And that's why I like Being in town to You know Do acting stuff is great I mean they're synonymous Acting and stand-up right It's like the more Obviously of each

Like hopefully things Grow together but I mean I've been I was doing some shows With Sal You know Sal Vecano From the Tactical Jokers Doing some shows With him this weekend And then coming here and then go to Memphis tomorrow to keep doing Young Rock.

And it's a little crazy, but it's also like, you know, you guys know this too. It's like you work to get busy so that, and then you're as busy as you like want to be. And then you're like, fuck, maybe it's too much. Like, I don't want to die at 42. Well, that's the thing, man. It's like, you know, there's two different types of people, I guess. The people who are just like more and more and more. Because there's a point where, you know, if you asked yourself like 18 months, two years, five years ago, whatever.

Yeah. You'd be like, all right, if I reach this, I'm done. I'm good. Yeah. And you get there and you're like, all right, what's next, you know? Exactly. And even like last night, I shouldn't have done shows and gone out drinking. But I was like, I fucking like went in for Carpe Diem, dude.

Right? Get a donor kebab in the morning and and then but also just like being in a place like this and then when you have the opportunities to do like you know fun shows that like you know I hadn't been to the cellar in a while so I wanted to you know I don't know I have a tough time saying no I was just good I got that vibe from you right away when you were like well I wasn't so good supposed to go out drinking, but I went out drinking. Yeah. I fucking, we were talking about this like last, maybe two episodes ago.

We're like, I'd gone out like every night for like a month and a half straight because people just, it had not been my idea once. By the way, are you a member of the O'Doyle rules family? Because you have a fun loving, like, yes, and I'll do anything. I've never seen anybody like, we'll, we'll be up like, you, and, I'll do anything. Take my dick out of my mouth. I've never seen anybody, like, we'll be up, like, you know, like, beginning of the day, we're both like, oh, my God, dragon. I cannot wait. Like, all we got to do is get to, like, 11 p.m. the show, and the meet and greet will be done, and then we can get back to the hotel.

Yes. And then 11 rolls around, and somehow he's like, we're going to the bar. Find a second win. Yeah, yeah. Fall takes us every. You know what it was? We were at the after party already. We were at like a rooftop bar.

And we were like standing in a circle, like kind of like dancing, kind of just like. And I said, I just said I was going to order food. And that's all you needed for a second wind. You were like. Oh, yeah. Knowing that food was coming. I don't even remember you saying it. I just showed you my phone.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I said, put your order in. Just handed me a phone. And I was like. Also, everybody has that friend that's good at tugging at the heartstrings. The right heartstrings. I just showed you my phone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just handed me a phone. And I was like, what's up? Also, everybody has that friend that's good at tugging at the heartstrings, the right heartstrings. Like, even the first time I did mushrooms, I didn't even want to do them.

And my buddy, it was just like a Sunday night in college, and he was like, hey, man, shrooms tonight? I was like, fucking no, man. And then he was like, come on. I was like, all right, and look at it from that angle. That's a good argument. I hadn't thought of come on. Yeah, come on is a great, yeah, are you in a debate squad? That was a

Great compromise That's all it takes Yeah man Well big fan Thanks for having me Yeah absolutely Young Rock I'd imagine Is a good gig to

Yeah It's cool It's You know obviously Dwayne's story is Pretty bonkers It's so funny how like I think the first taste of my like

I didn't realize How much work went into Who the person was Was the Seinfeld documentary comedian. You ever watch that? No. Oh, Seinfeld did this documentary where he basically, a real loose slice of life where he's starting to build back an hour, and it's all around New York City, and it's, you know. It's on Netflix, right? I think so.

It was shot in, like, 98, 97, so it looks, it's not like pristine footage um but it's him in the clubs at the cellar at gotham broadway comedy club and he's building his hour back and it was the first time i was like oh like he doesn't just walk up there and have do i don't know what i was thinking but to get your fingers exactly but to see him actually like put in the work and become like great again and just kind of you know um you know put one foot in front of the other so so duane i mean same thing where you go oh yeah the rock he's always been like you know always had his own tequila and been been this much of a juggernaut but um the story of how he uh you know really got um you know went from you know want to be in the nfl and then didn't work out

in college and then uh from some injuries and then wrestling and then his dad's kind of uh you know path that kind of led him into it and kind of their relationship and and um just nothing's guaranteed man it's a lot of things wrestling though is so funny like like uh i i loved watching his era and but like stone cold made sense to me he was like fucking chugging beers middle finger to the boss fuck the man the rock and undertakers obviously this fucking undertaker character everyone's like kind of made sense the rock was like this weird dude that it was just like he just is great on the mic like his holy eyebrow the mutton chops oh yeah he was like flat wearing you know it wasn't it wasn't like a slam dunk character totally he just crushed it as as like

who i think he separated himself with like you, like being on the mic like that. And that's one thing we bonded over was he started, we started kind of sending voice notes back and forth when I first got cast about stand up. And he even shared one of my crowd work videos once. I was like, cool, man, if you want to do this like every other week, that would really boost my numbers. And he's like, brother, I love like the way you do crowd work. Like it's, you know, you have this hit him, hug him mentality where he's like, you got

to fuck with people. He's like, I love that you fuck with people, but you're not a dick about it. You're not trying to make them feel bad on the way out, which is's, you know, you have this hit them, hug them mentality where he's like, you got to fuck with people. He's like, I love that you fuck with people, but you're not a dick about it. You're not trying to make them feel bad on the way out, which is like, you know, what I've always tried to do. It's a very fine line. So he's like, you hit them and you hug them. He's like, you got to fuck with people, but you don't have to make them like wish they didn't go out that night. And he's like, I love crowd work because when I was in the ring, he's like, that was my favorite part.

It was straight out of the script. And I'm like, dude, that's how you became, really kind of made a name for yourself too. Dude, getting down with the guy. Throw around voice notes with Rock. First of all, just dropping Dwayne's on us. I'm like, dude, that's how you became, really kind of made a name for yourself, too. Dude, getting down with the guy. Throw around voice notes with Rock. First of all, just dropping Dwayne's on us. I know, going Dwayne. It's such a move. It's not a DJ, but there's DJ Tanner, there's DJ Johnson.

But, you know, you pick which one has more set in mind. That's a guy. I haven't met Vince yet. I want to. I don't know if that's going to happen. But that guy seems like he's in his bubble. Do you know who Rob Brindamore is? I thought you were going to just call Vince right now.

