Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, KFC Radio listeners, you can find every episode of KFC Radio on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Kevin, Kevin, Kevin, Kevin. Oh. Kevin. You're just ridiculously stupid. Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back. Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Starting point is 00:00:30 Is this Kevin? Welcome back. Oh, yeah, man, how you doing? You good? I know you like that. I know you like that. Come on, you've been back, man. You know, I see the girls in the club, they're getting wild. You know, this place is so weird.
Starting point is 00:00:47 So weird. We're a freak show. I think things have gone as meteoric as they've been. They've also been so steady in a weird way. Like, we started a long time ago, and we added a city. I started, and know, a long time ago and we just like we added a city. You know, I started and Dave added New York and then like for a while it was us and then we added Barstool U and then we just added New York. And it just like kept Philly and it just kept growing steadily. And so it's almost like I remember when I first had my kids, I was carrying them around and I was like, what am I going to do when these kids are like 40 are like 40 pounds like i gotta carry them like i'm tired from carrying them when they're like a
Starting point is 00:01:28 little newborn and every parent just told me you kind of grow they grow so steady and you just get used to it as you carry them that like you won't even notice i feel like that's kind of what's happened here and i just watched brandon like tickle nick or something they tickled each other multiple times they were tickling each other and then Nick grabbed a huge pile of disposable masks, like taking them home. And, you know, I just made fun of KB, and he yelled at me, and Vibs just fed me disgusting snacks. And I just look around, and I'm like, where the fuck am I? Dave just watched Kevin Bonner manhandle Brandon Walker again, and he didn't know what was happening,
Starting point is 00:02:07 but Kevin walked back over to where he was sitting, and he was like, what was going on? Why were you guys wrestling in the hallway? And he was like, oh, Brandon has this whole shtick about how he tries to beat me up, but he can't. What? Kate's knocked up. I just did a Sopranos TikTok with Glennie, me and Zod.
Starting point is 00:02:23 I was Zod's mom. She's Carmela. I was AJ. Which, by the way, Zod, I mean, we're on year two of doing this because you sat on my lap for It's a Wonderful Life last year. Oh, shit. I actually forgot about that. I feel like I've seen a movie start that way. Marty.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Black midgets sitting on a white girl's lap. Like, I don't know where this video is going. Yeah, Marty and I were Zah's parents. Who was the, was it you and Glennie were the kids? Yeah, it was me and Balls. Yeah, I mean, just, oh, and then this morning, to make it even weirder, so we shot, because of course the barstool difference, we're shooting all of our shows early in the week so we can have Thanksgiving off.
Starting point is 00:03:02 So we shot our NFL Sunday show today. Now, we did shoot the NFLfl or the the thanksgiving day special too so it made a little bit of sense but deon sanders just walks into the old office and immediately just starts screaming where's my balls talking about glenny balls but just over and over like where's my balls where's my balls i'm like this is a weird world that like one of the most famous athletes on the planet wants to know where his balls are and when he says where are my balls he means glennie paul's the the uh rotund fella who you know plays video games and yells about the sopranos he yeah so he um just really when you look around here sopranos sopranos is that how you say pranos i don't know what do you guys say
Starting point is 00:03:41 i think i say sopranos i think it's totally sopranos what do you guys say? I think I say Sopranos. Sopranos. Sopranos. I think it's Sopranos. Totally Sopranos. Sopranos. What do you say? I say Sopranos, but I also say Mariano. I think Mariano and Sopranos go hand in hand. Yeah, I don't really know. I've never seen it, which is sad.
Starting point is 00:03:55 I don't like it. You know what I don't like? John Feidelberg, because he's a trash bag. I mean, he's a... I just saw him walk into Aaron's office, an actual garbage baby. He's like a garbage pail. Like a Cabbage Patch, Garbage pail kid, whatever they're called. Like, he's that fucking...
Starting point is 00:04:08 He's Pigpen from Peanuts. He's disgusting. What we were doing along the bar, another thing to add to just the element of this place. I mean, Frank is just walking around today dressed as a turkey. Dave promised... Well, he didn't promise, but I took it as a promise because it's something that I would prefer that Tank's quota, if you will, like his when he's allowed to be in this office would be limited because God love him. He's a bit much at times. And I am seeing no limitations.
Starting point is 00:04:41 None. And I'm wondering when Dave says that Like Who Is going to Enforce that Well You're telling me Dave's gonna wanna be The bad guy
Starting point is 00:04:50 Who sits down and says Hey listen You know You can only come in Twice a week And that's never Gonna be enforced So the day that
Starting point is 00:04:55 Tank decides he's Coming in seven days a week Guess what's happening Tank's coming seven days a week Oh I think we're I think we're there Yeah I mean I think we're there
Starting point is 00:05:01 He's walking around Dressed as a turkey Scaring people He's gobbling And like Flapping his wings And shit, I mean. I think we're there. He's walking around dressed as a turkey, scaring people. He's gobbling and like, ah, and like flapping his wings and shit. Yeah, and I mean, on lowering the bar, he actually like terrified me because he popped up behind me and like. Well, Vibs was like, he's supposed to be ushering people off camera when they're done. And he's like, his timing's a little bit off.
Starting point is 00:05:17 Because just in the middle of my episode, he walked in the background going, gobble, gobble, gobble. And I was just like, what is happening? Because he says he has trigger words. If you said the words thanksgiving or turkey so he just plays his own games in his own head that nobody even is aware of did you know that he's the one who brought that candy in yes i was like fuck you frank he so it was very funny because it was like you know that the tank quota does it's like he has a desk
Starting point is 00:05:39 now so we're we're i mean we're toast here but vibs took a break from shooting lauren the bar because he was waiting for people to get done or recording and to go shoot more. And Frank just, again, dressed as a full-grown turkey, standing in the middle of the office going, all right, Vibs, you let me know. I'm going to be at my desk. I'm going to be at my desk. It's like we know how this works around here. I'm going to be at my desk. I'll be here.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Hubs took his headphones off and goes, why is he yelling? I was like, doesn't matter. Just put your headphones on. He's not yelling. He's just talking. He's just that loud of a human. He's like loud sean it's uh it's it's just a whack pack you know i know this was always dave's dream is to have the whack pack of a fantasy factory but like boy oh boy are we here now and it's just and doug's can
Starting point is 00:06:19 sing doug's got pipes man i saw your tweet this one doug's doug's got i think it's so funny it's so funny that his name, I guess some people don't want me to say his name, but I said his real first name in the tweet because I think it's just hilarious that, I actually noticed this when I filmed the Doug's den the other day. Doug's was walking by, and I said, yo, Doug's, and he just kept walking. And I was like, yo, Doug's, like clearly loud enough that he And I was like, yo, Doug's. Like, clearly loud enough that he would have heard me. And he kept walking because it's not his name. Like, there's only a little small group of people in this world that have ever called him Doug's. And relatively recently.
