Kevin! Kevin! Kevin! Kevin!
Oh.
Kevin!
You're just ridiculously stupid.
Welcome back! Welcome back! Welcome back!
Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! Is this Kevin? Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back. Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Is this Kevin?
Welcome back.
Oh, yeah, man, how you doing?
You good?
I know you like that.
I know you like that.
How long you been back?
Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome.
I see big girls in the club, they getting wild with me.
It's Wednesday?
It is Wednesday, Kevin. It's Wednesday? It is Wednesday.
It's Wednesday.
Okay.
All right.
I can do Wednesday.
The only reason I know that it's Wednesday is because I have to gauge Brandon Walker's mood more so on Wednesdays than any other days because we record Unnecessary Roughness.
And I noticed out there today he was kind of sad.
A little sad boy season going on.
Yeah. out there today, he was kind of sad. A little sad boy season going on. And Dan told me
that the reason he is is because on the yak,
they realized that his face
looks like the state of Mississippi.
Like the actual shape of it.
I have no idea what the state of Mississippi looks like.
I don't either. What the fuck does that mean?
I don't know. I just know that it's...
That's the only reason I know it's Wednesday is because I needed to gauge
how bad our recording was going to go today.
Let me...
I mean, honestly, that works though. It's like... know it's Wednesday is because I needed to gauge how bad our recording was going to go today. And so
I mean, honestly, that works
though. It's like, yeah, it kind of
looks like a head. It looks like those
Easter Island heads, you know, those those statues.
Yes. So that would make sense.
So Dan said that that's why he's in his feelings
today. So I have to be on high alert.
If anything, he is
it's like he's a state, you know what I mean?
It's on brand you are so
mississippi that your fucking head is shaped like the state yeah but i mean that but thanks to that
happening i know for sure that it is wednesday i can't believe it's july 15th i can't talk about
it that's like we've been stuck in such like a time warp where there were times where i was like
oh my god this year is like crawling like when when everyone was like, oh God, 2020 sucks.
And they'd be like, it's only fucking February, you know?
But now it's like shit.
I mean, we're like, we're ripping through summer.
April and May just didn't exist.
But March, I feel like March, we're on March like 75.
Yeah.
I guess June didn't really either, but I do feel like March because March, half of March
was real life.
Are you doing anything in the summer?
Do you have any summer plans?
Well, I went to California before I was not allowed to go to California.
Now you're not allowed to go.
I feel like everyone usually, this weekend I'm going to go to the Hamptons, this weekend
I'll be at the shore, I'm going to go to this beach house.
You are?
No.
Oh, you're saying.
So that's like normally what people do.
I said that before the 4th of July week off that we had,
because whenever we first got the announcement last year that we were going
to have a week off for the 4th of July,
like the best news ever.
Cause we're like,
we get,
I mean just basically 10 days to do whatever we want.
When I was leaving for that week,
I was like this,
uh,
do shit.
This doesn't feel like vacation at all.
None of it.
Our vacation week was like the worst week of my professional career.
I, you know what? i think erica like i remember seeing erica after that and just being like i'm not even gonna ask you how your fourth of july was all terrible i got absolutely fucking
butt fucked by taxes oh you just completely annihilated completely eradicated isn't that
like the whole point of having kids and shit well i can't claim them because they're like not because of the divorce they're not like
they're not yeah they're not like but they're yours they're mine but they since they have
permanent residence with their mom that it's like it can't be uh the tax purposes that feels
like a backwards thing going on i don't know know what happened. Yeah, it's sexist.
That's what it is.
Let's see.
But aren't you getting your taxes taken out of your paycheck?
So this is my problem.
And I'm not alone on this.
I remember the good old days when I was like early 20s.
Tax season was a bonus.
It was like every year you get money back.
And I don't know why.
I don't know why you get money back. And I don't know know why you owe money why don't they just take the right fucking amount you can
choose yeah but i don't know how to and i don't know what i need to do how come it needs to be
something that i need to like go to hr or sit down with payroll and make happen properly why don't
you just fucking do what you're supposed to, IRS?
I agree with that.
I also will tell you that, unfortunately for you,
living where you have your entire life also fucks you.
Because, well, first of all, Texas just doesn't have state tax,
which is great.
But New York also has New York City tax, which extra fucks you.
But that's only if you live there.
And I don't live there, but I work there.
There was a long time where I was getting taxed from Massachusetts as well because of Barstool
early on. I used to get
taxed from Massachusetts but then get
it back at tax time but I was like why don't we
just not do this at all? ESPN
tried to do that where any game
that I did outside of the state of Texas
which obviously was 90%
of them like I maybe did like two games in the
state of Texas the entire time I
worked there.
Like,
well,
you did a game here.
Like,
absolutely not.
Like I,
you,
if you think I'm going to sit down and file taxes in all like 12 states
or 13 states,
like you're crazy.
Oh yes.
The,
the worst part is all the,
uh,
as Brandon Walker flips us off,
I'm sure we got,
uh,
I,
um,
I owe $13,000 to New York.
What?
13 fucking thousand dollars to the city, to the New York. What? $13,000.
To the city?
To the state.
Kevin, you got something fucked up.
He did.
He called me.
He was like, your taxes are a wreck this year.
And I'm like, as opposed to every other goddamn year, Kenny?
Kenny Shmelkin.
Shout out to Kenny.
He's my guy.
I wish people could see my face right now.
It's disgusting.
But he's still like
finishing it and it sounds like i will get money back from federal and hopefully we'll cut into
or hopefully like equal out all my state but thirteen thousand dollars to the state mother
fucking giving you 13k yeah that ain't happening right no it's not i mean this is this when i moved 13 fucking thousand dollars the
year that i had some of it in massachusetts and then some of it in new york i ended up owing a
little bit to the state of new york even like once federal and everything was canceled out
i think massachusetts tried to give me like 150 dollars back i was like thanks a lot thanks a lot
dickhead yeah like great change you filthy animal i'll go use that on my fucking bar tab tonight right and thank you but i remember thinking the city really really screws you over i don't remember
the state being well i think something happened apparently with i they like taxed my bonus at the
wrong rate i think i think what they did was they taxed my bonus as if that were my income and so that's a much lower uh yeah they tax your bonus at almost
like 50 well they should they should and but they were doing your whole income as if my bonus was my
salary then that then that tax percentage would be that's why i hate whatever but i'm just like why
did you do that why can't you guys figure out what the fuck you're doing and just take out i mean this
is like the fifth year in a row now.
Ever since I became an adult, I've always owed money.
And it's always been like my accountant calls me.
He's like, boy, like this year.
And I've always had some weird shit.
Like the equity was a weird thing.
