Speaker 5 (2:44) Ahhhh Megan Batoon, hi, lo, stinky ho. Oh, shit. Hi. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. In case y'all are confused, look, me and David had another miscommunication as we've been having for the past. Like, you know, it's partly my fault, partly his fault. My schedule's been crazy this summer. We've been filming our show, so I've had to reschedule a bunch of dudes and things, and David's always flying in and out. We had just a text thing that we didn't. He misread. I mistyped. Or maybe it was the other way around. But, like, he said he's going to be in the studio a week after. And I thought that meant the week after this week, meaning he'll be here next week. But he meant the week after next week. Speaker 6 (3:31) So it was a whole situation. So. Calendars. Speaker 5 (3:35) It's stupid. Guess Speaker 6 (3:37) what? We back, baby. Thanks for tipping. Speaker 6 (3:42) Megan, my tune. But we got food. Megan, Speaker 4 (3:46) my food. Speaker 6 (3:47) Let's go. Speaker 5 (3:50) Hey, how are you? I'm Speaker 4 (3:52) good. Hey, I miss this. I know. This is the longest I've been without seeing you in like a long time. Because we're like on and off for a week, every week. Speaker 5 (4:01) Yeah, that makes it sound like a relationship. I know, I know, Speaker 6 (4:04) I Speaker 5 (4:04) know. First of all, what's up, man? Speaker 4 (4:09) Hey. It's good to see you. It is. Let's Speaker 5 (4:11) do this. Let's bring it back for the thanks for tipping fans. Wow. High, low, stinky ho. Tell me how you feel. Speaker 4 (4:18) What is my high? What is my high? Oh my gosh. Yesterday, I went to a dance in the dark event. Okay. Speaker 5 (4:27) Where Speaker 4 (4:28) you walk in, all of the windows are blacked out. No lights. They just play loud ass music. And you were just dancing by yourself. Speaker 5 (4:37) Oh. Speaker 4 (4:37) And you can, it's like light enough to see the outlines of people so that you don't run into them. Oh, Speaker 5 (4:41) so it's like you're dancing by yourself because it's pitch black. Yes. Interesting. So. Go ahead. Speaker 4 (4:47) So I just walk in. I like shake my body because nobody's looking at you. Right. And that's the point, right? Speaker 5 (4:53) I Speaker 4 (4:53) don't Speaker 5 (4:54) want Speaker 4 (4:54) to like be a good dancer. I'm just like flailing. Right. And then I get into the good dance a little bit. I see. And then Speaker 5 (5:00) I Speaker 4 (5:00) go back to the flail. Speaker 5 (5:01) And you're like, hey Speaker 4 (5:02) guys, Speaker 5 (5:02) just so you know. I look so cool right now. Speaker 4 (5:05) You can't see it, but I'm fucking crushing. I'm actually a choreographer. They're like, shut up. So I Speaker 5 (5:16) imagine the whole point is like, hey, dance like no one's watching. Exactly. Right, right. So you can be free without worrying about it. I Speaker 4 (5:22) like it. That Speaker 5 (5:23) is Speaker 4 (5:23) cool. Yeah. What's your high? Speaker 5 (5:25) My high. Speaker 5 (5:28) I'll tell you what my high is, Megan Battoon. Speaker 4 (5:30) Uh-huh. Speaker 5 (5:32) Is that our show's coming out soon. Speaker 4 (5:33) I know! I'm fucking stoked. Speaker 5 (5:36) Yeah, that's like one of the main reasons when I was trying to find somebody to fulfill this episode today. And I was like, you know what? Our show drops in. This will come out on Monday on the 5th. Our show is scheduled to come out in one. Speaker 5 (5:58) Two, three weeks. Speaker 4 (6:00) Do you think it will? Speaker 5 (6:01) I do. I think it will. Speaker 4 (6:03) Sick. Speaker 5 (6:05) How much are we allowed to talk about it? I Speaker 4 (6:06) think it will too. I think we can say anything. Let's just talk about it now. Okay. I think Speaker 5 (6:10) we're officially allowed to talk about it because like, what the fuck? Three weeks away, I'm sure they're going to start sending us promo and shit soon. I Speaker 4 (6:16) hope so. Speaker 5 (6:17) Okay. Speaker 4 (6:18) Okay. Speaker 5 (6:19) Are we going to say the name? Speaker 4 (6:21) I don't know if we can do that. Okay, okay, okay. I don't Speaker 5 (6:24) know Speaker 4 (6:24) if we can do all of that. Speaker 5 (6:25) But we can talk about what it is though. 