Starting point is 00:06:56 So I don't think he's replied. He's only been Doug's for three months. And for the majority of it, it was on the internet. And it wasn't, like, to his face. No one called him, yeah. So he's here now. And I was yelling his name. And I don't think he was answering because it's not his name. Yeah, wasn't like to his face so he's here now and i was yelling his name and i don't think he was answering because it's not his name yeah but he has to go by yeah
Starting point is 00:07:09 i don't get used to it and shit but i feel like it's like when he tries to get us to call him eric it's just not gonna happen i feel like i i think keith got his ear on that one keith was always very big even in the early days of like you like you don't call people by their blog name you call them by their real name and i never really got that it doesn't matter to me it's just like a nickname but you know him and him and nate are like tight and so i feel like that like weared off like rubbed off on nate to the point that he's like you know you have to call me eric and i'm like well now i now i'm definitely gonna call you nate now i'm gonna triple down because that's ridiculous the problem is is that k marco sounds like a nickname. Keith is a real
Starting point is 00:07:46 name. I don't call Dan Big Cat. I don't call you KFC. But I would. Well, right. But I just call Dan by his name because it sounds like a real name. Nate is a real name. But that might make it even more weird for him. Well, that's his fault for naming himself that. If you call him Nate Dog,
Starting point is 00:08:02 I think we made him do that. Oh, you guys made him call himself Nate? I'm pretty sure we were like Nate Dogg, Nate Blogg. It sounds like a nickname. Okay. But that's kind of how it works. Nobody gets to really pick their name. It's usually like, this is what's best for your future, you know?
Starting point is 00:08:18 Caleb wanted to be the dadfather, and it was like, no, nobody's going to get that. Just do this, you know? It's like, I'm not going to ever call Spider Daniel. Never. Never. I'm not going to ever call Spider Daniel. Never. Never. But then you run into like the... I'm not going to call PFT by his real name ever. The, you know, we have two Donnies, neither of which are named Donnie.
Starting point is 00:08:34 We have, you know, like Hubs is Eric. No, he's not. No, he's definitely not. He's Hubs. Absolutely not, you know? I mean, nobody... John and Fights. That goes back and forth.
Starting point is 00:08:43 There's a lot of weird names that are not even nicknames that are just full blown other names that people are going by for some fucking reason. You know, and then even things like Kate, people call her Barstool Kate. Like you can just call her Kate. Yeah, I don't I don't know. Not just because a lot of people just call you by your Twitter name. It's hard factor, Pat. Yeah, it was gay, Pat. Now, I mean, we just Pat.
Starting point is 00:09:03 We're not allowed to say that. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know, but I just. Very few people here just go by their name. You're one of the very rare ones. Most of the girls do. Rhea, Fran. Yeah, I guess the girls.
Starting point is 00:09:14 All the girls do. You're funny too, though, because I feel like a lot of people say Casey Smith. Yeah. Like they put the last name in there. Yeah. It's pretty rare that people just say Casey. That's true. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:22 None of the girls have nicknames, right? I think that might just be a girl and guy thing too. I think guys are more prone to nicknames because we're just like. That's true. Yeah. None of the girls have nicknames, right? I think that might just be a girl and guy thing, too. I think guys are more prone to nicknames because we're just like dumb and banter. I guess Rhea is Rhea, but she's called that. I didn't know what, when she introduced herself, I didn't know what she said. I just went with it. Because it's a weird, like, Rhea is like, I was like, did I mishear that? What is it?
Starting point is 00:09:39 And then when you, you know, realize it's the Maria, then you get it. But at first I was like, I don't know what that girl just said. And I'm going to just nod in agreement and say, okay, and ask someone what, you know, what's the Maria then you get it but at first I was like I don't know what that girl just said and I'm gonna just nod in agreement and say okay and ask someone what you know what's her name later I'll ask somebody else because I don't know what that what just happened there I mean even like Katie Stats is still Katie yeah some people put stats at the end yeah but I mean I if I named myself Ashley and then was mad that people called me Ashley I'd be like well that's a real name Nate yeah Nate is like I I can't force my brain to not hear a real name. But you know what's really weird is like things like Carl, like Carl's name is not Carl.
Starting point is 00:10:11 But Carl is a real name. So it's like, I feel weird when I'm talking to people like outside and they're like, oh, not weird. Like, I mean, you can call whatever, like, they're like, ah, big cat, big cat. Cause it's just Dan to me. So like, even in content, like sometimes I'll say i'll say dan oh big cat from pardon my take just in case like people don't put that together nate is never going to be eric in my mind never doug's is never going to be anything but doug's in my mind no the tank always will be frank the tank doug's having the pipes blew me
Starting point is 00:10:37 away i don't know why i mean big pipes singing such a weird thing i feel like I'm stoned right now the way I'm talking and acting. But like it is Friday. Yeah, it's basically Friday for us. Sorry to anybody else who has to just go to work. There's nothing worse in the world. And then having to work on the Friday after Thanksgiving, the people who have jobs, you got to work on Black Friday. That sucks.
Starting point is 00:11:03 I think I went as far to say last year that like if you like a good barometer of like success and happiness in life is if you're somewhere where you get to take that day off. Because like certain jobs, you know, if you're in the trenches and you're doing like manual labor or like hourly wage and stuff that's like, you know, you're just really trying to earn an honest living, that work's got to get done on Friday anyway. I guess unless you're in the medical field because you can be pretty successful. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're right.
