Is this Kevin? Welcome back. Oh, yeah, man, how you doing? You good? I know you like that. I know you like that. I know you like that, Rocket. I know you like that.

You know what I like? You like it when it's a dog day Friday. Yeah, I do like dog day Fridays. I do. It's Friday. And Zaz back. On a motherfucking Friday, baby. It's Friday.

We ain't got no kitty cats. No. You ain't got shit to do, man. I actually do have shit to do today. Dude, today was supposed to be a light day. You ever have one of those days where it's like, oh, I got nothing today. It's going to be easy. And then it turns out to be fucking worse than ever.

Yeah. That's what's going on for me right now. I've been running around a million miles it's like, oh, I got nothing today. It's going to be easy. And then it turns out to be fucking worse than ever. Yeah, that's what's going on for me right now. I've been running around a million miles a minute today when I thought I was going to like chill. It's Friday. Like we shouldn't be doing all this stuff. We should just be relaxing. Who wants to do stuff? We got stuff to do on a Friday. But you know,

I'm happy about the stuff that I'm doing today. What stuff are you doing? I did section 10. Very funny episode. CCK, this is obviously going to be an all-time episode with Casey being out. Friday Night Pints. And then I think I'm – Hey, Avery, can you get me a bottle of water? And then I think I might be doing something with Brandon. I don't know.

Wrestling? Yeah, I think I might be doing that. I don't know because the window of time that I said I was busy, I think it didn't work for him. Oh, well, you know, B Walker, he's on that B90X. Right. So it works 90 hours a week. I might have a little merch meeting for a line that I'm going to be putting out.

And I think a lot of people would enjoy it. Really? Mm-hmm. I'm good, thank you. I woke up. I started out my day with a motherfucking performance, Jared. Sexually? No.

Okay. No. Polar opposite of that. I'm in dad mode this morning. I wake up and tomorrow is Shay's birthday. So today is her school birthday. Okay. Oh, school birthdays are almost better than your actual birthday.

Honestly, you'd say that. They used to be. You can't bring in any fucking food anymore, so no cupcakes and shit. Why? Because allergies. And you can't do any gifts because of bullying, all this shit. That's how you weed out the weak. It's true.

Darwinism, man. Just let that kid with the peanut allergy fucking die in the corner. Exactly. No big deal. Yeah. Well, Shay puts on a little tissue paper crown or whatever. I don't know. But what's gone on in the years gone by is you have one of your parents come in and read to the class.

And every year running, I've gone in, read the same book that me and Shay read. And I go in, and I'm a fucking showman. Yeah, of course. I put on a performance. I mean, I got these kids laughing. I got these kids dying. They're, like, passing out. Like, oh, my God, that was the funniest fucking thing in the world.

Well, I can't go in this year. I got to do it over Zoom. Well, that's where you shine, though, because it's like, well, if you can't be there in person, can that still translate over Zoom? Well, let me tell you something. How much talent do you have? I'm going to go ahead and blame the audience on this one because these fucking kids, they gave me nothing. I mean, they gave me nothing.

I fire up the Zoom. I'm a professional on Zoom. I've been doing interviews with fucking celebrities on Zoom for the last year. And these fucking kids, they act like they're getting some chump off the street to read them a book. No fucking sir. No. No fucking, no way, ma'am. Why don't you guys perk up and get ready because

you're about to get the fucking book reading of a lifetime it's it's kfc doing dr seuss on your ass what book was it ten apples up on top okay first of all it's like 35 pages it's quick it's like a very you know you know dr seuss he spits those bars he spits rhymes but i was like turning pages after pages so i got it's her and like three other kids. It's already a small class to begin with. Probably a couple of kids got COVID, a couple of kids out, whatever. So I got this Zoom with my kid and then three others. And they're just sitting there staring at me.

That's a small audience. Fucking Billy Madison. Small audience is right. It was an intimate setting. And so I'm like, you kids ready? Let's do this. And even Shay's like, yeah. Come on!

Even my own daughter betraying me. Let's go! Give me some energy here, kid. I feel like Shay, it's like, you know, it doesn't matter how great the band is. Once you've seen a band on tour so many times, it kind of loses its luster. She's over it. Yeah, I mean, like, she's seen this act a ton of times. A ton of times. It was her fucking choice, though. You want something new?

Then pick it. Right. So I go, and I'm ripping. Three apples up on top. I could do three, but I could do four. You could do four, but I could do more. I'm ripping. I'm firing on all cylinders. Nothing.

Nada. And then I get to the end. You should have just done the half-baked exit. Fuck you. Yeah. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you.

You're my daughter. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. You're my daughter. Fuck you. I'm out. That would have been unbelievable. Mic drop on their asses. Just slam the fucking laptop shut. And then they do it when they sing happy birthday. Appreciate greatness.

Exactly. I'm not coming back next year. How about that, bitches? Yeah, that's on you. Little goddamn assholes. The blood is on your hands. Seriously. Like, you know, I'm not coming to the party next time.

Yeah. You dicks. So, you know, that kind of was a shot to the ego. Imagine going to see, like, Led Zeppelin. And just nothing. And making no noise. Like, when they're like, let me hear it. Let me hear the audience.

Hey. Whoa. People on this side. People on that side. And they just do nothing. They just look around like, what are we even here for? It's like, oh, I don't know. You want to go back to your regular ass fucking teacher?

Yeah. Go ahead. Good luck with that. Good luck with Mr. Ben doing music again for the 500th time. Yeah, we all live in a yellow submarine. Fuck that. Go home and tell your fucking dad that KFC from Barstool was reading. He would probably cum his pants.

Right. Your father would love it. You don't appreciate greatness. Your father would probably fucking pay to see me and buy me a beer afterwards and ask me for a picture awkwardly. Make his wife hold the camera. Yeah.

Shit. It is, I guess it's one of the things that we talked about on Section 10 this morning, like opposite end of the spectrum, being young and having appreciation. I was on red socks reddit and there there's this new red socks podcast and they're teenagers shit you got you got

competition son no but they're teenagers and uh i was like watching one of their clips and like it reminded me of me where it was like you know you're in high school super passionate about the red socks there's nothing bad that they could ever do. You can only say positive things. Yeah. And they're having a debate about NoMar. Are they like 16? Like, did they see 04? Were they alive for 04?

