• 6:05
  Speaker 6: a brain believe They said, dude, you are you cannot
• 6:07

• 6:11
  Speaker 6: then best of footage and whatever you see it if
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: you're into it, there is a nostalgia factor to it.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: I speak of.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: You see that guy get tossed by the I did, yes,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I thought I thought he held his own pretty good guys.
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: So you you've taken a look at the footage, you
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: have seen this Riley Riley, Google Man, Google Grandpa and
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: Bison and it will pop up. This guy's I want
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: to say he's in his late sixties or seventies.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say seventies.
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: And he was a Yellowstone and happened to see a bison.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: And usually this sort of thing happens when people don't
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: keep a safe distance.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: He was pretty far he was. He was taking precaution, not.
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: Far enough back for the bison. It made a move on.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's apparently mating season. They get a little aggressive.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: This bison went after.
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: So it goes and he gets behind this grove of trees.
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: The bison can't figure how do I get this guy?
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: And so he's doing really well. He's kind of going
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: left when the bison goes right. He's showing some moves
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: and there's a car that's kind of edging towards the grove,
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: and I think they were like, hey, okay, we'll give
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: him some cover. Is that way he top in the
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: car and get him out of here, But he just
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: went the wrong way. He gets out in the clearing
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: and he's going to try to kind of outrun him,
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: and nope, he ain't got out run bison. So he
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: goes eight to nine feet in the air. The video.
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, I just watched it.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Wow through him. Oh yeah, beasts.
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: He ended up again. He broke his leg. I know
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: that he's gonna have to have surgery on his leg.
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: But he was in good spirits about it.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah he was.
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: He's gonna be fine, and thank God for that because
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: like if it you know, he kind of landed exactly right.
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: And as far as getting pummeled by a bison goes.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, not bad, not bad. Outcome, not bad.
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: We need to do an update on the explosive diarrhea because, yeah,
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: the explosive diary a parasite, which you talked about a
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: few times and still I don't know if it's still
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: on the increase or whatever, but it is affecting menus people.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: People were talking about it.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: My daughter would not eat salad like we had, you know,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: a bag of salad.
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: Salads. The salad is the culprit. Lettuce is the culprit,
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: along with berries, they say, I think specifically raspberries.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Oh good thing.
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: Okay, so you're good.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I'm good.
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: But yeah, the lettuce is a prime offender. And you know,
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: it's obviously affective people order. Affective people are serving because
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: no one wants to be the restaurant that you know accidentally.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: That happens with lettucet focus that carries that sort of thing.
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: Certainly, no one wants to be out at the out
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: at the out at the barbecue about backyard cook off
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: out and you know, all of a sudden, you know,
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: going to serve you the wrong side. No one wants
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: that either. Uh, and oh, it's a lot I need
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: to tell I need to ask you about this because
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: you're the resident grill expert on the show. I have
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: something that claims to have the number one grilling sin. Okay,
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: do you have in your head a list of what
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: you would consider grilling sin.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Grilling sin as opposed to like, because there's a difference
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: between grilling and barbecuing. So we're talking strictly, yeah, strictly
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: talking grilling.
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: We're talking going in the backyard and grilling.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Don't touch them another man's grill.
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: How that's number one. That's the one.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: That's the one.
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: I thought that was.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: A little close.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Second is backseat grilling, where somebody's trying to tell you
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: how to handle your grill.
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: So if I come over to your house and I
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: see that, it's like, oh, maybe I'll just give this
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: a little a little flip. You're like, you're that's your last,
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: your last?
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, okay, some other submissions for this. We're cooking
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: in an oven and then finishing on a grill. Does
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: that offend you? Uh?
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Doesn't offend me. I would like to know the reasons why.
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: Okay, it's a further questioning.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Is further more information needed?
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: Okay? Barbecuing anything straight from the fridge, they say.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Is the You tend to want to get things to
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: room temperature before you you throw them, especially.
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: With respect the meat. Respect the meat.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: If it's a hot dog, nobody cares.
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: Okay, timing the cook by an arbitrary time rather than
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: using the thermometer or checking just kind of you know,
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: it depends going with what's in my head.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Because I know, for example, on my flat top, I
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: know how it cooks, and so I'll use a timer
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and a touch on that. Now with beef, I'll use
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the touch because I know how beef should feel as
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: certain donness. But yeah, I'll time it. I'll put a
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: timer on it.
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: I feel like the only like when barbecue I've watched
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: other people do. I've never done it, so I can't
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: speak high much on it. But the ones you really
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: have to pay attention to the temperature is like the chickens,
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: but just like the hamburgers everything else. I don't hamburger
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: and everything, or like the beef like the all of
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: the other It's really more of just if you know
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: what you're doing, you know what you're doing.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Chicken is the one that will will start to get
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: my paranoia going a little bit. I don't cook a
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: ton of chicken, and if I do, and I'm smoking it,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: you really have to kind of pay attention to temperature.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: As far as beef goes, ground beef can carry more, Yeah,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I guess contaminate. It's more potential for illness because it
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: is ground up.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, your steak's.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Your stuff that's not ground it's really the first quarter
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: inch of the meat that can have that sort of
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: contaminate and the illness causing stuff. See as far as
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: eating a steak that's rare, you're not going to get
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: anything for the center of the meat. Now, chicken and
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: even pork these days has come far enough the chances
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: of getting trickenosis or something like that is really really slim,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: So you can go a little.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Less cook on pork. Chicken. However, yeah, you got to
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: watch the.
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: Chicken Chase texts in it's all about the look in
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: the field. You have to become one with the grill,
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: the zin ye Jedi Jedi, Jedi mind trick.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, used the force.
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: I'm also one of those guys like I just yeah,
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: I want to. I want to use the force. I
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: don't want it. Like the thermometer thing feels like a cheat.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: No, I will.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I will use the thermometer on on the brisket, on
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: the smoker, but on the grill.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: No.
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: Also, he adds, uh, do not touch the tongs.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Don't touch the tongues.
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: Don't even look at well apparently that's a way to
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: get banned from the well household.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know, I if you, if you
• 12:32

