojis. That looks like a Harry Potter hat. Sorting hat. I'm not a Harry Potter guy. That looks like poop to me. I'm not a Harry Potter guy. It's too pointy and uniform. Look it up. it's more like soft serve swirls yeah but not the emoji it looks like a witch hat that's about type in poop emoji that should be oh you forgot the smiley face what you were doing okay with the point is more soft serve i think i nailed that that should be maybe a minus a quarter point for him just for a bad emoji drawing but if i'm home but not near her she'll send me this because that means haze our two-year-old has a poopy diaper and she doesn't do poopy diapers when i'm available If he's available. Yeah. I'm not going to let him walk around and poop all day. Just to clarify. Unless Dad's home in like 20 minutes. And then I'm like, yeah, I think we can wait. Sure. That's good. Okay, ladies, go ahead and flip your boards. Do we have any matches? Bethany went with like the yikes emoji. I said don't use them, but maybe the roll dies. I feel like all my eyes should have. Yeah, we do use that one every once in a while. The yikes. So like, ooh. He's got his binder sign. He said, yo, mama, to the teacher. Oh. Which is a true story. We did have a Yo Mama teacher last week. Yeah, I heard that one. He got in the car and he was like, Mom, I got my binder sign. I said Yo Mama to the art teacher and she didn't like it. Under what context? I thought it was funny. I don't really know. We don't know the context. It just said Yo Mama. If you go with your work and he's like, Yo Mama. It could have been worse. Well, I'm glad you went Yo Mama. It could have been you. Yeah. But kids at home, I would not Yo Mama. We don't encourage that. Don't ever say that to a teacher. We don't encourage that. That's so good. Still nodded up. 1-1. This feels like the Super Bowl right now. Low scoring, but close. This one's for Allison and Bethany. What song will most likely get your husband on the dance floor? What's the song? We know Ryan Walsh's song. I'm tempted to look, but I'm not. That's good. That's really good. I should have done that. You can change it. I feel like Cody knows my answer to this. Really? This is the only song that came to my head. Girls, we ready? Yeah. Go ahead and reveal those answers. Yeah, we're ready. Every song. Every song. I'm sure for Bethany and Allison goes with every song. I have never seen Cody nod on a dance floor. He does not not participate. It's like the songs draw me to the floor. I don't even want to dance. It's just like I have to. Yeah. And I was going to go, yeah, Bethany. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It would be my song. Pour some sugar on me. Yeah. Yeah. We use the sugar packets and we pour them on each other when we're at weddings. But no one plays that at weddings. Guys, if you have what you feel like may be a lackluster wedding coming up, invite me codes and we will turn that thing away. We will slide on your knees through each other's legs. Choreograph dance. I mean, it's beautiful. We can pour some sugar. We just were at a wedding. I wish they played pour some sugar on me. I danced in YouTube. So I had to go dance with people I didn't know. Because I didn't want to make it about me. It was not my wedding. I didn't want to steal away attention. Fresh off a Saturday wedding, you'd think y'all would match up. That's crazy. That's crazy. Well, he didn't dance. Can I get the eraser? Sorry. Still tied up at one. This is wild. This is not a good look for us. You didn't think you chose the wrong life partners here. Me and Bethany needed a hack time. I think Tyler should be dating Cody. I feel like it should be. I actually, because literally they both knew each other. He's like, Tyler knows. Tyler knows the answer. We have a similar personality. They have a similar personality. Yes, opposite the track. This one's for the boys. What's your wife's TV guilty pleasure? Ooh. TV guilty pleasure. It's not the Cowboys, I don't think. Oh, yes. This is pretty easy, I think. They're pretty synced up over there. Yeah, but. No, he's not going to get it. See, we're good because we watched the show last night. Oh, she's already done. Already locked in. Already locked in. Already locked in. Yes, I think we're going to take the lead, babe. Yeah, I think you are. I kind of did three in levels of specificity. Is that a word? Interesting. Yeah. Hey. Oh, my goodness. Okay. Go ahead and flip the boards, boys. Oh, boys. I wrote the new show we started watching. It's called Traitor. Okay. Ten friends or 20 going to a room. Dude. two get picked to be traitors and you don't know who it is and they have to deceive one another. Is it reality? And it uses like past reality stars. They basically like play Mafia. It's really good. I said Netflix is the broad one. Okay. Anything crime show and then Handmaid's Tale is the only show that I could think of. That's good. If she has any of those, I'll allow it. I agree. Ladies flip. Netflix. We have a ding ding train. Oh, crime! Crime! That was my second level of specificity. That's good. Two to two. Yeah. We need to tell you three answers. That was a little, I agree, that was a little questionable. I'll try and be more specific on my choices. We're at sudden death now. Whoever gets sudden death. Next correct answer wins do or die time. Cody and Tyler, what's the subject or topic of the silliest fight you've ever had? I vaguely remember one, but I don't even remember specifics about it. That's good. That's probably a good