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. Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back. Welcome back. Yeah, man, how you doing? You good? I know you like that. I know you like that.

How long you been back, man? This fucking place. This fucking place is a disaster today. Shout out to the Barstool Breakfast gang who set the tone. Everybody is fucked up, blacked out, hungover. People are sending nudes around. People are seeing dicks. People are puking. It's crazy right now.

What a day. This place is trashed. Kevin, it was a disaster. I mean, what time, you rolled in probably around the same time I did. You opened, the elevator opened

and you got drunk just from the air and it was like 9.45 in the morning. I mean, they had been going since like 7. Willie chugging vodka then he bounced out of here and he went and he was

black Santa for a bunch of Dominican kids in the Bronx. I don't know how in the world he's going to be allowed to be around children. Because he's a horse. Like, I don't even think he was phased.

No, I think I listened to that show this morning because I was so interested in it. It was a shit show. And the best way, I mean, it was hilarious. But there was at one point where they were talking about how Willie was chugging the vodka out of the bottle and you could see the bubbles, which means he's like really glug. And I'm like, this is, I mean.

Dangerous. I was behind the glass for that. He chugged half the bottle. could see the bubbles, which means he's like really glug, and I'm like, this is I mean, dangerous. Apparently he like I was behind the glass for that. He chugged half the bottle. I think it was a 750 750 ml bottle. He got like half of it. Was he like stumbling out of here or is he just fine? I feel like Willie's like a tank. He just doesn't get drunk. It's crazy. I thought he was drunk. He's 360 pounds.

Didn't he clear out the studio this morning, Zah? Oh yeah. Oh, he farted. So he farted, and everyone just ran out. Pat threw up? He was the only one. Pat and Jet Ski puked. Yeah, actually, yeah, Pat.

Jordan just texted me that Jet Ski put her in an Uber and said, have a nice night. What? It's noon. Yeah, no, Pat walked in there, and he literally threw up in his own mouth. And then afterwards, they bring all the wine out to the bar and they just start handing everybody that comes into work like a glass of wine. And they've got their music on just super loud, like old school, early, like 90s, 2000s.

I sung Brian McKnight back at one with Cons Enlarged. We did a little. That was this morning? Yeah. It was. I mean, you would have thought it was a party in here at midnight. No, I'm saying, like, you would have thought it was, like, a Friday night party, and it was before work.

And then eventually they started realizing, like, oh, shit, people are actually trying to vlog. It's raining out today in New York, and so Pat goes, I said something like, I'm hungry for lunch, but it's only 1045. He was like, it's only 1045? It's so dark out. It's like, yeah, Pat, you started work at 7. You're blacked out by 10.

What goes on? Pat was showing, like, pictures that he shouldn't be. I mean, it was just, it was a day. Francis is running around literally in underwear. Yep, yep. In underwear. I mean, if I was him, I'd do it too. They put down 10 bottles of wine.

And then opened more. 10 bottles of wine and half a bottle of vodka. And it's a huge bottle. Double vodka. Dom popped up here doing shots. I need to see a report of the distribution though, because I feel like Willie could probably put down six bottles himself and be good. They did like a

wine tasting, and then whatever was left of these half-drank bottles, they just started putting down. I mean, Large was drunk too. I mean, Large and Willie, I would put Large and Willie as a two-man drinking tandem against anybody on the planet the planet i'm talking go get me some like russian people who have nothing to live for who like have vodka in

their veins you give me a football player from the bronx who clearly also just has a penchant for drinking because it's not just size you gotta know how to drink too 360 pounds and knows how to drink and you take me a guy who's been on Wall Street for like 25 years and has done nothing but entertain and eat and drink I'll put him up against anyone on the planet. Yeah, no, it's an impressive feat. What's that movie? Beer League? Beer Olympics? Beer Fest?

Go do that. And they will come home with the hardware. They are freaks of nature. It's Ellie who obviously she's not been here for very long but she's still trying to figure this place out. She was like what the fuck is going on freaks of nature. It's Ellie who, obviously she's not been here for very long, but she's still trying to figure this place out. She was like, what the fuck is going on? Poor little creature. I mean, I have this picture of her that I took

of her with the group of us, and look at her face. Look at her face. Is she mortified? She's mortified. That looks like a girl who's looking up at her dad like, oh, dad's drunk again. She's sandwiched in between a shirtless Francis, gay Pat. I'm on the other side.

And she's looking at Lars like, what? This looks like a thumbnail for Brazzers. If we had HR, that picture would be a problem. Yeah, she's scared. Deadspin would be salivating for that picture. Ellie wrote a blog this morning that Deadspin's going to twist around. Oh, absolutely. No doubt.

There's no doubt. Ellie can also have a shot and be blackout drunk. She is a miniature person. Yeah. Yeah. And she's the lightweight, too. Well, we were at the Christmas party. She was, like, bellied up to the bar with me, and she was like, should I get a drink?

And I was like, yeah. Like, why would you not? And she was like, uh, because I can only have a couple of them. That's true. I was like, shit. I never thought about having to be, like, really plan out your drinking. Like, I know when to stop, but it's like, if I go to the bar, of them. That's true. I was like, shit. I've never thought about having to be like, really plan out your drinking. Like, I know when to stop, but it's like, if I go to the bar, I'm going to get one. Yeah.

And then there's also just like. She has to be like, well, I have one at like nine, and one at 9.45, and one at 11, and you know. That's it. That's crazy. But she's like, there's people that can build up a tolerance to it. She can't build up a tolerance to it. I bet you.

It is what it is. I bet you pound for pound, she actually has a good tolerance. It's just that she's so tiny. Right. Like, I think she can't build up a tolerance to it. It just is what it is. I bet you pound for pound she actually has a good tolerance. It's just that she's so tiny. Right. Like, I think she can drink for her size. No, I don't. I think she's self-admittedly a lightweight. She also told me that she'll chug Burnett's. That sounds like a

suicide attempt. Yeah, that doesn't sound... I mean, because when Large came over, these tiny little plastic wine glasses that Large was passing out. These are perfect size for Ellie. They're perfect. And he handed her one, and she, like, set it down. Like, she was sitting next to me at my desk, and she sat down. She was like, if I have this, I'll be drunk.

And I was like, don't, just don't drink it. Just, like, move it over. They won't even notice. Like, they're having their own party, like, dancing to Ginny Wine. All these people are so lucky Dave's not here. Dave wouldn't. The thing about Dave is he doesn't drink. So he doesn't, like, sympathize with any of this.

I come in, I'm like, I really don't want to be drunk right now. But I have certainly been this guy before. Certainly will be this guy again. Probably not here. But when you want to get loose and other people are not, it's a thing. Dave does not sympathize with that. Yeah, he's not big into that. But there's been all this talk about them drinking a shit ton of alcohol this morning.

