This is the kid that he said he wishes he didn't name LeBron because I put too much pressure on him. We're already getting too deep into it

because we all found out after the fact this isn't even his kid. This is just another kid on the team. It's his son's best friend. Yes, you're right. Initially, we all thought we were talking about Bronny Jr. Here's the thing, Jared. We don't even know which one Bronny Jr. is because we're still focused on LeBron

James Sr., the dad. So, yeah. So this is actually not his son, but through the legs alley-oop, awesome moment. Very pretty. Now, watch what LeBron James does here. Runs out on the court, loses his shoe, flails around like a

fucking weirdo, and then does the jump bump with the son that is not his son okay so i said on my tweet now i mean like what's your what do you think about that i mean he's got a big fucking smirk on his face what's your take jared like i feel like my take isn't going to be a popular one like if my by the way there the way, there is no... It's pretty 50-50, so you're going to be, like, you're going to have people on either side of you.

Yeah, so, like, I'm trying... Like, LeBron is who he is, and obviously everyone thinks he's a douchebag, but I'm just trying to think, like, put myself in this kid's shoes. If I was playing high school baseball, and I hit a fucking bomb... Let's go, Jared.

...and Barry Bond's kid was on my team, and then Barry is like meeting me at home plate to be like yeah Rocket you smoked that shit. I'd be like yeah Barry I did. So you and Casey are doing the same thing. You're thinking about being a kid on the team because you're both

children. Yeah but here's the thing. Yes you are. In my example of like Barry Bonds like he's not known for look at me moments like LeBron is. Thank you. Like this is another strike against LeBron of being like, all right, like way to make it about you. But from the kid's perspective. From the kid's perspective.

Okay, and I, from the kid's perspective. You're all thinking like 14-year-olds. No, from the kid's perspective, yes. Which, by the way, this is about the kids because it's their. No, that's the point. But it is. It's so not about the kids. But it is.

It's about LeBron James. Well, no, because it's their basketball game like there wouldn't be a basketball game if it wasn't for 14 year old aau basketball let it be about them but if it's but he he will because the kids love it yeah the kids fucking love it no if the kids no one's talking about the kid who threw the fucking alley-oop through his legs but we're not we're not even talking about the play we would have never even seen that if it wasn't for lebron james we wouldn't have even seen that play if LeBron James wasn't at that game. So it would have never been about the kids.

That's true. That's a good point. It would be about him at his AAU game being awesome. We would have never seen it. We wouldn't see it, but the rest of the world who's fucking watching, anybody who did see it, would be talking about him. You don't think that that kid is happy that this has gone viral? The children are. Of course.

The children are okay with this. You're not thinking about the kids. The children are fine. Shame on you for not thinking about who you asked before. Kevin, I'm going to be over here as an adult. Okay. You guys can go with the 14-year-olds, and I will be talking with the adults. Okay.

He's a fucking weirdo as an adult. And so that's what I said. But he's not. And now it's turned into I'm racist. If you're at like Shea's volleyball game and she fucking spikes one into some kid's nose and then they win the state championship and you run out on the field.

I'm an asshole, right? Yes. It's so facto. LeBron James is acting like an asshole. But he's acting like an asshole. But he's acting like an asshole. But he's acting like an asshole. So that's just the fact. He's acting, his behavior

is asshole behavior. That's what I'm saying. And that is turned into Jason Tatum is now in the mix. And that has taken it to another level. I'm now racist. I'm a racist. That's ridiculous.

I'm a bad father. I'm racist. All the cheating stuff came back up again. What's the other one? Oh, like I'm never going to achieve athletic greatness so I could never possibly understand the excitement of a dog. You can't rule it out. I still got some bouncing legs on the table. I still got some bouncing legs.

Here's the thing. Shane. That's a good drop. Shane. I feel like in society, the way it works, if you have a higher status, you are allowed to do things. We can do this forever.

I know, but listen. He's being an asshole, but he's allowed to be an asshole. We know that. Okay, so that argument stands. So I'm not thinking about the kids only. I'm just thinking as a logical human. If Dave Portnoy acts like a fucking asshole, he can.

The rest of the company cannot. That's the way things are. LeBron James is the greatest basketball player on the planet. He can do it every once. The people who are calling you. And his kid is good. Yeah. Well, the people who are calling you a racist should be banned from the internet.

Because if you automatically default to racism just because the person who said it is the opposite race of the subject, you're the asshole. Well, I mean I can't even tell you how much more I would be making fun of an old white guy for doing this. It would be gloves off. If it was like Dirk Nowitzki, would you be making fun of him even more? Maybe not Dirk because he's a likable guy, but if it was a – That's the thing though. It's like, you just don't like LeBron. No, I mean, I actually

the funniest part of this is I defend LeBron. Like, I always defend LeBron and this is the one time where we all should be saying, that was weird. That was, like, really strange. That's what I said, MJ. Like, if MJ did that when I was playing basketball... If I ever saw Michael Jordan

flailing his arms around like that with 14-year-old kids, that's weird. I don't think it is, though. It's so weird. It's cool. It's not. It's not cool because it's LeBron. It's cool for the 14-year-olds. For the adults in the room, it's like, what are you doing?