• 12:34
  Speaker 2: I may ask you. I may ask you to assist.
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: A young Yes. Yes, yeah. It's like like Riley.

  Speaker 7: My dad brother always all do it. And then when
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: I wanted to try and learn a little bit, my
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: brother was like, this is my area of expertise.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: This but for him.
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: It was He's like, don't, for instance, like don't touch
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: my grill.
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: We're gonna bring you over to mister Miyagi over here.
• 13:04

  Speaker 6: You got them, send them to us six sixteen twenty
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: Bradley reminds us that sports talk legend Jim Rome said
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: it best years ago. Diarrhea. It's the great equalizer?
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Is the great equalizer? It is? And I freely admit
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: I have a little issue on the Oregon Trail. Oh no,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I'm a little dissenter him.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm just I'm just I'm just saying that they're
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: in addition to the allegra and the and the etcetera.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: And I did I did run a course of pepto
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: before the Saturday.
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: Man.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: That's all I'm going to size.
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: Man. I was kind of intrigued by this, not to
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: say I mean, every once in a while something comes
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: up about like, Okay, who is you know the worst
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: driving in in in Texas or the worst riving in America?
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: By state or whatever. This one I thought was really
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: interesting because it claims to identify the most dangerous cities
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: to drive in the United States. But the way it
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: does it, I've never seen someone try to calculate what
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: the average link between car crashes is like in terms
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: of like, you get in a wreck, how many years
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: does it take you to get in your next wreck?
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Wow? Okay?
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: And so that's what they did. They went through this
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: and went by city, interviewed a lot of people, and
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: what they were trying to figure out was, in fact, okay,
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: can we determine the most dangerous cities to drive in
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: based on the length between people's collisions? And they found
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: a safest and they absolutely found a less safest. So,
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: for instance, safest city in America Brownsville, Texas. You get
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: in a wreck, they say, you'll go fifteen years out
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: getting in another wreck.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I was I was kind of stunned by the fact
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: that on that list of the best chances of not
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: being in an additional was three Texas teen.
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: He did quite well, Now all those Texas towns are
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: on the border. For they are, that's a little bit
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: to seven. I don't know what does this, but for
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: whatever reason they always seem to do very well. Brownsville, Laredo, McCallen,
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: all the top ten. Not gonna get in a wreck
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: in those cities. Boston, I'm getting a lot of wrecks. Yeah,
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: every you're getting one wreck. They say you're going to
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: have another one in three years. That's three three years.
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: You are looking at a traffic collision in Boston, mass
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: What was like, I've gotten in one wreck in my life.
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: I think I was sixteen.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, only one.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: If you don't count me flipping a dirt track car
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: in Northwest Arkansas on a celebrity race. The last wreck
• 15:51

  Speaker 7: in t bone the t bone in my side every
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: whole nine yards and that was my wreck.
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: My sister's been I want to say five.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Wow, she's just she's one.

• 16:22
  Speaker 6: I don't know, I like, you know, I've been.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I've been in others as a passenger, but the only
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: one driving I was sixteen.
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: All right, who do you think got the worst score
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: in the state of Texas because we're going to go
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: through them, Austin or Dallas? Dallas?
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Well, san Antonio, San Antonio, Yeah, san Antonio, I look
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: every Yeah, Houston, Houston has to be it.
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: Let's start with getting past McCallan.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Who again, which there's got to be some sort of
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: there's got to be some statistical bias with the Brownsville,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: gall Lardo past the border.
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: Next safest Amarillo, Texas. Okay, and years between collisions is
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: what they say. Next up Rileyland, Corpus Christie, Texas coming
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: in with eleven years in between collisions. L Passo ten
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: point seven years between collisions. Waco, Texas getting a little
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: more dangerous. Now you're only looking at ten years, ten
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: years in between collisions. By the way, we're still doing
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: quite well. This is the seventy second safest city. Is Waco?
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Not bad?
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: That's not bad. Now we get to Colleen nine point seven,
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: three years between collisions. Then pass A, get down, Dina.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Passa, get down here tied at that nine.
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: Point seven to three Denton, Texas nine point one three.
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: Now we're making into the Dallas metroplex, McKinney Texas eight
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: years and change between collisions at one sixteen nationally. Then
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: we move on onto Plano, another one in the Dallas
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: metro eight point six, Frisco eight point four, and then
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: at one hundred and thirty four we get San Antonio, Texas.
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: More dangerous than all of them.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: I'm fascinated by the geographic grouping.
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: They tied with Austin. By the way, Santonio and Austin almost.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Exactly the same.
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: So are we tied into I.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: Am looking for College station, and we haven't read College Station,
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: so I'm really hoping that they're not going to pop
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: up down here. I have not checked.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: I would think with the you know, my initial blush
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: thought was college towns might have more incidents.
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: Irving Texas back on see the fort Worth, Texas eight
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: point three one, Irving Texts a point two. It's this
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: is a cheat to put all of Dallas in one, like.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: I don't you got to have the whole metro.
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: It's a blob. It's a big blob. Call it one
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: and move on. Mesquite, Texas seven point eight, Dallas, Texas
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: proper seven years between collisions, and finally Garland, Texas the
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: most dangerous place to drive in Texas seven point three years.
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: They didn't even count us. Yeah, Terry, maybe it's.
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: For the best because we have it's I'm telling you