What did they say on the air? Aren't they a two-hour show? They were three hours today, too. Three hours? Yeah, they didn't have the cousins today. They had Pernell from behind the glass at Sirius came by. They had their sommelier or whatever sit down with them. So, I think, I mean, Francis was singing a song.

I mean, it was a show. It was a production. I listened to the last hour, and and it was I mean, they weren't talking about anything. There's laughing, telling stories, but they were talking about how drunk they were. And then like every once in a while you'd hear like a hiccup or a burp. It was just like, this is incredible. And then they brought in Big Ev and like they're having Big Ev taste the wine and large was like, that's a two hundred dollar bottle of wine. You better like that. Big Ev was like, OK, I'll go outside and drink it.

Like just it was that's all they were. They wine. You better like that. And Big Ed was like, okay, I'll go outside and drink it then. Like, just, it was, that's all they were, they were commentating on their drinking, basically. And then Spider came through right now as the fucking hero, and he ordered what would be considered

way too much food if the entire office was here, and there's like one third of the office. There is so much Chick-fil-A here right now. Roughly $10,000. It's insane.

He just kept pulling out bags of food. Not enough. I guarantee it's all going to be gone by the end of the day. There's no doubt. By the way, I came in and Mikey, our lovely producer, came up and was like, Mikey's blacked out too. Yeah, he was like, you know, we should. I'm not blacked out.

That's what a blacked out guy would say. Mikey. I'm not blacked out. He said that we were going to do a Christmas power hour here on CCK to keep it going. And then like 15 minutes ago, he was like, do I need to get anything for the show? I was like, yeah, the beer. And he goes, what are you talking about? I was like, it was your idea to do a power hour.

Yeah, I changed my fucking mind. I also said to him, so you're going to play music as we do the show? And he was like, yeah. And I was like, but we also have the show? And he was like, yeah. And I was like, but we also have to talk. And he was like, no, not really. No, people can just

listen to us drink. Just music and us like slurping. All right, I guess I'll just go home then. I would love to do that though. Like an actual power hour on the air.

Well, we could do it at two. We could do it at two. I mean, well, no, because we have to leave. You could do a power half hour. Could do a power half hour. the air. We could do it at 2. We could do it at 2. Well, no, because we have to leave. We could do a power half hour. We should. I'm washed up enough that I would agree to a power half hour. Yeah, let's get Spider on some beer. Spider, give me some Bud Light!

Let's do it. And you can play Christmas music and get in the festivities. Jam that Christmas up your ass. Yeah, exactly. We're going to get fucking, we're just going to be stumbling around the fucking train station. Trust me, there is nothing worse than what happened this morning.

We could be the drunkest people on planet Earth and we are not going to be as drunk as Pat was this morning. Well, is Pat going back to Boston? Probably. Right? I don't know. Pat wasn't making any sense. That travel day is going to stink. Pat was looking right through me. I mean, Pat had no idea what was going on.

I did say, though, like I said, I listened to the show this morning. It's probably the most Christmas spirit I've had all season. Like, just listening to them get drunk and how happy they were. I mean, that's the holidays, man. Drunk. And Francis playing Christmas songs in a stripper Santa outfit. Like, I mean, Merry fucking Christmas. He was pretty loaded too.

All around, the breakfast gang had a good... He's walking around without his shoes on. Like, he changed back into his normal clothes. His hair was wet.

I don't know where his hair got wet. I think you took like a sink shower. I mean, if anyone, if any show on this station deserves to like let it rip right before the holidays,

it's that show because I can't even... Oh, imagine. You gotta fucking go to bed early. You gotta wake up early. It sucks. They were like kicking it around with me since I can't even. Those guys up every fucking morning. You got to fucking go to bed early. You got to wake up early. It sucks. They were like kicking it around with me since I am up early.

I was like, there is a difference between like rolling out of bed and stuffing a bottle in my kid's mouth. Yeah. And doing a radio show. I mean, this show. To be on at seven, you got to be here at like six means you got to be up at like five. I mean. At least.

Yeah. I mean, our show is one to three p.m., and I struggle to get in here sometimes. And again, like, Large will be out all night. Willie will be out all night, and then they come in. Yeah, I can't. I mean, I was in Springfield last night at the MGM. If I had to be up at, like, 4 or some shit to get here? Pass.

What time did you have to get up? We left last night. So we were, like, we were were pretty drunk and it was like we could either go to sleep, wake up early and go or we can just get a car home right now. The MGM last night in Springfield was the rooms were fucking unbelievable. I was like, I could live here. I'm telling you, man.

Wait, you whipped their ass in bowling, right? Smoked them. But it was big balls. It was bowling. It was big balls. What does that mean? That's bowling. Candlepin is bowling. Candlepin is the real bowling. I mean big balls. What does that mean? That's bowling. Candlepin is... Candlepin. Bowling is bowling. No, candlepin is the real bowling. I mean, that's just not correct. And you couldn't hang doing candlepin.

I know you could. I've never done it. You couldn't hang. Why not? Because. Why? You don't have the mental capacity to play candlepin bowling. Why not?

Because it is the most frustrating game on the face of the earth. You can throw the ball right down the fucking middle and get two pins. More so than regular bowling. Why not? Because it is the most frustrating game on the face of the earth. You can throw the ball right down the fucking middle and get two pins. More so than regular bowling. Oh yeah, because the ball is like this big. Right, but the pins are probably different, no? The pins are like water bottles. Like sticks, right? Yeah, so I mean they kind of all be relative, no? Yep.

Trust me, Kevin. You would have a brain aneurysm. Are you sure you don't stink at it? I was in a fucking league, dog. Fucking champion. Okay. Okay. All right. I mean, and that's like a...

It's like a Boston, right? Yeah. No, because I've never even seen it. Jeske is literally wandering around. So fucked up. I've never even seen Calipers. Hey, Jeske. What's up, dog?

He kept yelling at me, blue face. Did you hear blue face? Did you hear Frankie yell at him? He said, enough! He's trying to tell everybody in the world that the next big rapper is a guy who's named Blueface. And he just literally was screaming the words Blueface. Over and over and over. And Frankie was editing.

He had his headphones on. He was at a computer editing. And he just looked up and said, that's enough! That's enough! He goes, enough of that! Enough of that! And then I walked over there and Frankie was like, that was something that was in my head that just came out of my mouth. It was blurted out.

