situations at all i think i didn't get to meet kj i'm getting beers with him this weekend so yeah overall to win he seemed like a dynamic dude i think that i think kj could tell i was a little I didn't get to meet KJ I'm getting beers with him this weekend overall it's a win he seems like a dynamic dude I think KJ could tell I was a little bit eggy about it just a little nervous he's like you're not sexually there what did you expect to find

if it wasn't BDSM I was expecting to find chicks I've been getting catfished by a girl for like a year. Yeah. And I messaged her like a month ago. I was like, hey, I know you're a catfish, but at this point, like, we're actually friends. I was like, so it's all good.

But even at that point, she couldn't admit that she was catfishing me. Yeah. I remember that. I told her, I said, send me a photo of you. I was like, hey, like, I'm like way too suspicious. I'm sorry to do this, but could you send me a photo of you doing like a shaka sign? Yeah. And she found one of the person she pretends to be.

Wow. After like four hours. Deep dive. Yeah. Or she could be a Photoshop guru. Oh. Think about that. I didn't even think about that.

Adobe is capable of amazing things. That's true, because the race didn't match the hand and the face. There you go. Interesting. Wow. It's true because the race didn't match the hand and the face. There you go. Interesting. Wow. Dark skin, thumbs. Yeah,

it's like a little blurry. She's like, huh? Like she tans uneven. Crazy. Happens to me too. Well, you guys have been

out and about a lot too. You guys just went to New York for 4th of July. Oh yeah. You were with your buddy DJ Press Play. Yeah. Doing a rager.

Had a show in Brooklyn. First time in a nightclub in a long time. It looked nuts. It was swinging from the rafters, man. Was Kenward there? No, he wasn't there. Yeah, it was just you, me, our producer, and Drew, our manager, and Blumberg. And our lawyer showed up.

Really? That's awesome. Yeah, it was a rocking time and we the show started at 10 30 i was the least valuable player of the entire night um we two this guy two-turn tony came yeah and uh he's a beast yeah he looks like he's he's chiseled yeah hilarious guy drinks a ton and I sort of made him my thing. I was like, all right, I'm on Tony tonight. I'm going to go blow for Tony. He's going to go Bruce Bowen on Ray Allen.

Hand up. Yeah. Locking up Tony. Nice. And he's big into beer bongs. So he brought, he made his own funnel because he didn't bring one from Michigan or whatever. So he like go into the hardware store, made his own funnel. We get dinner before the show that was starting at 10.30.

And at this Italian place, he was getting sangria and beer bonging it. And he was sort of like, he was offering it to other people. He was like, oh, fuck it. Like, I'm stepping up with Tony

and doing the sangria beer bongs. Thinking I'm a beast. Leave dinner. Blacked out at the show and left at 11.30. Yeah. I think you were the MVP. You emptied the tank the tank dude you didn't leave anything on the floor so we had an uh we had two opening acts before dj press play and the first guy was like playing for i don't know a handful of people in

the crowd but like jack was so drunk that he's like in the front like let's go supporting the opener at that point i was, this guy's a liability. Our lawyer did come. It was the first time I met my lawyer face-to-face. He didn't recognize him at first. He's like, Jack, it's Gary. You're like, Gary! Dude, we had that same experience.

Our lawyer's like the best, but we didn't meet him for like two years. Yeah, Ben's a beast. So you were also blackout drunk when you met him i was super baked when we went to dinner with him for the first time it was like a holiday dinner i turned to chad i was like dude i'm too stoned and chad was like you're good dude and i was like all right i'm cool we met him too and he he's a stud we were like we're like damn ben he just comes in he like had like a vest on he's a stud. We were like, damn, Ben. He just comes in. He had a vest on. A lot of charisma. He's got a family.

Clear sign of an entertainment lawyer. Yeah. It's like, I'm formal, but it's a vest. Right. Yeah. He was cool. Yeah. And then we partied.

Me and Strider partied with you guys. Oh, that was a blast. Dude, that was so fun, man. That was at Circa in downtown. I loved your commentary on vegas too where you were just like kind of the thesis i embraced i embraced the hedonism of vegas the spectacle the true beauty it's so true i did i love we went back a couple days ago and i was like i just get there and i'm like i love that nothing is supposed to be here it's like barren wasteland it's spitting

god's eye yeah and then we're just like watch what capitalism will build yeah we can conquer your earth yeah and it's everything there's just about transaction yeah and like hedonism and i'm like i love it it's so ugly i just it makes me feel good there's a great um sort of nihilism to it because it's like everything you do you could ruin your life in a second and it's kind of okay yeah yeah you go there thinking i could lose my money i could ruin my relationship i could lose all friends and family i have i love touching that energy yeah it's if you close enough to the danger yeah my therapist calls it thantos like the need to self-destruct and what is it thantos is that related to thanos i think they might have taken that from the the psychological idea or whatever but yeah thanos is the need to self-destruct. And he always says that's big in me.

But that's why Vegas is so nice. Let's get you a little pied-a-terre apartment that you can live in in Vegas. What is that word? A pied-a-terre is like a little hideout apartment that rich guys have. I love that word, dude. Yeah.

You know what my favorite part of Vegas was? That blackjack table we commandeered. And we're talking to the dealer from Ohio. And we're asking if we'd be the hottest guys in Ohio if we were there. Or how physically attractive we'd be considered in Ohio. Yeah, she said we'd be a couple points higher in Ohio, right? Yeah, we were fired up. I think I had that on video.

We're like, yes! I remember you looked at the camera like, we're hot in Ohio. That place in general, I was blown away by because the downtown of Vegas is what you associate with like kind of rundown, like old casinos or whatever. The Circa is like super nice and like built up. And the sports book is insane. It's crazy. The TVs are fucking cute.

The TV at the pool was like the biggest thing I've ever seen. Yeah, I think it's the biggest in Vegas. No, it's a perfect place. Yeah. And then when we were at the blackjack table, we got the one young dude who like knew the rules like by heart and was like very frustrated if you deviated from like. You got to play as a team.

I know. That's such a fun aspect of blackjack. But also there's moments where you want to like do your own thing. You want to go rogue. You want to go rogue. Yeah. But there's always strength you want to like do your own thing. You want to go rogue. You want to go rogue. Yeah. But there's always strength in numbers in blackjack. And when you get to squad together, you feel like it's you against them.

Yeah. Yeah. And it's so satisfying when you all play the right strategy and then the dealer busts and you look at each other like we did it boys. We did it. We held the line. Yeah. It's like in Gladiator.

Yeah. In Gladiator it was like we have a better chance of surviving if we stick together. And then they go out there and they do like the phalanx. They're knocking over chariots. That was us at the blackjack table. That was us playing $5 a hand. That was fun.

Dude, I stayed an extra day too. I was blown away by the fact that you guys went hard another day. I was like, I can't leave. I left at like 11 o'clock the next morning. I was tempted to stay. Dude, you should have, man. It was fun.lex flag texted me like first thing in the morning she's like i need jt's number one to hang out with him today she was the best we had such a good time

yeah i could not rec i could not uh recommend a better move than that but you're in their hands no we worked as a team too yeah we were a good unit we had a good time we were in excess to like three or four in the morning on saturday yeah yeah i'll probably cut this it was funny too she had some friends with her you know yeah and i had like a hookup to get us into excess and then the girls were like ah so how are we gonna get an excess i'm like all right it's gonna be like 50 bucks ahead which i thought was like such a deal to get it because the nightclub had like a three hour line yeah and all the girls were like what i've They've never been told that. They were like, no, we don't pay. I was like, no, that's like the only way we get to the front. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. It's a different, nightclubs are like so interesting that way where it's like the true one like example of when men are second class citizens. Oh, yeah. Like you go to a nightclub and they're just like, I've literally gone to clubs in LA, especially when I first moved here. The bouncer just looked at me and goes, not your night, dude. They just told me to go home.

Yeah. We were at XS the night before. Was Dylan Francis playing? I think so. Yeah. It was David Guetta. For some reason, I got like really upset with the songs Dylan Francis was playing.

Why? I was like, the vibe wasn't right. I was like, dude, like you're a professional DJ. You got to read the room. Right. Right. Your energy is not high're a professional DJ. You've got to read the room. Right.

Your energy's not high enough. That's your whole job is to read the room. Low BPMs. I was so drunk, I made my way behind the DJ booth. And I was trying to get onto the stage. Well, you had just been on stage with DJ Pressplay, too. So your muscle memory was probably telling you this is normal. Yeah, it was just instinct.

I think I DM'd him. Talking shit? Did you really? And then I think I DM'd him. Talking shit? Did you really? And then I unsent the DM. That's smart. From Friday beers? Oh, God. From Friday beers?