• 19:20
  Speaker 2: this happens? They get in recks fairly frequently.
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: So I'm saying, yeah, somebody, some people. It's just it's
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: a normal thing to get in a fender bender, like
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: on the rag, Like I mean, oh, well, yeah, I've
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: gotten a you know, got in an Accident'm going to

• 19:41
  Speaker 1: weekend and most of the vehicles are so old and
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: tore up that they can't travel fast enough to create
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: conditions favorable for a wreck.
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: Buy it.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: They have a point there.

• 25:12
  Speaker 2: I don't do that. No, I don't do that.
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: Let's start with the big one. It is how hungry
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: I know, Will is because you talk about, Hey, guess
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: what humans were smart, as it turns out, to avoid cannibal.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: The headline on the story Sinus reveal humans are smart
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: to skip cannibalism.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: They are so glad that.
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: They had the Phillips and on that even though they
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: debunked that thirty years ago.
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: Well, have I turned into a giant Turkey yet like
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: in your you know what I mean, like in the
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: cartoons and more like a desert island. Yeah, all right.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: What they're saying is that while the human body provides
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: quote modest amount of caloric value, the danger lies in disease, right,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: So that's what they're saying there. It acts as an
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: evolutionary safeguard.
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was reading a story about it.
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: Weird that there'd be two cannibal stories, but they were like, hey, Neanderthals.
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: They just were like, hey, guess what we discovered. Neanderthals
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: were cannibals, So it's something between Neanderthals and us. Was
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: when they were okay, we gotta, we gotta cut this out.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: They got these you know, these little pirons or whatever
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: else they call them, a little misfolded proteins that end
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: up there are a pathogen that can cause fatal brain disorders.
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: Le'd say, whenever the all of that, when I used
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: to watch all of the like the true crime stuff
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: and that instead, you know, there's people out there that
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: actually are about like like did research on them, like
• 26:42
  Speaker 7: studied their bodies after and they said that it causes
• 26:45
  Speaker 7: a brain stuff to kind of like it affects your
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: brain a very bad capacity or whatever. And like the
• 26:51
  Speaker 7: years of doing it, the ones that do it for
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: long period of time, it's just gruss.
• 26:56

  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you're not gonna not here, tastiest friend, work
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: off a tree.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: Before I do that.
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: Keep it when we are like, this's evaluate the human
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: we are discussing creatures. We are not.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: We're not tasty by anybody.
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: Not No one wants. This is not sustaining for anyone,
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: not in any stretch of the imagination.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: They do say in here, we might let it slide
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: up your soccer team's plane crashes, and and I did.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I did think about this legitimately over the weekend while
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: I'm standing in this pass, and it is, I mean
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: miles acres and acres and acres of lava flow, just
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: black rock everywhere. And I didn't think to myself, you know,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: if if I was on a plane crash here.
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: I'd be the meal.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: I was a hot dog, I'd survive. Uh, you know,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: because there's nothing. There's no plants, there's no water, there's nothing.
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: There's a desolate part, there's a desolate stretches of earth. Still,
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: people are like, oh hey, no, no, no, we're we're
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: you know, you can't get away from you know, you
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: can still do it.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I think my biggest problem would be the fact that
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: I don't have all the spices and seasonings.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: That I have at home.
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: Will, you're making us worse.

• 28:31
  Speaker 1: They're pretty, they're pretty tough, you're pretty gamy. You have
• 28:34

• 28:36
  Speaker 7: I'm trying not to literally gag right now.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: I'm not even kidding a little stringy.
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: You wanna start with offensive line, got a lot more marbling.

• 29:32
  Speaker 6: even criticize it. It's just different and regular than like
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: actual Mexican food. So maybe it's gone up and changed
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: so much. When it came back down it would be like,
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: oh hey something, it's American food.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: They're sticking with the same menu. They're not doing anything

  Speaker 1: looking at international.
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: Do you know what would help you is Chipotle. This