Starting point is 00:11:29 There are exceptions. But the general idea of like I work at the factory or I work at the register. Or I work wherever. I mean, God, if you work retail, you have to go to work on Black Friday. You should get hazard pay. You should get like if you work at like a Walmart on Black Friday, you should get like double time and at like a walmart on black friday you should get like time you should like double time and a half that's crazy i worked in retail for one well i was helping one of my girlfriends work in retail for one year in college and had to be at work on
Starting point is 00:11:54 black friday at 4 a.m and i was like at what like a clothing at a mall i was it was a pet store which i hate saying now but it's called the puppy store and i just were they doing like black friday sales oh yeah i sold a shit lot of puppies buy puppy buy one get one free puppies no just like i don't i don't know what i guess i guess it is a you know a lot of gifts is like you put the puppy you wrap up the puppy put a bow on its collar but i would i would actually give the puppies their medicine and i would give them their um i would help her with the chips because she was like a part owner anyways i did one black friday in retail i was like i will never ever ever do this again i feel like it's transitioned so much to internet that if you still do go out you're now like the scales of scales you're the trash trash you know like the fights back in the day back in the day you had to i understand it
Starting point is 00:12:41 now you don't have to, but people choose to. That means you are, like, really garbage. Well, people probably just love the adrenaline rush, too. I guess so. I mean, I know. I mean, I have a – one side of my family is very, very rich, and they, like, had a – you know, still have, like, a family tradition to, like, go shopping out in person on Black Friday. I also think it depends on like what time you go like i've had friends you know they're like okay like if we go in the afternoon then we like you know go have some wine go do that but some of it is i mean getting like lining
Starting point is 00:13:14 up outside walmart to get your tv no again like you can get that all on the internet now i understand back in the day but now you just roll over and buy it and you don't have to even put on pants i guess i always forget that i should probably buy some stuff on black friday too cyber monday is the whatever it is like either way i'm just like i was just shopping now it's just a cyber week i there were black friday deals that started last week yeah cuts clothing started last wednesday i mean i feel like i feel like you can go get like appliances at Home Depot or Lowe's the whole entire month of November and December. It's like, oh,
Starting point is 00:13:49 it's our Black Friday. So it's like November the 5th. Like when does it stop? Like does it just keep expanding to the point that you have like Black Friday in August? Probably.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Where does it end? It's like when you start seeing Halloween stuff in the middle of the summer. But I have a hard and steady rule that I will never change. And people are trying to change it in 2020.
Starting point is 00:14:06 So I go, there's no rules. Like, no, this is a rule. And I love Christmas. Love it. Love the whole scene, scenery, whatever. You cannot start Christmas until Friday after Thanksgiving. You just simply cannot. I think we talked about this where I think make an exception for this year because people
Starting point is 00:14:20 just need some sort of happiness. That's fine. I don't want that. But I was gonna I was I didn't end up doing it out of laziness, but I was going to do my tree with my kids this past weekend and just didn't end up doing it. But I had resigned myself. I thought the October 31st, like November 1st switch was crazy.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Oh, no. John's fights come sauntering in here. What are you interrupting with? But I didn't think that the holiday season like that early was going to be like that enjoyable, but I can understand why people want to do it, but it's just too much for me. I love the idea of having, yeah, I mean, John just interrupted an entire radio show for no reason. There are rules here, John Henry.
Starting point is 00:15:07 The Christmas month, like, I think that's the reason, I mean, first of all, like, I just love Christmas music. I love Christmas lights. I'm totally basic when it comes to that. But I think I love it so much because it is a short period of time. Like, if I started doing it early November, then it would kind of lose its luster. But, I mean, Friday, the tree's going up. I know that people, you've probably, have you ever even had a Shiner Bock beer? No, I don't even know.
Starting point is 00:15:29 So, Shiner Bock is a Texas beer. Mm-hmm. But they have a. Crystal Sale or something. Called the Shiner Cheer. Fucking delicious, Kevin. I'll see if my parents. I'm sure I can find it somewhere in the city.
Starting point is 00:15:39 It was really hard. What does it taste like? It's like a warm. It tastes like Christmas. Yeah, it tastes like Christmas. When I say, I don't mean warm like the temperature. I mean, it's like a, like it's a a warm it tastes like christmas yeah it tastes like christmas when i say i don't mean warm like the temperature i mean it's like a like it's a warm fuzzy feeling like i like does it taste like a christmas tree no no it has like pecans no it's not sweet it's not sweet it has
Starting point is 00:15:56 like like and when of course when i say this you're gonna be like that sounds like a weird combination i think it's like pecans peaches and cinnamon like it's a but it's a it's very good but it is delicious. But I will not have it until Friday. Until the right time. Thursday, you watch football all day. You eat a ton. Friday is when you start planning for Christmas.
Starting point is 00:16:14 I got to go get – you know what I do a lot of times is when I'm putting away – when I'm moving and when I'm putting away things like decorations, like I'm pretty sure last year on January 5th, let's call it, when I put it all away, I think I just threw out like perfectly good stuff. I think I was just like the ornaments fell off the tree, and then these lights broke, and this one kind of got bent, and I was just like, ah, fucking throw it out. I'm not going to need it for 364 days.
Starting point is 00:16:37 And then I'm like, shit, I could use all that stuff, and I threw it out right now. And you should buy all that stuff during the summer. Absolutely. Why do we wait? I don't know. I don't know. But when I first moved to new york i realized how hard it is to store all your christmas stuff because we live in shoe boxes but i did it last year because but my
Starting point is 00:16:53 first year to second year i threw all my stuff away so it's like i just don't have space like i'll put my christmas i'll just buy a new christmas tree the next year i'm like i'm not doing this well i last year i was it was the first christmas in my new apartment, and I was in single dad mode, wanted to make sure that Christmas at dad's house was very legit and enjoyable, so I hung the icicles and the snowflakes, and I laid out fake snow. Oh, I remember. It looked like Elf. I had this tree.
Starting point is 00:17:19 Oh, yeah. I mean, I went all out, and they did enjoy it, but you learn with your kids that like you go all out for things and they're just like okay cool they see one thing that they get excited about like you know they did really like the train so i'll probably do that again even the train though i think they kind of like broke the tracks playing with it and rather than just like fix that or i just probably threw the whole fucking thing out those are kind of expensive but you know like you you do these things where you put like blood sweat and tears into it and then your kids they do enjoy, but they enjoy it for like 45 seconds and they don't enjoy it to the point that they're like, thank you, father. This must have taken you such a long time and cost a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:17:53 You know? Yeah. They enjoy like a four year old and a three year old would where they're like, OK, cool. And I'm like, that's not enough. That was not enough of a return on my investment. Do you remember Christmas decorations as a kid? Because that's like because you're doing it for your kids because you want them to remember it, but do you remember
Starting point is 00:18:07 what your mom did when you were that age? I remember specific things. Let me bring Dylan in here because I bet he'll have some stories as well. I remember specific things. What's going on, guys? When I was a kid, we had the kids' ornaments and the adult
Starting point is 00:18:22 ornaments. My mom had these icicles that were crystal. They were like spiraled kind of. And then we had ones that were kind of like teardrop, like long teardrops. And they were dope. They were cool. As like a kid, I thought of them almost as like a lightsaber or like a thing, you know. And I was like – at that point, I was into like crystals and those purple rocks, those geodes.