That's funny. He actually sent us a photo of it, and we have it here. Dylan, you pussy-ass bitch. These songs are whack, and you're like, dude, damn. I don't think it was mean. I think it was encouraging. It was constructive. I think there's some better options.

Dude, stay on it. Yeah, keep working hard, man. You're going to find your voice. Guys worth like $50 million in DJs. Less comedy videos and focus more on yourself. Yeah, it's like, what are you? You're kind of blurring the lines. A lot of these DJs are doing that, right?

Yeah, Diplo. Diplo. The whole, I mean like steve aoki it's it's so much more performative than like actually being like a sick dj right no one's like scratching or doing like any of the scratching yeah yeah it's like uh yeah who's like who is rock Kim's DJ? Man, we just look so white on seconds of video. There's a documentary called what we started.

It's about like the evolution, electronic music. And it's, it just basically talking about how a lot of these guys just get up there and, you know, like how is Steve Aoki making these transitions when he's on stage, throwing a cake at someone? It's like the art of it is lost, but it's never been bigger. I was inspired by that.

I kind of wanted to start doing that at our comedy shows. Doing what? Cake people. Cake people, yeah. Oh, yeah. Find something with a cake in your face. Cupcake, yeah. Is there another form of dessert or food in general that maybe you could use?

Yeah, I think we're pretty health conscious. Spaghetti Alfredo. Right. Toss out keto brownies. Just frisbee them out. Well, DJ Press plays a signature move, which hasn't caught on yet, but it will, is the pinky raise. And this is a signal for everyone in the crowd to do a pinky dip into their molly.

Have you guys had any bad experiences with drug dealers? You know what my worst drug dealing experience was? It wasn't drugs, but it was on the beach. I was in Brazil. I went to the World Cup in 2014 in Brazil. And they had beach vendors who sell pastries that look pretty good yeah and i was like oh dang i gotta have these pastries and i ate the ate this like gross lukewarm brazilian pastry yeah on the beach i was like dude that's cat it was like that's gato meat in there

what that is like the most disgusting thing i ever ate oh my god ruined my entire like rest of the trip i was just thinking about the gato was it bad was it it was like like congealing meat of this thing baking in the hot brazilian sun and i was i was in the toilet the rest of the fucking night and the next morning just throwing up the thing that was my worst drug dealing experience oh my god was zika floating around back then? No, that was pre the Olympics. Oh, okay. Yeah. Was it? The Zika break. I heard Brazil's incredible. Was it fun? It was really sick. What matches did you go to?

I only went to one. Which one? I went to Belgium versus Venezuela, I want to say. Interesting. Costa Rica. I just wanted to learn Latin America. I don't think Venezuela was in there. I only remember Belgium because they had Hazard and Fellini. Was De Bruyne on that team, too? He must have been, yeah. We sat next to Roddy White and Julio Jones. Dude.

It was awesome. Roddy White, dude. He was a beast, man. Yeah, he was. They were both beasts and they were hilarious. I was more there to go to the bars. Wasn't Roddy White hitting on on you or Julio Jones was it could have been construed as that Yeah, he like gave me a cell phone number. Oh, he's throwing you rhythm. Yeah I heard a lot of NFL guys are on the download. I said my buddy Ron played ball at SC

I went how many dudes around roads? He's like more dudes are on the download than are on roads. Well Statistically speaking like yeah you got what 52 50 guys on a roster so like eight of them yeah that dude just came out that was a good post yeah yeah the nfl is gay now yeah it's good it's always been gay that's the thing these dudes were always fucking each other dude high school football i barely played i played one season dude we were all over each other like during two days guys would be humping each other it's like what's gay about like 12 guys showering with that's the thing it's macho gay it's like it's like spartan gay yeah wait a second not to create a hierarchy dude that was like at boarding school that was the vibe it's like because you got we have like

this east coast connection you guys are from fairfield. I went to Hotchkiss. Yeah. Shout out. Jack Ottman. Yeah. Jack Ottman, TJ Chilnoki, Teddy McKenzie. Chilnokes, dude. I don't know anybody, but your name is ridiculous. We got to give a shout out to Chilnoki.

So I came from California, and I was enamored with the East Coast culture. I started buying Lacoste shirts and, you know, seersucker shorts. Same way we were buying Quicksilver. Right, right. Yeah, yeah. So I get out there and I was actually obsessed with sort of like the Greenwich bro. We're from Greenwich. Yeah, that's what you guys are.

And I was like really excited to meet like a Greenwich bro just because it was like so foreign to me and first guy i meet tj cholnoki with perfect greenwich bro to be perfect greenwich bro with the letruga formed from the backwards hat and the wings coming out the most majestic flow i've ever seen and uh but yeah at boarding school the showers that was sort of like the if you went in the stall. That's the worst. That's called a shy guy shower. Yeah. You never go on the shy guy showers.

It shows shame. It shows weakness. Yeah. Dude, so we had a similar fascination, or at least I did, with the West Coast growing up on the East Coast. Huge Laguna Beach fan, like Steven Tallon. Dude. We went to Laguna Beach on a family vacation.

Did you? We went by the high school. We went to Laguna Beach on a family vacation. Did you? We went to Newport for our family vacation, and I was like, I got to go check out Laguna Beach High School. I'm going to walk the same hallways of these legends. Dude, they were amazing personalities, dude. J-Wall. Jason. Jason.

Walnut. I mean, I just remember that. Jason, Talon, Steven. Dude, I heard Talon could hit in football I heard he was a strong football player yeah

they have a pretty sick field ball hog strong safety yeah exactly don't come over the middle little Adam Archuleta type Talon actually commented on a video we posted

we did like a remake of the Laguna Beach opening credits oh yeah all like the Friday Beers characters and I think we called Talon like chill guy or something and he was like dude like it's uh huh and I think we like called like Talon like chill guy

or something and he was like dude like it's hilarious like can I repost like of course Talon that's awesome do whatever you want

dude when he had the date with Kristen Cavalieri in season 2 and he made her an Italian dinner I was like the skill set on this guy at 16

garage door opening at 16 he's making moves like that also dude you're watching Laguna Beach Kristen at 17 or 18

is like the most intimidating girl yeah she was a bitch she sees the matrix I mean she's like in full command of like I would crumble

around an 18 year old she's still doing it yeah she's a world beater that lady Bobby yeah Justin Bobby

Justin Bobby the hills was a major thing you know I went to boarding school so we weren't allowed to watch TV. That's why I missed out on the Hills. Oh, shit. Yeah.

Actually, our mom kind of regulated us watching TV like that, too, for a while. Yeah, we couldn't watch PG-13 until we were like 17. They didn't have an Xbox until I was like 15. Wow. Yeah. So what were you guys doing all the time? Just, like, play wiffle ball, like, make up games. We had, like, a little a little room outside of our bedroom.

Wall ball. We just played a shitload of wall ball. Dude, when you invent games with your friends, too. I invent a ton of games. We had one game where we just played tag around the house and just pegged each other with a ball. It's a perfect game. It's called Billy Bomb.

That's awesome. Come up with your own rules. They're constantly evolving. The game got canceled. We hit one of our buddies and fell down our stairs. Yeah and like almost died it's all out actually when someone gets hurt at a hang you're like no dude please be okay dude you're okay you're okay you're okay dude dude you're okay you're okay he's like arms like that buddy dislocated his knee twice playing wiffle ball yeah and it was like the most horrifying. Horrific.

We had these bases. Shout out to my boy Naj, one of my best friends since third grade. There was this slow ground ball to him. He was kind of near third base. To get a double play in wiffle, you have to get the force and then you throw to the pitcher. He steps on this third base,

rubber third base on a little wet grass slides out knee just twisted oh just like literally like the other way ambulance to the house it was when you got to return a kid to the parents fucked up too like hey your kid came over for a night here's him back with a dislocated elbow the mom's like what is going on over there what do your parents think about your this new career oh friday beers uh our dad is super supportive yeah what's he do uh he's an executive recruiter oh that means he finds people to become like chief investment officers of endowments and like other big big financial institutions. So if Stanford needs somebody to manage

the $20 billion they have, they hire my dad to find that person. Oh, wow. He's a headhunter. Did you guys think you were going to get into the, were you guys thinking finance for a while? Yeah, basically until six months ago. Were you guys working in finance?