Sometimes Frankie does that. The best ever was on Barstool Radio, the original Barstool Radio. He was behind the glass, and Liz said something like, I was going to give a take, but I'm not going to. And Frankie didn't know his mic was on. He was like, oh, no, what are we going to do? And his mic was on, and I'm not gonna. And Frankie didn't know his mic was on. He was like, oh no, what are we gonna do? And his mic was on and it was the best.

He just blurts things out sometimes that are amazing. Just the fact that Chetsky just walked in here in the middle of a store just to look at us and just walk in like, it's a shit show. Nobody home. He's just wandering around like a zombie. Wait, anyway, is there a candle pin?

Is there someplace here or no? It's literally, you have to go to Boston. It's so just Boston. Because, by the way, it sounds a lot better than bowling big balls. It's way better. Yeah, no, it's way better. Was someone like, let's just make this smaller and easier so it's not ridiculous? We're not throwing 15-pound balls around?

I don't know. Is that the reasoning? I don't know which one came first, if it was big balls or candle pins. Let me just tell you this much. We stepped up to the bowling lanes, and I thought I was bowling with my girlfriend. Yeah, no, I saw the score. It was big balls or candle. Let me just tell you this much. We stepped up to the bowling lanes and I thought I was bowling with my girlfriend. Yeah, no,

I saw the score. And I mean, I guess I kind of was cause it was Feidelberg, but like, you know, Feidelberg is a capable dude. We were a top golf. He can swing the golf club.

He played college baseball, I think, or high school. I mean, not only could he was not good, it was literally like watching a girl like his, like he was too heavy for him. I'm like, you're so much stronger than me. How come you, he was like, good, it was literally like watching a girl like he was too heavy for him. I'm like, you're so much stronger than me.

How come he was like his arm was dead? It's an art, Kevin. I guess so. It's an art. And then I had Logan who was trying to do it like an art. He was trying to spin it. And he just threw it directly in the gutter every single time. Me and John were laughing at him.

And like halfway through the round, I was like, Logan, you don't know how to do that yeah so stop trying yeah like i don't know how to do that it looks cool i want to do it i wish i could do the spin and it comes in and i was like i don't know how to do that so i just fucking roll it down the middle it is borderline impossible to get below 100 in big ball bowling somebody somebody said unless you are under the age of five yeah or you have like a disability yeah unless you're missing the age of five or you have a disability, mental or otherwise. Unless you're missing a fucking arm. John had three double zeros.

And one, and somebody made this argument, it might be harder. Because two gutter balls is bad, but gutter balls happen. He had one frame where he got a one and a three. That's harder. That's borderline impossible. Yes, it is. It's harder. To get any pins at all all to only get four pins and hit on both. It's all right.

RIP four pins. I was stunned. Stunned. Yeah, because we need to go candle pin bowling. I'll take you in Boston. It was funny, too. So we go hit some golf balls and I've never played golf in my life, but I can still like kind of swing a golf club. We put my my swing on Twitter and people were like making fun of it. It was funny, too. So we go hit some golf balls. And I've never played golf in my life. But I can still, like, kind of swing a golf club. We put my swing on Twitter.

And people were, like, making fun of it. It wasn't that bad. Yeah, it's really not that bad. And then in bowling, I was winning. And so we were filming, like, a year-end wrap-up thing. And I was like, Logan, like, yeah, look at this fucking video. And he goes to me. And it was the truest thing that anybody has ever said to me at Barstool.

He was like, I can't use any of this stuff. And I was like, what do you mean? I was like, I'm stroking the ball. I'm crushing you guys in bowling. He goes, Kevin, nobody wants to see you succeed. And I was like, and it was so true and rude and defeating. He was like, nobody comes to Barstool to see you succeed. That's tough.

God damn it, you're right. You know what? That's also. God damn it. It hasn't gone out yet, but Jared's New Year's resolution for you and it, you're right. You know what? That's also... God damn it. It hasn't gone out yet, but Jared's New Year's resolution for you and me too was pretty tough too. Yeah, well, that's...

It's just an honest friend-to-friend thing. Yeah, you'll see that in the CCK vlog. Bad. That was a tough moment for Kevin and me. Yeah. Mostly Kevin. But it comes from the heart. Mikey wants one too?

You want a New Year's resolution? Catch these New Year's resis. Rockets handing them out. Yeah. I'll think of one for you, Mikey. Did you see Pete tweet out earlier the reason the internet's going so fast? He was like, oh, nobody's working. I know nobody's working because our internet speed is so fast.

I was like, Pete, what a fucking snitch. Yeah, for real. Pete said that my golf swing looked so bad that he couldn't tell if I was righty or lefty, which I now know is just straight pure hate because everybody else was like, ah, not that bad. Pete said that my golf swing looked so bad that he couldn't tell if I was righty or lefty, which I now know is just straight pure hate because everybody else was like, ah, not that bad. Scott, what do you got on my golf swing? You dick.

I'm sure this is not going to be good. No, no. On the contrary, Kevin, your swing has me fired up, buddy. You start out. I've been watching it on loop. I'm not even kidding. You start out. Your grip is pretty good.

You've got a nice balance, great not like a dave humpback uh and then your takeaway is a little shallow at first you kind of look like a like a toddler swinging a t-ball bat but then on your down swing you stabilize your head have a nice weight transfer and have a little bit of a of a lag and you just really whip that club through you have a little bit of an Arnold Palmer finish. I'm going to go on... Oh, damn! Damn! Yo, first of all, Deke, let's put that out there, that this guy, Scott, who's clearly some sort of

golf professional. Yes, right? Of course. I would imagine so. Let's say Scott called in and said that KFC has a golf swing like Arnold fucking Palmer, please. Nice high finish, nice stacked left side. I'm going to die tonight! I mean, for the record, I fucking stroked that ball.

That video, you don't see where it went, but it was dead on, fucking right down the middle. People, I can't keep that front arm straight, Scott. My left arm keeping locked is just, it's impossible. That's too weird for me. Yeah. I say build on it, and you're going to overtake the foreplay boys anytime soon. I don't know about that, but people

are still just forever and always stunned when I do anything. I get it. Trust me, I do get it, and I know how badly I've fallen off, but the reality of the matter is I grew up my entire life swinging, throwing, playing, running, jumping. So somewhere deep down, there is something there. I will say I am so sore from bowling.

Yeah, no, I did that. When we did the Wiffle Ball Home Run Derby, the next day, my entire torso felt like I was giving birth to my rib cage. Yeah. Well, the thing was, too, we were playing, but we were also filming this video. And the way we filmed the bowling section was Feidelberg was doing the talking, and I was bowling in the background. And we had to do several takes. So I just bowled probably like 30 straight shots.