I don't know. Probably like right on the border, right? Yeah. Yeah. So they're having a debate about like NoMar versus Jeter. Like, who's better? Right. And it's like.

Having not witnessed either of them, really. Yeah. No. Yeah. Like, no chance better? Right. And it's like... Having not witnessed either of them, really. Yeah. No. Yeah. Like, no chance. Right. No chance. That's like us talking, like, you know, Ted Williams versus Joe DiMaggio.

Yeah. Yeah. And, like, I... Because we were talking about the clip that just went viral of Manny and the dude that, like, saw him and, like, didn't know who he was. Like, if you were in a Red Sox hat, he was around my age. Like, you should know who Manny is. Yeah.

The X factor was, though, that it was in Australia. Yeah. Yeah. So, I don't know but whatever i think he was yeah but it's like now we're at the point where like if you were eight like if you're 18 right now when manny hit that home run and put his hands up you were fine yeah you don't remember that you weren't watching that maybe your dad put you on his knee and you were watching but you don't remember that. You weren't watching that. Maybe your dad put you on his knee and you were watching, but you don't remember it. If you're 21 years old, if you're able to legally buy a beer, you were born when the Red Sox signed Manny. Let's say you're 20. Let's make it an even 20.

You probably don't truly remember. What, you won in 13? Did you win in 13? 13. You probably remember the, the, what, you won in 13? Did you win in 13? 13. You probably, you, you probably remember the 2013 World Series.

That's really where it starts. If you're 20? Yeah, like that's like, like you're watching yourself, you're, you're like,

you, you, you'll remember. You were seven when they won in 07. 07. You won't, you don't,

you have no recollection of 04. No. You'll have like, my dad, like I watched 07 and my dad told me about it, but 13 is the first time you start to like, actually know i watched those seven and my dad told me about it but 13 is the first time you start to like actually know what you're talking about i crazy i was that's why

like i i am i am the red sox prophet like i would i came to earth at the exact time that i should that's fucking right za i came to earth at the right time perfect i was i was born on opening day za during did i tell you this during quarantine i was born on opening day 1989 i was born on opening day, Zah. Did I tell you this? During quarantine. I was born on opening day, 1989. I was born on the first day of the Major League Baseball season. With the rocket in the fucking room. My dad, during quarantine, found the newspaper from the day that I was born and it said the rocket launches.

That's what the front page of the Boston Herald was. Let's go, rocket! Let's go! I was old enough to remember shitty Fenway, so I have an appreciation for the new ownership. I'm old enough to remember Nomar, Pedro, Manny, Mo Vaughn. I'm old enough to remember, like, these kids that are doing this podcast now, I was their age when they won in 04. Yep.

I'm here. I'm here for these people. The Messiah. The Red Sox Messiah You are the chosen one The beard The everything You gotta start walking around

the Messiah Carabas oh baby I am so done with it you grow that hair and you get a tan? Oh, shit. I mean, it makes a lot of sense. And then, you know, a few years from now, we'll crucify you. I feel like I've already

had that happen. No. Through various points. No, we'll crucify you. We'll tie you up. Physically. We won't nail you, but we'll tie you to a cross. Alright. I mean, I feel like Casey crucifies me all the time. Listen. She's not even here today Casey crucifies me all the time. Listen. She's not even here today.

You don't even need to bring her up. She's swimming in my brain. So, yeah, I mean, these kids, they got to pay homage. They got to remember that. You know, how many years ago? I want them on. Oh, okay. I want to put them over.

Maybe give them some love. Yeah. I was like, I want to have them on. Pass the baton? Not really, but, you know. Not pass the baton, but, like, grow want to have them on. Pass the baton? Not really, but you know. Not pass the baton, but like. Grow the game. Grow the.

Do for them what some individuals did for me when I first came in. That I wish people did for me when I first came in. Who helped you out? Who did you give love to? Not Peter Abraham. No, fuck that guy. Steve Buckley was super nice to me. There was one individual that I would name, but then he kind of like he did like a 180.

He like heel turned on me. Really? Yeah. Kirk told me that he like talked shit about me all the time. Would I know this or no? Was it like a local Boston guy? It's a local Boston guy. Yeah.

But like he used to be super nice to me. Fuck you, local Boston guy. Yeah. And then he like shit talks to me all the time. So yeah. Well, a lot can change over the course of, uh, several years. We've got Theo in New York on the line who is reminding us that today is the six year anniversary of the hell's bells video.

Oh, and Chrissy Teigen murdering Dave Portnoy. And, uh, so we're going to go down memory lane here. What's up, Theo? Yeah,

I, I think I might've tweeted at you earlier in the week, but yeah, I think a couple days ago was like the six-year anniversary and it's just one of the all-time rundowns i mean you guys showing up in like suits and yeah the funeral we had a funeral for him that's right because because he wasn't even on the rundown either right or was he was not on the rundown and in typical fashion where it typically would be off of like the back of a patriots loss on sunday where

it's like all right you know every other week we'll talk about the Patriots as the first topic. He buried that as the last topic. Yep, yep, yep. And obviously going into the Hell's Bells video, and I just kind of wanted to hear your account of it. There were some legendary follow-up tweets to Chrissy's tweet, and it was just really an all-time moment for a story.

Chrissy's tweet was what? Why don't you at me, tough guy? Something like that? Something to that effect. Yeah. Why don't you at me, tough guy? Yeah. On a scale of one to ten, referencing Dave's tweet, on a scale of one to ten, how big of

a pussy do you have to be, basically? Yeah. Yeah. To not at me. Yeah. I mean, Dave's always had beef with Chrissy Teigen. Not real beef, but he's always been like, she's the cool girl who tries to be the cool girl. And in my mind, it was always like breaking news.