No. six months ago yeah were you guys working in finance uh no i worked in um i worked at deutsche bank for the first two years out of college that's uh first two years out of college that's a huge one that's one of the biggest banks in the world i was in an investment banking program for two years how was that it was a different style of life yeah it's brutal man it's like a pledge yeah it's like a pledge yeah it's like pledging a company and you're expected to work uh you're expected to work like you know 80 hours 90 hours 100 hours people would brag like yeah worked 100 hours last week my brother did that it's fucking tough and you're expected to do it for a couple years and then your life

gets a little less shitty and a little less shitty you make more money you make more money were you good at it uh i wasn't very good no um you could tell other guys it was like more like their heart somebody like just got there like people got their rocks off doing it yeah my my best friend uh and roommate at georgetown was like top of the class finance dude uh i the only reason i really got through school was because i was his roommate and i would just use his case studies and you know apparently barely graduated but he when he first started working in investment banking he worked so hard that he like had to get hospitalized twice for dehydration because he would just stay at his desk for so long without water like dog at a certain point like drink something that's what i'm saying yeah why are you still in this business was it was it a good was i want to make bank bro like what do you say with pride

i think you gotta wear it as a badge of honor yeah yeah yeah like that sounds people would always like come up people like always come up to your desk when you're working in investment banking and they go uh what are you jamming on like what project what are you working on what are you jamming on yeah because if they if they're busier than you are it's like not good like you always want to be like the most busy right and then you talk about like how many it's all about how many deals you're working on yeah it's like there's deal and then there's live deal a live deal is like one that's like actually go like gonna transact and close yeah and people be like yeah i'm on three live deals right now.

Stuff at the office. Would you slip into that? Or were you kind of like, this is, I'm sure I said my fair share of like toolish things, but like, I was always also like pretty meta about it. Cause I hated it so much.

Yeah. And I was also an English major. So I was sort of like, well, I'll try this and like, maybe I could make a lot of money and I'm good. Yeah. But I always like wanted to do other stuff like i wanted to like work in entertainment media in some form

so i was like kind of always like watching tv shows on my desk and all that shit like that and then basically i spent the last year i was there like figuring out how i was going to leave and go to another company that was more in a space that i was interested in right well they and they've made some changes to they've had to institute like health regulations for yeah and they're like it's like your friends like yeah yeah and they're paying entry-level employees now more right yeah we didn't this is a lot of money obviously but like when i was started in investment banking like the base salary was 70 000 a year for a first year analyst yeah um and in new york that's it's not that much in new york and like if you extrapolate like the hourly rate of like working 80 hours a week on that it's

like pretty shit per hour yeah and it's really and they always hold this like pot of gold that they like you got bonus bonus in the summer oh yeah I've heard my friends talking about yeah I got my first bonus I was like what the fuck is this this is very underwhelming I had taken out a Capital One like no interest credit card for the last like four months cuz like bonus bonus yeah loading that sucker up yeah and I got the bonus check and immediately gets cut in half yeah because of taxes and i'm just like thank god i didn't take out two capital one no interest credit cards like i was still 1680 an hour right that's shit yeah dude the taxes when you first

get hit with taxes for the first time like real real taxes. Yeah. Because we like comics, you know, so you basically get paid by the government for the first, you know, until you actually do. When you first get hit with it, you're like, holy shit. That's how much you guys pay? You're like, maybe I shouldn't support Bernie Sanders. Well, that's what he did. He did freak out about that. I freaked out. I was like like this is bullshit

he sent me biden's tax plan he's like have you seen this yeah yeah i was like i was pissed yeah 50 percent this this tax plan has just come to my attention yeah it's so funny um oh and um i was always impressed whenever we go to new york is the the energy people seem to have because i don't know if it's like la more health conscious but you know weekdays i feel like people are going out every night and they're just working full days new york energy is totally different nothing like it you get yeah you touch down on like a tuesday morning you're like let's fucking go if i was like walk faster on the sidewalk asshole It's a tall build It's a skyscraper There's like 30 different languages going on too

Like languages you can't ID It's like so much chaos It's bustling It applies to like the pace of the social life For sure Because you know people will go out On every weekday And they'll get up in the morning and they'll do a work of class and they'll get on the subway and they'll go to work.

And then it applies to the pace of like work too because we just had this conversation. He's from New York. Yeah. He's like, dude, like what's with like the pace of work in LA? He's like, people say like, all right, well, let's touch back on this in three weeks. Right. You know, like after I go like surfing or whatever. And he's like, dude, I want to like make my show tomorrow.

Dude, yeah. And it's like, yeah, it's just like a different style of working, I guess, where in New York people expect things immediately after they ask them to get done. And I think people here just have like, I think like a healthier sense of like balancing right health and and work and other it can get frustrating they're like people like they're like hey we're gonna wait like three weeks to circle back on this and you're like yeah i literally think we could talk for two minutes

tomorrow like you could just send me a text message saying okay yeah and i think we'd be ready to move on i pass yeah yeah yeah i'm like literally it's like two words in one direction or the other and i think i think this thing could get done but then you don't want to seem like needy or like intense you don't want to you never want to seem too eager i've learned right so yeah i don't care if this project happens yeah they're like hey we'll call you back in three weeks about your dream you're like hey take your time make it four i care like dude i just don't give a fuck dude but then i also i care a ton yeah it's such a balancing act it's crazy it really is hard to find that balance between that like especially in like la new york

that ambition and then you know just waiting for other people you're just like i struggle with that a lot because i get very impatient yeah but it's like not showing that neediness or you just gotta you know do some sprints or something yeah you have to be like okay in the waiting time but then the waiting like you have a lot on your mind and then you don't want to like think you're thinking about it your mind just goes yeah you're like no it's not because of that it's because of this other stuff it's like not to jump ahead but quote of the week control what you can right there it is yeah yeah i've because i feel i'm the same way like yeah constantly want shit to get done yeah and if i'm relying on other people it just doesn't move at the pace I want it to yeah so then I just do

things that okay then let me push this forward instead like yeah control what you can do you ever think like you're like but I think I could control more like like you think about climate change like nothing I could do it it's like well maybe if I really worked hard at it become an invasive investor yeah just take over the world don't underestimate what you're a dollar yeah my quote is don't underestimate what you can control you can hit your hands at the levers of everything dude if you want it if you want it that's why i went to stand up instead of improv because i was doing improv classes and you know you have to schedule meeting your practices so many other people and i'm like no one you know it's like they're like yeah we could do it next week and i was just like i was

like fuck this go stand up where it's like all in my control and i'm like you could do mics as much as you want right did you guys do all that shit no we're not really great performers i would say that's why we uh started doing sketch comedy. I was working in an advertising job, and it was at a snail's pace. I was just so bored, and I wanted to do other comedy writing. We're not good at stand-up. We can't really do improv. I'm sure you'd be good at it.

I love sketch comedy. It's just a matter of like i remember like if it does it for you i left work one day and i drove by one of the fries electronic stores and i just like picked up a camera and i got back home i was like told my roommate i was like dude let's just start making sketch comedy yeah did that for two years it got really you know a lot better at editing comedy writing and then that parlayed that into kind of a skill set we use for Friday beers yeah how do you guys discover that style the sort of Friday beers sort of the style of your videos now like how about anything or just the concept like pulling footage from other stuff and then appropriating it's funny

like it was a skill set that I developed not knowing I was developing it, like starting back in like a school at school. So after Georgetown, I went to Atlanta and went to an ad school called the creative circus. And there it's like, you're very much on your own. You're making creative projects. And I just like would edit tons of like sizzle reels and like edit tons of

fake ads. And to make a fake ad, I'm not shooting anything so i'd have to pull clips that made sense wow to put together it's such a one-to-one kind of uh inspiration that's interesting like and then i kept kind of doing that um just making like just in my free time like shitty little sizzles and fake ads and fake trailers. And then. It was also around that time, like the social media platforms,

like Snapchat or whatever, had started introducing like the auto pin things. Yeah. Like you just put a text on like a thing and it automatically do it for a short clip for you. Right. And so then it just became like another level. It's like, all right, this is kind of cool, but like. The technology got to where it was kind of.

Well, we never used it innovation yeah you just used it in an editing program right and we had obviously been writing sketch comedy

and we wrote like scripts and tried to show to producers and stuff like that and we were like these our old sketch comedy group

was called 20 something comedy and we had we thought the jokes were funny and the characters were funny yeah

so we're after we were like the format was funny and the characters were funny yeah so we're after we like the format was starting to get people's eyes on it we're like let's just start to like put the characters and the jokes like inside of this world so you're making sketch comedy but with like other people's footage yeah and then people were like oh this is like a story this is a character that we like recognize a name for and that became like the friday beers universe of characters or whatever yeah it's so it's so for and that became like the friday beers universe of characters or whatever yeah it's so it's so creative and it feels like it just keeps building and on top of that your output is incredible like i feel like you guys are doing like a video a day right it's

funny like in the beginning of people were like dude like you got like a team of 10 guys over there yeah just max yeah i was i was doing the editing jack and sam our other brother were doing like uh like pulling the clips and and writing the jokes but yeah it's like a very it was just like a little i love that now we have now we have people who help right yeah right well how's that that's another learning experience too because it's like i don't think we didn't really set out to, like, run a company. Right. Yeah, you guys have, like, infrastructure. We have really good people who work for us. Yeah, when I got out to Vegas and I saw your guys' entire operation, I was like, well, I'm way out of my depth.