Even though it was my turn, his turn. And so by the end of it, I was sweating. And I am all sorts of sore, man. That's when you know you're fucking washed. I mean, yeah, I feel like that's okay, though. It's like when you, we talked about this when you play Wii. Like, you wake up, like, the first time you play Wii, like, you have these muscles that are sore you didn't know you had.

Yeah, you don't use any of those. Even if you just, like, still go to the gym, you, like, run and you lift and all that shit, but you're not twisting and turning and, like, fast twitch and all that shit. That's true. I like to try to be happy for other people. I like to try to... I don't know where this is going.

During the holiday season, I like to have the holiday spirit. I like to, you know... Wait, before you move on. You know, if you put them together, you get a darn old Palmer. There you go. You see how Hank's doing Game of Thrones?

Hank started at season three because he could not get through seasons one and two and now has caught up and is now going back to one and two. Which is crazy, but I will say

That doesn't make any sense. Do you watch Game of Thrones? No. I've never seen a single episode of Game of Thrones. Me neither. Should I try? I don't know if it's for me.

Here's the thing about Hank. He's not wrong. Season one particularly, I would go as far as to say it's like bad and the only reason i really pushed through it is because at that point i was like writing about tv and covering tv and i'm very happy i did because now i think it's one of the best shows ever but the first season they just throw so many names at you and you're getting

so into the nerd mode like by now i know what like valerian steel is back then i don't fucking know what you guys are talking about and all the book book nerds loved it. And I was like, this is dumb. And when people are like, oh, you got to get through season one. Like, well, that's 10 hours of TV. It's not like, oh, the beginning of the movie is slow. It's like, I have to watch a whole season of slow TV. But that shit is fire.

Yeah, but how do you, like, any TV show, I mean, other than, like, sitcoms, like Friends or whatever, you can't just jump in in the middle. You don't know the backstory. Yeah, and especially this. I don't know how Hank did it, because it's very, very complicated.

Game of Thrones is a show that you can watch on the surface and it's just like, dragons are going to light people on fire and people's heads are going to get chopped off and you're going to watch people fuck. Cool. But to really get it, you know, that's why it's good though, is you can kind of watch it on the surface if you wanted to. It's not for you. It's not wanted to. It's not for you. It's not for me.

It's not for you. But I also think it's good enough. Like, do you like, would you watch, like, Gladiator? Yeah. Braveheart? Yeah. Kings and Queens type of shit? Isn't that the show, isn't that a sitcom?

Like, I mean, like like Kings and queens And royalty Empires And that kind of shit Yeah Cause like at the end of the day Game of Thrones is really like Almost like a politics show It's like people vying for power

Yeah And backstabbing and shit I feel like I could get into it It's just like I hate being behind Like what are they on Season 5 is coming up No it's like 7

Jesus Christ This is the last season I'm never gonna do that It's tough You're definitely late They are gonna like Do a couple spin offs though They're gonna keep milking This fucking Game of Thrones When I finally I'm never going to do that. It's tough. You're definitely late. They are going to do a couple spin-offs, though. They're going to keep milking this fucking Game of Thrones cow. When I finally get back to Boston and my life is normal again,

maybe I'll probably... It's like, what is this? King of Queens. Right? Yeah. Shout out to, what's his name? Kevin James. Gary!

Wait, what's the girl's name in the show? Do you watch that fantasy shit? Leah Remini? Wasn't she big into Scientology? She went into Scientology and got out and is the one who's outing them. And they're going to kill her because of it. Oh, nice. She did the Going Clear, I think it's called.

Yeah. The documentary. She was exposing them for the murderers and shit that they are. Yeah. Which is props to you. That's snitching against the mob you know i mean like they're coming for you she's doing a press tour that's wild that's her just being like come get some well now she's yeah she's hiding in plain sight but also i feel like it's not like working

like no i remember being like yeah take them down those fucking weirdos and now i'm like i don't really care nobody oh my god you have you seen uh sasha baron cohen's new show go uh i haven't seen it yet who is america i think it's called i don't even know who that is God. Have you seen, uh, Sasha Baron Cohen's new show? Go, uh, I haven't seen it yet, but it was America. I think it's called, I don't even know who that is. Yes, you do. Borat Borat.

Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So he's back, uh, last season, his show debuted on showtime and it's the same type of shit.

He's kind of going undercover and like pranking people. And I mean, he, but he's, he is the absolute best at that. Like I usually don't like like prank stuff, but he goes in so deep. I mean,

he sat with OJ and pretended to be like a, um, Italian, like billionaire named Gio. And he's like his, his, the, the, like like prank stuff but he goes in so deep i mean he sat with oj and pretended to be like a um italian like billionaire named geo and he's like his the the character's like girlfriend is with him and he's like oh yeah how do i get rid of this one laughing at him and like oj's like i don't know why you're asking me that yeah he murdered and uh so apparently I'm looking at this article here. He may have undercovered a Las Vegas pedophile ring. Oh, shit. So he did this geo character, the same one, which is like this is like Italian, like playboy. He looks like a bootleg, like most interesting man.

He was in Vegas and he went to like a concierge and he explains, he said, we wanted to investigate how someone like Harvey Weinstein gets away with what he does. So he went to the concierge and he told them that he had molested an eight year old boy and the bellhop or whatever was like, I know how to take care of that for you. Oh my God. And he's like, I can call a lawyer that'll help silence the boy. And then at the end, Barryrett Cohen, as this fucking character, was like, can I get a date?

Or the guy says, do you want a date? And he says, what do you mean, a date? And the guy says, you know, like a young man. And he says, how old do you want? And Sacha Baron Cohen says, lower than bar mitzvah, but older than eight. And the guy says, yeah, I can put you in touch with somebody who can get you some boys like that.

What? So they just took all the footage and went right to the FBI. It never aired. Damn. Jesus Christ. He may have...

Borat, I'm covering shit. So this dude, this dude who is crazy said it was too dark and extreme to be included in the show, which is actually good to hear because that guy's entire life

is built on this shit. You'd think that he would be like, this is going to be my biggest episode ever. Yeah. For him to just be like, no, no, no. I'm an actual human. This is a fucked up thing. That's like the guys who did the jinx when they got

Robert Durst to confess. It ended up airing, but they had to go to the police first and all that other shit, because it's like, uh, this guy's a murderer. Yeah, he definitely did it. That's creepy. I hope those people are fucking getting arrested right now. I hope those people are fucking murder getting arrested,

arrested right now in this. I hope they get murdered in the streets. That's insane. That's disgusting. I hate people so much. All right. This is supposed to be like Christmas episode. We're talking about pedophiles in Vegas.

It just popped up. We're going to hit a break. The rockets are out of here. They're going home to Boston. Uh, and you're riding with me and, uh, blackout Mikey Fowler for a little while.