I think she's just the cool girl. I think she's just cool. I think she's pretty witty on Twitter, especially for a female celebrity who often trying to find one who is rich, successful, and pretty, but also has humor and personality. She's a unicorn so i always thought like yeah listen she's out here on twitter trying to make jokes just like we are it's like you can you could call us try hard too we're trying to be funny guys whatever uh so i remember i was always kind of on her side and then when she body bags dave uh but the funniest thing the hell's bells it's funny because that's like the term like you even said here the hell's bells video it's like capital letters like we know we're talking about that's funny but to me the first tweet of i have to say something yeah is so

fucking funny like dave just being like like he back to Twitter, realizes it's an avalanche. He's been absolutely just like steamrolled, and he's just like, I have to say something. And the fact that he's like, oh, yeah, I'm not getting push notifications. Like everybody that works for me is tweeting at me right now, but I'm just going to – Well, no, no. You know what? I actually – I will stand by – I can't say that because I don't have, like if I, if everybody starts tweeting me, my phone doesn't go off. But at that stage in our career, and pretty much forever, like right now, you would have just opened Twitter at some point in the last like 15, 20 minutes.

I mean, he was gone for a while. So I don't think he necessarily has to have the push notifications on because I know I don't have that either. But he was in the middle of tweeting, and he says he was out there trying to make this. It is funny. It is believable that Dave would be struggling to make a video filming his screen for like 20 minutes.

So his excuse does work, but it's also just like, well, that's the problem. Old man, you sat here filming your screen for 20 minutes and let the internet, you know, declare you dead. So we,

uh, in, in classic, you know, sold the soul to the devil fashion. He like met her at like a book fair or something like three days later. And it was like, actually,

she was a cool girl. And we like got on. Well, it's like a hundred percent. She just eviscerated you. I know. Like, you know, 30 hours ago. I know like, actually, she was a cool girl. And we got on well. It's like, she just eviscerated you. I know. Like, you know, 30 hours ago. I know.

And then I think he ran into her at a pizza review when he did that modeling thing. She was cool. I mean, like I said, because she is a cool girl. It wasn't actually bad blood. But, man, that was so – those really were the good old days. Thanks for the fucking memory, Theo. I feel like there's just none of that anymore. And if there is, it's not fun. It's too serious.

Right now, if something like that happened and we were busting balls, it would be serious right away. It would be like somebody would take it over the top and it wouldn't be as good-natured and humorous as it is. Didn't he just win the most polarizing sports figure? Did he? Yeah. Voted by who? So I saw that tweet. I thought that – is that real?

I thought that was – I think it's real. I mean, they talked about it on like the Dave Portnoy show. Like Eddie brought it up as like this is – Well, whether or not – I saw something else. I saw a Photoshop of the time person of the year. That's what I was referring to.

Yeah, this was like the most – Oh, not the time. Yeah, he's of the time person of the year. That's what I was referring to. Yeah, this was like the most polarizing person in sports or something like that. Which I think is, you know, definitely. So my point is, like, he's at this point now. His character has evolved to the point where he's polarizing. Like, he looks different and he gives off a completely different vibe. Whereas before, he was like the goofy hunchback that, like, he's notizing. He looks different and he gives off a completely different vibe, whereas before he was the goofy hunchback that he's not that anymore. He wears the suit and he actually showers

and stuff. He had his glow up and he had all the money in the world. The money, the power, the fame, that all came to the point where before if you were a stoolie from Boston, you're like, this guy is ours. And now everyone is like he doesn't belong to Boston anymore.

And also not that there was ever really – like he was always the boss. He's the founder. He's always been like the number one. But there's probably a large portion of his audience that doesn't even know he's from Boston. Oh, yeah. There are people who just know him as the pizza guy. You know what I mean? Like they don't even know him as the blogger.

They don't even know him. Even to some extent like the Goodell and Patriots thing is fading away. People know him as the stock guy now, you know? But even within Barstool, there used to be like – A lot of people know him as Alex Cooper's boss. Right. Yeah. He's just the guy that –

The daddy gang guy. He presses record on Call Her Daddy. But we – there were times times where we would be – like that, for example, we were able to be like, you are the loser today. You got bodied. You're the zero. And now it's like –

It never happens. He has too much money, too much fame, where it's just like there's not even any – and that's a testament to him. He can be like, I win. There's never a day where I can be like, you're the loser. I'm the winner.

You know what I mean? It's always that he's on top. But that's why those golden years where like he was he wasn't what he is now and we and we and we still like had some funny dynamic between all three of us and like all of that shit still like came together and it was just so goddamn funny. And moments like that were like, you know, I mean, true laugh out loud. Like I remember seeing it happen and like standing up and being like, all right, what do we get?

Should we like get together on a Skype right now and do an immediate rundown? Should we like try to make a Photoshop? Like I remember Fights' video where he was doing something with Taylor Swift, ironically on a day her album's out where he was like check out my taylor swift video and he was like yo taylor swift he's dead he's dead he's fucking dead like everybody chiming in with their own little contributions it was just and and i think at that point you know all of our twitter in our little echo chamber is reacting and it feels like the whole world is talking about dave and ch Chrissy Teigen. And in reality, it was probably like

a thousand people total. You know what I mean? Now it's such a bigger scale. There's so much more on the line. There's so much more to lose. And you know what else sucks is like, I've always said this, and this is what I really don't like about fame,

and it's kind of like a cowardly thing on my part. I miss when you could talk shit and bust balls and talk about celebrities. And then they wouldn't find out. And they wouldn't ever find out. And you wouldn't have to worry about crossing paths. And it's not because I ever say anything that I truly wouldn't like ultimately stand by. But it's just kind of fun to be like, eh, fuck that guy. He's a fucking loser.

And then not have it be like, I'm coming to your office tomorrow. Or like tweet right at you because I got tagged a million times. guy he's a fucking loser and then not have it be like i'm coming to your office tomorrow you know or like tweet right at you because i got tagged a million times and you're actually like big enough for me to respond to and it's like well i'm just here to try to because when you want to be like the average guy like the average people at home i do this with the mets too the average people at home are like man fuck peter lonzo on that play like you're lazy yeah and i want to be able to say that too without it being like well now we're like banned from the Mets clubhouse. You know?

