Okay, guys, we were on Zoom. They were in L.A. I'm not going to lie, the audio's a little shi-sty, but this is a gem of an episode, and I hope you enjoy. And next episode will be cleaner, I promise. You're two successful L.A. Bros. Nice tan. Nice drawlines. What would you stress? Yeah, well, I got clear. I mean, this one has a beard, so, like, he could be. Yeah, the beard is masking a complete lack of. If I shaved, I look like Gumby. Welcome to Burning Hell. What's up, guys, welcome to hell. We have two exciting guests today, because two are better than one. We have Max and Jack from Friday beers in the building.

It's hot and here. What's up, guys? What up? Hello. Pleasure to be here with you and your cat. They have very LA energy. Was that, are you coming from me with that comment? Was that like shade?

No, no. I was actually more curious about the cat because I can hear. We're cat, we're cat, guys. We like cats. Okay, good. Then this podcast is going well because you never know. You guys have Friday beers. Did you ever think that you would have this incredible kind of media community?

Was this your plan? Yeah, from day one. Before day one. Jack and I growing up, we're like, yes. When are we getting a lot of? our media community. Actually, it's been, we actually tried a lot of stuff

and failed before Friday of years, obviously, like, took off really, like everybody does. Wait, I love the failing stories. What shit did you guys fail at? What were some ideas you had? Oh, my parents got divorced. You're like my parents' marriage? Instead of being good sons.

I didn't make the varsity basketball. basketball as a sophomore. We had a bunch of comedy projects. I wouldn't say failures. They just never really reached a critical mass. Well, there's a failure. Some really bad stuff happens before good stuff. Like, we've been trying, we just, like,

this is the best advice to anyone ever gives. Like, if you want something to happen, just got to start doing shit on your own. Like, don't look to anybody else to make it happen. So Max and I for a long time are, like, writing comedy, writing scripts, trying to get people to read them. Some were awful.

So I'm a little bit better than that. And people are like, oh, this might have potential. And then Max Lunday just like started picking up on a camera and said, all right, let's make sketch comedy. And we're doing that a bunch. And we had like a thing called 20-something comedy for a while. And we just couldn't crack like a threshold of followers for Instagram, I would say. Yeah, it was just, it was like very kind of like low production, low-fi type of sketch comedy.

and it just didn't really, it wasn't catered. Corn level production. But, you know, that works for some people. Yeah. I started, I was, I started a fruit, vegetable, like leather business, you know, fruit leathers are. I was trying to be a food entrepreneur when I was 24. And then I also sold tie-d-dye shirts, but that was before quarantine.

I was like ahead of the fashion game, you know? And now tie-d-shirts are like super in, so you could be a... Yeah, I would have blown the fuck up. I was just really ahead of my time. It's called Spill Supply. Yeah. I'm not going to brag here, but I'm basically the Steve. We'll call it Swill Supply, and it'll be done by you with us and us.

Done. With the contract. So why do you think Friday beers hit? Was it luck? Was it just experience that you guys, like, learned what was working? And you got your kind of humor more in terms of what you wanted to be? It was really the, it was really the format and the delivery. that I think people were ready for.

Because people don't have attention spent anymore to watch like a two to three minutes sketch on Instagram. So we thought the jokes were making were pretty funny. And then we just discovered this format where it's like take movies, TV shows, sports music that people like know and recognize and put your jokes, the characters, in a way of making comedy on top of that.

So that's what we got people to watch it. And then as people started to watch it, they were totally relating to like the characters and like the struggle and the inside jokes are going to because honestly Friday Bruce is about everyone's go through the same shit like we all hate our jobs and like miss our ex-girlfriends and

are wondering when we can get to the end of the week and just like finally release and like suck down in peace or something so that's such like we found that was like such a relatable way of life that people are forming a huge community around it so it's been awesome to see that

and as like two guys who are doing humor and finding relatability how much have you dealt into like guys mental health like do you find that guys are open like they like the humor of like actually bro i've been crying about my ex-girlfriend or like actually bro like how much have you delved into that a lot i mean i think uh sad voice we're very pro therapy we encourage everyone to go to therapy yeah get to know yourself get to know your emotions and i i think it was refreshing for people to see the combination of like the traditional what is what is