I think Steph Curry would be called very, very corny. But he is being cor or i think you'd be called very very corny but he is being corny that's the thing is he lebron can still be a corny basketball dad there's no doubt that it's over the top there's no doubt that it's extra but it's like it's just yeah taco all that it's just like it's just weird like hey i'm normal like his whole his whole thing it's always been very a rod like until a rod has had his like renaissance they're just off like they're socially off like I think he thinks this is cool and it's like you're not

since you're a teenager it's like Justin Bieber I mean I said all these things I'm like there's no way LeBron can be normal I don't even blame him but it's weird I'm not saying it's not weird like I didn't watch that and I wasn't like oh damn LeBron's the man I was like what is LeBron I understand why people think that it's a little bit cringeworthy yeah it's not weird. I didn't watch that and I wasn't like, oh damn, LeBron's the man. I was like, what is LeBron doing?

I understand why people think that it's a little bit cringeworthy. Yeah, it's so cringeworthy. The whole idea of it just being like, I mean, he should just be sitting down and acting normal. It's like LeBron James is not normal. He's not a normal parent. He plays by different rules. And by the way, the kids don't seem to care. The kids are not going to care.

It's not about the kids. They're 14 years old. They love this shit. Here's what I think though. It's not. If LeBron does. What I care. It's not about the kids. They're 14 years old. They love this shit. Here's what I think though. What I'm talking about is not about the kids. I'm talking about being a normal adult in the adult world. I don't care that the 14 year old kids think it's cool.

I'm talking about if I'm in the crowd as an adult, not even as a parent. I don't care about that. As an adult who's like, should I go run in there with the children or should I stay out here? I think I would stay out here. Even if I was famous, I wouldn't care about that. Like as an adult who's like, should I go run in there with the children or should I stay out here? I think I would stay out here. Even if I was famous, I wouldn't do that. But you don't know.

Like he has never lived a normal life. It's like any time the child starts, like Justin Bieber or anybody does these things. Then we can just agree it's weird. Yeah, but he is allowed to do it every once in a while. I know. We keep talking circles. It's weird. The weird part was going on the court.

If he's doing all that shit by the seats or whatever, like Drake does. Drake doesn't go out on the court. Well, sometimes he does. But if he's doing that and then the kid runs up to the court. When Drake did it, everyone was like,

this is fucking ridiculous. Drake's a rapper. Yeah, you can't go out on the court. It's not a basketball player. You sat here and said he can play by the same, different rules because he's Drake. I mean, yeah.

Now there's even different rules? Well, yeah. I think that there is. I think because if Drake shows up at a random ass rap concert and makes his way on the stage and start typing no one's gonna care they're like he's one of the greatest rappers in the game he can come out and do that LeBron James it's his son it's not his son but I mean I mean he's doing the same thing with his son he's doing the same thing with I know and that so that would it would be a little bit even I would even give him a little more slack if it was his kid. It's not even his kid.

Where does it stop, Jared? You know where it would stop? If he walked out there and smoked the ref in the face or tried to... It doesn't have to all be positive versus negative. At some point, you just have to fucking... Did you offer him a comparison?

Yeah. We've talked about this in circles. If Doc Gooden dapped you up in a high school baseball game, you'd be like, fuck that. I'm not talking about the kids. Yes, 14 year old kids are stupid and they love this shit. I'm talking

about the adults and being a normal adult. He's not normal, so let's agree it's weird behavior. I think it falls into line when you're acknowledging that he's being a normal adult. He's not normal. No. So let's agree. It's weird behavior. I think it falls into line when you're acknowledging that he's not a normal adult. It falls into line with his brand. I'm fine with saying that I don't expect him to be normal. Yeah.

I expect him to be like, my thing was like, this is not even cool. This is weird. I don't think he's trying to be cool. I'm jumping around like a goof. It's like, he almost wants to be a 14 year old kid. I don't think he's trying. This is jumping around like a goof it's like he almost wants to be a 14 year old kid i don't think he's trying fucking weird that's the jason

whitlock which i know like we've been not that we're taking everything he says seriously but i did like jason whitlock saying he is now using his fame to such a high degree that the addiction to his fame is worse than the addiction to cocaine i don't look at what lebron james is doing at these aegams not even just talking about the other kid dunking i'm'm talking about in the layup line, him celebrating when Bronny does dunk. I don't think he's doing that because he's so famous. I don't think he's sitting back going, you know what? I'm going to do this because I can. I kind of do.

No, I think he knows he can, but I think that he's legitimately celebrating. He always sits there. I think he's celebrating, but I think— He knows he can get away with it. Rowan said it best on the rundown. You never know with LeBron where the line is, where if it's genuine or if it's – because everything about him is manufactured. He has this brand. He has this empire.