And shit like that where it's like, I just want to keep it real. But we've almost gotten too big to be, you know, the common man anymore. So the perfect era of still quote unquote common man, not quite as big as we are now. But big enough that shit like that happens. Was the perfect time. The golden years of Barstool. That I truly believe nobody ever again will be able to replicate. The internet has changed too much. Barstool is too big.

The celebrity, the social media has changed too much. There was that perfect period of time that I don't think anybody will ever be able to replicate again. I don't want to name names here um but i i facilitated in helping someone that works here learn the hard way that you can't do that anymore uh someone someone either like wrote a blog or made a video about someone and then uh the person that they were talking about reached out to me and they're like, can I have their number? And I was like, fuck yeah, you can. I know what you're talking about.

Yeah. I know what you're talking about. But I actually, as I understand it, that went like not so bad. Yeah, it was pretty cordial. It was like – I actually think that was strategic on that person's part. For sure. Not to chew him out but to be like, hey, let's not.

De-weaponize. Yes, yeah. Like that's the thing is, again, not that we're ever truly just like trolls saying shit for the sake of saying shit, but if you're nice to me, I'll probably be nice back. Right. And it's very hard to be – because what was it? Tuesday night I was watching The Bachelorette with Trent and Rhea Fran

and Kelly Keegs, and there was this dude on there. I forget his name, but he was just the bachelorette with uh trent and ria fran and kelly keegs and there was this dude on there i forget his name but he was just the fucking worst yeah and i'm just trashing this dude and and then they're like yeah no he came in the office and he was super nice and blah blah and it's like that like ruins it yes exactly that ruins it become real because it humanizes yeah like you're watching a show and think of of them as – You're not going to get authentic takes. If you're watching it and that's how you feel, then that's probably what your viewers on your show are feeling. And that's what they want to hear. Yeah, and then you're going to say like, ah, well, he's actually not a bad guy. He came in.

He was super cool. I hate that. No, that guy sucks. Talk about how much he sucks. And that's why I told Clem at one point, there's a couple guys on the Mets I will talk to. But otherwise, I kind of want to just be, like, the fan. And there are people who I, like, would rather. Yeah, would it be cool to know, I don't know, that actor or that reality show celebrity or whatever.

They come in, they hang out. Yeah, but I think it's more important and valuable to be able to stay impartial and not be... But I'm also not a fucking sociopath who's like, nice to meet you, you're a really cool person, but I'm still going to continue to trash you because I need to keep my reality TV show integrity up. You know what I mean? So, you know, it is...

I mean, I've told players, like, it's different with the Red Sox versus other teams. Like, if you're not on my team, I don't give a fuck. Like, if you're struggling, if, like, you're, like, 0 for your last 56, I'm not going to shit on you because it doesn't affect me personally. Yeah. But, like, there have been players on the Red Sox being like, yo, like, if I start to suck, like, are you going to rip me? And I'm like, yeah. That's the game, homie. And they're like, damn, like, you're going to turn on me like that? I'm like, well, what am going to rip me? And I'm like, yeah. That's the game, homie.

And they're like, damn, like, you're going to turn on me like that? I'm like, well, what am I supposed to do? Don't get bad. Yeah. Keep playing good. Yeah. What's your favorite era of Barstool? I mean, when I first started, like, it is kind of weird how, like,

I've been to the Milton office. Like, when the Milton office was functioning like you buy that by the way i don't think so i think they were asking for an outrageous amount of money it was like 2.3 million dollars oh my god it's literally worth like five dollars maybe the point three yeah yeah it's a broken down piece of shit dentist office yeah that's great Yeah, definitely not worth it. Yeah, but like my favorite era, like I loved. It probably was like around then. Just blogging was awesome too. When it was New York and Boston and it was almost like staggered every other half hour

and it was just like, it was like watching like Rocky and Drago, which was like knockout punch after knockout punch, like a 10 out of 10 blog. Every single time you refresh the website. There was a point in time probably before I started working here where I read every blog. Every fucking blog. Yeah. They were all so fucking fun. And I wonder if like, you know, people always want us to get back into blogging and like we do.

And when we do it it's fun and it's good but i feel like even the internet has evolved where it's like people aren't just like sitting at work reading a blog anymore yeah they've become like the the social media revolution they've become the tiktok people and the instagram lives and the 15 second clips and shit where i don't know if that's ever gonna happen again like the written word will always be around but that type and the way that we did it then i don't think that ever happens either i think it's because i mean the pandemic has fucked that up royally because people are on the train and they're just like flipping through their phone like they're probably reading blogs like while they're commuting or something like that um i know i would like read them like

at work or whatever but yeah it's just it's different now. But I mean that, that era probably around that, like 2013 to 15, like when Dana was an intern, like that content was just hilarious. Like her dynamic with blind Mike, uh, like way back in the day,

Simon, that kind of shit. Yeah. Like that's the beginning of like the whack pack stuff. Yeah. Haircut Seth. Yeah. Uh, crazy Lou came aboard. Like all that kind of shit was, uh, Yeah, like that stuff that was just organic. The beginning of like the Whack Pack stuff. Yeah. Weird Haircut Seth. Yeah.

Crazy Lou came aboard. Like all that kind of shit was, you know. And yeah, of course it's like better now and bigger and more money and all that shit. But. Yeah, the production quality is outstanding. Like the stuff that Barstool puts out now is top notch. And we would have laughed at the idea of any of this stuff being produced by Barstool Sports. But. Well, we did. There was that clip that Dave loves to bring up when Dave's like, people are talking about us in boardrooms.

And they want to be us. And, of course, he shows it now because, listen, he was proven right. But at that point in time, not a motherfucking soul was talking about it. You were busy throwing wallets off of blind kids' faces. Nobody was talking about us then. I mean, they are now. They probably were shortly after that. But in that moment, we were still a bunch of fucking clowns.

Mike Kearns at Churn was the only person talking about us in any boardroom anywhere. I think they probably were talking about Barstool in some boardrooms, but not in the way that Dave thought. I think so, yeah. They were not talking about Barstool in some boardrooms, but not in the way that Dave thought. I think so, yeah. They were not talking about Barstool. We need to be like that. Yeah, they weren't like, look at this production quality. How do we match this? They were thinking like, why do people like this so much?