I was like, we don't do that. We're also out of our depth, by the way. Yeah, we have, like, an HR software. Wow. No, but it seems to run pretty seamlessly though and that's because we've brought in some people who are like you know really additive and professional your whole team's awesome everyone's a good hang it's yeah and that's the number one and they're all very dedicated to what they're doing yeah that's the sense i get at least we're really tyrannical uh like when we're not around you oh really they're

scared to death dude i love that yeah they know up. We have one of those old school punch in, punch out tickets. You know what's funny, too? We also have like a cattle prod. I know that's my banker mentality. I know that's probably not true, but you know what's funny? It's like every comedian who like projects a very nice guy energy, every time I hear about one of those persons behind the scenes, everyone's like, monster.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. They're like, you know that guy who goes on stage and is just the sweetest, cuddliest bear in the world? they're like you know that guy goes on stage and it's just the sweetest cuddliest bear in the world they're like on set he is a monster where's my fucking heavy on yeah i don't know what it is too but it seems to be more the nice people who have that i think if you'd ask yeah anyone who works with us we're very good and and uh fair bosses yeah yeah i'm generally, like, super easygoing. Yeah.

I mean, I get walked all over. I'm working way harder than that. Is it hard for you to crack the... Are you allowed to say crack the whip? Is that okay? Probably not. It is. Oh, dude.

So this is something about the Barretts. So, like, the Barrett family has... This definitely comes from our dad. Yeah, it comes from our dad. Like, we get walked over by everyone like we are we will inconvenience ourselves right as much as possible in order not to like upset or offend anyone like for at a restaurant and like the waiter is like fucking up we'll be like it's so apologize it's okay like brings you the wrong meal so i'll just eat this right and so that kind

of translate and translates into work we're like it's really it's hard to give critical feedback yeah like because you don't want to hurt someone then you can convince yourself i'll just do it i'll just i'll just redo it yeah right yeah you don't want to seem like spoiled or entitled but it's funny because i you know i spent four years in advertising you hear these horror stories of like creative directors just being absolute dicks right being like walking into a room like full of work it's ripping it down be like this sucks fuck this yeah stay all night uh just like would be sick to do once or twice yeah i always i always had a feeling that um it was a power move for creative people to do that like i worked for

six years before fried beers i worked at a production company and there's like i saw the people who were like commanded the most respect and power it was almost like if they had a temper tantrum in front of a room they would take back all the control and people would do what they said to get it right interesting the most like the more like sort of emotion and just like anger and rawness that they'd show would be like this guy must sort of know what he's talking about and i think it's instinctive for people to want to appease that person because you don't want someone to be upset yeah if someone's upset you're like all right let's make this person yeah that's a weird way

to usurp control for me personally i never responded to that type of no i always i always got pissed i modeled my behavior my creative leadership off of the guys who like i did I never responded to that type of leadership. I model my behavior, my creative leadership off of the guys who would encourage me and excite me and be like, find ways to tell me this is bad while also being like, but here's how to make it better.

Not just like, fuck you. And look at movies. Look at the heroes in movies. Maximus and William Wallace aren't like, no one's listening to me. No one is listening to me. What is going on? I'm trying to lead an army, people.

They're just like, William, you're taking on too much. You can't lead the cavalry. He's like, these are my men. And I will die at the front. And you're like, yeah, that's a badass. You have a martyr. And martyr is not the right word, but you're willing to sacrifice yourself. Yeah, and you've got to project like you're a good person.

Or why else would people want to back you up, I guess. I firmly believe that. Although I do have a little bit of Adam Sandler in Punch Drunk loving me. Oh, nice. That's such a great movie. Where he's just like a mild-mannmannered guy and then he'll just like punch the real window snap yeah dude me and dude it's funny this is like really personal but like there's no one i hate disagreeing with more than chad like when we have a disagreement

it can be so minor comfortable but it's like it's like both of us are just like we've like um i can just tell it right yeah like there was a part of like our new bit where like one of us was gonna pop up his sunglasses yeah so minor and we right before we did the bit

we started arguing about who was gonna do the sunglass bit and then I I brought my sunglasses cause I'm like we're coming from the pool

and I just assume I would just walk up yeah and just flip them up but then you wanted to do like a specific joke I had like a bit

where I was like oh I'm gonna buy some sunglasses and I'll forget to take them off or something in the beforehand and then i saw before the speech the chat at his sunglasses are you gonna do the same shit and then we were like then he was like i was already gonna do the bit i was like no that's my bit well i wasn't gonna do the bit i was gonna wear sunglasses because we came from the pool and then we both got into it for like 10 seconds then we both sat there uncomfortable then i went you just do it and then he went no you're fucking doing it and then but it was funny it was like it's hard to disagree with people some people some people this other day when we have disagreements we could barely

get through uh podcast ad read yeah so i was like dude i don't think you should be saying it like sarcastically i think like the uh advertiser might take offense to that like we should be more sincere with this this pod read. And Jack was like, he just clearly didn't say anything. It was like clearly pissed off. And like, after we did it,

he's like, can we talk on the porch? Is this real? Really? Wow. Freshly had. Well, you guys are brothers too,

dude. That's hard copy. Yeah. Dude, when we have a disagreement about like one word, like we'll agree on 90% of it. And then like the one line we disagree about, it looks like both of us are dying from stomach cancer like we both just go no no no i'm like please don't do that and then chad's like i want to do it and i'm like please

and then we're just sitting there silent i'm like i'm almost like dude i would just agree just so we could get back to vibing yeah you know what i mean yeah i need to like have a i need to like feel comfortable and like i always need to talk through things i tend to be really hypersensitive me too i love talking through things yeah i'd be ever since it's hard for me to let things go so that's my that's my cross to bear yeah i'd say i'm very bad at talking about things right but i'm good at letting things go you're good at there you are really good at letting things go yeah i don't hold grudges right but i also don't you know there'll be times where i'll be like man i should have said something but then i'll be like oh it's all good it's a good learning experience

for me because i'm so used to talking through things that like i have to sit there and like i'll want to talk to him about whatever happens so bad and then i have to go and then i'm like i'm like no he just needs time and then everything will reset but in my mind i'm like no we got to talk about it oh dude we don't actually i used to internalize so much uh and it was like super destructive and then um basically like my parents like made me go to therapy when they're getting divorced so i learned how to smart yeah yeah ex communicate my feelings and talk about what's going on in my head and like it provides so much clarity right like it it's there's no it's a cliche to say but like therapy and like talking out your issues is like so powerful and like it

helps yeah and yeah therapeutic yeah well i after the sunglass thing i journaled about it on the plane and i got it out when you were two rows in front of me yeah i was i was journaling i was like i was like it's just it's like we have the best job in the world this doesn't matter at all oh do your journals are so much nicer than mine yeah yeah you guys have both done started to do recently i've been doing for a while journaling uh i've been doing it. Well, I started free writing in the mornings when I started doing stand-up. Nice.

And then it just kind of evolved into journaling. So it's not, yeah, it's more kind of like, it's like free writing just to get thoughts out for like, see if there's any bits. And then I'll just, if I's any bits or and then i'll just if i'm like stressed or something i'll write about that and then what else did dream dream journal i'll be like i'll be like yeah you know if you keep a dream journal it helps you uh get better at lucid dreaming i did that for a while interesting you know you're so twisted yeah you have nightmares and stuff yeah and I have lucid dreams. So I was writing whatever happened that I can remember when I woke up.

I started keeping a dream journal. My dreams were so fucked up. I was like, I'm not doing this anymore. It's like creedbots.blogspot.com. Some strange shit, bro. Yeah, my dreams are strange shit. A lot of mine are built around, these are the ones I'm comfortable sharing, are the ones where I'm like a coward. It's me and my brother getting mugged, and I run away, and he gets shot in the head. And then I wake up, and I'm comfortable sharing are the ones where I like, I'm like a coward. Like it's me and my brother getting mugged and I run away and he gets shot

in the head. And then I wake up and I'm just like, I wake up and I'm like, Oh, Oh, I don't love my brother. Like, I just like feel like intense.

