Hey guys, it's us The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast?

Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen.

We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite on Humor Me with Robert Smygel and Friends, me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform?

We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Winning on Clay is an art. The rallies are relentless. And at the French Open, only the toughest survive.

I'd know. I competed there for decades. Join me, Renee Stubbs, on the Renee Stubbs' tennis podcast for no-nonsense breakdowns of the biggest matches, the toughest players, and the moments that define Roland Garris. She's an outsider to win the French win. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lennar Rabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any surface.

Listen to the Renee Stubbs Tennis Podcast on the I-Hart Radio. Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. This episode of Bustin with the Boys, the Boys, is presented by Barstool Sports. All right, we got the fucking man himself. Zillion beers. How we doing? The common man who has climbed the ladder, I started following you when you were doing the

whole, when you got challenged to selling a million dollars of merch. Yep. And I'm kind of watching from afar because I'm thinking like, okay, we need to say, boys, we need to take notes from this guy. He claims self-proclaimed marketing genius. And we need to follow his footsteps a little, see what the blueprint he has, because we got to sell merch too. So that's why I started following you. Or not, that's not why.

I started following everybody in the Barstow family. And I kind of see the chaos, the group chat that goes on in the Barstall world. And it's just like, yo, who is this dude? And you start, and then you pubbed, you pubbed for the boys, and I was so fucking fired up, dude, with the classic rock playing in the background. He said he's fucking, all right, hey, the boys out there busts with the boys, zillion beers, and he starts chugging beer. What song do you have playing in the background?

I think it was, yeah, it was maybe ACDC or something. And I was fired up from that point. This is funny to me because it's like, I'm just an idiot, like, just trying to have fun. Yeah. You guys are the ones like, fucking in the NFL. I'm the one's looking up to you. Get out of here. I'm just an idiot drinking beer.

You can take something from everybody. Like any conversation I have with somebody from bar stool or you're going back and forth and they might DM or something. And you're kind of finding a way to fit in because, yeah, we play in the NFL, but we play football. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, I guess we're seeing, we're on this pedestal for being football players. But when you're in the world of, we're also in a different industry now, podcasting, branding, and everything else.

And we kind of were edgy about it. We kind of put ourselves out there. We curse. We talk about fucking dudes pieces in the show. We talk about all different kinds of things. Yeah. But it's like, I mean, you guys are the kings of the internet. Well, so you got to learn from those boys.

When you're coming to town, I'm like, oh, zillions coming to town. I love how you say, I think you said it yesterday. It's like, it's kind of like a locker room atmosphere at Barstall and everyone kind of gets together, especially for something like this. That's the best part about Barstle is when you have like something crazy blowing up like this. Everyone's on your side. I know, dude. It's insane.

We got to get you, like, you guys, you're in the crew now. I know. You're in the circle. I know. I know. We got to get to New York and kind of go around because you got to have that rapport like, you know, now I've met you. And we've hung out. So now we'll get to be out in the social world when we're not around each other and at least know how each other are.

We got to get around everybody else and start building that team chemistry. Absolutely. But it is, dude. When we first signed and went to Miami to announce, like, everyone's talking about. welcome to the pirate ship coming out of the way to say what's up because in in i don't know about taylor's head in my head i'm walking i'm like okay i'm around i'm on their turf i'm around them like hopefully they're not thinking that i'm thinking yeah they y'all'm an NFL player like we got a podcast we're coming in like we're the new cool boys in town yeah i'm thinking yo hopefully we all get

along from the jump dude in it but in that wild though like what people like just kind of think in their mind like have this insecurity of like i hope they don't think that i think this shit well that's like i'm saying it's the best part of a barstle is that pirate ship mentality where it's like we're in this together we're gonna pump each other up we're gonna fucking like no matter what it takes we're on we're on each other's side here yeah we're for the boy everybody's for the boys dude let's fucking go and the girls and the girls and the girls shout out erika she's like y'all'm for the fucking boys and i'm like we're also it's for the girls but if you're for the boys and you're one of the boys you're for the boys absolutely uh but rabel hit you up rabel did he's a man dude he was so

he DM me I think I got here on Wednesday today is what Friday Saturday and he just was like yo I love what you're doing come by the facility oh that I've had a lot of surreal moments throughout this whole thing which I will get into

he reached out to me and it was one of those moments where it's like I looked at his profile and he followed me and I didn't follow him I was like what the what is going on in my life right oh shit Brayble and first of all he doesn't like he doesn't like how I call him coach He was like, don't call me fucking coach.

Call me Braves. Here's Brable. He likes that you call him coach, but he likes that he gets to correct you and say, don't call me Coach Brable. Call me brave. He was like, so he hit me up and was like, come by the facility. And that's, like I said, I've had some surreal moments throughout everything, which I'm sure we'll get into. But that was one where I'm a Patriots fan. This, like, my dad is a massive Patriots fan.

That was very surreal where he was like, he just texted me his number? or he DM me his number to come by the facility and just chill that was when it kind of hit me damn this is big did you know he was a fan of you before he even hit you up so I heard it on a PMT episode which I know they talked about you guys too

oh yeah he said something along the lines of like I'm a fan of Dana and I was like all right we gotta do something with Ray's fucking go yeah hey Ray he's for the boys man and he went on PMT

and gave a stance for the boys too they didn't let he didn't let PMT, like, walk him into a conversation. They'll do that. Yeah, I know. So, you know, do you want me to ask about it? Do I need to ask about his penis? And he's like, yeah, you go ahead. Right? So do you sell your penis? Yeah, yeah, I have my penis. I didn't want to go on the

episode, be boring, yada, yada, yada, and they're like, but isn't it weird that PMT, you like, your players? Yeah. I was like, no. That's not what I'm saying. And go, yeah, go listen to PMT. I'm sure we, we have the same audience anyway, so I'm probably not telling anybody new. Yeah. But Brave goes out and he's like, no, they're going to, his words, I think his words, not mine, but they're going to surpass you. You guys are going to get lazy, lazy vets.

I know this much. We have a long fucking way to go to get to the PMT level. But you guys, first of all, you have a great, like you start off great because it's a fucking good podcast. And now that you have Barstle behind you, like I said, it's like you have this fucking massive platform of people that are just going to pump you up. I think so too. Because once we get in the season and you got Barstool involved with the football world, a world that, like, they're kind of banned, like, they're kind of banned from the NFL on going to certain things, right? Yeah.

And we're, since we play, it's like, it's like an avenue to be in the NFL. It's all so weird. Like everything, nothing makes sense of basketball. Nothing makes sense, dude. You'll learn that. Right. And we're going to have to, because you even talk about going on tour with the zilly stuff. Yeah, I want it.

Even in the football season, like we started to grow a tailgate. I think by the end of it, we have what, Alex probably a, thousand people at our tailgates. Yeah. I wasn't, nobody's even in town. Like I'm out in Oakland. Taylor's,

they're making the playoff run. And they're still running this tailgate, and there's a thousand people showing up. And we started off. Day one was 400. We just, we pay a few hundred dollars, get this bus towed to the part,

to a parking lot near the stadium. Shoutout Hunter Briley. He gives us a spot to a setup. And we just freaking, we bring in fruit trucks. We give free beer. Free shoutouts? Free shoutouts for those boys.

You got to teach me that again. You told me yesterday. Right. So the shout out. Shoutouts is, okay, so we're drinking, I got Dunkin' Donuts right now. No free shoutouts. No free shoutouts. They're sponsored.

They're sponsored. They're sponsored. They are? No, no. They don't sponsor the boys, though, so hey, no free shoutouts. So if it's a business or like a brand or something like that, it's shout out, Duncan, no free shoutouts. If it's, we've started to come to the conclusion, if you're shouting out one of the boys, because we were saying, like, hey, shout out, Dana B, no free shoutouts. We were just saying no free shoutouts, everything.

But if you're one of the boys and you're for the boys, like, it's just free shoutouts. Okay. So it would be shout out Dana B, free shoutouts. Like, shout out. I love that. Shout out Taylor-L-Wan, all the free shout-outs, bro. Like, we did the shitty pizza review, which we'll get into as well. Shout-out El-Prez, all the free shout-outs.

But that's going to catch on. If it's five points pizza, if it's a business, if it's a company, if it's anything like that, no free shout-outs. Yes, we say it. But you still say it. We say no free ads, but I kind of like no free shout-outs better. I think it hits a little bit better. It's funny. It's funny, you said no free ads, and I thought of my mind, damn.

Like there's already, they've already had something like that. Because people give us shit saying, we came up with the concept of having it in a bus. And full transparency. I remember watching Barstool in their grit van or whatever. And I didn't follow much beyond when they started to come out with ESPN and then the ESPN shut them down. And outside of that, it's not like I'm a, it's not like I was an avid PMT follower. But it's like sitting there, it's like, damn, they think we just. just piggybacked off of them.

