Episode Date: August 20, 2024

Recorded: July 16th 2024 It's Episode #290, and The Boys brought in an incredible guest for a truly momentous pod. Sam Morril is a stand-up comedian, co-host of the "We Might Be Drunk" podcast, and to... date, he has released several comedy specials, the most recent being "You've Changed" on Amazon. Sam came and kicked it with The Boys just in time to talk some preseason ball. He is a NYC super fan—the Knicks, the Giants, the Rangers, and the Yankees are all his teams—and he wasn't shy about telling Will and Taylor how he really feels about his New York Giants. After some discussion about football, Sam talks about his journey through comedy, starting at a young age and developing not only his on-stage performances but also his writing ability as a comedian. Sam lifts the curtain on his potential future in screenwriting and shares his favorite noir films with The Boys. After Sam discusses his professional career with Will and Taylor, all three are surprised by a nice little phone call from Shane Gillis. Sam then talks about his experience cameoing in the film Joker, followed by behind-the-scenes onset stories and the aftermath of the film's critical acclaim. In this week's intro... FOOTBALL HAS GOT THE BOYS JACKED! Two mics are broken in the first 4 minutes of the pod. Taylor has to sit in a new seat due to the damage done on the bus. The Boys talk preseason football, the QB play from last weekend, and their expectations for the NFC and AFC divisional champions.

Now, the numbers you're thinking it's probably 10% Taylor it's probably 10% of people that are not subscribed watching the views oh contrary it's over 10% it's actually sometimes even over 50% but we'll just say we'll just say what 60% 60% 60% of people who watch this show are not subscribed and listen I'm not a beggar we don't want to spread some red ass I'm not sitting on the corner with my panhandling for you saying asking for change but if you could just do me

And that is the Chevy Silverado
Starting point is 00:04:03 presented by our good friends. Guess what? At Chevy, there's a reason we've never done a tier talk for the best trucks. And that's because for busing with the boys, there's only one pickup truck. And that's the Chevy Silverado. Why is that, you ask? It's because Silverado is a partner, a partner you can depend on. We've
Starting point is 00:04:19 all spent time driving and using a Silverado for all kinds of adventures and shenanigans. Silverado was a partner with us in a spring tour and they are going to be on the fall tour, which will tell you much more about right when I'm done with this ad. Silverado brings brings the grit to legendary grit paired with a modern truck tech inside and out massive screens up to eight cameras. Eight. Eight of them. How many different views? You got 14 of those, really? I'm glad you asked to help making driving, towing and parking all easier for different power train choices. That's variety. And in this world, we all just want a little bit of variety.
Starting point is 00:04:53 We don't want to get stuck in the world day. Variety is the spice of life. I love that. There's a reason why Chevy is America's most awarded brand for new vehicle quality over the last three years, according to JD Power, which I'm pretty sure that the top dog in that category.

Starting point is 00:05:31 models. Now now. Next week I'm going to hold my breath the entire time you do that ad read. I was kind of ripping, huh? You were. You know what it was? It was the juice that Shirm gave me right before we got. Can I just get a touch of that song real quick? Don't play it over 10 seconds. Don't play it over 10 seconds. But just let me get
Starting point is 00:05:48 that. Then we just get something out of it. God. Hey, Get you juiced up. Football's back this week. All right, football's back because preseason. But we got Florida State, Georgia Tech. We got actual football happening.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Five days, four days when you're watching the show. Let's get a round of a plus. Football! Chew me up! If you're here for Samarreal, we love to, obviously, banter, talk about our lives. We got a few things on the docket before we get to the San Maril episode, which J.P., or Mitch and Shirm do an incredible job with the time. Time stamps. Time stamps.
Starting point is 00:06:25 If you were here last week for Rich Eisen's episode, they were abysmal. But however, they will have the timestamps right for this episode. So if you want to jump ahead, go ahead and do that. You're free to do so. But the boys will be talking about, number one, you said in the ad read, our fall tour, we have our schedule. Jack's judgment. Jack's judgment for his audit for him getting a Chevy Severado. The comments are going nuts.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Everybody is screaming at the top of the lungs. At the top of their lungs, where is Jack Chevy Silverado? We will get to that. the boys are going to Camp Barstow this week. We're going to talk some football. We're going to talk some preseason. And have a good time. And then we'll get into Samarreal.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Football! Football! So what do we start? Let's just say what our fall tour schedule is. Let's get it out of the way. August 31st. Drum roll. Notre Dame at Texas A&M.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Boom! All right again, just a reminder. I didn't say this in the episode, but we will be at the A&M game versus Notre Dame. And we will be out. outside tailgating with the Twisted T tailgate. That'll be from 3 to 6 p.m. Game kickoff is at 6.30.
Starting point is 00:07:33 We'll be at the twisted T tailgate from 3 to 6 p.m. outside of Kyle Field. Find the boys. We'll be on social, letting you guys know where we're at. Follow along at Bustum WTB. But sit 3 to 6. We'll be at the twisted T tailgate for the Notre Dame at A&M game.
Starting point is 00:07:48 Now, how do they outdo themselves? The next week. September 7th. We got a big doubleheader. We are flying to Ann Arbor, Michigan for Michigan versus Texas, and then we're going to hop on the old bird as we'll come from. I say it.
Starting point is 00:08:02 Head over to Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska, where the boys are taking on. Dion Sanders in the Colorado Buffaloes. The following week. No, no, no, no, no. By week. Not following week. I know. Sometime in October, Ohio State and Oregon.
Starting point is 00:08:20 Let's talk. Let's talk. Delea! Let's go! DeLique! Also, not part of the fall tour, but just, just a part of my life, September 14th. UFC at the sphere!
Starting point is 00:08:34 Fighting! If you're new here, this is not us all the time. But if you enjoy it, sound off in the comments. Sound off in the comments. If you like it, say it. If you don't like it, keep it to yourself. Drop a caps lock football with exclamation points all over the actual comments.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Not the live chat, the actual comments. And life chat too. Now there is one more game. Let me get a drum wheel. To be determined. Alabama and Tennessee. Hell yeah, boys. That's it, right?
Starting point is 00:09:10 Yeah, that's it. That's it. Because last week there was a possibility there would be a TBD. Obviously, I don't listen to the meetings. The TBD that people understand is baby number two comes mid-November. Win. Who date is November 14th? My fucking go!
Starting point is 00:09:25 Baby! Flag football, women's! All right, we will go. Taylor, the boy might be going to the game. Michigan, Ohio State. That's TBD. That's two minutes What?
Starting point is 00:09:48 Thank you for staying with us. Are we, are we good? Hold on. Hold on. Are we good? We're riding high, man. Football's here. Are we good?
Starting point is 00:09:58 No. You got unplugging. Dude, fuck it. Just, hey, let's take five. Let's take five. Let's have a time out. You sure? Let's have a time out.
Starting point is 00:10:05 We'll just take five. We'll just take five. Sorry about those technical difficulties. We are back with the BWTB 290. 90. 9. 290. Sorry for getting a little.
Starting point is 00:10:18 little over the top right there. The boys get really excited about football being back. Easy. The mic was broken in Taylor's chair, so we're going to have a long week ahead of us. Let's talk preseason football. Let's talk preseason football. Relaxed. Hey, Bo Nix looked good. Did he? Bo Nix looked good. I know it was a tough weekend. We had J.P.'s wedding, which we will get into a little bit. We'll get into a little bit because we got to wait for the boy to get back right now. He's probably on his third nut, fourth nut. Who knows? Yeah. Multiple nuts. It's a multiple nuts. Yeah. We're going to be relaxed about it. But the few. We're going to be relaxed about it. But the And a lot of it was highlights too, but everybody's raving about Bo Nix.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Broncos look a little tough. Broncos look tough. And also, let's just talk about, maybe let's just talk about the AFC West in general. Gardner Minchew named the starting quarterback for the Raiders. He did. Beat out, is it O'Connell? O'Connell. O'Connell?
Starting point is 00:11:05 Aiden O'Connell. We were right. We were right. We were right. You saw Peyton Manning break down at the fanatic show, Justin Herbert being like a top five quarterback in his mind. I love that. Also, you got Patrick Mahomes.
Starting point is 00:11:19 He hit a little behind the back pass. Maybe on like short yardage play. It looked very crafty. And the words of Adam Sandler and longest yard some backyard bullshit. Yeah, some backyard bullshit. But it paid off. And honestly, it's an innovative play. Did you see it?
Starting point is 00:11:33 It's an innovative play. And it's funny how those things work because Patrick Mahomes has a sideline interview saying Travis Kelsey runs the wrong route. Didn't do it correctly. Travis Kelsey then flips a script on him and says, I don't know what Pat's talking about. That was the game plan right there. So the tale of two stories, right?
Starting point is 00:11:48 There's always three sides every story. Your side, their side in the truth. Yes. Which is always fun. Well, what makes that one deadlies, they got a little zone read into an RPO. And the two pass options, obviously you got the receiver, but Travis being the little behind the back, like, if they can do that consistently, if they can do that is maybe the toughest play to stop on short yard. Some might say they're a good, they're a good ball club. They're a good club that can possibly win three-seasoned.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Right. Because AFC West. Units. Yeah. I think the only conference may be stronger is the AFC South. Agreed. It's definitely not. It's definitely not.
Starting point is 00:12:26 And for those you joining us who are true football fans that are like, I'm turning this off because it's not educational. Keep the voice down. Keep the voice down. It's a joke. I'm just kidding. AFC West is probably those dogs. AFC North is going to be nuts.
Starting point is 00:12:39 NFC West, in my opinion. I think you got the Rams. They'll be nice. Yeah, San Francisco, Seattle, Arizona. Yeah. with Arizona. They're kind of a toss-up. But I think like three teams will be competing in the NFC West between the Niners, Seahawks, and the Rams. See, I'm not as high in the Seahawks. I'm not as high on the Seahawks. I don't know if you saw mugshots come out. The everyone's
Starting point is 00:13:02 little, the little face shots they get every single year for the pamphlet. But Gino Smith looks like he's gone through hell this offseason. He looks like. He's still, he's still not writing back. He's not right. He's not writing back. But I just look at the visual from 2023 now to 2024. and I see his face, just looks like something happened. Something happened to our boy in the offseason. He might write a book on it later, but you need to look at those two photos,
Starting point is 00:13:26 put him side by side and tell me I'm wrong, because it is a scary deal. McDonald, being the head coach defensively, he's like, they call him like the Sean McVeigh on defense. Seattle will be tough on defense. The reason I like them, too, on offense with Gino, is Jake Peets. Shout out Nebraska.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Jake Pete's is a passing game coordinator, paired with their OC. He's coming from the college level. I think he was the head coach, maybe for somebody correct me if I'm wrong, Boston College. BC. But he's a passing game coordinator that came from Boston College? No, hang on, passing game. Jake Peets is the passing game coordinator who came from L.A.
Starting point is 00:14:01 So he's part of the McVeigh, the Shanahan, that entire web. Yeah, the tree, LaFleur, all those boys. And then you got this offensive coordinator who came from, is it Boston College, Sherm? We're checking. I think that's just type in Seahawks Offensive Coordinator. If you were to tell me that the Seahawks offensive coordinator, came from BC. BC's a run-heavy, like, high school ball club when it comes to their play calling.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Apparently, he's crafty. And I, the, uh, the talk of him is he hasn't been institutionalized, like in the NFL. He doesn't have NFL experience. That's why you bring in a passing game coordinator from the tree, the McVeague tree. Right. Uh, to kind of pair because you're not like, again, like brainwashing and thinking you have to do some, some of the copycat things, like some of the things that happen and take place in the NFL because obviously the hashes are more narrow.
Starting point is 00:14:45 Was it Boston College? Washington Huskies. Washington Huskies completely my fault. Makes way more sense. It makes way more sense. Now, no disrespect to Boston College, home of Luke Keeckley. Ryan Grubb.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Ryan Grubb, yes. But apparently he's got some shit to him. Grubbins racing. The preseason's exciting. It's an exciting time. The most exciting clip for me on the weekend. Quarterback plays great. Behind the backs are great.
Starting point is 00:15:10 But something about seeing a 300 pound plus boy. Turn around. Oh, yes. Start hawking down running backs who are supposed to be in that 4, 4, 4, 4, category puts the jets on in a preseason game i believe it was the third quarter like you're not a start if you're playing a third quarter you're trying to make a team you're trying to get after you're trying to make sure that the boys know listen i'm here to play i'm here to put in the effort so you can count
Starting point is 00:15:30 on me on those sundays when every rep counts right right that boy coming out there like that what was this do we know it do we got his name i don't think he has a name i think he just goes by the spaniard yeah it's one of those he's the cat that you pull up that everybody's watching on film and and they say this is how you fucking make the team exactly Number 94. Dude, don't even say his name. We gotta give him some love.
Starting point is 00:15:52 He's an underdog. I know, but I also want to have like the spectacle about like, who is this man. I know, I know. Obviously the name's in the back of his jersey.
Starting point is 00:15:59 Obviously, he's been playing football for a long time and people know who he is, but this is not that kind of podcast and I want to just add a little bit of... The screen's not on. Yeah, screen's not on.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Screen's not on. A little too much excitement at the top of the episode. A lot of things are broken. Elijah Chapman. Elijah Chapman. Rookie? Rookie?
Starting point is 00:16:18 from SMU. Wow. I love that. Good to see SMU coming back after the death penalty, huh? Pony up. Is that what they do? Hey, SMU, are they in the ACC now? They are.
Starting point is 00:16:32 You're a college football guy and kind of the Big 12 world ACC, I feel like. Yeah, for the ACC, apparently, it's going to be shutting down pretty soon here. So SMU made a big boy move, but it's going, they... But at what cost? Yeah. And they also paid their own way into the ACC. They are not receiving a single dollar from the conference for, I believe, the next three years. Wow.
Starting point is 00:16:57 They believed in the move. Just didn't do enough to do it until Florida State and Clemson jumped ship to the Big 12. Now, TBD. I'm playing a little catch up here on the ACC and the removing of all the groups. That's my phone going off. Is it true? Stanford is now in the ACC. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:14 Cal is also in the ACC. Yeah. That didn't make a whole lot of sense, right? Atlantic Coast Conference. That what it is? Atlantic Coastal Conference. They're calling at the American Coast Conference. That plays better.
Starting point is 00:17:30 I think it sucks for Stanford and Cal. It sucks for them. Similar like you got Oregon, Washington, USC, and the Big Ten, like having to travel to their way games. I feel like as always. But the only place you run into that issue is like a Rutgers and a Maryland is when you're having those away games in the Big Ten. but if you're Stanford, all your away games are going to be on the coast.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Yeah. You know, it's essentially like Hawaii. We see Hawaii. They play like, you know, all their games. They have to travel eight hours just to come over to the mainland to figure stuff out. But think about how much like going to the coast affects guys in the NFL. It's not like say, let's just say it's marginal. Imagine now being like 18 to 22 year olds.
Starting point is 00:18:09 So I, I did see a stat. And once again, like my information on these stats are all. always take them with a grain of salt taking with a grain of salt like don't take what I say and be like this is the word of the Lord right um teams from the west coast that played on the east coast in the last few years on a 7 p.m game like statistically win like 75% of time because it's like a tired thing it's a tired thing and for whatever reason the Pacific coast the team traveling wins traveling wins it's an odd deal right it's a good set and it might be a completely wrong state because the more I'm saying it the more I'm like that doesn't make sense it's kind of like
Starting point is 00:18:44 Boston College. But just no, I'm putting that in the brain as like, oh, this could be a, this could be an edge in gambling this year. Oh. This could be an edge of gambling. That's what I love about you, Will. You're always thinking about the future, baby. My man's never present.
Starting point is 00:18:58 He's never present. He's always thinking about what's next. But we're also talking about, we're talking about Cal in Stanford. Are we thinking Cal's going to go fly down to Miami and beat Miami? No. No. Let me take care of that. That's actually my phone.
Starting point is 00:19:11 That's my phone again. that's a good that's a that's a good boy move right there yeah when somebody's phone goes off in like a team meeting company meeting everyone immediately should start saying oh that's my phone everybody should kind of check in to save whoever's phone's really going off that's just a little tip I love in the team meetings that somebody's phone goes off and all the boys start coughing yeah yeah yeah that's another that's another tip to add too just start coughing right just start coughing this I I I I want to say something this is the first time i've sat in this chair i feel so bad for our guests this is so uncomfortable we need new i just feel like this the boy mitch has been he's been saying that
Starting point is 00:19:58 we should get oh god god did you just break another one yeah hey we'll be right we'll be right back we'll be right back hey listen this is not intentional i do apologize this is 100% on me but that was not intentional are we back we're back all right welcome back to busting with the boys. Sorry for those technical difficulties. Taylor's now broken two microphones. This one works, though. You're uncomfortable in that on the couch.
Starting point is 00:20:32 Sometimes you've got to have a little discomfort when you've acted the way I've acted. Is the screen still off? Yep, screen still off. Are we able to get the screen back on? Listen, those are you joining us for the first time with Samarrell, we swear to God, it's not usually this much of a shit show. Yeah. Still a shit show, but not this much.
Starting point is 00:20:48 It's the boys. It's the boys. We're just hanging out. We're just having a good time. We're having a good time. with you guys we're headed off to camp barstle this week that's gonna be an amazing time at wisconsin wisconsin yeah from our understanding it's gonna be kind of set up like the the movie heavy weights which phenomenal and we'll be bunking up twin beds no heat no ac just getting grimy with the

And being a guy. that has gone through a wedding like y'all have i know the stress of it i'm not going to put a guy through that i'm not going to go crash it you know they already have is he doing steak is he doing chicken everything's bought paid for these two randos come in now we got to grab chairs we got to grab extra food i'm not doing that to the guy there's actually i i have a buffet style set up yeah it was a buffet style set up he didn't tell me open seating too which i think i think when you put that on paper you're
Starting point is 00:23:19 like this is a great idea. But there were some, I think there were some wrinkles that we could watch the film on this wedding and be like, there's a couple of things. Yeah, I got a couple bones to pick. Go ahead, pick the bones.
Starting point is 00:23:27 I'm glad you're willing to pick bones because I was really worried when I was saying that. You know, we can wait till JP and rediscuss it next week when JP's back from his honeymoon. But yeah, I think what you were saying, it sounds good on everybody standing and mingling and you just want everybody
Starting point is 00:23:41 in the action together. But not having the assigned seating in the tables, I think does more harm than good. For instance. Hold on. Do we want to talk about it right now? I'll just, I'll glaze over it. Glaze, dude.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Glaze away. When we were trying to sit and have our, you know, after we, we were all over the place. Apps. The food was incredible. Phenomenal food. We were all over the place. Even at sushi. Yeah, when we walked through, it was me Will and Charo, we just immediately started finding
Starting point is 00:24:08 the people holding the nice dishes. Yeah. And just, what was that? Get you a couple of those. By the third time, guys like, you can just have one. But you'd always hit him with the, oh, what is this? And it's like, listen, we all know each other now. And Taylor tries.
Starting point is 00:24:18 Char and I, we sit down at this table. Again, open seating. And there's not very many tables. So you kind of got the standing tables. You got a few sitting tables. Taylor tries to come sit by us. And this lady's like, oh, hey, that's our seat. Taylor just gets up and I kind of don't know what to say. And I'm thinking in my head, like, did I take somebody's seat? It seems like there's an entire group here. When I get up to go get my water, somebody does infiltrate my seat. So it's just, sometimes people like being told what to do and where to go. And also with the speeches, there's only a group that was close that could hear
Starting point is 00:24:49 Sitton's dad talk and give his speech I didn't even hear it everybody's talking yeah you got everybody talking to the back we couldn't get I just you need a sign seating and we'll go over that a little bit more with JP when he gets here
Starting point is 00:25:00 that was like the opposite of what glazing over something is but yeah I wouldn't do a little bit a little bit of it's real heavy on your heart it was when it was happening I was like I can't wait to talk about this on bus it makes way there there was some things too I would like to talk about as well
Starting point is 00:25:12 but I'll wait because that was a great example like hey please wait till I come back because he wanted to say some things too. Shout out the boy JP for the pool party. Shout out the boy JP for the pool party. That worked out. I mean, I thought it was going to be fun.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Usually it's just hard to get something like that pulled off. If you're the male wanting to do something fun with the boys, usually the parents and everybody kind of shut stuff down and you got to do some formal stuff. JP had this pool party. They had the little rehearsal dinner, and then on the outside of the rehearsal dinner, massive pool, local community pool,
Starting point is 00:25:41 had a little low diving board. Mitch, Jack, they're doing gainers off of it. And it started to storm heavy fucking rain. And it was incredible. It's like you go back to your youth and you think all the time like, man, you want to have a pool party at nighttime. You want it to storm. But every time it storms, you know, hey, you got to get out. There could be lightning coming.
Starting point is 00:26:03 JP's dad, Paul, shout out the boy, Paul. He is a legend. He's standing on the edge trying to yell like, hey, 15 minutes, lightning's going to be coming in. We're going to have to get out of the pool. And everybody's like, okay, Paul. And we just have a great time to rest. We're doing, we're having a splash contest. People are doing tricks.
Starting point is 00:26:18 We're trying to do a splash contest. And Jack just trying to overperform and do all these flips and spins. It's like, Jack, like, do it. You got it. Yeah. You got Simone Biles in the back. Like, Jack, do a can opener, bro. And I hit one.