Yeah. Yeah. Recurring journey. I'm trying to think of, I have a recurring dream where like, I haven't prepared for like a test or like a, I have, I haven't graduated high school yet.

And I'm like 33 and I have to like repeat. To all of the folks, you got a lot of listeners are still in college, still graduated high school yet. I'm like 33 and I have to repeat something. I haven't graduated college. To all of the folks, you got a lot of listeners who are still in college, still in high school. That truly is the most stressful time in your life. Everyone's just like, oh man, I would kill to be back in college,

fucking ripping it up. But it's like, dude, I don't want to fucking study for anything anymore. I don't want to have homework to do. I don't want to unplug at night. I don't want any of that. And you have no control. Like you can't pick what classes you take.

You can't pick like, like you can't be like, this situation sucks. I'm going to leave. Like you can't leave high school. You're stuck in the track. I don't know, man.

Like now, if now that you've been through it, you could plan out your schedule. You wouldn't have the luxury of big going, been through and going back. If I went back to high school i would suck at it again like it just was not i think i'm dominant dude that's awesome though bro like physically you heard a friday beer you'd be on the wrestling team just mangling like 15 year old psychologically dude i i i think about high school because i went to a boarding

school and i think about it i'm'm like, that was fucking insane. It is. It was like a... That's a different experience. It was college with a lot of rules. Yeah. No TV, no cell phone. And, yeah.

I think the pent up, whatever you want to call it, like, urge to do bad shit was way worse in boarding school than it is when you go to high school in your hometown. We went to high school locally. Right. Because you live in like a puritanical dude yeah existence you're like let me sneak off and bang something in like broom closets and you're not at your home like you're all visitors to like this foreign place and everyone's from a different especially you going across the country and everybody's coming from like probably that's a crazy migration yeah it manifested in weird ways my junior year like because there's no chance policy that's what they call it where you couldn't

drink or you'd be kicked out yeah so you know we would just be like me and my boys in the shower just naked drinking fader aids you know when you guys did like way more drugs than like me and my homies did yeah yeah we were introduced to drugs to drugs, and then it just skyrocketed. Yeah, I think that stuff's accelerated at boarding school. Yeah. A hundred percent. Yeah, we tried to get high off nutmeg. Have you heard about that?

If you take a bunch of nutmeg, then... So I literally did. I just ate a bunch of this spice. It's sort of like where you eat a lot of cinnamon, and you just don't really dry it out. That's all it was. I know a kid who went to wilderness camp. he got kicked out of my junior high because his friend took his shit on the bathroom floor and he threw it against the wall and every time i saw him for the next 10 years i'd bring it up he'd be like dude can you stop telling that story and i'd be

like colby remember you got kicked out of school dude fucking hurling shit bro fucking hucking shit you ever do the burt's bees bees in noes in? No, what's that? You take Burt's Bees. Oh, that was huge. Lip balm. It's a chapstick, yeah. You put it on your eyelids. Or a lip balm, yeah. You put it on your eyelids.

Kids, don't do this fucking shit. And you just kind of feel like you're high, like you're buzzing. Yeah. It's really additive when you're already drunk to bees. You know? Right. Bees. We're bringing bees in back.

Bees over. Interesting. It's not endorsed by Burt's Bees. Yeah. The correct usage. I believe that. drunk to bees you know okay he's like he's in we're bringing bees and bees over interesting it's not endorsed by burnt bees yeah the correct i believe that also when we're talking about coke you got to be careful with your coke now just not just because it's coke but also because i read a new york times article everything's laced with fentanyl right now so you don't want to wind up fucking dead dude just don't fucking do it yeah just drink espresso get an mct coffee yeah i get i actually get too hopped up when i drink coffee do you really i usually drink decaf yeah yeah i'm a sensitive guy and sometimes when i have a full cup of coffee i'll just sort of like stare at my

computer for like an hour and a half and be like where should i start right you know yeah i feel energized productive yeah do you uh do you crash when you drink coffee not really that's good um and honestly decaf has a little bit of caffeine in it does it yeah it's a tiny percent so it just it gives me i think enough to do the ritual placebo yeah yeah do you guys want to answer some questions? Yeah, for sure. Absolutely. So you, you guys are like sensitive bros.

Oh yeah. I feel like you guys are kind of our East coast counterpart. I think that's where we ended up bonding right when we met you. Uh, and I remember, I don't know if you remember this because, um, we're all really drunk, but in,

in March of last year, remember we did that we played like we played a twitch the twitch game yeah yeah and then we were doing like you know those rehearsals it was like fucking crazy to pull it off and then after it we just stayed on we had the video chat yeah yeah but lights i vaguely remember we sort of had like we had the revelation that was like it's all about in 2020 it was 2020 then it's all about like not bros aren't like douchey and arrogant anymore they're sensitive that's right be a touch of your feelings is cool yeah be inclusive is cool yeah being

self-deprecating is cool right that's what we yeah we talked about my friend Christian Hernandez was like that yeah he was like a mature sensitive adult like he'd like you'd be at a party and people would be wrecking stuff and he'd be like guys this is someone's house and you were like what the fuck yeah but like it sounded honest like he wasn't and he's like and then you wouldn't be like oh fuck you christian i want to break more stuff you'd literally like drop the thing in your hand and be like all right guys let's clean up yeah yeah i'm trying to think there's like a there's definitely a character movie character like that yeah i'm trying to think of who's like you you would you would expect him to be like the traditional douche but he's not he's

like a really sensitive thoughtful guy you're like right well you know it kind of this is a a bit of a reach it's probably noah centineo and uh it could be that but i'm up to all the boys i'm gonna put a cool fucking handsome dude dude i'm gonna butcher the uh character's name but cap cullen um the the main guy in normal people who's like the oh connell connell yeah he's like the big i just think big rugby star and he's the bmoc i was thinking about the popular crowd such a good show that show was amazing dude it drew out the sadness a little bit too much for me i I'm like, yo, these two people would just be together. They should have been together.

Like, everyone else is just such a piece of shit. I'm like, why are they not together? But then I read the book, and I was like, sorry I said that. I'm just so sorry I said I read the book. But thanks, man. I'm sitting out the rest of the pod. But no, that character is so great,

because he's so handsome, but he's like, although I don't know if that actor is that handsome. But he plays the handsome guy. He's got a European attractiveness to him. That's what it is. I'm just an American through and through. Your sexual tastes are just formed by the slobbery of America. For real, dude.

I'm like, if you don't look like you could be on Baywatch, get out. Exactly. Get out. I need bigger muscles. I need more, if you don't look like you could be on Baywatch, get out. Exactly. Get out. I need bigger muscles. I need more plastic. He's not chiseled. I want Steve Wynn's fake teeth and tan on Zac Efron's body and call it that. Dude, Efron's body in Baywatch is absurd, dude.

I mean, that guy must not have drank water for like a week before a shoot. That's crazy. Wait, how did we get to this? Oh, because of Normal People. Yeah, that show is good. That's a good show. Yeah, it's a good-ass show. It before a shoot it's crazy wait how did we get to this oh cause of normal people yeah that show is good that's a good show yeah yeah that's a good ass show

it's a good ass fucking show Cornel Cornel can you do the accents I'm trying to think if I can do this I can't do an Irish accent for shit

no way I just think and then you know they're very like restrained like they can't get the words out they're like I just think you're pretty

I think you're pretty it's Marianne there's more said in the silences in that show than there are like the love scenes those pregnant pauses it's harold pinter pregnant paul how like you know explicit they were with like the actual like sex like you felt i mean it just made the romance so much more powerful it was watching like a real bone sesh dude that's when i first saw you too in the first scene is like a young dude just having sex and i was like that's actually how fucking look i haven't had sex yet that's how fucking looks yeah basic instinct it was it was they're making love i think i think

the thing is too now that we have porn people don't need to masturbate to regular entertainment because they have the options almost regardless of what age you are and i think that it's taken too much of the sex out of regular stuff. That's right. So now when I watch Bridgerton and they're grinding naked, I'm like, yeah, I miss this. You write a letter to the Pornhub editorial board like, I would recommend more clothes to you. Yeah, let's mix it up.