You want to talk about transparency. This thing is 5,000 times better than anything we've ever had, this boss. Yeah, exactly. This is way better in the fucking van, dude. I love Big Cat and PFT, but this thing is the best. Hey, and shout out the boys. Shout out the boys. All free shoutouts.

All free shoutouts to the boys at PMT. But we did not, maybe, you know, the marketing world, the subconscious mind. It was maybe hidden in there somewhere. But we did not try to find the blueprint. you guys and follow. We just happened to be everyone's fucking have their humor, talk about shit, and we just found this fucking beautiful

van that are at bus, that I think you wish you would have found first. We did a pizza, listen, there's always got to be people that chirp us. We did a pizza review and we got chirped for not being original. Uh, that was the point, dude. Yeah, yeah. You know, the people who have original ideas

are like one in a million. They're CEOs of these huge fucking companies. That's why there's a 1% because they come up original ideas. Well, you're always going to get chirps. We talked about that. You're always going to get chirps no matter what. Yeah, Daniel was like with this fame that's kind of came from the zillion beers,

he's like, I can't stop looking at some of the negative comments. He'll have all the retweets and favorites in the world, which that shouldn't. I hate that I even say that because I'm like our status and weight goes with like what social media says by a robot. But I'm just saying in the world of social media, he's getting all this positivity that I follow and see and he talks about a couple negative comments. That's what it is. Everybody at bars will say the same thing.

If you, you can have, and I said this to you yesterday, you can have 10,000 positive comments, but the one comment that's like, hey, you suck. That ruined your day. Ruins your day. Yeah. And I'm trying to get better at it. Like, this is all very new to me.

I'm very, like, I'm behind the scenes guy. I'm not used to people chirping me online. So I'm trying to get better at it, but there's just those, there's always those comments that, like, set you off a little bit. Yeah, everyone... I'm trying to get better at it. Everyone goes through that learning curve.

For us, like, for me, it was as an 18-year-old playing college football. It's not like you want to go through that stuff. Right. And you're just like, you know, what the fuck? Like, you'll go on message boards and people just trash it about playing ball that you feel like you're good at playing football. I'm just trying to play ball. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And it's just like, I feel like everybody... Like everybody who's probably like PMT, I'm sure those dudes in the very beginning. Like, when you get, hey, here's a good quote. And we got it from Caleb Plant. Shout out Caleb Plant. all the free shoutouts. He's a boy. If you live for the cheers, you'll die by the booze.

I like so. So if you do stuff and you're living for that fame and for that, oh, let's see how many, like, what people say and all the positivity, it's kind of feeding you. The moment you get the booze or the negativity, you're going to die by that too. I'm not going to lie. When you said booze, I thought you meant like alcohol. Yeah. And, hey, I was going to say, in your little marketing genius, you need to say, live for the

cheers or die by the booze and you need to have a Z in there. I'm writing that down. I'm writing that down. Fucking ride that. Put that on a zilly shirt. It should be hard, but we'll give it. But also drink responsibly.

Yeah, also drink responsibly. Of course. Of course. Zilly. So, all right. So let's go all the way to the back.

Let's go all the way to the beginning. Yep. To give people perspective that might not know who Zillion Beers is. I have a name, Will. Yeah, well, you're Mr. Zillion.

It's Dan. No, it's funny. What is your full name? My name is Dana Barawi. But when I went out last night, you're right. Barraway.

Nobody knows my name. It's Italian as fuck. No, it's Egyptian. It's Egyptian? I'm 25% Egyptian. What is it? Barawi. Barawi?

I am Italian, too. But like, for instance, last night I went out, you're right. Nobody knows my name. They just go, hey, zillion beers guy. Like, hey, how you doing? Hey, zillion. Hey, zillion. Yeah, let's get into it.

Honestly, we talked about this yesterday as well. I haven't told the full story. I don't even know how to explain it to like. Start with the zillion beers, how that came about. The marketing, because that's when I had just, joined the Barstil squad and I was trying to learn what I could on the behind the scenes documentary and I saw you guys voting for who the best brand was going to be Zillion Beers. Talk about Zillion Beers

how that started. All right so it's a softball team in my town. All the free shotouts to Hangam Softball. Shout out to Hangam Softball. They are the boys. They are the boys. They are good kids. So they, this was I think back in maybe 2016. They have a softball team called Zillion Beers, which I think, I don't know if they came up with it on whatever. It was full. I just, like, I knew these kids. It's a funny saying.

I was like, hey, this is pretty good. And I just kind of worked it into my vocabulary or, like, talking to people, hey, let's drink a zillion beers tonight, whatever. Like, didn't think anything of it. And then one day, I was sitting in my bed just like, hey, I'm drinking a zillion beers today. And someone was like, you won't, like, there's no proof that you're drinking beers. I was like, all right, I took a video of myself.

I started playing ACDC. I think it was, what's the song? you shook me all night long I played that in the background which by the way I'm definitely gonna get some copyright notices for all these music I'm putting in the back You gotta be careful now

Yeah bro We get hit with that now And I was like All right You say I'm not drinking beers Here you go And I just chugged it And everyone was like

How the hell did you do that so quick I was like I don't know I'm just drinking beers Like it's just the shit I do on my own And after that I started doing that I don't know People would request songs

They'd be like hey Drink a beer to this song And so one Saturday I just did it for all day. I got pretty, you know, pretty buzzed off of it. Pretty buzzed. But I noticed. Fucking tag, dude.

I noticed that I gained, I don't know, 6,000 followers in the weekend just by doing that. I thought about weight. You gained weight, no, I gained weight too. 20 pounds. So I knew, I knew in the back of my head, I was like, all right, this has like, this has legs, this has wheels, whatever it is. People like what I'm doing. So the next weekend I went to Las Vegas to shoot something.

Again, I'm a camera. man. I have an actual job. So I was going to do like behind the scene stuff in Vegas. But at the same time I was like going on Twitter taking pictures of me drinking and stuff. People were loving it. I kept gaining steam, gaining followers. And then Dave was came back from, I forget where he was, but he came back to the office and I was like, I'm sick of seeing Dana on Twitter. I'm sick of seeing him on like posting videos of him drinking. He's a cameraman. He's a say like that or do you say it more aggressively? It was aggressive. Like he was like... Did he cuss? Did he drop some down? It was on live radio and he was like, essentially you were hired here to be a video editor. What are you doing?

And I was rattle, dude. I was rattle. I was like, because I fucking love Dave. Like, he's the guy that hired me. I'm a Massachusetts guy. I fucking love him. I was like, damn, is he actually mad at me right now? Like, I was just having fun on Twitter. You're kind of grinning, but hey, you're like the guy that has the grinned mask on, but he's crying behind the mask.

In the back of my mind, I think he just, just did it all on purpose. I think, because he's I don't want to give him too much credit, but he's a genius. Maybe he did it on purpose. I don't know. He might, he knows what he's doing. I don't know. He knows what he's doing. What were you, uh, so you're kind of shook when he says all this stuff? What happens

after that conversation? Or does it continue to happen? So I didn't, I honestly went dark on Twitter for maybe two days. I was like, I don't know what to do. I didn't, I didn't, I didn't want, I like, I knew he, I thought he was serious. And I'm assuming he was serious as well, but I didn't know what to do.

And then, Gaz, the fucking... The government wanted to keep you suppressed. They wanted to suppress me. But the people wanted to see Zilly. In the back of my, I was like, ah, this is like a good idea. Whatever it is, people like it. And the fucking pot stir. What's the guy, do you watch Game of Thrones?

Yeah, oh yeah. Little Finger. Yeah, he's fucking Little Finger, guys. Little Finger, Dad, dude. Oh, that's awesome. He starts stirring the pot, and he goes into Dave's office, and he's like, hey, I heard Dana is, like, still pretty fired up about this. Brandon. He thinks it like there's something behind it.

And then Dave goes on radio and he calls me on. He's like, hey, and that's what the challenge started. He was like, hey, do you have merch? I was like, I got fucking merch in my back pocket. I hadn't put it out yet. I had hats. I had shirts. You did have all this merch ready to go. I had it. All the designs ready to go. But

he kind of stopped you. I was like I was going to put it out that day. And then he fucking went off on me. I was like, all right. Well, I can't put it out now. Wait. You were going to put out the merch the day that he said, why in the fuck is he in front of the camera? like you're here to be behind the camera and working.

And you're like, all right, well nuts, we'll scrub that idea. I texted the girl. I was like, her name's Allison. She's the fucking best. She does all the merch. I was like, hey, we might have to like sit on this for a little bit.

And then the challenge came. And I texted her immediately. I was like, hey, get the fucking shirt. Let's fucking go. So when he challenged you, what was the challenge? It was initially I had until, so it was on Friday night at like 4 o'clock.