What the fuck? We'll be back after the break. We'll be snow, but have a cup of cheer. Have a jolly Christmas. Army with harmony. I'm feeling the Naughty by Nature throwbacks, boys. A little OPP to get you in the holiday spirit. Nothing wrong with that. Who knows that better than me, eh?

I got Mikey behind the glass. I got Zah, who's apparently covered in glitter. Zah, what do you like at a strip club, brother? I don't know if I want to say this on radio, man. I don't know if I want to say this on radio. I feel like I want to keep this to myself. I can see you being like, saying a kid in a candy store does not even begin to do it justice. Yo, let me tell you a funny story.

So my first time here when I moved for college, my mom, so I had the meal plan and everything like that. So there was no ways I was going to starve. I had a roof over my head. So I didn't need that much money. So my mom left me with about 400 bucks worth of pocket money, which should have lasted me the whole semester. Because, I mean, I had every expense covered except for going out and all that type of stuff. And, you know, eventually I was going to get a job. One girl.

The second weekend. One day. Second weekend. My first strip club experience ever in my life. Second weekend in Tampa. We've got a world famous strip club named Mons Venus. Oh, wait a minute. I know you were in Tampa.

Oh, yeah. The strip club capital of the world. The rules in Tampa are basically like. Wild. It's like no penetration with two fingers. Yeah. Oh yeah. The strip club capital of the world. The rules in Tampa are basically like wild. It's like no penetration with two fingers. Yeah, pretty much. You can like drink in there and you can touch whatever you want. Oh yeah. So went out that night. One thing led to the

other. I think off the $400 that shit left me for the whole entire semester. I had like a hundred bucks left. I mean. You know that video of the woman that gets up and there's a guy underneath her? Yup. Yeah, it's wild.

It was wild. Zah, have you ever gone to Flash Dancers here in New York? What's up? Have you ever gone to Flash Dancers here in New York? No, I haven't done anything in New York. It's so expensive out here. It is, but Flash Dancers is a magical place. Oh, really? Magical. I heard about... The girls there are unbelievable. I heard about... Willie was talking there are unbelievable. I heard about, Willie was talking about a booty club named Sapphire.

I went to Sapphire. Yeah, Sapphire's good. Sapphire's totally fine. Flash Dancers is... Flash Dancers? Where is it? Manhattan? Yeah, I think it's like

57th and Broadway-ish, I want to say. If you've ever seen the yellow cabs that have the super sexy blonde on top of like the the like triangle. Oh, yeah. That's them. OK. And I mean, maybe this is everybody out there. I don't know. You know, it might just be me and my friends with Flash Dancers. But you have like the club where you had like all your dumb nights where you did the four hundred dollars and you did all the dumb shit like that.

And in your mind, that is the greatest strip club of all time. Nothing can be top. I got nothing to do this break. I'm here all alone, baby. We'll see. Zah, me and you both, brother. When that bonus kick in, KFC, man, we got to do something. People keep asking me.

Yeah, this is, I mean, Flashdance is the place you go when you fall in love. One time I was at Flashdance and there was a girl who had a Zelda tattoo. You guys fuck with Zelda? I had the game. They made a video game, right? So, yeah, the Triforce is like this triangular fucking thing from Zelda, and she had the tat on her leg, and she was not actually that attractive, but I was like, you're my wife you

you're a stripper with a zelda tattoo let's go girl that's the word that's that's that's that's kind of what happened to me that night and then tampa there was one girl it was just this one girl that just man out of the 300 bucks i think she got like 250 there you go good for her and good for you man so i didn't eat the rest of the semester. He ate plenty that night, though, I bet. Oh, let's get to some calls here. I'm flying solo until 3 o'clock to wrap up the year here on Clancy and the Rockets. Mike from Boston, what do you got, bro?

I haven't called since you switched over to the new show, but fuck Mike with the ugly wife. Hey, what's up? Fuck Mike with the ugly wife. Hey, what's up? Fuck Mike with the ugly wife. You have become, you know, you went down in Barstool Radio history. No, no, no. I'm not the guy. I'm the guy who hates the guy. Oh, oh, okay.

Good, good, good, good. I was like, wait. Yeah, no, I don't want to be that guy. You want the balls to call in again? Yeah, no, you're right. For those who don't know because you're listening to the new show, there was a guy who called in, told a story about chirping Brad Marchand at a hockey game, and the guy just turned and said, like, your wife's ugly or some shit. It was great.

Fuck Mike with the ugly wife, for sure. What do you got for me, Mike? I just wanted to ask, you know, what your favorite moment of 2018. I feel like 2018 was a big year for the company as a whole, you know, changing times for you, but I was just curious what your favorite moment is from the year, whether it was you or somebody else at the company. I was just wondering what yours was. Well, it's for sure not me, my man. If I, 2018 cannot come to a quick enough close.

It's tough for me to even think about some of the good moments. 2018 was brutal. This job is hard enough as it is when things are going good. And when you got people to support you and what you're putting out there, people like when the tides turn against you and things are rough at home, it is a bear to put up with here. To come in and try to be funny, try to be on, deal with the drama, deal with the chirps, all that kind of shit.

2018 cannot go away quick enough. Shout out to all my people who are divorced or getting divorced because that shit is a 1000% the worst thing that can possibly happen to you. It is unbearable, whether I don't care what the circumstances are, whether it's a situation like me where you cheated, or things just go awry, whatever it may be. It is the most impossible thing to possibly go through. Especially if you got kids in the mix it has been a fucking mess so for me i mean we watched that year-end video and i mean there's a lot of good ones i don't know best moment of barstool 2018 i'm probably gonna say pop punk i liked pop punk a lot that was really good that was you know what that that probably that's a good pick just because it's something new because everything we've done and

it brought us all together everybody was yeah that's very true because everything else we've done we've done super bowls before we've done you know we've all had uh times where we've rallied around a hit piece we've all been on tv here or there and shit like that uh but pop punk all the sudden it was like i love when Barstool flexes and shows that they can do pretty much anything so like to me I got a kick out of the fact that all of a sudden we're selling out

theaters where you know actual bands would love to be playing and all of a sudden we have like oh we have four musical four musicians all of a sudden that kind of shit to me is where Barstool separates itself. Where, I mean, could you imagine four people from Bleacher Report hopping on stage and rocking out Irving Plaza?

Could you imagine, you know, you round up a couple of Deadspin employees and all of a sudden you have a lead singer, a drummer, a bassist, and a lead guitarist? That ain't happening. And to me, I feel like, I mean, I basically want to be Rowan when I grow up. So watching anytime he's on stage doing his thing, all of a sudden you realize that PFT is like a master guitarist. Watching Frankie Borelli behind the drums, watching his family watch Frankie Borelli behind the drums. Mr. Borelli was crying, hugging his wife.