100p. Speaker 4 (6:27) Okay, Speaker 5 (6:27) okay, okay. Before we do that. Speaker 4 (6:29) Okay. Speaker 5 (6:30) Which are low. Speaker 4 (6:31) Oh, the high is that our show is coming out. Speaker 5 (6:33) The Speaker 4 (6:34) low is what is, you know, this is an adult problem and I don't like having it. But at the same time, I guess like blessing that I can complain about this property tax. Oh, a bitch. Speaker 6 (6:49) And Speaker 4 (6:50) it like keeps happening. And then the insurance of it all. I'm like, yo. Speaker 4 (6:55) What happens if you just run out of money? Speaker 5 (6:58) I think that's happening to a lot of people. Speaker 4 (7:02) What happens? Speaker 5 (7:03) I think about that a lot. And I'm always like, let's say for whatever reason. I couldn't continue to pay for the house I'm at, right? I'm like, well. Speaker 5 (7:17) We'd have to sell the house. Speaker 4 (7:18) Yeah. Speaker 5 (7:21) get an apartment. Right. Move the kids into just a, well, we'd sell the house so we'd have money from that. Speaker 4 (7:28) Yeah. So Speaker 5 (7:28) we'd either super downgrade the house or get into an apartment. You know what I'm saying? I'm Speaker 4 (7:32) just like, the insurance is insane. Property Speaker 5 (7:35) tax is so fucking stupid. I know. It's a lot. I know. I was looking at houses like, cause you know, every once in a while houses from different cities will pop up on my algorithm. And so I'm constantly looking at houses in like Texas because like it looks like a fucking steal of a deal out there. Right. But according to a couple of people I know in Texas, they're like, yo, yeah, but property tax is insane. Speaker 4 (8:00) So Speaker 5 (8:00) I don't know, man, I don't know how true that is. But there are some bangers in like Houston, Dallas. Yeah. Speaker 4 (8:07) I mean, everywhere we go, you're like, I should buy this property. I Speaker 5 (8:11) know. Oh, because we traveled so much this summer. And speaking of Texas, I brought some. barbecue for us. Speaker 1 (8:18) Hell yeah, brother. I was Speaker 5 (8:19) like, what does Batun love to eat? I know at this point, you know, like we've traveled, we've been friends for so long, even before the show, but also like, I'm like, let me get something she likes to eat, right? Speaker 4 (8:29) Straight pigs. Yeah. Speaker 5 (8:30) Look, first of all, look, I was going to get some steak for us. Not a lot of steak places are open at 11 in the morning, noon, which is stupid. But, um, so I got some ribs. Speaker 4 (8:39) Okay. Speaker 5 (8:40) And I made sure to get ribs and your favorite. Speaker 4 (8:43) Brisket. Brisket. Oh, my God. It's going to fall out of my skin. Speaker 5 (8:46) Oh, I Speaker 4 (8:47) love it. Speaker 5 (8:48) There's a piece of cornbread for you. Speaker 4 (8:50) Cornbread. Speaker 5 (8:51) Cornbread. Speaker 4 (8:52) One time, I think I had like ube cornbread. Speaker 5 (8:55) Oh. Sounds pretty Speaker 4 (8:56) sick. Speaker 5 (8:57) Popping. And here's some honey butter for the cornbread. And, oh, I got a piece of key lime pie as well. You Speaker 4 (9:05) love key lime pie. I fuck with Speaker 5 (9:06) the key lime pie. Speaker 5 (9:08) So there's two types of ribs there, and there's also some tri-tip. God dang. Because you're on dudes behind the foods, dog. It's not those, you know, thanks for tipping bullshit. Speaker 4 (9:17) That's sick. I like you