I had until Sunday night to sell 30K worth of merch. Anything that said a zillion beers. And I was like, honestly, at the time, I said it on radio. I was like, I don't know if I could do that, but sure, let's do it. And then it happened in an hour. Like 30K went in an hour. It was fucking unreal. What was the negotiating tactic, though?

He said something about... So he initially was like $30,000 and you can do any videos you want for the rest of your time at Barstool. I'll never chirp you again about being on camera. I was like, fuck yeah. And he also was like, if you sell 50K, I'll give you $10,000 bonus. And I was rattled on radio. I didn't really know what to say.

I took the 30K deal. We'll go 30K. In my head, I was like, you know what? All I care about is doing the fucking videos. I'm not a great negotiator. You'll learn that. I gave all my money away pretty much that I ended up getting.

But hey, It had the 30K went like that and then in a weekend Friday night to Sunday I had till Sunday night the 30K happened Friday at 6 o'clock Holy shit why do you why do you think that was um I think people and you'll learn this people like to root against Dave like in any scenario only because he makes it so fun to root against them like yeah people that it's not because they hate him it's because they want to see like he's the big guy. They want to see him lose. They love the underdog. Yeah, exactly. You're the underdog. So it's kind of like an underdog story and I think people

loved that and I don't know. I just got on Twitter, started pumping the merch and it was so fun. It was the best, this has been honestly the best month of my life. It's been fucking awesome. Yeah. And then it got up to, where in the fuck did it get to a million? So what happened after that weekend? On the next day on Saturday, he opted to 250K and I get a 50K. And I get a 50K.

bonus. I was like, all right, let's do it. That hit by Saturday. Cash to your pocket? Yep. That hit by Saturday night. Whoa, what? In one day? The 30K went to 250? Yeah. Well, the first night, Friday night, I think I sold around 100 or something. Oh my God, dude. So he was all in on it, but he also wasn't promoting it a ton, but he would give updates throughout the day like, hey, we're at this, we're at this. And then it hit. I started playing we are the champions on my fucking phone I was slugging beers

I had a Bud Light no free shoutouts but free shoutouts I'm sponsored by Bud Light but I had like a thing on my Bud Light like 30 rack on my head I'm playing weird of champions like slugging oh that's awesome And then I go downstairs you know Caleb from

Barstall Caleb Presley Maybe I'm sure I've met He's a good dude and he What's his handle on Twitter Caleb Presley He does like college football He's the fucking awesome Go ahead, keep going

So I go down stairs I see him in my apartment complex And we're just sitting there Like celebrating drinking beers And he goes dude You gotta up it You gotta go to a million I was like

I fucking love you Caleb But I don't know if we could do that Now now now if you didn't Was there going to be Were you going to lose something? I had 50K Like I'm good And so he goes

Let's craft a tweet I'm sitting there. I got one eye open. I'm like absolutely shit-based. Drinking responsibly, of course. And he's typing out the tweet for me. I'm like, dude, I trust Caleb. He's been a barstool for, I don't know, five years or something.

Yeah. Like, he's a smart dude. He starts typing it out. And he's like, all right, a million dollars sold in merch, dot, dot, dot, or nothing. I was like, Caleb, I need some money. I'm a poor guy. I got nothing to my bank account. He's like, dude, just trust me.

Yeah, I saw your fucking. apartment too. I'm like, it's not a good apartment. It's not a silly. It's not a little. No, that's not. And so I sent the tweet,

Dave was asleep. He saw it the next morning. I was like, all right, deal. And that dude right there? Yeah, it's killed. Okay. And I had,

so that gave me another week. It gave me seven days to get to a million. I was at $250. And we hit Sunday night, I think, the next Sunday night. So it was a week long, just fucking blitz.

And it was a million and you get $100,000 cash, right? Yep. Or you don't hit a million and you, that 50, you had gone. You don't hit that 50. So, there's another level. Okay.

We hit a million on Friday night. That's when I flew care. That's when I was really, that's when I was really following you. Yep. That's when I flew Kara. I said, yo, this man, he's doing it. Fucking Rocky Bowie Bowie. He's fucking doing it. There's so many levels to this thing, but the Kara thing took it over the top. And shout out, all free shoutouts to Big Cat.

It was his idea. He was like, dude, if you want to take this to the next level, you got to fly a girl in and have a zillion beer is like date night. And right when he said that, I was like, dude, there's a girl that DM me a while ago. And she said she loves jumping through tables. She's like Bill's Mafia.

She just loves getting like getting buzzed. And what's smarter than they go into the Bill's Mafia family? Buddy, that shit took off. Yeah, it's like King's Landing and they send him out to go with the Wildlings. Like, hey, go to the Wildlings. I love the Game of Thrones references. Go to the Wildlings territory and get one of the mafia. So I hit her up and this was on a, I think a Wednesday or something.

whatever. We had until Sunday night to hit a million. I flew her in and first time I've ever met her, stupidly of me, well, I made sure she was 21, but I had to like check her ID and shit. I was like, if she wasn't 21, I'm arrested right now.

I'm just drinking on camera with this fucking 20 year old but she's 21, it's all good. And so we had her flight home was Saturday morning, the next Saturday morning. And Friday night, that's when things like popped off. We went fucking nuts. Everything was going viral. and I think we hit a million that night on Friday night and then I was like Kara we gotta keep this going

like she's awesome she's fucking great like I was actually having the time of my life with her she's for the boys she's for the boys and I was like all right let's uh like do you are you okay with staying all weekend and she's like yeah let's do it and we just kept going and then Dave was like all right 1.5 million and I'll fly to Vegas with six other people just like first class

put you in a suite take you to the hockey game, all that. Did you have your 100K bagged by this point? It was bagged. So there's no... This was just extra. Now you're playing with house money. Dude, that's the best part.

It's like, I was just relaxed. I didn't have to do much. The fans did everything. Yeah. All free shots. Yeah, all free shots in the fans. No, hey, we ain't shit without the fans out there, dude. So then I had till Sunday night,

this was on... She came on Friday. I had until Sunday night to get to 1.5 million. And we hit it. it at 11.50 p.m. right before 12. No way. It was that close? Dude.

So I had a $10,000 Venmo. So I told Stoleys throughout the day, like Venmo me and I will give out a bunch of merch like for a bulk order. And so Dave tweets at I think 1130 or something that night. Right before it's about, he goes, we're 10K off. Like you got to really have a push for the last. last 30 minutes. I was like, all right, Dave,

here's a $10,000. He put that on social media? Yep. I had $10,000 in my Venmo. I was like, checkmate with Dunzo. Checkmate? We're donezo. I was like, I win. Damn. And then that's how zillion was born. Yeah, and now, I don't really know, like, that was a month ago.

I mean, you earned your keep. I know. I think that's probably what you felt most good about. Is Dave's like, who fuck? Why in the fuck is my videographer that I pay whatever to in front of the fucking camera all the time. Like, get behind the camera or fucking carry your weight around here.

Yeah, dude, he, shout out to Dave. He's just like, he's a, I joke around and say I'm a marketing genius. He, he just thinks a shit way like ahead of anybody else. He knows,

he's like a puppet master. He just knows what he's doing. And I, luckily, like, I played right into his hand and it worked out for everybody, but. You kept your composure. You played into his hand.

Because you were shook there on that first conversation. I'm like, oh, fuck. Yeah. My boss, the dude I look up to before I came here is fucking shitting on me. I hate going on like live radio. I don't like, whenever Dave, like, confronts me or anything, you can see in my face. I get all red. I get all nervous.

But for some reason that day, I was like, I know this is a brand. I know there's some power behind this. I was confident. That's the first time I've ever been confident talking to Dave in my life. Yeah. And it worked out. Did you always have the mullet? No.

That one, that was also a stupid, that was just a stupid me thing. I was like, if we hit 300,000, I'm getting a mullet. Did you say that? Yeah, I mean, you're playing into your, I mean, you're doing. Yeah. You got to be recognizable. Yeah, you got to be recognizable. Marketing genius was going to work.

Dude, it was, it was fun. And then that was funny too. Dave was like, you just made a bet with yourself on the mullet. Like, nobody asked you to get a mullet. I was like, I don't know. I think I just have to have a mullet for the rest of my life now. Yeah, what are you going to, you're going to have to keep it now, right? Until any of those dives down,

guess, but yeah, I like it. Like, I think it looks good. At what point? Yeah, it's phenomenal. The little, uh, the line you put in your side. He was like, I think a couple months ago, or a couple weeks ago, he was like, I get a side profile for the cameras, but fling it around on the side. You get a little, there you go, dude.