Yes, yes. They have a cult following. They're super passionate. Look at the money that they just raised in Boston for the marathon and all this shit. And it's like, where are all these people coming from? Like these t-shirts suck. Like this website looks like shit. And these videos are horrible.

I had to be inferior. Yeah. Like why, why do people like this? And I mean, if you, if you take the time to kind of like educate yourself and get immersed in the culture,

you're like, I get it. Yeah. I would, I would love to talk to some of the, uh, some of the names now from like Hockey Twitter and White Knight Twitter who used to be like, oh, that little blog. And then just like when they unequivocally, undeniably lost, you know, when they used to say things like, well, when, you know, when Barstool's gone under and I'm still writing at like the Philadelphia Inquirer or whatever fucking like old school antiquated probably bankrupt company they're at now I would love for them to have finally the moment where they had

to go like fuck I lose like they they're right they did it we're fucking done what uh what employee number are you I think I was three three but that but that's your gas yeah before Keith I mean me and Keith are like same time so I think mine says three his is four or the other way around.

But that also doesn't include like Manzo, Jamie Chisholm, Jerry Thornton, Rear Admiral. Those guys all in the OG. Jamie is the fucking man. The Boston newspaper guys should have been in there first. I think as far as the barstool that you know it as, I think I'm either three or four. It goes like Dave, Gaz, me and Keith. But yeah, that doesn't take into account some of the godfathers that paved the way. To this day, if you go to a barstool event,

however big or small, and it's in Boston, Jamie's there. Yeah, he's a funny... I don't think... I probably met him. We DM every now and then. There was a period of time where we talked a little bit. But yeah, guys like him and Manzo who like, you know...

They've got... And like the Neils of the world. Has Manzo contributed to any bar Barstool documentary type stuff? I don't think so. Does he like hold a grudge? I don't think he could be too thrilled. I mean. I mean, well, put it this way.

Put it this way. And I mean this with all due respect. The best case scenario is he's he's hubs now. I mean, that's not like you're not like, damn, I missed the boat on that. Yeah, yeah. Right, right. But I feel like he probably was not thrilled with, I mean, but he. By the way, it's Hubs' birthday.

Happy birthday, Hubs. Happy birthday, Hubs. Happy birthday, Hubs. Have a great day. Let's hit our break. When we come back, Dominican Dillon's on the line. We'll talk to him. We'll talk about the latest beef in the Barstool world.

Davey is embroiled in the mud with a teenager, with a child. Oh, yeah, I saw that. We'll be back after the break. I'll see you in a bit. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back.

We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back.

We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back.

We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back.

We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. The party's right here on Dog Day CCK. We're going down memory lane a little bit,

talking about the old school, good old days of Barstool. And now on the line is a prominent member of the New Guard of Barstool fans. Dominican Dylan's on the line. Dominican Dylan. You've been reading Barstool for, or I guess, you know what's even weirder? Just saying that. How long have you been reading Barstool? It's like that.

You might follow the account. Read one of the Instagram captions? Right. You follow the Instagram and you listen to the radio and you could be immersed in Barstool and not read anything. How long have you been a Barstool fan, Dylan? I'm trying to think. I started watching the rundowns in high school.

So that was probably 2012, 2013. All right. So that's still pretty OG shit. I started really getting into it. I remember when you guys first moved to New York and you guys first had radio. I remember seeing clips. I think it was the Loud Sean. It was when radio first started.

Him and that dude going at it. And I was like, fuck, I got to subscribe to this shit real quick. Yep. That was when. And that was what was good. That was what was good about the New York move. It became a little Howard Stern, F-Square, all sorts of characters coming on and shit. I feel like that's a peak.

Have a little bit of money. Have enough money to do what you want when you're not too big. Not like sold out. Old office. Old office was peak Barcelona. Yeah, I would probably agree with that. Because everything was still Milton quality there. It was Milton quality quality not for the same

price I mean the fucking Barstool office like Dave when he first came in there like bragged about it being like a million dollar office like doesn't a million dollar office is like this place is a piece of shit socks you're basically just paying for the space in Manhattan versus the contents of the actual office so

yeah it was it was an expansion of Milton where you like I remember when Dave went on Periscope so yeah it was it was an expansion of milton where you like i remember when dave went on periscope or whatever it was the day that the churn and deal was announced and people had all these questions and that's when he like the idea of the bird cage for nate first came about and as a guy that had been reading barstool since 2007 and like i i watched the integration of you and keith and dan and and uh you know the expansion of like barstool you and all these different cities smitty i was like this is going to be fucking amazing right to finally see all these personalities together permanently right

um i think it lived up to the hype like the first first Barstool, like, well, the first office in New York that lived up to the hype. No doubt here. It's still great, but it's different. Well, now it's like we're a media fucking empire. It's every man for himself here. Like when,

when we had the old New York office, it was like, everyone is just thrown into twine. Everybody. It's a royal rumble. Yeah. Everyone's in the ring together. Yeah.

Every day. I remember Every day on radio It was also one show too So that shit would get jam packed into two hours Yeah the original Barstool Radio when it was just 12 to 2 This is crazy It was You would get called in

And get roasted And now you get a whole line, you would get called in and get roasted. Yeah, you didn't want to end up on that show. And now you get a whole lineup and it's great entertainment and shit, but, yeah, that was when it was like you can't miss or you're not even going to know what's going on anymore. You had the MMA dudes straight calling in, getting real tight. What the fuck is this? Yes, because we're on the Combat Sports Channel. That's right.

That's right. Yeah. We were, like, packed in between two MMA shows. Yeah, that was funny, man. I mean, those were certainly good times that will be remembered. And I don't know. I mean, I don't know where it goes from here where it's like it'll probably keep thriving and as more and more states legalize, we'll make more and more money and all that.

But it'll just become this like gambling media like, you know, fucking empire. And it's not like a little blog. You guys keep an element. You guys keep an element. You guys keep an element, because I was watching. Shout out to Za. You guys keep an element, because I was watching the stream on Sunday,

and first of all, I put money on Arsenal and shit, but watching Za. I was going nuts. Dude, that stream, Za and Troops were going insane. That's football. Absolutely nuts, man. It was crazy. That's football. Absolutely nuts, man. It was crazy.