I used to have side money.
That was a weird thing.
So it's always been like a mess.
In a house, too.
That's how weird a house was supposed to help.
It helps.
But then it didn't.
And now it's gone so
whatever that's the only reason that like i will sit and do my actual house like the whatever the
form is i don't i'm who am i kidding my dad totally still helps me with that i'm 31 my dad
still helps me with that because if you do it right it does help your taxes a bunch because
you don't have one anymore oh well buy one buy one after you get
your $13,000 just an absolute goddamn rape of of a tax season for your boys so are there yep
full-blown rape and i i just want again like take out the right amount each check please
and i don't you can you can get that kevin yeah but i have to like do it why do i
have to do it i agree i have to like call the fucking the the tax man and be like take another
couple hundred dollars per check so i don't have to deal with this every fucking april this is one
of those things that i've said since i've graduated college why the fuck was i breaking down shakespeare
every day and not taught how to do my taxes? Don't get me wrong. Breaking down Shakespeare,
there are a lot of cool things about it. Fine. Whatever.
Why was I doing philosophy where I
was using squiggly lines instead
of words, but you couldn't teach
me how to do my own taxes?
Man, all that kind of shit.
Understanding mortgages and
loans. Out of balance.
That's kind of gone by the wayside
now too, though.
But you're right, Jared. Nobody taught you anything about that. and loans and a balance. Even that kind of gone by the wayside now too though. But even,
but just,
yeah,
but you're right,
Jared,
like nobody,
nobody taught you anything about that.
Like my accountant,
financial advisor,
whatever the fuck his name,
like whatever his title is,
like I just send him everything.
And he's still in a place called Snook,
Texas outside of college station.
And he's like getting like my Massachusetts,
New York.
And I'm like,
I don't know what to do.
Guess what?
He probably doesn't either. He's probably just like, uh, here you go And I'm like, I don't know what to do. Guess what? He probably doesn't either.
He's probably just like, uh, here you go.
I haven't owed since I was like, it sounds like you're, you're, and I know you're not,
but it sounds like you're like a 1099 employee.
The only time I've ever owed to the government is when I was 1099.
Yeah.
I used to get money back all the time.
Once I got married, once I had a house and once I had kids and all that shit.
I thought that was the whole point of doing all of that.
That's what I thought too.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I remember being like, oh, like at least, hey, at least I'll
get some like tax benefits.
And that just hasn't happened anytime soon.
So like the two things I've always been told to get married, it's like a religious thing.
So if you're into that, get married and then you get tax benefits.
And what you're telling me is tax benefits doesn't
work because maybe that's maybe we did get a benefit but as soon as i was married we filed
together and our money combined was way higher and way more taxes so yeah but they're still supposed
i'm saying this as if i have any clue i have lived my entire life thinking that's the reason that
like like what is that movie with adam sandler like chuck and larry don't they get married for that kind of shit i i don't know insurance purposes sure i bet if i if i didn't jump into
like a new tax bracket when i got married maybe those benefits would have canceled out but it was
more just like oh what was it called the fucking i remember saying that to kenny i remember saying
like well you know the marriage benefits and he laughed and was like, yeah, okay, bro. Because there was some other, there's some, there's some acronym.
It's like TAV, TA tax, like a three letter thing that was basically just like in New York.
If you're married, you get fucked.
That's why whenever people talk about destinations for professional athletes.
New York's never on the list.
Well, Florida and Texas.
I mean, Grant, right now, no one wants to be in those places, but
no state tax.
And definitely, are we the only city
that has any city tax?
I don't know what I'm sure.
If not the only one, I'm sure we're the highest.
I mean, I know Boston doesn't.
Taxes are stupid.
Fucking goddamn wreck.
Like, doing taxes are stupid.
I mean, it's the worst. I'm sorry you owe so much money
that sucks Kevin
it's a lot of county taxes
yeah that's another thing I live in Yonkers
Yonkers has like a county tax
I'm like fuck you Yonkers
Yonkers is not worth a god damn
cent
I think that every county has county taxes
yeah but there's something about Yonkers New York
it's like one of the rarest places in the country that also has this additional thing on top of it.
This is...
Fuck you.
I have very much stated a million times how much more I like living on the East Coast than I did in Texas.
Nothing against Texas.
A lot of people love Texas.
I will be, for the sake of sounding like a douchebag,
I will be a bi-coastal person for the rest of my life.
That's absolutely going to happen.
There are some things, such as city taxes,
how expensive everything is up here,
all the things that you guys New Yorkers have to deal with,
people in the South just don't deal with.
New York has a waterfront property tax. Yeah.
So if you live on the waterfront in either New York or New Jersey,
you pay a tax.
They will find a way to fuck you, Zaha.
They will find a goddamn way.
By the way, Kate, just side note
for people, and nobody can see what Kevin
and I can just see, Kate just walked by the studio
with two watermelons, and I
know she's about to go
do something with Brandon Walker, and that's
terrifying because I feel like what happened yesterday
in Nantucket. Jared Jared your father's out of control
that video made me laugh
that was weird
that was a weird
video and I've been watching
Dave and Barstool do strange videos
what did you think was so weird about it
are you being sorry you're not
you're asking me that genuinely no I want you to describe it
okay I was like are you being serious right now
I want you to describe it. Okay, I was like, are you being serious right now? No, I want you to describe. Kevin, what was so weird about that?
So your father, Jared, had
a teenage
boy show up to his house
yesterday with
his buddy on bikes and his dad
walking around in the fucking background
and he proceeded to have
a
cannibalistic
type of watermelon eating contest where he was like devouring a half
watermelon next to a small boy a teenage boy a 17 year old the the best uh the leading up to the
video the best part was the dm exchange where he's like you're not here at two o'clock. He's like, I'm riding my bike. And he's like, oh, that's right.
You don't have your license, you pussy.
You pussy. John and
I saw that in public. We were just like dying
laughing because it was just so perfect.
Like Dave is 43 and he's like
chirping a teenager for not having
a car to drive
the watermelons over to Dave's
Nantucket compound.
And then he showed,
did you watch the video,
Dave?
You should have a fucking license.
I mean,
the fact that the kid had to drive the watermelons,
ride the watermelons.
Was his dad there though?
What,
his dad drives separately or he rode a bike too?
Well,
in the background of the video, there's just some dude like walking around.
Is that not his dad?
Oh,
I have no idea.
I just assumed it was his father.
Cause there's this old man,
Jared, walking around, talking on the phone.
And you could tell Dave was, like, really not happy with that guy.
You know, he's, like, trying to, like, not be a total asshole about it.
But he was like, that guy's about to get kicked out.
Like, who the fuck is that guy?