He always is doing Taco Tuesdays. I love it. All the weird things I think are very contrived. It feels very – like I'm supposed to be famous. That's part of it. I'm here like i think he walks in the gym and he's like i'm lebron and i need to do something lebron-esque so that these kids like remember it when it's like you don't always have to do that i have a question for you

then kevin would you rather your you can only pick one end of the spectrum here would you rather your athletes be like lebron who are outgoing and they say things and they do things in clips that go viral? Or would you rather all of your athletes be like Derek Jeter who are robots that didn't do or say anything that was interesting? If we're talking that, I want the more interesting athlete. If we're talking about how I think people should just behave in society, I would take Derek jeter but like my mantra is be normal it's a sports world though like i don't think it is more people to be like derrick jeter in like an office setting but in professional i think at like a kid's event i think i want more derrick jeter and like i know a the other thing that people are coming at me i'm like your cracker ass has never been at an aau game and you don't

know how like relaxed it is i do i understand all that i get it i know that it's almost like a summer league vibe but there's a reason why we're talking about this because it went so far the other direction with shoes coming off and and flailing around that it was like it's this is not just par for the course aau behavior because it's work i mean we're talking we're on day two of it now so obviously it went to a place that's even beyond the AAU spectrum. And again, I'm talking more in the crowd. If I was there, if I was a parent, if I'm an adult next to him, I don't, I'm not going to like start a fight.

I'm not going to like, I said yesterday, I know LeBron is like one of the best humans to ever live. He's like done more for the world than like some politicians. And, you know, I'm saying if that was me at that game and when i saw it on the video my first reaction was like you're a weird dude that was weird and that's fair like if you were doing that i'd be like rocket like yeah really yeah no i agree calm down i agree and i know that if you were lebron maybe i wouldn't say that because i'm used to blah blah but i I'm saying X-Factors that he did it on the court if you do that by your seat and it's like I'm celebrating

but I'm not going into your space like this is your game fine with that love it totally okay with that the shoe coming off was almost like more of an unfortunate like he was like oh fuck I don't think he wanted to do that how did he throw his shoe onto the court

but then I almost, the weirdest part for me, look at me. Yeah. And then, and then the shoe comes off and he's like, oh shit. And then the weirdest part is the jumping around,

coming off the field, off the court. I'm like, that was just a weird instinct for me to like, to think that LeBron was like, okay, now I'm going to like jump around like a weirdo that it's just not, it's just, to me, that would be like,

I got a dickhead. That's what I think. That was my gut reaction of like, that guy's being a fucking asshole. Yeah. Cause there is a connotation of like going on athletes, uh, like,

uh, parents at their kids games. And I know he's not the normal parent, but you still are going into that setting and you're going to have some of the normal rules and normal're going to have some of the normal rules and normal expectations applied to you. And when you do something so outside the norm, I can understand. I know the rules are different for everybody. I know AU is different. I know that the kids love it. I know all those things. I'm saying from my reaction point of view,

and I think any normal adjusted parent or adult that they would go like, well, I wouldn't do that. Like, I really, I really don't think if I was, if I was that famous, I don't think I'd ever do it. And I do think that part of him is like, I need to do,

I'm going to go on the layup line. Cause they want this and they need to see LeBron. I need to leave an impression. They need, I, and I think it actually, I think he's so famous. It comes from a good place.

Like, he's not like, I'm the fucking man. I need to like do something cool. So I feel cool. It's like, they expect it. He's not like, I'm the fucking man. I need to do something cool so I feel cool. I'm here. People know that I'm here. When are we getting the LeBron part of the show?

Yes, he feels pressure to be LeBron on the court and win all these championships by himself, bring it home to Cleveland, bring it home, blah, blah, blah. He has that expectation

and now it's become a thing where he needs to do weird shit. I think he feels he needs to do that. I think it would be totally fine if he was just in the fucking, if he was just in the stands. I think it would be totally fine if he was just in the fucking if he was just in the stands i think that would be a story like look at him the other people being like he's supporting his son like he didn't have a father all that shit

if he was just sitting in the crowd and or even getting hyped in the crowd yeah people would be like he's a great dad supporting his kid i don't need to take it that far to support your son jared made a good point though like if his personality wasn't so flashy and he was doing this, then it would look more contrived. This to me doesn't surprise me. But I think it's been contrived the whole time. I don't think it's ever been natural. I don't think that his parent, I mean, I don't know. I don't know him personally, but I don't think that his wanting to be that dad for his kid

is contrived. You know what else I was thinking of? Is when we do the most minimal shit that gets like breaking down and just like dissected by our audience and it's just like it was just a small blip on our day's radar. Yeah. That's probably how he feels about this right now. Right.

That was 45 seconds out of my day where I was at my kid's game and now I'm talking about it on national. He probably went to Space Jam over here and he went back to the Lakers over there. Tom Brady's same way. Like the whole like cliffumping thing with Vivian. That was just me on vacation. But everybody just assumed he was a bad dad. It's like trying to put people's parenting skills into what they're doing because they're so uber-famous. And it's just like LeBron's really like, my kids, they came over to his house afterwards, I bet.

I bet they're all like, hey, that was really cool. We're on Ball is Life. That kid's gone viral. Everybody's seen his dunk. They're probably so cool with it. And we're the assholes. He's laughing all the way to the bank again. And we're sitting here on a Tuesday.

That's like, in our world, that was my tweet yesterday. Coley texted me. He's like, Jason Tatum just zapped you, bro. And I was over. I went up to Rathbones last night. And I was having a beer and a burger. And I was like, that's just 45 seconds out of my day. Whatever, Jason Tatum.

I wonder how Jason Tatum found your tweet. Does he follow you? No, but at that point, it was pretty viral. I love that the Boston Celtics are just sitting there like, fuck this Kevin Clancy guy. The Boston Celtics supporting and defending the Lakers. Never thought I'd see the day. Never thought I'd see the day.

