Chapter 1: What trouble did Rusty have with bikers?
Anyway, we got a guest today. Our good friend Liam Keller. Boston kid. We're supposed to do intros now. So if you don't know who Liam is, Liam, you've probably seen him do standup or, uh, he does sketches on the almost Friday TV channel, but most importantly, he's just a good friend. Thank you, man. Yes. Thank you guys. Um, I have to get something off my chest and we can get into the fun part. Um,
I want to preface this by saying 99% of these people are not the problem. Oh, God. I typically never have a problem with bikers, like road bikers. Bikers. Bikers. I rarely have problems with them. I appreciate people getting out there, staying fit. I think if you're passionate about something, you should be able to do that. But I have one question for bikers out there.
Are you currently qualifying for the Tour de France? If the answer is yes, great. You can be in the road. If not, the bike lane in Los Angeles, or at least the road that I'm referring to, is ginormous. Stay in the bike lane. And then when I give you a little pop up because you're in the road going 20 miles an hour, don't make me feel like the bad guy. What did they do to you?
They obviously caught up to me at the next stoplight and they were all pointing and fucking like they were going to do something. I'm in a, I'm in a three ton metal bicyclist. Yes. Not like biker. Okay. Not like, not like, like, like on road bikes in skin tight. Well, do the, no, you gotta do the other one. What? Motorcycles are vroom, vroom, vroom. Now you got to do bikes.
Otherwise, my brain's going to fail. Do bikes. Ding, ding, ding. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they all were pointing at me like they were going to get out and unclip and fight me. I'm in a three-ton metal box. If push came to shove, I'm winning this battle.
Also, pretty easy to fight a guy wearing Peloton shoes.

Chapter 2: What is mewing and why is it important?
Yeah.
yeah click clack on over there was it a big group of them there were 40 of them so they were all on the road they were no it was one nine that's why i said 99 of them were like i had no problem with they were all in the bike lane yeah no problem at all there's one guy it was like what i was saying the other week they like use the cars to draft and it doesn't make any sense you know as a member of the biking community yeah
Yeah, I don't go on the road. Yeah. I accidentally went on the road the other day. I took Angus' electric bike to Home Depot. It's like two miles away. I was like, this isn't bad. It's all sidewalks and shit. Out of nowhere, I'm just on Lincoln, like heading towards the airport. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where everyone's doing 70, and I'm just doing, I'm maxing out at 19.5, and I'm like...
And everyone was just laying on their horn. I'm like, I know, dude. I don't know how I got here.
Chapter 3: What funny experience did Liam have with André 3000?
Well, I mean, I think if there isn't a bike lane, then as a biker, you're entitled to the road. But I think you're supposed to be, you're supposed to avoid certain roads. Like, have you seen that video of the girl that accidentally got on, like, I-4 on a Lime scooter? Yeah, see how this is like, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's awesome. Did I ever tell you?
So I-4, if you're not familiar, is the Florida highway. It's the most dangerous highway in America. And we were going to a Jaguars game one time. We were telling our friend who wasn't from Florida or didn't go to school in Florida that this was the most dangerous highway in America. And he didn't believe us. We were more referring to like people crash and stuff.
We weren't saying like there's violence. And then we drive past like a crime scene. Like it's like caution taped off with like cones. And we're like, it's odd. Like it didn't look like a car wreck. It was like there were forensics people there. Yeah. We Googled it. And two rival biker gangs ran into each other and started fucking spraying at each other. Okay, got it.
Started spraying at each other. Jesus. Apparently, it's pretty hard to aim when you're on a bike. Yeah. No one got hit.
Oh, yeah.
Do you have to shoot the head of the guy? You got to lead him. Yeah. I don't know, actually.
Other guns are attached to their handlebars. It's like Batman.
They pop out of the wheels. There's a turret on the back of one. The only person that got hit was, if the TV was working, we could probably pull this up, someone's girlfriend got sniped off the back.
Damn. One of the lovely husky ladies on the backseat of that bike got sniped off.