Starting point is 00:18:48 So those were the cool ornaments. My mom would wrap them all up nicely. And then we would hang them together where she would make sure that she does it right. And I remember once a year, I would drop one of them or knock them off. And they would break. And I would try to hide them and the whole nine. So I remember the nice ornaments I can remember my dad he he he just taped like a triangle alongside the roof just like lights up and lights down we didn't do anything else on that but I remember him on the fucking ladder oh yeah 30 feet in the air stapling them in with the gun um my dad my dad got like and
Starting point is 00:19:20 he just uh he's still to this day and he still gets up there in his mid-60s on the roof and just like the one single yeah you know just like the white – all the way around though. All the way around the house. To me, that's like I think you either go all out or you don't have to do that. Like, Dad, you don't have to get up there and just do one strip of lights. You know what? I think he – and of course there are the big outdoor lights. I think it – and actually I know now because he said it.
Starting point is 00:19:39 It's an excuse to just be outside all day. Well, that's the difference. Like he's just like I can just be outside and be away from this and i'm decorating for christmas but i the only things i truly remember that young is my dad doing that because my sister and i when we got older we also used to get up on the roof like and just like hang out and watch him do it which i'm sure he hated because he's probably like this is my thing it's warm out there right i mean i mean it depends sometimes we've had white christmases really yeah yeah sometimes i mean granted it's usually 50s um but i remember we had two trees the adult tree and the kids tree.
Starting point is 00:20:07 And I remember the ornaments, but I don't remember anything else about decorations. Like, I remember my mom's tree, the adult tree downstairs was like the white lights, the crystal ornaments, the really pretty things. And then the kids tree was the colored lights and the Disney ornaments. I didn't do that, but I know like my ex-wife, her mom makes this tree every year that looks like like not like Santa's wife made it. Mrs. Claus made it. It's like perfect.
Starting point is 00:20:31 All symmetrical. Like if there's one on this side, there's one on that side. It has the tinsel and I mean perfection. So I don't remember individual things, but I do remember, or I mean I do kind of remember some individuals and I just remember the vibe of it all. So I do kind of appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:20:47 But I guess, and I guess that's probably the same way my kids felt like, oh, this is really cool, but they don't, they're not going to go, oh, wow, the icicles, like the light makes it look like the icicles are falling and this looks like snow and all that. You can do whatever you want as long as you do it on the Friday after Thanksgiving. You can't do it before. What's the Dominican traditions? Do you guys do anything different than us white folks when it comes to the trees and decorations i used to hate the fucking tree shit because my mom used to be like nah you got we got to get a real tree every year oh i'm team
Starting point is 00:21:14 fake all the way baby and all that bullshit man and then my pop sees with the gifts when we were young he used to be oh no i'm gonna get you clothes and clothes and i used to hate that bullshit oh yeah nobody want to close at that age now i'm like i love some fucking fresh new wardrobe yeah i would love like me to be excited but you guys were talking about chaos earlier and i got a story i haven't had drama in a while oh boy let's go what do we got we got drama now like so yesterday i'm traveling i get to charl where my pops is. And he comes up. He's picking up from the airport. I'm like, oh, what up, pops?
Starting point is 00:21:47 Blah, blah, blah. He's like, oh, so I'm inviting, like, five more people at Thanksgiving. Like, you're going to love it. And this man's an agent of fucking chaos. So I go, who are you inviting? He goes, oh, I ran into your ex-wife and her family and stuff. And we were talking because he still he still talks to the pops and he's like oh i invited them over and i'm like there's no way this chick said yeah no
Starting point is 00:22:11 he's fucking with you right that's gotta be a joke and she is i'm thinking it's a joke the whole time and i was like what they say he's like no no they're coming and i'm like he's joking because she would have texted me absolutely right yeah i'm playing it cool i'm like all right i'm not letting them see me sweat all of a sudden i get to his place whatever i unpack i was like let me shoot this girl a text real quick i was like yo my pops invited you to thanksgiving he said your pops said yeah is that true she's like oh it must have slipped my mind yeah my dad said it must have slipped my mind. Yeah, my dad said yes. Must have slipped my mind? What? What do you mean it slipped your mind?
Starting point is 00:22:48 Are you fucking crazy? How did that slip your mind? I mean, that. Oh, no, since my dad said yes, I'm just going with the flow. You know, you're telling my dad to talk. Let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a question, because I remember you guys, you know, kind of rekindled for a split second there during quarantine. Do you think that someone or multiple people in your family might have an incredibly misguided, it's the holidays, let's get these two kids back together in the same room and see what might happen?
Starting point is 00:23:20 Do you think that this could be orchestrated in an attempt to rekindle? If my dad is thinking like that, he's grown up, I guess. I feel like he's not... What they're trying to do is like a Hallmark Christmas movie, you know? And trying to like, yeah, they'll get back together. But it feels like your dad is young and in tune and would never do something silly like that. But boy, who invites an ex-wife's family to without consulting the ex-husband? Unless it's a plot.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Right. Unless that's the whole point. It wasn't drama during the holidays for years, man. He brought one time. He brought when my mom and my aunt didn't get along, and they weren't talking for like a year and a half on Thanksgiving. He brought it over just to see drama. It wasn't the season.
Starting point is 00:24:10 Oh, man. He just wants – he's an agent of chaos. I was about to say. He just wants the world to burn. Well, that's the unfortunate part about the holidays that it – the holidays can be great and the holidays can be well for multiple reasons you know if you're alone bro i mean that's what i like i i actually um i can do i can hang out with my ex-wife like we like on thursday i'm gonna go over to her place we're gonna hang out then she's gonna take her kids her her the kids to her family's place for, like, the actual Thanksgiving meal
Starting point is 00:24:46 because I just don't think it's possible for me to, unfortunately, hang out with, like, her family anymore. But her, I'm good. But, like, to invite the, you know, he's going to bring the mother-in-law and she's going to bring, I mean, that's. I don't mind the hanging out part. It's the temptation part. That's why I stayed away. There it is. See?