thing that you're so nonconfrontational that you're having a hard time dipping into the memory bank for an argument. But I know one from y'all. Really? You wouldn't know the one that I'm thinking of. I don't remember what it was about, but I remember what I did afterwards. That was silly. Can I write that? I mean, we're not going to get it right. Think. Use your head. Oh, my God. now this right then oh my goodness that's great though if that really was the genesis of it was a big one oh yeah the silliest ones always turn the biggest this one was a big one that stayed into a big one oh gosh now i'm nervous oh i've got one but you don't you wouldn't know this but this is from marriage counseling so it's like this is opening up words no who reveals first here hold on i'm not done she's writing the story out and so it all started on a tuesday night tuesday night you didn't text back you ordered pizza that's a long story she's getting emotional she's crying now she's laughing okay guys reveal first guys reveal first i can go first because i got to explain a little bit okay Okay, this was six months ago. Allison and Hayes and Easton came to the office, and me and Corey got into a basketball fight. And we had to deal with it on the podcast for episode one. I literally, you know I was there. Oh, you were there. I was sitting on the couch. Yeah, it was bad. And I thought it was, I thought they were filming for like stereotypes. Like a rage monster. It was real. Should have used that, Cody. Not bad. Hey, we're just filming a rage scene. And I got up, and I walked into the offices, and I think Luke was at his desk, and I was like, i'm uncomfortable so i'm just gonna come stand by you and he was like okay okay i did not because i don't that then but that was to do with allison though well silly because we talked about on the podcast okay okay i was really angry you were oh yeah she visually had to see that she visually you were here too i was here i saw it i left the office with the boys i didn't know come home one of the boys that's like you've probably seen worse and i'm like i have never seen worse. And then I like left. I didn't even know you were here too. No, I heard tires. I was like, Justin from Martin. No, that's Allison. She was doing squirming tires. I might have. Wow. Marky's on to something. Okay, I went with a pretty basic one. I just hate her parents. What? I'm kidding. I'm kidding. You got me. You do. Perfect. I love Rick and Barbie. Best in-laws you could asked for we got in a this was early on in marriage we got i don't remember what it was about it but it was something about condiments ketchup or mustard or something it was a big fight about something small don't even remember what it was i have no recollection of that this was like one of our first ones sudden death like if which one's better no it was like some like maybe like where do you keep it or in the fridge like if it's i don't know yeah because we keep do y'all keep ketchup and mustard in the refrigerator you have one's opened oh yeah why don't you open it i think you didn't keep touching it. Which one of y'all is nasty? That wasn't it. I don't know what it was, but it was silly, by the way. That's serious. I don't think we have a match here. Let's go ahead and flip. Where the fruit goes in the fridge. I actually cried over this. I put things anywhere in the fridge. Don't care. I just put them in the fridge. Cody likes a fridge-like fruit. Top row's my stuff. Kids can't reach it. It's all my protein, healthy snacks. Next row, community. milk vegetables yogurt next is children's food because they can reach it got it yeah it was a big fight and i was like how about i'm like cutting strawberries and just putting them wherever i want and then he disagreed oh yeah it's still i guess it still kind of burns yeah yeah i can tell there's some i want to own stuck with you yeah it's some aloe vera i don't miss strawberries anymore yeah i wouldn't either uh bethany go ahead okay yours um when tyler gave me the flat pillow and took the nice one for himself. Sounds like a Tyler move. So we had to, this was recent. We had to, um, leave our bedroom because one of our sons had an accident in our bed. And so we were having to strip the sheets and all that means that he's sleeping in the bed. Huh? Is it safe to assume that he sleeps in the bed? Oh yeah. They always kind of. Okay. And, um, so more than one. Okay. We do have an A size bed. So it's a huge bed. For family things? One of them will come in almost every night. Last night was Colty Bud. And this was also Colty Bud. So he came in, had an accident. So he wakes me up. So I'm already frustrated. So we stripped the sheets. It's probably like 3 a.m. So I'm like, all right, we're going to go sleep in Rhett's room because he doesn't sleep in there. Where does Rhett sleep? In the guest room. Got it. That's where they all sleep. They don't like their own bedroom. This is weird. It's weird. Sorry. Okay. and so i'm like putting the sheets in the laundry and he's already in bed okay so i'm like mad that i'm awake because i can't fall back asleep easily so i'm like i'm gonna be up till it's time for school um so i come in and i lay my head oh it wasn't the flat one it was the hard one you gave me like the rock we have this you know how do you know what pillow she likes you know really So I lay my head down, and it was this, like, rock-hard pillow. Which I think you ordered. Yeah, I don't know why we have this pillow. It is literally a rock. So I