Where's the softcore stuff? Do they have a softcore category? They do, yeah. do they have a software category they do yeah for some reason whenever I see like like real kind of sex in movies and stuff it kind of bothers me

a little bit I don't know what it is I was watching um what's the Safdie Brothers first movie Hard Times I think that's their second movie but their first big one and there's like a sex scene in there I don't know what it is where i'm just like it when it when it's in a movie as opposed to like porn it just feels so much more real to me and i'm just like i'm like i'm like oh

i'm like oh you worry about the people and stuff you're like are they gonna be okay after this yeah that's what yeah i was like thinking about the actors yeah it must have been so weird and the characters like i don't know if they were supposed to have sex you know it is i think about like ex-girlfriends i'm like is that what they're doing i hope all my exes are getting railed i love you guys yeah all right you guys want to answer some cues yes we're also brought to you by manscape manscape thank you so much for keeping our trans pew for looking after our hogs mans is starting to open, the world is starting to open, and the Performance Package 4.0 from Manscaped is here to help you get ready inside to find their lawnmower.

Recently, my dog Evan has been growing out the flow, and it looks stupendous.

It looks sick when we surf together, and it might even rival Chad's golden locks. However, recently with summer in full swing and the boys raging it up, girls have commented on my dog's hair in a negative way. The lady friends are saying that his hair is too long and that he should cut it, even though it's the perfect length, in my opinion, just covering the neck. What's the move, dudes? Cut the hair, ignore the chicks, or start hanging out with new ladies? Love the pod, bros.

Griffin. Griffin. So the girls don't like his flow? The DJ Griffin? The girls don't like the dude's flow. They think it's too long. It's neck length. But the bros are big on it.

Is he happy? Right. Good question. That's the golden question. Does he go and look in the mirror in the morning? Is his flow? Is his buddy's flow? Oh, dude.

When you said my dog, I thought you meant his dog. Actually, his golden retriever. Golden retriever. I was like, why this thing over here? It's a fucking dog. There's something really funny about this little lechuga retriever with really overgrown hair. Yeah, yeah.

This guy's chill. Oh, that totally changes i gotta rethink this is does is he happy is his confidence higher is his self-esteem higher when he has his long hair i think that's the critical key the girls are gonna come around to that i mean like oh my god everything is about how a guy presents himself in terms of like you know aura and like happiness yeah but the the boys are stoked on it yeah the boys are stoked i mean that's yeah how a guy presents himself in terms of like, you know, aura and like happiness. Yeah. But the, the boys are stoked on it. Yeah.

The boys are stoked. I mean, that's, I don't think you need to find new girls. They'll just going to have to adapt or get ditched. Right. I think they'll get over it. Yeah.

And you know what? If he cut his hair because of these girls, he would be very unhappy. Oh my God. For sure. He'd be like, even I got capitulated to these, you know?

Yeah. And then, and then you cut the hair and he would be expecting them'd be like even i got capitulated to these you know yeah and then and then you cut the hair and he would be expecting them to be like oh nice like like they're like into him now and then they won't be and then he'll be double unhappy yeah he's just jumping through hoops that for their approval is right so neck length is here covering the neck i believe so it's chill maybe toss it up into the man bun and you can pull a little samurai look too yeah maybe we should send him a photo of tj cholnoky i think griff you got to support your boy like if he starts having self-doubt because of the outside criticism i'd i'd parrot the line from the cooler

with william h macy when he's looking at maria bella's character after she gets rough treatment from alec baldwin and i just say hey if you don't like the way you look in the mirror look into my eyes that's your mirror. And I think that'll fire him up. That would be exactly what he needs to hear. Girlfriend doesn't want to smoke. What up, brothers? So I've been with my girlfriend for over five years.

We met when we were 16 before I ever smoked weed before. My first time was with her, although she's done it before I did. We are now 21, and I've been continuing the smoking endeavor while she does not enjoy it as much. She claims she's cool with it, smoking and social settings and things like that. While I'm more of the everyday kind of smoker, this has become a problem for her because she does not like, she does not like it when I'm high. I ask her every time before I smoke, if she's cool with it. And she usually says no, which I always respect and don't argue with the common cycle usually ends up with her saying yes once. And then again, and then I get too comfortable and start trying to sneak it in, which is where the problem lies. I enjoy the token.

I'm not trying to ruin anyone's stoke, but my, my girlfriend gets so mad that I'm afraid I'll get boked. I don't see it as much of a big deal as she does. I don't see it as much of a big deal as she does. And I don't do it in front of her, but she can tell when I'm slightly cooked, I'm not hurting anyone.

And I feel like it's better than getting completely hammered. What should I do in this situation? I still love to smoke, but I'm basically with the GF all the time and I don't want to upset her. She doesn't like to talk about it, but I feel like we need to resolve this issue.

I'm trying not to give up weed altogether, but is that what it's going to take to keep the love of my life by my side? Thanks, bro. You guys have maintained my stoke for years and I have such an appreciation for your profound wisdom. Sorry for the long email and in the words of my man strider friggin late your dog freddie that's a legit this is legitimate relationship advice yeah yeah this is troubleshooting it boils down to a pretty simple question for me what's more important the sesh or your soul don't even say that what makes you say

that it's such a long story but yeah well i i will say this though smoking weed there comes a there's like a a uh point around age 20 or 21 where it affects you very differently than it did in like the halcyon days of your youth right nice like you yeah i loved it it's like some people can continue with it and it gets better and better there's a crossroads where you kind of the anxiety starts to set in and like you can't do it you're an adult so now you're having adult anxiety yeah you have an existential like i need insurance yeah and i think that's like that is a very tough thing to try to figure out in a relationship where one side is so pro ganja and the other side is not i've seen it go both ways i've seen some girlfriends who are fine with

it you know what i mean and then i've seen some girlfriends who are not into it and i mean each case is different some guys can smoke weed all the time and they're they're fine they can not function but i would say that's not the norm i'd say those people are few and far between and i think it kind of catches up to everyone at a certain point but but i don't know so you think he should give it up i think here's my my real recommendation start smoking dad grass you remember dad grass so like weaker weed plug dad grass is uh it's like it's o'douls for weed yeah it's cbd joints it's flour but like you still get the sensation or the fixation you kind of go through like the um the process and the the habit the pageantry of it um but it's just you're not getting this is stone this is what i'll say it's

not psychoactive it's a max's point what maybe max's not getting this is stone this is what i'll say it's not psychoactive it's to max's point what maybe max's point represents this is probably gonna sound very weak answer but i do believe that you gotta meet halfway in relationships to make the best ones to make them work yeah and if she's saying if they're he's she's she's the love of his life they've been together what five years or something yep Yep. 16 to 21, though. Yeah, young. I think, like, yeah. You gotta give it a shot where it's like,

I'm not gonna give up everything I love for you. I will do some things to accommodate. And if she can't see that you're making an effort, then there's probably a more deeper-rooted thing that you have to step away from. And weed is like a... When it's a vice vice it's tougher to defend you know what i mean but it's pretty docile i mean he's right it's better than fucking being

an alcoholic try to accommodate yeah it's not because yeah step away like after you've given it your best shot and the one thing you really don't want to happen not that this is in play but i've seen this too and this i think is the worst thing that can happen is when you're hiding behavior from your partner yeah you know my i had friends who were like oh my girlfriend went to sleep and then i run outside and i get high and i had one friend who his girlfriend i don't even know if she didn't want him doing drugs but he was he kind of pigeonholed her that she was that way he would like do acid and not tell her and they'd like go see a movie and he'd be on acid he could hide that he yeah and he would just like see i'm the worst at hiding and like when i'm no i gotta talk about everything yeah like yeah i could not you gotta confess yeah

are you a confessor i'm a confessor what is this i'm the same way i don't like go to confession no i know i'm just like but maybe you raised catholic no i just have a lot of guilt for some reason me too like if i got something i can't terrible liar yeah you know tell all these things that's good though right yes i don't know it would help to be a good liar yeah i think yeah i think he should it's true yeah yeah in terms of meeting halfway i gotta do it so i think he should like maybe establish a day like sundays saturdays that's when i'm gonna get baked yeah stony saturday stony sundayony Sunday yeah it's come up some kind of alliteration yeah yeah and maybe look down the road a

little bit be like you know if if I lose this relationship over weed in the long run will I be happy that I made that choice or not you know what else I like the meeting a halfway in the middle to try yeah she's I mean she's got to come then yeah test that out yeah sure she doesn't budge and you're willing to go for her i don't know that's yeah there's one more alternative too where if you just crush it so hard at every other aspect of your life wow no one can tell you what to do you know what i mean like if you're just 150 million dollars yeah control yeah yeah if you like are elon musk you're like look it's like i can smoke weed yeah yeah yeah the proof's in the pudding if you start calling yourself the chives so either be elon musk or acquiesce and be like

i'll stop smoking bud i'll just have to watch transformers maybe so yeah i'll stop smoking weed but you do have to call me the chives yeah all right i got a list of demands here all right what up brothers chad the sultan of chill Chill, and JT, the Fuhrer of Dankness, Strider Joe, and any other godfathers of Stoke. Been listening since day one. Fuck Puzio. I want to get your take on when in your life you should even consider settling down with a girl for good

and wifing her up. I'm 24, and I've had two different two-year-long relationships at this point. I've probably dated 10 girls total. I've never kept in contact with my exes after we break up and I've never been dumped. Sweet. Undefeated. Again, great, great detail.