Morgan Wallen was like, I need to meet the zillion beers guy, but I have a better mullet than him. I was like, yeah, probably, but. That's marketing. That's why he's marketing. He's being a marketing genius. Do you guys get in the same room? we got to set that up i was telling him uh earnest earnest k who came on the bus before there's i mean

they're they're in the studio they go they sing and write together and do all that shit but yeah that's a nice mullet you are up against dude his is nice he doesn't have the stripes though it doesn't have stripes but that's not hard to do you know what i'm saying i think my next thing is i got to get like a custom something like zb or something in the side of my head yeah i don't want to go for that you know what you should do on one side of your mullet you should have that bud like a can, whatever they made on the side, and I have somebody fucking legit design that inside of your head. That would be where the fucking side is. That's the next step. That's the next step. You should just put tallies in the side of how many beers. Just tally marks. Just like 15. Talley marks on the

side of my head. How many beers do you think you've put down since the zilli, since the day started? All jokes aside, I mean, I don't want, I am a responsible drinker. I don't get behind the wheel or anything like that but in a given night i would have like during this whole thing i would have like 20 in a day how made you have yesterday in national yesterday yesterday i don't know probably 15 you said on any given night we're talking school nights yeah school nights you know what i'm talking wednesday yeah fucking talking tuesday watching curb your enthusiasm i have to like slug down a fucking butt light like damn this one hurts now are you doing it for the zillion beers are you doing it because that's just silly.

No, I mean, because you're just zilly. I'm not a big weekday drinker, but during this whole thing, if people are like, hey, I'll buy a shirt right now if you chugger beer. I'm like, all right,

fucking bet. During this rise of the Phoenix, you're selling out for the brand. I'm the biggest sell out you're over me. If somebody says, if somebody says, hey,

like fucking punch will in the face, I'll buy a shirt. You're getting soft, buddy. You read it. You just fucking, what the fuck? Hey, man, I got to do this for the brand.

Now, you mentioned earlier, you're like, until this dies down, what do you see about this brand dying down? So I think it does have a certain bit of fatigue where, like, people are always going to enjoy me drinking beers, but it's just about, like, I don't know what the next step is. I just, maybe if it's like a college tour or something, Dave, if you're listening, I wouldn't hate a college tour. Dude, I think Barstow can do any type of tour and any of the branding that they have going on. Bus and tour,

Zilly tour, fucking spit and tour. PMT, I mean, they do that's where the core is, man. You go to any college campus. There's flags everywhere. That's what I'm saying. They're all over the place. Absolutely. So I don't know, I don't know what the next step is, but like I said, I don't want to overdo it or like go too

crazy, but right now I'm just focusing on like things that, like this whole Nashville thing came out of nowhere. So it's spur of the moment stuff that I've just been kind of focusing on for now. But at the same time, I do have a real job to do back of Barstool. So that's, I kind of got to focus on that as well.

But I think at some point I have to like sit down and have a talk with whether it's Dave or Erica, whoever. Like, all right. I'm definitely in content now. What do you like what are your expectations for me of do you still want me to edit videos? Do you still want to? You're thinking like use me. Yeah. So and I think like Erica I've talked to like she knows that this thing is fucking huge.

She's a stud. She's shut out. She's the best. She is the fucking. She is the best. Yeah. So she knows that this has, like, huge potential. I think it's just a matter of, like, what is my role moving forward?

And I think it's probably a conversation I'll have, like, next week. Yeah. I don't know, though. I love it. I know, dude. I'll be honest. I mean, at some point, I got to reel at end. What is, okay.

What is your job? What is your job at Barstool? All right. So I was hired as a video editor. I started on stool scenes. I've been there for three years. So stool scenes is behind the scenes of everything that goes on in the office. It's like a reality show of Barstool, basically.

Okay. So I oversee that. I don't physically edit or shoot for stool scenes, but I oversee it like the final production of it. So we have got all free shout out to Josh, the editor. Shout at the boy Josh. He edits it and I'll oversee it and make sure everything's good. Like everything is good to be put in the episode.

That's my number one thing. Or that's my number two thing. My number one thing is I edit the Barstall documentary, which is like we've had 14 episodes, I think. 30 minutes episode. kind of comes out that's kind of branded black and gold. That's my main thing, which 14 episodes is like, I don't know,

we've spanned six hours of videos and it's just, I don't know, telling the story about it. And you oversee that stuff, right? I edit and shoot all of that, yeah. Okay, so you'll hold the camera and you also edit. Yeah. So that also, like, that's my main job and it only comes out once a month

so it's like, I can take my time with that, which is perfect for all this shit that's been going on. Like, it hasn't affected my work with the documentary at all. Right, because that's once a month. And then you oversee the stool scenes. Yeah, and that's easy. That's just like...

Is that the thing that comes out every Friday? That's every Friday. Okay. So, you know, I'm... I've always been behind the scenes, but I've always enjoyed, like, mixing it up on Twitter and, like, doing stupid shit and tweeting.

So, like I said, it was just, the world's collided and it was just all happened at once. What was your... Not that it matters. What was your following before this thing blew up? 35k or something so it's like I wasn't just a nobody per se like I had something

hey and if you don't have 35 days it doesn't mean you're not a nobody about it took a while that's fucking Twitter fuck social media dude yeah that took a while that took three years to get 35 and in a fucking a span of a week I got to 140 so

I don't think I've never seen anything like that but still a little very surreal right now. Like it hasn't hit me yet. Like I said, the Vrabel thing was the first, that was the moment when I was like, okay. This is pretty fucking. This is unbelievable. Because everything else, you just communicate with people on the internet. Yeah. Yeah. Which is like,

it's dope. But at the same time, when you get a fucking DM from Coach Vrable. Dude. That was, I still can't believe. Like, he wants me to come over for dinner today. I'm like, what? No way, no he doesn't. Yeah, he does. Oh my God. He wants to meet Kara. He's like, dude. Yeah, I'm going.

Hey, I'm not surprised, hey, shut out, Brayable, dude. All free shoutouts. Yeah, he's the man. Are you going? By the time this comes out, this will probably be, what, Wednesday? Wednesday, Thursday, yeah.

Wednesday, Thursday? By the time this comes out, it'll have already happened. What do you think? By the time this comes out, we're going to be best friends. Oh, 100%, dude. Do you think you would have, you're going to go to Ray's place to eat?

Yes. That's happening. That is hilarious. I was supposed to go last night, and he was like, some shit happened. Like, we can't do it tonight. And he was like, come by tomorrow. I'm like, all right, let's do it.

He goes, no, I read the text. He goes, I was like, yo, can I come by with Karen or two friends? He's like, you're flying girls in? You're the fucking man. Talk about how Nashville happened. How this Nashville trip happened? So. Because he didn't just, as much as I would love that he made, how long was the drive?

13 hours. 13 hour trip to be on busing with the boys. He did it for, he did it for. a funny and very good cause. And it sucks to you. You were supposed to go to a fucking spring. What was it? Cabo or something?

Cabo. Cabo. I'm supposed to go to Cabo. You're supposed to go to Cabo? Yeah. Cabo. Fucking Cabo. Fucking Italian.

Are you going to Cabo? How you doing? So I kept getting, obviously with the tornadoes and everything here in Nashville, I kept, there was this big, like, they put a tarp on their house. There's a tweet of these group of guys that put a tarp on their house. And it said, Venmo us, we need. We need beer. Venmo was with the kids Venmo. What's the kid's Venmo?

We can plug him, right? And that what he's telling you have to plug to? Yeah, yeah. So it's Ben-D-C-O-Z-A-K-K-1. Don't get in the mix with any of the fake Venmo's. Because there's people that's going back out there. Yeah, I did see you tweet the fake Venmo. And they were like, hey, that was it.

It was like, we need beer. And I was like, kind of jokingly. I was like, I'm hand-delivering these people beers. And everyone was like, all right, you have to fucking do it. Like, don't be a fraud. You should do it. I was like, all right. And so all I needed was approval from Dave.

And I texted and I was like, hey, can I just drive down to Nashville? I don't really want to fly because, A, I think it would be better for the story if I drove. And B, I don't want to get coronavirus on a flight. And he was like, yeah, go for it. Fucking, that's the best thing about Dave. He's like, if you have a good idea, you pitch it to him. He's usually going to, it takes a lot. for him to say no.

Yeah. So I drove down 13 hours. The first nine hours were at Breeze. Once you hit the four hour mark, get to like Knoxville or whatever, that shit sucked. Yeah. That's four hours was bad. Yeah. That took forever.

And I took a couple wrong turns and everything. But I got in around like 12 a.m. on Wednesday night. And they were chilling. They were just, you know, slugging down some beers. And you went, you went right to that house at the top on top. I brought them 150 beers. And this area that he went to, it's over in Germantown, the Germantown area. It's tour up, man.

It's like the twister movie. Yeah, they walked us around. There's tarps everywhere on all these houses. Like, damage, like it was bad. The tornado that hit Nashville in Germantown and East Nashville, it was pretty tore up. So he was- dope of you to do, by the way. Yeah, dude.