That guy needs to pipe down.
So he's, like, cool with the, you know, like, the eighth grader showing up to eat a watermelon.
But the old man walking around, not so much.
And they proceed to have a—
During the video? Yeah. Well, but in the very background. Like, behind the pool. It's not so much. He was talking on the phone during the video?
In the very background, behind the pool.
It's not like it's ruining the video, but he's just
walking around the edge of Dave's pool
like he's wheeling and dealing, making business deals
or some shit. It's like, what are you
doing in some stranger's backyard?
At one point, whenever they're actually doing
the watermelon eating, you can just
see the hammock going crazy.
I was like, is this dude just chilling in the hammock? It ended up being just the wind blowing see the hammock like going crazy and i was like is his is this dude
just like chilling in the hammock and they ended up being just the wind like everywhere but still
like filming it and laughing it up not realizing that dave was like i don't like you get the fuck
off my property the whole but it was so funny and dave uh i mean who do you think won that
see i don't know the the rules of the watermelon challenge all right but whatever but
just like your eyes your i think dave won it do you yeah i thought it was very clear that the kid
won well also the kid sandbagged him and said it was only one one half so that's already like i feel
like they weren't supposed to do full watermelons so but i feel like david faster but david faster
but he didn't finish
it how do you know if it's finished both of them still had watermelon left on the i thought i thought
it looked like that was the other thing they kept calling it grinds they both kept calling
for watermelon you know as soon as i said ryan i was like am i saying this right because i saw
your tweet about how like uh but i thought i thought i thought that the kid finished first
and i thought that dave left more watermelon on the right i thought that the kid finished first and i thought
that dave left more watermelon on the right i thought it was like well the part i can't believe
that there was even i can't believe anybody thought dave won this is the problem and by the
way just let me clear that i said this on twitter too everyone thinks that i'm like biased against
dave like i promise you i hate that fucking 17 year old just as much that oh that kid yeah so it's a fair fight for me here
and i and i as a machine yeah that's what i'm saying but i feel like i'm biased towards the
fact that dave finished the first one so much faster and then i mean the kid doesn't even look
like he's eating it half the time but he is i just i don't know i think maybe i didn't watch
the whole i i feel the complete opposite about
all this I feel like the kid was like going back and forth super fast and I feel like
the first one that Dave ate it was gone in like a second he just couldn't swallow it well right
but that's that's part of your but in the hot dog meeting contest as long as it's in here oh it is
they specified that like you have to swallow and stick your tongue out that's right it's not just
what's in your mouth and then then, I mean, Dave,
your,
your dad pulled out all the,
all the stops on the excuse train,
Jared.
I already ate before you came.
I,
I wasn't full.
I wasn't hungry.
I was already choked.
Yeah.
He's like,
let me be clear about this.
First of all,
I almost choked.
Yeah,
that's your fault.
There's a still shot moment.
And I saw it in like,
while I was actually watching the video in real time.
But then the still shot is perfect where they both have the watermelons in their mouth and they're just staring at each other is so good.
Well, he breaks the watermelon at one point because he's like, I can't get my mouth in there.
I'm like, well, I mean, that's part of a watermelon eating contest.
And then he blamed him.
Jared, at one point he said he has young teeth.
The kid cheated.
He has young people teeth.
He does have young people teeth he's a teenager
and also there appears to be way more watermelon
on the table in front of Dave
than this child
I mean I know that everyone's going to always lean towards Dave
but I felt like
there's just too much evidence
to the contrary
Zah who do you think won?
Team Portnoy Zah?
Dave definitely won can you imagine evidence to the contrary. Za, who do you think won? Team Portnoy Za? Dave in the last one. Dave, Dave, Dave
definitely won. Can you imagine
what, like, so somebody else that was watching the video
with us in person yesterday,
she was like, I feel so bad
for this kid. I was like, you feel bad for this kid? This kid's
going to be living on cloud nine
for, it's like the,
we're going to go back to Entourage, can you believe it?
The episode of Entourage where those kids end up
with Vinny Chase at the high school party.
Especially in Nantucket where it's a very tiny little community.
He's at his house.
Oh, you're the guy who ate watermelon at Prez's house.
If they go back to school because who knows if school is actually happening in the fall.
That kid is going to.
Hand jobs galore for that kid.
Oh, I mean, it's going to be.
Because it's not even just like, oh, I met Dave Portnoy or I saw him at a bar.
You were at his Nantucket house.
Oh.
And by the way,
he,
uh,
before this all went down,
he tweeted out the letter that the kid wrote to him and just
completely doxed his phone number.
The only reason Dave,
Dave doxes phone numbers on the regular.
The only reason I knew that any of it was happening in the
moment when that was happening is I saw your tweet.
That was like,
nobody doxes phone numbers.
Like Portnoy.
I was like,
who the fuck did he dox this time?
He's done it. Like you've done it to dave i feel like he just does not understand that there are phone numbers in anything he tweets out but then again like if you if you so like when he
docks dan what she's done before and he's docks other people like that's one thing if you're like
a grown-ass person on twitter and you you just start like blowing up a 17 year old's phone number
because dave docks you like you're kind of an asshole. Oh, you're definitely an asshole. Guess what?
Everybody's an asshole. That's true. I mean
that kid is for sure getting hit up by people.
I right now girls
but again, that's the thing. He probably like
likes it. You know what I mean? Oh, I mean, you can you imagine
like the girls his age that like
might be either on Nantucket or like
know him be like, hey, so you think we can go over
and like you want to ride my bike and like, you know,
you think that like Dave will like let us come like lay out
by the pool the answer is no he fucking how about 20 20 chef 20 that hurt my bones did you see that
rocket yeah yeah i did that was 20 chef with just a which was like a completely reasonable and
harmless request like hey can i come to your nan tuck it house and we could do uh you know we can
do some uh food content?
And Dave just, rather than just saying no, puts it out there on Twitter as fastest no in barstool history.
Jesus Christ, man.
That was mean.
That was mean-spirited. Yeah, but you just, like, if you work here, you should just know better.
Yeah, well, I mean, I think.
Like, you should kind of know like props to sean for like
trying of course i just you know i would never even consider doing that if you're not like
somebody because i mean again i'm just making an assumption here if you're dming him you don't
have his phone number i would guess and you also know that anything that he gets in his dms he's
absolutely gonna be fair game like i don't think Like, I don't think, again, assumption,
I don't think that if that would have been
a text message conversation,
it would have been outed as easily.
Oh, I think that was happening no matter what.
You really think so?
Mm-hmm.
So again, it just goes back to your relationship with Dave.
Anything in his DMs is for public.
Right, anything.
Right, anything in his DMs.
