Previously on Miller High Life Presents, the heavyweight diaries, Alex wants to see you in the studio.

Regretful choice is making my dogs dogs sweat.

Make my dogs sweat.

My bare sweaty dogs was enough to get my dogs drooling.

Sending a gentle arc of dog sweat across the studio at the exact moment that Alex Bloomberg walks through the door.

From the tip of his nose, Alex Bloomberg wipes away a bead of what he must imagine is Chanel number five.

But it is not Chanel No.

5.

It is instead a bead of foot sweat from toe number 5.

The great toe.

I can tell from his hectomillionaire scowl that Alex Bloomberg is not feeling overly chuffed.

What's up, man?

Bloomberg says.

Punctuating his request for information about what is quote up are loud, intimidating slurps from his hombucha energy drink.

Panicking, I toss my shoes and socks into a waste paper basket in the corner of the room.

Then, I hide my nude glistening dogs under the table.

Just chilling out, I assure, my voice stuttering, cracking, and screeching.

Would that I could be in front of my editing equipment.

I'd smooth out my words with EQ knobs and splicing levers.

But alas, I'm operating in real time, my least favorite of times.

Things are happening at the speed of life, and it's making me nauseous.

So, I just wanted to check in about how the new season of Heavyweight is coming along, Bloomberg says.

We've sold all the advertising space, and the sales team is getting nervous.

I'm told you're not responding to any of their Snapchat inquiries?

It's It's coming along redonculously amazing, I say.

Redonculously amazeballs, I mean.

Cool, Modi, Bloomberg says.

When can I get a little taste?

The normally ruthless Bloomberg is acting coy.

He's been asking me for months to play him what I've been working on, but because I have nothing, each time I put him off, always with some kind of diversion, stepping into a garbage can, feigning a heart attack, having a real heart attack, feigning, feigning a heart attack so hard it becomes a real heart attack.

But this time, I decide to man up.

Nay, to person

up.

Oh, just putting the finishing touches to the pilot episode, I lie.

Let's have a listening party in a week, Bloomberg says.

We can listen while eating healthy treats.

And, I add, drinking Miller High Life.

Extending a pinky, Bloomberg says, Pinky swear?

Tentatively, I extend the tip of my pinky.

Bloomberg touches its nub with the tip of his pinky nub.

Bloomberg's plump pinky nub feels like a wedge of peeled tangerine.

Pinky swears are sacred, Bloomberg says, with what sounds like a touch of menace.

Totally, I say, swallowing hard.

As we rise from our seats and exit the studio, I pray that Bloomberg does not cast his gaze downward and spy my feet, barefoot and along.

Each of us sets forth in the direction of the bathroom.

For Bloomberg, this means the executive bathroom, the kind of comfort station one might refer to as the facilities.

And for me, this means the public bathroom, where everyone from Timothy Nelson to the FedEx delivery man voids their bowels with exuberance.

Once there, I make myself comfy on the countertop, soaking my barefoot dogs in a sinkful of tap water.

I pray to God Timothy Nelson doesn't burst in and start making small talk about decibels and frequencies and why in the world I'm washing my feet.

There are crumbs between my toes, I might say.

That's cool, Timothy Nelson might respond.

Is it, I might fire back?

Is it really?

My tone will be testy, of course, because, like most, I don't like interruptions when soaping down my dogs in public.

And as for Bloomberg, I imagine he's in his bathroom eating a charcoal broiled garlic rubbed steak and drinking a goblet filled with two bottles of Miller Highlight

while seated atop a dynamically warm toilet seat and staring thoughtfully out a floor-to-ceiling window as the pale sun sets over the Brooklyn skyline.

While while vigorously paper toweling my dogs and imagining just how beautiful smelling the executive lavatory must be, how luxuriant and free of charge its beard unctions, and how juicy the bowl full of expertly melon-balled honeydew, cold hard reality sets in.

Bloomberg is expecting to hear some of the new season, and I have absolutely nothing whatsoever to present him with.

This has been chapter two of the Heavyweight Diaries.

With any luck, the new season of Heavyweight will begin on September 26th.

Until then, you can chart our progress each week with a new diary update.

And remember, the best place to listen to Heavyweight is on Spotify.

The second best place to listen to heavyweight is on the sound system in Alex's Tricked Out Camaro.

Heavyweight is me, Jonathan Goldstein, along with Jorge Just, Stevie Lane, Khalila Holt, and B.A.

Parker.

This episode was mixed by Emma Munger.

Music by Bobby Lorde.

Our ad music is Vivaldi Spring performed by the Wichita State University Chamber Players.

We'll have a new chapter of the Heavyweight Diaries next week.

You've probably heard me say this.

Connection is one of the biggest keys to happiness.

And one of my favorite ways to build that?

Scruffy hospitality.

Inviting people over even when things aren't perfect.

Because just being together, laughing, chatting, cooking, makes you feel good.

That's why I love Bosch.

Bosch fridges with VitaFresh technology keep ingredients fresher longer, so you're always ready to whip up a meal and share a special moment.

Fresh foods show you care, and it shows the people you love that they matter.

Want a bourbon with the story?

American-made wild turkey never compromises.

Aged longer for more bold, rich character.

Our pre-prohibition-style bourbons are distilled and barreled at a low-proof to retain the most flavor.

Most bourbons aren't.

Well, we aren't most bourbons.

Wild Turkey 101 bourbon makes an old-fashioned or bold-fashioned for bold nights out or at home.

Now that's a story worth telling.

Wild Turkey, trust your spirit.

Never compromise, drink responsibly.

Starbucks pumpkin spice latte arrives at the end of every summer like a pick-me-up to save us from the dreary return from our summer breaks.

It reminds us that we're actually entering the best time of year, fall.

Fall is when music sounds the best.

Whether listening on a walk with headphones or in a car during your commute, something about the fall foliage makes music hit just a little closer to the bone.

And with the pumpkin spice latte now available at Starbucks, made with real pumpkin, you can elevate your listening and your taste all at the same time.

The Starbucks pumpkin spice latte.

Get it while it's hot or iced.