Starting point is 00:26:30 Hit the can opener. I mean, relay races. The relay races were, I mean, when you just get guys together with competition, when people are in formal attire and people are just giving it their all and truly ruining their nights for the sake of a race, you can't beat that. And getting their hands on the one volleyball that's just being thrown around. Everybody's like, smear the queer, dunking them holding them underwater. Great callback.
Starting point is 00:26:52 Man, it rained for like an hour straight. Yeah. Hard and we didn't have one lightning strike. You know, you think that's going to ruin the wedding party. And all it did was enhanced. Just put it on 100. Yeah. We'll get J.P's take on it next week.
Starting point is 00:27:04 For sure. However, I do feel like I earned some respect in the swimming category. Jack, you as well. I think we all did. Yeah. I think we all did really well. I think us internally, we all had kind of like, I wonder how fast this person can swim.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Because Jack, you know, Jack is like, y'all'm like a fish in the water. And you kind of know he's good at pretty much everything. And so you're kind of- Got hell on. Let's put a time out on that. Let's put a time out on that. That's a great feeling. A lot of times on this bus, we don't dish out compliments like that to each other.
Starting point is 00:27:35 Yeah. That was a big deal. And for Will to give his Instagram posted JP, and then the one thing literally says you are not athletic and the nicest post he's ever said to him, like this. I had to do something to mitigate. Yeah, you got out.
Starting point is 00:27:47 Even the, even the stakes. I'm not sitting there trying to just live on my knees for JP the entire, but I got to say something. That was a really nice post. Go follow Will Compton, check it out. underscore Will Compton. But it was an awesome time. Yeah. But Jack, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:00 There was a, so we did two relay races. And JP's like, well, you got to start it off because he started to. JP, photo finish apparently beat me, which is all I needed. Because the way he talks is like, I thought you would have killed me. Right. And at the very end, you just did a two lap. What is it? How many meters was that?
Starting point is 00:28:19 It was 50 meters. So down and back. There was four people, the four best. Jack was one of them against these other cats who actually swam, I believe, growing up. Yeah, I didn't realize that. Like on a team. And Jack, he fell apart in the last 15 meters. For sure.
Starting point is 00:28:33 Gats out. Jack was competing. Really? And then for the next hour, I've never had worse heartburn in my entire life. Really? Because I had just eating some food and we were drinking beef. And then you're like you are these guys are moving and you don't want to just be the guy who's half assing it and they're like oh you get any competition going. Yeah, you got to put it all out there. And we're all sitting there for the next 10 minutes after the race is over. Just like, dude, I had a headache the rest of the night.
Starting point is 00:28:58 Swimming is a crazy endurance. It breaks my heart that I wasn't a part of that. I wish I could have been so bad. Now, did you talk to Jack about the thing we talked about at the wedding? Yeah, I brought it. I brought it up. Did you? I brought it up. Taylor came up to me the day of the wedding. and saw that I post. I kind of want to tell it because I feel like I don't know how you're going to tell it. I'm just going to say what I post. Go ahead. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:21 I took a clip of the thunderstorm, of the storm happening with the pool. Cat catches the ball off the diving board. Like the scene is just perfect. And it's the day you dream about, again, like as a kid, getting to swim in those type of elements. And I post on basically all my channels.
Starting point is 00:29:36 Don't go to my TikTok. That did not do very well. But best night of all time. Just being hype, living in the moment. Next day at the wedding, Taylor comes up to me afterwards. It was like, hey, I saw your post. I think it was directed at me. I didn't say it.
Starting point is 00:29:49 To where I'm like, hey, brother, you know, you're not that important. I said Jack and I were talking and I was like, I feel like that post was a little towards me because the conversation we had in the last episode for the tier ones. You know this. The boys were razzing me saying I wasn't going to make it because I wasn't going to be able to make it. Oh. You just talked about how great the day was going to be. But I think you were able to make it. It would have been a photo finish.
Starting point is 00:30:11 It would have been a photo finish. It would have been a photo finish. finish. Come on. It would have been a photo finish. Could you have made it? Probably. I was tired, man. You landed, I thought you were surprising me because you landed around like one or 130 at BNA. Flight takes off to Greenville at 3.30. I thought Taylor's doing the old bait and switch. The boy's known for a great surprise every time. I do. I do enjoy surprises. And so when I saw I had a miss call from my call and like, hey, are you sitting at D2? He's like, oh, no, I'm driving home. I was like, oh, I thought for sure you were going to get on this flight. Yeah. The thing that was
Starting point is 00:30:40 difficult for me as my wife was in Canada with her grandfather, Grandpa Wynn, who is a huge fan of Wilcompton. And Grandpa Wynn is, he's, you know, life, right? You get older, you know, you start wanting more time with family. And he goes back home every single year to the East Coast of Canada where he's from and enjoys, like, fishing and being with his old friends and seeing his old stomping grounds. And he goes with my mother-in-law, Miss Tanna, who's a queen. And he kept giving hints to tail and saying, like, hey, I would be great if the kids came. You know, what if the kids came and be awesome? The Taylorans, like, surprising them. I dropped them off Wednesday, but they get back at 10 a.m. Sunday.
Starting point is 00:31:15 So with the direct flights and how that process worked, I never look at connecting flights and think, I'm going to get on that flight. I hope I look at the directs. I think there was like the only direct was like 10 o'clock and then a 350. From that area. Yeah, from Nashville to Greenville, it was 3.30. 330. And then the flight back was like 10 a.m. land at 10.3.
Starting point is 00:31:36 Right. So I was like, I won't be able to pick them up, all that different stuff. and so I was like, oh, I'll just drive. I'll drive Saturday. So I landed from Arizona on Friday, slept, woke up in the morning, drove to the wedding, hung out at the wedding for four or five hours? Three.
Starting point is 00:31:52 Including the ceremony. Yeah, four. Went there and supporting JP and then drove home that night so I could pick up my girls in the morning. And now I get home around 12, 45 a.m. And I get a call from Kailen at 7 a.m. saying flight's been canceled
Starting point is 00:32:06 because of weather in Toronto, all these different things. Now, before we got in the bus, she was just telling me their flight got delayed again, but they're going to miss their connection, so she might have to fly to West Coast Cannon now. It's a big ordeal. But all in the name of family,
Starting point is 00:32:17 it was all in the name of family. Could I have handled it better? Yeah, but I think we all know with my organization, like, it's just who I am at this point. Yeah, I think, and why fix your problems when you can just accept who you are. Will Compton, is there's some flowers. There was, and we'll leave him unnamed.
Starting point is 00:32:31 A person who's supposed to be driving the getaway car after the reception said, man, could not do it. Will Compton rose to the occasion, Stop drinking. He's drinking limits. He was in there and he was also having a good fucking time with water in the class. And then he's out there driving what I thought was one of the coolest parts. It was J.P.'s truck that he grew up driving in high school.
Starting point is 00:32:51 And Will Compton drives JP and sitting off to, you know, go seal the deal on a beautiful marriage. And I think that was really big of you to step up. That was a pro move. That was a big. And then the second lap back around, y'all hit the block and came back just hitting the horn. Funny, funny about that. I missed the turn. We were wondering if you missed a turn or you're just going to keep hitting laps.
Starting point is 00:33:10 I hit it turn too early because JP pulled out his phone and was like, he was like filming and they're like, oh, we got a guess. I'm sitting there trying to remember like, where am I supposed to go? Because I didn't know the name of the hotel or anything. This lady was like, hey, go through the first stoplight. You'll make it right on the second one. Go down. It'll be right there on your right. I end up turning on the first stoplight.
Starting point is 00:33:27 And they're like, oh, it's all good. We'll make our way back around. I'm like, we got to drive back through where everybody is. He's like, yeah, I was like, this will be hilarious. So I'm just like laying on the horn and everybody's just getting hype. Oh, it was perfect. It was all time. It was all time.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Dude, also shout out sitting. There's so many, so easy to be a Bridezilla in those types of situations. She seemed calm, cool, collected the entire time. It seemed like they really took a moment and embraced the entire situation. And having Crappy Patty served at the end of the night. Again, some of the things that you know was all JP, when you talk about like Bride Zill and everything else, a lot of times, like some of those things can just get, hey, go sit in the corner, stay quiet. We will all handle this.
Starting point is 00:34:04 You usually show up on game day. That type of deal. Which one? You driving the truck. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's, I'm turning. That's me turning way too early. And you're just being in the single cab truck, too.
Starting point is 00:34:19 And as I'm dropping them off, I'm like, hey, I don't want to, like, call out the elephant in the room here, but I was like, I'm going to be the last one you see before you guys, you know. We kind of awkwardly laughed. I'm like, I go have a good time. Get out of here. Yeah, I go have a good time. Whoa. But yeah, shout out. Shout out to the three deep throat.
Starting point is 00:34:42 No, Chrisal. Shout out the hubbies, man. Shout out the huffies. And the Furns. Dude, the Firmits. They rip. Yeah, bro. You're probably wondering why is that name so familiar.
Starting point is 00:34:52 Furman University. That's why it's so easy to remember. Sid went to Clemson, which I thought was, that's how I knew everything I need to know about Sid and when she chose to go to Clemson instead of Furman. Yeah. She could have everything. And she chose. JP still. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:07 honing in tunnel vision on that's who he wants to be there's a lot of good things about the sins and the fernmans that we could sit here i mean i know the firmans the firmans and the hubbies we could talk all day about them they're so easy to celebrate and yeah the guy awesome parents awesome families the guy who did the wedding did an amazing job of like telling the story of jp like essentially tracking down sitting for 12 years crazy it's ultimately a story of nice guys can finish first yes and that's exactly what jp is yeah a very quality just There's a good human being. Great.
Starting point is 00:35:39 And that's what you love. He's somebody you want. Like I put in my post, like I would want my daughter to marry somebody like that with a little bit more athletic ability. But I saw somebody say like, oh, you need to have a few more daughters so I can say the same about whenever you guys get married. And I'm thinking, not Jack. When I was reading that, I go, you know, for some reason this feels personal. Like Taylor's seen the post. They're like, I feel like this.
Starting point is 00:36:03 It's easy, man. Will does a great job of throwing like little subtle shots throughout the day and social media. Why he's the best though? Why he's in the chair? He's in the chair and I'm on the couch. There's no question about it. No question.
Starting point is 00:36:14 If Will's microphone broke, I would get on the couch. I'm just Taylor Jr. This definitely was about me, right? Because it's easy to take it personal. You think to yourself the conversation we had in Detroit where it was like when or Weston and Rue and you, he wasn't top dog on that, which only in my head's like you think I said I said I would be excited. But also like, you know, it's like Jack, like you guys both in your later years, I'm thinking this is. more of the quality that you want your daughter to marry. Oh.
Starting point is 00:36:41 Like if, Good safe. Great save by will right there. Phenomenal. Because he just made it all better. Yeah, he made it because there was a piece of us that was kind of hurting a little bit.
Starting point is 00:36:48 Now I'm like, yeah, you know what? He's an all right. And then it's like, he's right. If you go on, if you go on Mitch,
Starting point is 00:36:53 you're like, you know, you can, oh, you see that four hours. I made a four hours. Dog. A, the people spotlighting you on your suit,
Starting point is 00:37:00 Mitch, that she was hilarious. But if like, if Mitch, if Mitch walks through your door, you're like, you know, you're happy that they're happy, but you're like, you know. That's crazy. Man, it's a little dumb.
Starting point is 00:37:12 Dad, what do you think? I mean, it's, it's fun, though. I'm just here to be, I'm the punching bag of the group, and I'm, I'll say some random shit every once in a while that I'll just be like, where did that even come from? But it just keeps you on your toes. Have you met Blas before the other day? Me? Yeah. Oh, my God, daily.
Starting point is 00:37:32 That's essentially you, man. You're the new Bloss. Oh, yeah. I know, I know that. I miss Bloss every day. How long did you work with Bloss? I worked for Bloss for a year. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:37:45 C-T-E-SPN, man. Yeah, bro. Did you honestly thought I never met Bloss? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, 100% sat here. I was like, oh, I wonder if there was overlap. Yeah. Fun fact, there was overlap for a year.
Starting point is 00:37:57 This podcast has gone really downhill since the beginning part of this podcast, hasn't it? Well, should we get to? Should we get to judgment? Anything else we have to touch before? I don't think so. How many times is JP nutted? We can go ahead and... Do we want to read that?
Starting point is 00:38:13 Should we read an ad? We'll read an ad and then we'll do Jax on it. I will say when I was at the wedding, I started getting notifications on Twitter out of nowhere, and I was like, what's going on? The Titans apparently played the OG patron video this week. Really? No way!
Starting point is 00:38:26 And I'm not there, but my niece got to go to her first Titans game today. So I like to think I was there in spirit. She was representing me. That's huge. That's you making a difference. That's your voice being heard. I'm really excited for week two of the NFL regular season to see it in full force
Starting point is 00:38:40 and then hopefully we have this kind of coming to God moment where I'm hugging all the people around me and they're like, who the fuck are you? Like, sit down. You're blocking the view. What's the ad read? We got a little Mountain Dew, actually. Mountain Dew?
Starting point is 00:38:54 Mountain Dew. Oh. You know we all need to get more of? Off of our ass. No doubt. With bold flavors and refreshing citrus kick, Mountain Dew will get you. you off your ass and have you feeling like you're on an actual mountain.
Starting point is 00:39:09 A mountain where the weather is always perfect. Your friends are ready to hang in a day of epic proportions awaits. Listen, I, like, look, go up for, go up for a tad. I know you got your original, you got your Baja blast, you got your cold red, you got your voltage. I hope it's still kicking strong, but growing up, my favorite soda, my grandparents always had it said, and it was in the gold can. It was caffeine-free mountain.
Starting point is 00:39:34 do. For some reason, for some reason, I, yes, I'm stoked. I'm stoked at the part of the boys. I love that. I love that. Not a big soda kid growing up, but when a Mountain Dew was around, that thing was getting throated in a hurry. Those were the best, man.
Starting point is 00:39:53 Just do the do. I love the original. I love the Code Red, but there was something about going to T-bell and getting the Baja blast. That just, it was like, God. It's like getting ice cream at the. end of, it's like a good dessert at the end of a nice meal. Dude, dude, let me get this Baja Blas.
Starting point is 00:40:09 Because at this, at this point in my life that I'm thinking about right now, it was the generation of suicides where you hit every single one. And I would do that at every fast food establishment I went to, but I would not, would not do it when I went to T Bell because that Baja Blast was just too good. It had to sit alone. That's how good Mountain Dew is. I remember just being in the driveway, playing basketball in the driveway. You know, you're playing 21, knock, all the different games, right?
Starting point is 00:40:34 the boys. And I had to leave and I just remember putting literally four caffeine-free Mountain Dews like in my pockets. Come on, kid. And that's gold. Yeah. At that age, that is treasure. That's what the Pirates of the Caribbean we're looking for is Mountain Dew and a treasure chest. The Mountain is calling. You should answer. Grab your friends. Grab an ice cold Mountain Dew wherever refreshing beverages are sold and do the do. They feel cool saying that? Yeah. It felt cool to say that Mountain Dew. I know. That's so cool that Mountain Dew is a part of this podcast. Mountain Dew, bro. In a year, I'll be like, Vegas Mountain Dew.
Starting point is 00:41:05 All right. Hey. It's time. Jack McPherson, the Chevy Soborado, tweeting a photo of RichEyes in every day for 780. 790. 790. 799 was technically the... 789 days.
Starting point is 00:41:20 Do you want me to grab it? Yeah, we got the confidential audit. We got a folder. So just to give a little context at the start and birth of this thing like you heard last week on the episode, Jack ultimately had to tweet a photo of Rich Eisen every day. until he came on the bus every day. Every single day. Not miss a day.
Starting point is 00:41:39 The date had to be consistent. He could not miss a day. However, we negotiated a little bit. He got it up. The over and under was three and a half last week or three, whatever it was. It was the line was set at three and a half given by Rich Eisen, who was a great individual, who was rooting for Jack. We're all rooting for Jeff. They all wanted Jack to have the Shibis period.
Starting point is 00:41:59 Because 790, 789 days is a lot of time. That's a lot of time. it's a lot of days to consistently be posting about one man. It takes 21 days to make a habit, but that's a long time. And so we gave the grace period. The audit has taken place. It's been verified. Last week, our engineers dove in.
Starting point is 00:42:18 Engineers dove in. Been verified by myself, by Will Compton, and the man himself, Rich Eisen. Fine tooth comb. Only three individuals who know the result of this audit. And the question remains, does Jack McPherson receive a Chevy Silverado? I have that information in this folder. Where's your heart rate at right now? Take your watch.
Starting point is 00:42:48 It's pumping. It's in 94. 94. That's not a resting heart rate. That's not a resting heart rate. I'm nervous. 300,000 miles on his vehicle that sits outside in the parking lot right now. Running on fumes.
Starting point is 00:43:01 Hoping to God to be reimbursed with a Chevy Silverado, eight cameras with 14 different views. Hey, hey, it's hard holding this. Can I just open it up? it up. There's the paper. It's not in there? No, it's not in there.
Starting point is 00:43:17 It's not in there. It's not in there. That's not a bitch, by the way. Putting your pocket. Does Jack McPherson receive a shed? Jack, how are you feeling right now? My heart, you said your heart rate's 90.
Starting point is 00:43:37 Mine's got to be like 130 right now. How many do you think you missed? Did you go back? That's what we need. Hey, we just needed the grin. We needed the grin. in. I think I missed probably, probably three.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Mitch, how many do you think he missed? Hey, number one, I'm glad it's so refreshing to hear you just smile and be like, I think I missed. Because Jack, I tried so hard to ask you, like, you didn't miss one. You stood 10 toes down.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Mitch, how many think you missed? I know how back Jack wanted it, but I'm going to probably, I want to say maybe five. Yeah. I mean, it's also, that's two and a half years. Like five is, is like, like Rich said, that's, that's an acceptable now, in my opinion. Sheram, what are you going with?
Starting point is 00:44:31 I actually know how many it is. I had some Oppenheimer's, some ops in my DM saying, hey, your boy, look at your boy. Oh, you had some. I had it and I ate it. I said on it. They were in all of us. I said people out here, no one wants to see anybody succeed. it's messed up
Starting point is 00:44:51 and so I ate it I went to Jack I said hey this is what they're saying and he said fuck him I said fuck him so how many do you think based on your DMs 7 or 8 which hold on now Mitch said 5 is acceptable
Starting point is 00:45:10 even though 7 or 8 is so acceptable you think so even if it's 7 or 8 27's acceptable we're talking about 2 years plus you're saying 20 is acceptable Blood sweat, tears. This is a sponsor. You're going to have the boy riding in a Chevy.
Starting point is 00:45:25 A guy like me that's in a Tahoe, I know what it's like to be in a show. You're in a nice Chevy Tahoe. It's a beautiful Chevy Tahoe. This guy just is a ZR2. You basically got, you got, yeah, I was going to say you got the, the ZR2 or the Z 71. Oh, dude, I have the Z-71.
Starting point is 00:45:42 You got the Z-7. You got a nice one. And it's fabulous. You know what that does for my job performance here when I get to pull up every single day in a Chevy? I go, thank God I'm working for the boys. Thank God I'm in a Chevy. So can I ask you?
Starting point is 00:45:55 You can I take that from him? Reliable. Gritty. Consistent. Golly. Can I ask you a question before he opens this up? Or is more a question for Jack. Everybody at home just on the edge of their seat.
Starting point is 00:46:07 If we were sitting there with Rich and you said, I didn't miss one. And you had an idea in your mind that you've maybe missed more than one. And we end up at three and a half. And now your boys are back here saying five is acceptable and 20. is acceptable? 27 is acceptable in my eyes. Even though a line has been drawn in the sand of three and a half.
Starting point is 00:46:27 I'm not, we're not going to stop. I'm not going to talk back to Rich. I mean, I think Rich Ewan wants this for him the most. And I think if we had Rich on this bus right now, if he's available to call, and we say, y'all spoke to him earlier today.
Starting point is 00:46:43 I have a video from Rich right now discussing the results with Jackman Pearson. All right, here we go. Have you seen the video? I have not watched the video. Before it's all said and done, I would like to give my one final piece on it. Closing statement.
Starting point is 00:47:06 Closing statement. Though maybe there had been a day or two missed, I will say it has been an absolute blast doing this to over two and a half years to get someone on and to create all of this noise around it and to have the public backing of our fans to be right. ride with me. It's cool. So whether there is a Chevy Silverado or not, it truly has been an honor serving with you guys. So thank you. Thank you for giving me this opportunity in this moment. So I do appreciate it. It's been really fun. And be on the lookout for possibly a day one
Starting point is 00:47:41 tweeting somebody else coming this week. Just put your subscribe. Drop in the comments on YouTube, who we should tweet at. But yeah, thank you guys. No bullshit. It's been really fun. Thanks for giving me, you know, an opportunity to be on the platform and have a little fun. So thank you guys. Dude. Seriously. That means the world. You did not get it. Very good closing statement. Tears coming to my eye. And I still, and I still feel the same way. Here's the gun to your head. Yeah. Oh, there's 23. And that's the Jordan year. What we see right now. I said 27. I know. Thanks for giving me the at least. 23 dating back to, uh, we were only able to get back to a hundred and seven.
Starting point is 00:48:31 days. So on day 107 was when I was allowed to start the counts. There's still 170 days unaccounted for based on the memory of Twitter. Do you know what day was the first day missed from 107? I do. Because I have photos, yeah. I had...