So that's where I was like, ugh.
Like, he was trying.
I mean, you got to know that there's a very short list of people that, like, Dave likes right anything in his dms so that's where i was like like he was trying i mean you gotta know
that there's a very short list of people that like dave likes and would like let him let go
to his house you know well the tough look was when donnie yeah immediately tweeted after last year and
was like hey remember when you said i could come swim well right now the other thing like i don't
think he likes anybody yeah well he because he didn't. So for the July week was bad for everybody, for you guys.
By the way, you know, it's so funny.
I remember saying that this is the first year where we won't have the last week of June into July problem with Dave.
You're wrong.
And it was the biggest one.
It's like Final Destination.
Like, it will find a way you can change the dates.
You can change the office setting. You can change the office setting.
You can change the work setting.
The last week of June will find a way to be catastrophic with Dave Portnoy.
But the difference this year was that, I mean, granted, you know, he obviously was involved in it.
But it wasn't his stick of dynamite as he, like, gets on his blade to go to Nantucket.
He was embroiled more so.
He was the stick of dynamite.
Right, exactly.
But, like, like the you know normally
usually he drops it and then he goes has fun
the video that he did last year like
when he was on his helicopter
on the way to Nantucket he was just like
laughing just being like haha look at everybody
this time it was like jokes on you this was like
but I think that Dave
would allow like team Portnoy
um
and like he there's a there's a list of people that he would not
maybe he would not rocket if you if you ask dave if you were like i'm on nantucket with my family
like can i come over your house to hang what do you think would happen
um i think it'd be different uh. The family aspect changes things.
No, no, I'm not saying you're bringing your family.
I'm just saying if you were to be in Nantucket for some reason,
and then you just said, like, hey, my family's going to go to dinner, but I was going to come by the crib and hang out and have some high noons.
What do you think?
What would you say?
I don't think it would be a straight no.
Dave and I, there's been a couple times where I've like
gone out with like Gaz and Dave
and like me and Dave will
kind of just like go off and like do our own thing
like we kind of have like the same similar
yeah like we have
like a similar not club
Dave like me and bar Dave are
different people but we kind of like
have the same vibe
be honest this happened like once right when the hell did this happen this could not be a regular bar Dave or different people, but we kind of like have the same vibe. Be honest.
This happened like once,
right?
When the hell did this happen?
This,
this could not be a regular thing.
No,
no,
it definitely wasn't a regular thing.
It's happened a couple of times though in New York,
like after I moved to New York for sure.
And what,
and so you guys,
what it's like,
uh,
you,
you and Dave go,
uh,
hit on chicks or something.
No,
we like literally just like have conversations about,
uh, life life just father
and son talk so i think you would get the invite then i think you'd be i don't know i mean like it
really depends on his mood like it depends on the day it depends on which way the wind's blowing but
i'm sure that there would be like certain circumstances where he'd be like fuck no and
then there would be other circumstances where he's like yeah if you want to come by come by
yeah i i that's the other thing too is you got
to catch him on you know what what what the mood is you know but i think it's like gas and team
portnoy and that's like really bad there's there's definitely like a list which is totally normal by
the way it's like yeah you shouldn't just have like a green light to go over people's houses
let alone the absolutely not i mean it's like i i mean i don't have a nantucket house but my apartment i treat the same way like i would be like uh just like random like there was
like a random person that i'm not friends with at barstool that was like hey like no i feel like
when it comes to that it's like whoever you do content with or whoever you're actually close
friends with and unfortunately for chef he falls in neither one of those categories for not many
people do with dave that's the whole point not even as far they can go is he has mike portnoy
i feel like dave would like he might be at the bottom of the list yeah i think you know uh i feel
like anybody before he has to deal with mine and maybe not even just content like i feel like if you if he asked dave to do a cooking video you
know in a in a not 2020 random month that's not july he wouldn't have gotten roasted on twitter
that way i'd probably like but he's still getting a no yeah yeah he's still getting a no but he's
not gonna get just like well it's july it's nantucket
it's he has his chef is probably genuinely being like that would be a cool setting for a video
sure and that's like you're in it but but i think dave probably thinks that it's like a boondoggle
i think even if he's trying to use it as like i want to use you for your house i don't blame
chef for trying to think of the idea, but I do feel like
you just kind of know...
I feel like everybody here,
and maybe I'm just speaking from the people I talk
to, you kind of just know where you
stand in certain things like that. I wouldn't
ask to go to someone's vacation home that
I'm not friends with. I think Chef knows that.
I just don't think he expected to be
publicly eradicated.
How could you not? It's Dave.
Dave publicly eradicates everybody it's date yeah but i think you
can publicly eradicate everybody just say no and not just well it depends on his mood and i i would
say currently right now the mood currently the mood is don't ask yeah don't ask to go to his
house maybe let's get a couple calls before we go to the break uh after the break we'll get into all
the topics of the day we got to get into nick cannon and all the controversy, we'll get into all the topics of the day. We've got to get into Nick Cannon and all the controversy. But we'll start with Tyler in North Dakota, one of seven people in North Dakota.
What's up, Tyler?
Hi, guys.
How's it going?
I'm good.
How about you?
It's an honor to be on your guys' show.
So I guess I'm calling.
I've been trying to get in touch with anybody at bar school.
So I go to school at the know i go to school at the university
of north dakota i'm an aviation student and um i can think outside the box and i know that you
guys travel a lot and i've been wondering um have you guys ever thought about buying a jet
or purchasing some sort of private jet and then i I would offer to be your guys' pilot.
It'd be an honor.
Imagine that, a personal Barstool pilot.
I have said this every single time that I walk out on the tarmac for the
college football show, bless up hopefully in 2020,
it would not surprise me if the jet that we're getting on says airport
noise on the side.
Like just like the Barstool logo.
Well, the thing about it is.
Like we charter them, or by we, I mean Barstool logo. The thing about it is... We charter them. By we, I mean Barstool does.
But it would not surprise me now with how much worth now that he wouldn't want his name on the side of a plane.
Oh, he definitely wants it.
I think that private jet money is like big money.
Like to own one, you mean?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Next, next level.
I don't think Tom Brady owns a jet.
I think you have to be like a billionaire
i think the people who have like their own planes are like mega rich but we do have the same pilots
sometimes of the same planes but they're not but they're charters right yeah you're just like uh
yeah but would it surprise you if like just one day wheels up or whatever these fucking companies
are called it's not but it's like the same idea yeah but it's just like out of teeterborough but
i mean i've said that in dead seriousness.
Like I think that one day when I go to get on a plane, it'll say airport.
I do think that as expensive as it is to probably charter these things individually, it still is the correct economical route as compared to just having a plane that, you know, you fly a few times a year that just sits there.
