Ep 612 - Night Gator (feat. Charles Blyzniuk)

The hosts discuss the concept of the 'Night Gator,' which refers to taking a dump before bed and forgetting to flush it, leaving it to 'lurk' in the toilet for someone else (typically a partner) to discover in the morning. This leads to comedic scenarios of confrontation and attempts to 'put the gator down' before discovery.

Matt describes forgetting to flush after reading a book, being 'terrified of the Night Gator,' and almost leaving one for his partner. The discussion includes the partner peeing on the 'gator' all night and the sour mood it creates.

A running comedic observation is that managers, regardless of gender, tend to develop a 'feminine figure' with a 'fat ass' and wear pleated khakis. This is attributed to the sedentary, oversight-heavy nature of their job, which is humorously framed as a 'feminine job' involving telling on people rather than direct labor.

The hosts note that 'every manager I've ever worked under are fat ass bro. Juicy ass. Thick tall. Don't matter. Woman or man. You can be a man. You start eventually you start like transing into a woman's figure.' They suggest managers wear 'button-down khakis' and that the role is 'a very feminine job' of 'Did you do that?'

The story of Pat Tillman is recounted, emphasizing his unwavering commitment to service. He turned down a lucrative NFL contract offer from a championship team to remain with the Arizona Cardinals, who drafted him. Later, he declined an offer to be discharged early from military service, viewing it as a 'slap in the face,' before tragically being killed by friendly fire.

Matt details Tillman's refusal of a big contract, stating 'Cardinals picked me. I was low. I was low around in the draft. They took a chance on me. I'm staying with the Cardinals. Went to war.' He also mentions Tillman's refusal to leave the military early, saying 'Bro, it's a slap in my [expletive] face.'

John Krakauer, author of 'Into Thin Air,' wrote his book to deter people from climbing Everest due to its extreme dangers. However, his book inadvertently popularized it, leading to a massive increase in climbers (from 600 to 25,000 in 30 years). This commercialization has created new dangers, including long lines of climbers and the risk of mass casualties from glacial shifts. Krakauer himself now faces a dedicated YouTube critic who attempts to debunk his climbing accounts.

Krakauer 'wrote that book hoping to scare people away from trying to do it. 30 years later, guess how many people have climbed Mount Everest... Like 25,000 people.' The host also mentions 'a YouTuber anti-John Crackour YouTuber' who goes 'cap cap none of this happened.'