Chapter 4: What was the craziest senior prank at school?
Yeah, you don't have to, like, stop and, like, start new every time. Get back to the thing.
Chapter 5: How did Liam's guidance counselor confront him?
Unless you're really... Get a fresh start.
I guess you're right.
I guess you're right. I get what you mean, Will.
Thank you, Will. I get it.
I know what you mean, too. It's going to be a hard time. Wait, what were we just talking... Before we started the... Oh, we were talking about neck. We're going to talk about getting neck, dude. The comment on the AFTV video about how the guy had never seen a chin and neck look like that. That shot of me. Which we would pull up if we had the TV.
Put a picture right here.
Put a picture right there. Once Playdate gets to like 100,000 subscribers... I'm getting neck surgery. You're not going to know how much money we're making, but Will and I are both going to get chin implants. There'll be signs. But I was going to say that my little cousins were visiting my family up in Maine. I wasn't there.
But apparently my brother, they were like eating... Because we got the same build. We got that Sweeney chin. It comes from my mom's side of the family. And my, you know, the Sweeney's.
The Sweeney Chin. That's my mom's maiden name.

Chapter 6: What are some creative pitches shared on the podcast?
Oh, dude, you should have seen Will's joints. Will rolls the worst joints. It's sick.
So cool. When I moved in with Angus, I threw up my bong because I was like, I feel like I'm too old to have a bong now.
Oh.
Turn that TV on. Mustard! You could get up into the attic from my bathroom if you climbed on the counter. We'll put a picture of it right here. The smoke couldn't go, at least in my head, the smoke couldn't go back down. It had to go out. I was on the third floor. My parents were so far away, they couldn't smell it if I was up there.
I remember just going up there for the first time, putting on Spodeody Dopealicious. You ever heard that song? that sounds like what is that it's an out it's a andre 3000 song oh and it's like seven minutes long but i remember are you gonna say outcast i think it might be outcast okay i don't know if it's both of them i've actually seen andre 3000 i have too i saw i never tell you sorry where
Do you want to go first? Live? So I was walking down my street and Andre 3000 walked by me. I was like, holy shit. In Venice? He lives in Venice. So then I looked it up. I was like, what the fuck? Was that Andre 3000? I didn't say anything because I was caught off guard and I didn't want to be racist. Anytime I see any black celebrity. Especially because he's not one I see that much.
He's not in the public eye that much the last 10 years, I feel like.
And anytime I see a black guy that's like over 6'5", I'm like, is that fucking like any name anyone in the NFL?
I've seen Calvin Johnson eight times. That happened to us at a Rams game. There were like... Let's probably cut that, by the way. There was a group... We'll just move on, actually. And we're back. I saw Andre 3000 and I told these guys about it. And then the next day he comes in and he says, while listening to OutKast, I saw Andre 3000 today. Well, that's the story.

Chapter 7: What new ways can you say you’re high?
It was actually one of the coolest things that ever happened to me. I mean, it was clearly that he had in his head that Andre 3000 lives over here and then saw a black guy crossing the street while listening to OutKast. No, because I described what he was wearing and Lauren Googled it. And it was literally, there was a picture of him wearing the same beanie.
Because I had said that that's what he was wearing when I saw it. I was pulling out of a parking garage. I had all my windows down. I was listening to Miss Jackson and Andre 3000 jaywalked in front of my car. The day after I saw him for the first time. You were listening in your car? Did you turn it up? It didn't even register with me until you realized you needed a story for the podcast. No.
It happened and it was cool. The day after I saw him. He uses that against me? That makes sense. It means he was in the area. And then he went to Brentwood and started jaywalking? This was in Santa Monica. I've told you this a hundred times. It was in Santa Monica. It was right down the street.
I choose to believe neither of you. And here's a story I saw this morning.
I don't believe you.

Chapter 8: What are the best names for your group chat?
When we were walking, my dad, when he was here, this was probably two years ago, we were walking around Venice Beach. First of all, just keeps, any black guy that walks by, he's like, that's so-and-so. And I'm like, it's fucking not. My dad just pops his shirt off, just starts walking around like he owns the entire fucking town. And she goes, oh, shit, Spike Lee. And I don't even look.
I'm like, ah, damn it, dude. It's not Spike Lee. I looked over. I was like, oh, shit, it is Spike Lee. It's like one for 10 on the day. I was like, all right, that's a pretty easy one as well. That's pretty funny. You played Dungeons & Dragons yesterday. How was that? So sick. I want to play it all the time now. Really? We should run it back all the time. I can't imagine how fun that would be.
No cameras. Yeah. I want to take that. I was like, it's like Red Dead. I just want to get as dark as I can.
Yeah, yeah. Is it hard?
There's a lot of, not even like rules, but elements to the characters and games. But we had a great, Jonathan... Yeah, our Dungeon Master played in the NFL. Insane, dude.
Oh, what?
Jonathan Stanton. He used to run games with Miles Garrett in the locker room.
Unbelievable.
Oh, that's... Oh, my God.