consider like traditional party humor but mixed with a little more like self-awareness and self-deprecation and uh and not being like afraid or a shame of being like I don't feel great yeah yeah because I feel like anxiety about my work and my relationships and like my family and like that's totally fine to admit yeah I feel like a lot of female comics it's very easy to be like I have anxiety my PMS is acting up I drink a lot of wine I'm depressed but I feel like the men are feeling the same. And I feel like, especially with partying, if you're partying, it means you're releasing or you want to escape from something. So do you feel like you kind of have helped bros, like while they're drinking beers, be able to open up a little more? Or like, people are bonding

over it? I really hope that people are coming away from Friday beers and saying, like, it is okay to admit that I am like trembling in my bedroom on Sunday night because I am like so anxious about what this week is has in store for me yeah yeah there are some comments that uh i see often where guys are saying like you know this gets me through the week or on sundays it's like you know i don't know what i would do without this account you know how i'm feeling like how i'm feeling it's like people feel in the same way people have said uh to us probably the most flattering thing that's said about pride of years it's like horoscopes for gods zodiac sounds oh my god i love that so much i was just tweeting about like how to

guys not believe in astrology but they believe in doge coin right i mean we're there we're there astrology or like car card reader or whatever it's like this is what you're going through and you can look to the stars and like see a little about what we have what life has in store for you and i i don't know if you should you're just nailing it so like on the head but we're working on a project right now that is essentially exactly what you're talking about about guys being more open about their emotions and feelings um that we've been working on for about a year but it's basically trying to create like a live therapy show for men trying to bond with other men on a deep best like this is so important oh yeah no i actually my like psychic senses were tingling because i feel like there's

there's such an open space for like men to talk about this shit because i feel like women are a little ahead in like opening up and talking about their emotions there's recently someone had a funny bit jane mcnelly she's a comedian in ireland was talking about like guys will literally hang out with each other and you'll be like oh what did you guys talk about and they're like nothing and you're like the whole time the five days you were with them what's going on with steve and they're like nothing is you saying anyone i don't know what did you talk about here's what it's called men do side-to-side relationships that's all or short relationships and women do face-to-face relationships where they're actually talking to us so it's like men are talking

about like whatever bullshit like college basketball games on instead of like dude I think ass was gonna leave me and I'm like really worried for the years of my life he said like Steve is just really quiet the whole time he's like yeah yeah that's it up so you guys personally you know you're two successful LA bros nice tan nice draw lines what would you stress Nice shot on. I mean, this one has a beard, so, like, he could be... Yeah, the beard is masking a complete lack. If I shaved, I look like Gumby.

It's not like Jeff Rogan without a beard on, I think it was on Instagram last night. It was so alarmingly off that I, like, got to believe it was him. Okay, so clearly I have to call you guys out. Max, what are you most insecure about yourself? my jaw line I mean yeah we just discussed that in my beard I'm insecure

it could be physical go there God this is deep my step back jumper I just part of my now you're doing exactly what she said that guys is my basketball game that just isn't complete

everything goes back to like that one college basketball I mean, I get it. Yeah. Are you single? I am single. Yeah, I guess dying alone. Okay. Now we're getting to it.

Okay. Why do you think you're single besides the fact that you clearly can't open up about anything? I mean, honestly, and this probably isn't a surprise, but given you, we run a five years meme account, but a lot of it has to do with my immaturity. I just don't think I've ever been. mature enough to have like a serious relationship i can attest to that uh i'm getting there i'm getting closer but for a long i mean most of my 20s was was spent in a perpetual state of adolescence as

they say so hopefully one day you're getting there i see it every day you're you're moving for oh my god jack is so supportive right now he just got a great new place you show me a picture of his plasma screen TV that he got hung he's got a nice futon couch he's got a real nice one bedroom place. Wait so do you feel like having feelings for someone and like enjoying life with someone comes with maturity

like it's one and the same? Yeah I think you start to realize like what's important like what's most important and like the quality of relationships is just your perspective changes you know. Yeah. You're looking for a bit more meaning

versus the the chaos of your 20s which is great but um you feel like you learn you learn a lot about yourself and then you figure out what what you really want i'm currently working on a bit because i've i'm 29 so i've had my fun in the 20s i was always attracted to kind of like fuck boys and i just got engaged and people are like did you find you thank you did you find the one non fuck boy in manhattan i'm like no i found a retired fuck boy he's 45 he's he's he like he like still very charming and like but he's he's not like chasing women he's on the verge of arthritis like you just find them when they're fucking tired they can't go anymore well the prize racehorse

just put out the stud you can't run in the kentucky derby anymore exactly like he still has great genetics and he's not going to go back because like he has a pension he has my pussy pension like why would he go back to the way um good fine by you congratulations thank you i appreciate that what's your biggest insecurity um physically i used to be really insecure about my eyebrows like super thick eyebrows um yeah monsters and uh i now get them trimmed so like i can control them a little bit more um i also have inverted knees and inverted sternum physically he has knock knee yeah it looks like like a slightly shallow chaz he said even though you described And it sounds like you're seriously, seriously disneyed.