So he was getting Venmos, even before me, obviously, like, because that tweet went pretty viral. Yeah. And then once I got in the mix, like, he kept. he was getting more obviously with the bar still push but he said so obviously he's not going to use all of that money on beer all this money he's getting so i think what he's doing is using the funds to help out like that neighborhood um like the north north nashville area so right i don't know how much money he has but he's obviously not using all on beer maybe he used i don't know 100 bucks on

beer so it's all going to a good cost yeah that's the best part yeah so i gave him my 150 beers we had a couple down in his house and his house is fine it's just his backyard is a little torn up but yeah and then we were chilling with them yesterday me and you

yeah we went over to their house I'm talking like these huge fucking trees are like uprooted like through concrete and everything and they're just talking about how they're on a 10 day bender I'm like are you guys I'm walking through their house

it's like beer cans everywhere and they're like yeah bro I mean ever since ever since the tornado happened like we've just been on a bender Like we just go get more. People are just sitting on their porches and they're getting food supplies. We were able to, you know, these shirts that you guys see, these Nashville Strong, you don't have yours, it's okay.

These Nashville Strong shirts, you can go on the Barstool site. 100% of net proceeds. Go to Music City, Inc., which goes into directly helping the victims, the families, and the tornado relief, and also right into the city as well. but you know we've raised like two days ago it was $55,000 we were able to send and confirm that we sent it to the charity so keep going

all proceeds list it's going to it's going to Nashville it's going to a tornado relief it's going to all the people around the city so it's been it's been huge man Arsenal gets some shit sometimes about just whatever it could be there's always controversy whatever

the fucking stoolies dude when there's a cause and they need to raise money it's insane how quick it goes. The boys rally around each other. They rally. Especially the city of Nashville too, man.

Like they've been through some natural disasters and stuff like in years past. Like we had Butch Spearden on. He pretty much built the city of Nashville. He's one of the guys who's built the city of Nashville. And it's just crazy the way Nashville reacts to anything that happens. Once one person gets hurt, like the whole city rallies around. Like, you know, the boys, they want stuff to root for, dude. And then you get the stoolies involved.

It's just like... It's unreal. I'm moving here someday. I don't care. I don't know when. At some point, I'm moving to Nashville. The city's awesome, right? I love it.

I never want to leave. The city is awesome. I kind of joke, like, whatever, quarantine, whatever. I kind of hope I just get stuck here. Get quarantined here in Nashville. I got a fucking extra room, dude. I know you got your cousin here, but... I will fucking buy some new clothes and just sit here forever.

I love this place. Yo, it's awesome. Tell us about your night last night. So... As in last night, this is what it's today, Saturday? Friday night. How'd you? All right.

So I went to Jason Aldean's wonderful establishment. And then we went to Kid Rock, which was there, four floors or something. We were up on the rooftop. Yeah. And I flew Kara in. She has two friends with her. Kara, dude, she goes, she comes up to me. The second I pick her up at the airport, she's like, we have to stay out all night tonight.

We went to bed early in Vegas. like let's stay up till 4 a.m. She was Dunzo by 1230. Yeah, you posted that video. She's laying. Where was she at? It was in a hotel, in a hotel elevator. I was going to say, was that an elevator?

And so we went to bed pretty early, like one-ish or whatever, but the night itself was awesome. I mean, people were taking pictures or talking to Stoly's, we're talking to Nashville people. It was fun. I met up with those guys, the tornado victim guys. They were at the bar. We were just throwing them back with them. It was fun.

And I think I could just stay at Broadway for the rest of my life. Broadway's intense, man. I was talking to my cousin. She's lived here for five years. She's like, I don't know how you did that two days in a row. I can only take one day at Broadway. Yeah, dude, you take one day at Broadway and then you just take a long break. It's kind of like Vegas.

People who live in Vegas, it's not like they go on the strip. Oh, I think I'm going back today. So three days in a row. After, are you going to take Bray with you? After your dinner? Hey, brave, you're trying to hit Broadway? He was saying he wants to get dinner. I was like, all right, let's go on Broadway.

Are you going to his place to get dinner? You guys going out to get dinner? I was going to stop by his house and meet his family or whatever. But I think his sons were fans of Barstall and stuff. Yeah. Whatever he wants. Yeah, that'll be fun, dude. Except, hey, I got him in my back pocket.

He's the one reaching out to me. Hey, the level is different. There's levels to this shit, man. Are we still doing this shit? The workout? Yeah. I wouldn't mind having you do sprints. And in between every sprint, you got to chug.

You got a pound of beer, dude. Yeah, everyone, he's fucking drunk. We sent him to Braves. I'll get you an Uber. Where were you, a cop was taking me through these sprints? I had to chuck a beer between everyone. Did he know we were going to be hanging out? I think so, yeah.

I mean, I don't know, I don't know how the shit works with the NFL. I was like, do you just want to come to the, I was going to ask you if you want to come, but I don't know, I don't know how that shit works. It's, it's interesting. It's like, we're boys. and he'll say he would send a text like about my teeth his running joke with me is my teeth because i bought my veneers you got good teeth i know they're nice great teeth but they're bought they're paid for i'm thinking about getting invisaline and he would be like oh phenomenal phenomenal teeth like send me a picture but you got to be cautious because technically i'm under contract with the raiders until oh shit what's today 14th when does the league year starts either i thought it was today i don't know maybe today tomorrow something like that but i'm technically a raider until i hit free agency so if i were to say hang out, talk with Vrabel or any of those guys that are on staff with the

Titans, it's like if people wanted to be petty enough, they could say it's tampering. Right, that's what I was going to say. I was like, I almost text you. I was like, hey, you want come to the facility? And I was like, like I said, I wouldn't be allowed in there. I don't think you're allowed to. Yeah, I'm not allowed to. Yeah, I'm not allowed to come in. Uh, because we were, we were throwing a watch party for

one of the playoff games. And when we had first put it out, we had the Titans logo. It was like, hey, the Titans Watch party. We were, we found out that we can't be associated. Like, they could be associated with us because of me, since I'm a Raider. They're like, hey, we're going into the playoffs.

We're not going to risk losing any type of draft pick for fucking Bust with the Boys. And, Wilcontent, like, we have to remove our... We have to separate from Bustin' with the boys during this time. So we couldn't do, like, a Titans' watch party. It had to be a Bustin' with the boys' watch party for the big game.

You know what I mean? You can't brand the Titans or anything like that because of how all that shit works, which is crazy. Because before I went to the Oakland, Raiders. I'm out tailgating, you know, in the fucking parking lot. No rules, baby. Selling out for the Titans.

I like that saying. That's what you should say in high school, no rules. No rules, dude. No rules, man. I like that a lot. What else do we have? What I have some questions? Don't we have some questions? Yeah, I'm making sure I did. I haven't missed anything. I brought up, we talked about the zillion beers, the rise of the fucking underdog.

What were you doing before Barstool? So, I'm 27. I was when I first graduated college, I went to. How old were you when you graduated college. I think I need that to be known. I graduated on time in four years. I was 22 years old or whatever. He's like I was 25, 26 when I graduated. I did have a 2.3 GPA, but now my college is asking me to fucking do marketing classes for them. I saw you tweet that. So who's got the two three doesn't matter now. Who's laughing now, baby? Exactly. So I graduated when I was 22 or 23.

I was delivering pizzas after I, after I graduated. I couldn't find a production job anywhere. Boston. It's like it was all freelance stuff, internships. And so I was like, you know what? I'm just going to fucking deliver pizzas and do like freelance shit until I find something big. And then I was doing sales for nine months. It seems to be the move is delivering pizzas. Like in every movie that's based on New York or Boston and stuff, like the journey is always somebody delivering pizzas before they get their big come up. All free showouts to CPs and insituate mass. Great pizza. So I was delivering pizzas and then I did sales for nine months.

Like, I was the worst sale. I'm pretty sure I lost my company money with how bad I was it. Wait, who were you selling for? So I was doing recruiting. So if you need a job and like as a software developer, I would try and find you a job basically. Which I suck that. So you were, you were

meeting a recruit with. I would recruit candidates and try and find them like a placement in a software company or something. It was so bad at it. It was terrible at it. Maybe I got got two people jobs like in nine months. Literally two people.

I can't imagine that's a good success rate. I don't know. This story fires me up. And then from the clouds, I saw, I was a big stoolie. I've been following, like I said, I'm from Massachusetts. I've been following Barstville for a while. And Hank from PMT tweeted out one day that they just needed a video editing intern. I was like, I will do anything to get my foot in the door.

Did you have video editing experience? Yeah. So that's what I did in college. It's what I had an internship. after college. Okay. And I loved it. Like, I've always loved editing in camera. And so I sent him this long email, just like, he's from the town next to me.

So I kind of, I sent him this, I don't know, well-worded email basically of, hey, this is where I'm from. This is what I've done. I've been a barstle fan forever. Well-worded. Well-worded. Whatever. I don't fucking know, dude.