Yeah.
I feel like a lot of celebrities use Blade
or Wheels Up or like whatever the company
I don't know like I don't want to talk to our company
I mean I'm trying to think of like the people
who have it it's like A-Rod has his own
right maybe yeah
I'm pretty sure he leases it
a lot of guys like you think that own
so like Drake leases his
it's like real billion in money
I think you need legit like billions.
But then again, I could see like a charter company being like, okay, like you're still going to be leasing this plane.
Well, that's what, yeah.
But we could brand it for you.
One of our fleet will say airport noise.
And then maybe other people can fly it as well, but you'll always fly airport noise.
Dave would never let that happen.
Again, I don't think that, Dave's rich. I don't know if he's rich enough to be calling private jet shots maybe not I don't know
but Tyler we'll keep you we'll keep you in the loop Tyler if you if we ever do need a uh imagine
that if there was just a guy who just like he sits here and does nothing except wait for the call to
do that would be awesome because listen we there were some times that we had some pilots that were
real assholes last year Tyler I'm just saying like some of them were great well we were talking about juice world the other
day and how his pilot was like basically snitched on him i hope that pilot is somewhere in solitary
confinement outside of having to listen to the juice world album right now have you listened to
that yet it is the saddest shit i've ever heard first of all i've been listening to it non-stop
which i don't know what that says about me. But how his friends and the people around him didn't know how fucked up he was is crazy.
Well, I think he probably is very often fucked, was very fucked up, right?
The song where it says, ring, ring, here's a call from depression.
And he's like, this is the part where I tell you I'm fine even though i'm lying because i don't want anyone to worry yeah uh bro you're putting that down like on tracks and like nobody
in the studio is like yeah maybe we should uh well i mean i'm sure people notice it's just
like you don't think he's gonna die you know well and he's like i i uh like i can't live without
the drugs but i'm not gonna live with the drugs if yeah, if I don't take the pills, it'll kill me. But if I take the pills,
it'll kill me.
That pilot's an asshole.
Like I understand,
like you probably don't want like the,
from what I understand,
he called the FBI or called the police or whatever,
because he saw how much drugs was on the plane.
And then that I could understand if you're a pilot and you're like,
that's so much drugs that like,
if we get caught that this is like going to fuck my career up.
Again,
I don't know.
I don't know what kind of whole point of flying private is that you get to
check your shit.
I don't know.
Again,
I don't know what juice road was flying.
I don't know what the,
the rap world looks like.
He took it all because they caught like,
he was like,
I got to get rid of this.
Right.
And that,
so he had like a heart attack and a seizure.
Like I'm,
I have a very small amount of plane experience but even
when i was flying with the nba which was on like a chartered plane like they don't check your bags
like it's not like they're i mean i'm assuming but you know what it's also just whatever panel
whatever you're gonna get like a drug charges or just like have your boys or whoever just like
why don't we split all of these up like right but he yeah no that
that album i talked to my therapist about that album today i was like listen let me tell you
something if any i just say who's juice world what yeah i don't even care to tell my therapist
story i just did let's let's hit a break break jared and go check it out anthony you've been
on the line for a while we'll get to you after the break we'll explain who juice world is after
the commercial.
We'll talk a little Nick Cannon and baseball, whatever else is on your mind.
Call us up, 833-85-STOOL on CCB.
Today's episode of the Best Of Podcast is brought to you by those son of a bitches over at Spittin' Chicklets.
Those bastards fucking make a goddamn liquor, and next thing you know, they're getting pumped with ads on my fucking show.
What the shit is that about, huh?
Huh, Bissonette?
Huh, Whitney, huh?
Fucking Rear Admiral, you missed—huh, fucking McGonagall?
That fucking Snake Grinnell?
You guys have just backdoored a whole bunch of fucking ads on my goddamn show, haven't you?
I see how it is. I see how it goes.
All you got to do is make the fastest selling liquor of all goddamn time.
And next thing you know, it's free ads for life, too.
Funny how that fucking works, huh?
Brought to you by Pink Whitney. Flavored fucking vodka.
Don't know if you guys have heard about it. If if we have we've funneled this down your goddamn throat two bajillion bottles sold but we still
got to do goddamn ad reads for the fucking cck best of podcast because i'm sure that's going to
move another another three bottles on top of that goddamn mountain of fucking bottles you've already sold.
Go buy some fucking pink Whitney. Let's get this podcast. We had a whole new drop for the Viva
brand involving all sorts of new hoodies, tie dye, quilted cotton guys, girls. We got it all.
First off, we got a brand new quilted hoodie. The quilted hoodie is basically what's going to put my
kids through college one day. We've got every different variation under the
fucking sun right now. We jumped on the tie dye train while keeping it true to the Viva brand
roots with some black, white, and gray. So it's like a dark black and white tie dye, uh, hoodie
with the quilted material. Go a size up. Don't put it in the dryer. Also girls, I took care of you.
I turned it into a crop sweatshirt. I also made some short shorts of the same material with the same tie-dye brand buy them as a set you save a couple bucks
you could wear this uh black tie-dye cropped booty shorts set with the quilted uh quilted material
we've also got the colorful tie-dye if you're into that it's purple yellow green on a white
cotton hoodie normal material not quilted you could buy that it's unisex for guys or girls
the matching pants are strictly for the ladies which i may be miscalculated. I thought that that looked
like pretty much like feminine clothes, but a lot of the guys are telling me they want matching
pairs. So maybe I'm going to have to release them in men's right now. All those sizes are for girls
only. We've also got, what else did we drop? We also got a brand new windbreaker rain jacket.
It's the lightest jacket in the world.
I always had a problem with when it was spring or summer and it's raining and you want to wear a jacket, like a rain jacket, but then you're hot as fuck.
So I made the lightest material humanly possible.
It's available in an army tan for the Viva brand.
And also on top of that, we just got a plain old zip-up jacket. It's light enough that you can tan for the Viva brand. And also on top of that,
we just got a plain old zip up jacket. You can, it's light enough that you can wear it inside as
part of your outfit. It's heavy enough that during the spring or fall, when it's cooler out,
you can rock it as your outdoor jacket. It just has the Viva Braille logo across the top of the
shoulder. So a whole new set of Viva clothes at the Barstool store, go to store.barstoolsports.com,
go to the Viva section and buy it up now.
I'm hard in the back and nobody gets hurt.
Now I'm in for love.
I'm not fast, so I'm making it worse.
Now I'm digging up a grave for my past.
I'm a whole different person.
So that's Juice WRLD, Jared.
Juice WRLD is a rapper, singer.
He just overdosed, what, maybe like a year ago?