She asked what I was, like, instant cure about. Like, I, I know, but it's like, yeah. So, like, my knees and like a little, like, twinky chimies. He looks like Gumby, but when Jack just walks, he is. When I stand up. I have gotten. Eat cereal from your chest. You have one of those?

People used to say that. They used to joke in college, like, let me eat cereal out of your chest. Yeah. But that's fun, that's unique. But this is the question. How tall are you? I'm 6-2. Yeah, so that doesn't matter.

You could literally have one, like, no one gives a shit. No one cares. You're 6-2. I am all, but I am the shortest guy in our family, if you can believe that. Max is 6-3. Our youngest brother, he's like 6.3 and a half. It's like you meet a cute guy, and then you meet his family, and all his brothers are taller, and you're like, fuck.

Got the wrong one. You meet Kevin Jonas. Is he the ugly one? Yeah, I think he's like the odd bar. Is there known to be an uglier or like a less desirable? Nick and Joe are like the base plan. But you can't have like three stars. That would be like a lot of fighting, I feel like.

But in your brother ship, why did you pick each other to work with? Like, why not the other brothers? He does work with us. Oh, never mind. Sorry. Yeah. Why do you guys? The reason I guess like we've been working more closely for a long time

is just because of age difference. So our younger brother is six years younger than us. Oh, that's true. So he was doing it. It's like the intern. I referred to him as the intern for a while. Have you guys ever heard like don't mix family a business? Like what's happening?

Yeah, we heard that. And we're learning all the ups and downs of it too. but you can trust each other yeah it comes down to like trust and like at the end of the day can't as they say in arrested development Barry's family and you can't fire family

yeah actually I was I did date a guy once whose family ran a dairy farm and his brother would try to fire him every day because he wouldn't go to work because he played golf and he was like you can't fire me this is a family business fucker

so I love that for you guys you guys are kind of like the Kardashians of Instagram. Wow. Of mail stuff. That would be very good for our business if we were as high profile as the class. Well, like, because the chemistry between family

is like next level, I feel like, especially if you have a good sense of humor. Yeah, that's the reason why, you know, Jack and I have been working together for so long is just the comedic sensibilities are so aligned that just so easy and that the work is so much better when we work together. And I think the other, it's a double-edged sword, right?

We're like, you can be, you are like so aligned, but you can't be so honest and like, you can cross lines. Cross lines a lot easier, yeah. Well, what's the last time you guys got in a big fight over business? Like two weeks ago. It's like a pretty regular. We're working on having it be a little bit more like.

We're trying to get a house therapist. no that's important and we definitely noticed this like from the early parts of Friday beers when it was just like a project and we could sit around and make dick jokes all day and laugh about it and just really think like hey wherever this goes it's it's going to be great it was a different dynamic and then like when it scales up like we all quit our jobs to do this full time you live out here like we're pursuing it pretty hardcore then like all like sort of like shit that makes a business run like trickles into it and then you get pressure and there's like if we fail we got to move back to

fucking Connecticut and like all that comes in so that's where I think you have to go like coach the cross we're actually to play baseball actually oh nice nice I would love to coach a little league team I think it's so fun it's actually so cute and I think that would be a great like um web series for Friday beers you've like two guys just like drunkenly coaching little we used to coach summer little league baseball and we have some hilarious stories about like angry parents and shit I was an umpire too oh so the parents are coming for you

oh yeah I meant umpire yeah that's wild so you guys are launching a song please give me the details I want to know everything of this plan and this kind of you guys getting into the music industry The big Friday Beers spin-off. Hell yeah. So we're launching an artist. We just explain how we have like characters.

Yeah. So for one familiar, you know, Friday Beers has this cast of characters, as we mentioned, like zodiac signs for guys. So they're recurring in all of the sketches we make and the videos. And, you know, they range from just like people, kind of archetypes of people in your friend group. So we have like the booze bag. We have the big fella.