Starting point is 00:48:47 Do you want to go through this now? We might as well. We can. I mean, it's out there and listen. There's rumors of a consolation prize. Oh. There's rumors. Yeah. Dude, Hope's a dangerous drug that I'll tap into every day. I want to feed it. I want to keep in Come on.
Starting point is 00:49:02 Because we need you working. I fucking quit. Okay, first miss. On September 16th, 2020, you said day 113 of tweeting a photo of Rich Eyes until he comes on the podcast. On September 18th, 2022, you said day 14. Wait, so it was that... Day 114. Huh?
Starting point is 00:49:27 Day 114. Day 114. Sorry, day 114. I can't remember exactly. But I do remember the first day that I woke up and had missed it. And I called my dad and I was panicking. I'm like, I don't know what I'm going to do this. I'm fucked.
Starting point is 00:49:40 I'm fucked, dude. And he's like, calm down, man. Calm down. He's like, who knows? He's like, just be honest with him. And I was like, fuck that, man. He can't. I was like, I don't know what it to do.
Starting point is 00:49:49 Literally kept it all the way to the rich show. He was like, didn't miss one. You got to stay strong. You got to stand strong. And, you know, you just keep fighting for it. I had a few guys, dude. They tweet me. I'm not even going to give them the appropriate shout out.
Starting point is 00:50:01 for my demise, but they'd like DM me and they're like, we know. And I'm like, oh, we know. The comments, look, you know, you're going to have people fighting. Yeah. Well, I've already seen some today. They said if there's no truck, it's hashtag cancel bussen. People, yeah, people are ready to unsubscribe. So go ahead, boys, fire that up.
Starting point is 00:50:20 Now, do not comment my guys either, guys. This isn't a, I knew what was going on. All the opportunities out there, do not cancel bus in. Cancel bus it. It's not worth it. We're going to fight for a brighter tomorrow. So guys, keep doing it.
Starting point is 00:50:38 Don't do this. I swear, it's not worth it. Keep doing it. Do you want to hear the rest of them? I feel like at this point. It's ultimately the same kind of theme. You kept the days consistent,
Starting point is 00:50:48 but if you miss a day, it would jump too. Right. That, yeah. No. The first one, he went from 113,
Starting point is 00:50:55 skipped the day and then went to 114. In October, the same year, he went 134. skipped a day and then went 136. So he tried a couple different. Yeah, you got to see what works. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:08 I'm going to see what works. So which means the 789 days is also in question. So 78. The days you missed, what do you chalk it up as is you're like disappointed that? Like what was going on? Was it a weekend? No, it typically wasn't weekend. It would either be, I think I don't remember where I said it, but like you have good days,
Starting point is 00:51:29 you have bad days and you have days where it's going to shit. So sometimes it'd just be a great day and then you'd wake up the next day and you're like, how could I even forgot that? A lot of times it would be like it'd be in the queue for me or in my drafts and I'd started it and then maybe something comes up, a phone call. Your brain almost thinks you did it. Yeah, and then your brain kind of registers that you did it and then you go back the next day and then, you know, panic ensues and you're just like, what have you done?
Starting point is 00:51:54 It's like your kids are going to starve. of my future kids. My future kids. Shirm, is this a consolation prize idea that you just pulled up? It's a 1947 Chevy Silverado Go Car
Starting point is 00:52:08 That's sick. You're walking away with something. Something. September, the date that I said, what was that? September 14th and 18th. The day you missed,
Starting point is 00:52:20 a Saturday. Yeah. October. Is there a theme here? Is it, is it weekends? Tennessee Valls? A weekend
Starting point is 00:52:27 10-8-22 and 10-10-22 The day you missed was a Sunday Titans game That was also a home Titans game Listen Hey The Ring of Honor maybe I can't I can't hold that flag for you anymore
Starting point is 00:52:48 I'll say this We don't want to punish him No no no And you guys aren't It's not a punishment It feels like a punishment What why? 23 misses
Starting point is 00:52:56 Shirm The line was said at three and a half. You heard me. I said 27. I know. But you also knew the number. I knew the number.
Starting point is 00:53:04 But sure. So when you said 27, I thought to myself, he knows exactly. Oh, the guy fucking loves football. And he forgot to tweet. Sure.
Starting point is 00:53:10 He said a football game. I get it. Fully understand that. Fully understand that. It feels like a punishment. This is best up. I know it does. And trust me.
Starting point is 00:53:23 Like, Taylor, I didn't even want to get. I was like, dude, give him a truck. Like, what are you talking about? He's like,
Starting point is 00:53:27 bro, if he does it all the days in a row, like, we got to do something. Be great for the brand. Could you get him a go-kart? Like a Chevy go-kart? Will and I will talk about a constellation price. We will talk about that. Consolation prize or consolation?
Starting point is 00:53:41 Consolation. But ultimately it's like, when you buy in and the stars will tell us whether or not he should get a consolation price. And you go into a deal that's clear cut. These are the parameters. And it wasn't miss a day. And then it gets negotiated up to a few days. Like, let's just even say it was more.
Starting point is 00:53:56 but even if you, when you missed, when you miss that mark, like, what do you want us to do? Just pretend like it doesn't happen and not honor our side of the standard. It's like the standard was set. You either give a reason or you get the result. I just feel like you're, you're kind of rubbing his face in it right now. Whoa. He had an accident in the house. We get it.
Starting point is 00:54:16 You're rubbing his face. He had 23 accidents. 23 accidents. And I understand. I know there's a lot of people beating down the doors. right now saying give Jack his chefi several out he earned it 23 days is nothing but the world we come from
Starting point is 00:54:31 it's result based perfection perfection if I had a child I do have two if my children wanted something I said if you do these things you can have the thing you want and they did most of those things what kind of parent would I be if I still gave them that I'm teaching them
Starting point is 00:54:48 a bad lesson or just in a performance based world that we live in like you missed 23 plays you're cut bro There ain't nobody vying for you. They're saying you suck. Get this mother good. Good.
Starting point is 00:55:00 Get him off my team. He should never be on it again. Let's turn that temperature down just a little bit. Well, what do we? That was a rubber. No, no. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's.
Starting point is 00:55:11 Will's having flashbacks. Sorry, yeah. I'm sitting there. Will's thinking he's in Nebraska right now and his coach is going off on him. That had nothing to do with Jack. Like we had 28 missed tackles against Texas the year after the one second game. And we just got. obliterated in meetings.
Starting point is 00:55:28 It wasn't, hey, if you miss a few, we should still go back and win the game, or you should get this, you should get that. You're trying to, what example are we trying to set? And I agree with y'all. I do. 23, it's excessive. And, you know, I truly, I let myself down,
Starting point is 00:55:46 and I let the fans down. So this is just a moment in time where it'll motivate me for the next season of life and the next career I'd choose to dive into. after you're everybody everybody in the comments is going to be like when they're laying the jerseys out for rudy
Starting point is 00:56:04 like no we're not showing up so i have i have a video from rich okay i can play it for you now and then we can just put the video on for the podcast um yeah because we we got we got to hear what rich says it was one of those things when all the screenshots came in i was like fuck i know and literally it was done the afternoon after the rich podcast I had a feeling I figured it out somehow I figured out technology
Starting point is 00:56:29 So here's Rich Do you want to see the video Should we just hold it right here Yeah So I'm sitting here on my set Getting ready to do my show I heard some disturbing news From Nashville Tennessee
Starting point is 00:56:46 So I gotta take my boy Jack on a walk Man You missed some days Jack A Taylor told me Sent me some evidence I was taking a stand for 780 days, not just for my own self,
Starting point is 00:57:13 but on behalf of all shows, on a bus that should have a motor that, for whatever reason, doesn't. And also for you, Jack, my visions of seeing you driving off into the beautiful Nashville sunset and your gorgeous new Chevy Silverado. You missed more than three days. Taylor sent me all these days,
Starting point is 00:57:34 Taylor sent me all these texts of what I hope are timestamp issues. Somehow, some way, multiple times. The dates are off. Your phone was off. You had it scheduled something. There's got to be something, Jack. Dig deep. Dig deep into your memory banks.
Starting point is 00:57:57 Thoughts and prayers for you, Jack. Similar to the thoughts and prayers that I have for my awesome new Ralph Lauren stone white pants. that I wore and for something unexplainable, the bus and couch leaked all over the pants. Like, what the hell was RFK Jr.? What do you leave there? Any cub, bear cub blood or something?
Starting point is 00:58:22 What hell is this? The pants will ruin, but this is not about me or my pants. It's about you, Jack, and your work ethic. And I'm hoping there's gotta be something. You will get your Chevy Silverado somehow, some way. Routing for you. man it's like a disapproving father just like
Starting point is 00:58:44 I'm disappointed can I ask a question of course I'm just putting go carts Chevy go carts up on the screen um why not at the top of every week's schedule out each post I know you want to throw yourself in the suck
Starting point is 00:59:02 I'm sure it's something like that being gritty like the Chevy but when you're like going through and thinking about scheduling out posts like whether it's a few days at a time a week at a time a month at a time. It almost seems like you could have had that work in your favor a little bit. Great question. To what I answer is, I don't know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:23 To what I answer, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if I scheduled them or if I didn't, you know, 23 days missed it. And it's over. It's over. Hey, hey, little hope. Little hope. There's a little hope.
Starting point is 00:59:39 Spoon feed me. But yeah, I feel like I let Rich down most of all because he went to bat for me. And he still was even after the bus. Yeah. And we're like, Rich, bro, if we find multiple, like more like even like outside of 10, you know what I mean? Because he's like, you guys got to give him more of a grace period. I honestly thought it was going to be like seven days. So 23, yeah, it hurts.
Starting point is 01:00:05 It's like, who am I? Am I even a man at this point? Can I go home and look my kids in the eyes? You're a man. Maybe there's a Chevy dealership in the greater Nashville area that's willing to say you earned it. Willing to walk up and say, listen, Jack, we know you missed 23 days, but here's one anyway. I mean, that would be, that'd be huge. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:00:30 I don't know what this is just conversation happening. No, it's just conversation. I'm not going to. I'm just hoping. I'm just hoping that some Chevy dealership sees this clip. Yeah. Or maybe Mr. Chevrolet himself sees this clip. Mr. Shalach.
Starting point is 01:00:43 Yeah. And they send the 1946 go cart. And you're on the next Chevy commercial. Wow. They're like, who's this guy? This could be the best thing that ever happened to you. Yeah. Charlie Sheparder.
Starting point is 01:00:53 Hey, you will grow from this. 100%. A lot of motivation going in the gym today, too, where it's like, there is no excuse today. Yeah. Got to have it. The best lessons are the hardest ones, man. GTHI. But I can circle back to my closing statement earlier.

It doesn't run, but yeah, but this is fucking great. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:12 Yeah, this thing's awesome. This thing apparently used to, it's crazy too because Nashville's like a super small, it's a city, but it's kind of like a town where everyone knows each other, and people would reach out to us when we started this like,
Starting point is 01:03:21 oh, my buddy used to own that. And then somebody else, oh, my uncle used to own that. And they used to travel all over like different NASCAR races and stuff like that. That's fucking cool. Because it used to before,
Starting point is 01:03:31 got the Twisted Tea Wrap, it was the Earnhardt Jr. 8 and all that. Oh, shit. Yeah. The Dale Earnhard 8. I miss it. But we love Twiss a T. Are you guys,
Starting point is 01:03:41 are you guys big NASCAR guys? No. I don't know shit about everyone's in a Formula One now I'm seeing like I... It's because of a Netflix show. That Netflix show. Netflix really just makes everything popular.
Starting point is 01:03:52 I know. Whatever Netflix has. For me. Yeah. Hey. So anyway, how are we doing today, folks? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:01 Sam, it's Morrill, right? Yeah. Sam Maril. Actor, who's on the Joker. I played a comedian, so I don't call myself an actor. I mean, you're an actor. People always like, you're an actor.
Starting point is 01:04:12 I'm like, am I? Would you ever want to do acting like that? You want to get in the film industry? Only in shit that I wrote. I wouldn't want to audition. I think that's like, that would make my brain melt, I think. Really? It just seems all.
Starting point is 01:04:23 They would, when you're like a young comic, they send you, like, audition for this three cam as like the wacky neighbor. And I'm just like, listen to this morose energy. What kind of fucking neighbor am I going to be? You know? I don't have range. I'd be like me. You know, that's a.
Starting point is 01:04:37 but some people make a good living off just being them. That's true. Ryan Reynolds. Yeah. Love Ryan Reynolds. He's one percent and one percent. Yeah. Vince Vaughn.
Starting point is 01:04:46 I guess Vince Vaughn does some, he's done some different things. He's done some weird. He played Norman Bates, dude. He's played some, he's played the lost world. It's interesting.
Starting point is 01:04:54 I wonder like in that world if the actors that kind of display themselves like Vince did for so long, if the other actors talk shit, like they get in small groups. You know, yeah, Vince really can only just do the fratboy thing. And there's like a fight to see if you have more range or not.
Starting point is 01:05:06 Yeah, but the dude's talking shit are like, Kevin Spacey. And then, Vince Vaughn's like, do you hear what this guy fucking does? He's a great actor, but at what cost? At what cost, at what cost, are you, is one of your passions, like, writing in film?
Starting point is 01:05:20 I like writing. I like writing. I like writing jokes. And I like, I've written some stuff. I mean, my friend Mark Norman and I wrote a movie, so like maybe someday we'll make that. We're like, we're working on that. And then, yeah, I'm working on a TV show that, yeah, I mean, if it goes, cool,
Starting point is 01:05:37 but I mean, stand-up is my favorite, you know? What made you find, like, the love for writing? We'll get in the stand-up and the movies and all that, but, like, how did you put pen to paper and be like, yo, this is something I actually interest me? Honestly, I was a freshman at Tulane University in New Orleans, and I was, I'd been on stage a few times, but Katrina just hit.
Starting point is 01:05:56 So when I went back, there were no open mics. Like, everything was kind of shut down still, and I was just like, well, I could just write, you know? So I just fucking made Katrina about me. But do you know who really suffered is me, not getting enough open mic stage. No doubt. But yeah, honestly, I was like, well, I'm writing more than I'm getting on. I think that made me like a writer first and a performer second, you know. It does seem like comedians are getting more in that lane of film.
Starting point is 01:06:25 Like Shane coming out, them dudes doing tires. Shane's such a great comic actor, too. I mean, he's like, you know, you saw it in those sketches. I think of that Trump speed dating sketch. I was like, when that came out, I was texting. And it's like one of the funniest things I've seen. And it makes you wonder what S&L would have been with him if they would ever kept him on. He was in a bit of get away with that stuff.
Starting point is 01:06:43 He would have broke either way. He would have broke either mainstream or he would have done the kind of back road he did into the mainstream. He's mainstream regardless, you know. Do you think it worked out better for him being able to do it the back way? It's a cool story. Yeah. For sure. And when he does do the funny resume about like he's technically a decorated veteran because he went to West Point.
Starting point is 01:07:01 Yeah. He technically worked for S&L. It's like, you know, he's kind of got a sick little deal. And a college football player? Yeah, yeah, college football player He's got everything man And he is like Yeah, he's a legit
Starting point is 01:07:11 He would have been great on SNL And he's kind of what they needed I think they realize They fucked up And by bringing it back, yeah But like so you and Mark writing a movie Like how does that Is that you guys just kind of bullshit around
Starting point is 01:07:26 Like this would be sick But you both can also write But as it gets done and tightened up Is it something that you pitch At like festivals Or how would you guys go about we uh yeah we just kind of were talking about man they don't make the type of movies that's like literally what my stand-up is like i want to do the type of stand-up that i would want to watch so with normand
Starting point is 01:07:47 we just were like man they don't really make movies like something about mary or dumb and dumber anymore like the types of comedies we grew up really loving so we just were like we should write a movie and we met this producer guy and he's like i heard you guys talk about in the podcast you should you should do this i can make it happen we're like yeah whatever fucking jerk off, you know? And then he introduced us, best part is he introduced us to like all these people who would write it and we're like, yeah, we know all of them. They're comics, but we're just fucking lazy. So we didn't think that we could do this. Yeah. And then he set us up on calls and we were like, all right. So Mark and I are smart enough to know that we're fucking not smart.
Starting point is 01:08:22 So we're like, we'll just, we'll just write it, but we need someone to do the story with us because we're not experienced screenwriters. So we can make it funny, but we can't, you know, write a full movie so we brought in uh noah garden schwartz who wrote for marvelous mrs mazel for like the whole run and we knew him from stand-up and his wife esther steinberg we wrote it with them and uh now we got like producers and stuff we're out to director so maybe maybe it'll get made maybe not let's go dude is it fully written now yeah what's it about it's about two liquor salesmen who are just down on their luck and we have a liquor so it's about we were like this is kind of a fun like wedding Crashers style two dudes who are like kind of best best buds but can't catch a break and struggling
Starting point is 01:09:04 liquor yeah it's us with our whiskey right there and uh it's it's like an old school comedy to wedding crashes why do you feel like they got away from that kind of comedy era it feels like they after the 2000 they kind of just dipped on man all that stuff because i think Hollywood kind of they ruin comedies i think they they were like they're in stand-up i don't get any notes you know whereas in a movie there's so much money behind it in the studio that They're like, ooh, you got to cut this. That's not good, you know? And that's poison for comedy as someone coming in and tinkering who doesn't know anything
Starting point is 01:09:36 about fucking comedy. So, I mean, even with stand-up, you know, Amazon was like, hey, would you mind not? I had a joke I opened on that they asked me not to open on because they were like, it's going to kill our algorithm. And I'm like, that's where the fuck we are with comedy. We're like slaves to the algorithm. And they're right, because it probably would have ruined the special. But I had a joke, it was about, I had a joke where I text a friend.
Starting point is 01:09:56 And I said, uh, congrats on your baby. She had a baby. And she sent me back a picture of her breastfeeding the baby. And I just wrote, oh, okay. And then she wrote, sorry, if that's like the female equivalent of a dick pick.
Starting point is 01:10:08 And I think it'd be way worse. So I send you a picture of a baby sucking my penis, you know? And that was my opening joke. So I was like, I just want to get a quick laugh. And Amazon was like, could you not open on that? And that's like a hard joke to like slide in. Yeah. I can't just like be like,
Starting point is 01:10:23 can't go middle of the pack and just put that one in there. Well, that's the thing. It's like I was kind of like, well, I can't. And then I was like, well, I guess at first you, like, fuck you, I'm an artist. I'm opening on the baby suck job joke, you know? Yeah, I'm not bending the knee. That's what I said. And then I was like, well, I just get the joke back if I don't use it.
Starting point is 01:10:39 Right. And they're like, yeah, I was like, all right, I'll just have the joke back. So now I can put in the next hour, I guess. Where's like, where's like, where these big corporations are trying to tell you to do X, Y, and Z where you are like, hey, I'm an artist. I'm going to do what I want to. Like, yeah, maybe the dick joke isn't the best move. I just, they didn't say it couldn't be in the special.
Starting point is 01:10:56 They were just like, we just don't open with it because if it's in the first two minutes, people that aren't fans you might shut it off. And I was like, that's fine, I guess. Like all the boys who have their girls, like, yeah, let's check out Sam. Let's check out Sam. That's the one they're buying in on it. You're talking about a baby sucking your dick. She's like, is who you want me to watch?
Starting point is 01:11:10 Is what you wanted? I know, but it did hit. It would hit. Like, I'm not, you know, you're kind of focused testing the jokes. Like I took these jokes to like Europe, Australia. I'm all over doing these jokes. So I kind of know what's going to work, but you're just like, all right. I mean, there's battles to pick.
Starting point is 01:11:26 And that was when I was just like, yeah, whatever, you know. Is there, has there been a joke you've tested in several markets that just has failed over and over? And you're like, all right, I guess nobody gets it the way me and me. Yeah. Sometimes when it's really self-deprecating, people are like, what the fuck? Like, that just made us sad. You think it's funny because you have enough distance from it, but they just, they, like, feel bad. And I've learned through time to not get annoyed with it because it means they like you.