Who's Rob Brindamore? He's the head coach of the Carolina Hurricane. Okay. Former NHL player. And he gave an interview last night, like a post-period interview kind of deal. And he walked away. And it's the most Vince Strutt I've ever seen in my life. Watch his walk down the hallway.

I thought you were going to show me two girls, one cup. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. That's him walking to the ring. Watch his walk down the hallway. I thought you were going to show me two girls, one cup. Oh, yeah. That's like the 100th and for sure he knows what he's doing. Brindamore is like Vince McMahon. He's like the biggest hard-o around. He's like 55 years old

fucking shredded. Probably one of the most jacked guys in the NHL right now. That was always Vince, man. The old man chest and body. Oh, yeah. I try to beef up my shoulders for this season. But if we go into another one and it's truly the era where he's veining out. I don't know how much longer that plays.

My mom was like, are you going to shoot up? I was like, I'm going to think about it. How do you learn a rule like that? I'll give you shoot-up instructions. I've done them. Have you really? I've done steroids, not shot up. Wow.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's fun, bro. It's fun. You should do steroids, dude. Strongly recommend it. It's going to be a hard pass. Seems like it hasn't affected you at all. All right, quick little pause to hear from our boys over at Movement.

Is it really? Yeah, it's the Evermore folklore sweater. Had to wear it today for good vibes to get tickets. By the way, it looks great. Thank you. No part of me thought that was a woman's sweater. I mean, it today for good vibes to get tickets. By the way, it looks great. Thank you. No part of me thought that was a woman's sweater. I mean,

a large part of me did. That's okay. Let me rephrase. No part of me was judging you for wearing a woman's sweater. It's a very seamless transition. I'll be straight up the buttons on the wrong side.

For sure a female sweater. I've actually never buttoned it before and this morning I was like, what the fuck is going on? Bro, I think I preferred buttoned. I preferred buttoned. Like I now have a whole stance on it. It is like it falls off a lot when it's not a button. When it's switched though, I was like, what the fuck is going on? Bro, I think I preferred buttoned. I preferred buttoned. I now have a whole stance on it.

It falls off a lot when it's not buttoned. When it's switched though, it's like I'm like, oh. It's actually a custom sweater so it's not women's or men's, but I don't know why the buttons are on the wrong side. Who got you that? My sister got it for my birthday. Did she make it? She had someone she knows knit it.

But that person definitely thought it was for a woman. I don't think so. I mean, she knew my size no my sister told her it's for my brother thank you because the the taylor the official sweater has a lot of silver stars on it she took that off by the way this is when your audience is tuning out by the way um you asked me when i got the job it's a funny story actually so i auditioned for it and then the rock actually started following me on instagram one day because i posted this you know once covet hit it was about late March and I was like fuck man like there was truly we gotten past that hurdle of like oh we might not perform again there were definitely a handful of comics at least I was talking to that you know are pretty active that were like fuck man like there's there was just no sign of like July things

are you know it was truly I'm sure you guys felt that too where you're like oh is there gonna be no entertainment business which was a crazy thing to you know we came back in july you did yeah yeah yeah kind of ignored everything no testing no wait what was going on again yeah we were back full in office in july yeah i always thought kova 2 sounded like the name of an autistic kid that toby mcguire was gonna play in a movie someday um so i wasn't too afraid of it But when it shut down I was like I gotta start posting more Just stuff

More content Just to kind of like Do whatever Even if it's just little jokes Or whatever So I saw this article About Gwyneth Paltrow Selling her vagina candles

Oh yeah And they sold out In like 12 minutes So I was like Oh who's the male equivalent That should like Get on this now So I made some post about it

And said you know Rock you should get some You know dick and ball candles going and i never tagged the person in it so i tagged them in it it's pretty baked and i was just like whatever this is kind of funny and it started getting a lot of um you know because it was right when it went up so it was almost like i was breaking news with just the the the item itself and and people start commenting on it and then i started getting all these dms being like hey how do you know the rock and i was like well everybody, everybody knows The Rock. And then I look at the comments, and then he had commented like, you know, brother, like, I've been trying to get that going, but I keep dipping my balls or burning my balls in the wax. Blah, blah, blah.

Big fan. Keep it up. And then he looked at it. He followed me. And so then I fucking threw a Hail Mary on first down. I was like, you want to do my podcast? And the fucking radio silence for like eight months. And I was like, fuck, dude.

I jumped the gun and then I randomly get this like five minute voice note from him on my birthday as I'm home in Seattle opening socks for my mom and stepdad. Shout out to George

and it's like from him and I was like, get the fuck out of here. He's apologizing for not getting back sooner. Never checks his DMs. Man, been following you for a bit.

You're hilarious. Just real sweet words and then like, you know, let me know when things come down. Let's get some Terramana and then again,'m just like here's my number man like i can fly back tonight if you want you know and then uh and then literally anything you want you are in the

driver's seat dude you want to go rob a baskin robbins i'm in and so then i then i um we kind of stayed in touch and i got the audition and then i went to um chapelle he was doing that that camp in Ohio that little uh where his compound was doing a bunch of shows so I went for a weekend and uh and I had sent an audition in and then I'm literally uh um uh you know taking taking a poo and I get a uh um text from him that says yo it's DJ call me back so I was like all right I'll call him right now so I call him and he's just like give me your best vince mcmahon impression and i was just like you're fired and i did that and he was like congrats brother you got the job and then we talked for like two hours man really about like comedy and sports and like single mom life and like i mean it was crazy dude like the guy i felt like i'd known for 30 years i mean it was like a really like oh it was very uh uh overwhelming as

how just chilly was. I'm like, how are you doing? You know, and even having an opportunity to like fan out or whatever was not even there because it was just like, we just jumped around like the way that we're talking right now. Like if he was sitting right here, like he'd just be a part of the, I'm surprised you lasted. Like if that was me, I would, I'd get so nervous. Like I could stand to the conversation. I would try and get out. I would not last. That's enough. Every, every window I had. All right. I'd get so nervous. I'd get stands in the conference. I would try and get out.

I would not last. That's enough. Every window I had, I'd be like, all right, I'll catch you later. You don't want to overstay your welcome. I don't want to take up your time. I know you're a busy man. Well, no, no. I did that probably three or four times.

Yeah. I was like, all right, one more thing, one more thing. But then whatever it was, he like – and I think he had the time. More often than not, does not have the time for that. But it was the initial call to. It's good that, like, you know, I would imagine someone of his caliber can do a million projects, slap his name on something, and it'll be a success, you know, regardless. He might be cool to know that he's late. There might be multiple.