Undefeated, never lost. But we need the context, I guess. Yeah. I've always been the one to break up with her. Anyways, I moved across the country, so I had to cut things off with my latest girl. But the thing is, she still lives with my parents. Whoa. That's right.

She's renting the guest room in my parents' house. This meant that I still have to acknowledge her existence, for instance, when I FaceTime my parents. Acknowledge her existence. Dude. This guy's pissed, dude. This guy's so mad at his parents. He's like, why did you let Becky move in? Dad's like, Becky's chill.

He's like, Dad, you're supposed to be on my side. I FaceTime my parents. She's there sometimes. I do love this girl and she loves me. But the reason I moved across the country is for work. I need to get my career started and feel at this time in my life that that should be my priority. Am I wrong? Should I try long distancing with this girl?

At what stage of my life should you give up the ghost of dating around and have your mind said i'm rendezvousing with the final boss of bomb genetics and popping out some little stokers on your own appreciate any response cheers rico oh yeah his name's rico rico well you clearly aren't in love with this girl like nothing in the email made me think that you really want to be with her i think he just't you say he just broke up? Yeah. Yeah. So he could move across the country. He said 10 relationships and he's 24. That's nuts. Yeah, 10 relationships. What a beast.

This guy's a serial dater. Dude, the fact that you could break up with 10 people in that small amount of time at that age, you're a- It sounds like he's just like, we can have, he's like, dump you. Don't dump me. You should be running like the Amazon warehouses. You got that kind of mentality, dude. Head of Amazon logistics at age 24.

Just got a job. They can work all day, dude. They're good. I just moved out of my parents' house to run Bezos' logistics out in Seattle, Washington. It sounds like he's turning his mindset into a grind set right now and i i encourage that i am and maybe this is just because i'm like perpetually single and like haven't had a real relationship ever but like career comes first for me in the absence of nothing else career comes first i'm in agreement though because these are like you know it's not like

the olden days when you got married at like 25 yeah it's like it's like take your time yeah i always i always had the mentality too of like establish a career especially with you know entertainment it can be so you know you're just like a comic doing open mics i wanted to like have some something legitimate so yeah i think i think take your time and also you know it doesn't it doesn't seem like he's in love with her so you know what it sounds like he's got to learn to love himself first yeah there's the answer and i think he's and that's going to come through establishing a career yeah being secure getting stock options at amazon yeah yeah kind of being secure with yourself where you are and where you're at.

That's it. The right time is when you are sure enough about yourself to make sure that you can be with another person. You guys, I'm engaged. I want to talk about it. I have been dating I'm engaged to the same girl. We started seeing each other when I was

about to turn 25. How old are you now? I'm 31. So same girl we started seeing each other when I was 20 I was about to turn 25 well I'm 31 so Rico's right there yeah Rico's about right there and but we dated for six years before I proposed what did she think when he switched into doing the Friday beer stuff it's just could not be have been more supportive because she had this is a whole point of like discovering who you are and even as chad was saying like finding a path that is suiting you i mean uh i don't have to i'm not trying to you know make it a bigger thing but i had a very good job before i started friday beers i could have gone on that path but that wasn't the path i wanted right so i knew before i was going to make any decision that was seriously life you know changing or binding in a personal way like i

wanted to be on my path that i was like i'm fulfilling myself in other changing or binding in a personal way like i wanted to be on my path that i was like i'm fulfilling myself in other ways yeah like in a professional way or whatever and that took a long time and i i you know we yeah we dated for six years before i proposed yeah that's so nice sorry yeah i think it's um it's crazy too the the older i get you know just how much you develop and and in like even even when I was, like, young because I was, like, introverted, people would be like, just be yourself. And I'm like, I don't know what that is. Yeah, we don't know who you are.

Yeah, I'm like, I don't know who I am. And so I'm so glad, yeah, that I've sort of taken my time with all that stuff because I matured so much more slowly. I think you've got to recalibrate every, you know, take stock of that every day, frankly. But like, I felt like I didn't know who I was in high school and college. Toward the end of college, I was like, now I feel confident. Right. Now I'm comfortable with who I am in college.

Yeah. After college, I didn't know who I was again. Right. And I was posing as like an investment banker and I got out of there and then I got to New York. So I was like, now I'm starting to feel more like who I am yeah four years later I was like this isn't who I am either right pushing for it like and then I you know kept kept trying to explore other directions and kept asking myself like is this it is this it and you know it'll probably be different in five years in less to a lesser degree yeah but it really is like Max said like you you take an assessment of like

who you are before you can be comfortable with another person totally right yeah and also if you if you really sort of create your life the life you want then the right person will come along yeah into your life and that's why enterprise rental car is great because they give you the opportunity to be your own boss dude i was gonna do literally you took the words out of my mouth that is exactly what i was thinking about yeah um great ref you want to do the next part of this thing chat who's your beef of the week my beef of the week for the week is um my circadian rhythm dude dude i my my sleep cycles, I mean, if I had a regular job, it'd be perfect. Dude, I've been waking up at like 5 a.m. every day. 5? All night?

I don't know. A lot of it is because I've been vaping. And I wake up and my... You need to vape? What's up? You need to vape? Yeah. Well, I have a very addictive personality so i

always have to you know fucking like drinking i have to cut it for a little bit you know so i'll wake up at like five and like and like my heart will already be racing because not that i've been vaping but in my mind it's like it's like tuned up ready for it you know yeah and so and so i'm like i can't go back to sleep i have a buddy like that yeah you had to wake up like 5 a.m it is vape and go back to bed yeah i will say though even if you weren't vaping you'd probably be waking up at like six i naturally yeah i naturally wake up at like 6 a.m so i have to go to bed at like you know 10 30 i gotta get eight i love getting eight me too yeah yeah yeah i'm like six to seven i'd say but it's good if you can get six yeah and be energized yeah and so you got eight the other night though right i got eight the other night

it's because i didn't vape the night yeah so i'm i'm actually i'm putting my calendar i'm quitting tomorrow i've been talking about this a lot on the pod, but now I'm putting it out there, so I got to stick to it. Your circadian rhythms are also off because of your dipping. It's not because of my dipping. It's because I got to watch TV before I go to bed. Right. So I'll wake up at 5 a.m. and have to put Family Guy back on.

Really? Can you hit me with a little wrist action? What do you mean? From when you're packing your lip. Oh, yeah. Dude, what are you, a skull? Look at look how solid that is can we get that on one more time for the camera yes i got long fingers too wow i see i can't do it are you a skull copenhagen guy i'm a grizzly wintergreen oh whoa dude i always liked canadians when i was coding bro grizzly wintergreen it's like it's in a league of its own. Skull and Copenhagen are peasants compared to this product.

How long into dating before you pack a lip in front of someone? I could tell a story about this. I'm pretty open about it. What's the story? The dip spit story? Oh, yeah. You want to tell it? Yeah, I could tell.

I mean, so I'm pretty, I could tell. I mean, so pretty. This is the grossest thing I've ever heard. This girl slept over, and I couldn't fall asleep, so I put a lip. To fall asleep with a lip in, to me, is ridiculous. You sleep with it in? I didn't mean to. I fell asleep, and then I woke up, and I was drooling all night. So there was a huge puddle of dip spit on the pillow next to her head. And she didn't say a word.

She was like, cool with it and i was like all right this chick's cool my friend my friend's like a beat like handsome competent dude like girls always liked him and i remember he had a serious girlfriend he's like dude she's a good chick and i was like how do you know he's like well the other night i got hammered and i pissed the bed and when i woke up she was cleaning the sheet she never brought it up in the morning someone who can accommodate for your degeneracy that weed guy there's girls like that out there

don't be so sure you're stuck I remember some of the girls in high school who played hockey would put dip in between their toes what? you put a slit in would they actually do that? inject that's disgusting

yeah dude what a horrible habit sounds yeah dude if i brought a girl home and she took off her sock and he's dipping her suck her toes and i'm like why don't you keep your socks on during set yeah why don't you pack a lip for me with that feet with that foot oh put that straight into my lip yeah thank you one time we made our friend george in high school pack a double mouth guard and he was just he couldn't move and he had to drool into this thing he's just like oh oh we're like that's good dude keep it going like how buzz are you he's like oh that's great um but yeah so i i i don't really have a beef with my sleep cycle i think it's pretty legit it's hard as a comic because people want you to stay up late but uh yeah i just got to get back on track that's my beef my lord who's your beef of the week uh dude my beef of the week is with my vizio tv this thing

sucks every time i come home long day at the office, I just want to toss on some tube, and it works like 75% of the time. Vizio, get him a new TV. And it's crazy, bro. It's like I have to unplug it, then I replug it, and then it turns on. Or the clicker won't work, and then I'll have to put the batteries back in.