We have, you know, wild card. Jimmy Heaters, who smokes six. Jimmy Heaters is the guys who, you know. La Beacca, who's the really basic one. Fringe guy, the guys that kind of in the group, kind of not in the group. But that's what he wants to be. And then so the music character we have is this guy named DJ Press Play, who was like president of Oz for DJ, your friend group.

Front seat of the Uber. Who needs the ox every second? At a whole times and that considers himself, you know, a festival level DJ, even though maybe played a couple of shows at his fraternity. I like, he only knows how to do. next song Q on Spotify's as all the DJ Press Play

is based on a friend of ours and he is now we're releasing him as an actual artist and his identity is anonymous he wears a mask a la daft punk

marshmallow he's going to be bigger than daft punk it's very mysterious background in history he was like DJ and Korea for a while and no one's heard from him and he's now he's back with a new brand new identity new mass we are rebranding him and his first song um is dropping May 25th and we're talking about it we uh and we would love to give you the exclusive preview of the track first right before anyone

else has heard it I would love like the breakfast club like on a power 105 and just being like I'm 97 or Power 105. Either one. I think the best way to share the song with you would... Are you doing now live? A song is called Ecstasy. Yeah, a song is called Ecstasy. Oh, nice.

Okay. And it's with two other artists, a group called Sunday Scaries and a group called Curry Cartel. Shout out Sunday Scaries and Curry Cartel. So how long... I have a couple questions for us, and how long did it take this song to be made?

um the song has been in production for about six months i would say wow and how much involvement did you guys have and we're the masterman so how much so did you press play just press play well that's the that is also the wink like does he just press play or does it is there more behind the yeah it's kind of um it's like the running joke in edm right like how how talented are these artists actually and what we've learned is very talented these songs are like it's about the eye like they have an eye for it you know and the energy they bring when they press play

but what is the inspiration behind the song and how do you think Friday beers the audience will feel when they listen to it? We took a bunch of ecstasy out of panic attack it's supposed to be kind of like that really feel good song that you play in, like, the, you know, earlier middle of, like, a party and just gets the people

going. I'll put a, I'll put a reference for you. This is a summer 2015 sloppy tuna, beat dog. And it's just nothing. I was trying to put it in your vernacular there for you. Thank you. I appreciate that. You've got nothing, like, no worries when you're hearing it.

It's like, just want to visit. It's really easy to dance to. it's just like take a pill feel amazing and you don't need to take a pill metaphorical pill take your birth control take this song pill take the medicine take the medicine you guys you guys are you big um music guys yeah i am definitely um and and that's a big part of the friday beer's content is like the art music and uh yeah i mean music is it's definitely a form of therapy for me. Just a very specific taste. Well, I wouldn't say, I know what I like. You're pretty eclectic taste. But like, uh, you can immediately identify. I can immediately identify what I, uh, I vibe with

or not. But, uh, but yeah, music is huge. Do you feel like your taste in women is as good as your taste in music? No, I have horrible taste in women. And you definitely don't know what you like in women as much as you like in music. I'm clueless when it comes to women. I know exactly what I like in music. Well, I feel like with dating, especially in your 20s and I guess 30s, because here we are, it's a lot of like a research phase. Like, I don't like to say you're failing.

You're just like researching from person of person until you know and you don't know. Wait, Jack, are you single? I'm not acting days as well. Congratulations. That's fun. Jack, do you have any advice for finding your person? The data collection phase is huge. Yeah.

Sort of knowing, like, what's out there, making mistakes, going down a lot of paths to realize, like, okay, not going down this path again. Yes. And learn who you are until you go out there and like fuck up a million times. So if you put a lot of pressure on yourself, like, figure it out, like, pretty automatically, like in your first three adventures, like, it's not going to happen. Exactly. And I feel like relationships are mirrors.

And if you're not like cool with yourself, you're going to constantly be like fun. That's exactly what happened with me is like until you get really comfortable with yourself, you can't like be good to someone else. And also just go in fucking open kimono, as they say. And that will make everything easier. I love that so much because that's what happened in my relationship. Because guys are very easy to trick, you know.

Yeah, for sure. Like six months easily. I could trick to, like, think any... I have friends who will be like, I memorized every guy in the Yankees, so this guy thinks that I like baseball. I'm like, you psycho bitch. But it always goes back to bite you to death eventually.