Starting point is 01:11:49 But yeah, I had a joke about being how my biological father left. And then I was raised by my stepdad, who's like, my dad. who's like my dad I just call him dad great dad but when that happens you uh you have to get the biological father
Starting point is 01:12:03 to sign to like you know say I allow you to adopt him so I says like the opposite of a UPS package he's like here's my signature and I don't want this yeah
Starting point is 01:12:14 that's why I didn't hit it's too fucking sad I guess but I was like to me that's hilarious it's one like you're like laughing through but also the same time it's like damn that's kind of sad for one I guess but I
Starting point is 01:12:23 but I think is I would try to establish I'm like no I'm like good. I lucked the fuck out. But I think they were like, oh, this is a bummer. The biological, there was another one with him that would be like on the fence, right, about, uh, sometimes it would kill and sometimes it would get like zero about first time I ever met him. He was petting a cat. And I was like, what's up with a cat? He goes, I rescued her from the side of the road and then nursed her back to health. And I was like, so you did have it in you. It's another one. It would be like hit or miss. Really? People would not think that's funny? Sometimes. They would be like,
Starting point is 01:12:52 aw and I'd be like oh fucking it's a worse sound empathy and a comedy set just doesn't sound like the feeling you want I hate that shit yeah no doubt that is tough dude yeah when it comes to comedy like you starting the process like the ebbs and flows
Starting point is 01:13:07 of going on stage and essentially everyone bombs in the beginning yeah what made you want to keep coming back I think you just get like Colin Quinn would always say you get just enough to keep coming back which I think is so true each shit but then like but that one new line got something you get like a little taste one good stroke on the golf course and you're like okay
Starting point is 01:13:25 i'm figuring it out exactly it's crazy like i would it'd be so bad but i would hand out flyers forever on the street and uh you know you go in on stage and they're like uh people who like you got into the show i'm handing flyers them i'm like there's a hot show tonight all these big name comics and like oh all right and then i go up and they're like what the fuck is this you lied to us that's the guy that just gave me the fly he's the ticket boy yeah yeah so uh i bomb a lot in those rooms but then like every once in a while you get a win and you'd be like fuck i mean the the real sign to keep going was those friends who like they they support you in the beginning and they're like i don't know if he has it but then they come back like a year later and you got way better you know i mean they're
Starting point is 01:14:09 kind of like oh shit you're actually not bad at this now i feel it'd be harder to tell your boys that you're going to go into comedy than just a random person thinking you're not funny because you tell your boys say i'm going to go do stand it for the first i'm like all right yeah hey he's funny we'll see it seems pretty funny he can do it do a comedy he's going to do a else and then you bomb and they're like maybe you should not do this dude well that would happen and how do you even tell that's your boy like how hey would you think would you think stay at it bro just tying it up yeah and just like you know all right man appreciate that yeah I would think i think i think i would try to keep it secret like just kind of go in a while yeah well I always wanted
Starting point is 01:14:39 to bomb in the shadows there were these comics who were like hanging around like they'd be you know trying to schmooze with the bigger comics and that was not me I was like let me fucking bomb there was this room on 107th street that I would just do as much as possible and I was I was like, let me just get my new jokes here so that when they do see me, they're like, oh, shit, this guy's pretty good. The people that were just like schmoozing at a young age, I'm like, dude, stop fucking networking and eat shit in a private room. Like, that's how you get good.
Starting point is 01:15:07 Yeah. What do you? I was going to say, what were you doing at the time where you're just passing off flyers because I'm assuming you're not getting paid very good money? No, not good. I mean, I was in college when I was doing that, you know? And then I was doing part-time shit when I was at a college. and because I started making money on the road.
Starting point is 01:15:22 I won a festival called Laughing Skull in Atlanta, and the prize was a years worth of road work. And I was just like a working comic from that point. When you say years worth of roadwork, like, what does that entail? It means like they book me every weekend. Okay. Through the festival. And they're working hard for you to sell tickets.
Starting point is 01:15:40 You get the car. No, they don't fucking, no, no door deal. It was a flat fee at every club. Got you. But it was enough to get by. And I'd, you know, do whatever sad shit you've seen, comics doing movies where you're like selling t-shirts or whatever to make extra i mean sometimes you're doing that i would be opening for people in those clubs sometimes i'd either be headlining
Starting point is 01:15:58 like c or b rooms and opening in the a rooms and in those rooms it was like shit money so i'd be selling t-shirts after the show and sometimes make more in the t-shirts then but the worst thing is when you're fucking the joke the t-shirt's usually a joke from your act that you're selling after the show and when that joke bombs and you still have to fucking hawk that after the the show yeah so you remember when you hated this fucking joke uh 25 bucks yeah right here do you think uh do you think podcasting has helped comedians in a lot of ways it seems like any time you go on a comedian's podcast it just especially if they're solo just seems like they're working out bits constantly congratulations comes to mind with the delia back in the day you just see him like always
Starting point is 01:16:38 working through something was that like a new advance in the in the game i don't know i mean it is in terms of popularity but i don't think it's good for your writing Because you get burnt out when you do, you see those comics that do like nine podcasts. Your act is going to suffer. You know, you can't, you only have so much in you, I think. Might be drunk, though. Yeah, it's fun. It's a fun pod.
Starting point is 01:17:03 Yeah, that's when you just get, you get to kind of hang with a boy. You also did a pod with that Julian Elman, right? I love Julian. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I would love to keep doing it, but I want to do it in L.A. for season two, and I just. Oh, for real? That's why I didn't work out?
Starting point is 01:17:16 Yeah. It started off where? New York. Okay, it started off in the York. But he's got his girl, his girl in L.A., so that's why I couldn't keep going. Jules got a girl? His daughter. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:17:28 I actually, girl. No, he is definitely not settled on. He's a bachelor, bro. Yeah, he's out there. He's a bachelor. He's like, oh, he's got a girl. He has daughter. He's a great fucking hang, though.
Starting point is 01:17:38 I love him. He's a good dude, man. It seems like that show is doing really well, too. Yeah, it's crushing. Yeah. Was it awkward when he was, obviously he's got his daughter in L.A., but was it awkward being like, hey, are you going to be able to do this? No. I mean, it's just suck that didn't work out, but it's not like, it wasn't weird between us.
Starting point is 01:17:54 I think he, I was on part of my take and they were like, fuck with me that he's going to get like a new comedian. And he and I was like in LA, I'm like, which I wouldn't even been hurt by. I'm like, go get fucking an LA comedian no sports like Santino or someone. Yeah. And he texts me right after. He didn't text me. He doesn't text. He voice memos.
Starting point is 01:18:12 It's like every fucking LA person, they're always, they message while you're driving. So they don't text you. Hey, bobs. Yeah. We would never replace you. It's just going to be me now. I was like, I wasn't offended, but that's like how thoughtful Julian is, you know. Growing up in New York, being a big New York sports fan, how was it with him?
Starting point is 01:18:29 Did you give him, well, did he give you any shit? Yeah, it went, it went both ways because, you know, when I get cocky, we did, like, Eli Manning and Teddy Bruske for our first episode, and I'm wearing the fucking giant Super Bowl hack because I'm a Giants fan. And that was, like, that was an awesome episode. I fucking loved Eli. And it was cool as hell that Bruskey comes on. to discuss losing the Super Bowl.
Starting point is 01:18:50 Yeah. Because I guess when you win enough, you're kind of like, who gives the shit, I lost one. Yeah, but that year was nuts. Yeah. Because they were not on the door of a perfect season. Yes. And the Giants, everyone forgets.
Starting point is 01:19:00 The Giants almost beat them. I think it was week 17 or 16. I forget which week it was, but the Giants almost beat them. And I remember that being like, oh, the Giants could beat the Patriots. It was like really close. Because you guys got hot late in the year. Because you guys just kind of like squeaked in the playoffs, yeah?
Starting point is 01:19:14 Yeah. And our defense was fucking stacked. Like that was stray hands. last year. Tuck was a part of that too. Tuck. Oh man, Antonio Pierce was a beast. That's when they had the cool face mask too,
Starting point is 01:19:24 make everybody look like they're robots. Like, what was his name? Tuck. I don't remember his first name. Tuck, I don't remember his first name. There's another guy, I feel like on the interior. Yeah, I can't remember. But they had some absolute studs out there, dude.
Starting point is 01:19:37 Yeah. Stag team. Do you find yourself rooting for the Raiders at all with AP at the helm? I don't, I root for his success. I don't root for the race. I'm a Giants fan. But, yeah, I think it's cool that he that he got the gig. I mean, he deserves it, I think, you know.
Starting point is 01:19:51 How tied in with the Giants, like, fandom are you? Like, were you bummed seeing Seekwon go to the U.S? Yeah, of course. I mean, how, it hurts enough to lose a guy that talented, but the fucking Eagles, I fucking hate the Eagles, dude. I feel like Eagles are a place that if you're not in, if you're not in Philadelphia, everyone outside of Philadelphia, like, there's a, like, a rumbling that everyone hates the Eagles. Oh, it's just a scary place to play. Philly sports fans are psychotic. Yes. I'm a huge Knicks fan, so during that first round, I was tweeting nonstop. Like, fuck Philly.
Starting point is 01:20:20 Just not just drunk and bars being like, I fucking hate the Sixers. And the shit that I got back, I was like, damn, maybe I should stop. This is crazy. And then the next round against the Pacers, I was like, this isn't bad. You guys are like nice farm people. Yeah. The Philly people are like doxy my family and shit. It's like a different, it's a different type of hate.
Starting point is 01:20:38 Dude, the Northeast, their fan base, especially with their professional sports is crazy. But Philly's the most crazy. Philly's the most crazy. Bill's Mafia goes hard to. I got a little squabble with one. They're in. band-based yeah that that's through social media yeah yeah they just go hard but you'd be at a philly game like charles she was wearing her washington jacket when we played there and they're like you
Starting point is 01:20:57 can't and throwing full cans of beer at her no shit's where god bro yeah i mean bills when you live in the combination of insanely cold weather you're always losing like it's enough you basically turn into jack nicholson in the shining you start to fucking spiral all working no player in a stadium yeah Yeah. And they spent all that money on that stadium for that for that fucking city when everyone like, have you been walking around downtown there? Everyone's on drugs. Like that city needs a lot of help and they're like, no, fuck, we'll put it in the stadium. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I actually have a weird soft spot for Buffalo because I perform. The great crowds. It's like a weird thing about you go up there. It's like Buffalo is great. Rochester's fucking cool.
Starting point is 01:21:41 Syracuse will make you want to commit suicide for sure. It's awful. But Buffalo is cool. great Italian food. I like buffalo. Great wings. I don't know about that. You don't think so. I just... Really?
Starting point is 01:21:54 Oh, I thought you were kidding. No, no, no. I'm being so serious. I just think it's the blue cheese thing for me. If you're up there and you order a ranch, they literally laugh at the building. Oh, you're a ranch guy? Yeah, big ranch.
Starting point is 01:22:04 You're both ranch over blue cheese? Big ranch guy and I think blue cheese is maybe the worst condiment. Oh, wow. Yeah, I have a serious... I only do it with wings, but like for wings, I like it. I have a despise for all blue cheese. The crumble, the sauce, all of it.
Starting point is 01:22:16 Same. But I do. I feel like I've learned. It's mainly just because we haven't grown up and matured yet. Because I feel like they say when your palate gets a little bit more mature, you start lacking the blue cheese. No. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:22:26 They need cheese with mold on it. It's like, what are we doing? What are we trying to prove out here? There's nothing for that. Yeah. Not right? Yeah, I'm not a blue cheese guy. I hate blue cheese.
Starting point is 01:22:34 I love it. I love it. Why do you think the Northeast is so big on their pro sports, but not necessarily on their college sports? They suck. Yeah, that's a simple answer. Yeah, there's just, yeah, we're not. great at it there's not a real culture i mean who am i going to root for in the city like st johns or
Starting point is 01:22:52 ruckers ruckers yeah they won the first football game ever right what you talking about my mom actually went there so i should be rooting for them but not dude i no i mean we just grow up with like then also i was so spoiled like i think about the way uh boston guys who are like in their 20s now are spoiled how just every team wins right not being a 90s new yorker was pretty fucking cool because the Rangers won the cup. The Knicks, we never got over the hump, but we were good every year. We were in the mix, and we bloodied teams up.
Starting point is 01:23:24 It was fun. Like, no one's beating Jordan. That's just how it was. But the Yankees were fucking unreal. And the Giants, too. So it was a pretty cool. Yeah, look at that. Messier, badass.
Starting point is 01:23:37 That is cool. I never really got into hockey like that. I know you're a big hockey guy. I like hockey a lot. My brother, he played juniors. and my dad grew up and he died in Minnesota and he was always growing up in Arizona he was like we're at the Ice Dead
Starting point is 01:23:50 and we're always playing hockey and stuff like that it is the most fun sport to watch like you were saying earlier playoff hockey Oh my God getting to go to the Caps games out in Washington like they would be the best in the regular season but they would always lose in the playoffs but going there
Starting point is 01:24:02 experiencing like game sixes game sevens like playoff hockey is insane to watch because it's so fast pace It's interesting too like the places in the country now that have great like in game experiences like a Preds game here it's in the south. You would think
Starting point is 01:24:17 no one really cares about hockey but the endgame experience is insane. Yeah. They go so hard. They're yelling at the goalie. There's catfish
Starting point is 01:24:23 being thrown around. Broadway's packed. Broadway's packed. It's just an absolute party. Yeah. And I feel like there's a lot of like weird inside joke stuff with hockey too.
Starting point is 01:24:31 They throw the rats on the ice and I like shit like that. Yeah. Detroit does the octopus. Yeah. It's just everyone's got their little thing. And we were talking this before the podcast. Like the hockey culture
Starting point is 01:24:40 is like a one-of-one culture. Yeah. It's a small team. everybody's a booze bag everyone gets after it you know you wake up you rub your eyes and you just and then you go and fight and you play it at the same time
Starting point is 01:24:53 it's a gentleman's game just like you're saying there's unwritten rules things you do you don't do it's it's cool because there's just a lot of things that in football it's like cut it's like the same yeah well the NBA players are now like almost too fashionable where they're coming in and like
Starting point is 01:25:08 I'm like it's not a runway you're going to play a fucking sport you know like I see guys coming in and like furry goo she like you know those those sandal things or whatever and I'm like you're supposed to be the tough guy in the team right yeah I want to see a guy coming in like tims or something right it has like boxing gloves on yeah like like a Mike Tyson outfit yeah it does feel like everybody's trying to go viral for some fashion thing pregame it's fucking don't look at like they look at like they look at one on the left just wearing shorts that's fine but like I mean what is this shit on the right what is he wearing right it's like you're trying yeah I don't know how tall that cat is but he looks at he looks at he looks at he looks at that guy is but he looks at he looks at he looks at he looks at he's not I don't know how tall that cat is but he looks at like an alien. He's like 16. I think. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:47 I mean, what do you find a shirt that long? That's so inconvenient. Inconvenient, dude. It's crazy. He looks like a condom. Yeah. He looks ridiculous.
Starting point is 01:25:55 Like one of them car dealership balloons that just. Yeah. Black inflatable tubes. It is nuts, man. I mean, what the fuck? That's like a Freddie Kruger vibe right there. That's actually,
Starting point is 01:26:05 yeah, but you look at how hardy. Like, that's the thing is like, it's supposed to be, that's Sabaka, right? He's also like a beautiful looking man.
Starting point is 01:26:11 He looks like sculpted, you know? Yeah. But he's, great looking body. I know nothing about basketball. He's a, he was a beast.
Starting point is 01:26:19 But if you, if you're wearing this outfit, that's a nun outfit. What is he? When the skirts get involved, like, even Dionne Dawkins, you see him at the Espies?
Starting point is 01:26:29 I did not. He's a tackle for the, the bills. He was rocking like a skirt. Yeah. And that scarf, dude. It took a 65-year-old woman three weeks to knit.
Starting point is 01:26:40 That thing is wild. I was reading the Agassi book. It's so fucking funny. I mean, but there's, you know, he was like an angry kid. He's a rebel. And there's, you know, that's like a fuck you to his dad and everyone at this camp. He's like fucking up dudes in tournaments with mascara and like a pink mohawk on. It's like a fuck you to them.
Starting point is 01:26:56 And in front of the whole camp, the guy's like, you want to fucking play like that? I'm putting a dress on you next game. Like, that's how they shamed him. Really? I'm like, he's halfway there. I don't think he's going to give a shit. Now that's a look. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:08 It's kind of awesome. It's a hair bit's fake, though. The hair's not real? No, he was wearing a hairpiece. sir. JP's a big tennis guy. That was like, that was the big deal. Like, that was even before like coming out as gay was a big dude.
Starting point is 01:27:20 That was like coming out as bald. That was like a big thing out there. Yeah. There was a big fight in the 70s and 80s about being bald, huh? That's when, like, homeover's right, the strongest they've ever been. Yeah, but you have to be like a strong ball guy like Kojack or something. You have to be like a badass ball guy. You know being bald was like an embarrassing thing because look at all the old guys now.
Starting point is 01:27:41 They try so hard just to take their little wisps of the. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. But now there's so many treatments you could do. Or you could just be like, look at Statham. He looks so fucking cool. But you got to hope that you have the right shaped head. He's got a good shaped head.
Starting point is 01:27:53 That is what it's all about. I heard the backstory in this guy. He had like a crazy criminal record before he got into acting. Really? That's literally me just saying shit out of my ass right now for the sake of this podcast. But I do believe he had himself a little bit of a criminal background. But I, yeah, I think now if you're able to put a couple coins in your pocket and you start to go bald, why not?
Starting point is 01:28:12 Yeah. Why not just go put the plugs in your pocket? Yeah. Is that real? Yeah. Oh, that's for sure real. That's real. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:22 Can you imagine if that was your actual mugshot? I mean, that's gotta be the proudest you've ever been in your entire life. He looks fucking cool. Yeah, he does look fucking cool. Damn, he's got a strong back. Oh, his back is nuts. That's like Affleck and the town back. Now we're getting the sports talk, dude.
Starting point is 01:28:37 Nothing like dudes just admiring another dude. I'm strong enough in my, in my, I'm secure enough in my sexuality. I can admire a dude's back. No question. You kind of have to. Like, yes.
Starting point is 01:28:48 Being in the locker room and just seeing cats. Yeah. It's like Derek Henry, you kind of just admire him as they walk by. They walk by and like, man, I wish I had half that piece. You get a little more proud of yourself.
Starting point is 01:29:01 Like, how do I do it? Yeah. Slam the door. Why are you got to bring up? Yeah, yeah. Just dudes that are specimens. Look at this man right here. No key,
Starting point is 01:29:10 not bad, Will. It's not terrible. No. That was good. It's not terrible at all. You got a strong back, kid. Thank you, man. You do. I do take a lot of pride.
Starting point is 01:29:18 He's got a D1 back. Yeah, I could see that. Would you say your best future is physically? When you look in the mirror and you're like, this sucks, this sucks, but I'm proud of this. What is that? What are you proud of? Nothing. No, don't say that.
Starting point is 01:29:29 You have a strong hair line. You have a strong hair line. I guess that's it. You got a good beard. All right. You guys are, you got to go on here. Take your shirt off, dude. It's not good.
Starting point is 01:29:39 It's not good. I start checking out of his legs if he's got the tears. drops going on with his knee? No. I'm fucking... Oh yeah, that's a rough one. I was trying to... I was during COVID spiraling in California.
Starting point is 01:29:52 I was like, let me do a... Let me do a Kenny Powers type. Yeah, the American flag tank top. It is kind of nice, man. Yeah, those are dark times.

It seems like you're blowing up in the comedy world right now.
Starting point is 01:31:10 If you say so, man. It seems like it. Yeah. I mean, it's hard to tell, you know. I remove myself a lot from it. But like, yeah, you just want to, all I want is to go to clubs or theaters on the road and people show up. Because like, it's so fucking hard to write without having your people there. That's what you do for years where you're like, all right, they give you a flat fee.
Starting point is 01:31:35 You show up. And the whole time they're like, you got to prove you're funny. There's this David Tell set on Conan from back in the day that we think of where first joke hits and he goes, I've proven I'm funny. Yeah. And I just like, oh, that's so fucking real. Yeah. Just the anxiety of all that. Is that the biggest fear when you're going up is just the bomb or are you past that fear?
Starting point is 01:31:56 Yeah, I don't give a shit. I feel bad for the audience more than I do for me. Like if it's bad, I'm like, oh, man. Have you ever publicly apologized? I've said like, I don't apologize because it's like it's like going on a date that's bad. where you're like i'm just gonna apologize you're like well this isn't working you know so i've definitely i'll let them know that i'm sometimes where i'm like i know this is going badly like i've seen comics like just pretend it's going well and power through i will i will say i just want you to know
Starting point is 01:32:25 i'm good enough to know that this is bad yeah i want you to know that i'm not shitty and unaware you know you start seeing the cross at least i'm notting their head yeah oh they know yeah i had a weird one a week ago i bombed three straight It was weird. That really never happens to me anymore. I did three in a night. It was the stand in their upstairs room, and it just didn't connect. And then I was like, man, that was rusty.
Starting point is 01:32:50 And I saw Colin Quinn at the salary. He's like, they fucking stink. And I was like, shit, all right. But I was like, in your head, you're like, I'll get them. You know, there's that ego. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I went up and I fucking ate it. And then there was a third one, and they were good, but I was just kind of rattled.
Starting point is 01:33:02 And I sucked. And I was like, man, I had you. You were living in the past. You weren't getting to the next play. I was, yeah. I was thinking about it. And I'm doing all new shit from not in the special
Starting point is 01:33:10 when I'm at the cellar. So I'm like really trying to and it's tough, tough because you're trying, I'm trying to hone like a seven minute Holocaust chunk right now. Okay. And it's hard to work out
Starting point is 01:33:19 in the 15 minutes that I need a building that, you know, that goodwill. Yeah, you're taking half the time and talk about genocide. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:27 That's, but it's a funny joke. There's a murky water's there. Yeah, but it's, I think, I don't know what you say. No,
Starting point is 01:33:34 look, it's, those are jokes you got to earn. Yeah. I say it's tough to come out and be like, I've tried a couple of times. You get that, you're like, let me see if I can dig myself a hole and dig out of it. So I've definitely been like, I was watching that Hitler doc. I like open my set that and they're just like, nope.