I'm not good with words, all right? Except for that day. Their words are well. Well-worded. What is it? What am I supposed to say? Good worded. Good worded.

And then he was like coming. He's like, we'll just come into New York City. This is when I just moved to New York City for an interview. I took a train there, a five-hour train. I met Hank for maybe six minutes in a back room. We didn't talk about anything. We didn't talk about anything to do with video editing. He was basically like, all right, yeah, so I'll talk to Dave and maybe we can hook you up.

And I was like, all right. And I left New York to go back to Boston. I was just like a 10-hour day just for six minutes with Hank. And nothing about video. You think he was just sizing. You have to see if you were going to hang. I just wanted to see if I was a normal person,

which, I mean, shout out to Hank. Shout out to Hank, all free shout-outs to the boy. And then, I don't know, two weeks go by and I got an offer, but from Erica. So, yeah, I got a phone call from Dave. I was shit in my pants. I was like, he offered, the offer I got in, so I was making 37K in Boston

to do this fucking recruiting. I didn't realize the cost of living. in New York was so much higher. When he mentioned the number, and it's not even that much, I was like, I will fucking walk to New York for that number. And it wasn't even that much money. Can you share the number? It was 65K at the time.

To live in New York. And I was making 37K in Boston, like fucking recruiting software developers, no idea what I was doing. I was like, I'll do anything for 65K. And so I was like, yeah, obviously I'll take that. I'll move to New York. And I'm just like couch hopping for a month until I finally found a place. you were couch hopping

and working at barstool Yeah Yo hey that's That's chasing the fucking American dream This is the best company in the world It's the best His journey You know what I'm saying

Like 2.3 like fucking There's people in the Graduates four years You know did a little video internship Fucking delivering pizzas To working for a recruiting firm To fucking tie people into a job Fucking sucked at it

Took a five hour train For an interview that he didn't even feel confident about It goes 10 hours gets offered something, and he's just fucking just moving forward. There's a couple of people in the IG chat saying, I am this guy before he got the interview. Recruiting, baby. You know what I'm saying?

You just don't know. Like, at the end of the day, you just got to continue to go with your gut. Like, hey, I want to go work for fucking bar stool. I'm going to do it. When you graduate college and you're 23 years old and you just need a job, like, just do sales, whatever. Like, get your foot in the door, just start being a real person. like you'll learn some valuable shit no matter what even if you hate it and that's what i learn it's

like i don't want to do this i don't want to do sales i need to fucking i want to do what i like and then like you you never know when shit's going to pop up yeah i don't know being with barstool are there are there things that you you wish you would have you learned about that you're like man if i could go back and would have handled it this way or differently you would have done good question um like for people out there that say i am this guy yeah like things like look like to look for and i'll say this for especially for barstall you need to have physical like work especially if you want to do production you need examples of your work you need like a portfolio especially if it's um i don't know like if it my the edit the videos that i edited that got me my foot

Nashville to da-da-da-dot hand-deliver beer and then he responds content never sleeps and for the boys so it's like you know before that

you might just think you're a guy who fucking got all this status and shit just by chugging beer and being like you know being an idiot on camera but the grind

and the shit that you basically had to do to get to this point I mean you're couch hopping working for bars still in the beginning that's the best part of this company is you don't know the next big thing that's going to happen I had no idea this was ever going to happen I was just happily editing my documentaries

like just taking it day by day you never know like we have such a big platform and such big personalities and like such a great backing that you don't know like the next big thing you never know so yeah man that's nuts dude when you were at barstool like you were at barstool for almost three years before shit really started to pop off for you too like that in itself is such an example of just like, hey man. He was at Barstool for almost three years before the zillion beers thing started to happen. You know what I mean? It's like, you never know.

I know. And then you become this person on social media, but in the office, you go in and they're like, you're kind of nervous because these boys are about to humble me. Yeah. Did you feel like that too? Like you're getting this big following on social media and people love you. Like when you go home and you get to shoot your own videos, but when you walk in the office you're like, oh, what are these boys going to have for me today?

They, it was such a weird event where everybody was on my side. Sometimes there's people at the office who's like, who may not agree with what you're doing. It was 100% like people were backing me the whole time. So I didn't have any concerns about that of like people being jealous or anything like that. No, it was like everybody was on my side. That helps. Shout out to Big Cat. Has he been the most pivotal person?

Him and KFC were like texting me the whole time and like giving me. advice and shit and obviously promoting it. So they're the best. There's a reason why they're so popular. I don't know. I think it's great because before we got on a bar stool, like I'm trying to follow, you know,

blueprints of people that I kind of admire stuff like Pat McAfee. Shab, all those boys. Shout out to the boys, man. Chris Long, and you're just kind of seeing how people kind of do their branding and things on social media. And McAfee, you can't help but kind of

gravitate toward his group of people because they're all about for the brand, all that stuff. And I Again, before Barstle, I'm following all of his circle of people. I'm like,

he's just with his boys and they're just literally on social media all the time, basically having a group chat, challenging each other, having fun, this, that,

the other. So, you know, I'm taking notes and everything. We get with Barstall and then I'm following all the Barstall people. And I see that that's how Barstall was.

I'm like, okay, here's where this started to spin off and you make it your own. It's like, it's crazy, man. It's like a locker room. It is, man.

It really is like a locker room. I can't wait to be there. I wouldn't know. I'm not in the NFL locker room, but. It's pretty much like, it's the same bullshit everybody talks about when they're not in the public, you know, when they're not in, they don't feel pressure being in the public eye and everything else. What, is he pulling up my football pictures? Is that you? That's skinny I was, dude.

That's you? Yeah, it was 180 pounds soaking wet. Is that you run down on kickoff on JV? I was a fucking receiver, dude. I like this comment right here. Can you read that one? Fox checks. Yeah.

That's just saying my buddies used to say. Fuck six. I was a, I recovered one on side kick on varsity, zero catches, one target for a pick six. It was my buddy who had the pick six too from another town. Oh, so that target that you had, it got picked. Got through it right to me. I jumped up.

I missed it. Interception to the house. I quit the next week. I quit the next week. You're also big on talking about your basketball stats. Yeah. that's kind of a joke. I mean, I did average a double-double in high school,

but I like to harp on the days of like, what, 10 years ago? I like to harp on it. It's funny. Everyone retires at some point, whether it's 17 years old, 22, 23 years old after college, or whenever we ultimately retire in professional. But everyone retires. And you're always going to talk about when you get around the boys,

you're always going to talk about your stories that you know how to, that you played in. Like, I know I'm going to be 10, years down the row. When I get around the boys, you're going to be talking about games that we were in. Yeah, those are the days. Look at that. And look, these are your days, bro. Hanging basketball. And you average a double double. 12 and 10. Do you feel like you were cheated out of a scholarship? I got some looks. You got some looks? I got a look from Oberlin College. They were 3 and 17.

Did you get an offer? Dude, look at you. I coach to hang him too, yeah. You were a basketball coach? Assistant varsity, yeah. Assistant varsity basketball coach? but yeah I was I mean I was a good basketball player but I sucked the football just a good old boy man it's good boy hey I'm for the boys yeah I love it man I love the whole story I love the whole journey what have we what have we not what have we not covered do you want to answer questions yeah yeah for sure we're for sure we've covered everything I think that's pretty much

shit we've covered everything yeah dude I want the story of fucking zillion beers and if you feel like we've done it there's so many layers but I feel like we've covered it because You're going to go on radio 15 minutes at a time, this 15 minutes at 50. But I wanted to sit down having a full conversation. I think it's pretty much covered. I don't, like I said, I don't know what the next step is, but as long as people are enjoying me chugging beers, I'm going to keep doing it. Yeah, it might turn into something where you pick the hottest times. It's like the hot times zilli comes out of the shell.

If I can, if it starts the flatline, when it starts to flatline a little bit. If I can get a college tour for SEC football this fall. Why SEC football? I feel like that's the best tailgates I mean what about Big Ten Tailgates don't sleep on the Big Ten Where'd you go Nebraska? Did you? Yeah

Shout out the boys in Nebraska in the red Baby I'll take Big Ten There we go I just need love you know what I'm saying I'm both Exactly Don't limit yourself I'll do anything

So I just had to say why SEC I'm just starting to get You know I'm starting to understand the Southern culture I don't know. They do go hard for their football. You know, they do go hard for their football. Everybody's so nice down here.

I like it down here. I just don't want you to sleep on the Big Ten. I respect the SEC. I'll go to Michigan. I'll go where I'll go. That's what I'm saying. You got a lot of plugs in the Big Ten with Dave, Michigan, Taylor's Michigan. I'll do both.

Yeah. If he accepts it. Maybe we need to find some collab. I mean, I'm ready. The Zilly, the Zilly Tour. The Zilly Bustin Tour. We guys have the season, dude. You guys are going to be.