I would have liked to meet her because we're a huge Yankee fans, massive Yankee fans. You are? Even if she was pretending, we would have loved it, yeah. That's so awesome. I'm, my fiance is a fan, and it's been hard, because whenever they lose... They have just won seven in a row, though, so...

They're doing it. great but whenever they lose I'm like is this what the rest of our life is like we just with a losing team let me answer that question the Mets will be with you for the rest of your life yeah it's it's it's been like a little bit of tension but I kind of like the trash talk because like he like doesn't care about the Red Sox I'm like you don't hate the Red Sox and he's like I don't know there's like another team I'm like hey the Red Sox want to hear a funny anecdote about the Mets of course it's I guess it's not that funny it just would have been so It was last March before we were, when we were pre-COVID and Friday beers was like seriously up trending.

The Mets reached out to Friday beers because, and we started planning a Friday beers day at City Field for later that season in August. And they were, we were going to have like a whole like bleacher section and like free beers. They even said that we could throw out the first pitch if we wanted to. I was like, I haven't heard from this. And then COVID happened And obviously we couldn't have it But it was as Yankee fans It would have still been the coolest thing we ever done

It's so funny I like didn't even apply to colleges in Boston Because I was just like wait It's like we don't fuck with Boston People don't fuck with Red Sox fans Wait but yeah Because you guys are from Connecticut So you like that makes sense

Yeah Okay guys I just got the video And I'm gonna play it for you Move your body left right Left right On an ane More die more die more We can do it all night, all night.

You're all I want, you're all I want. Because baby, when you're next to me, next to me, it feels like I'm more ecstasy, ecstasy. I'm higher than I'll be, ever be. You're all I want, you're all I want. Love your body, every, every, every right. What is you don't know what I'm going to be able to be.

You get pointed out of the night, all right. Just the hearing of everything is to be. It's just going to be. It's the speed. On the other, I'm going to have to be. It's a big. This song Is it spectacular.

This song is so hard. And the cameos in this video are so clean. The connections you guys have is wild. Yeah. And you're so late. It's such like a good summer, like light, chill, no worries. Party. It hit hard.

I'm so into it. Hell yeah. You got to get that plan. And what's like the hottest bar that you go to in New York right now? Maybe it would be surf lodge. Is that still pop? Yeah, you've got to get surf lodge. Butter, please.

We're kind of position it as a song in the summer. So that's, uh. Do you remember when a millie was the song this summer? I'm old enough to remember that. Was it the song in the summer? Do you remember? Everyone's like Lou Wayne. A milly is the summer.

I mean, it's like, great. song. It is a great song. I'm happy to have a summer again. So for all the single ladies listening and we have a former fuck boy, I'm just assuming. I know we have a current fuck boy. What advice I told you we were self-aware. We have a whole brand built on male self-awareness and introspection. Hell yeah. Like these guys like they love therapy. Some of us are further in our journey. I just want to know what advice do you have to single girls who are dating? and out there to, like, meet the right guys or, like, bond over humor.

Like, give me any advice you have. Wow. Follow at Friday dot beers and just sort of just quote every video that we make and try to act like, if you want to memorize prior on the Yankees, memorize all the characters and jokes on Friday beers and pick up tons of guys.

I feel like Friday beers need some kind of, like, dating thing because, like, I could get the girls. Let's, like, you have the... Let's talk about this idea. because we had a really funny experience last week. We have a bunch of, like, ambassadors who work for Friday Beards, sort of, like, college kids and just out of college kids. And they, you know, help us, like, sell merch and stuff.

Like, they get, like, a code and their post about us, and they're part of the Friday Beers family. So we had a big Zoom call, like, you know, hundreds of kids on a Zoom call. And they would bring them up from the audience. It was like a Zoom conference. And we would bring up a girl group, and then we'd bring up a guy group. and then we would have to watch them have a live date in front of us on zoom or like try to pick each other up on zoom it was so funny really funny so good we'd have like three or four

four girls from like university of western ontario and like four rap boys from university of oregon and they're just like in game at each other it was great i mean i just feel like there's so many single people that just need more opportunities to like connect and um i don't know they're a year behind an opportunity so uh i guess my advice would really be like don't assume the game is going to come to you and like kind of go seek it out like you got to create the action you want to see in this world so if there's somebody if there's somebody that you're interested in talking to like just go up to them and say something because ultimately you just walk away like that's that's that'd be appealing to me is just like i'm going to go up and

talk to girl have a girl come up and talk to me too Yeah. I've always been very into that like guys have their own insecurities and like you can't assume the guy that thinks you're cute at the bar is going to go walk up to you. You might have like a bunch of girls around you or like a bunch of other guys he thinks you're with. There's so many things. So and what happens when you put yourself in the position to be lucky. And I think even just like going out, you got to put yourself out there. I know there's memes about like being antisocial and staying in and whatever. I fucking hate going out sometimes, but I feel like I wouldn't have met my guy if I wasn't, like, hanging out with someone who knew him and put me on the Insta story where he saw it. Like, you just never know, but you just got to keep putting, like, your authentic self forward, I feel like. Now I'm just giving advice. How did this happen?