Starting point is 01:33:50 And then you're like, well, it's going to be a rough seven minutes. And then you're like, let's see if I can dig out of this. There's a lot of comics that are just like great. People talk about Lewis CK. About like essentially coming in the room and purposely losing the crowd just to get him back. Like some crazy stuff. Yeah. Other people you watch and kind of like,
Starting point is 01:34:07 train yourself on like get out of jail free card comments i always respected how he would do that i mean he would definitely um i mean he opened a special with like an n-word bit which i was like that's fucking pretty dicey yeah but he but i thought he would never go for that no no fucking chance no shot no he is incredible not the things he's done off the stand but definitely a hell of a comedian Oh, he's a hell of a comedian. He's one of the best comedians of all time. Would he be on your Mount Rushmore? The Mount Rushmore shit's tricky, but yeah, I think he's one of the...
Starting point is 01:34:43 It's a fun game to play, though. Who were some of those guys before you got into it? This is such sports talk, though. Sports people, it's like the greatest, but it's like it's entertainment. I think it's different. Like, I can do a Mount Rushmore in sports, but Burr is phenomenal. Yeah, they're two of the best ever. Who are the guys that were inspiring you to get into it and kind of stick with and be like,
Starting point is 01:34:59 yo, this is the lane I want to be, no matter how much I'm bombing right now. Or handing out flyers. Like, I'll figure it out. some point. Bill Burr was one of them for sure. Louis. Like I saw Bill, you know, David Tell was incredible rock, you know, kind of all the classics, you know. I love Rodney Dangerfield. He fucking killed me. Back to school is like my go-to when I'm like feeling low. I'm like, let me watch Back to School. It's like, you can't be in a bad mood. Every character in that movie serves to just set up his jokes. But like his wife will be like, you're impossible. He's
Starting point is 01:35:30 like, oh, yeah, and you're easy, you know? I love comedy like that, which every character's just like, setting him up yeah yeah just serving on a silver platter yeah what is kind of your north star like you having a special now like what when you look at your five 10 years like what is your north star like dude i'm doing it that's the thing it's like you know like what do you when people say to you guys i guess sports is different because you're like i want a super bowl or something but like don't you feel when you make the NFL you're like fuck i'm i'm i just want to work i just want to be continuing to work because you feel that way and then you read some comments you're like fuck i can honestly say i got to change the narrative right now really
Starting point is 01:36:05 Do you guys, you look at the comments. Oh, bro. It's tough not to. I mean, that Twitter search bar, that's the devil. You search it? I'll have. I don't do that. I'll see the ads, but yeah, I would never search my name.
Starting point is 01:36:16 Bro, I've said this story before, but I remember playing on Thanksgiving, missing two tackles on the first drive. Story's oldest time. Yeah, story is old as time. And all I was thinking about on the bench is like how people are just trashing me right now. Because sometimes after a game, you like quote your name and write in your name to see what people are I had a pretty solid game. Like, let's see if everybody else thought the same thing. And it's like, oh, fuck, they don't.
Starting point is 01:36:40 And it would just, like, be in your head mentally because you wouldn't be separating yourself from, like, you know, just watching film and, you know, knowing what you do, knowing what the coaches are saying and everybody else and just understanding what your job is, you're like, you start to get consumed by what people think of you. It's a very slippery slope, as you know. That's the danger, right?
Starting point is 01:36:59 Because, like, we're all looking for validation in this unhealthy place. Yeah. Why am I looking here for this shit? It's a sickness, dude. Yeah. Because you're just looking for all, like, hey, I hope everybody loves me in this moment. You'll see nine comments that are like, you're the best or whatever the comment is. But the ones like, this guy fucking sucks and you're like, man, do I?
Starting point is 01:37:18 Am I actually the worst? I bet some of those guys are fans too of yours. No question. There's been multiple times when I was playing that you would, someone would say something nasty. And then you would comment back to them like, oh, I just want to see if you respond. Isn't that weird? Yeah, it's a weird deal. It makes me think a lot about like anybody.
Starting point is 01:37:35 in the entertainment industry before the internet. And was life easier? Because obviously now people get exposure way more. People are able to see you learn about you become fans of you. But also the hate comes and floods. Yeah. Like I wonder if Jordan ever like grabbed the newspaper and was like reading through all that. Oh, I mean, this whole doc is like she would literally make up shit to get angry about.
Starting point is 01:37:55 It's like my fucking ex-girlfriend. That was a bad example. That was a bad example guy. Michael Jordan. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:38:02 It's the only person I know before the internet. it is a wild deal it's hard man it's hard not to feed it feed that side of you that's like it just wants a validation you're like please tell me i'm good enough yes we i mean but also you know you're working that's you got here because do the right people believe in me that's that's the thing right and and we all do it like it's a moment of weakness did they nail the one thing that i think about myself like are they fucking on it and every once in a while you're like yeah they got it Yes, I know. But that's all right.
Starting point is 01:38:34 You know, like, you just can't, you just can't live there, man. Like moments of weakness are one thing. But if you live in that place, you're, it's just, yeah, this social media shit, it's amazing. Like, we're adults. Like, think about what this does the kids. Right. And they do studies. Like, Facebook does studies where they're like, wow, this is really bad.
Starting point is 01:38:54 And they're like, we're going to keep doing it. Yeah. A lot of money. We said we did the study. Yeah. That's how they do it. It is a great mindset. When you say like, what's your North Star?
Starting point is 01:39:02 You ask what the North Stars and you're like, I'm doing it right now. That's a fantastic mindset. Dude, I just wanted to be able to sell out comedy club weekends. You know, that was it. I was like, can I sell out comedy clubs? And then, you know, last year was a theater tour. And I was like, I don't have any desire to get to arenas. I mean, like, that I'm good here.
Starting point is 01:39:20 This is a great area. I don't particularly, like if I got there, fine. But I have no desire. I don't really like arena comedy. I like it in theaters. I like it. Because there's theaters where it still feels intimate, even up to like 2000 or more.
Starting point is 01:39:37 But then you get in an arena one day. I'm not saying I wouldn't take it. I'm just saying I'm good. Yeah. Which is a good thing too because it shows that you're more in line with worrying about what your craft is and what you enjoy about it versus thinking, I got to get to this next thing,
Starting point is 01:39:53 I got to get to this next thing. To me, that's where you get caught up and trying to find the validation everywhere else. Yeah. Because you're so hungry to chase this ambition. You don't know if the pulse of it is trending with you. No, I'm with you. That even made sense.
Starting point is 01:40:06 You just got to stay. No, you just have to stay. No, it totally made sense. You have to stay loving what you do. Like, you see these guys. I remember hearing a Michael Jordan quote once where someone asked him, how did you become the best? And they all thought he was, like, I worked harder than everybody.
Starting point is 01:40:19 But the quote was, I learned to love the shitty parts. Yeah. And I was like, wow, that's kind of beautiful. I heard that. I was like, I'm going to roll in a morning TV and morning radio. And I'm going to, like, really try. I'm going to pretend I love. love this shit yeah it's got to be like the gym for you guys you know it's like it's the meetings man
Starting point is 01:40:35 those meetings that suck yeah yeah i was just i was just talking the other day it's like part of you as a season gets closer you start to miss the certain things involved but also it's like all the shitty parts to come with like feeling that heat outside imagining training going out in training camp you just start in six days yes they start in six days that's just because you even imagine doing that no i mean when we were down we went down to uva for the barstow bowl and it was Wyoming versus Toledo. Yeah. And just watching guys warm up,
Starting point is 01:41:05 I'm like, how the fuck did I ever do something like that? It's grueling. It's just pop the padgers. It's grueling. And the farther you get away from it, you're like, that's just crazy. It's almost as grueling is living in Toledo. Yeah. That's a rough fucking city.
Starting point is 01:41:16 Yeah. Toledo's got a lot of them Confederate flags rocking out there. Yeah. I've been to Toledo a couple times. Those boys, they think they're in the south or something. It is wild. Oh, it's, uh, yeah, I did some rough weekends there coming up. I remember like a lot of different.
Starting point is 01:41:31 I closed one club there. I remember like a guy drove me to the airport and my manager at the time was like, did you cash the check? And I was like, I'm at the fucking airport. And he goes, cash it immediately. I was like, I'm at the airport. What do you mean? He's like, the club just closed.
Starting point is 01:41:46 I'm like, like, right now? And he's like, yeah, he's like, you close the club. I'm like, all right. Wait. So I had to like land and run to a, it was a Sunday thing. I had to wait until Monday or whatever. But like, yeah, the club closed. Did you get a cashed?
Starting point is 01:41:58 I got it. but I've been stiffed before. Have you really? Yeah, I did a gig in Atlantic City of all places where it's like, that's what you expect to get stiff in Atlantic City. But yeah, I just filmed my half hour special for Comedy Central. I think it was 2015. And I was doing a week in AC.
Starting point is 01:42:16 And it was like, not crazy money, but the time you're like, this would be nice to have. And it was one of those gigs where they're like, you're playing the casino, but like we got you a different place to stay. Like, that's how fucking insignificant. Yeah. You were. So I remember going in like drunk to the, we were on the boardwalk, but it was kind of like a shitty sad apartment.
Starting point is 01:42:35 It looked like where like a just like a PI would stay. And I came in like loaded one night after one of the sets. And I just remember looking to cockroach stomping it out and they're just passing out on the, on the bed. It's all a bad omen for the week. And I was paired with two other comics. It was like three comics headlining. One of them was like a degenerate sports gambler in the summer. He's just betting on every baseball game.
Starting point is 01:42:55 And I did, we didn't speak much in the green room, but all I'd hear would be like, can't catch. a fucking break. Every time he looked at his phone, he was like the fucking tigers. I'm like, you're betting on regular season baseball. Dude, what do you expect?
Starting point is 01:43:05 Yeah. These games are insignificant, you know? So we, yeah, we do the full week and I remember at the end, the end,
Starting point is 01:43:15 my agent at the time was like, yeah, they didn't, they didn't have the money. And I was like, what do you mean? He's like, they don't,
Starting point is 01:43:21 you're not going to get paid. I was like, I just was here for a week. It sounds like you had to fire that agent. Of course. He had to go. You like,
Starting point is 01:43:28 do the gig. he's like, oh, they don't have the money to pay you. Yeah, his whole thing was like, he owes other people way more money. I'm like, that's not the comforting words I was really looking for, but... Well, you put a judgment on this guy? The guy disappeared. Oh, the agent? No, the, uh, the guy who ran the room in AC, yeah.
Starting point is 01:43:44 Yeah, you put two together there. Yeah. That is crazy. What are some of your favorite places to play? Favorite cities? I mean, dude, I like it. I mean, I did the rhyme in here last year. That was gorgeous.
Starting point is 01:43:56 That's, like, iconic. It is. The more. in Seattle is a pretty beautiful theater. I just saw Bill Burr filmed a special there. I was like, yeah, I was thinking about filming there. I think it's, like, beautiful. The Wilbur and Boston, it's where I take my special.
Starting point is 01:44:09 I love it. It's just, like, so classic. I love New York, so like, you know, wherever, but I'm, though, the majestic in Dallas is pretty fucking cool. The majestic. Pull that up. That was beautiful. Dude, honestly, everywhere I was last year in the theaters was sick.
Starting point is 01:44:28 I but yeah I mean any city's cool for a night that's the other thing too like yeah it's beautiful look at it's like just classic um looks like that place uh Notre Dame yeah well oh the fucking Chicago theater dude is that that's called yeah that's a great one Chicago oh that's what's called the one I'm talking about you know what there's one in Notre Dame that we went to it looks very similar to that oh I don't know do you notice a difference where you're at in the country
Starting point is 01:44:59 What jokes hit and what don't? Not really. They're my crap. I mean, nah, it's pretty consistent. Like, I'm also not making like these crazy political statements in my act. If I talk politics at all or social commentary, I'm like, this better be funny whether you're pro-life or pro-choice. I kind of want everyone to laugh at it. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:19 I'm not asking you to pick aside with my jokes. Although some people hear like a dead baby joke and they're like, you, motherfucker. But I'm like, no, it's just, it's fun. It's a fun dead baby joke. It's a fun dead baby joke. They exist. I did a lot of dead baby jokes in this special. I couldn't, I can't help it.
Starting point is 01:45:35 Like, you're like, I shouldn't write. Dude, that's the problem. It's like, I tell myself not to write dark jokes, but then you're just sitting alone in a room and you start laughing yourself. And you're like, why the fuck? Are these the jokes that pop into my head, you know? Like, everything that's popping into my head is like a dead baby joke
Starting point is 01:45:52 or like, you know, as I said, like Hitler jokes. Like, they just keep, they keep making me laugh because they're so, that's what makes me laugh, something so bad that it's funny, you know? I mean, dead baby jokes. I had a joke, the one joke that got me, like, death threats for real, was I did a joke about a baby that got eaten by an alligator at Disney. And immediately, I was like, let me try a joke about this, you know?
Starting point is 01:46:20 And I was at the cellar, and I opened by being like, man, I don't want to come off like a gun nut, but I think that that baby was armed, he'd still be with us. And a woman stands up like, fuck you, you piece of shit. And I'm just like, all right, this is weird. So let me roll with this. So I'm just messing with her at this point. I'm like, did you even watch the baby's funeral on TV?
Starting point is 01:46:45 In my head, I'm like, and she's like, oh, I didn't. I'm like, in my head, like, you think they televised baby funerals? I'm clearly messy with her. I said, well, if you did, you would have seen the mom come on through tears and say, see you later, alligator. and she just was like horrified and ran out screaming, wrote a long, she wrote a long email to the comedy seller,
Starting point is 01:47:04 which they made the mistake of sending to me. Yeah. And then I just turned it into a whole fucking like eight minute chunk that I put in a Comedy Central hour special. And Comedy Central when I put it out was like, you have to say before this bit that we don't condone this. And I was like, all right. So you had to say Comedy Central does not condone this next one?
Starting point is 01:47:23 Yeah, I think I said something along. lines of like comedy center wanted me to say that this is not funny uh me on the other hand i think it works so it's like something like that and then uh it was like an eight minute bit and legally they were like worried that they were going to get sued because it was a real story but i was the bit wasn't about the it was just that opening joke was about the baby and then everything else is about the woman complaining but i got like i still got messages like i hope you every once in a while would like get reshared and go viral and i would just get like you motherfucker You're like, oh, fuck, here we go.
Starting point is 01:47:56 Like, we hope you fucking die. And I'm like, well, I'm not going to Disney. You know, like, although we did go surfing with Bert on his fully loaded tour. And I kept thinking, like, if I get eaten by an alligator, that bit's going to go viral again. Yeah. And that would be like see, motherfucker. Yeah. How fun is that fully loaded tour?
Starting point is 01:48:14 It seems like he does it up right. It's probably the best tour I've ever been a part of it. It was, like, insane. I mean, we're playing, like, pick up basketball one day. He brings a trainer. He brings a cold. plunge. So it's like hard living at night.
Starting point is 01:48:27 And then every day you're just like, he's like, hey, you guys want to do weightlifting and batting practice at the minor league stadium? I'm like, fuck yes. It sounds amazing. Yeah. It's great. The bird is the life of the party. We do like a beer Olympics every year, the last three years.
Starting point is 01:48:43 And two years ago he came. And he looked rough. Like he couldn't get his ring off his finger. He was looking all red. Yeah. He was a little inflated. Yeah. He had that TRT like skin tone.
Starting point is 01:48:54 and this year he comes back. He looks way better. Way more put together. And I love his energy is all time. I can't believe he does it 24-7. He's a man. He really doesn't slow down. He's like real-life Homer Simpson.
Starting point is 01:49:07 If he had a lot of money. That's a good thing to put it. Yeah. He is awesome. Big fan of him. If you could build out, let's just say, you're headlining a tour, you can build out your act any way you want it.
Starting point is 01:49:20 Everybody's available. What three acts would you take with you? Who would I bring? Yeah. Damn, that's tough. I got to bring Norman. Why did you say it like that? No, because, I mean, we're just like, we have fun to...
Starting point is 01:49:34 I got to bring Norman. I got to give my boy. I got to hold him. Because I'm thinking about who I'm eliminating. That's why. Not who I'm bringing. Stavros, I like, I don't see him enough. I can't get him out of his house.
Starting point is 01:49:46 What's his vibe? Because he seems hilarious. I'm a fan of his. He's the best. I mean, he's... Yeah, I mean, there's, nothing not he's hilarious he's like a fat poon hound i mean he's not to love him i mean he's got the perfect look with that mustache and the hair trilling yeah he's the man
Starting point is 01:50:06 anytime a ravens games happen anytime of the ravens thing is funny he did the uh the schedule release for the ravens oh that's right yeah i was part of a schedule release thing for the cowboys they just asked me to do it and i was like they i was like no i'm a giants fan they're like eli's doing it and I was like all right I'll do it nice and then it was just like post malone like they call you and it's just post malone and a bunch of other people like it was like the mascot and they just like stare at you and don't
Starting point is 01:50:32 say a word and it was just me being like what the fuck and that was what they used I thought you can let me say something like witty they're like no that's that's good that's perfect good job they hang up the phone text you nice no he crushed it with that that schedule reveal was awesome and yeah so that's two I don't know for the last
Starting point is 01:50:48 one anyone I feel weird saying like an elder statesman so I'll probably bring another guy who's like in my class comedically maybe like Joe List or someone like that Joe List I don't know if I'm familiar with Joe I think that's a really good show right there not a lot of diversity but it's a good show you know exactly you know your target audience yeah yeah no doubt you know what you're trying to do yeah I want to see yours yeah where am I oh there I am I got PFT in it Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:51:31 Great cameo. Yeah. Great cameo. A lot of fans. A lot of cowboy fans too. That must have been good for the juice. Oh, man. Hate the cowboys.
Starting point is 01:51:41 Hate the cowboys and like eagles are the two ones. Eagles, it hurts more, though, because they're actually good. Yeah. I don't believe. You kind of should the bad at the end of you last year, though. They did. But I believe in hurts way more than I believe in DAC. Why do you say that?
Starting point is 01:51:57 Really? I mean, I just think he, first off, he made, He's made a Super Bowl, you know? Yeah. I just trust him more with the ball. He's just a fucking, I think he's a beast. And also they have so many weapons on Philly. I was going to say, I feel like Hertz is just surrounded by a lot more.
Starting point is 01:52:13 Not saying Hertz isn't a good player. I think he's a really good player. But I feel like DAC does more with less. That's fair. He does more with less and I think it's a coaching issue too at the Cowboys. Talk about the situational ball? Their situational ball is just horrendous. A couple years ago in the playoffs,
Starting point is 01:52:29 So we bring up this all the time, but they run like a draw at the end of the game. They don't get in the ball and the ref doesn't spot it fast enough. They're all passing the ball around to each other and they're trying to give it. Yeah. It just seems like when there's like a little time in the clock, they're throwing it over the middle with no timeouts, not playing the sidelines at all. Yeah, they're not getting the best out of what they have either. Yeah, because they had the cowboys do have studs.
Starting point is 01:52:51 And their defense, they always have a good defense or big names on defense. Oh my God. The fucking what's his name? I don't know why I'm Parsons. Parsons? He's like one of the most unbelievable players I've ever seen. I'm not expecting.
Starting point is 01:53:03 In the interview with him and Watson together. C.J. Strauss. C.J. Strauss. I'm thinking C.J. Watts and the basketball player. Yeah. No, Strauss and Parsons together are hilarious. The back and forth is really good. Isn't Ferguson the tight end?
Starting point is 01:53:16 Yeah, he's a stud. He's a stud. Their offensive line is always really good. I'm interested to see what the Eagles do this year without Jason Kelsey. Because the center, having a good center is a huge move, but having a good center with that type of leadership, that is going to be a definitely.
Starting point is 01:53:28 devastating blow for them. Yeah, that was so sad watching him walk off the field. Like, I know he had a great career, but it's like, man, it was, like, I'm not an Eagles fan, but I was like, man, that guy just seems, like, pretty cool. Yeah. Right. And good for the game. You got to, like, players like that.
Starting point is 01:53:42 Good for the game. That's a good way to put him to. Those iconic speeches, whether you get the inside look when he's talking to the team doing a team meeting or that iconic Super Bowl speech that he had after where he's wearing the whole fit. It was awesome. It had, like, a WWE promo. Hungry dogs run faster. It's crazy because it's just a football town, Philly.
Starting point is 01:54:03 Like they have other teams, but like you go to a restaurant there. They like hand you the check and they're like, go birds. Really? Yeah, it's a football town. They're a legit football town. Yeah, even playing them in preseason, you like run out and they're all booing you. And they're entertaining. It's the playoffs or something like that.
Starting point is 01:54:21 It's like, yo, the stars are playing three snaps this game. It'll be so serious for it. It's the most hostile environment to play. Which makes a fun. Is that number one anything? I think so, yeah. And what's two? Buffalo?
Starting point is 01:54:32 Probably. Do you think Buffalo's hostile? Yes, I do. I think Buffalo's hostile. Really? I don't feel like Buffalo's. I'm trying to think of no one on the West Coast. Cleveland's pretty hostile.
Starting point is 01:54:44 Yeah. No, but Seattle's loud. I don't think they're like aggressive towards the players. But I think Cleveland, I'm trying to think who else. Yeah. Is Sean Watson going to start again this year? it seems like it right
Starting point is 01:54:58 they paid him all that fucking money that was so cool when flacko was oh dude that was the best that was cool as shit Ravens yeah Ravens are a hostile yeah Baltimore that's a good group
Starting point is 01:55:11 they take after they always have a nasty D and like I remember all those years of Ray Lewis and Ed Reed and Sugs and Syragusa remember they had some studs they were always such a nasty defense I remember that year they beat the Giants
Starting point is 01:55:27 with 2000 and 2001 just an embarrassing Super Bowl It was like 41 to 7 or some I remember we had the one run Dixon run back And I was like that's all we got A special team's touchdown I know yeah We couldn't do shit
Starting point is 01:55:40 Ray Lewis is just like He was the MVP He's a beast He's scary individual Suggs too man He was just build different I played in my rookie year And he just handled me like a child
Starting point is 01:55:51 For four quarters It was just tough Strong quick Stirty, sturdy, sturdy. That boy had an ass on him. Yeah, you put a glass of water down. Yeah, he does. Yeah, he does.