Yeah, but this, we can. got to create something because people are for the boys whether or not we're there. You know what I'm saying? Like we had a watch party, the ASC championship. I wasn't even there. And the whole fucking floors decked out. People are for the boys. So people, you know, you know how it is.

People just need that brand, that shit to get behind. Right. And everybody's for the boys. Everybody's for the boys. Especially in football season. Yeah. Hey, if you're listening, Dave, I think it'd be a great idea. Zill.

Yeah, yeah. I mean, hopefully I am. playing on a team. Willie and Zilly Tour? The Willie Zilley Tour? How jealous would Taylor be? Brought to you by a busting with the boys? He has some fumble, but the boys making

nice money playing football. Hit the eye. Here be eye. Here be eye. William Zilly. There's no way he'd be sad about that one. I know he wishes he'd be here for this pot.

What's up, Taylor? I know. He's quarantined out there in Cali right now. I mean, he's got to keep that head low. He's got to keep that head low. Got to stay healthy. Let's go into questions. Let's see what everybody...

A lot of people asking about what do we do without any sports in our life? Dana, what are you doing, man? I'm in Nashville. I don't know. Honestly, I don't think you can travel, but I don't know, dude. Maybe... Here's how you replace the void. Pick up a new show.

I don't know. Fuck that. Here's how you replaced your void. You binge watch Bustin with the boys. Yes. You binge watch... That's what I meant to say. Yeah, that's what I'm helping them out.

You binge watch busting with the boys, and you start finding these family members under the Barstil umbrella that maybe you didn't give a shot to yet and you're going to give them a shot now. Are all your episodes on video like on YouTube or something? Yeah, yeah. That's fucking. We were set up pretty solid. Can I redo my answer? Yeah, yeah, go ahead. Go on YouTube, go on

Barstool wherever and watch Bustin with the boys. Because listen, it's the best podcast out there. Yeah, so yeah, this episode we're on. That's a sound bite. Say it again. Say that again. Look into the camera. Bustin with the boys. Go on. Bustin with the boys. Say what you said and I won't interrupt. All right. Coronavirus, everybody's kind of, you know, stuck in their house right now. What do you do? You go on YouTube.

Where else? YouTube is where it's visual. You go on YouTube. Or Apple Podcasts, Spotify. If it's audio, listen. Watch. Bustin with the boys. It's the best podcast in the world, I would say. In the world. I like that. And you watch me. I like the sound of that. You watch me

sit here like a bum talking to NFL player. And I don't even know. What am I doing? You're talking about the American fucking dream is what you're doing. You're talking about the rise of somebody who came from couch hopping, delivering pizzas, maybe eating pizzas before you deliver them. Who knows? Who knows some stories that you have on delivering your pizzas and eating on the side? I didn't eat any of the slices in the box. Okay.

I didn't do that. But you're talking about a guy from that taking five-hour trains for a six-minute interview where he didn't hear back for two weeks because he's chasing the Barstool dream, gets in with Barstool for pennies on the dollar, sleeping on couches. And then finally two and a half years later, he gets a shot in front of the camera that he's behind most of the time, chugging a beer, and people want to get behind an underdog. And we're hearing about that story now because he's Mr. Zillion now. Fucking watch it on YouTube. Listen to it. Let's fucking go. That's why people would want to watch you have a company.

I mean, hey, the boy, underdog. We're talking undrafted, no combine. So there's, you can get on board with a lot of stuff. A couple underdogs. Taylor's more of the 1% of the 1%. Yeah, pretty boy Taylor. He's not even here right now. We got a couple underdogs right now.

He's the juice, no pun intended, of the, like he's the, he's the, he's the, he's the poster child. You know, I didn't, I didn't mean that in a bad way. It's just people can take it out of context. But he's like the fucking forefront. Everybody knows the boy Tara Luan. Yeah. We got underdogs, though. We got underdogs.

That's how we get this thing churning, dude. And people get behind the underdog. I love it. And if they want to watch two underdogs, shoot the shoe. shit. The boys. I mean, I don't see what else

you can do when you're quarantined. Now, now after the episode's over, I would recommend you watching all the other barstool. Absolutely. Hey, everything at bar, there's the best part about barstool,

and I've said that a lot. I probably said there's 10 best things about barstool, but there's shit for everybody. Like, name a person, there's something for you at Barstool. Yeah,

there's no doubt. You want fucking international China content? You got Donnie. You want chicks. You want chicks. You want chicks in the office. There's everything.

Literally everything. You want football? You got me and Willie. Nobody calls you Willie and Zilly, baby. I know. No one does really call me Willie. Willie and Zilly, dude. You want football?

You got that. You want movies and shit? What is it? Lights camera bar stool. What else? Mix tape, basketball, shout out, mixtape, everything. PMT, everything. It's fucking best.

Yeah. And there's even like music. Music. Million dollars worth the game. Yep. You got the outdoors one? Those dudes are funny too. A million dollars worth the game.

Shout out the boys a million. It's million dollars worth a game. $1 worth a game. Shout out those boys. What else we got? There's not a ton of great ones, I'll be honest. What about on his? Playing in Vegas next year, and if so, we need some zillion beers.

Just win, baby, merchandise collaboration. Knock on wood if you're with me. Shout out, Adam, Jack. This is knocking on wood if you're with me. That's John Gruden, the head coach of the Raiders. Yeah. That's his big stitch. It's like, knock, yeah.

I saw that. Hey, we're going to be without pads today. We're going to be in helmets. Knock on Wood if you're with me, and everybody will start knocking. Yeah, I saw that on Hard Knocks. Yeah. Did you watch all Hard Knocks? Yeah.

Were you in it? No, no, no. I was a mid-year free agent. Oh, really? So the boy, you know, I was tailgating with the boys, and then I got picked up mid-year. But did you watch the Darren Waller? Yeah. The Darren Waller piece where he was like...

His story is insane. We had him on a couple weeks ago. He came to Nashville up from Atlanta drove. It wasn't 13 hours, though. No, no, no, no. We're talking three and a half hours. I was still surprised that he drove. I'm like, I mean, okay.

But he came on with, dude, we did two hours into his story. You talk about a fucking story that's going to come out? This, dude. Yeah. I've heard bits and pieces of it, but like, I know it's an insane story. He should be on Joe Rogan. Really? Yeah, that's my opinion.

He, that he should be going on Joe Rogan and spending three, four hours behind that mic and taking that and inspiring everybody out there because his story is insane. Where we at? Where's Papa Taylor? He's quarantined in California. What's your favorite drinking game? There you go, Zilly. What is your favorite drinking game?

Kings. Is Kings? Is Kings? Is you, you got cards? So go death? There's a bunch of cards and there's a bunch of rules for each. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Growing up, I think in Missouri, we called it Circle of Death. I love it. So if you draw a queen, it's like, that's a question master.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we call it circle of death. I've never heard that. I've never heard that. You know what I've, what game I've grown to like is that the fucking finger game. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, everybody puts their finger on and you say a number and you either keep your finger on or take it off. It's so simple, but it's so simple, but you get, you get, you get hammered. If there's nothing good, that's, I mean, we can, I don't think there's a much more than a story. Yeah, I mean, we just really, yeah, I mean, we, we, yeah, we, just bullshit. I mean, this will come out on Wednesday, Thursday.

What else are people doing? Everybody's just sitting, fucking, they'll just be watching or listening to this. There's no tournament, dude. Do you have a favorite craft beer? No, I just drink. I just drink light beers. All I see him killing, all I see him killing are the main beers. Yeah, but like, I'm a, I'm a sponsored

athlete. I am. There it is. Allegedly. Allegedly. Are those all the questions? Yeah. If there's nothing good, yeah, We don't have to do it. Is anything on the Instagram live world? This is how we do it, dude.

We don't give you shit. There's no. I love it. There's no like agenda. That's easy. There's an agenda sometimes. We just don't always stick to it. It's just how it goes.

The best contents of the quick stuff. Yeah. Let's see here. Biggest difference between the north and the south do you? Everybody's nice here. In the north. I'm glad somebody up there saying it. We are dick heads in the north.

It's tough to say when you grow up in Missouri, you go to Nebraska. When I went out to D.C., it was just a different world, man. It's like it's A to B. People don't care about your well-being. No. It's like a Hong Kong. Hey, I'm walking. I'm fucking walking here.

Also, we have, I was trying to tell you yesterday. When I was in New York when we visited the bar still ASQ. I don't know. It's just my fucking New Yorker. We have five people in the office from fucking St. Louis. It's like. Yo, that's awesome. I need a.

Y.P. Riggs, Tray, Logan. Riggs is from St. Louis? I think, like that area, I think. Damn. Because we were on the radio, I think, for two hours. I wish I would have known that. We could have talked about Missouri.

Put to Missouri a little bit. That's all right. Who is your, give me your top five people at HQ? Favorite people? Yep. All right, that's tough. All right.