I think at this point you've added to a laundry list of people who I've run into who've had some connection to. Oh, this is real. I'm just saying, everybody I've ever met who's known him is like he's got glowing things to say. And I am just trying to get somebody to say one bad thing about him. Nobody will. Nobody can. We're at the point where I have no other choice. It's the only logical conclusion.

He has to be a serial killer. Like there has to be something that balances it all out. And then behind closed doors, he's a mass murderer. Yeah. Because nobody can just be that cool, successful, rich, hot, strong. I mean, look at Will. And nice. Will Smith had us all going for a while.

It was like one little slip up. But even Will Smith had, there were the Scientology rumors. Oh, that's right. There's a little something. That's right. There's nothing with Dwayne. There's nothing with Dwayne. He's just fucking cool.

Yeah. All the way around. All the way around. And you never hear about, except for Vin Diesel, the only person that there's even a little tiff with. And I'm pretty sure everyone is just sighted. Who doesn't have a tiff with Vin Diesel? Come on.

Where's my Vin Diesel cam? Yo, Vin, you didn't accept my Facebook friend request, man. What the fuck, dude? Oh, I think that's wrong. He has the most Facebook friends. Yeah, he dominates Facebook. He's like the... Oh, he does?

Yo, he was like the Facebook... He was like the first guy ever on Facebook. He was like the first celebrity to embrace Facebook. What? He has like... I'm going to check his friends right now. Vin Diesel was like the Facebook... There was a time...

Don't you get capped at 5,000? No, no, no. His fan page. His fan page, no no there was a time where I think he was like the biggest face dude he was like if he was like almost like an internet troll before like trolls were a thing where he was like just post like videos on Facebook of him just like singing Rihanna alone in a room and people like hell yeah so he's on there be like yo hit me up me up. I respond to all my DMs. Is that Vin Diesel or Stallone? I can't tell.

Yo, yo. You're not going to guess, bro, how many fucking. Let me guess. It's in the millions for sure if he's got the most. Where is the, where is it? Okay, I got it. How many followers has Vin Diesel had on Facebook? Oh, I want to say 20 million.

106. Wow. That's a large ass country man Is that why he put out an album He just was like Trying to capitalize Yeah I think so Did you ever listen to it Singing

Dude he had one song I listened to one song That kind of went It was kind of like a vibe I wouldn't fuck to it But I definitely showered to it Dude the one that The one that played on

Kelly Clarkson live Yeah it was I was kind of like Alright Can Diesel have performed His song in front of Kelly Clarkson. Do you know what she was going through on the inside? Being like, fuck, dude. There are downsides to having your own show.

Where you think you get to make all the bookings and call all the shots. Listen, you bite your tongue, man. Vin Diesel is royalty in this room, right? That's one guy we should aspire to get on. Bro, 1,000%. He would be a trip, man. I mean, another guy where you just go, fuck, dude. Is royalty in this room Right That's one guy We should aspire To get a hunt Yeah Bro 1000% He would be a trip

I mean Another guy where you just go Fuck dude I mean like You get to a certain point Like That's why I never knocked You know

When like Even Lindsay Lohan Was trying to do an album Or all these people It's like Dude you get to Or even some of these You know

Steve-O who's a good bud When he started jumping Into stand up You know Most comics are like Yeah fucking go for it The work It's one of those professions

Where there's no replacement For the work So it's like If you think you're gonna ride You have to You have to put in the hours Hit the road Get in sets around town

Your celebrity will You know get you a nice boost But there's still You can't get laughs Based on that Dude Tyler had One of our buddies Had like a

Twitter thread recently Of all like the people Who got albums in the 90s Oh my god It's crazy Oh god Like all the actors You're saying If you're a albums in the 90s. Oh, my God. It's crazy. Oh, God. All the actors you're saying. If you're a celebrity in the 90s, you had an album.

It was crazy. Like names you wouldn't even like. Jessica Simpson, right? Athletes. Athletes had albums. Yeah, no, it wasn't even singers. It was just like people. Do you know Joe Pesci's got an album?

Get the fuck out of here. You know Tim McCarver, the baseball commentator? Don't just skip over Joe. He's got a musical album. Don't just skip over the sentence, do you know Joe Pesci has an album, and then go right to Tim McCarver, the baseball commentator? Don't just skip over Joe Pesci. He's got a musical album. Don't just skip over the sentence, do you know Joe Pesci has an album, and then go right to Tim McCarver. Jesus Christ, as if that was a bigger deal.

Wait, you don't know Joe Pesci's music? Yeah, put it up. Tim McCarver has a band? We'll have to cut it out. Dude, he has a jazz album. He's one of my favorite commentators. Tim McCarver's the best. I mean, Harry Connick makes sense,

because I think he was a singer and actor at the same time. Maybe singer first. I'm going to pull up the thread right now. Yeah, here it is. Okay. Especially just singing like feelings. Not that. Is it just like covers or what's he doing?

Jeremy Renner, you know, he's got an album. Oh, yeah. Heaven don't have a name. I'm going to look at this. Dennis Quaid, Kevin Bacon. I'm pretty sure Joe Pesci has multiple albums. Yeah, I bet he does. Yeah, that's the one.

That's the one I saw. I saw that cover. Oh, my God. Dude, I mean, you could do this with – Cole Beasley has an album. Kobe has an album. Tony Parker has an album. I remember Kobe had a song, K-O-B-E, with Tyra Banks on it. Awesome.

That song was a banger. Imagine that. Oh, Jackie Chan's got an album called The Boy's Life. Turn it on. Turn it on. Turn it on. This is a song called – Saturdays for the Boys by Jackie Chan.

Baby Girl by Joe Pesci. I imagine he's just doing music, right? Is he singing too? He's doing himself a huge disservice. Maybe everyone should get an album. I mean, Tony Danza has an album. He's a jazz stand-up. It does make sense.

A lot of people, you grow up in the industry. If you're really in the industry, you probably were like, I've got to be a singer. I've got to be a dancer. I've got to be a triple threat. I've got to be this, that. And then maybe you find your lane. You're like probably were like, I gotta be a singer. I gotta be a dancer. I gotta be a triple threat. I gotta be this, that. And then maybe you find your,

your, you know, your lane and you're like, all right, I'll just do mob movies. Yeah. But it's like, that doesn't mean I can't.

It's like when you find out your favorite, uh, like comedy actor actually like went to Juilliard and is like classically totally. And it's like, Oh, I thought you were just like Robin Williams, man.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Crazy. I just saw your Dwayne tweet back there next year. Uh, next year, Camille was Camille in here too. Yeah. Amazing. I met her, umwayne tweet back there. Next year, was Camille in here too?