So it's like I can't identify the exact issue. But it's not too much of an inconvenience where I call in the geek squad because sometimes it eventually will work, but it's just a hassle to turn on. Oh, that's the worst. So I'm like, dog, you've got to start working consistently. I'm going to lose my mind. And as I just said, I need that digital Xanax.

Watching TV puts me to sleep. Without it, I'm just... yeah so like i rely and as i just said like i need that digital xanax like yeah watching tv puts me to sleep yeah without it i'm just why don't you get a noise machine because i need i need a dot it's actually it's a psychological thing we're like i'm i know i'm the same way dude i listen to books it's a comforting to know i've seen these shows so many times that if i'm listening to an episode of the office and i know like the dialogue it dialogue, it's like a blanket of comfort that puts me to sleep. It's weird. No, it makes perfect sense. I'm the same way.

I sleep on my couch every day. I don't sleep in my bed. Dude, I'm a big couch guy, yeah. Yeah, I like that it's open out there. I didn't sleep on a bed. Every night? Every night. Last night, I forced myself to sleep in the bed,

but I would say 90% of the time, I sleep on my couch. Yeah. That's awesome. I'll crawl into bed at like six in the morning when I wake up, but I can't fall asleep a mega bed right at El couch and just shove the twin bed so it's like mega bed it's amazing yeah oh mega beds yeah Jack he's your beef of the week oh yeah my beef of the week is Kobe beef sliders I went to for the July party last Saturday and they were serving Kobe beef sliders and little bitty burgers.

Pop them in. Delicious. That's awesome. Fucking awesome. Yeah. Dude, my beef of the week is, I'm sorry. I love when someone's beef

is actual beef. It's good, dude. I was thinking about my beef of the week being the carne asada tacos, but they're vegan tacos. Where from? From the little spot

next to Groundwork Coffee. Oh, the juice spot. What's that juice place called? Juice factory? It's like the juice place. Juice place? Yeah. Juice spot.

Dude, my beef of the week is with this dude on Instagram who messaged me saying that my Instagram stories with Joe Mauricio are weak. Oh, they're the best. Sorry, and he went into really deep criticism about it. He was like real asshole about it. So I looked at his profile page and it was him like in nature saying like,

how much a mountain meant to him or something. And so he's like, I'm bailing. I was like, sweet, later dude. And I was like, by the way, your sincere posts about nature are boring and I bet you are too. And then, yeah, because I wanted to inject in him the same self-consciousness he

was trying to put in me yeah but then i almost went farther but i didn't or further rather because he's got a son and a wife you know i was like i was like i wasn't gonna pick on them but i was like well like my dad would never do that like my dad's not a like my dad wouldn't just talk to people online yeah he was busy doing things so i wanted to go i want to go i feel sorry for your son that he's being raised by such a pussy jesus dude i was pissed you're also you're also anti-nature guy and i don't like nature oh cool the mountains there's like another like per se post about the mountains but like you know it means so much to me to be able to get out in the tetons and really decompress yeah like anyone gives a fuck, dude. Ever been to Vegas? You been to Vegas or Miami?

No, you haven't, dude, because you're a freaking dork. Who likes the river? Oh, I caught a rainbow trout. Yeah, because people don't like you, dude. That's why you have fun with fish.

In Greenwich, he was the resident chill guy.

Henry Kittle, surfer bro, impeccable swag. Let's see if he picks up. But if not, he's my legend of the week. Yeah, get him close to the mic. Is he not going to pick up? He's probably surfing. Is he surfing? Oh, that's legit. Assuming he's surfing because that's his chill guy swag everywhere.

No, he's not cool, and he's bad as an actor. Really? He's a beast writer. Oh, yeah. Because I saw it with someone else first. When I saw the musical, it was someone different, and the dude was a beast. But then when I saw it with. With the stand-in? Yeah. It was like someone different. And the dude was a beast. But then when I saw it with... With the stand-in?

Yeah, it was like his understudy or whatever. But then when I saw the Disney film version of the original cast, I was like, dude, Lin-Manuel sucks. He's not cool. He doesn't have a cool bone in his body. His Twitter is so cringy, dude. It's like the self-motivating, but he's so overly happy. It's like, dude, shut up-motivating but like he's like so overly happy it's like

Not Rushmore. It's still a dream come true, for sure. Well, man, I love you. Talk soon. Love you guys. Love you too, man. Love you too. Chad, what's your quote of the week?

My quote of the week relates back to the bicep thing. It's from my dad. My dad, one day, comes up to me. He's like, did you see Jason Statham doing pull-ups and death race i was like yeah it was awesome fully extensive i imagine he goes all the way down dude yeah he's fucking like this yeah like in prison it's awesome i just love the fact that they wrote that in jason statham doing pull-ups dude if your actor can do pull-ups you gotta make time for a shot yeah like ben affleck in the town

and he directed oh yeah crushes those yeah that was he had a little bit of a door gym situation going as i recall in the in the in the town like it's like kind of room gym yeah that was a commercial that i don't forget what that uh product was called but they had the greatest ads like in the town. It's like kind of room gym. I remember that was a commercial. I forget what that product was called, but they had the greatest ads. Like, you got a door, you got a gym. It's just like something that you put in your doorway. My boy Joe broke the top of my door off and dropped like four feet to his knees.

I remember seeing him drop in slow motion like he was in Die Hard. It was the hardest I've ever laughed. Joe Maurice? No, Joe Pelazon. He landed on his knees and started screaming yeah it was so funny

dude those things ruin your doors you can't use those things all the time yeah well she got some towels you got dough you got dough

who's your quote of the week or what's your quote of the week go back to it control what you can yeah I think that's

resonated well with everyone here yeah I agree my quote of the week is sort of a quote it's basically the english national anthem it's what i've been like i've been looking up the lyrics and singing it

because i'm so stoked on england playing in the euro cup final first final since 1966 it's so it gets me so happy to think about those english people like looking forward to this for like their entire lives and they're the most pumped football fans in the world and they have this moment so it's either it's coming home or just uh god save our noble queen long may she reign that's a beautiful bass let's. Let's go. I want to be, you know, they show the players arms around each other and they play the anthem at the beginning of the matches and they're just singing.

And there's like grown men weeping in the stands. Like I need that emotion. I'm like, I'm going to go to a pub on, on Sunday and watch the, that'd be amazing. Yeah. It's going to be good.

Checking him in that book real quick. My quarter weeks from this, it's a book about the band, replacements and uh they were wild cards like if they knew like record execs were in the audience they couldn't help but like throw the concert they would just make it a mess that like their snl uh appearance never got aired because they were too hammered a little gg allen ask yeah for sure but i think they're just like renegades they're kind of self-destructive establishment i think they wanted success but i think they also had like self-esteem issues and came from like problematic backgrounds but i also think they had a need to be authentic and

it was a mix of things but they're legends because their songwriting is really sensitive but then their performances were so like intense um but this is what uh someone said about their shows whether the show is going to be good or bad was almost left up to fate. Their collective energy was a living, breathing thing that they didn't have control over. Maybe sometimes they wish they could control it, but having that kind of control

would have taken away the magic. And I think that's why a lot of musicians and artists look up to them is because they really were so present. If the band was hostile, if the crowd was hostile, if the crowd was hostile, they would get more hostile than the crowd. Like they would play really boring ass country ballads just until all these

punks who thought they were bad-ass would be like, fuck you. Like you're not punk, but they were being the most punk cause they were never doing what anyone wanted. Yeah. And they were always kind of challenging the audience and themselves and stuff.

So I know I don't want, I'm not like that, but it fires me up. It's a good energy to know you could tap into occasionally right and that's the definition of zig when they exactly and it's also like the polar opposite of us for the pleasers oh i'm sorry what do you want what do you want yeah i'm like what do you need what do you need i'll do it for you yeah i'm the butterscotch stallion I'll leave your ass dude just let me look at that Aaron

I need to get into it. We used to go to our dad's softball games growing up. Oh, really? It was a blast. Carlson and Carlson. I want to play.

with like my ego and like I'm just an organism in a scrum called the universe, but like, I came up to him, I was like, dude, thanks for having me.
