Jesus, dog.

Joe Rogan (0:04)

We're good? All right, we're live. Sort of.

Tom Segura (0:07)

Sort of live.

We're rolling. We're rolling.

Joe Rogan (0:10)

We're rolling, dog.

So we were talking about the game. We stopped because we figured this would probably be good for the podcast. So Ari finally paid off the bet.

Tom Segura (0:21)

Ari paid it off in a big way, man.

Joe Rogan (0:22)

Big way.

Tom Segura (0:23)

In a big way.

So if you remember, when we were doing the weight loss challenge, it was like whoever wins decides the sporting event. We're all sports fans, basically. And I said at the time, I was like, let's go see Barcelona. I think I wanted to see Barcelona play Paris in some tournament cup, some tournament that they were playing in.

And I was like, two of the premier teams, and it would be fun to go to Europe and make Ari pay for it.

So I told him that, and he was like, I'm going to like fucking Malaysia, and he just left. Never heard from him again. And four months later, you know how it all played out. So when he got back, he was getting fucking slammed by people because he was supposed to pay up this bet, and people were destroying him. You know that. I mean, online, they were just like, Welch, you're a piece of shit. Probably worse than that.

But anyways, once we got to like hanging out, once we did the Sober October thing, he was just like, right before that, actually, I think he was like, which means like, what do you want to do? Right? And I go, well, how about, I go, he's like, you know, you picked the event. I go, I'm a big college football fan. Let's go to the national championship game. And I remember at the end of 2013 season, 2014, FSU and Auburn played in the Rose Bowl out here. And Burt's an FSU alum, I'm a big FSU fan. I was like, let's go to the game. And I remember that we met, it was like, we got somebody who had students, because they both, always in the national championship, they allow students to go to the game for pretty expensive, much less than the general public can go for. In other words, because you want students to have the ability to go to see their school play. So we got like student tickets for, I think they were 350 each.

And that's pretty expensive, especially for a student. But I remember Burt treated me, he bought the ticket for me. And we went to that game and he left that fucking halftime of the national championship game.

Joe Rogan (2:29)

Why did he leave?

Tom Segura (2:30)

He was, I'm tired, I gotta see the kids, I've been drinking. He just left, it was one of the best games.

Joe Rogan (2:34)

He just left you there?

Tom Segura (2:36)

Yeah, we were sitting in separate sections, but I was like, are you fucking, I was like texting him, he was like.

Joe Rogan (2:40)

So you were by yourself and he was by himself.

Tom Segura (2:42)

Yeah, yeah. He knew more people at the game because a lot of his friends that he went to school with were at the game too. But I'm like, you're gone? Did you just see the kickoff return? That just, the lead just like swung. He was like, I'm at home. And I was like, all right. So, all right, psycho.

So weird. I gave him shit for it. I still give him shit for it. But it ended up being just this amazing finish. So anyways, when I tell Ari, I want to go to this, I'm kind of thinking that's the ballpark. Like, cause that's the only experience I have. So the game's in Atlanta.

He buys tickets.

And I'm like, I go, you're not finding a coach. You know that. He's like, no, you're the champ. You go first. Bert, work as coach.

He goes, I work as coach, and I'll get him a C-bill extension. I'm like, all right, cool. But Bert ended up going from somewhere else. So anyways, he bought the ticket. He got an Airbnb, a really nice house, for a few days in Atlanta.

And then it's, the big thing is game day. I'm thinking like, oh, that's cool that you got these tickets and you got, you know, but I think it's like reasonable. And then we get to the stadium. It was a total fucking disaster to get in because Trump went to the game. So it was raining, it was wet, secret service everywhere, two hour lines to get into the venue.