Yeah. Amazing. I met her when Mark Sanchez and I had a sports comedy podcast for Showtime Sports. Short-lived. And then Showtime was just like, you know, we don't need the comedy. Let's just have Mark talk X's and O's. Big bummer. It was a lot of fun.

But we went down to the Super Bowl and did Miles Teller and a bunch of guys and Camille. Camille's awesome. Couldn't have been cooler. And taught us how to do the, it was a fun thing. The, the model face where it was like the, with the,

what was the whole thing? It was like, it was kind of like squint your eyes and then act like you were like hungry and then put your lips together and then think about like your dad and a weird, I don't know. Whatever the way to get there was like, um, she had a whole formula to it.

Yeah. But cool as shit. For her, it's also just like, yeah, I mean, there's no, I think she was trying to like, you know, just give us something to it. Yeah, I'm sure. But cool as shit. For her, it's also just like. Yeah, I mean, there's no. This is the mama face.

I think she was trying to like. This is how I do it. You know, just give us something to do. Yeah. Yeah. This show is sponsored by BetterHelp. Unfortunately, life doesn't come with a user manual. So when it's not working for you, it's normal to feel stuck.

It is actually very awesome when you're in therapy and you're talking to your therapist and they get you better than you get you. It's a really, uh, relieving and kind of aha moment.

Like, Oh, all right. It's not, I'm not crazy. I'm not out of this world. Like people understand me. People,

I am having emotions that people get. I don't feel as, as out of control as I usually do. Um, as the world's largest therapy service, better help has matched 3 million people with professionally licensed and vetted therapists available 100% online. Plus, it is affordable.

There are no waiting rooms, which is always awkward. I don't know if you've been in inpatient therapy. I don't know if that's exactly what it's called, but in-person therapy.

The waiting rooms can get a little awkward, particularly if you're in a practice with multiple therapists. Kind of just looking around the room like, what's this guy got? There's no traffic, no endless searching for the right therapist. Learn more and save 10% off your first month

because it's just so blatantly obvious that it's a market that it could thrive in, yet it was taken away and then has not been expanded back into. Yeah, it sucks. You want to talk about my parents' divorce next? But yeah, it was awful. If you could fix which one which would it be give me sam perkins i'll take sam perkins over the reconcile of my folks marriage any day of the week uh give me

detlef schrempf john kemp gary payton bro let's go that it was uh i mean basketball's my favorite sport obviously i got um you know more into uh football. I went to SC during the Pete Carroll years, right? So, old and old five. And then he came up to Seattle and turned our shit around. And I became more of always an NFL fan. But basketball was what I played and what I wanted to go pro in. I got a bunch of dumb jokes about it, about being quick fat. You know, I was like a fat ex.

You know, my coach called me Krispy Kreme Abdul-Jabbar. And I was dominant, though. Like, truly, like, there was this game. I should tell this whole story. We were playing this all-black team from Linwood, and we matched up in this tournament, and I must have had, like, you know, 20, you know, 10 and 8, and I hit the skyhook from about 12 feet out

to put us up by, like, 6 to win the game, and I'm jiggling down court. My titties are hitting me in the face. I smell like Pop-Tarts and mac and cheese when I sweat, and the coach of the opposing team goes, man, that fat motherfucker's killing us. And I'm like, I think he's talking about me because I do have a triple-double. I'm about to smash a double-double. And so when the Supes left.

And so, you know, obviously when you're a kid and that's your sport, whatever the pro version of that. Is that what you called them, the Supes? Oh, yeah. I never, like, wondered. Did I just say that without? Yeah. But wait, did you call them that or everybody called in that everyone's seattle yeah the soups yeah interesting and uh you know i had kemp on my podcast about last night i went to uh kemp's

weed store in seattle and did a whole two-hour pot with them gp's done it um uh it's uh those guys are so are such legends and are so you know they've definitely were fucking good bro they just ran into MJ Didn't they win like almost 60 games? We had like 9 seasons in a row Of 58 to 60 plus wins What sucks And GP talks about this

On end Is that they didn't run it back that year after Kemp had 26-12 in the finals And then they couldn't pay everybody They could have done some things different. They actually probably could have stepped up and paid Kemp, but because they both needed to get paid, and they just paid Gary,

Kemp knew he wasn't going to get what he... He got paid in Cleveland. And so I don't judge him. It's like he had to go get his money. But the fact that the Sonics, the organization didn't go, we just were a game away from, or two games away from winning the finals,

and this team finally got over the playoff on his cooking, bring it all, because everyone came back except for Kemp, and then we brought in Vin Baker and they started working at Starbucks and then, yeah, it was sad, man. And then they just got yanked away, right? Yanked away, man. It was like, it wasn't like, had attendance dropped,

like, was it a problem? No, it was because it always felt like, right away, the fans were like, what the fuck? It kept being, like, peppered out there where it was like, the team's problem? No, it was. Because it always felt like right away the fans were like, what the fuck? It kept being, like, peppered out there where it was like the team's going to go. And then this Oklahoma City owner came in and was like, David Stern owed him. Because he had taken the Thunder. Yeah, they'd taken, yeah, Stern, giant piece of shit. I mean, rest in peace, but also rest in hell.

But, like, no, the guy's fine. But he definitely had a big – Stern did a lot for the game. I'll give him that. But he fucked this up, man. And it was deliberate. He had a little bit of some animosity towards the city of Seattle because, you know, he came in trying to be like, yo, you guys should build a new arena. You've had this arena since 95.

Everyone's updating with, like, you know, not just just Panda Express But now we got fucking Katsuya's In all the arenas You gotta upgrade And Seattle was like We just did a football And baseball stadium We're not gonna tax the people On more shit

And Stern was like Well then fucking suck my dick And lick my ass And you know We'll see what happens I'm paraphrasing He didn't say that But he said something to that effect

And then Oklahoma City guy Had moved the Thunder I'm sorry the Hornets To Oklahoma City during Katrina Katrina's already fought for all this. They like thrived, right? Yeah. And then they thrived.

So Stern was like, dude, you saved us. I got you. And he's like, I want a team. And instead of just expanding, he's like, I'm going to make example of, of what you, of, of teams that don't want to step up. And so, and, uh, it was, but, and also a lot of things had to go down and Howard Schultz who, you know, starred Starbucks, bought the team. It was a hobby.