Like Robbie Fox living out like a childhood dream to be on stage at some of the venues that, you know, his favorite punk bands played at. That was dope. That was that was a unique one for sure. I also like watching the radio station come together because for so long it was only like a handful of us doing things. And then even when we came here, it was still, you know, the same guys on the rundown or the guys on the radio and the same podcast you listen to, or the, the, the same Barstool products. And now all of a sudden you look at like Barstool breakfast, and that is an entirely new crop of people. That's like, I mean, what Francis is probably the most tenured person, right? And he's been here 18 months, whatever it is. So that's like a whole new crew of people that are rocking a full

two sometimes three hour show new people top to bottom hats off to you mikey planning that that whole station out i mean that that was probably not a fun fucking job dude the reward of just watching honestly like a a one microcosm of the whole thing has just been willie's like progression to coming out party yeah Yeah. Just Willie in general. I knew that, man. I was telling you, the minute I heard him take his first test, I looked at you. I was literally talking to you. I'm like, this guy's a fucking star.

When I heard him on Boomer and Carton, just as a guest, probably when he was still playing, maybe right after he stopped playing, because I remember thinking he had either retired or was about to, and I remember saying, Willie Colon will work in broadcast. I have a photo of him signing the wall on the day he came in for a test. Yeah. Or a Canadian tuxedo because he was testing with JSB and he wanted to do impressive. I'll never forget. That's great.

That is very funny. Impressive here is a funny thought. I tweeted at him when he went on Boomer and Carton all these years ago being like, you got to come on KFC Radio with me. And I was a fucking co-worker. And now he's getting guys blacked out in the middle of the office. Chris, what's your favorite moment of Barstool? So, yeah, I'll say that last. So I just wanted to say, if you poured your heart out a little bit,

with you at a bad 2018, Team KFC is always behind you. I will say the first thing that got me into Barstool was watching Conor Gillespie hit that home run in your face, and I've been Team KFC ever since. I mean, I guess, I guess, thank you, I guess. Hey, man, the reason I like you is because I watched your fucking soul die, expire from your body. It's the most relatable thing, though. Ever, like, that's what got me into Barstool, was you just saying, this guy's fucking name.

I hate it. That's what I've been. I mean, and what's crazy is, I'm just going to recap it for people, because I forget how new people are at Barstool all the time. That was 2015, or 16, I guess, was the Mets in the wild card game. And I was doing the first ever Barstool electric chair, which is now like totally commonplace. Maybe it was like the first or second,

but it was the first big time playoff one. And everybody watched me while Connor Gillespie hit the fucking miracle home run. And I called it. I sat there and I was like, this is the kind of fucking guy who does it. This is, you know, it's not going to be the big bats. It's going to be this little motherfucker who looks like a lacrosse player,

and pow, it happened right on cue. So I guess I'm in the lucky position where, at least as a Mets, Jets, Knicks loser fan, at least my misery can translate into professional success, professional big moments. The rest of you guys out there, it just fucking sucks for you. But at least I get guys like Chris who will stick around because of it. So thanks, bro. Yeah, no problem. I was going to say

so my favorite moment for Barstool this year probably not as fun for you guys with what's going on now, but the day that name redacted got fired that will not say his name. I got blocked by him on Twitter because I was chirping him that whole thing. He's the king of trash talk and he blocks

people on Twitter. It's a he's the king of trash talk and he blocks people on Twitter it's a joke yeah that's my king of trash talk who's he's he issues apologies and blocks and lawyers up I mean that unfortunately was probably a black eye for a barstool in a way but that's part of the growing pains that's why guys like Willie guys like Dallas guys who have come in and thrived it's like you know know, when you bring somebody in who's established either from a professional sport or another realm of entertainment, you always run the risk because they got their own brand, they got their own money, they got their own agenda. And some people kind of embrace the stool and other people can't handle it. So, I mean, and to me, that was actually, I mean, I don't know how much, I guess I can people can't handle it. So, I mean, and, and to me, that was, that was actually, I mean, I don't know how much, I guess I can't really talk about it, but that was a tough moment again for me personally, because that was where I realized all of a sudden

that everything that I do, where I'm always kind of like talking shit and busting balls and I hate on this and I hate on that. Let's go to war. I realize now like all that's gone because there's always this like Trump card looming over me because everybody knows my personal business. So that's been the worst part. So that, that probably you're right. That, that moving on from that was, was good for everybody in a lot of ways. Let's go to Joe from Texas. What do you got, Joe? Hey man, this is Joe from Texas. And I just want to say, Kev, this is a shitty year for you, but 2019

I'm hoping it's going to be better. I just got to let you know, you and John on that radio show have just got me through a lot this year. I wait all week for Tuesday and Thursday so I can listen to you idiots. It's my favorite part of the week. It means a lot, man. Thank you, dude. I really appreciate

that. Over the years, we've heard that a lot. You know, you got me through like a rough time or a dark time, and that's always kind of like one of the most gratifying parts of what we do. And then to have like the shoe on the other foot where I'm kind of the one going through it, I was very grateful to have John. You know, when all that shit went down, it not only affected me, but anybody I worked with was potentially like in jeopardy and they had every right to maybe be mad or

whatever. And there was not a single moment where John wasn't like down to ride. So, uh, as much as we might help you get through some shit, he helped me get through some shit. And a lot of people, as much hate as I do get these days, uh, there was a lot of people as much hate as I do get these days uh there was a lot of people who continue to listen continue to like support and uh you know tweet and call and all that stuff so it's a weird barstool is a strange dynamic where it can be like a like a bear to deal with and a burden and fighting with Dave and fighting with listeners and readers and fighting with the rival websites and all that shit can be sometimes it's like, it sounds crazy because I my entire like

goal in life was to get out of the cubes. But there are times where I was like, you know, kind of wish I could just disappear into anonymity again, just be behind a cube desk. I work from nine to five, I don't give a fuck what else happens. Whereas here, you always got to be on and you always got to worry about who's nipping at your heels and you always got to worry about, well, you know, uh, internal competition, external competition. We got to keep growing. We, you know, I got to get my team up, all that kind of shit. Um, so as much as it can be a monster, it's also like, I come in here, man, I get inside these stupid fun house walls. I come into the studio, which is usually either 250 degrees or two degrees. And everything else kind of just disappears for better or worse, because I feel like that's part of the reason why I ended up in here.