Let's take some calls because everybody got an opinion on this one kyle from texas what do you got hey kfc thanks for uh having me on the show first of all before i say this gotta give a shout out to casey giga maggies i go to texas a&m that's what's up um yeah there you go uh so okay here's my take. I'm really kind of trying to connect all possible dots right here. This is a pretty hot take. But, like, now we're – LeBron not being in the playoffs, I really think has kind of started all this, like, attention stuff with, you know, the Taco Tuesday stuff, you know, like this stuff.

I mean, LeBron knows the cameras are following him. Let's not act like he doesn't know what's going on. I mean, let's be real. I've been to AAU games. I mean, yeah, people get pretty excited, but, you know, that stuff, that's ridiculous. That's what I'm saying. There's just a line.

And, like, it's not, again, it's not that huge of a deal, but, you know, it's what we do here. We break down LeBron's fucking, you know, cringeworthy behavior. We've been doing it for 10 years. We'll probably do it for 10 more because the dude's never going to retire and never going to stop with his like cringey shit. So it's fine one way or the other. It's now becoming,

you know, racial, it's becoming personal, it's family, it's digging up all my cheating shit. It's bad parenting. And I'm like, this is not even about parenting to me.

It's about like normal social behavior. That's actually always been the most fascinating thing to me about LeBron. And like I say with A-Rod, these guys, when they get so big, they're not normal. And I don't think they can be normal. And I think this was one of his worst examples of like, you just, you reduce your weirdo. I didn't either. I really didn't think it was that egregious, especially because like, if this, the celebration antics, I'm saying like, give it the, the environment, right?

If it's a, if it's his son's high school game and he wouldn't do it there, then I know that's what I'm saying. He did it there. I'm with you. I'm like, what the fuck are you doing? I know all these kids don't make it. And that's why, but again,. I'm with you. Right. What the fuck are you doing? I know all these kids don't make and that's why. But again,

so I'm not. It's not even about the kids. It's not about him as a parent. It's not about him as a parent. And it's not like I'm worried that he interrupted the last like two minutes of the AAU game.

Tuesday. Today's Tuesday. Today's a little way to fucking Tuesday. It's a little way to do that. I don't care how he parents. He's aucking Tuesday. I don't care how he parents. He's a good parent.

I don't care that he interrupted the game. Like it's an AAU game. It's not that big of a deal. He was being extra. He's just being a social weirdo. If he was doing something equivalent at a bar, at a party, at a whatever, I would be like, you just, in the moment, you always act weird. I think you made the best point, though.

Your instincts go like the wrong way. The best point made here is that I think he does feel obligated to do something when he's in a public place. Yeah, because he's a fucking crazy narcissist. I don't even think it's that. Like, when you're the best basketball player on planet Earth. I think it's, like, a wholesome narcissism. But, like, all right, AAU. Like, when I played AAU baseball, like, I'm not playing against the best fucking players in the world.

But you have to figure like the talent pool here is pretty damn good if it's LeBron's kid playing. And the parents that are there, I'm sure that there were people that heard LeBron was going to be there and just came to see LeBron. So he figured I'm going to do something so that like, all right, hey, I'm putting on a fucking 45 second show and then I'll dip back into obscurity and just watch the game. Can you imagine

how people in the NBA- And that's pretty narcissistic. I think it's just like, just sit there and fucking watch the game. It's only narcissistic when you're like, LeBron's here.

LeBron's putting on a show and then everyone's like, what the fuck? But when everyone there is like, we want to see that. And I do think that's why I called

a wholesome narcissism where he's like, I think the people, he has an obligation. You don there is like we want to see that and i do think that's why i called like a wholesome narcissism where he's like i think the people he has an obligation you don't think they didn't want to see lebron do something they do and i think the reason he's doing it is because he just wants to make them happy not like a i am the man and i need this he's like you need this but he also he's definitely definitely the man but you don't have to be the man at like every single second to the point that there's a reason why half the Internet is like, that was a bit much. It's like people buy tickets for opposing NBA teams just because they know at the time, obviously, like when he was in Cleveland or Miami or whatever, like they know LeBron James is even going to be in the building. They go just to see him. Can you imagine just like an AAU crowd? Like, not only are we going to be able to see LeBron, he's going to be like one of us. He's going to be sitting in the building, they go just to see him. Can you imagine just like an AAU crowd? Like not only are we going to be able to see LeBron,

he's going to be like one of us. He's going to be sitting in the crowd. It's a completely different vibe than if one of us showed up. Okay. We don't really care. Like LeBron is there because he is the best basketball player on the planet. He should be there to watch Browning Jr. Play because he's a good dad.

He's there for the LeBron James brand. Because at all times, he's just thinking about himself. It is. It's two birds with one stone. He's a good dad. But he's there for the LeBron James brand. Because at all times, he's just thinking about himself. It is. It's two birds with one stone. He's a career dad. He's thinking about himself. He wants his own shine. I don't think that's true.