Starting point is 00:25:04 There it is. And they probably know that. There it is, Dylan. And applies to any way. There it is. See? There it is. And they probably know that and they're thinking that. Completely different situation. These guys want you to fucking have a little Christmas magic. So,
Starting point is 00:25:15 like, it's the temptation part. You know what you gotta do, Dylan? You know what you gotta do? You gotta bring another chick. Like, sure,
Starting point is 00:25:21 come on over. And you just bring another girl. Don't do that. You could hire a chick for all I care. You want me to go? Yeah, bring, like, sure, come on over. And you just bring another girl. Don't do that. You could hire a chick for all I care. You want me to go? Yeah, bring, like get some bombshell
Starting point is 00:25:29 to show up with you dressed up in some fucking hoe outfit. Unreal move. Don't do it. Don't do it, Dylan. If you put up the money for a fire escort,
Starting point is 00:25:41 that's okay. If you want to cook it. I mean, that's like, hey, P pops, you want to see drama? You want to stir the pot? You want to see some drama? I got some for you. I am bringing, and make it like the whitest white girl of all time.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Get some hot, slutty white chick to show up and just be like, get her drunk on purpose and have her just be all over you and be like, yeah, listen, you can come. Merry Christmas. Listen, if I could somehow, somehow some way, bring my mom to this. She would never do it. That would go right back at him. Oh, yeah, you want to bring my ex? I'm bringing your ex.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Don't bring another girl, Dylan. Don't do it. It's not worth it. You should not do any of these things. Don't bring your mother. Don't bring a girl. Go drink. But it is like.
Starting point is 00:26:19 And watch football. God damn. That's the double side. The other side of the holidays is that I feel like the holiday season is what I love, and the actual holidays, specifically Christmas, a little bit. The buildup to Thanksgiving isn't much. The buildup to Christmas is that's the music and the movies and the cheer. And then the day of it actually i always am kind
Starting point is 00:26:46 of depressed by like noon on christmas i'm like all right it's over right for sure um so like so the day of can be you know if you're alone it sucks if you are going through drama it sucks if you know you have mental health issues it sucks and then you know shit like this like the day of these events right of that is the silver lining for you know i mean 2020 in general but like a lot of us aren't traveling because we like i don't feel safe going to texas in front of my parents who you know are older and whatever else so we were talking about this the other day like there's a group of us that all hang out already so it's not like we're bringing people around that we haven't that it's like oh we actually get to have a thanksgiving with like our best friends right it's an interesting year so
Starting point is 00:27:28 we don't want to leave the city but at the same time it's like well we it's kind of an excuse to see what holidays look like without family drama right i'm gonna let you go right now yeah man but but i do think big battle on thanksgiving the skin the skin of the cowboys we We actually need to fight for something. Who would have thought? The NFC East is so fucking garbage. It's been that way for so long. But it's so bad.
Starting point is 00:27:52 It's so bad that it's going to be good. That 425 game is so bad that I'm excited for it. Everyone's going to be fat, sleepy, and drunk by then. Oh, yeah. Happy Thanksgiving. Have a good one. We also got Trevor on the line. He's talking about dealing with his family during the holidays.
Starting point is 00:28:05 That's the other side of this whole fiasco. What's up, Trev? Dude, okay, I'm still with Casey. I personally hate the holidays on my side of the family because my mom's side of the family is so effing boring. They tell the same story that I tell. Yeah, yeah. And my cousins, they're flaky as you know what. They come, they don't come.
Starting point is 00:28:24 And the other guy was like, where's your effing girlfriend? You should be having one right now. I literally looked at him like, I don't know what to do anymore. I want to escape this year. Okay, well. I went to Cleveland this weekend. I didn't help. So you're in Connecticut.
Starting point is 00:28:37 Do you have to travel? How old are you? 28. And where is your family? New Canaan, Connecticut. So you're both in connecticut you're not you're not long distance no i just moved back a while like a year ago anyway yeah that's the problem but do you and but you live alone or you live with them i live alone okay so i think you know it's tough when you're in the same state or nearby but this is the year to do the holidays on your own we're gonna hit our break but we're gonna when we come back after
Starting point is 00:29:11 the break thanks for the call trevor we're gonna explain how and why this is the year that you could potentially change holidays for the rest of your life facts come on back after the break. to the point that the world as we know it became different. And then, I don't know, like a few zillion years later, how old was the Roman Empire? How many thousands of years ago? Like, I don't know, 20,000, 20, 50 million thousand years ago? Roman comes along again, saves the world with their new swipes that help you last longer in bed, which I would argue is actually more important and more influential
Starting point is 00:30:04 than whatever the Romans contributed back during their empire days. Like, yeah, sure. Like I said, literature and art and all that was important, but making sure that you can fuck long way more important. Okay. You open up these swipes, you rub them on your dick. It makes you last like 50% longer. So, you know, in my case, we're going for like two minutes to like three minutes.
Starting point is 00:30:25 You know what I mean? It's like, it's a big difference because it allows you enough time to get the job done, enjoy yourself. She enjoys it. Everybody comes. Everybody's happy.

I got to talk about my girl Taylor Swift. But first, we got an update from our boy Azaria, the Lego legend. What's the scoop, bro? Tell me some good news.
Starting point is 00:35:02 Are we getting some Barstool Legos? Where are we at with the whole process? I think so. Really? Yeah. Eric and Ardini wants to say I had a pretty good call on Friday with the Barstool store side of things
Starting point is 00:35:18 and I think it's going to be a limited amount. I'm not worried about the Barstool side of things. I'm worried about the Lego side of things are they on board? it's custom so Lego isn't involved I'm doing this
Starting point is 00:35:33 oh ok ok so as long as you got the barstool approval you're good to go you can let it rip? yeah that's awesome so that means are we going to sell it then or is it going to be sold through like do you have a storefront or where can people buy it? I think it will be sold through your store. Okay, cool.