Starting point is 01:56:01 On the top, I would just sit there, no problem. Yeah, I kind of, I wanted them to get over the hump last year. You know, it was just like a guy who would know real team in that game. I was kind of rooting for Jackson to get over the hump. Really? A little, I mean, my homes is incredible, but like, I don't know. I wanted the Niners to win last year. I was too just because Lamar also gets so much hate that it's like, oh,
Starting point is 01:56:25 okay, he gets to the playoffs, he's going to lose. And I do feel like they always have incredible regular seasons, and they just can't, for whatever reason, put it together in the playoffs. And everybody tries a finger point that it's Omar. So I kind of like root for him, too, and trying to get over that home. Well, just because why did he have to prove himself so many times? And Watson just gets that fucking bag. I hated that.
Starting point is 01:56:45 But, yeah, I think the Niners are a really cool team. I like that kid Purdy. I feel like he doesn't get his, he didn't, now people know he's really good. but I feel like for a long time to like There's some people out there and he wasn't that good. He's a stud.
Starting point is 01:56:59 He's a stud. No, I saw you said that too. I did see you saying that. I didn't see you saying that. I just picked that up. Yeah. Some people out there were saying
Starting point is 01:57:06 I was just a messenger but I actually publicly to Brock's face apologized. I'm full book. No, I saw the clip. It was awesome. I love that you did that. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:57:13 Because it was, that was a backlash. We got some boys on the Niners too that were like, what are you doing? Yeah. Like Christian McCaffrey was like, can we talk about you trying to be TMZ or something? Like what's going on? Well, you're fucking,
Starting point is 01:57:23 you're two dudes talking on the podcast. That's the problem is like, you talk enough, you're going to start saying some shit. Saying some shit. And all of my quarterback takes are wrong. Really? I think everyone I've had.
Starting point is 01:57:33 Who else were you wrong about it? There was Brock, and then I did something else. I forget who it was. You said CJ Straub, but that's more of an Ohio State thing. Yeah, well, yeah,
Starting point is 01:57:41 CJ Schro is the only Ohio State quarterback to ever do well. What do you think about Daniel Jones? Dude, I'm not in the Giants world enough. But just being on the outside looking in, like you let go somebody like Sequin, you're paying somebody over.
Starting point is 01:57:56 It seems like you're very much overpaying somebody like Daniel Jones. Oh, yeah. Way too many excuses for him. Oh, dude, it's... He got a neck on him, huh? He does not look scary. But if I had to play Devils, he does not. Is that really the face here?
Starting point is 01:58:09 Like, that guy's going to beat us. That guy's a killer. Yeah, he's coming to town this way. Although I guess Eli did not look like that dude either. He is physically, you know, he can run. But, like, it's weird because all the stereotypes people will say, of like a black quarterback. I feel like that's true about Daniel Jones.
Starting point is 01:58:25 Right. With it like he can just run. That's it. Just a good athlete. Yeah. Play some, you know, some shorter passes,
Starting point is 01:58:30 got that down. We can't handle the long ball. It does seem like your O line has been eviscerated. Dude. Last year, I had to like turn the games off half the time. So I'm like, I can't watch this.
Starting point is 01:58:40 It's like, it just feel, you know that scene in Casino Royale where they're just like throwing the shit in the Daniel, in the Daniel Craig's nuts? Yeah. For like, and you're like,
Starting point is 01:58:49 that's what it felt like watching him last year. It's like, They're just hammering him. And it was like, of course he got injured. Thank God he got injured. It was like, it was embarrassing.
Starting point is 01:58:59 And then fucking Tommy Cutlitz, this is what I have to watch. It was like a punchline. I'm like, I have to watch like an S&L character. That was the funniest thing. If I ever see this shit again, I'm going to kill myself.
Starting point is 01:59:10 I'll watch this shit on the Sopranos. I don't want to see it. That fucking agent, too. That guy was such a clown. He just looks like, like, he's a self-sucking agent. I hate,
Starting point is 01:59:20 you don't want an agent like that. No. You don't want to, it's like Levar Ball, remember that guy? No. Yeah. Oh, and LaVaral's dead. Yeah. You don't want that guy to be taking all the pressure.
Starting point is 01:59:30 You don't want him to take all the attention. And look at this guy. He wants it, though. It's like he has, he's written books. He's always trying to push his books. That dude gives a bad name for New Yorkers. And Italians. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:59:40 And fucking, I mean, I don't, what is it? Like, you clearly he's not, you're not going to have money left. No. That dude's spending your money. Yeah. Oh, that wire didn't come through, you know? I do see it at 20%. fee when it should be 3%.
Starting point is 01:59:53 Yeah. Because the quarterback DeVito got, he was getting shit on because he ended up charging some local spot higher than he usually does, right? But that was because of his agent. Trying to mark up the price. I think they were doing some signing, right? Correct, yeah. But he was getting shamed at a spot that he usually goes to.
Starting point is 02:00:11 Is that your agent from? Yeah, it sounds like it, right? Coniglios, a pizza restaurant in Morristown. Yeah, you can't fuck the people of Morristown. That is the funny thing about. about the Giants. They're like, don't you want to play in New York? And you're like, it's Jersey, dude.
Starting point is 02:00:27 Yeah. They all live in Jersey. I know, that is crazy. Because you do sell it as like you, you know, New York. But it's not New York. You feel you're gonna be in the city. I hate going to games. I don't wanna get in the fucking bus.
Starting point is 02:00:41 And then you take the train back with all these just pissed drunk goofballs. I hate it. I hate going to games. Do you, so you're not a big go to games guy? I used to go. I used to go, yeah, I'd rather watch it. I'm like Sunday, it's so much nicer to just have old Sunday at home and just eat things. Be on your couch, yeah.
Starting point is 02:00:58 The idea of going somewhere is great. The minute the event ends, you're like, why the fuck did I do this? I wanted to see the stones that met life. And then I was like looking at ways to get there. And I was like, I guess I'm just never going to see the stones. I'm good. The travel just makes you just, you know, miserable. I don't.
Starting point is 02:01:15 And I'm all down for the story, but like, what's the story? Some fucking drunk guy puked on the train ride back. It's not a good story. Yeah. I was at a game. My friend's dad somehow got tickets. They were like last row of the stadium. But it was Giants versus the Vikings NFC championship.
Starting point is 02:01:34 Kerry Collins just went on a heater and just started lighting up. It was like 41-0 Giants won. And I was in the nose leash for that. I was like, man, I was pretty fucking cool to be there. That's awesome. I kill you're just owning dudes. And oh, I love the Monty tumor. I love that those those receivers are pretty damn fun
Starting point is 02:01:53 that's did you enjoy Plexcobarus oh I love them dude gun go off yeah but before that he won us a Super Bowl that was the coolest catch ever what happened there he shot him so yeah I think he like you know I think the safety wasn't on yeah safety wasn't on he accidentally pulled the trigger I think he was maybe getting in or out of a vehicle
Starting point is 02:02:10 oh he was in a bar yeah you can't I think it was in sweatpants and I think it just all of it was like a dude All of it was like a dude who doesn't know how to handle a gun. Yeah. Like you should not be doing it. You got to know how to use a gun.
Starting point is 02:02:25 That is funny, man, that catch was fucking. I did not think the Giants were going to win that Super Bowl. Going in, I was like, maybe. Because once everyone picks the Patriots in the pregame, you're like, maybe we are going to win. Like, once everyone's so certain, because I knew the defense was sick. But then once Brady scored that final touchdown, I was like, fuck. I think that's my friends and I just poured some shots of whiskey and we downed them. We're like, we're fucking toast.
Starting point is 02:02:48 That's it. And then Eli did that David Tyree catch, which is the most insane. Not just the catch, but to get loose to throw it even. All of it. Rodney Harrison tackles him in the air, guy who's still probably feeling the effects of performance enhancing drugs. I love that he just cheats. And they're like, you can come back in five weeks, whatever it was. He still got the fucking strength.
Starting point is 02:03:09 Yeah. He still got the strength. He still got the juice in him. Man, I hated him. But you also, I remember this because I feel like, I don't know how it was up in the Northeast, but it felt like the Giants were more of like America's team like wanting to take down the juggernaut of the Patriots because everybody like in the Midwest
Starting point is 02:03:24 if you were like a Patriots day and you just fucking hate him because you're like you're just a frontrunner and you're ready for somebody to take them down because you don't want them to have a perfect season I feel like everybody was rooting for screaming hard for the Giants how about those fuckers who grow up
Starting point is 02:03:38 who are like who are your favorite teams the Yankees the dolphins we got one back there like that one's shaking his head the Chicago Bulls you're like what his favorite teams are the Chiefs, Ohio State. Yankees, right? I don't like baseball, basketball,
Starting point is 02:03:53 hockey. I just like, jeez. Yeah, but of those sports, if you were to pick teams, they would be the teams at one last. No, I like the predators. Like, he grew up. Yeah, who just got a bunch of good players
Starting point is 02:04:03 and they're actually going to be really good this year. They haven't played a game yet. This year they're going to be really good. But he grows up outside of Philly. He's not a Philly fan. Yeah, that's tough. Not a Penn State guy. I mean, it's tough because I have a friend like that.
Starting point is 02:04:16 He grew up in, the Bay Area and he's like he was like a Kobe Shack Lakers fan and then he just started rooting for the Warriors. I'm like so you just don't know pain is that your life? Yeah just moving on because you don't actually I mean part of it's a journey and you get to feel the highs and lows with these teams you get behind like there's no there's no joy without the suffering that's what being a real sports fan is I mean I people would make fun of me for being a Knicks fan so you know hardcore but I best memories of my life because it's It's not always about a championship.
Starting point is 02:04:49 It's about being a fan, you know? It's about following that team in, like, the 90s Knicks where they were just fucking badasses and Ewing and Oakley and Starks. Dude, I grew up in the world of fair weather fans. I grew up in Arizona. And that might be the most fair weather fan state of all time. But that's why? Because you had, like, an awesome Sun's team growing up.
Starting point is 02:05:09 Yeah, yeah. But everyone liked the Suns and they weren't good. Then people dipped. And then, what, 01, Diamondbacks, when the World Series, all of a sudden, everyone's wearing diamond back hats. How about that world? series. That was crazy. Unbelievable.
Starting point is 02:05:20 Luis Gonzalez, all that? Oh my God. That made me miserable because I thought the Yankees were going to steal it. Biongung Kim. This motherfucker just keeps giving us meatballs. I'm like, are we just going to keep rattling this guy? I mean, it's crazy. I remember the Yankees had that guy from Japan, Hadeki Arrabu, and he hung himself because of
Starting point is 02:05:38 the pressure in New York. I'm like, this is like some ancient samurai shit. He killed himself. He killed himself. He was bringing disgrace to his family. He's like, oh, fuck. I'm sorry, Mr. Steinbrenner. No, he hung himself.
Starting point is 02:05:54 It is a fair weather fan state, man. It is crazy. So all the pain you're talking about, I just don't. I don't know. I don't really watch sports growing up at all. Really? That's crazy to me that you're a professional athlete and you didn't watch it. Because there are comics growing up who were just like, yeah, I never watched comedy.
Starting point is 02:06:09 I'm like, you don't have like, you have no back, you just like telling jokes. Yeah. It was crazy to me. I talked to comics. You didn't know who Richard Pryor was. or Chris Rocks jokes or like you know David Tell any I'm like you don't know these guys and they just do comedy are they successful some of them yeah one of my friends who I'm actually like writing a show with was just like I don't like comedy I like the Simpsons and
Starting point is 02:06:32 South Park he's like he just like shows he didn't like stand up but he was a fucking great standup he still is the whole Simpsons thing I I don't understand why it's so popular like I know it's an epic show but like when I watch it I'm entertained but I'm not laughed like laughing my ass off not even from like the first 10 seasons dude first 10 seasons how long ago was that that's what that's what's sunday night football right yeah well i feel like that's that's weird if we go back in the podcast i wasn't watching sunday night football that's right that's right it just felt like you know the thing i know my old man like sunday night football get done simpsons come on around and you're just sitting around the couch old school simpsons was great i mean it was
Starting point is 02:07:10 the first 10 seasons are like my wife is obsessed with it i just yeah it's it's a good it's been on for too long it's been out for a long time but it's awesome that's been out and they what they're calling the future certain things you got to let die though i i think it's crazy to have a show go on for 35 years with the same cast you've run out of shit to do i mean south park south park true we're getting 25 years but they are at least doing other stuff too you know it seems like they're and i don't know a whole lot i do love south park i think it's really funny they they've been coming out with like our shows right and that kind of going over what's happened the last like 18 months and i love that i love those guys yeah i think the south park
Starting point is 02:07:47 movies like one of the best movies at all time didn't like like the movie came out when I was like eight years old and I thought it was so cool because it set a record for like curse words I was like yeah that's fucking awesome I know yeah could not tell your parents no you got that one friend you see who can get it for whatever reason who's the kid that always dies Kenny can't when Kenny goes to starts going to heaven all the boobs are there yeah yeah he goes to hell yeah I love it dude boy I've never seen this show Team America. It's really good.
Starting point is 02:08:18 You've never seen it. You've never seen that good. No. Oh, that's good. Everything they make is good, dude. Book of Mormon's great. You've seen basketball? Yeah, I love basketball.
Starting point is 02:08:26 Yeah, that's such an underrated sports movie. You want to know underrated sports movie? Have you seen Goon? I love Goon. Goon is the most inspirational sports movie in my mind. What happened? What happened? Sean William Scott.
Starting point is 02:08:37 He's fucking great. Why isn't he in stuff? I don't know. Role models. When he was in role models, I thought he was fantastic in that as well. Obviously, all the American Pyes, but this was so good.
Starting point is 02:08:46 Such a good. movie. Yeah, hockey movies. There's something about hockey movies, too, like Slapshots, epic. Something about, like, what you were talking about, how they're, like, badasses, but they're also like, there's like the team element, but they, it's such a weird combo, like graceful, but they'll fucking punch you in the face. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:09:03 It's such a weird. Yeah, I feel like they have their own jargon too. Yeah, they have their own the way they talk. But Goon, I know people think it's a joke, but when Doug, the thugg, Glack, goes in and talks to Rossiboss Ray in the diner. Yeah. And he has that thing about him laying him the fuck out. That's a goosebumps moment.
Starting point is 02:09:21 Yeah. And they have the standoff in the center ice at the end when they're both in the box and he knocks on the window. It says, you're ready kid. Yeah. And Doug's like, yes, thanks for asking. And they go out and just go to town. That's what I mean. It's like they're savages, but it's kind of classy.
Starting point is 02:09:34 Yeah. The way they're like, it's like, may I have this dance, but with breaking your face. Romantic. Yeah. Even movies that aren't like comedy. Like miracle. You pop that thing. That was great.
Starting point is 02:09:44 I watched that one like a week ago. Oh, have you seen this? What's that? Shorzy. No. This show. It's pretty good. It is elite.
Starting point is 02:09:51 Shut up. It is. I've seen. Didn't I, haven't I watched a couple of seasons? You watched a couple episodes with me. No, no, no, no. I went through.
Starting point is 02:09:57 What else? What other TV show? Isn't it just Shorzy? Shorzy and there's Leder Kendi as well. Okay. Yeah, I've seen Shorzie. I've seen two seasons of Shorzy. This show, the guy who created the show, his name is Jared Kizzo.
Starting point is 02:10:07 He, like, is a producer, writer, director of the show. And he's also the main character who's Shorzie. he started off doing Letterkenny that was a YouTube show before. I heard it's amazing. It's great, dude. Shoresy, I think, is I like it better than Letterkenny. And it's very hockey culture forward. This guy, you know, before every game shits, between every period shits.
Starting point is 02:10:27 It's a run-on sentence of jokes the whole time. It's just really good. Yeah, sports movies and shows are just kind of the best. Yeah. But you know what we are. Baseball ones, too. Like, you just can't miss with like Kevin Costner and, like, Bull Durham is so good. I love.
Starting point is 02:10:43 Bulldorm is a beautiful movie. That's such a funny movie. Field of the dreams. Yeah. A.M. Boys for the back of the bus, too. Taylor circled back around and remember the Titans. Yeah, I did. I've been going through a phase in life where I used to have a whole lot of opinions about movies.
Starting point is 02:10:56 Like Fury was one of them. And I remember watching Fury with Brad Pitt. Yeah, I never saw it. It's good. It's really good. But I saw in theaters and I walked away from the movie not liking it. And then all the boys got on me. I went and watched it.
Starting point is 02:11:08 I loved that movie. And then we watched Remember the Titans all through high school. because that was like the time and then I kind of got burnt out and I was like that movie kind of sucks and I rewatched it on a flight and I'm like this movie fucking rips it's like a song sometimes it's gotta hit you
Starting point is 02:11:22 at the right time or the right moment right I gotta be big enough to know when I was wrong Oh I love Major League I don't think I've even seen Major League Major League's fun dude It's that's a something about baseball You know what else
Starting point is 02:11:34 Baseball players are so superstitious too So there's so much fun shit you can do Like man I've been on like a weird baseball kick and just like old books I was just read like a Joe DiMaggio book. I mean like a Lou Gehrig book. It's something about that time in America. It was like it was just all baseball.
Starting point is 02:11:48 Yeah. And these guys were fucking crazy. I was reading this part about Joe DiMaggio where he, like he's like this proud Italian. So he hated the mob. But the mob loved him because Italians love DiMaggio. So they're at a restaurant one night and he's with like his friends and this like well-known gangster walks over to him. It was like, we'd like to pay our respects, Mr. DiMaggio. And he goes, you may pay your respect standing.
Starting point is 02:12:11 basically being like don't fucking sit with me no shit and his friends are like dude what are you doing you're gonna piss off the fucking mob but they were like oh thank you so much mr demageo so they like all came by one and just like shook his hand that is wild what a sign of respect I love how much of an encyclopedia you are with like sports dude you can tell he's such a massive sport yeah you start to recap on basketball and basketball and I kind of just sit and smile
Starting point is 02:12:31 yeah oh baseball this era was so cool he starts bringing up the players the dinobacks yankees oh this guy he's actually gorgeous yeah yeah well you're marilyn monroe you know he took down Maryland yeah they were married but then he he left her he left her because she couldn't procreate and you know Italians they need a fucking air
Starting point is 02:12:49 yeah need an air to the throne yeah so they but then he blamed Robert Kennedy for killing her Robert Kennedy yeah really why's that like he tells us more there's theories that he was there when she died like there was another voice on the camera
Starting point is 02:13:05 because John F Kennedy and RFK the rumors fucked her both They both did. Not, I don't think at the same time, but like, they passed her off. Yeah. You know, and really? And she at the end was on drugs and stuff. So he, like, never forgave Sinatra for introducing her to all these Italian, all these fucking iconic Italians.
Starting point is 02:13:26 He never forgave Sinatra for introducing Marilyn Monroe to the Kennedys. Because I think, you know, Sinatra was obsessed with political influence. So he was like, okay, you introduce her to them, like, in exchange, I get to know the, Kennedys. Yeah. You know. Get in more favor with them. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:13:44 That is a wild. Crazy. So he hated them. That is a fun story. That is a fun story. Dark shit, right? But he, and he like,
Starting point is 02:13:49 to the end was in love with Marilyn Monroe. Never remarried. Maybe, maybe we married at the end. I don't remember, but, but I,
Starting point is 02:13:56 no, he died not married, for sure. That time, I just feel like a lot of shenanigans went down. That is just a big rumor mill.
Starting point is 02:14:03 Like when we're 40 years from now, everyone's going to know everything that happened in 2024. You'll be able to fact check the You'll be able to fact-checked a lot more. But we get to sit and look back at these times and be like, I heard this. I heard that. Now there'll be a video to prove you wrong or right in 40 years about what happened.
Starting point is 02:14:19 Yeah. The old stories you just get to build up as legend. Yeah. Like Sinatra. I heard Sinatra's and it was an asshole. Manic depressive. Was he? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:14:28 I should know that I haven't tattooed on my body. Do you really? My name is a mugshot right there. Oh, shit. I didn't see that. I was got Maryland too and I don't know no shit about Maryland. What was the urge to get those? What's, I don't know.
Starting point is 02:14:39 I really don't. Was it like a drunk decision? Or you just were like, Tell you get something in his brain? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Most of my tattoos don't. Actually, I think like one or two tattoos even have meaning at all.
Starting point is 02:14:50 But I just thought Sinatra was pretty cool. I'm gonna get that. Maryland and Role, I'm gonna get that. I had Clint Eastwood from the good to bed, the ugly right here. Oh, that's a bad. I had Johnny Cash on my shoulder and Folsom Prison, giving the finger.
Starting point is 02:15:01 You got a lot of cool dudes on you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm hoping it rubs off eventually. You know? But yeah, I just, I have a stag on my chest. I've never shot a deer. I just got a bunch of shit, man. You got Eastwood, Sinatra.