Could you imagine how uncomfortable I'm going to be if my son grows up to be like a fucking stone. Yeah, I mean, no fucking, no surprise that the Rocket is okay with this behavior. You're going to do this. I'm going to do this. You're going to pick up, your kid's going to bat flip and you're going to pick up the bat and double bat flip. I don't even have kids, and I went to Saugus High's fucking playoff game this year. We were like, they got into a fight at the end of the game, and I was going nuts.

I would have been really upset if Jared took the other side of this, because I thought about that yesterday when we were on this. I was like, Jared and I don't agree on a lot. We agree on this i was like god jared and i don't agree on a lot we agree on this i there was no chance the saugus rocket was not going to be down with making a spectacle at a children's event okay of course chris what do you got no i a thousand percent agree with you kfc lebron did it because he knew that everyone was going to be looking at him and he had to do something to put on a show. He is a narcissist. If it was any other dad, he would have been like...

You can't do the any other dad thing. It's like he's not any other dad. Shut up. We're all in agreement that he doesn't have to play by the same rules, but... And that's fine. But you have to acknowledge that he is almost breaking the social rule of how to

behave as an adult but the you can't the any other dad any other parent argument is so tired because he's just not i will agree with you you can think it's cringeworthy you can think all that you can think it's super extra and he's a narcissist stop with the every other parent would get kicked out or every other parent wouldn't act like this every other parent is not in a conversation on a daily basis with Michael Jordan as a best basketball player of all time. Yes, right. Tim from New Hampshire. Yeah,

so the way I look at it, it's like he's showboating in front of a 14-year-old kid on the other team. You know, it's like... I would be delighted to be posterized by lebron james like if i was the kid on the other team and and like lebron's kid fucking dunked on me i'd be like yeah that's pretty fucking cool lebron james showboating stop the presses i can't believe

lebron james i think what weirds me out the most is and and this is like i have no way of knowing this it's and i don't know lebron james personally i get the vibe that he almost like he wants like the 14 year old kids like think he's cool it's like it's almost like i think he needs to i think he wants to be like yeah those kids like me it's like yeah dude they're you're you're lebron james you don't need to again like you don't need to do that i think he's like you know brian jr's best friend is gonna like think i'm the cool dad by like me jumping around it's like you're good dude relax do you think that everything needs to be the parent thing though because i know everybody keeps going back to that like his dad wasn't around and whatever else that it's like not only does he want to be super active with his kid but it's also like well he can also provide this entertainment and this

cool thing for his kids. Yeah. And that's where I'm like, it's like I'm saying they probably all like, you know, maybe you want to be like the neighborhood dad for all good, man. This is just getting weird. It's like maybe and maybe it's all at the end of the day coming from a great place. Maybe it all ends up being a great thing. There are plenty of times where i'm like i just yeah like i i just want to do that like i i don't need to i'm all good you know everything that we're saying all the points they can all be true that's like the three of us at least like the stuff on

the internet is crazy like the racism or any other parent or on the flip side where people like oh no he's just being a dad like well no but like everything that the three of us and when fights yesterday saying like they can all be true at the same time. It doesn't need to be like, you know, people are taking it. If you don't like him celebrating that, it's like an indictment of like his character. And then the other side is like if you if you do like a celebrating, you know, you there are no rules and anybody can do whatever they want. It's it's I mean, this is spiraled out of control. I tweeted hashtag let the kids shine, strive for greatness, and the joke is right over people's heads.

Like the kids are getting shined. Like they're going viral because – I know. Let the kids shine is – that's the rocket. That's not me. It's a joke. Somebody in the control room is out of control. Let's take a break. When we come back, we'll probably talk more about this.

Well, speaking of shutting it the fuck down, Feidelberg shut down his shirt yesterday. I saw the shirt. I didn't mind it. It was the worst shirt of all time. It's 100% polyester. It has 1,000 giraffes on it, three-quarter sleeves, no collar, half button-down, half not.

And John said Instagram. Tell them how much it cost. $15.19. $15.19. It took about 12 weeks to ship, 12 to 16 weeks from China. How often do you see an Instagram ad and think, I'm going to spend a little money here? Well, it's hit or miss sometimes.

It's so targeted, you know? It's exactly like the shirt I've been wearing. And in the smaller – In a little JPEG, it looks like a different shirt i've been wearing and like in the smaller in a little jpeg it looks like a different shirt i'll give him that like it looked like a red white and blue like it looked not that bad and then he gets it and john said he said i think this shirt is so bad it might be racist and za was also out yesterday oh my so uh he came in today and i and we said za you've seen this shirt. And he had not at all.

So I said, go back there, take a look, and weigh in. And John, he starts cackling during the break. And Zob, tell him. I mean, if you're going to go, if you're going to go. I mean, I'm not a big cultural appropriation guy, but that shit is so bad. If you're going to go fucking remote, the African, go all the way, man. You can't go. What kind of colors was that? I don't know. Then they throw it on like a goddamn polo red white and blue like american polo but with all

the african stuff red white and blue african like it makes it just makes no sense you're right it's so bad it's racist when i when i opened the bag of that shirt it's when so you know it's even better? He said he didn't know that there were giraffes on it when he bought it. Oh, wait. What do you think it was? No, I'll show you the design. In the picture, like in the JPEG, the three-quarter sleeves are rolled up.