When they started arguing, when they started arguing, I was like, that was me the day before with my pops, talking about fucking West Ham going to second half lead and shit. But that shit was amazing. Yeah, we'll always keep it real. It'll always be that. And thanks for the call, Dill. I'm going to get into this TikTok story here. You too, man.

And there'll always be drama and beef as evidenced by this latest go-round. But it's just different. So the latest is this kid, Bryce Hall. Bryce Hall, I have a one-minute man coming out on it today to recap for everybody who's old. I love your intro. Dude, I've got that down to like a fucking T now. It's my favorite. Yeah, it's uh it's kfc back once again with an update for the tiktok craft with people of the age of 25 but don't really

care about tiktok but sort of kind of want to know what's going on without having to sign up for it or dive in too deep but they don't want to be lame and not fully know what's going on so here's the scoop so uh so dave is on this show this kid josh richards josh richards lives in a house with all of his buddies one of the guys is is named Bryce Hall. He looks like a cartoon character. He has, like, he's got to be one of the guys on steroids because he has, like, Big Papa Pump type of arms, but the rest of him is kind of normal size. And he, you know, dances on TikTok and makes a shit ton of money.

And his girlfriend is one of the famous TikTokers, Addison Rae. Now, Lil Yachty, you know who that is, Jared? No. Okay, Lil Yachty's a rapper. Lil Yachty made a song and said, I want Addison Rae to be my doctor, check my privates. Bryce Hall did not like that. And demanded an apology from Lil Yachty. Oh, please.

Guess what Lil Yachty did? What did he do? He apologized. Why? Which is like, I said, could you imagine someone back in the day

saying, hey Eminem, can you apologize to Britney Spears? Fuck you, dude. I'm a fucking rapper. You're a TikTok, you're trying to be

the sexy E-boy on TikTok. Fuck you. But I watched this video and there was, they were on a Periscope or live stream together. And he was like, listen, I get it. You know, I wouldn't want someone talking about my girl that way. So I'm sorry. And I'm like, oh, my fucking God.

All credibility lost forever. All gone. All of it gone. So. So he, you know, they apologize and they bury the hatchet. But nonetheless, they're still like beef. Bryce Hall, Lil Yachty. The BFF's Twitter account tweets out a screenshot from this kid's Spotify that says he's listening to Lil Yachty.

And they just said, is this you? Being like, yo, I thought you had beef with this guy. You made fun of your girl, but you're still listening to him. And this guy, Bryce Hall, goes nuclear because he's the most thin-skinned, insecure one of the whole bunch. He's the one a couple weeks ago when Alex Cooper went one by one and made fun of him. She said he looks like Sid from Ice Age. Okay. And he went nuts.

Like a pretty harmless – Wasn't he calling Alex old? Yes. He's like 26. He said this 30-year-old going through a midlife crisis. Yes, 26. And then today – or yesterday from this one, he said, Dave, you're so pathetic. A 50-year-old man who's hanging on to this 18-year-old, hanging out with high school kids for clout. Now me, that's my whole fucking shtick weekly on Instagram.

I call him 45-year-old Dave Pornhoy. I would love to be down with this guy. Be like, yeah, let's fucking – I'll be the washed-up guy hanging out with you. He's the washed-up guy hanging out with Josh. We'll fucking go at it, whatever. But he sucks so much. And Dave's just, like, killing him on Twitter. Vin Dogg's killing him on Twitter.

And Bryce is like, oh, look at all these olds coming after me. Like, just not a funny retort, not a witty response. Like, you know, we know he's thin-skinned about his girl. And it's just – and it's funny watching Dave fight these guys. And he's getting he's tapping into this audience that is young, but huge. But it's just like this is the new version of our beef and our and our funny storylines. It involves like assholes like Bryce Vine instead of involving like the deep weirdos of the Internet that it used to be. Yeah. You know, it used to be like cheesy boy.

It used to be like funny, quirky people from the internet now it's like a famous celebrity but he kind of sucks you know yeah i mean that's why i kind of like never age shame people like any when i was kind of going out the red sox writers like i would never be like yeah you're fucking old because like i know i'm gonna get old someday too so like that's gonna suck when i get to be like 45 and then you've got like the 30 something year old that's like coming at me for being old i'm like fuck yeah god damn it there's nothing i could do about that and what's weird is that because of things like social media and now like how young tiktok is skewing you know now the up-and-coming people are like teenagers yeah so there's like you know you're several generations

apart from the new up and comers. But yeah, on this latest thing, Dave, they watched the sex tape together. They looked at the abs of all the boys in the house and now they're beefing with this kid. So for Dave, I wonder what's going to happen. Like. Like, so this dude lives with this guy, Bryce Hall, the guy that Dave does the show with. And now there's like beef, you know, are they actual friends? That's what I can't tell if they have all been thrown in a house together for the purpose of money and content or if they're friends. I mean, this dude could identify all of his buddies anonymously by their abs.

So he knows them. Yeah, he knows them for sure. I'm sure it's like anything else. He's friends with some of them and not friends with other ones. But it's like wouldn't it was like me and you and you had a podcast with some dude and he was like crushing me and we were going at it don't you think i'd come to you and be like yo you're gonna have my back like at all yeah you're gonna like stick up for me like steve was just absolutely crushing you on section 10 and you maybe didn't join in or whatever but you just kind of like never said a word yeah i've been like the fuck all right good point and we like lived together yeah you know You know? Yeah. So Dave is just throwing

sticks at Dino. Are they like a Team 10 type deal? Yeah. The Sway House is what it's called. Oh, the Sway House. Yeah, I've heard of that. They make so much money. Do you know why

it's called the Team 10 house? There was 10 people? No. Why? 10 zeros. They wanted to be the first billion dollar YouTubers. Right, right.

Yeah. Nope, they could get there. I mean, if first billion-dollar YouTubers. Right, right. Nope. Yeah. Nope, they could get there. I mean, if Jake keeps fucking fighting people. Yeah, seriously. He might get there by himself. Yeah. Like, fuck.