November.
Not even yet November.
It feels like a forever ago.
I believe it's November.
He was what, 20, 19?
21.
21.
And I wasn't a huge Juice WRLD person before.
I knew a couple of his songs.
I mean, he was definitely popular, but let's not mistake this.
This is what happens when there's tragedy and people get in the news.
It's also just incredibly sad.
Same things happened with Pop Smoke and every artist.
I feel like Juice WRLD was more mainstream than Pop Smoke, right?
Yeah, Juice WRLD was definitely more popular.
Who the fuck is Pop Smoke?
Pop Smoke's a rapper who got shot recently and uh his album just came
out it's a posthumous uh album came out went number one and like he's good you know but you
know i definitely think people the the folklore that kind of surrounds you when when something
like that happens i think you know but i do i do it's also like mac miller i mean i liked mac miller before when he died i
listened to way more of his stuff i didn't well he also had like a career a lot right these other
guys are like their first album came out or didn't even come out and it's like you know stopped
before they even got a chance to really start like there are some songs on swimming of mac
miller like oh yikes like he was really going through some shit that's that i think that's
the difference with this juice worldRLD album is the entire
thing is that way. Juice WRLD,
there's a clip of Lil Dicky on the album
saying that he thinks Juice WRLD is the best
freestyler of all time. And there's clips of him, Jared,
where he's just going off the top of the
head for minutes.
Wasn't there an hour long one?
That's what I was about to say. Did you see the one that he went on
for hours? An hour.
Insane. And he kind of does what Cal from Time Flies does where he's like reading random words so you know it's not, you know, there's no like pre-written stuff.
It's truly off the top of the head.
And one of the biggest compliments on the album when they're talking about it is, and I mean, Zai, I know you agree with me too.
It's like when Lil Wayne was like at his peak and he was able to freestyle like that, they say they're like, he is Lil Wayne in like the early 2000s.
Lil Dicky said that he would go in the studio,
like a beat would be on.
He would rap for like three minutes and be like,
all right,
the song is done,
which already is crazy.
Like to just,
to just do it in one shot.
And then he would do it again.
And he would tell the engineer,
like,
just pick,
pick whichever one you want.
Like,
I don't care.
They're both good.
Like,
like,
like,
you know,
sometimes you do take one,
take two,
take 10. And then you mix. All right. This part of the verse was good on this one. care they're both good like like like you know sometimes you do take one take two take ten and
then you mix all right this part of the verse was good on this one this ending was better on the
other track let's put them all together and he was kind of more just like which i don't care
whichever one it's incredible incredibly talented wild and very very very sad so great album though
that's um if you're trying to get in your, Jared. OK, now, you know, Juice WRLD or affectionately called Juicy WRLD by your dad.
He did a line like the first song on the new album.
He says, like, put my hands in the air like I'm El Prez, which I don't know why.
What is he referring to?
It's definitely not Dave.
No, but what is it?
I don't know.
A beer.
I don't know.
I'm not sure.
He says El Prez at one point.
So I'm not sure.
But that's not the juicy world well if in watching that unravel like kevin bonner was in the office
when that was happening and so obviously he has to watch everything that he's doing
dave's doing and watching that unravel where dave didn't realize that juice world was dead and like
i was says he gonna admit it and kevin was like you know he's working through it right now and
so we all turned it on he's like's like, oh, so he's dead.
Juicy World's dead.
He's like, was Juicy World a stoolie?
And then he looks it up and he's like, oh, he died of a seizure.
That's sad.
Like, just completely missed the point that he took all of his drugs because, you know,
it was just very, it was so Dave, but he just kept calling him Juicy World.
And then he was like, but he says I'll press.
So he must have been a stoolie.
There is zero shot that Juice World was a stoolie.
Like, no chance.
There's the ego there's like the you know like of course like one of the biggest rappers in the world are
talking about me yeah it's gotta be it's gotta be like i go that's a that's a barstool hotbed
and all jared all the cities are barstool i'm telling you if he if he was if he was
recording an album that majority 90 of the songs songs are about how depressed he is and his anxiety and his pills and everything.
And then he just chose to throw Dave Portnoy in the mix.
If he shouted out Feidelberg, that would make more sense.
He was like, shout out to mental health in 2020 inside Barstool Sports, maybe.
But if you think that he's going to mix in a Dave Portnoy lyric when he's talking about overdosing before he actually overdoses you're wrong god bless let's get this
some calls 833 85 stool tony from seattle's been online the whole show so i gotta get to him what's
up anthony how we doing uh doing good love you guys the only reason really i'm serious and i
just wanted to ask why is laura gold Goldman portraying herself as queen of meth Twitter?
Okay, I have to apologize, I believe, Anthony.
I think I've contributed to this. So for those who don't know, Laura Goldman is this girl
on Twitter. She is like a journalist, although I don't think she
has like a home base. It's not like she's like for the Times or whatever.
I think she's written for a bunch of different publications.
And she does seem to have,
or at least portray herself as having like an inside track on a lot of
Mets business,
particularly Steve Cohen and the Wilpons selling.
And while nothing is like,
well,
nothing has really totally unfolded and like materialized yet, so I don't think we can tell.
But it does sound like she's had an inside track in the sense that she knew that Steve Cohen was still in the mix.
She knew when his bids were coming in.
Now, again, I could have said those things.
Her Twitter picture is her holding a bald eagle.
Yeah, and it's
weird because she's either talking like politics and then all of a sudden mets and uh anthony i'm
gonna let you go there's a lot of noise in the background but i'll answer your question um
she i lost i lost i was calling her calisi of mets twitter like she she was this like rogue
reporter she didn't have any ties
to the team, but she was like,
here's what the fuck's going on.
So far, she had been right.
Then the other day, she tweeted support for Ghislaine Maxwell.
I was like,
I don't fuck with that.
What kind of support?
She said that the Maxwell family has been good to her
in her times of need,
and so that she's not going to abandon a friend
during her time of need and i was like bro that chick is responsible for potentially
thousands of deaths like a full-blown mass murderer in my mind who like human trafficked
she was jeffrey epstein's girlfriend and like right hand man i don't care if that's your own
mother i don't care she like literally pulled you from a burning building and you're loyal at some point
you got to be like well you were nice to me but but but you're a bad person yeah or maybe don't
publicly state yeah that was wild to be like maybe just keep it to yourself she knew that
gillian was in new ham like when she got arrested i think she was in New Hampshire or Vermont one of those two and she was like yeah I knew
that and people were like
no but I
it's Ghislaine it's some people just say
like Ghislaine like I don't know
I've been adding an S into it for sure
what have you been saying oh but some people say that like Ghislaine
yeah so I don't know
I say it different every time on purpose
I'm like Ghislaine
it's like Adrian Grenier how the fuck do you say his last name I thought it different every time on purpose. I have no idea. It's like Adrian Grenier.