So it looks like a regular short-sleeve button-down. And the giraffes are much, much smaller. They are. It just looks kind of like a weird design. But when you – A thousand giraffes. We added it up. It's probably over a thousand giraffes are much, much smaller. It just looks kind of like a weird design. But when you – We added it up. It's probably over 1,000 giraffes printed on there. Over 1,000 giraffes.

And little baby sticks. I mean, credit to you for still wearing it after you looked at it. I mean, more for – But here's also the deal. I don't know if you've seen this, but someone watching Gold this morning screenshotted it to me and sent it, and they were like, are we going to pretend you're not pulling it off? I look awesome in this picture.

Are we going to pretend you're not pulling it off? I mean, not because of the shirt, bro. The shirt still sucks. I mean, I'm pulling that shirt off in that picture. Yeah, you look good. The shirt still looks like trash. Yesterday you said, I'm not going to get talked into this. I'm not going to be tricked into it

You had the sleeves rolled The sleeves look a little bit better rolled Because they don't hit your mid forearm Like my nine year old grandmother I couldn't even button it on the forearm It didn't fit Because it's a woman's blouse So Zah we were saying

It bizarrely for some reason has three quarter length sleeves Which the thing might fit you perfectly Maybe it could be yours. No, no, no, no. That thing looks so bad. I ain't even going to try it. Put it this way, Zah. Devlin claimed it.

He was like, this shit's pretty fire. Can I have it? Broan liked it too. Broan said he stopped someone. He saw me walking by and stopped someone else. Broan said he went to – this is another good question, Zah. He said he went to an Ethiopian wedding last month. Did you see that? Yeah, I saw that. He went to a traditional and he tried to this is another good question he said he went to an Ethiopian wedding like last month

did you see that yeah he went to like a traditional and he tried to dress it up he was like that would have been perfect no I was like

I don't think it would have been that's a polo shirt right yeah from what I saw I think it's highly offensive man I think he saw I think he saw the prints and he thought that was

you can't just you can't just slap a giraffe on it and be like hey I'm African now you can't just paint it giraffe on it and be like, hey, I'm African now. You can't just paint it red. I mean a giraffe isn't red. You got to give it like an earthy color. Are you into African prints? Because if you are, if that's what you're looking for, I mean I'll look for something decent for you because you can't be wearing that.

Tell you what. I don't know. Ja, let me ask you another question. What's the appropriate answer there? There's a white guy going, I don't want any African prints. Probably no. It's only appropriation if you butcher it. If you get it right, then you're cool, man.

You're cool. You're celebrating culture. Hey, answer that question and come join me as a racist on Twitter. So you look African stuff. That's the biggest fucking mind melter I've ever been handed. I don't know what to say. Hold on. How is it offensive?

I think I am. I just don't know if I'm allowed to be. I did the same thing. I did the same thing. A literal showstopper just walked by. The show halted. And, of course, who was walking her around? Gaz is providing the tour.

Gaz holding her hand. What a fucking scumbag. But like for real, who was that? And did she have a ring on her finger? So, yeah, you're a racist, John. You're a racist with ugly shirts, and I'm a racist and a bad dad. KFC Radio's out today. How does cultural appropriation work?

If you get it wrong, is that when you're culturally – because that's how I feel. I've also thought – If you try to do something and you get it wrong, then okay, maybe you can take offense. But if you like, for example, if I gift you a Toshiki shirt to wear around to celebrate my culture, how the fuck is that offensive? I don't think I'm allowed to. Good luck running around going, my black friend gave it to me. That's not going to work either. I don't get – I've never got – cultural gave it to me. That's not going to work either. I don't get it.

I've never got it. Cultural appropriation to me is like, if you're against cultural appropriation, you're pro-segregation. Yeah. It's like, no, I can't listen to your music. I can't eat your food. I'm going to go do white things. You go do black things. You go do Dominican things.

Whatever happened to the melting pot, bro? How come I can't wear a tshiki and listen to rap music? What the fuck? If it fights as cultural appropriating, you can't eat tacos. How about that? Right, exactly. We culturally appropriated the fuck out of pizza. Everything.

Nothing from America is original. It's all immigrants. It's normally clothing now, though, right? It's like the girl who went to prom and wore the Asian – The kimono. Yeah, like that was a big deal. That poor girl. But eating Chinese food is fine.

I just thought it was a pretty dress. I'm sorry, guys. Yeah. But what's wrong with me wearing something? I don't know. That's what I'm saying. That's normally where people claim that is. I think what usually happens is like white people will take your music and we profit off it.

And you'll be like, yo, like we, you know, we never saw a dime off of this. Like for years, our culture was making this. And then as soon as white people do it, it's like monetized and, and,

and all that shit. I think that's where people get mad. And that's a little more understandable, but then it also just gets, you know, taken way too far where it's like, I can't even. But those people never get in trouble for it.