He fucking wasn't he was losing money and he found a guy that was going to give him a bunch of money back. But clearly had no intention of keeping the team here. He would propose these things like I want to build an arena in Auburn, Washington, which is like, what's three hours from here right now? See, sure. OK, let's say that. Let's say somebody is like, I'm going to fucking build a new arena for the Knicks and put's say that. Let's say somebody's like, I'm going to fucking build a new arena for the Knicks and put it in DC.

And you're like, huh? He's like, I tried. That's basically what he did. Because he was like, it's going to be the furthest away. And he was like, and it's $900 billion. And we're like, that's impossible. He's like, all right, well, I'm going to Oklahoma City then. Kind of what happened.

And pretty crazy. I didn't realize all that. I'm not much of a basketball guy. So I actually have always, I'm glad you explained this because I've always thought of Supersonics fans as like whiny little bitches. No, no, no. They got fucked. I'm almost like Rams fans. No one complains about the Rams

because no one went to the games. I love that you said that, by the way, as you kind of adjusted your sweater. I always thought of them as whiny little bitches. My woman sweater is kind of falling down. But no, I hear you. Didn't I always thought of them as whiny little bitches. Sorry, my woman sweater is kind of falling down. But, no, I hear you. Back up on my shoulders. Wasn't that – didn't Durant technically get drafted by the – Oh, yeah.

He played in Westbrook, man. Did he play a season or no? Durant was Rookie of the Year the first year. On the Sonics, right? And was just – What could have been, man? Oh, dude, we – I remember going to games back home over the holidays, which was always the best part about going back.

That time was hitting like three or four games and just being like, all right, we're on. This is the guy that's going to turn things around. Because now he's going to be the face of the league. And then other guys like Eddie Spor are going to want to come play with him. You know, anyway. Crazy. The whole thing's crazy. The whole thing's crazy.

Especially moving. I get like, you know, when they did the test with Katrina that like the city worked. But it's like, you don't need to have Oklahoma city represented, you know what I mean? No. It's like, yeah. It doesn't like they moved it to a major spot. Yeah. But I, yeah, that's, that's a heartbreaking. So did you pick up, did you follow them? I followed players and then I followed, um, I became somewhat, you know, I was in LA during the Kobe shack years.

And so it was fun to watch games consistently on TV all the time. Um, but now just follow players. It's hard to make that transition. like, once you're in college. But, yeah, once you're old enough, I feel like I couldn't – I could be like, I have a minor interest in – I feel like if my team moved once that regime, like, was gone, I'd be like, then I'm done. Yeah, it was –

I'll play it out with these guys that I've been rooting for, but then that's it. Exactly. And, I don't know, there was so much – it was also a nice break from, you know, the emotional wear and tear that comes with, like, watching your team so consistently. Like, even, like, when the Seahawks were so bad, it was nice to have, like, my Sundays open again. You know? And then with Russ, it was like, all right, I know we're probably, you know, probably not going back to the Super Bowl, but at least, like, every Sunday matters.

But there's so many things that I got to open myself up to. Like, you know, when I was in L.A so many things that I got to open myself up to. When I was in L.A., I always wanted to go to a taping of The Price is Right, and I went with a big group of guys, maybe 25 dudes. And you're guaranteed one guy if you go to get on contestants' row, if you go with 20 or more. So we go, and it was a primetime show. It was Bob Barker hosting, RIP. No, wait, Bob's still hosting.

No, I was still kicking. Yeah, Bob's one of the tricky ones. Everybody does that, by the way. Bob, just fucking, are you still kicking. Yeah, Bob's one of the tricky ones. Everybody does that, by the way. Yeah, yeah. Bob just fucking, are you still around? Like, prove it. I think Bob is a very smart man. Oh, brilliant.

I think Bob lays low. Because of why? I just think that Bob, Bob and his beauties and his, I just feel like the era he's from, I feel like it was bad that he just. Stay out of the limelight. Yeah, yeah. Dude, quiet. Because if Bob's out here. Let everyone think you're dead. Yeah, right. Because if Bob was making like a billion dollars off folks. Oh my God, he loves it when he thinks he's from, I feel like it would be bad that he just stayed quiet. Let everyone think you're dead.

Right. If Bob was making a billion dollars on folks and shit, I think that there would be some people who have some stories. That's all I'm going to say. Oh my god. I'm speculating. Yeah, Beauty leaves the house. She's like, remember, I'm dead. Remember, you weren't here

because I wasn't here. He's like, sorry, I didn't mean to do that But you get the point So we go to the taping And it's prime time So it's 830 So the prizes Instead of like a dinette set Right out of the gate

Are like an Escalade And a fucking trip To the Bahamas Like everything's up I remember those Crazy And so we go And we're all

You know screaming And we're all fucking on You know edibles And been drinking all day And you stand in line First of all Because they interview. They have somebody come through.

Have you guys been to a taping ever? No. Got to go. When you come to L.A., hit me up. We'll fucking go. Because the energy of the set is pretty cool just to see it. And so we're standing in line, and they have three producers, and they ask you a quick question.

Why do you want to be on The Price is Right? Most people are like, I drove all the way from Duluth, and Bob Barker, he's my Jesus Christ, and I just – I love him so much. I don't know what I'll do to him if I see him live. And they're like, oh, that's so sweet. We'll put you down as a possibility. And my friend Jeff Neiman gets on there, and he goes – and he's hammered. He just goes, I'll suck his motherfucking dick.

And they go, all right, it's probably going to be a pass on you, sir, but thank you for the honesty. And we're all looking, and I'm like, dude, you probably just blew it for the rest of us. And so then one of our buddies got called up, and it was the last chance and he got one dollar and it was we all we all went nuts it was like i mean first of all a bunch of jews at a pricing game the joke writes itself because it's all from our uh our jewish frat that i see and uh and she won dollars us and she even turned around because we were making a lot of noise there's this little vietnamese woman i'll never forget it and She was like this. She looked like Yoda.

She turned around and she was like, $1, Bob. And we were like, fuck you. And it was so – it was crazy, dude. But it was also so funny. I was – I just – the whole – everything that was happening was so funny. I was like, I can't believe I'm a part of a $1 debacle. You know what I'm saying? I've dreamt about this.

Yeah. We had a guy here who he got on stage. He made it up. I don't know if – The story continues. Oh, yeah. So our guy gets called up Doesn't win

Now it's showcase showdown I'm sitting there With my buddy Mitch And I'm on the aisle And I go Dude what a waste of a day He had one shot to get up And he goes

You should rush the stage During the showcase showdown Whoever wins I go I mean And he was like Come on Alright

So there's this big black dude Named Derone And a little old woman Named like Ethel She's 75, 80. And Derone wins. And my buddy just pushes me out of my seat, and I run down the aisle. And by the way, you can't run down the aisle without hearing come on down in your head.