How the fuck do you say his last name?
I thought it was Grenier.
The Grenier.
There's all these weird things.
Well, that's, you know, I mean.
Who the fuck says Grenier?
A lot of people.
I'm sure the people who are French or whatever, right?
Yeah, it's French.
So when you're, you know, you're going.
Well, I'm not French.
You're just Lane Maxwell.
That's what it looks like to me. Just Lane. That's what I'm not French. You're just Lane Maxwell. That's what it looks like to me.
Just Lane.
But that's what I'm rolling with.
She when you once you are team, you know, pedophile team, human trafficker.
I am not team you.
However, she's been quite accurate so far with her Mets reporting.
And I need to know what the fuck's going to happen.
Which, by the way, Jared, you see this old motherfucker who's throwing his hat in the ring?
No, I just saw that there was like a big announcement coming with the Mets.
Yeah, so the Harris group is in the mix, right?
These are the guys who own the Sixers, the Steelers, I think the Penguins.
They own three of the four major sports,
mostly Pennsylvania and Philly teams.
And they want to kind of complete the ring here
and get a baseball team.
And so they've been rumored to be in the mix for a while,
although kind of like a distant second or third,
depending on if Cohen's in the mix and A-Rod and whatnot.
And all of a sudden,
the report is that Harris Blitzer.
What a name.
Is that the Harris guys?
I don't know.
Sheldon Anderson is his name.
Sheldon Anderson.
Look at this guy, Casey.
Look at him.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, he looks like an
absolute corpse he's like a 86 year old he has 31 billion dollars can i ask a question yeah what's
going on with his hair i mean he's 86 years old no i know falling off of his fucking head is it
is it a toupee and that's the worst toupee i've ever seen if that's well no i mean it looks like
the sides how about his skin yeah it looks like the sides of his skin. Yeah, it looks
like that. You know, I can't look, you know, in
Braveheart when that dude's dying of
syphilis and his skin is like falling apart. That's
what this guy should not have laughed at that. That wasn't
a bad person laugh. So this
guy decides to join up with the
Harris group and
he's got 31 billion. A lot
of money. And so that obviously has a private plane.
Probably that guy's probably private plane money. You think he has a private plane? Probably.
That guy's probably private plane money.
So now all of a sudden that group is much more formidable,
and people are saying it's going to be a real challenge for Steve Cohen.
Now, I hope that's not the case.
How much money does Steve Cohen have?
$13 billion. Oh, and this guy is $31 billion.
But this guy is 31 but this guy but this guy is like kevin but he's but he if if a
31 billionaire was like i'm buying the team like you're in trouble he's like i'll be a part of your
investment so he doesn't want to just like a little you know another toy yeah so he might
you know here's a cash infusion but But that's not a true...
It depends on how interested he is.
I heard this Harry guy fucking hates Mookie Betts too.
I mean, I just want Steve Cohen.
If Stevie Cohen wants the team, he's going to get the team.
I think if this 31 billionaire guy decides that he wants the team,
then he can't be outbid.
But again, I don't think he has the same passion and drive as Steve Cohen, but this guy
might be like, here's a billion.
And then you combine that with these guys' billion, and all of a sudden they are in Steve Cohen
territory. So basically, Steve Cohen's going to have to try to outbid
a couple other billionaires. What's this dude's name again? Sheldon Anderson.
I thought you said Blitzer.
The other group,
so it's like the Harris-Blitzer group.
Blitzer, that's the villain name.
That's what we're going with.
So it's Uncle Stevie versus Blitzer.
So it's a combination of Silver Lakes partners.
That's the old guys ones and Harris-Blitzer.
Yeah.
And then you got the A-Rod-R ripoli conglomerate so what's funny is that
like the mets who are just this piece of shit dumpster fire burning barrel of garbage has you
know three major groups bidding over them rich people want to own sports i know but it's just
funny to think that the will ponds are like the bell of the ball like you guys are fucking idiots
but they're the bell of the ball because they're going broke.
That's the difference.
It's like they smell blood in the water, right?
It's not like they're all trying to buy like the Dallas Cowboys.
I said what they're doing is they're buying like, like you're buying a house that's on fire.
Yeah.
But it's waterfront property.
Exactly.
And so everyone buying it is like, I'm going to knock this thing down and rebuild it.
But I'm buying a New York City property.
It's not like the super hot girl that everyone's trying to win over because they want to be with her.
It's like she's no longer hot, but she still lives a really fun life, so they want to kick her out.
Or like she can be made hot.
It's like the she's all that.
We're like the ugly girl, but we just have a ponytail and glasses on, and these guys are going to come by us and put our hair down and take our glasses off,
and we're going to be the problem.
I'm more talking about the Wilpons, though.
They're not the bells of the ball.
Everybody knows that they're going broke.
Yeah, which is why it's annoying, though, that these guys are going to get in a bidding war,
and the Wilpons are going to end up making whatever they—
Cohen bids $2.6 billion, it falls through, and're thinking like, oh, well, they'll never get that again.
Well, if there's going to be three different billionaire groups bidding over you, you probably
will get back up.
If I was Steve Cohen, I would not, I would not go higher than my original bid.
I'd be paying.
I would be too.
But I mean, but then again, I guess how bad do you want the team?
Right.
So I'm thinking that Steve Cohen still has the most like drive and determination and a shark and still,
you know, when you have enough billions, it's like 13 versus 31, obviously 31 is a lot more,
but we're not going to bid 15 billion. It's going to, it's going to be around two ish. So
like these guys all can float in that range. Cause you also don't want to be the asshole
that overbids for the Mets either. Like you don't like if this blitzer, whoever, like you don't want to be the asshole that overbids for the Mets either. Like you don't like if, if this blitzer,
whoever,
like you don't want to be the people that are like,
ah,
we paid $10 billion for the New York Mets.
I,
the problem is this idea that the Wilpons don't want to sell to Cohen.
That's such bullshit.
It's like,
I get it.
It's your property.
You get to pick who you sell to,
but how can you just be like,
nah,
I don't like you like fuck off what's best when you
when your house is burning that's the thing that it's like not they shouldn't be able to be picky
right now if they are having to lay off people or whatever the fuck's going on like they should just
but even but even within the frame of what's going on like the best thing for baseball would be Steve Cohen, a singular owner from the city who has shown expressed interest in this team.
These Harris guys, they just want to have a baseball team to kind of complete their…
Portfolio.
Yeah.
Holy Trinity.