Well, I ended up in this situation where sometimes I say too much. I go too far. I tell too personal of stories or I'm a little too honest. And I think in a lot of ways that kind of cost me big time. But at the same time, it is like a dream job for me. And it is, I did want to get out of, of, uh, my cube life. And I, and I knew that kind of wasn't for me. And so I do know that the, like the path for me is to do this. The only way I know how to do it is completely honestly. And so there were a lot of times where you, you know, I let people in fully into my life for better in a lot of ways, professionally, for worse, a lot of ways, personally, a lot of things

that were said or done probably, you know, hurt people or embarrass people or made things difficult. But honestly, I don't know how, I don't know how else to do it. When I come in here and I get behind the mic, I just, I got to tell the truth. I got to make the joke. I got to relate. I'm going to be honest. And I am able to come in here and just like do that. And that is a testament to Dave and Erica

and everybody else here who supports the idea of like just take it and run with it. The thing about Barstool is it's good if you are motivated and you're crazy and you just want to do shit. Fine. A lot of people, if you show up to Barstool and you're like, what am I doing? Like, I don't know.

You tell me, man. The best thing about it has always been Dave will just, here's a microphone, here's a blog and go do your thing. So, you know, my brand turned into, uh, you know, a lot of relatability in relationship stuff. And I think a lot of ways that my own relationship suffered from that. But my professional life kind of, you know, continued to thrive a little bit. So I'm happy and I'm thankful to be able to just come in here, forget whatever else is going on, and just do my thing. Get back out there, be a dad, try to be the best ex-husband I can be,

try to be the best the rest of my family in my life. But when I'm in here, we can let it fly. Mike from Chicago, what's your favorite Barstool moment of the year? Hey, what's going on, guys? What do you got? Oh, yeah, my favorite Barstool moment was probably Michigan, man. Hey, what's going on, guys? What do you got? Oh, yeah, my favorite Barcelona moment was probably Michigan, man. The whole saga with that. Oh, that is a good one.

That is a great one. Yeah, that was just priceless content. It's too bad that he walked away when he did. No, it's not, Mike. I know what you mean, but it is good that he walked away when he did because it would have just been no it's not mike i i know what you mean but it is good that he walked away when he did because it would have got so much worse for him and probably for us too because that guy is capable of absolutely anything man that's another moment i i said with pup punk it's it's cool when barstool does things that are so uniquely barstool that nobody else can do.

And I honestly, truly, and as much as I said Bleacher Report, Deadspin, could they ever do that? I don't know. I'm sure there's some fucking musicians out there. What do I know? I'm sure there's some people who can play some instruments and get together and sing some songs. I guarantee you, I promise you, there will never be another company promoting a talent search reality show that stumbles upon a weird bird like that. I fucking promise you that will never happen. Michigan man rolling through here, trying to get a job in this world,

which is all humor and thick skin and busting balls and quick wit and letting shit roll off your back, and him coming in here and crying his eyes out day after day after day was fucking insane. Being a judge in Barstool Idol is one of my least and one of my most favorite things in the world. I guess that's the little theme of my monologue here is that everything's kind of got two sides to it for better or worse. I hate sitting on that panel and having to send people home because I do see how much it means to people now. And we have grown

so much that it truly is like a dream opportunity. And to be fucking 100 percent honest, if I was starting up now, I don't think there's a shot in hell I qualify or beat any of those people out doing what they do. I got in, I got grandfathered in, I know what I'm doing, but if I had to do what they did, I don't think I could. So I hate to sit there and be like, I don't really think you're funny, you're out of here. Because to be perfectly honest, I know myself, I couldn't do a better job. But I loved being a part of that because I was like, what's wrong with you, dude? Get the fuck out of here. And like everyone was was was felt bad for him and they were nervous for him and all this other shit. And maybe maybe it's because of my mentality

now where I don't have much sympathy for people going through hard things. I know what I did was kind of self-inflicted, but I've also seen the worst of the worst when it comes to pressure and people chirping you and all that shit. To watch Michigan man break down and start crying when things were going good. Zob, when things were going good. That's the crazy part. I mean, he was cruising and he was just crying at like the other people's success. He cornered Erica. He cornered Erica?

He cornered the CEO in the fucking stairway. And I'll tell you what, within the moment, within the moment, when I actually, let me, I hope people understand how it originally went down. We were sitting in the panel ready to do our elimination shit. And YP has his camera out for stool scenes. And he was like, psst, psst, look, look up up look up i'm like looking around i'm like what he's like michigan man look at michigan man and i look over and before we even started michigan man is not only tearing up he's like sobbing it's like pouring down his face and he's like like doing the the breathing and i look at

dave and i just like with wide eyes and I go, oh no. And I, he was like, what? And I was just like, oh no. Cause I don't want to put him on blast, but I also realized he's weeping so much. There's no way that he's not going to notice. So I just did the same thing YP did to me. I'm like, look at Michigan, man. And he was like, all right. He's like, he snapped his fingers. Like, all right, let's go. Let's like, let's run the intro pack. Let's get to the fucking show because we got a guy crying here at that. And then the moment within the moment was the six minute video at the elevator where he was yelling at Dave for sending Allie home,

who was one of the competitors. I think her name was Allie. And Dave was kind of like, what are you talking about? It's a competition. And he just kept going, I don't get it. I don't understand why. I don't understand why. Six straight minutes of this guy basically trying to talk himself out of a job. It was astounding theater. And then, like, his mom, he said, like, his mom was going to be proud of him

or some shit. And, like, I couldn't wrap my head around that guy thinking he was ever going to make it here. Didn't he want her to take, like, a spot or something like that? Yeah, he said something like, if I, you know. If he wins, she comes back. Right, and then what's funny is he ended up dropping out. So it's like, why didn't you actually, I think Dave said,

if you want her back, you got to go. And he said no, and he quit a day later. So he actually ended up fucking that girl over. And I don't mean to be mean, because I don't know what's going on with my man, Dave. But I mean, I remember watching Francis kind of do some judging because he won the last year. And Francis went through the same kind of hell I went through when he first started. And he was kind of like, get the fuck out of here. Are you crying already, man?