Starting point is 00:35:54 So basically they kind of like are allowing you to use the Lego, I don't know, look or whatever. You're going to design it for us and Barstool is going to sell it and we'll get a limited run of Barstool Legos for – I don't know, look or whatever, you're going to design it for us, and Barstool's going to sell it, and we'll get a limited run of Barstool Legos for, I don't know, is it soon or does it take a while? It's probably going to take a while, because I'm mainly doing the solo with my brother, and I need to redesign it, including six sets in it. Part of my take, KFC Radio, lowering the bar, things like that.
Starting point is 00:36:31 Love it. So it's going to take a while to design, but the outcome is going to be really cool. Fucking love it, man. That's great news. I'm very happy to hear. I never really doubted that Erika and Barstool would be down with this because why not i think it's gonna be a very cool thing for us and for the fans to uh you know a little nostalgia to play with like their old school favorite toys with their barstool personality so good job man get back to it and uh and make sure you make my my shit look cool all right yeah appreciate it man
Starting point is 00:37:00 keep us updated on the whole process there goes az Azaria, the Lego legend, the most fucking, the most. It's so cool. Like, I don't know, smart and driven 15-year-old since Bob Fox. I mean, it's insane that people are just that good at what they do. Speaking of, I have to slander Brandon Walker a little bit. Go ahead. Did you see trivia this morning? No. So, John, Cons, and I are a team. And Brandon originally
Starting point is 00:37:26 scheduled us months ago as, and I quote, an FCS cupcake team because they were needing to pad their stats. We beat them. Right, you beat them like three times. Just three times. But my problem is, is now people are saying that Cons and I are cheating. Twitter is saying that. I'm like, I got
Starting point is 00:37:41 answers wrong. If I was cheating and I got answers wrong, Well, that's what a cheater would do do is you can sprinkle in a couple wrong ones. Well, no, I'm telling you right now that I don't know. Why are they saying you're cheating? I don't know. They're just saying there's egregious cheating. Just because you're getting things right? We're getting things right.
Starting point is 00:37:53 And you're a dumb bitch? Well, and also all three of us had Monday Night Football on, on our phones or on TV. So I guess like that. I was like, I'll take a punishment if you're mad at me for looking down at the Monday Night Football score. But what's happening is that people are realizing that maybe Brandon is just not the best at trivia. Now, he's better at trivia than me, 1,000%. If it was me against Brandon Walker, I would probably get shredded. Trivia is a funny thing because you know what you know and you don't know what you don't know.
Starting point is 00:38:15 And if you get the right question, you're good. You get the wrong question, you know, the smartest guy can be like, oh, fuck, I don't know. And there's also things like celebrity mashups where you physically could not cheat if you wanted or listening to songs or whatever but it's just so funny to me a bigger picture because it's like yeah we're three you know we're uh jeff has now named us the nightmares because john said we're brandon's worst nightmare because brandon hates losing to me just absolutely fucking hates i could have the smartest people on the planet on my team and he would be mad well i think that's part of it too is you know it's me well but but Feidelberg is an idiot. Kahn is like a drunk dummy. And I'm outwardly spoken about being really bad at trivia.
Starting point is 00:38:50 But there's also pop culture questions. That's what I mean. It's easy to get pop culture questions. Obviously, you go on like Jeopardy. You have a breadth of knowledge where it's like you know everything about everything. But for us, it's like he's going to know – yeah, if the category is like 1980s MLB, he's going to smoke everybody. Oh, yeah. If the category is like 2020 pop music, he's not going to know. Oh, yeah. No. The category is like 2020 pop music.
Starting point is 00:39:06 He's not going to know. There'll be questions. I have no clue. Like who was drafted? Like what? You know, that's where Jeff is. Jeff does a good job of picking like the category. Right.
Starting point is 00:39:16 But what makes me laugh even harder is like seeing as this trivia thing has been going on for so long. It's how mad people get about it. Like, like Mark, I was talking about it this morning when I got to work. Like our Twitter mentions are just furious. Like, oh, they're egregiously cheating. It's like, guys long it's how mad people get about it like i like mark cons and i were talking about it this morning when i got to work like our twitter mentions are just furious like they're egregiously cheating it's like guys it's it's okay i mean same thing's going on with jenga people are fired up about oh my god dan's move this morning have you seen this no it was good i so i was recording and i like got off of the recording in my first like three or four text messages from people that don't work at barstool we're like are you seeing what's
Starting point is 00:39:44 happening i was like what are you doing watching Jenga? That's amazing. That's dual screen popping the fuck off. So I log on there and there are like 5,000 people just watching the Periscope. I don't know how many were watching on the website or whatever. Right. I think it was on like block 40. And Dan pulls one and it stays.
Starting point is 00:39:58 But as soon as he puts it back up, it starts to fall. And he just somehow maneuvers it. Like the block is already on there. He's holding it up with one hand, twisting it. You can do that? Oh, yeah. You can hold the tower with your hand?
Starting point is 00:40:10 Yes, to make sure it doesn't fall. You can't use your other hand. You use silicone and you only use one hand. Oh, but because he put it on top, then he had a free hand. Right. So he took the block off, he put it on top,
Starting point is 00:40:21 it started to kind of like it was going to fall, and then he stabilized it. And then him and Roan were like, you're mathematically trying to figure out like which blocks to move that feels like it shouldn't that shouldn't be allowed you need to watch it because and people were losing their minds like that should be illegal yeah yeah it's somehow but as long as so you have one free hand to do whatever you want but and there's not like uh i would have figured like when you put your block on top that like your move has come to an end or something like that. No.
Starting point is 00:40:46 As long as you – like there's something where you can like check. Because I've always laughed when people catch the blocks. But you can. If it starts to fall, you can hold it. Only with one hand though. Not yet. So like there's like a rule where it's like you can take your hands off. That's a great thing to know.
Starting point is 00:40:58 It's like a hand check and then you can go back. I was listening to Jeff try to explain it today. But – because there have been times too where I've like used my hand to like move other blocks out of the way and stuff right dan was just holding it up yeah but then somehow maneuvering it it was one of the coolest jenga moves i've ever seen and people and tank screaming the whole time and shit of course right he was having some sort of stroke i think like he at one point he like started actually like wobbling his body was like oh my god skin on stool streams today It was like wobble, wobble, wobble, wobble. And I was like, Oh my God. Skin on stool streams today.
Starting point is 00:41:27 That was a tough look. He was having a wardrobe malfunction. I think it's what happened. Um, but I, I did, I was watching, I was watching people say like wardrobe malfunction for tank is tough.