So I start doing, just to myself, whatever come on down dances. I just start doing that. I was like, you know, I fucking like doing that. Running down, and then I get to the stairs at the front of the stage, and there's a security guard at the top of the stairs you can't see on TV. So I run up the stairs. By the way, all his friends are on the other side of the set. And so I run up, and she's like, what are you doing?

I go, that's my best friend in the whole world. And she was like, all right. That checks out. I run past. I'm on stage. I'm, like, hugging all his friends. I sat in the escalator pretending to fucking drive it. There's a video of me at the end.

I told part of the story on stage of the improv and found the clip because it was deep on youtube there's a shot at the enemy like doing the robot behind bob barker as he's like remember i get your pet spade neuter get off that clit and their cocks right and i'm like doing this and i'm waving to the crowd i'm like hi mom you know that and uh it was bonkers dude and i remember hugging the kid and he was like did you just rush the stage i was yeah he's like that's fucking awesome i was like congrats on the prizes, man. He's like, yeah, man. He's like, buddy.

I mean, that's got to be the number one. The energy in that room. I mean, I'm a Jeopardy purist, so I think winning Jeopardy is like. Well, I mean, I just love Jeopardy. I love the champions. I love the legit. To me, those guys are like fucking athletes. Totally.

Rattling off their stats and shit. Mental athletes. But a number one like fun thing to have happen. Win a fucking, win a, like enough to be

in the showcase. So you've already won. Yes. You get the spin. I love that. You make it to the showdown and then you win it. That's like.

And you get a win spin maybe. Like if you come away with something from the spin. Oh my God. Always an extra. If you hit a dollar on the wheel, I mean.

Yeah. And then if you hit the second one. Your DMs are going to be full. Oh my God. I can't even believe it. Wait, so Jeopardy. So is that like your, you want to go on the wheel, I mean. Yeah. And then if you hit the second one. Your DMs are going to be full. Oh, my God. I can't even believe it. Wait, so Jeopardy. So is that like you want to go on? Oh, no, no.

I could never go on. You would be a good host for Jeopardy, though. I would. Because you would bring a nice. I couldn't even. Bro, you would bring a nice, like, just a different vibe to it. We could switch it up. But you still have, like, you know, host abilities.

I always did like how smug Trebek would get sometimes when people got wrong answers. I think I'd be that guy. Trebek was a gangster. New. Not even close. He wanted to do that, and he did it in a subtle way. I remember I posted this clip. Man, it was probably two months before he passed.

And he was like, so I hear you guys got married, and it was a Star Wars-themed wedding. And even just the way he said it, could tell like oh he's got a couple locked and loaded to fucking shoot a couple truth darts to shoot at her heart as far as just to take her down a bag

and she was like oh yeah Alex it was a it was a you know it was me and my husband Gary Gary where are you

he's dressed as Boba Fett right now we just we can't turn it off we're big fans and we had a bunch of stormtroopers and our ringbears

were Ewoks and legit we hired dwarves it was expensive but worth it and we were a very of stormtroopers, and our rigbears were Ewoks. And legit, we hired dwarves. It was expensive, but worth it. And we were a very happy couple. And Alex just goes, nerd alert. Yo, yes. Fucking losers.

Fucking losers. I mean, it just. And then he also says it, and they cut back to the woman. She was like, we had a good time. And then Alex is like, nerd alert. He's like, all right, back to the board for a double jeopardy. He just goes right back into the gameplay, which is the most gangster shit to be like,

what I loved about him. He didn't like, he just kept a jeopardy, you know, he probably, maybe a couple of cameos here and there or something, but he never like was in a movie or did a this or that or a show. It was just like,

this is what I do. I read these cards. I do my Canadian, my French Canadian accent. Yeah. And that's it. That's all I got He was a G man

And there's that fucking Bitch Pat Sajak Across the way Not a Sajak fan I mean if you're a Trebek fan You gotta Yeah fuck Sajak You know

Come on Banner does all the work I never got into this world I feel like so So many people are like In these worlds I never even did like Price is Right

Like I know that's like A thing like When you were sick You stayed home You watched Price is Right Oh it was incredible I just watched SportsCenter Ten you stayed home you watched Price is Right oh it was incredible in the heyday I just watched SportsCenter

10 times yeah of course but it was good because it was 11 for me so like 11am was like that's really legit

when you've watched SportsCenter like 15 times yeah yeah who were your SportsCenter guys when you guys were like I feel like high school was right as when you like watched it religiously

I can remember no because I was I was probably like in elementary school when those guys were really cooking. Are we all about the same age? 40?

I'm 34. I'm about to be 38. Gotcha. Okay. So I'm thinking back to- Eisen and Patrick. Yeah. Eisen and Patrick, Stu Scott.

Steve Levy. Even Keith Olbermann and Craig Kilborn were those guys. Wow, cool. That was like- Kilborn's a good one, yeah. I love Kenny Mayne. Kenny Mayne's so good. Kenny Mayne.

Kenny Mayne. That was like I love Kenny Mane That was I don't know what happened To ESPN And I'm sure the industry changed Or whatever But that formula That should still exist I guess that's kind of

What podcasts are These duos that have great chemistry. Well, so many sports shows now. I mean, truly, I never saw that coming. I mean, there was a time when it was just SportsCenter, right? We didn't have a— You know what sucks? I actually knew way more about sports.

This is kind of the opposite. And maybe I'm alone in this because I guess you can— because of the internet, you can consume everything. Yeah. But I actually—now just consume like my teams but i used to wake up in the morning put on sports center and i could tell you the score of like i could tell you the rock sonic you know yeah and now it's just like they were thorough check my mets highlights my next highlight now it's overwhelming so that's it like now now it's

like i actually feel like you can't just learn a little bit about every team it's like everyone's like here the deep analytics of the Seattle Kraken. I just want to know who the fuck. I don't want to know all that shit. I used to know what hockey highlights, hockey names, you know? And cause you would just watch,

you know, a half hour or whatever over and over and over again. So we get beat into you. And like, I would know everything, you know? And now it's, it's actually a shame.

I know how little I know. Like I actually, I've gotten far more specific with all the, like, like to just bruins podcasts i don't listen like i listen to chicklets here and there when i listen to podcasts but like i listen to like a bruins podcast twice a week yeah and it's like that's my team i don't need to know about fucking everybody that's your team are you a big boston guy i'm boston yeah everything yeah you'll love this i did the roast of big poppy in 2016 oh you did with j Wolfe? Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Josh Wolfe. We did Josh Wolfe. Oh, one of my best buds.

