Group Not Interested In Hearing What Is, Isn't Possible, Demand Pat Bullock Appearance
Saying they don't want to hear anything at all about what can or can't be done, trip goers across the West Coast warned Friday that the upcoming Manzanita trip had better include an appearance by the estranged Pat Bullock.
The group, who adamantly stated they aren't interested in what is or isn't physically possible, told reporters they don't care how difficult it might be for organizer Bryan Leslie to get in touch with the reclusive Bullock, nor do they want to be bothered with the details of how it could happen. He just needs to figure it out and get it done, they said.
‘I don't want to sit here and have an argument about who's avoiding contact, refusing to accept an apology, and harboring a grudge, because, quite frankly, I don't care,’ said Michael Burke.
‘This is what I want: unfettered, unfiltered Bullock. And he has to be there the whole time, too, not another early departure or I swear to God I'm asking for my money back. And it sure as shit better not be some half-hearted Facetime cameo, either,’ Burke added. ‘That doesn't count.’

Claiming they weren't interested in getting into an existential conversation about how an unrequited friendship drifted apart or how Leslie irreparably burned that bridge last year or anything like that, the group hinted that the trip would suffer without an upbeat, engaging, and bantering Bullock.
Sources noted that by submitting their demands in February, they are giving Leslie more than enough time in advance of the trip's August dates to ‘do whatever he needs to do’ to make sure Bullock is there.
‘Look, don't ask me how — I'm not the host here, okay? If Bryan does his job and makes me happy, I'll do my job and pay to attend the trip,’ continued Burke. ‘It's as simple as that.’
When asked how they would respond if Leslie is unable to add the requested Bullock, the group waved off the question saying they ‘literally don't want to hear it.’
‘It's as simple as that’
‘First off, this isn't open for discussion; it's not about able or unable,’ Burke noted. ‘Secondly, I'm not really responsible for anything, but if I was, and if I spent the amount of time Bryan does on this weekend, damn straight I'd swallow my pride, apologize, bend over, beg even… to bring Bullock back. Thirdly, everyone likes it when two guys quarreling in prior years show up to reconcile about how stuff that happened in the past is past, so this seems like a no-brainer to me.’
‘Clearly the trip will be better with Bullock in it, so get it done for Christ's sake,’ Burke added.
Though Leslie has yet to comment on the demands, sources confirmed it likely he is still just as big of an asshole as last year.