Starting point is 02:15:13 Who's the other one? Monroe and Cash. Cash, that's cool. Yeah, thanks, man. You got it to yourself? No, I don't have any tattoos. Would you ever get any? Probably not.
Starting point is 02:15:22 I don't know why. There's that Jewish thing about you can't be in a Jewish. I'm not even religious, but as a kid, you never just have shit jammed in your head. Yeah. So I was just like, I don't want to. But I am turned down when I see a chick with a lot of tattoos because I'm like, I just made some bad decisions, you know. That was my thing in college.
Starting point is 02:15:38 She was covered a tattoo, smoking cigarettes. Maybe had gauges. Yeah. Oh, I don't like the gauges. You don't like the gauges? Those freak me out. Not like big boys. Oh,
Starting point is 02:15:46 like little ones. Yeah, fit a pencil through it. All right. No, it's not my thing. All right. You're a freaky little boy.
Starting point is 02:15:52 I got some, I got some shit to me. Gages? Yeah, I was kind of into those emo girls for a minute. You were kind of into MGK's all black arm tattoos too. No, I said for his body style, it fits. You like, you like, wait, what kind of girls? No, I liked.
Starting point is 02:16:07 they kind of like the emo like tattoos I like damage women I think I think when I sense damage I'm kind of like turned on yeah there's something to them you feel like you can fix them or help them a little bit I just assume they have more depth I think they're like I'm like she probably is interesting if she's damaged but then you get to meet him you're like no she's just a sad fucking miserable person that's a tough deal there's it doesn't mean there's more depth that just means they're unhappy and and you know toxic but I always I always attributed like wow she's she's miserable she must
Starting point is 02:16:37 fucking get it, dude. It was a mysterious thing for me. Yeah. What's different about them, man? But I was, I think a lot of people connect through pain. Because like, you're just like, someone's like, oh, I'm fucked up. You feel closer to them if they tell you how fucked up they are. Right.
Starting point is 02:16:51 It's like, you realize later, like, no, she just told it to everybody. She's just fucked up. Yeah. You know? Yeah. But in the moment, you're like, wow, she must like really feel connected to me. She's confiding in me. No, she doesn't want to spend money in a therapist.
Starting point is 02:17:02 She uses guys like me. Talk your off. Yeah. Don't sleep with you. Yeah. And you're like, I'll be bad. But I'll jerk off. I'll jerk off to that trauma later.
Starting point is 02:17:10 No, I'm going to put it right here and I'm fucking rub one out to how sad she is. Yeah, the tattoos always kind of got me for whatever reason. Just like a little, not too much,
Starting point is 02:17:19 but like a little bit, like a hint. No. Yeah, what's going on there? That is, that looks like, what do you call them though? That doesn't look like a tattoo
Starting point is 02:17:28 that looks like Anna? What is it? Anna? Like a fake tattoo? No, but like when people... No, when people have those like
Starting point is 02:17:37 things on their body that they can't I don't know what they're called skin tags that's what it looks like it doesn't look like an eagle on the thing I don't need a fuck a girl who looks like Connor McGregor you know it's too much this is ridiculous that's probably the sluttiest placement for a tattoo I don't yeah I don't care for it I remember I dated a girl she had her ex's signature tattooed on her back and I was like I mean ex's signature yeah I don't love that oh that's brutal yeah yeah we getting grouped I dated out a girl in high school and I got her initials tattooed on my side
Starting point is 02:18:16 and she came and visited me in college before she broke up with me and she had my initials tattooed right here yeah that was a tough L for her but she broke up with me property she has to date a dude with your initials yeah my initials are TCL too so tickle damn
Starting point is 02:18:34 nice little area oh she threw the middle initial in there too oh yeah it was a full my initials damn I saw her four years later, had the opportunity to see that area. Again. Yeah. You hooked up with her again. Come on, man.
Starting point is 02:18:48 Yeah, nice. Kind of out there. Thank you for noticing. Yeah. And she got it lasered off, but there was a faint, if you look close enough, a faint TCL. Right there. Her next boyfriend's going to break out a magnifying glass and be like, what the fuck? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:19:01 What is this? Yeah, I have her initials crossed out now and my wife's tattooed under. But I like shitty tattoos, too. I don't know what I'm talking to two guys that don't have any tattoos about tattoos. Yeah, what kind of shitty tattoo? It's just I think there's like if you have tribal. I think yeah, tribal. I have like tribal on my side that my wife took like this big like a gauge like this big
Starting point is 02:19:24 and put a red X through it and then put sick tribal bro. And I just think if you look at someone with all great tattoos, it's like there's no like, kind of like the girl that says she's fucked up. Like there's no damage there.

Starting point is 02:22:27 Darth Vader and he kills all the kids no the one where uh was it Rogue One was that the one yes that was fucking good oh yeah that was the only new one that was good the rest they you know my problem what these sequels are they're just telling the exact same fucking story telling the same story as Luke but with her right and I didn't like that she fucks up Adam driver's guy in the first one I'm like she she's been a Jedi for like two minutes she's fucking up the bad guy already I don't know I yeah I'm I think the new ones kind of like whatever but uh but like the old school ones are pretty good I gotta say do you see yourself siding with more like that older style of movies or do you like the newer ones better I love old movies
Starting point is 02:23:07 because when you have less options to do like a CGI type thing, you have to have a better script. I also think they just used to make more movies. Now it's like think about the landscape entertainment. You got TV shows. Like TV shows are better than movies now, you know? But like back in the day, like you look at like the movies from like the late 60s, early 70s and Hollywood, they're fucking insane.
Starting point is 02:23:30 Like so many classics. So yeah, I love I'm an old. I have like a movie room in my place. I have like, I'm an old school. I like watching. it like put everything away let's like actually take this in. I enjoy I love movies. I love sitting down
Starting point is 02:23:43 and watching movies but I hate when if you're in your living room and you sit and watch a movie with somebody and they're on their phone. I hate it. It bothers the shit of me for whatever reason. I'd rather you be on your phone while you're fucking me. Because at least then I'm still getting laid. You're ruining my enjoyment of the movie. You want to sit there
Starting point is 02:23:59 and whisper something. Maybe they ask you a question or there's some sort of dialogue in the middle of it where you guys are both invested into the storyline. Or if you're trying to kind of put them on the movie and you're just thinking like yo you are missing great dialogue and you see him on the side of your eye and you're just thinking you fucking bitch i'll tell you what a good moment was we went and saw on father's day we went and saw the new planet of the apes and i'm not well versed i maybe saw like the first one that came not pretty they're pretty good the ones they came
Starting point is 02:24:23 at the two dollars the new ones are really good and before will's like kind of putting me on the plots of what happens caesar he's gone now this is in the way future blah blah blah and it was nice both phones off big big thing of popcorn to share and some candy and he's like whispering it over over telling me small little things about like this the medallion he's wearing us because of x y and z because that was the house he used to look out of that's awesome yeah have you seen the kingdom of the new one i have and i heard it's great but you've seen the other two correct i see i saw the rise of the planet of the apes i'm trying to think which ones i've seen is that the one with uh james franco you saw that was good i like that and i saw most of the other one i they're on
Starting point is 02:25:00 tv all the time so just like check in yeah i don't think i've ever seen it start to finish but yeah the one with that actor who's really good that guy who played Jerry West on Showtime you know what I'm talking about? No, he's in Oppenheimer too You know what I'm talking? No, I don't know. I don't know his fucking name
Starting point is 02:25:17 but he's a really good actor. I like movies where they have a big budget but they actually have a good story too. I'm so sick of superhero movies. They serve their purpose. There's some great ones but like this one is like an actual like it's kind of interesting I think.
Starting point is 02:25:34 Dude the so the J. Franko one the house that the that James Franco and the and Caesar were in yeah the window that Caesar would look out yeah the the the way the window was designed was the medallion in kingdom of the planet of the ape so the callback because Caesar's kind of seen like he's kind of seen like what biblically he's like God yeah he's like Jesus in in this newer one but they have this sick callback and I'm like whispering over Taylor I'm hey so this dude he's got this necklace around like that was the window design back in the first one genre is a movie
Starting point is 02:26:05 what's your number one genre I like film noir I like a good detective movie or like a good or like a good thriller I like like man I love there's so many movies I like
Starting point is 02:26:17 but damn I'm trying to think like I love that age just like the 70s when it was like Prime Nicholson or like you know like certain movies at any time they're on I have to watch like for modern shit like
Starting point is 02:26:32 any Tarantino movie really or like Combrothers or like I love them but yeah like 70s yeah Chinatown rules I love Polanski's incredible I know he fucked a 15 year old but he's a damn fine filmmaker let's be incredible he's been a great actor yeah he shouldn't have done that but like I also just love like the history of this stuff so like I love that that this movie was supposed to have a happy ending but Polanski's uh wife Sharon Tate was murdered in the Manson murders and he was like no there's no happy endings here and he changed the ending and like worked. I love that.
Starting point is 02:27:03 Because he believed that shit. So, yeah, I love those movies. Godfather's amazing. That whole dog day afternoon, like, that movie fucks me up. I think it's like, perfect, you know. I love those. We should do that little tier talk. I used to have a joke, I used to have a joke about it about it.
Starting point is 02:27:16 About dog day afternoon. I used to have a bit about it because I was watching what the girl was dating and she tried to fuck me during the movie. And I was like, what are you doing? And she goes, oh, you don't want to have sex with me. And I was like, I'll fuck you during a movie you pick. You know? I want you to see this movie because it's important.
Starting point is 02:27:32 I'm sharing you with this movie. You know what? This isn't going to work. Yeah. Sorry, I cut you guys off on something. No, I love the fact that you're just diving into the things you love.
Starting point is 02:27:41 That's beautiful. Tier talk. Tier talk, the idea of tier talk we were going to do, it's a tier system. You start at three, you work all the way up to one. And every one that you choose, there's got to be a rhyme or reason.
Starting point is 02:27:54 You give a good description of why it is in your top three. Okay. The idea we had was to do, what was it, true detective? Like detective movies It makes me kind of nervous Because he's so well versed He knows his shit
Starting point is 02:28:06 Yeah he knows his shit Yeah And I'll be honest You there's a lot of good ones Yeah we usually take a few minutes To figure out what our list is So you start at three I can give an honorable
Starting point is 02:28:14 Detective movies Three detective movies Okay Damn So it's Can it be like a murder mystery It has to be a detective Murder mystery
Starting point is 02:28:22 Murder mystery is good Okay Yeah Any type of noir All right If there's any type of noir I don't want to hit you With only ones
Starting point is 02:28:29 from like the 40s or 50s but I have a weird heart on for that error because... You can do that absolutely. We'll just smile and nod. Yeah. Oh, wow, no shit. This is your truth. I feel like everyone naturally is.
Starting point is 02:28:39 I'm a little nervous too. This is a judgment-free zone, dude. You like what you like, and I'm excited. I'm excited to hear it. All right. I would say my tier three. So this is your least favorite of the three. Of the three.
Starting point is 02:28:56 Top three. Third place. My third place is going to be... Hold on. One thing about tear talk, you should know, is we keep completely silent until he's finished. And then we all go around the room and give a one word to describe how we feel about that person's list. Okay. Go on.
Starting point is 02:29:17 All right. My tier three. Gone girl. That would count, yeah? Boys in the back. That way that would. Shirm, that's good. That's good to go on.
Starting point is 02:29:29 All right. All right. That's my tier three. Love Gone Girl. Saw it in theaters. I've watched it a few more times since. then. I'm a big fan of that movie. My tier two,
Starting point is 02:29:41 prisoners. With Jake Jalenhall. Hugh Jackman, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And my tier one is going to be Knives out. Big fan of Knives out. Saw it on Christmas when I was out with the Oakland Raiders. when charl came out proposed her that week as well it was a big kind of week for us but knives out we really we thoroughly enjoyed uh that is my tear talk
Starting point is 02:30:14 you're standing on business sam go and give us one word good close what you got glass onion business fire all right oh fuck this is jared's first day You're not going to like mine either. Basic. Yeah, I did feel basic. I like those movies, though, a lot. But yeah,
Starting point is 02:30:49 knives out of one is. That one's, I don't know. I thought it was one word. That was like a whole explanation. I mean, sometimes. Sometimes the boys get nervous around Will. All right.
Starting point is 02:31:05 I have a very rare two honorable mentions. One of those honorable mentions, is Knives Out. I think it's a phenomenal movie. The layers, the depth, I don't even, the guy who played James Bond,
Starting point is 02:31:18 I don't even know his name, comes in, he knows who the killer is the entire time just because of one little splat on the shoe. But yet you go through the entire plot, I think it's phenomenal. I hate to interrupt you. May I throw out an honorable mention?
Starting point is 02:31:29 No. Seven. You ever seen seven? A great movie. He went two of the same director. He went out with him. What's that? Gang girl and seven.
Starting point is 02:31:38 Oh, is the same person? Same director. I almost went glass onion in there. with knives out. Another honorable mention I have is the nice guys. With Russell Crow and Ryan Gosling. That movie I love. It's one of my favorites.
Starting point is 02:31:53 That type of humor where it's like he's a drunk, but he stumbles upon the answer somehow. Like, it's just a really well done movie. Russell Crow at first doesn't like Gosling. They actually don't like each other the whole entire movie. But they end up working together. I think it's just a, it's a movie that makes you smile and everyone who listens to the show knows like I have a lot.
Starting point is 02:32:11 like a weird thing to the 70s. I've watched it like 12 times. It's a phenomenal movie. And I love how you're breaking the rule. You're breaking the rules and not say anything. But all the words of affirmation that we talked about earlier, you've filled me. All right. No ditty.
Starting point is 02:32:23 My tier three is going to go to Shutter Island with Leonardo DiCaprio. That movie, like we just, I feel like when we talk about these types of movies, literally Googling what New Or, is that you pronounce it? Googling what that means before we started this, like, it just seems like these are movies with like certain levels of depth. There are certain levels of, of layers that you have to get through. And that movie is incredible for a lot of reasons, but especially the ending.
Starting point is 02:32:48 Where the last couple of lines that Leonardo DiCaprio has where you're like, does he get it? Does he not? And it's just like, then he walks off and it's over. I think it's such a beautiful ending to a movie. Poetic. It is. My tier two is going to go to one of my favorite directors, Quentin Tarantino. That's Reservoir Dogs.
Starting point is 02:33:06 I think that's a great movie. We all know that movie. It is a phenomenal. film, a phenomenal film. And then my tier one is actually prisoners. I think prisoners, that movie is so good. The plot twist at the end,
Starting point is 02:33:23 it's just awesome. It's just awesome. And that is my very rare double unrule mention to your talk. Unoriginal. Well versed. I like the range. I broke the rules here.
Starting point is 02:34:03 the range of the picks range range range front loaded that hyphenated above average not what I expected I what I expect you guys love prisoners I do I think that movie so good I think it's awesome I actually just watched it like in November because I was flying Australia and it was on I was I was more emotional when I watched it because because of the flight I was like I'm gonna have to get I'm gonna have to knock myself out after this movie. So I was drinking wine and I popped the muscle relaxer. So I was like extra like, oh my God, just sitting watching this. Like this is such a fuck that movie to feel relaxed for.
Starting point is 02:34:55 You know? Because it's so dark. So dark. But it's really, man, he's, I feel like he does a lot of like song and dance type stuff when he's not Wolverine. So it's cool to see him play like a pure just heavy. Right. And that neck tattoo on Jelen Hall.
Starting point is 02:35:10 Holy shit. It's a great movie. The what? The what? The name you fell it away. Oh, yeah, that too did it. Yeah. Yeah, he's really good.
Starting point is 02:35:20 Yeah, he's awesome. Yeah. Yeah, the scene in the bathroom, too, is... I don't think of ever done anyone pronounce his name right. That's why I was like, oh, shit. It took me a cold search. Yeah. I take it prisoners is not going to be in your list?
Starting point is 02:35:32 No, but I like it. I don't know. I'm old school, so all right. I've never seen nice guys. Nice guys. It sounds like I need to watch that. It sounds like I need to watch that. Shane Black who wrote Lethal weapon.
Starting point is 02:35:41 That guy he wrote and directed this. He also did another one called Kiss Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang. That's also hilarious. Solid. I love the title. I'll never seen it. Solid. It's like, if you like Nice Guys, you'll like kiss, kiss,
Starting point is 02:35:51 bang, bang. It's like that type of vibe, but it's, it's Downey Jr. And Val Kilmer as like the two guys who can't get along. It's fucking great. But it's similar the way they act towards each other. Yeah. It's like, because that's like a buddy comedy and a noir and one.
Starting point is 02:36:03 I fucking love that. I love, nice guys makes me laugh so hard, dude. It's awesome. I saw in the theater with my ex-girlfriend and my mom, and they both were like, and I was like, you're fucking ruining this for me. This is a good movie. Pretend.
Starting point is 02:36:15 Pretend. You take your movie watching very serious. I mean, I just, I would never want to influence someone else's. I remember seeing a movie with an XMI once and she hated it so much that I was like, do you want to walk out? And she goes, no. I'm like, well, I feel how angry you are. So you're, I know that you hate this movie.
Starting point is 02:36:38 It's funny. My friend's in the movie. You know Simon Rack? No. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Who? He's in a movie called Red Rocket.
Starting point is 02:36:46 It's a really good movie, but she hated it so much because he's such a fucking horrible person in this. He plays just like a guy who's grooming a minor. It's a dark movie. Shane actually, go ahead. Sorry, sorry. Oh, and I, yeah, Shane is friends with him too. But I love Simon, and he's amazing in this movie.
Starting point is 02:37:04 And I remember, she was just like, oh, I hate this. And I was like, why don't we leave? And she goes, well, then you're just going to finish it. without me sometime. I'm like, that's not allowed. Yeah, that's crazy. So she was pissed. So then, she was like, no, let's stay.
Starting point is 02:37:16 And I was like, all right. And at the end she was like, oh, I hated that. And I was like, okay. She's like, you liked it? And I'm like, is this worth a fight in my head? Yeah. I'm like, do I stand up for my beliefs? And you're damn right, I did.
Starting point is 02:37:28 I ruined a vacation with an argument over a movie that doesn't matter. But I did it. Stood on business. I stood on business. I thought you were to bend the knee for sure. No. So Simon Rex, Shane sent. me an incredible fart by Simon Rice.
Starting point is 02:37:43 It's amazing that he's like this great actor, but he will voice memo farts. What the fuck? That's not real. It's not over. That's a good dirt magis. No way. Oh my God.
Starting point is 02:38:14 Dude, that was like a Godfather three level fart. What the hell? Dude, his surprise. That was like, that was like Mariah Carey holding a note. Oh my. That was insane. Was that one of the best parts you've ever heard? He's legit.
Starting point is 02:38:31 Had so many different noises. No way. I love Simon. I love to do. All right. I'm going to go. So I'm going to hit you with Honorable Mention. I'm going to hit you with honorable mention Chinatown.
Starting point is 02:38:46 Just because like it's slow. It's a 70s movie. You just got to know that going in. But like, dude, it's prime Jack Nicholson just being a badass. Faye Dunaway is really hot in it It's it's classic Yeah it's I mean it's a it's a dark ass Neonois got to love it
Starting point is 02:39:03 I want to see ones that you guys didn't mention So I'll say three Two You're gonna hate me for these I will you know what fuck it Tier 3 Fargo I you should see it It's great That's a great fucking movie
Starting point is 02:39:21 Love the Combrothers Lobowski's kind of a noir too It's that. Lobowski, a lot of people don't know this, is actually the big sleep with like Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. So that's like an old noir that Raymond Chandler wrote. That's that's the big Lobowski. They just made it about a fucking burnout instead of a cool detective.
Starting point is 02:39:42 So that's that's, but yeah, Fargo's killer. Two, I'm going this. It's an old movie. It's called Out of the Past with Robert Mitchum, who's like the ultimate badass, you know. Just a really cool movie about a guy who. lived a bad life and was like a kind of a henchman for Kirk Douglas and he was uh and then he's trying to get away from that life works at a gas station one of the goons sees him working the gas station he thought he got away and he gets drawn back into that life it's an awesome movie and tier
Starting point is 02:40:15 one and this could easily be tier one the other way tier one is another really old one but stay with me these movies hold the fuck up double indemnity it's Edward G. Robinson, Fred McMurray, Barbara Stanwick, who's like an evil, evil, she basically convinces an insurance salesman to murder her husband and like how they can get away with it and get the most possible money is double indemnity. So if he is the most, she buys life insurance on his life. And if he has this really improbable death, you get double indemnity. So if he dies by falling off of a train, so they have to kill him first and then throw him off a train to make it look like he does. but there's this one Edward G. Robinson, this one insurance guy who's like, something doesn't sit right about this with me.