It's always just like the person on Twitter who like, I just like this dress. Exactly. Who wore a prom dress. Exactly. She's like, i'm not profiting off of this i didn't like steal your business or your culture i have 60 followers they're all in my spanish class i don't know how the fuck i went viral with this kimono dress don't you think that it's normally that culture appropriation outrage is for some sort of outfit or hairstyle yeah i think it's usually clothes a hairstyle big time. If I go get cornrows

or do dreadlocks or something like that. It's like, what is... I mean, I'll tell you what the harm is. You look like a fucking dummy if you're a white guy with cornrows, but it's not like maliciously racist. I had cornrows luckily before. What, are we going to go to Bronson and Royal here? Yeah, Bronson and Royal won a fucking championship. Yeah, he went and got them

because of that. You had them? I had them for... What game did he start? He started game six. And guess what? You look like a condom. He went and got them because of that. You had them? I had them for... What game did he start? He started game six. And guess what? You look like a fucking dummy. He didn't start it, but he came out of the bullpen. That was the A-Rod slap game. Right, right, right. I had corners for that game. Jada Diamond gave them to me. That was her real name

in high school. That's a porn star. Jada Diamond. That was her real name? I think so. At least that's what her belt said what that's racist i swear to god she had a she wore a belt every single day it's a jada diamond but uh but she she did him for me but it was uh i get if i if that picture went out now of like me and cornrows i think i would not have a good time on Twitter. No, you wouldn't, man. I mean, you can't do anything. You just got to go be a white guy.

Which I thrive at. I'm pretty good at it. We crush being white. We crush it. You guys got the short end of the stick, man. You can't do anything. White literally does. It's tough out here for white men.

It is tough out here for white men. We are pretty persecuted. Let me tell you something. Did you give that shirt to Devlin yet? I know it's sitting on my desk. I have us expecting him to give it to me. I want to fucking burn it. I know what it feels like to order something randomly off the internet, wear it once, and get ridiculed by the entire office and never wear it again.

Remember I wore that sweater that looked like a ribbed condom? Yeah, it looked ribbed. Oh, that was a disaster. But that's the thing. It's like sometimes youbed condom. Yeah, it looked ribbed. Oh, that was a disaster. Yeah, I never wore that again. But that's the thing. It's like sometimes you get got by Instagram, and it looks great to you. I still think that the ribbed condom sweater looks good. Right, so sometimes you open it up, and you're like, oh, no, this is a disaster.

Sometimes you open it up, and you're like, you know what? This is kind of fly. Yeah, I think it looks good. Keep wearing it. Or be normal and just don't wear it again. No. If I think I look good in something, I keep wearing it. I do not think I look good in that shirt, so I'm not going to keep wearing it.

But what happened to you yesterday? I'm not going to let you fucking put things you don't want to dress into what's how I'm dressing. He got worried that people were going to take it seriously because this is what Fights does, and that's exactly what happened. Everyone was like, oh, I guess Fights thinks that's a cool shirt. Erica walked by and was fiction. A lot of people came up and said something.

My first spin through the office, I made people look at me. You got a lot of eyes. people, a lot of people came up and said something. My first spin through the office You got a lot of eyes. You got a lot of looks. I told you, I almost didn't say anything to you because I was concerned. I was like, if I say something I'm going to be a real asshole. If I wore that, people would be like that's a costume that you're wearing for a video. Fights, it was kind of like

wait a second, I don't know what's going on here. You know, talking about Roan, I feel like if Roan wore that, it would look so good. It's so annoying. He's one of those guys. He can do know what's going on here. You're talking about Roan? I feel like if Roan wore that, it would look so good. It's so annoying. He's one of those guys. He'd be like, that's the coolest shirt I've ever seen.

He can do anything. He can wear anything. I can't do anything different. You're doing a whole different thing now. I guess, but it's more me. I couldn't branch out. No.

You got to stay in your lane. And you know. It's like when you're a kid dressing for school. Sometimes you know, you're walking into the office and you're like, this shirt's a little bit weird. I know. It's like when you're a kid dressing for school. Sometimes you're walking into the office and you're like, this shirt's a little bit weird. I know. It's going to go one way or the other. I'm going to get made fun of or someone's going to go,

oh, that's pretty dope. Who was it? Joe Manganiello or something. Yeah, I think it was. In probably fourth grade or something like that. It wasn't Joey McIntyre. It was Jordan McKnight. It was one of those two.

But they had a music video where they were at a uh like a like a carnival or something like that and jordan mcknight or joey mcintyre whichever one it was is wearing a sweater vest with nothing under it oh no and i showed up to school the next day in one of those and that was the worst day of school in my entire life i was just and it was like what do know, you get dropped off at elementary school. You ain't going home. I got nothing else to change into. So I'm just like –

Were they mean to you? Were they mean to you? Sweater vest, nothing. Bare skin under that. It was a rough day. I'm going to cry. So sometimes, John, you got to fall in line a little bit, right? The ribbed sweater, maybe you pull it off.

The sleeveless sweater vest, I don't think so. Yeah, but how old were you? You said third grade? How great is that? Like nine-year-old John just getting bullied, crying in the corner with no sleeves. He wouldn't even let me play tag that day. Casey's gonna start crying.

Casey's gonna cry. Casey's literally tearing. Every now and then we're reminded that Casey is in fact a female with emotions. This is one of a bullet. Casey's literally tearing. Every now and then we're reminded that Casey is, in fact, a female with emotions. This is one of those moments. She's crying. I was literally just standing trying to hide all recess. What are your best friends? Do they even shun you for the day?