Yeah.
And I feel like they're calling up Sheldon Anderson almost as a favor because they know they're not going to be able to bid with Steve Cohen.
And it's like, hey, can you give us like a billion dollars?
They're like, hey, can you come in?
You'll be a 25% owner for this.
So it's like,
you know,
they talk about how the two thirds of the owners need to approve and they,
and those guys are going to want at least a $2 billion bid.
And like,
they want to do what's good for the league and what's good for them.
Well,
then that's the,
that's fucking Steve Cohen.
So I,
I know you can't compel anybody valued at like when the, how like Forbes does like the, uh, franchise't compel anybody. What were the Mets valued at? Like how Forbes does the franchise evaluations every single year.
What were the Mets worth?
Let me look that up because I feel like.
2.4 billion.
Yeah.
So they already had a 2.6 offer, already 200 million above their worth.
And they're going broke.
And he's back at two.
And these guys are coming in. You would assume that means if you're adding a new investor at this stage,
you probably means like, you know, you're going to make an offer over to.
So what if Steve Cohen just went and got somebody else?
I don't think he'll ever do that because he's just he's like, I don't need to.
And I'm that dude.
I have a soft shirt.
My thought, what I'm telling myself to trying to, you know, rationalize this is that a the Wilpons are going to be gone no matter what.
That's the most important thing.
Yes.
I secondly, I don't think that Steve Cohen will be outbid.
But if he is, that means that whoever outbid him is also a crazy motherfucker who throws his dick on the table and spends money.
So maybe it's a win winwin maybe but either way but i do believe that a singular owner of steve cohen who wants to win and go buy mookie bets is better than this like philly sports group mixed with a
100 year old bajillionaire well yeah because it's like nobody can tell him what decisions to make
so like what's that piece of art that he has the skinny man the 121 million stick man 41 141 like
if it's just him like he can go out and buy stupid shit like that.
Right.
If it's a group, they're like, eh, you don't want to pay Mookie Betts that.
Right, that's what I don't like.
Yeah.
And Jacob DeGrom has a sore back.
I genuinely mean this.
Shut it down.
I wouldn't play another fucking inning.
I would scrap this whole season, wait for Steve Cohen, and, like, just pray for next year.
Because what is the point of going out there? Like the lottery version of this season
where the Mets have a pretty good shot at doing some damage.
Not if it comes at the cost.
If it hurts.
Jacob DeGrom says, hey, I just had a stiff back.
No big deal.
But if there's any sort of concern at all, shut it down.
Why risk it?
We're less than 10 days away from opening day i know which is wild but you know
pete alonzo's walking around looking like a fat old polar bear he wants to go out there and mash
fine but jacob de grom he's he's tall and skinny and you know i don't know if he's got any issues
shut down i wouldn't yeah i don't disagree with you if it could be long term right but if it's
just his back is a little bit sore. I mean,
it's like what Frank Kaminsky said.
I know completely different because the season never actually started with
baseball,
but I liked what he said yesterday about how like he thinks that this is
going to be way harder because of like how hot you have to be getting into
it.
So it's like 60 games for baseball.
It's like all on like hyperized steroids.
Yeah.
So it's like,
it's on like a fast forward track.
So if Jacob DeGrom could be healthy,
you want him out there.
Yeah, but if there's any risk.
Mike from California, what's up?
What's good?
How are you, man?
I'm doing good. How about yourself?
I know we're up against a break, so real quick.
I think with your powers, you should do community service and go to the hospital.
And anybody who has COVID-19, tell them they're going to die,
because I guarantee you they'll live.
The mush will strike. I can't, I can't harness the mush.
The mush needs to be real. I can't just like say these things.
Otherwise I would run around rooting for the Yankees and the Patriots,
but the mush and the sports gods like know what's in my heart for real.
I just thought maybe it was worth a, worth a shot,
but just to clear up a couple of facts. His name is Sheldon Adelson.
He owns Sands in Las Vegas, a shit ton of property in Macau,
the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
And what he wants is Vegas wants an MLB team,
and they want to bring a team to Vegas.
Oh, so wait, that might work for me. That's why they're making the buy.
So he's thinking about buying and moving the team?
Correct.
See, that won't happen then.
They're not going to allow that.
That's actually good news because I don't think they would.
That's what I'm saying.
I think it's good news, but I think that's their end goal
because all these guys are casino guys, big guys.
They just got the Raiders.
That's what Vegas wants.
And MLB would like to have a team, obviously, in Vegas.
Sure, but I don't think at the cost of moving a New York City franchise.
You know what I mean?
Thanks for the call, Mike.
We're going to get to a couple of those before we hit the break.
And if you do believe in Laura Goldman,
she has said that there is really no, like,
that this Sheldon Adelson guy does not really, like, hold any weight.
So hopefully our pedophile-loving Khaleesi girl is correct on this one.
A couple more quickly because these are people who have to say nice things about us. We got
Jason from... Oh, he just
dropped. He wanted to say thank you.
So thanks. You're welcome. Spencer
from California. What do you got on the rocket?
What's up, man?
Make it real quick. A couple
weeks ago when you were out, it was just Casey
and Jared and that
one day where Johnny Damon
called in,
I only made me realize that Jared is not a bad guy at all.
Jared, you're not a bad guy.
He was sweating.
He was giving props to the Uber driver.
He's a cool dude, man.
Why did you think that Jared was a bad guy before that?
Because, like, I don't know.
I was recently watching all the Barca and him and White Sox Dave, and he's always fighting with Casey.
But one thing for you, Casey, that Friday night pints last week
was fucking hilarious, man.
Yeah, listen, The Rocket's a great guy.
He's a nice guy.
Yeah, who knew?
I mean, I think we all knew, but apparently Spencer just learned.
Well, he also, Jared is nicer to me when you're not here, Kevin.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's true.
It's true.
Because there would be no mediator.
Yeah, it would just be like, this is just me berating this girl.
It's kind of like he stands behind his big brother.
Oh, shit.
You hear that, Rocket?
So he can be mean to me when you're here because he knows that you'll get down.
You got about 30 seconds if you want to get in there.
If it's just the two of us, he knows who the boss in the room is.
The boss.
He knows.
He knows.
Jesus Christ.
I can't wait to order mozzarella sticks.
That's it for us.
Y'all go check out today's episode of Mail Time.
Me and the Rocket doing a little crime dogs with Sarah Turney,
who is leading the charge on what I think is the most interesting true crime case in the world right now.
Check it out on Mail Time, and we'll catch you tomorrow.
Do you guys bark on that show?
Yes, we do, Casey.
Solving crimes and barking, bitch.
We'll see you guys tomorrow.
Stay hot.