Starting point is 00:41:38 I mean, that's what it looked like. That is what, that is not what you want to hear on a motherfucking Tuesday. Frank, the tank, Janet Jackson, the greatest wardrobe malfunctions of all time put it up there in the hall of fame he's not washed but the amount of people that were saying that like they were so mad that Dan was holding
Starting point is 00:41:57 that tower up I was like so let me get this straight you guys are mad about grown men playing Jenga I said love I love Bob Fox's tweet. He was like, I fucking hate Barstool. It's a bunch of misogynistic frat bro jocks. And then it was guys like geeking out over a Jenga move. Like, yeah, we fucking did it, bro. Yeah. Unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:42:15 I swear to God, if we didn't say the word bro, I think we would have been fine. It's just like this girl we had Mary Beth Barone on. Or no, it was Cassie David. There was two girls on our show recently. I think Cassie David was like So why are you guys Like called bros And I was like
Starting point is 00:42:27 Honestly I think Just cause we say it We're not There's no bros here There's a couple Yeah a couple maybe Jeske's back there He's kind of a bro
Starting point is 00:42:35 A couple like Jeske are you a bro Kind of the young guys Would be considered like A bro right I would say I'm I'm somewhat bro I think that
Starting point is 00:42:42 The rap thing makes me A little bit like A little different Off that reservation But definitely I have bro roots Like I think the rap thing makes me a little bit off that reservation, but definitely I have bro roots. I think you are maybe in the family tree of bro, but you are an offshoot white rapper. White rapper is a whole different thing.
Starting point is 00:42:54 100%. Kid played lacrosse in fucking college. He's kind of rebranded with the whole rap in his head. But he rebranded. Kevin the bro. That's the thing. It's like if we start calling him Kevin, and he's like a lacrosse boy. I don't know. Jet Ski, the lacrosse boy, still feels bro, but he's a white rapper now.
Starting point is 00:43:10 That's a different thing. The lacrosse thing is probably on brand. But like you look at like Jeff, you look at these guys. They just walk by. There ain't no bros here. Jeff's in. Let's go. What?
Starting point is 00:43:18 Oh, Casey's mad at you? No. You're mad at Casey? It's not about Mandalorian as people would expect. That's just a good TV discussion. I've got to go after Casey. Why? My mentions are filled right now.
Starting point is 00:43:29 Well, you just talked about it. About trivia? Oh, that you're talking about? Yeah, that's what you're talking about. What are you talking about? People are saying I cheated because I was looking at Monday Night Football. My mentions. Let's do trivia, then we'll do Jenga, then we'll do Mandalorian.
Starting point is 00:43:38 Well, our Mandalorian discussion was super. You're in the show for an hour now. No, but I have to get off at 3, so you guys do Mandalorian. I have to go make the graphics with Stephen guys do mandalorian i i but our well i have to go i have to go make the graphics with steven changing what do you got beef about but my mentions were filled with mandalorian stuff and they're so filled now with something else this is how you know when when one thing overtakes the other oh yeah people saying you guys cheated yeah i know we just talked about it i didn't cons and i both said that what would what would be the claim
Starting point is 00:44:00 yeah so i will say apparently i left a number on raheem most's jersey. I didn't know that until Khan told me that today. Spoiler, if you want, don't want to watch, if you haven't seen the Dozen spoiler, I would tune out for a second. But if I did that, I fucked up. But there, I was like, all right, well, that's on me. That's not cheating. Like if I, if I, if I show something that's me. It was a movie poster thing.
Starting point is 00:44:19 But then other people are saying there's other instances too. But nobody can give me an example other than I was looking at my phone for Monday Night Football. That sounds like someone's cheated. I swear to God. No one can give you an example other than i was looking at my phone for monday night football that sounds like someone's cheated i swear to god someone no one can give you an example i haven't no no but that's it you have a bigger problem that though once brandon walker gets a wind of cheating it's it's over it's over but what are the i mean i don't i'm not worried about it what kind of operation are you running you can just come up here and have baseless accusations of cheating and that there is no there is no chat i want to
Starting point is 00:44:43 say that crystal clear there because people are like they're looking at the chat there's no chat we record there's they're not live there's a chat when they air in the mornings but that's people watching it on tape yeah no there's no chat we recorded the last night at like 11 o'clock at night yeah no it's there is no chat so i'll defend you they did not look is there an example of a question that she got the jersey question of cons but cons admitted that he was like i have to look yeah if i left it up there honestly jeff you i i'm telling you right now. If I looked out on my phone, I was looking at Monday Night Football, you will not be able to find anything of me cheating.
Starting point is 00:45:10 It's pretty hard to cheat and not. You would see me doing that. Well, we've seen legitimate cheating. Right. How's it why Dave sat there typing? He was many sips in, I believe, on Memorial Day weekend for that one. People are mad because we won, and they're like, believe, on Memorial Day weekend for that one. People are mad because we won.
Starting point is 00:45:28 And they're like, yeah, Fights is the only one with integrity. It was like, John was just drunk while he was playing. John is the integrity. Only John. And Cons and I both said it. It was like, if you want to give us a punishment for the fact that we were both paying attention to Monday Night Football, take that. So the thought is that they're just on their phones Googling the answer. You would see me on my phone. So I'll go take a look.
Starting point is 00:45:44 But I know. I think it's because these are three dumb people who happen to be getting questions right. Once Brandon catches wind of – I hope he does. I would love another beef with Brandon Walker because there is no way to prove I was cheating because I was not cheating. That sounds like a cheater. I wasn't cheating. When you say there's no way to prove it, that sounds like OJ.
Starting point is 00:46:00 Well, no, because if Brandon Walker's on it, what's he going to do? Come over to my house and sit with me next time? Fine. Come do it. I'm not cheating. What are you going to do as commissioner here to stop any cheating? Hands up. We've had bands like White Sox Dave.
Starting point is 00:46:10 We've let him gradually sit closer to the – we would make him sit all the way back to the wall on his couch like far away. Fine. I will do that. I have – you could – you know what? I will sit live in the office and do it. I don't care. I'm not cheating. I'm not cheating. I'm not cheating.
Starting point is 00:46:25 I have a bigger thing here. So in Jenga, you're allowed to touch the tower? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not a new thing. That seems crazy. So before I pick a block, I could sit there and just move the tower however I want? And then I can put it back on top? Remember, you won a game because Billy Football was being an asshole.
