Father Mike Smith still hasn't accepted my LinkedIn friend request.

Show yourself, you coward.

Welcome to The Crunch. It is your boy, Ethan.

And I'm Patrick, and you forgot to line up our audio when we started recording. No, I didn't. You didn't? Why are you saying that? I don't know, you didn't do the whole, are you recording? And I didn't do the whole, yes, I'm recording. Well, the past couple of times when I've said, are you recording? You just haven't answered me. so I figured you don't want to do it anymore.

So that's how you know.

When you ask me, are you recording? And I don't respond. You're like, yep, he's on. He's on. I dick your silence is compliance, baby. All right. No, that's a, no, no, no, that's a debate term, not a life term. Let's be clear. It's when you're, when you're in policy debate and you, let's say, you talk about their solvency, about how their plan won't actually solve the problem. Is that what solvency means? Yes. In the, in the terms of policy debate in high school, it does. Man, I forget that you have this whole background of debate.

Yeah.

And if they don't answer the claim or any claim that you make about any of the issues,

you can say silence is compliance.

They didn't talk about it, which means they agree with us.

And since it rhymes, it's true.

Exactly.

Like Red before White Party All Night, white before red, wish you were dead. What does that even? What does that mean? That's the order in which you drink wines. Really? Yeah, red before white, party all night. Beer before liquor, never sicker. Liquor before beer, you're in the clear is the one that I'm familiar. If it's brown, flush it down. What? If it's yellow, let it melt. Oh, wow. Does anyone else have any fun rhymes that they want? That's a, that's a, that's a, uh, comment below with your favorite rhyme. A rhyme for drinking whiskey versus drinking beer. It's like if it's whiskey and it's brown, you just flush that right down the toilet. You don't need none of that. No, I don't know if that's what it's about. If it's brown, flush it down your throat because it's so good for you to drink whiskey. And then if it's blue, if it's beer, just let it mellow on the counter. I think it about poopy and pee-pee is what I think it's about. I'm so mad that I laughed at that on our podcast for young adults that are supposed to be grown-ups. Can I tell you about my day today? Yeah, sure. You didn't do that before the show. That's right. I know. Well, I wanted to save it for the freaking pod. I kind of dominated the conversation with talking about... Racism and politics.

LinkedIn and racism. Yeah. Not together. Just so everybody in the audience knows,

even when we're not recording a podcast, Patrick is dominating the conversation talking about

racism, politics, and also finances. Those is... It's... No, I'm kidding. Patrick's a great friend. I make sure that Ethan has not gotten a credit card every week. I'm like, Ethan, do you have a credit card? And he's like, nope. I'm like, yeah. It's like, we can't even start before he talks to me about it. So this morning I get, I gets up, right? Well, last night I got to Tulsa so I'm in Tulsa back we're back

baby back in Oklahoma and got to Tulsa last night and my air conditioning was broken and it's

broken every six months and so we always have to get it fixed and the guys the dudes came this morning

at 8.30.

Last night, it was so hot. But today I'm fresh and cool. So they came at 8.30 in the morning. They tried to find the leak. They tried to find the Frion leak. I don't know how to spell Frion, but I know how to pronounce it, which is just as important, if not more important. It's like neon with an FR. Really? I thought there was an I.

No.

Well, good to know.