thought, well, she probably likes this one, because I certainly don't. So I gave it to her, and I took the... But I knew he had moved it, because I had slept in Rhett's bed the night before, because we were getting our bedroom painted, and he was out of town. So I had to sleep somewhere else because of the fumes. so i knew that my pillow was in his spot so when i get into the bed i was like you took my pillow and he was like and he starts laughing which didn't happen he took the pillow i unleashed fury out of my mouth you should have she was pretty upset i called him i think i told you you were the most selfish human being i've ever encountered yeah i had guilt when after i said that because i just laid my head down and then he left early the next day and i had the thought of i hope that's not going to be the last thing that i ever said to him because i was so mad i was like you were the most selfish human being you just took you took the good pillow for yourself and gave me the rock hard she liked that he's getting giggled anyway giggled no points we need a tiebreaker yeah we do so rat was in the room but he's i know it's confusing in our house Okay. No one sleeps in their own bed. Okay. For the ladies, how often does your husband floss every week? Closest answer wins. Weekly floss. Actually still your floss though. So that means you do floss. I'm locked in. Do you consider the dance move floss part of the number? I'm locked in. I'm locked in. We're locked. Do we reveal at the same time for this one? I think we do. As a tiebreaker, everybody reveals simultaneously. We good? Three, two, one, bang. zero zero once a month she put daily question marks it's like so much floss 12 a year you've never floss no no need congrats thank you guys guys i'll send you the chocolates that I want a link. And then I'll send it to you. Yeah. I don't know if to congratulate y'all or get on with him. That was a great performance by then. See him on him, folks. There he is. I feel like the winner should get him. Thank you. I feel like the loser really should get a little bit of counseling, some free counseling. Hey. Oh, man. That's our two-minute warning, which means we get a rant. Ladies, good time for you. Anything other than pillows? It can be on V-Day. You know what? Yeah, prices at Valentine's Day. I know what? This will be good. I do. Easy. Simmer down, sister. I'm just going to sit with this. This is my rant. It's about Valentine's Day, and I just ranted about this to some friends of mine, so it's fresh. Okay. I think Valentine's Day card exchange at schools is dumb because it's true, and I feel like moms will agree because your kids come home Friday, and they've done their Valentine's Day exchange parties, whatever. and most of the time it's candy or it's like little trinkets that are fun for a day or two and then they kind of get lost in the car or they get lost it like i love a pencil because i feel like pencils are useful for them you know pro pencil yeah pro pencil but like they're you know what i'm talking about like the trinkets that are like that you they don't last long and so i feel bad finding them all over my house and then having to like throw them away because Boone is going to choke on it. Or he's going to chew it up. Anyways, I just feel like we don't need to do that at school. We don't need to like exchange. A little overplayed. A little bit. Did you enjoy it as a kid yourself? No, not really. I mean, maybe. So I thought that and I thought, well, maybe this is just like a rite of passage for kids to like exchange valentines and whatever but i there and there's a lot of pressure on moms to make the valentines for the kids legit and something that their friends are going to like and so you end up spending all this money on it and then yeah i mean and yeah it's kind of like the mom on homecoming you know it got so ridiculous there for a while what's the budget on a valentine's box i go low i go what's low to you i make the expectation i don't want my boys to think oh mom goes hard for valentine's day like i want it to be a low bar good so i went to hobby lobby 40 off and i got some nerds and i'm gonna tape them on there have them sign their name and that is it i have friends that go hard and it's beautiful they make like a whole kit tower for the kids but i just don't have the capacity for that yeah that's fair yeah valentine's good too much thank you for your rant It means a lot. Thank you for your rant. I, too, am a ranter. Yeah, to your point, Beth, just like a hug and a handshake goes a long way. Or like, right, like, what do you like about that person? Like, what's like a man that you like about him? Yeah, because there's a lot of fake liking going around. You know, you're giving a girl in class a little card, and you don't really have intentions to it. You're just participating to participate, and that loses the meaning of Valentine's Day. Do you think you should only give Valentine's to people that you like in your class? 100%. Oh. that's great I would rant about that that's mean that's mean behavior no I'm saying do away with the exchange I think socialism when it comes to Valentine's is the good part because it's a fake holiday, it's not even real it's not even like why do we do it St. Valentine that's all I know it was made up by Hallmark right Hallmark made it up to sell cards Hallmark makes some money, I know that much anyhow, looks like our time's up, thank you ladies for joining the show We'll be back next Wednesday with an all-new ep.