That's it. I feel like this antisocial thing is like a Gen Z thing for somebody. Yeah. Like, everything we've ever known is, like, good is on our phone or on our computer. so why would I leave that? Yeah. And that's like going to become like... Where I feel like millennials are already dealing with like

the depression and anxiety of real life and dealing with social media our whole lives and we're like, no, I don't want it anymore. I don't know Instagram off my phone like every other day. You should become bloodites. Bloodites who hate technology. I'm not trusting a generation who ate tithpods. Well, actually I have one more question

because you guys have very L.A. monotone vibes, which we love because I feel calm around you. what's the difference between girls from L.A. and girls from New York? I don't know this because I just moved here and I'm engaged, so Max has to answer this question. Max, let's make some big generalizations.

I don't like stereotyping. I love stereotyping. I love stereotyping. From my experience, I grew up on the East Coast and then I've been in our life for four years. I just think girls in

LA have a much just different ambitions I guess like they're they're kind of more looking for Instagram followers yeah

I'm trying to think the best way somebody told me this one this is a very sweeping generalization but how you get ahead in New York and how you like

New York is a big character city where it's about who you are on the inside and then LA like you get a you can get pretty far like immediately get far with who you are on the outside it's like superficially drawn but that's also kind of ironic too in a way because the way people dress out here is like really cool is like look like you're homeless and like wear a sweat suit and then in New York like that's the best part about spring in New York is when you finally start to see people walk around in the streets and they're just dressed to the nines and they got fucking

bomber jackets, nice jeans, and sunglasses, and, like, people watching is amazing on the streets in New York. Oh, yeah. Is that person actually living under a bridge, or they're, like, living in, like, a we-ho mansion? Well, there's a weird thing where, like, yeah, the poor people dress really rich, and the really rich dress really poor. Yeah. You don't know what's happening.

The best way from you to describe it is, like, the L.A. relationships can be surface level, versus in New York, like people are trying to date and like find, you know, people in L.A. are not trying to be monogamous. Interesting. Interesting. And there's also so many options at both places. I think they said like a degree from an Ivy League on the East Coast

is like a blue check mark in L.A. Yeah. I love mass stereotyping L.A. and New York, but both of them, I just love places that have great energy and people like live in their dreams. So, like, we love L.A. I was going to L.A. and not wearing makeup and getting judged. We're in New York. If you don't wear makeup, you're, like, edgy and, like, confident.

Okay, it's time to play The Seven Deadly Sins, because you guys have been giggling too much. Seven Deadly Sins. Max goes first, because I like putting him on the spot. What are you greedy about? And Jack, you could jump in if you know something that he's not being open about. That he's not great about? I am. No, that he's just not being open about.

He's just hiding it. You have opinions on, uh, on, and on like, creative a lot. Like, you're very greedy about making decisions. Greedy? Yeah. Like being in control. Creative, I'm greedy about creative control. He's like, I'm greedy about the punchlines.

Yeah. How about this? He's uncompromising about certain things when he has a vision. Okay. And you knowing what about him? More traditional greed. Like food sometimes, you can just like, you can eat really fast and take the biggest portion for yourself. Jack, what are you greedy about?

Personal success, I feel like. I just like really want to like do what I love and be great at it. And like, when I see other people doing well, I'm like kind of happy, but like I kind of want it for myself too. Yeah, you could use it as inspiration. Yeah, I used it to be like, fuck, I want what they have. Well, this leads me to my next question, Jack, who are you envious of the most? It's not a person, can be a type of person? Yes.