If you were to be quarantined, hang on, I'll switch the question. If you were to be quarantined at Barstile HQ With three people, who would they be? Big Cat I feel like I have to say Dave If he hears this, he's going to kill me if I don't say Dave If you don't believe it's Dave, then don't say it's Dave, you know what I'm saying?

I fucking beat Dave in this competition. I don't have to suck up to him. You earned a 1.5 million. Yeah. Probably Big Cat. Zilli earned 1.5 Millie. I think it's a lame answer to say Big Cat and PFT, but they're like two of my favorite guys there.

Big Cat, PFT, and probably Finalberg. You know fights? I don't think so. He's on KFC radio. So he's just a, he's a great, he's a Massachusetts guy, he's a boy. He's one of the boys.

I love it, dude. I got, I got to follow everybody. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. Yeah, he's got big tits. He's got big tits. He's got big tits. That sucks. That's the first picture that comes up for him.

That's his first picture. Dude, oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Yeah, take that. Big Cat fights and PFTLSA. Okay. Jesus, those are some...

Why? What is the reasoning behind it? Like, what are you saying that's important if you're quarantined with somebody? So, first of... My first instinct is I want to get fucked up if I'm quarantined. And I want to drink beers. That's where Fidelberg comes in. He likes to get drunk.

Oh, shit. Marty mush. All right, you know, Marty? Yeah, that's the dude who went with you to Vegas and stuff? Yeah, I'm taking out... He's got the thick accent. I'm taking out of here, Big Cat. Get the fuck out of here, Big Cat.

I'll take it. your first say too. Yeah, he's out of here. No, because he doesn't, he doesn't drink. He's like, he, he, he, oh, let's say two weeks this guy, you're going to, you're two full weeks, your quarantine. PFT, Marty Fidelberg. All right. Now, why? Marty's my best friend at, in New York. He's just a fuck. Like, he's, he's such a good. He's just a great dude. My favorite thing. Just take that snippet. I like Marty. He's my best friend

in New York. He's just a fuck. And then that's it. So he, the best part about Marty is, is he is just a normal guy. And that's the, why he works at barstool. He's just like, one of your friends. Like he's just one of the boys that you just like... He's just for the boys. He's ready to sell out. Like he has no agenda. He just goes on with life and that's his content.

Like his content is just his life. Like he's just an idiot and people love it. Marty's my best friend. I'll take him. PFT, he just makes me laugh. For some reason, everything he does makes... You know those people in life that you know, you talk to them and everything they do makes you laugh?

Yeah. He's one of those for me. So I want to have some laugh. from quarantine. I'll take him. And like I said, Fidelberg, he's for the boys. He likes to, you know, get mangled. And I don't know. He's got big tits. So there's tits if it gets...

Yeah, I need to touch some tities. I got to touch some tities from quarantine. Why wouldn't you pick one of the women there? Because I'm somewhat wiped up. There's no firing. He's like, I got to touch some tits. I'm like, okay, well, there's females in there, too. You got to go.

No, no. We don't mix work and pleasure. Oh, shit. I got a question from the IG Live. Dana, if you could join one current podcast at Barstool, which one would it be? Besides Bussing with the Boys, obviously. Did you say besides Bussing? Yeah.

Well, that's number one. If you could, would you join? I'm not going to give you any chirps or nothing. That's a serious question. If Bust with the Boys was included. Probably. Have you heard of mixtape? No, I've just started to learn about it.

It's a basketball. I love basketball. I love NBA, probably mixed tape. Because those are, I used to go, I used to be a guest on there maybe once a month or so. And I fucking love those guys. And I love talking basketball. And I also love telling weird stories. And they allow me to just be myself and like say whatever I want.

So probably mixed tape. Okay. I mean, it started to hurt for to hear, but I had to remind myself, like, I wasn't going to hold anything against them. I feel like if I was on bus with the boys, I just get bullied. No, not with the boy on here. the third. I'd be the third guy. You might by Taylor.

Yeah. Alice can give you some insight. Like, you know. He'd share me my first, my first episode here. He'd share me for sure. Yeah.

But it is what it is. That's Taylor. I want to be the alpha. That's how he loves. You said you want to be the alpha? No, I'm kidding. I don't want to be the alpha. You'll say,

like, you'll have to just, I mean, the boy, he's got that Vince Vaughn-esque about him. He'll fucking, he can, he can dabble with the best of the wit game. Yeah.

But you wouldn't have to, you wouldn't have to worry about you, How about that? Cool. I'll take that. Do you feel like the bet? Do you feel like we take the cake in any area? Best setup, maybe?

I said that. This is the best, the best spot to like, I've ever, this is so much better than our, like podcast studios. I just want to sit here forever. I know,

this is a, this is fucking dope, dude. It's crazy. Taylor, Taylor, we found this thing. Juice from cardboard,

who we worked with in the beginning production. Shout out the boys, juice, Pee. This bus was for sale in like the back. lot, some gravel a lot that I was telling you about. I'm talking rain, heat, everything. We're on here sweating. We're on here

wondering if the power's going to, we're going to get electrocuted, all that shit. We're out there. We found this bus. Taylor fell in love with it. I didn't necessarily want to do it. Taylor's like, well, if it doesn't work, I'll just have a bus sitting in my back here and fun. Like, I love this thing. Yeah. So we fucking, I'm talking, it was a

shit show in here, dude. I'm talking, yeah, because he was used for tailgates back in the day. Like, there were hives. There were nests and shit in you. How long? How long have this? Uh, since, what, last, uh, May or since, yeah, May, I would say it got done early May last year. Pretty on a year. So not even a year, not even a year yet. But all this wood, all this shit, like, we put, we had to gut it, dude. All the soundboard stuff. I need that but light, uh, poster or whatever it is from I don't know if we can give that to you. No, I'm saying, I need my own. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's probably from like, 1985, man. Yeah. Yeah, bro. It should have some character to it. And as you see, we had to tape, we've had to tape some things. Yeah, I'll of you guys best set up best place to do a podcast good and and best uh what's the word fuck just like i can be myself like best i don't fucking know hold on give me what give me a second i'm a the fact that you're explaining it yeah don't feel pressure like it's it's our pod you can do also with the boys i would say in my one and a half hour of being on here it's just you can be yourself Like you can just talk, you know, shoot the shit. I would say that's what you guys are good for.

You don't feel expectation anymore. I don't feel any pressure. I don't feel any. I'm just like, I'm chilling. Do you feel pressure going on the other one sometimes? Yeah. Like I went on PMT. I was like, they're, I was so intimidated.

Well, I'm not intimidated of them, but like I didn't want to say a bad thing. I didn't want like, because obviously so many people are listening. I was like. Well, we do have 80 million. Well, yeah. We have 80 million listeners. It's, it dipped a little bit over the last hour. It's down a 79 now.

Okay, okay, okay. I can't say anything. No, I'm with you. I hear what you saying. But yeah, you can just, like, just me and you chilling. I don't know. I can see why people come on here and just, like, talk for hours. Yeah.

It's a good time. We have fun, dude. Yeah. But are we solid? I got one more for you. If you're playing beer pong for your life, who with the office are you choosing to play as your partner? Oh, is Marty. Is Marty really that fucking good at beer pong?

I don't know. But he talks a big game. But if you're going to die, if you're going to die, if you're going to die with Marty. I play with him once. He was very good. That's all I need is one good game. I'm sold. Who do you feel like I would get along with the most at Barclos.

Besides you? I think it'd probably be Fidelberg. Really? Yeah. And he loves Nashville too. We're going to be best friends, Fidelberg. I think Fidelberg and Wilcofton would be best pals. I can't wait.

I can't wait for that dad. You know who I want to meet? I want to meet the chick who's got like the condescending, subtle, like, if The show office was shot there. She has that personality. Ellie? Maybe. I don't know.

Small? No, no, not her. Kate? She's very subtle. She's very like behind the scenes. Like when PFT didn't make the team and he's kind of like drinking his. That's Kate. He's kind of like drinking his stuff at his desk.

And then the girl turns around like, hey, you know, you'll get another. She's the best. You know, this is probably your last shot. She said something. That's Kate. She's the best. I'm like, yo, she just seems hilarious. She was a.

Marine, I believe. A Marine. She was a Marine? I believe so. I don't want to say she was in some type of service. What does she do at Barcoe? Is she on a pod or anything? She does the military podcast with Chaps. Zero Block 30. All free

shoutouts. And she blocks, yeah. I thought like the stuff I've seen with, I'm like she seems like she's fucking horrors. Yeah, they got a military podcast. It's fucking on. And she's the best. Yeah. She's got like subtle humor. Yeah. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like if the office, if the show office was being shot there. Yeah.

Like, and you know how like they, they have a scene and then they kind of move the camera and zoom in on somebody else that does something? I'm changing my will.