Yeah, he brought it up. You were saying how wild that was. Insane. So he asked me to do it. I'm like, I'm not really a roast guy. You know, in my crowd work, I like to, you know, obviously do that. But, like, as a true, like, that's all in the moment. And I just stand up there and whatever.

And I was like, if I could do it as a character, that'd be cool. So I'm coming off doing the Mad TV reboot on the CW. See it? Nobody did. But I met the makeup gal there who did the original mad tv she did snl 92 to 98 you know and uh and so after the show i was like man you know i love doing characters maybe we can find time to kind of do some prosthetic stuff and she's like of course that sounds awesome first thing we started doing with these uh during the pandemic i was doing these live dr phil shows so i'd get in full dr phil and the mustache he used was farley's the bears mustache from snl no way she holds on to so i do all these live you know i'd have dana carvey

and carola and joe mckale come on and we do these live virtual shows and everyone could buy tickets over zoom and and you know i'm giving people advice people you know my son's in school but he just he's in kindergarten he just doesn't like it i'm like well he sounds like a fucking piece of shit you know sounds like he doesn't make enough choices. Sounds like his mom's kind of a whore too. And that's you, but that's who I'm talking to. And then I started doing this old man character. And I was like, I think I should do that for the roast.

I'll be like an old Yankees fan roasting. So it was Burr. That was you. Yes. He literally was in like two weeks ago and told us about this. Oh, yeah. So keep going. Oh, yeah, dude. I don't think he mentioned that it was you, Yes. He literally was in like two weeks ago and told us about this. Oh, yeah. So keep going. Holy shit, yeah.

Oh, yeah, dude. I don't think he mentioned that it was you, but he must have. Thanks for the shout out, Josh. I don't think he said it was you. I mean, he must have. No, no, no. Yeah, I mean, it was a wild night. Continue, continue. So I don't know how much of the story he even told you.

It was crazy. So we go to work out the jokes at Laugh Boston in Boston the night before. And there's Burr and Anthony Mackie and Pedroia and Gronk were there too on the roast day and Sarah Tiana and Jonathan Coachman. And Burr's like, so you're going to dress up like Babe Ruth or some shit? What the fuck are you going to do? And I was like, you'll see

Bill. It's going to be pretty cool. And so the next day, I get all the makeup and I'm waiting in the lobby, walk over to House of Blues and Burr's in the lobby. I'm like, oh man, this guy was so skeptical i gotta go and i know you know bill well enough so i'm like i gotta go up and just you know test it out so i walk up i go bill burr then he goes hey what's up bud i go oh i'm a big big fan man big fan you know i'm like 75 year old was like the age i was kind of playing but she crushed it i don't know i'll show you pictures the neck the i mean it was bonkers dude people could not tell it was me gronk thought i was a

like all the way through the roast was like who the fuck is this old guy Josh is like it's my buddy Adam he's 36 and he's like get the fuck out of here

you couldn't tell and so I was like bro I'm a big fan he goes I appreciate it buddy I go I got some notes for your cartoon I go F is for family I go more like F is for

fuck this not that great and he goes hey fuck you buddy I go it's no Simpsons I'll tell you that much and he goes hey get the fuck out of here

I go fuck you Bill bro you're a real prick and then he goes Jesus Christ I go Bill it's Adam and he goes wait what'll tell you that much. And he goes, hey, get the fuck out of here. I go, fuck you, Bill Burr, you're a real prick. And then he goes, Jesus Christ. I go, Bill, it's Adam. And he goes, wait, what? And I go, it's Adam Ray. And he just looks at me and then he sides me up and then just goes, what the fuck? And then he couldn't take his eyes off me all night because he was like, he couldn't, he

was just like, you know, amazed by all the makeup. And then we get out there and I mean, I'm ripping. I was doing jokes like, you know, the Yankees won, you know, how many championships? 39 championships or something. I go, 39.

I go, that's also the number of shitty dance moves Gronk does to impress a girl before he roofies her. And then I said, like, I go, Dustin Pedroia. We all know Dustin play, give it up for Dustin. You know, he plays second base, but we all know his most natural position is dancing next to a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. And I laid into Pedroia, like, probably a little too much. Like, so many short jokes. I think that's what Josh was like. Josh was like, Pedroia was like, get this fucking guy out of here.

And I remember Gronk, right before he went out, was like, he's like, hey, man, do you mind? Because I was like, hey, man, I'm a comic, you know, just doing this goof. And he's like, can I run some jokes by you? I go, yeah, for sure, man. And he goes, I want to do this joke right out of the gate about, like, taking a dump on Josh's wife's chest. Did he tell you that? And I go, all right.

I go, where's the joke? He goes, that's like, come on. I'm like, I fucking took, like, a fucking hot dump on her. He's just constantly, he's such a bro, dude. He, like, he couldn't stop fucking bouncing. Like, he was just like, I'm a fucking, you know, which makes him so likable when he's like, he seems like a little kid that just, you know, hasn't taken his meds. And he's just like i'm a fucking you know and which makes him so likable when he's like he seems like a little kid that just you know hasn't taken his meds yeah and he's just bouncing around and i

go i go yeah i mean i don't know what the what the joke is but like what so and i try to like so now he's like so you're the comic though like i'm like so you're basically wanting me to like find a punch line for the shit on this guy's wife's chest and i was like i don't know so i threw something out to him and then he just went out there and i go i go i wouldn't open with it i go read the room maybe it's something you're closed with and he straight up literally goes out there and just goes josh wolf is here and i was like oh no and by the way i didn't tell josh i looked over him and josh says are laughing i was like i was like sorry man i was like i know i know what's about to come your way and he does it and it just gets like groans and like and then

And I did this like, you know, he's 75. He took 20 years off of stand-up and now he's come back. And so I ran around town all around L.A. and did like one night in L.A. And it's a mockumentary. It's about 45 minutes driving around town, talking to camera, almost like that Seinfeld doc I was talking about, inspired by that and it's it's pretty funny man so it's typing Adam saying how like people that's crazy like you know everybody was famous and then there was just this old man who was like ripping people oh yeah

I think Pedroia said to him like get this guy out of here why why he's like who the fuck is this guy yeah poppy even but poppy was loving it I mean sure I think he like never was never drinks or never does edible he was like he was on it though man like that's why Nesson unfortunately was supposed to air it so I we show them like I was like dude there's gotta be a price you guys can

pay to get this out because the way he talked he was like it's fucking at bro like Sarah Tiana was crushing I mean everybody it was it was a roast what happened is tmz the next day put out you know gronk goes after blacks jews and dominicans at big poppy well i mean clickbait but it's also like yeah that guy's jewish that guy's black thank you thank you you know it's on a roast day oh he went after the people that were there for a roast? Yeah, that's annoying. It was a bummer, man. But, yeah, somehow, someway, you know, got to get that footage. It would have been cool, man.