I'm envious of somebody who is so, comes from such means that they are able to do whatever they want with, like, with no repercussions and, like, pursue any type of, like, creative passion, pursuit and like and i get more obvious to them when they're like not doing well at it either how respect them if they're doing really well it's like kind of cool but if like you have a great an opportunity to do something amazing and then you don't like like you just come on like you can do what you want i always joke like i always like i was like i want a guy who's successful but i don't want a guy who like came from money because i feel like they just like they don't look at the No, none of the same fire, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Like, if someone told you, like, you could live in a sick house and travel wherever you wanted to and buy whatever you wanted to, do whatever you wanted to do professionally for the time that you were like 18, instead of having to like, I mean, that's, that's an envious person. But I also think there's like darkness and sadness and that because like deep down they always feel like they've been given stuff and who knows who's fucking. up there annoying dad is who like probably didn't hugged on my place.

I'm not, I guess I like the aesthetic of it more than like I probably know like the, yeah, the anguish behind how that affects a person. Like being in private jets could be lonely. But if you're well adjusted and that's you like that I'm, I'm busy. Max, who are you jealous of? I'm jealous of people who, um, who don't get really paranoid when they smoke weed. I get so anxious and paranoid that I can't smoke weed anymore. And it's kind of, it's a bummer.

Wait, Max, I'm the same. I smoke weed like once every year and it always ruins everyone's night. I've been smoking CBD, which is like basically in old duels for weed. But I can't do THC anymore. I just have like a essential crisis every time I smoke. you know what i'm also jealous of i'm jealous of like a guy who just lives like a very simple content life watching like premier league soccer and like drinking in the pub and like some place in like the UK and like works as like a scaffolder and like just doesn't need anything more

than that like he's just fucking pumped and goes to the pub on saturday with his mates and then watches the match and like he loses his mind funniest funniest funny as happy has gotten that is an epic epic lifestyle you know that's one of the best answers i've ever gotten because i like people be like oh maybe like someone who could just like live you know with goats and like be happy away from everything but it's like no just that person who is content with everything they have what are you guys gluttonous about like what do you overindulgent I was serious know when to stop drinking

then like so drunk and like still want another drink like when it doesn't like need a fact and like I try to make my resolution so many times it's like when you've had like 15 drinks

you don't need 16 drinks like the marginal returns are so bad and my fiance gets like so mad at me about it but like it gets your point out of it's like the next beer is like it tastes so good but it doesn't do me like I've run Friday beers it's on brand But that's what you even more pathetic about it.

Clearly overconsumption of beer and different types of booze is a running theme of ours. I also have a bad thing about desserts sometime, like when I'm really, I could just eat more and more and more. What's your go-to dessert? I like, like, chocolate, like chocolate cake, like chocolate cake, vanilla ice cream. Taco hot lava cake, I forget that. Unbelievable. They have, like, the cake that's probably like the size of fists. Like, I can put the whole thing.

in my mouth in one bite if I want. You're like, if it was socially acceptable, that's how I'd eat it. Like, when I was 16 years old for my birthday, I wanted, you know the, you know the Matilda scene where Brucey eats like all the time? Like, and he's like shoveling it into his mouth, full fist shoving in his mouth. I was like, that is, that it is a dream to do that, like just shove, like, put it your face in it. So I had my mom make me a huge bowl of pudding and give me goggles in a swimming cap so I could

stick my whole head and I was putting it because I just wanted that feeling of like more like more more and that's when your parents were like he's going to have a problem with alcohol when was the last time you guys experienced extreme anger I could I had a pretty traumatic work experience a few years back where I was just like very frustrated with somebody who was managing me and i remember i was like told i couldn't do something that i really wanted to do i thought it'd be important for me like professionally it was like sit on the sidelines for it and i came home and i just like screamed into a pillow for like five minutes like i fucking hate this and i hate this guy yeah i think um when when the lakers lost game one of the finals last

year to the heat i got really drunk and like me me and my little brother stan were huge LeBron James fan, so I just had to freak out yelling in our house and Stan had like a friend over this girl who was like, are we safe here? And they were not safe and they had to leave. I did like funny short video where I dressed up as a guy and the meme was like when guys say girls are too emotional and it's about a guy losing in FIFA. Yeah. his girlfriend's mad because he like forgot about dinners and he's like she's fucking so emotional crazy and then he literally throws his controller and like breaks it i also get really irration mad at airports sometimes like i was in an airport security line a few weeks ago and like no one just had like any idea what was going on like two huge lines then there was one line that was like four That wasn't for TSA pre-check, and the TSA pre-checked fine was like a mile long, but they wouldn't let anybody in the third line.