Starting point is 02:41:01 It's really fucking good. It's like a 90-minute movie, not a wasted word. One of the best, one of the best movies ever seen. I just saw it. It was playing in a movie theater in New York City, like one of those old movie theaters. Fucking beautiful experience. But my girlfriend and a friend of mine, they were both like, damn, that was pretty damn good. And it's getting laughs because it's like those 1940s, how men would
Starting point is 02:41:25 talk to women laugh where she's like oh i'm scared and he goes baby shut up like just getting huge pops in the theater it's really it's but it's really witty and funny dialogue too like you you'd watch it and be like damn this is well done so yeah those are that's my list right there clueless nice classic cultured authentic you guys are such bitches dude you guys want to do twisted uh twisted question you got one mitch yeah buckle up this a twisted question brought to us by twisted tea refreshing cold zero carbonation so it goes down smooth perfect for tailgates it's 5% ABV 5% alcohol it's great for any occasion whether you're at home watching games watching the giants tailgating in a parking lot watching at a bar

Mitch, what is our twisted question for Sam? This comes from Brandon Peck, BPEC 16 on Instagram. If you could only eat one food from one culture for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Starting point is 02:42:46 Can I speak sandwiches? Pizza. No, it's like a, that's not culture. That's just a type of food. What you mean? Like Japanese, Mexican, American, Chinese, Chinese. You could say like Vietnamese sandwiches, which is actually, that's a good. call.

Starting point is 02:43:35 All right. It's real life still. Just the genre. But there's healthy foods in every, in every culture probably, right? Yeah. Yeah. Is there a healthy Italian food? No.
Starting point is 02:43:48 I think I'm in the minority of I'm not a huge fan of Italian. Oh, you got to go to Italy, bro. I'm not a huge fan. You always got that. You always get that dude that, that, uh, that friend that's been to Italy that's like you gotta go to Italy and try their food trust me dude well you eat what you hear when I go to Italy I don't even gain a pound I eat bread every single day those guys yes yeah but you're also you're walking everywhere
Starting point is 02:44:11 that's why yeah that's what they're like I didn't gain a pound you walked eight miles to do anything every day yeah it's that or a vestibus food oh I love Italian food I love Italian food every I know I'm in a very small minority in that yeah I'm just not not just not a huge fan of Italian food what would I do Let me go... American. I might go Greek, dude, because that's healthy. You have options that are really good,
Starting point is 02:44:41 but then you also are like, I could eat Mediterranean diet. Those dudes live forever. You see old men and those Greek islands. They're like tan and 92 years old and so like climbing hills and shit. Yeah. And you can have like grilled octopus all the time. That shit's so good. You get have a kebab.
Starting point is 02:44:59 You bring up a very good point with Mediterranean. It's heart healthy, dude. Yeah. Heart healthy. Look at the facial hair on that guy. But that dude's probably 102. Look at him. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:45:11 He's living well. And they have that good Greek liquor, too, that like, Mastika. You have a little after-dinner drink. You feel it digest. It's nice shit. It's nice shit. You don't like this.
Starting point is 02:45:22 Nice shit. No, I went there last year, and I was like, I never take vacations. I never take time off. And I was, like, in London. And doing a gig. my girlfriend's like please can we just take some time off so we went to greece great great food great time are you a game of thrones fan i've never seen an episode because they got a lot of
Starting point is 02:45:41 they shot a lot of it out there in greece i'm trying to get out there and see it see it the castles yeah that is that your top show man the last season was not the greatest i would say breaking bad is my number one show that's a great one but game of thrones is up there like now i'm watching house of dragon incredible show i should watch game of thrones i'm such a bitch i should really I'm told you should watch House of Dragons first though. Really? Yeah, because it's before. But it's not all the way down.
Starting point is 02:46:07 Like, it's current. It's in season two right now. But yeah, dude, the way, as much of a film junkie as you are, you would love Game of Thrones. I've heard that. You would love Game of Thrones. Tom is the last season of everyone's like, you haven't seen it, and then every week they'd be like,
Starting point is 02:46:21 what the fuck? This episode sucked. But here's where you're in a good spot. You get to binge it all in succession right away. The problem was we watched all seven seasons, Right. And the eighth season took two years. And since the book wasn't written, they kind of just, you know, put some more Hollywood into it. But the spot that you're in, you get to watch it all back to back. Because we're sitting there in those two years. I remember being at Vandy every day doing workouts talking with Rex about what, hey, what was on this message board? What could this callback be? You're building all these different moments in your head. So it was just a big letdown when season eight finally happened. But you're in a good spot because you just get to watch it all. And you'll probably enjoy it. Because people who waited until after it all came out and then why. watch it they've all they've all really liked it but you would fuck with Game of Thrones heavy and then you'll probably go back to Greece I'm in the same boat as you I've only
Starting point is 02:47:10 seen like one episode like two episodes and there were so many storylines everyone's so far ahead of me I was like I it's just not worth it's such a massive chess game into it yeah it's fun I think it's so worth it that's how I felt about the wire early on it took me I'm like wow there's a lot going on but it ends up being rewarding as hell I was gonna say the wire's like a top 10 TV show I love it I've never seen that it's really good And that's how, like, Game of Thrones is like that. You've got to kind of give it a good two full seasons. I got to watch this.
Starting point is 02:47:37 I feel like an idiot for messing. Yeah, you'd mess with it. And then you got House of Dragons kind of dated like a century before Game of Thrones. But that's really good. Sure, can you pop up some food genres for me? Can I piss real quick? Absolutely. Whatever you want.
Starting point is 02:47:54 Yeah, do what you got to do. I'm dying. I might just go Italian so I can just have pizza. You eat pizza every day. Yeah, but... There's more than just pizza. Yeah, but he's saying, I want to go Italian so I can have pizza. Just so it's an option.
Starting point is 02:48:12 Right. Just so I have that as an option. It's like if I got to eat one thing for the rest of my life, if I'm trying to be happy, I think I'm going to go Italian. Chinese you get old with very fast, even though it's a great once a month. Yeah, but Japanese. Japanese. Japanese is where I keep going in my head.
Starting point is 02:48:30 Japanese is solid. Yeah, you get some. sushi that would be a great pool yeah japanese would be a great pool what would be the word for that like the food categories of like a culture genres food genres genres genres genres food culture genres culinary and you got to see nice guys you've got to see nice guys no i i i feel that way when he's like 15 times and you the way you talk about it i'm upset as to hire my list honestly dude i just felt so because every one of those movies i've only seen you see it like it's one of those it's one of those areas where you just kind of
Starting point is 02:49:06 watch the movie one time so it's i can't sit there and recall all the things that were happening because i remember i remember our prisoners made me feel yeah i'm going knives out japanese cuisine oh look you get how you get french fries how you get that french oh french to the name i thought that was it part of the japanese Italian yeah i think i think i'm going he brought up a good with Spanish too, dude. I love me some Mexican food. That's probably what I'm going to go to Spanish.
Starting point is 02:49:39 Mexican food. Those two are different. Yeah. Oh, they're different? Spanish and Mexican are two different. I'll go Mexican then. Spanish is like tacos. Yeah, that's not going to fill my belly.
Starting point is 02:49:52 I need that. You go fajitas when you want to be healthy. You can get in feeling a nasty. Get those enchiladas. Man, Mexican is a great call. That's how I'm going to Mexican. Called it. You can't take it.
Starting point is 02:50:02 I'm going Mexican, too. Indian is a sleeper. Do you all like Indian? Indian food? Indian food I like, but again, to me, it mixes more on the Chinese, but a step below. Yeah. No. For me.
Starting point is 02:50:13 I think Indians better than Chinese, but I see what you mean. Like some chicken teke and marcella? Come on now. Or some in the non? I'll get you on some lamb vandulu. Spicy lamb. You want a spot you need to check out is hawkers. Have you eaten there yet, Shirm?
Starting point is 02:50:37 No. You need to get hawkers. The street food. So good. I think we settled on, I'm going Italian, so that we have the option of eating pizza. That's big. I'm going Mexican. If I'm going to eat it for the rest of my life.
Starting point is 02:50:50 Damn, Mexican's a good call. I know, I thought so too. Fuck. Because you can be kind of healthy with Mexican, too. You can be kind of healthy with Mexicans. Or even if you want to mix the... Tacos. Tacos.
Starting point is 02:51:01 Cases. Beredo bowls. Cheese crisps. Bottomless chips and salsa. I think I'm going Mexican. Damn. Sorry, I want to join you. You brought up a good point.
Starting point is 02:51:11 I'm staying Greek. Part of me was going to, it's like, yeah, if you want to live long. I just like, I love, uh, you get a lot of options with the Greeks. I feel like there's a lot of diversity with that type of menu. Greek salads. I'm not, I'm not a cultured man. I don't think. Salads, euros.
Starting point is 02:51:26 What else? Yeah, that might be it. I might be fucked. All right, maybe I might go Mexican. Mexican's good. And the good news is if all of us picking that genre, we all get to eat together every day. That's true. Like, everyone's got to go to their specific.
Starting point is 02:51:38 spots we get to sit at the lunch table together mexican is like probably what i eat the most actually so good yeah so good and to me mexican is also like uh an easy default like if you don't know you can just easily go like we hit poncho lefties all the time boom but you can just you can get yeah bro guac casso salsa different kinds of sauces yeah so Mitch street corn come on dude margaritas yeah strawberry margarino Damn, does this go to the liquor too? You can only have... He said, Dan, does this go to liquor too?
Starting point is 02:52:13 Well, Mexican beer is pretty good. Yeah, and tequila. Yeah, tequila's nice. I'm a big tequila, yeah. Is that your go-to drink? If I'm... Yeah, absolutely. Nice.
Starting point is 02:52:23 You go clear or the... Yeah, I go Blanco. I go tequila with water and lime. That's all I want. Is mescal? I like mescal, yeah. Yeah, dude, mescal is, but I don't like mescal. It's like smoky and things like gasoline.

So I like... like like smote mezcal is fucking nice i think put a little orange peel on there what's the scotch that had uh with the blue it's like literally in the name blue label blue label that's what yes that's a waste of money my rookie year i went and got it because i thought i was like you know the man now yeah and i had like poured one glass and i had one set but i was
Starting point is 02:52:57 like this shit is disgusting i still have it it's whatever yeah it's the blue label is that what is that johnny walker i've only had it once yeah i think so it sounds right that sounds right black label Yeah, black labels, you're fine with black label. That shit's gray. I don't know the difference. Or red label, yeah. But dude, I remember Michael Che at a house party once, and we're there. And Mark Norman and I roll in and we're fucking hammered.
Starting point is 02:53:18 And Michael, like, you know, showing off, pulls out blue label and pours it for us. And I was like, dude, this is so, not only do we not know, but we're fucking bomb. We're not going to know what this shit tastes like. Like, I'll drink the cheapest shit. Yeah, dude. That shit. And gin, too. I don't like gin at all.
Starting point is 02:53:34 Oh, I love gin. Really? You don't like a martini? No, I like the idea of a martini. Dude. I'm with you on that. Charles loves martini. Like, what is it?

Starting point is 02:53:56 Espresso is kind of nice, though, actually. The espresso... Those are kind of good. Apples fucking whatever. That's like for a hot chick or something. But like, espresso martinis are solid. If you got a suit on and you have a martini in your hand, you look, you're 10 times cooler than you actually are. You look like Roger Sterling from Mad Men.
Starting point is 02:54:12 You look cool as fuck. Exactly. If I knew that reference, I would 100% agree with you. Oh, that's a cool. That's a good show. This man's an encyclopedia with literally every subject. What's your favorite scotch or whiskey? My favorite scotch is Lagovolent.
Starting point is 02:54:24 If price hand issue, logavolin, if it is, I mean, I'll drink. I will drink anything. I'm fine. I'm not like, I came up at the open mics being like, oh, well, drinks are free great and I still feel it I feel the same way with coffee like if you give me a good cup I'll I'll be like oh this good but I drank gas station coffee forever and I liked it and I still like it that mud that boulders something about like going on a road trip and just pulling into that gas station just knowing you're going to get a big big cup of coffee big styrofoam

Starting point is 03:01:04 Yeah we were with him at that game and you thought his whole family died in the car accident That's how I am with the Knicks I'm fucking yeah I like I was in such a bad mood when all the injuries started to pile up. I was just like, it was affecting my sets. I rolled into a set at the cellar like in a really bad mood in my dumb fucking Nick's outfit from the game.
Starting point is 03:01:27 And then I was just like, they're like, what the fuck? I'm like, they lost. That's what the fuck. Yeah. You know? That fandom, man, you're talking about, it just makes you a man. Yeah, I just love watching. any of the major sports
Starting point is 03:01:41 but yeah I'm into it I even like ones I don't know about like I don't know tennis or soccer that well but if there's a good game on I fucking love it you know the rules of soccer not well I mean either I want it kind of like it but I just can't I've been watching the last couple weeks for the Euro Cup
Starting point is 03:01:57 and everything I was like that was pretty fun yeah I mean they're just so into it and I don't know they're all you realize you're watching such a high level so even though I don't know shit I'm kind of like this pretty entertaining And then you see that video circulating where the fans are like climbing through the vents to try and get in the game. Fucking just psychos. It's a different world.
Starting point is 03:02:14 It's a different game. What's going to be here for the World Cup coming up? Yeah. We're not, I don't think we're equipped for that. We'll find out. We'll find out. Yeah, we'll find out.
Starting point is 03:02:23 I saw that Beckham documentary on Netflix. So good, right. Insane. And just seeing how much. And I knew nothing about it. Nothing. And like I was a kid during that time and watching how much he like basically controlled style for so long. He'd get a hair.
Starting point is 03:02:37 cut now all the kids had the haircuts they just lived and breathed what he did everything he did spice girls all that it was awesome you should see yeah i started at because it's a series right yeah i watched like the first episode it's really another one i just started was that uh fetterer one i haven't seen that oh yeah yeah it's it's been it's been dope so far but yeah he's any of any of those docks dude it's like when the the lance armstrong all the what was that one called that made me like him way more yeah yeah yeah because you just kind of own you realize and you realize too that was doing it. He just found the better way. Yeah, everyone's cheating. Obviously not the better way. He got caught.
Starting point is 03:03:13 Yeah. Well, I'm just saying, like, as he was, like, dusting people, because everybody was trying to out him. But he raised a lot of money for cancer, too. Yeah. I mean, he did some good shit while he's cheating. While he was cheating. We got anything else? I don't think so. Boys in the back? I was going to say you are, you're more than welcome to participate in the beer games next year. All right. Who's my partner, Norman? If you want me to be? Absolutely. It's rowdy. It's crazy. It's rowdy. Yeah.
Starting point is 03:03:41 You see that clip again. Yeah. Did you see that clip where Taylor, hey, that bullet was flowing. Yeah, I had to bring it back, man. You had a mullet for this? I had a mullet for this? Yeah. This one was not this past year, but the year before or last year.
Starting point is 03:03:51 It is awesome. And so you start off with a 36-ounce beer chug for time. Like you and Mark would drink and then whatever your times were added together. And that would cause seating just for then flip cup, then beer pong, then beer ball, and then a championship beer pong round. So one of us could be a sick chugger and the other one fucks us. and now we're playing like that plays into that bad at but you could be a great chugger and not good at like beer pong and other stuff exactly i see that i see where this gets complicated yeah and the more the better you do in the early rounds you get more drunk but the people that maybe not be as good
Starting point is 03:04:23 they're more sober so it all kind of equals itself out as you go like farther down the line what about are the people enforcing the lean in beer pong we had a whole there's there a lot of referees me we did we did a comedy seller it was my idea of comedy seller party one year where uh I put out there, I was like, they do a really good job with the party. They get like Popeye's fried chicken. They get like sandwiches. It's a great, great catering. And obviously it's open bar.
Starting point is 03:04:52 We're all getting fucked up. But I said one year to Liz, the manager, I was like, I'd like a beer pong table at the party this year. And she goes, I'll do you and better. I'm getting two. Turned into a huge thing. Everyone's, you know, fighting. But I remember, forgot who was on my team, but I know it was against Mo Amher, the comedian and he's a fucking leaner.
Starting point is 03:05:13 He was, calling elbows the whole time. Oh my God, just leaning on and we were just kind of like, dude, you're leaning is like, this is fine, but I'm like, I don't want to, I don't want to be leaning too. It ruins the, it fucks up the curve. It ruins the game. I'm talking about this like a, like a purist.
Starting point is 03:05:28 Hey, you'll be embarrassed next year. You'll fit right here. I sound like a racist when black people started playing basketball. This is not how it's supposed to be played. You'll have a lot of fun at this. Yeah. David Boktiari, he's a tackle. He is very similar to kind of how you're talking right now.
Starting point is 03:05:45 Like every rule has to be followed to a tea. He finds the edges and the rules. It's a good time. Well, the first scene of the movie with me and Mark is we're playing beer pong. Yeah? I love when you combine sports and alcohol. I think it's great. It's a classic wholesome game too.
Starting point is 03:05:59 Is that your favorite? What's your favorite drinking game? Yeah, I would say probably beer pong, yeah. I'm a chug guy, though. Like, I'm pretty good at games, but that's my, like, Oh, he can chug. Yeah. Damn.
Starting point is 03:06:12 Best chugger I've ever seen. I beat Julian Edelman in a chugging contest on everything, but it was water because he'd shoot the next day. God. I bet it felt good still no matter what. Yeah. The chug is that that's my thing for sure. I like, uh, I mean, beer pong's awesome.
Starting point is 03:06:27 I also really enjoy beer ball. Beer ball's bar. And beer dye. What's beer die? Beer die is like, it's more of like a subjective line. You have to like toss a dye above this line that you're all kind of like, you know, it's like elbows, gentleman's game. You're tossed the beer.
Starting point is 03:06:40 die up and you're trying to land it in the cup but if it hits a table and like you fumble it at all it's a point if it hits the ground i think it's two points if it gets in the cup i think it's three points but it's just a great it's just a great competitive game to where it involves some skill it's like you got to be good at catching the die you can only catch it with one hand you can't use a supportive hand damn you play beer ball before i never played it no beer the only ones i know it flip cup and beer pong beer ball is a a can of beer on all four corners and so will and i are partners will throws the ball. If the ball hits a can, between the time that they retrieve the ball and bring it back to the table, I crack my beer and drink it as fast as I can. And then it's whoever finishes
Starting point is 03:07:19 both the beers first. I like it. Yeah. Did you come up with this one? Or is this? No, this has been around for a while. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know that one. It looks, it looks fun. And then, uh, well, how big is the ball we're talking? Ping pong ball. Yeah, ping ball. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. But I, I, I just think beer pong is just such a classic. Everybody's played at one point in their life. It's just a fun game. I remember I was a kid playing beer pong, like underage drinking in New York, just fake ID and the whole thing. And I don't know how it happened, but I got too drunk and I was talking shit to some big guy, random dude in the bar. And I don't know, like, it wasn't affecting
Starting point is 03:07:57 him my shit talking. And I was like trying to get a rise at him. I was annoyed. So after he beat me, I just took one of the empty cups and threw it at him. And he still kind of like laughing off. And I threw another one at him. And then I was so drunk, I picked up the water. cup and beamed him with it. Yeah. And he just looked at me and I was like, there's a big fucking dude. And he just walked over me. My friend went out for a cigarette and all I remember my friend
Starting point is 03:08:16 he was looking at the dude and he just saw the guy holding me by the throat against the bar and he's like, shit, we should get the fuck out of here. Just with two fingers, just hold me like that and I was like I'm surprised it took him that long. I know. I deserved it. Great composure. I was
Starting point is 03:08:30 great composure. I deserved to get the shit kicked out of me and he had restraint. But like, dude, those nights of The bar just getting fucked up playing beer pong. Those are fun. It's a fun fuck-up, but that next day, you just get the worst night's sleep because you're pissing all night.
Starting point is 03:08:48 Maybe for you, man. You got that acorn bladder. I got the worst bladder. Dude, I would take a house party over a bar in college. Yeah, of course. Yeah, but it was in New York that weren't a lot of house parties. Yeah. What about Tulane?
Starting point is 03:09:02 I was only there for a year and a half. Yeah, of course. I remember even pledging the frat at first. just to just to get the free booze like i didn't want to fucking join a frat yeah i remember when they were trying to they gave me a bid at one of them but it was also like i found out later like the frat that just got in trouble for blackface or something i was like don't think i want to be a part of this threat i think i got a good before but they but they cornered me in the room and they were like you are our first bid and i was like oh i'm going to leave school i'm not doing this
Starting point is 03:09:29 yeah i'm getting the fuck out of it and they thought they were going to beat the shit out of me because they were like we're all clenching their fists i think they tried to intimidate me and i was like oh no i don't want to do this and that but then since a bunch of bunch of them of like come to shows and stuff. Ever since watching Animal House, I always thought I don't get the deal with fraternities. It's just not me. It's not, I don't get the idea of a guy
Starting point is 03:09:48 doing horrible shit to me and then being like, we're brothers now. Yeah. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense. The stuff that came out of Duke where they're shoving the broom up the dude's ass. I know. I don't get the camaraderie there. Yeah, we're closer. He's raping me. He's like, now we're cool.
Starting point is 03:10:02 This is it. Yeah. You're into stripes. Bring it in. Bring it down. It's been fun, man. Appreciate you coming. Oh, this was a blast, man. Thanks for having me. What to do you?
Starting point is 03:10:12 Beer Games, Championship at the World, 2025. Okay. You're in. You're in. All right. And Mark sounds like he's in since you're going to be a partner. This is literally way too early planning because we had our planning done last year and it fell apart. Like you said, Shane bailed.
Starting point is 03:10:28 Shane dropped out. Yeah, he's a busy dude. He is. He is. He's got that. He's got, well, he should be, man. He's got the hot hand right now. Is that thunder?
Starting point is 03:10:37 Was that thunder? Was that? I hope not. Maybe we just got nuked and we're okay because we're in this fucking bunker right here. Wouldn't that be crazy? Wouldn't that be crazy? Like if we actually lived, this is the one thing that could hold it all off.