They were talking about what type of money Jake Paul versus Logan Paul would draw. Eventually, that's happening. Yeah, it has to happen, but I think you can't blow that load too soon. No. Like, you keep fighting other people. I think fucking Jake or Logan only has one fight. One opponent. And he lost to KSI.

He had a draw, and he has a loss, and then a draw. Yeah. And he's getting to fight Flamie with her. And he thinks that he would be the favorite in a fight against Jake. Yeah, I don't know about that. Jake is no hands, bro. in a fight against Jake? Yeah, I don't know about that. Jake literally, he lost his goddamn mind because some poll from some schmuck Twitter account put a poll out there like,

who would win, Jake Paul or Logan Paul? And it was 80% for Logan. And he lost his goddamn mind. Dave was saying like... There's probably like 793 votes. The world thinks that I can't beat my brother? Bring it the fuck on. Dave was saying like there's probably like 793 votes yeah the world the world thinks that I can't

beat my brother bring it now fuck on we were saying how you gotta have like some bad blood there and Dave doesn't think there is

oh there is I think there is there is on Jake's side not Logan's I agree but I think that's enough even if it's one sided where it's like

I think that they would probably do a little bit more together if they were totally tight Jake has theake has the inferiority complex logan took a couple shots logan well logan logan will do it in like a like a playful way yeah yeah jake doesn't do it in a playful way jake got asked about the fight with logan and he was like i've got more money than him i get prettier girls than him like i'm bigger than him like I got like all this stuff and then Logan was like

what were you gonna say next like your dick's bigger like Logan was making fun of it Jake was dead serious I think Logan's like a little more clever a little more witty he's more mature

and he went through the fire and came out the other side he has more perspective where Jake is still in the like fuck the world I'm the best but you know what those both play

I like Logan better cause he's got like the more maturity to it but Jake just being the villain and embracing the role of like i don't give a fuck yeah that plays too yeah they asked logan like if you beat floyd what's next then he was like honestly i would just go like build a house in the middle of nowhere and just never is going to retire if he beats floyd you better never fucking touch a box of glove yeah he's like i he's like i'll just do prize fights for the rest of my life

like once a year, just whatever. What a world. Let's go to Matt in Cleveland. What's up, Matt? Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo. What's up? Hoo, hoo.

Let's go again. Dogtown Action. What's going on, boys? How are we? What do you got? Hey, so one of my favorite things in reminiscing in Barstool are like the inner beefs or like big blowout fights you guys may show on stool scenes.

You know, obviously KFC, you were a big one there with Nate or like when Rex was rolling around. I was curious if either of you two have moments like those that you're like, oh, shit, this was like hilarious that it went down. And also, what's the word with Sirius? If you guys have any update, like, radio-wise, will we be able to hear you guys on Sirius in the next couple months? That's really about it. Sirius still hasn't called me. As far as I know, no update with Sirius.

I mean, they just gave the bag to Howard Stern, and that became official. So we know there's money to go around. I don't know if there's any left after the Howard deal. I would always argue that we're the only other force on their network that really drives subscriptions. I would have to imagine, but I don't think there's any update there. But I also wouldn't know, so I can't. Don't quote me one way or the other.

I'm not in on those negotiations, so what do I know? What was the best beef? I loved. For so long, I was in the beef beef or I was hosting the radio shows. So I would be like when I used to host Barstool Radio and Dave would crush people. I would always try to throw him a lifeline. I would always try to play devil's advocate. I was always trying to help them out.

So I would always find myself inserting into someone else's beef and then making it part of my beef and then being so when like very rarely was i able to just sit back and like watch the fucking drama unfold yeah and i can't even think of a specific time but i do remember the rare times where i wasn't in it just being like the popcorn gift like yeah just fucking the best one ever was was was hammy gate like that was because like the world stopped so that that could happen. And we had plans. Nobody knew her. So we were all able to just kind of like – even that I remember being like I was kind of jumping in and talking shit too. But I was like I don't even know this girl.

Should I say anything? Yeah. But Dave just being full grudge from Dave was incredible. I think – Again, that day the stars aligned. 15-year-old Steve's parents were there. Yeah, yeah. And like weird things went down.

That was like – there was also another beef going on in the office that day oh it was like yp like yeah yp versus nate was happening and yp like showed up late and then nate yes nate buried him yeah they pushed him over and then hammy happened i mean tons of tons of shit yeah the hammy thing though because i feel like you know when if you're if you're working at barstool you probably started out as like a barstool fan and then you love old school dave and then it's like when your best friend gets the girlfriend, and the girlfriend absolutely sucks, and you're like, I can't wait for you guys to break up. Yeah. And then the breakup happens, and you've awoken this, because you know what Dave's capable

of. Yeah, it's like, oh shit, this fire-breathing dragon is about to come into the office. That day, everything was quiet if you had plans you canceled them i went to bed the night before being like this feels like as a kid it's like christmas yeah like you you got there like i'm not a come in early guy i came in early that was the office they put all they put radio on the tvs yes and everybody just sat in the middle yes everyone stopped what they were doing there was a powwow where they do the rundown in front of the bar they put all the tvs on and everyone just sat there and like during the

breaks everyone scrambled and went back to their desk i came out to like get water and it was like when the lights come yeah everyone's scattered uh and then like when because we could see we weren't just listening we could see like the radio room. So like everyone would go back in, they closed the door and everyone would be like scramble back over to like the monitors to watch it. It was, it was something to behold. It truly was. That was a special one for sure.

Rajan, what's up? Hey, what's going on fellas? How you guys doing? Good man. What do you got for us? One of them, I think one of the most underrated clips in Barstool history is KFC when it was Dave, you and Big Cat doing the first combine,

and when McShay was reading off the final results, and you guys were just throwing the ball, like, throwing the ball in the background, kind of jabbing back and forth at each other. And then the old lady with the walker creeps in the background. That is one of my favorite. I think it was the most underrated. It was just so barstool for the time. I remember that old lady.