I just wanted to, like, shake somebody to be like, who's figuring this out right now? You could have went full Karen on them. I could. Like, where's the fucking manager in this place? It was crazy. When was the last time you guys were complete sloths? Like, you're running your company. The harder you work, the more money you could make.

Do you guys ever let yourself just do nothing? Sloth, sloth, slovenly. Yeah, I mean, like, most Sundays when I'm so hung over that I can't, like, move, it's a lot of, like, pizza dominoes and, like, true crime documentaries. Yes, yes. Yeah, I find it very soothing when I'm hung over to explore, like, the depravity, depravity? Depravity. Depravity of, yeah, you know, human humanity. Because, like, your, yeah, like, your day seems bad, but you're, like, at least I do.

Yeah, like, I don't feel as bad of a person. because like this guy was murdering people like I had a similar work ethic yeah yeah really yeah that's important mine would have to be something similar when I lived in New York I had a bed that

couch that also became like a single platform bed it wasn't like a futon it became just like one very wide large couch and like after a big a big weekend we would just call it couch bed and you would be like

I'm not leaving an apartment you order to take out from like Chinese wings pizza milkshakes you get it all in and then you watch like six movies and just go from the couch to the table to eat like back and foil

guys this is self-care it is great I love it which one of you has a bigger ego oh man tough question I don't know if I guess it depends on the moment

Yeah Because like I I fluctuate from like crippling self-doubt To like illusions of grandeur Depending on the day Like sometimes I'm like I should quit and like go like We're at a gas station

That's called being a comedian I'm like Anything is possible Like we can make a movie I have not a big like outward face and you go Like I want like attention or anything like that but i think i have an ego that i want like to be like respected and that's when i i get a little pissed off i i completely understand who are your guys celebrity

crushes um um Bradley cooper yeah you guys love du olipa right no she's gone yeah duela blog just on instagram yeah hey ailey steinfeld is our number one yeah okay why Why, Haley? Yeah. I think you're like Haley. You know what? We met her actually, actually in a sketch with her.

Yeah. Oh, shit. Yeah. She does it all. You know, she's a quintuple threat. Yeah. She's set. Yeah, she's definitely the number one celebrity crush.

I would say, I mean, Harry Styles, close second. I got off the, totally off the radar one. I've been watching this F-1 series drive to survive on Netflix. And I'm just, like, loving the F-1 guys in general on the lifestyle. The guy who runs the Red Bull team, Christian Horner, is like Mr. Chil. Like, he lives on, like, a farm in the Cotswolds and, like, drives a tractor around. He's married to Jerry Hall, like, Spice Girl. Oh, sweet.

Jerry Hallway. Whatever. X twice girl. He, like, drives his Asson Martin into the Red Bull thing, Red Bull office every day. I'm like, that's the guy I want to hang out. So much bromance energy. I love it. Well, to wrap this up, I have one final question.

What advice would you give to the listeners on how to cope with your hell? So when you guys are going through it, you know, whether it's your love life, business, just shit is dark. You have a very bad hangover with anxiety. Yeah. What advice do you have for people to feel okay? Talk about it. Don't internalize it, you know, talk about your feelings out loud with someone that you trust. Like, just, I, I was really bad at internalizing my feelings for a very long time. And it was, like, really destructive. And I started to talk to people, like, when I was feeling a certain way, I would express that. And I think that's how I get out of my hells when I find myself in then. Awesome. Seconded heavily.

And I had a quick, my quick tip is if you can do 10 or 15 minutes of like non-strenuous exercise at any point when you're feeling like that just to reset your body and your mind, I endorse. Like I had elliptical in my building in New York that whenever I would have a moment like that, I would just go do like slow elliptical, like old man style. yeah like 10 or 15 imagining you yeah it's not like asking too much you and then you break the lightest sweat maybe you do like 10 crunches a couple push-ups go shower and I was like all right now I'm more prepared to like address this mentally what I'm masturbating you know what valid whenever you're upset just knock one out but this is really good because I feel like Especially in New York, people are like all or nothing, like, oh, go do like a hot yoga at 7 a.m. But sometimes just going outside and walking for 10 minutes is enough, especially when you're depressed.

And like, I'm not signing up for a yoga class when I'm depressed. Sorry, I could be recommend against it, actually. New York can be high octane like that. Oh, yeah. Yeah, like, how am I going to sign up for yoga class when I can't respond to a text message? But this is great advice. And also, Friday beers, you guys are doing so much fun stuff.