guys' style. I love being David Standen. Or sit-in, I guess. I Speaker 5 (9:24) was telling Batun that, like, you know, because we have so many, I have, like, so much vlog footage from our travels this summer. And I was like, I'm a. upload the vlogs but because i really want people to watch the show too i'm gonna upload the vlog i'll probably main channel the vlogs and i'm gonna call them thanks for tripping nice because they're like travel vlogs um shall we you're Speaker 4 (9:46) so good at recording enough like you do such a good job at being in the moment and then capturing the moment you Speaker 5 (9:54) know i'm just i'm constantly in my head like yeah Thank you. I try to balance it out. Right. Let's actually put the camera down in some moments. Take this in because I'm actually telling myself like, hey, put the phone down for a second. Let's take this in as a human being. And then I'm like, OK, content. Yeah. So I Speaker 4 (10:17) just missed the content part. I'm always like, this is just for my life. And then I have nothing to put. Speaker 5 (10:23) I know. You got to remember property tax, dog. I Speaker 4 (10:26) know, Speaker 5 (10:26) brother. Yeah, think about that shit, man. That Speaker 4 (10:29) shit's crazy. Health insurance, all insurances. I'm just like, this is a scam. Speaker 5 (10:34) I know. Speaker 4 (10:35) But then I'm like, I'm mad to pay it. But then like the next week it's like, El Nino's coming. Or like, here's an earthquake. And I'm like, okay, I'm glad that I paid for it. Speaker 5 (10:44) So stupid. What are you going to go for first, a rib or a brisket? Speaker 4 (10:48) I might go for a hair tie, to be honest with you. Like, here's the thing. Oh, you know what? I do. Speaker 5 (10:55) This is from a spot called Baby Blues in Venice Beach. It's one of the first barbecue spots that I ever really like fucked with in L.A. And aside from like, you know, when I was young, when I was young, I would just go to get the the the food cam real quick. So Robin Couch can food Speaker 4 (11:10) cam, Speaker 5 (11:10) food cam, brisket, ribs, baton. Speaker 4 (11:16) You ever heard of a probe lens before? Speaker 5 (11:19) Probe. Probe lens. Speaker 4 (11:21) Probe lens. What does Speaker 5 (11:22) that do? Speaker 4 (11:23) It is like really macro. So you could like go in between this and pull out and it's like you see all the textures and the grain. I like that. Yeah, it's really sick. Speaker 5 (11:35) All right. All right. Well, you're bullshitting, bro, because I'm about to get a bite. Speaker 4 (11:38) Bullshitting, bro. Speaker 5 (11:39) And then we got to talk about our stinky hoes. Oh, yeah. I don't know Speaker 4 (11:44) if I have a I don't even know if I have a low or a stinky hoe. Well, Speaker 5 (11:47) that's beautiful. But I know that would be Speaker 4 (11:49) sick when Speaker 5 (11:49) we're doing the podcast. All you had was lows all the time. Speaker 4 (11:52) I will. Oh, I did tell you this. I'll mention it again because I think it's absurd. But I the stinky hoe of the month, I would say, is when I was I was reading a book outside. like lounging outside reading a book having a great day I'm like oh Saturday my time yay and I was in a neighborhood where my ex lives Speaker 6 (12:16) which Speaker 4 (12:16) is also my neighborhood and so I'm like looking up every now and then just like oh hopefully it's not him but then also like hope it's him and then I don't see my ex but I see the guy that I've like most recently been hanging out with Speaker 5 (12:31) with Speaker 4 (12:31) another girl yeah Speaker 5 (12:33) yeah yeah you did tell me that's crazy And, um... Speaker 4 (12:37) Damn, that's fire. Speaker 5 (12:39) Dude, it's... The honey Speaker 4 (12:40) butter? Speaker 5 (12:41) Oh, you haven't even had any brisket yet.