So as much as it was like, you know, you don't know what's going on behind closed doors with people. You don't want to make fun of anyone. If you're going to put yourself in the ring here, you're going to open yourself up to a lot of this shit. And you can't be fucking crying day one. Jordan, what do you got on your favorite Barstool moment? Yo, this isn't really a favorite moment. I just wanted to thank you for helping me get through this year. I went through a situation,

which was pretty much the exact mirror situation you went through. Only difference is I'm 25 years old. I wasn't married to my girlfriend, but we had been together for four years, living together, all that. And I got caught up doing some things that I shouldn't. We'll say that. And it was the worst fucking thing in my entire life. And I would think it actually happened not long after it happened to you,

but I would think about how would you do it under a public microscope? Just because everybody knew about that. There was only a certain few which knew about my situation, but how did you deal with that? Yeah, man, that was crazy. I mean, I don't think anybody involved, I don't think anybody period ever thought it was going to have the scope that it had. I mean, you know, in some like the fact that the post and the Daily Mail and made it to people. It's like, yeah, well, dude, I'm not on the cover for, like, Sexiest Man Alive, so I don't know if we should be celebrating that one. When the entire world knows your business and doesn't know the full story and you can't really speak for yourself, and as much as I will absolutely wear everything that I did,

of course, I think there's some things I would like to say or know or do, but you can't do that. When you cross a line that me and my guy Jordan there crossed, you kind of open yourself up to these things. But the internet comes for you, and I thought I had known what that meant. The internet comes for you when you have a hot take that goes wrong or when, you know, the team you've been touting all season loses. Oh no. Like you're on the crosshairs and everyone's in your mentions when everyone's in your mentions about your wife and your kids and your life and this and that it is, uh, it ain't fun. The flip side, as I kind of come out of it,

and I'm basically just 100% focused on kids and work, is I don't think there's a single thing in the world that will ever face me again. I can't imagine. And that's, again, why I didn't have much sympathy for guys like Michigan Man. Or, you know, I see some of like the, the silly drama here, which turns into like real drama. Like I remember looking at that Francis and Ellie situation where

Francis and Ellie, neither of which had any problem with each other or anything content going on. And all of a sudden we're doing like days worth of radio. And I want it to be like, shut the fuck up. I'm trying very hard not to be this guy. I hate people who are like, well, my problems are worse than yours. They're like, hey, there are starving people in Africa. Like, yeah, listen, there's always somebody worse than you. But sometimes I see some of the drama here and I'm like, you guys can't even begin to understand. And again, it's all self-inflicted and I get it. I mean, I again, I I feel like my my phone is probably buzzing right now.

My lawyer is probably get off the fucking air. But when you can't speak up and either explain yourself or at least, again, there's no excuses, but there's things you'd like to talk about and you can't. And when we do what I do, I open this monologue up saying, what I do is tell the fucking truth. And what I do is tell my feelings truth, you know? And like, what I do is tell my feelings and just spit whatever's on my mind. And it's like, and I just got to bite your tongue on certain things and just, you can't respond to any haters and you can't,

you know, you can't fix it. Like every single, every single day. It's like, I, I wish I did a lot of things differently, not even necessarily related to,

uh, to what I did prior to that. Like everything I could have handled a lot of things differently. Not even necessarily related to what I did prior to that. Everything I could have handled a lot differently. And you wish you could just kind of go back in time. And when you can't do that, and you can't fix it, you can't change it, you can't talk about it, you can't defend, you can't respond, none of it.

It is, for a guy who just has a big fucking mouth, it ain't easy. Hacksaw in New York? What's up, Hacksaw? Jim Duggan? What do you got? My name is Max, but that's okay.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. What? Your name is Max? Zah, are you back there doing the calls? No, no, we don't handle the calls here Alright I'll meet you halfway We'll call you Maxaw What's up, Maxaw?

Absolutely love it Best personal moment for me Would probably be when you guys did The first combine I thought that was absolutely hilarious Wait, the first combine? Yeah Like the OG one a combine, I thought that was absolutely hilarious. Wait, the first combine? Yeah. Like the OG one, or you mean like this year when we did a combine?

I mean the one. When Coley couldn't. Yeah, okay, all right, all right. So when, for me, that might be low key my favorite moment. My guy Coley not being able to jump, look up, and hit the vertical jump like sticks because of his vertigo. I hate, you know, I hate to pick on him because it because it's a hey, vertigo is not a joke. Vertigo is not a laughing matter. OK, there's a lot of people out there who are suffering from vertigo of you or anyone you know is suffering from vertigo called the vertigo hotline.

But Coley mixed vertigo was call the vertigo hotline. But Coley Mick's vertigo was one of the most underrated storylines in all of Barstool. He couldn't go to Sirius XM because they're on the 46th floor. He's like, I just can't do it. Him taking a train everywhere. I think I might take a train with him down to Atlanta. I think I might do train life. But all of that kind of makes sense.

Like 46 floors is very high. Airplanes, super high. Jumping like 18 inches off the ground, just looking up, not that high. I don't know how vertigo works, but I don't think that's how it works. I'm not a doctor expert. I'm not a vertigo expert, but I think there's just something else wrong with Coley. I don't know what his deal is, man. Not being able to jump or look upwards is a different animal, man.

So, I mean, a lot of good, a lot of bad, a lot of ups, a lot of downs. Super Bowl seems to always kind of be a big moment for us one way or the other. So I'm happy with another one coming up. We can kind of see what what comes of this next crop. I think a lot of people have been down since the beginning and seen Barstool grow, seen Barstool change, things you don't like, things you do like, people that you don't like, people that you do like, people that you wish were different ways, all sorts of different things. I think that's kind of the best part about Barstool is that we even have people that care that much. Like in some weird roundabout backwards way.

I remember thinking when I was talking about my own issues, if I was talking to someone else who went through what I said, what I went through, I would be like, dude, just lay low. Don't do anything. The news cycle will be done in like 24 hours. You'll be out of here. Like in another week, somebody will do something ridiculous. Somebody else will do what you did and they'll be talking about them and not talking about you. And we are now going, we're coming up on one year where that just has not proven true. It's still going on for me. And as much as that sucks for me personally, I think that's a testament to what Barstool can do professionally. The fact

that people are still, they even care or the fact that they're even bent out of shape or the fact that they're disappointed a year later in a person that they just read blogs from or listen to radio with, I think is the difference. And it's a negative example where people were disappointed and upset and mad and felt like betrayed. I think a lot of the people who were with me since the beginning were not that surprised or not that betrayed. They kind of got it and knew where I was coming from. But the point is any type of those emotions is the only place on the internet where you're going to get that. I don't think anybody else cares personally about the bloggers or the writers or the podcasters, even a fraction of what they do here at Barstool Sports. They know us. They know the families. They are so invested that in this situation, it was a horrible negative. But for the rest of the

company, as we go forward, it's an incredible positive. So shout out to everyone still riding. Shout out to everyone who's joining up and going to ride with us for the future to come. It's been a good year and a bad year. And 2019 will probably be the same. A lot of emotions, probably some good, some bad, and a lot more to come here at Barstool Sports. So shout out to anybody who stuck by my side.

And we'll be back for more in 2019. Stay hot. Shout out to anybody who stuck by my side. And we'll be back for more in 2019. Stay hot.