Burr always says that to me, too. He's like, it's a bummer they didn't air that. He's like, I feel like that would have given you a little boost in some direction. I'm like, yeah, maybe. I mean, just for the sake of... What the fuck is that? It's Pedroia. Yeah, no, we're recording, Frank.

What's up, Frank? Oh, I just wanted to deliver this box, Frank. What's up, Frank? What's up, Frank? What do we got in the box? We are literally in the middle of the podcast, Frank. Sorry about that. But this box is for you. You're going to love this.

For me? Well, it's for KFC. Oh, great. Kyle, it's for everybody. Great. If you want to know where you got it, believe. Okay. It's a bobblehead that plays narco.

Fuck yeah, dude. Oh, awesome. Thank you, Frank. Everyone who has got one, there's a letter here. that plays narco fuck yeah dude awesome thank you Frank everyone who has got one there's a letter here awesome god bless you I thought it was going to be Dan Marino's head

the way you came in here with all this Dolphins swag he's a big Dolphins fan are you a big Dolphins fan yeah in Tua we trust right now certainly fuck yeah dude

alright thank you Frank no it's all good man thank you I'll see you in the bathroom bud that was cool sweet guy awesome nah dude that's how hey man but this see you in the bathroom bud That was cool Sweet guy Awesome Nah dude

That's how Hey man But this adds to the fucking Mystique and allure Of your I thought he was coming back in He's like Frank dude

You're overstaying your welcome That was awesome Did you see what He just came in Awesome He's like in the middle But you know what though Part of me

Yeah for sure Read the room But also It's not I mean that was crazy like even by Frank I love also the confidence of even when you like truly don't have enough space in my heart for Frank

when he comes in and you go we're literally recording a show he just goes cool so I got this box but it was also like you're gonna love like I'm sorry to interrupt but what's in this box is kind of worth stopping anything unless that was just like a big box of cash. I don't give a fuck what that is.

He is – How long has he been here? Years now. Yeah. So Frank is the epitome of like the – I guess – I hate to say the essence of Barstool Sports, but like five years ago, he was just he's just a regular guy. He was trying to get to the Mets game on opening day. New Jersey Transit was like a clusterfuck.

And it was like a news news, whatever. They're talking about how there's been so many delays. And he went on this rant where he's like, I'm not going to make it to the Mets game on time. I'm going to miss the balloons. I'm going to miss the anthem. They're incompetent. They're stupid. And it went viral just being like this pure Mets fan who was so upset.

And that apparently is all it takes to get your job here. And ever since, Frank has just been – he's one of the most negative Mets fans you'll ever meet. So me and him fucking butt heads and we're enemies. So I thought this was going to be a bit. I thought he was interrupting and being like, look at this. By the way, I thought it was a bit. Yeah. That's the thing.

Frank is just a giant bit. I mean, that's what I was saying. He had Guillermo and Kimmel vibes of coming in when he wasn't supposed to. But it feels pre-planned. Yeah, no, we don't do stuff like that. Frank is not great at picking up social cues. Well, now guess what? Whatever sickness you call that,

it's not his strong suit. Frank isn't great. If we were doing pros and cons of Frank, social cues is not what we're looking for. He didn't walk in like he was going to sell some Plan B gummies. He was just like, you guys, I got a couple coats worthy of, now, there is something to be said about.

Yeah, show the fucking bobblehead, man. By the way, if this part of the show, you see, like, a boost in numbers, every episode, Frank needs to come

in with a box. Almost Pee Wee's Playhouse style. What's in the box? I mean, it sounds cool as far as bobbleheads go. Plays Narco. Yeah.

But it plays Narco, man. I never had a bobblehead that plays music grab the note too i want to see who it's from if it's like from it's got like from the mets you know if it's anthrax imagine that oh it's just a fucking oh okay oh this is gonna make a mess. Yeah. You see that? Yeah. This is... Let's fucking see what's in the box, Frank. You win. We gotta... We gotta get this bottle.

Oh, yeah. Put it together. All right. Oh, great. It's a whole thing. Okay. Great. Great.

And I'm sure there's no fucking batteries in it, so I'm sure I can't even hear... Oh, you broke it. I broke it. Yep. Oh, my God. Don't tell him. And it's broken. Oh, God.

I literally broke it. Oh, shit. Don't tell him. He'll be heartbroken Oh, God. I mean, like, you really broke it. I literally broke it. Oh, shit. Don't tell him. He'll be heartbroken. Oh, my God. You guys are assholes. Fuck. Oh, God.

Oh, God. So, yeah. The leg, the head. If this isn't a bad omen, I don't know what is. God damn it, Frank. Fucking. You strike again, Fleming. You strike again.

And we like all had some fun poking fun fun at them trying to still do the dance. Sure, sure, sure. But I'm like, man, you know what most guys their age look like or cannot do? Oh, yeah. When you put another 40, whatever, 50-year-old guy up there and said, here's the dance routine. Do it for 25 songs, fucking 10 nights in a row. Those guys would be in the hospital.

And, you know, it's one thing when you're a teenage heartthrob, because all you've got to do is look at the camera and be like, you know, and the girl's like, ah! Bro. And you're 50, and you're still doing that, but you've got to do it the right way so it's

still funny. Totally. And you're right, though, keeping yourself, like, and Joe does a great job of it, like, keep, you know, vocally, you're in shape, and then, fuck, man, I mean, you're right, like, they don like, and Joe does a great job of it, like keep, you know, vocally you're in shape. And then, fuck, man. I mean, you're right. Like, they don't, these cruises were bonkers. I mean, it's 3,000 women just from all ages.

And she was like, I'll let you smell my fingers. I was like, she didn't say that. But she was like, they're all that diehard. Where it was like, hey, man, give me some access.

It was unbelievable. It was like truly about a half hour before we docked. Because you know that last night, they do a party and then everyone just stays up. The party ends at 2 and you dock at like 5. Right. And that's also when you got to throw your Hail Marys. I thought I was going to fuck Donnie on the first night. But the clock is ticking.