I remember like writing a recap blog because I obviously got like torched, and that was so embarrassing for me, and I wrote like a wrestling blog being like, well, you're still talking about me. Like without me, that video flops. I'm the star of it. I was like except there was one other person that stole the show, and it was that old ass lady just just crippling along it was great we hijacked him for like eight hours it was supposed to be like yeah come out for like an hour do this thing then we'll

do the like the talk show part you can go and his advice to us was like you know you cannot do this with a real celebrity ever like if you do this with someone who matters they will never talk to you right and he's like i gotta fucking go man let's go to michael in houston what's your favorite with a real celebrity ever. Like, if you do this with someone who matters, they will never talk to you again. He's like, I got to fucking go, man. Let's go to Michael in Houston. What's your favorite old school moment? Hey, guys. I remember when you first came down to Houston probably about five years ago for the Super Bowl.

Actually, KFC, you tagged me Barstool Bear. I was at that bar, Kirby Ice House, every night watching you guys. And it just seemed like I had drinks with you guys after the last night. And after the success of that, it just seemed like everyone there who hung out was just like, yeah, we just took a major step in Barstool history. Well, you know, we thought we did. Like, I remember the numbers were crazy. That was the week that we were on Comedy Central every night, live television, big network.

And the numbers on social media were like, we got 1 billion tweets and 10 billion impressions and all these things that I was like, well, there's no way Comedy Central can't just give us the bag right now. And then we heard that they were like, yeah, that was a fun week, but absolutely not. Really? I don't think there was any chance we were going to get on tv because of that no why why i mean look at comedy central they you know they have not exactly evolved uh with the times and become like a powerhouse no i can't tell you the name of a show on comedy central besides like chapelle show if they still want it you know what i mean it's like they they had a chance had they evolved and been like – like you go for a Netflix special, right? It could have been like your Comedy Central special.

They got on the internet and got younger and got more cutting edge, and then instead they – that's why I thought they were going to go that direction. But I think they've had a lot of changes in the higher-ups with Viacom and all like executives and shit over the years. So I don't think – but I also don't think we were, I would be interested to go back and watch that and see if it was funny to see if, well, to see if it was as good as, like sometimes I was like, man, there was a couple nights I thought we did good.

A couple nights I thought that we like did not do good. There was a lot of drama going on behind the scenes. At that point, we were like, we were hanging on by a fucking thread. I was trying to like produce that show and get everyone to cooperate. It was ugly. I wonder if we went back and watched

if it was like, oh yeah, that wasn't that funny. Of course we didn't get a fucking TV deal out of this. I remember watching it and feeling like this is the top. You've seen it since initially it's infancy stages and then you get to a point

where it's like holy fuck like they're on comedy central right now but it didn't have that exact feeling because on one hand it's like yes they are on comedy central but it's not like boom we announced comedy central barstool sports like this is going to be a show that's definitely on yeah it wasn't like that it was almost like it was a tryout i'm watching a tryout and i think everyone knew that it was a tryout yeah it's like yeah we got it. And I think everyone knew that it was a tryout. It's like, yeah, we're doing Comedy Central for a week, and if it goes well – But then as you're seeing it, like, you're seeing all these social numbers, and you're like, how could Comedy Central not want this? I think it did, you know, okay TV ratings, and that's their TV channel.

But what was the time slot? It was like 12 o'clock. It was midnight. It was like 12 o'clock. It was midnight. It was tough. But I also think that at this point, if we got that offer again this time, I think we'd be like, we're an internet company. We can get more eyeballs by doing a Periscope stream at midnight. We don't need the television. Because I think we used to do that stuff for validation and for legitimacy. And that does work.

Same thing here with Sirius. But it's like, okay, we're legitimized now. Nobody doesn't know who we are, so we don't need this anymore. Right. You know, if you could help us get more eyeballs and more money, sure. But if not, we don't need to do Comedy Central for the name because we can go get, like, several hundred thousand people, like, you know, using fucking TikTok. Yeah, I mean. Using Periscope, using IG Live, whatever, you know.

You could make the case that, like, Dave just putting a video out on instagram and twitter would do better numbers than like a midnight tv show on central probably definitely at this point who's tuning in like set your alarms for fucking midnight yeah to watch it turn the channel i mean it just doesn't i mean people did it because it was like we're so invested and we want to support and like this is a huge moment for the company so like we're going to tune in for this week to to come out in numbers same thing with barstool van talk i remember remember like literally going, just like falling. I had a young kid at that point. Yeah.

Like went to sleep, set an alarm to turn on my TV, to get the ratings and to watch it. But if we were being real, a much better thing probably would have been them just doing like a half hour TV show on YouTube on, you know, whatever else. We are an internet company and it's crazy to think,

but it's almost like a backward step now to do television. Right. So you're basically doing it for almost like a backward step now to do television. Right. You're basically doing it for the paycheck versus the audience size. And I just don't know where it goes from here now. The gambling thing is so huge, and everybody – we're all still together, as Dan and Dave will certainly be together for the next decade. But everything else is kind of a little more separated and fragmented, not as as much you know it's like bittersweet in a way i think when the book gets written one day it'll be this will be like kind of the last days of it even being all under one roof or whatever but uh it's it's been a fucking tale that's for certain and again one i don't think will ever be written quite like it

again that's why i like i think for rough and rowdy like anytime that there's a like people are like oh uh if there's a uh a barstool beef fight them at rough and rowdy yeah i think it would be funnier if they incorporated more of like a pro wrestling style into rough and rowdy where if there is a beef like go to rough and rowdy and like cut promos like in the ring like have that like that like yeah like the hollywood like with like fucking smoke entrances and pyro and shit like you don't have to like actually box

like you can have your regular boxing matches but like if there is but the shit talking yes like have like a promo in the ring yes

like that would be challenge me to the next one down the road but then we write blogs and we do podcasts yes if you had more of the entertainment side

of pro wrestling mixed in with like rough and rowdy, that'd be fucking cool. All right. That's it for us here. Uh, a dog day.

Keep it moving with the dogs out in Chicago. Uh, keep it moving this weekend. No, no indoor dining. So bundle up and stay

outside, I guess. It's the last weekend, Kev. So get your partying in. It's on Monday. Oh, that's right.

All right. So, uh, we'll be back then and stay hot. Bye.