Starting point is 00:46:44 And he started twisting the tower. I thought he did that with his block. You're allowed to just step up with your hand and start touching blocks. I guess so, because, yeah, you kind of do. Yeah, yeah. If you want to twist the tower. And then you can put it on and then stand there and hold it up? I will say this.
Starting point is 00:46:56 I feel like once you put your block down, that should be like, does it stand or not? No, you can keep it from falling over. Good to know. I will say, I will say, it results in things happening bad for you more often than sure sure but but if it's like gonna fall i you know i i said it to casey i always laugh when people catch the blocks like they can do something but as long as it's one hand you technically could do it like if it theoretically it's over to fall and i were to like catch it and just tip it all the way back over that'd be all good you could but if they start dislodging
Starting point is 00:47:23 all over the place of course yeah no you can keep that in mind for Thursday. And then, like, I can hold it. I could let go. I could touch, touch, touch, touch, touch, and then step outside the line. You got one hand. Yeah. Wow. I mean, Billy football, that's kind of the Billy football rule.
Starting point is 00:47:36 Oh, yeah. But again, he started being an asshole, and he lost the game against you because in the middle, what, like, turn, like, 20? Yeah, that was crazy. He twisted the tower and it fell over. That was the easiest thing I've ever, ever – easiest contest I've ever won. As far as the Mandalorian, you're crazy. You're crazy.
Starting point is 00:47:49 We're just not going to agree. No, I told Kevin this. I saw you guys going back and forth on Twitter, and I started to read it. The thread is entirely too long. You guys should have hashed this out on radio because, I mean – If you're a podcast, explain it all. Fine. But your online presence, not once has anyone looked at your online presence and been like,
Starting point is 00:48:09 that's a guy who thinks The Mandalorian is average. No, I don't disagree that it's a fucking blast, and I love it. But I think the way you said it on the pod made it seem like it's like I talk about three shows a lot, and I'll admit that. Watchmen, Succession, and I do not hold Mandalorian in the same vein as those other two. But I don't know. You better not. I never do.
Starting point is 00:48:28 But you have to understand that when every tweet is, holy shit, wow, the Mandalorian's done it again. That's not how it is for me. But, like, okay, and I guess it's just kind of weird that, like, will you ever just speak about it critically or no? I did. The last one was just very – On Twitter or whatever.
Starting point is 00:48:45 Oh, yeah. If it becomes bad, it becomes bad. And I continue to say it. But I guess you won't have a moment where you're like, that was the same thing as the last 10 weeks.
Starting point is 00:48:53 But I also know that's kind of what the show is going for, which is kind of my whole point when I talk about it. Like, I want to make it clear. You, like, not loving it, I have no issue with it.
Starting point is 00:49:01 Yeah. Like, I get that. But I will watch it every week. It's a serial adventure show based off of, like, Flash. Like, it's going to be the same thing kind of every week. It's a serial adventure show based off of Flash. It's going to be the same thing kind of every week. Hasn't Bob said that he thinks The Man in the Loring is his favorite Star Wars series ever?
Starting point is 00:49:12 Something like that? It's some of his favorite... It's some of his favorite... We have children watching Jango. We have to clean that up next time. I don't think Bob has said that. I don't. I feel like he's put it in very high regard.
Starting point is 00:49:25 He's been more critical than me. Good. He had two last years. How many episodes more in a row of literally the same exact thing will it take for you to be like, okay, it was fun and now it's like. This is what it was proposed. This is what I expected. That's what I like. I get no problem.
Starting point is 00:49:38 If they try, which this is my concern about it. There's a very clear path where I started because, because I'm very obsessed with Star Wars, but it's become a point where like, see you, Frank. It's become a point like, I really didn't like the last movie. I soured on it more and more. If this show tries to become a Game of Thrones-y epic thing,
Starting point is 00:49:57 it's going to lose its way and it's not going to be good. Because it can't toe the line of being a corny, schmaltzy, schlocky thing that people like, but also be this big drama thing. It'll be a disaster. No, I get that. But I guess it's just the only— Without listening to you guys, the only thing— You lost me on the merch one.
Starting point is 00:50:17 No, because that's another thing. Who makes merch for a show that they think is completely average? Nobody. You love the show. You think it's a great show. But it's— No, no. I sold a Landry beckham 2020 shirt i will say this i don't have not seen one episode of the mandalorian and i love baby yoda just from the
Starting point is 00:50:33 internet so like selling merch yeah i don't i don't give a fuck about the show we're terrible at merch but i don't give a shit about i feel like if like you watch plenty of mediocre tv shows that you're not like let me let me fire up the merch record. No, I just felt I had to, because, like, I loved the last episode, and I had that. Oh, shit, what a great episode. Like, I thought that was awesome. It was awesome Star Wars. But, like, week in, week out, I had to kind of defend my point.
Starting point is 00:50:57 Yeah, I mean, I am extremely bored by it at this point where it's just like. No, and like. But I said that to the podcast too Dave Portnoy proclaiming Frog Lady, the level of Baby Yoda is fucking insanity. Frog Lady sucks! Frog Lady He stormed it. I'll let you and Dave go after it
Starting point is 00:51:15 Oh my god, I hate, I wanted her I wanted her to get fucking decapitated I wanted her dead. The picture that he tweeted, again, I haven't watched it. She looks so corny and goofy. So that's your point on that one, like, it's supposed to look like Yeah, I get that. The picture that he tweeted, again, I haven't watched it. She looks so corny and goofy. She's annoying. Did you point on that one, like, it's supposed to look like that? Yeah, I get that. Again, my thing, like, I totally get if you don't like it,
Starting point is 00:51:30 but the thing that I've said lately is, like, if you're, like, angry, like, people are like, what is this? Like, if you don't know what the show is at this point, and if you don't like it, I get that. But, like, it's clear what the show is. But inherently what you're saying, though, is that's kind of a lesser than TV show. I like that. It's supposed to be a fun adventure, and it's never going to be up to's kind of a lesser than TV show. I like that. It's supposed to be
Starting point is 00:51:45 a fun adventure and it's never going to be up to the level of Watchmen or Succession League. That's fine. That's why if it's someone I couldn't
Starting point is 00:51:52 agree on things with it would never have to go ahead. Start that investigation. Now we got to focus on cheating. Our number two. We're talking
Starting point is 00:51:58 to Theo Epstein after the break. Come on back. CCK with KFC.