What does it associate with me? You know how bad it is when your friends aren't even making fun of you? They're just like, not today. Right. Not today, dude. We don't know that guy. Try again tomorrow. Yeah, try again tomorrow. We don't even making fun of you they're just like not today right not today dude we don't know that guy try again tomorrow yeah try again tomorrow you don't know that guy jaycee's weeping that is one of the sadder stories i've ever fucking heard there was like a uh like electrical box behind a fence and i was just always trying to get in the fence to hide behind

that's on your parents bro letting you go to school like that is just... I'm so sorry. You know, your dad was probably like, well, John Henry's going to learn a lesson today. He's going to come home a better man. Life lesson coming in hot for my boy. My parents, they let me dress however I wanted. I was like...

Frank is fine. You still do that? Sure, go ahead. Oh, did you? Did you see that video? I didn't. What'd you do to Luke Voigt, that big fucking goomba? I hate that guy.

I just went up to him. I was like, I thought you guys were savages. What happened to being sav I didn't. What'd you do to Luke Voigt, that big fucking goomba? I hate that guy. I just went up to him. I was like, I thought you guys were savages. What happened to being savages last night? What do you say? I was like, yeah, you guys got the best of us last night. Jesus. I hate Luke Voigt with every ounce of my being. I love him.

And I will try to minimize and diminish all that he can do at every turn, but him taking a fastball to the face and not even flinching, I was like, that was fucking savage. I don't know about the rest of them. I don't think savages is really the term I actually would use to describe the Yankees. Luke Voigt is a fucking caveman savage. He's also like, he's a teddy bear too.

For as big as he is, he's a sweetheart. And also, Luke, no one's ever going to forget that haircut, bro. That was the worst haircut of all time. That was tough. That was the worst haircut that has ever existed. Speaking of savages, I saw a Twitter video today of you telling Willie Colom that you will pay him his $1,000 however you see fit. And what is that going to be? I thought you were going to finish my sentence.

I said if you don't like that, then you can meet me outside. It's just. I'd beat the shit out of Willie. I don't know. I was not going to bring that up because I'm just not even addressing that. Yeah, I wouldn't either. It's between probably dimes and quarters right now. Oh, yeah?

No pennies? Why? I don't know. I feel like that's. Got to have a little bit of class. Yeah, that's petty. Pennies is petty. I'm not know. I feel like that's... Got to have a little bit of class. Yeah, that's petty. Pennies is petty. I'm not going to bring copper into the equation.

So I think, yeah, we'll probably... I'm thinking nickels. It's a nice metal. Got some good weight to it. It's pretty... It's shiny. Yeah. You know, like a penny.

They're good. Like a dime is hard to spin on the desktop. You know what I mean? Like a nickel, you can play with it. Yeah, and it's almost like an homage to Willie because nickel is the thickest coin. Oh, for the thick boys. I would actually

do $999 in nickels and then a single bill. No, it's $1,000. I don't know if $100 is $1,000. $999? Did you say $999? No, $999. And I would do it when you're at the cashier, they put the bill out and then

they just drop all the coins into your hand. I would do that with $1,000 worth of nickels. How do you get that? See, the only thing that would deter me from doing that is that, like, you have to carry that many. And also, also, you're being an asshole to, like, the bank teller. Well, no, you could go to just different banks. You're pulling that person into this shit.

But you could go to different banks. Oh, that's where jobs work. You could take, like, $200 to one branch, $200 to the next. Even $ You're pulling that person into this shit. But you could go to different banks. You could take $200 to one branch. That's tough. Even $200 in nickels is a lot. There's no way that any bank is going to be like, you know what, I'll give you $1,000 in nickels. I don't know. Do they have to? Is that like a rule or something? It's their job. I don't think it's that hard for them because they're just rolls.

You're going to take out a roll. How many rolls? So how many nickels come in a roll? Do we know? I want to know how many rolls that would be Surely that's not hard to figure out I would guess it's like $10 in a roll or something like that

I would think it's $10 and quarters Yeah, so it's probably like $5 Willie's mistake was divulging that he was going to hand out the money to Yankee fans in the office before I paid him. If I was under the impression that I was just paying Willie, I would have just gave him like 10 hundos. But now you want Hubs to get like a thousand pennies.

Now that he's giving it out to other people, it's like, all right, yeah, you're really just going to hand out logs of coins to people. So 40 nickels are in a roll. Okay. Just saw 50. Well, 40, 50. nickels are in a roll okay so just saw 50 is that well 40 50 so that would be 25 rolls it's actually we gotta go pennies yeah long story short i thought it's me way more than yeah nickels is way too much yeah pennies pennies really suck yeah 25 logs is 100 bucks 25 uh uh logs 40 that doesn't seem right to me how many pennies are like one log is how many dollars if it's nickel oh right

right so maybe i did that wrong so so it'd be 250 no that can't be right so 40 so it's $2 per roll. So Nichols is okay. Nichols is pretty good. I think it must be $2.50. Am I really stupid right now? It wouldn't be 50 rolls. It'd be $100. It'd be

500 of them. I think you're right. It'd be 500 rolls. I'm thinking because Willie. It's going to be 500 rolls. No, I'm thinking, because Willie said he's going to get 100. So, like, how much would go to Hubs? How much would go? You got to ask the Yankee fans. You got to figure out.

Also, again, you get the rolls from the teller, but then you open the rolls. And then you give them singular. Yeah, so he's got to count it out. You got to give them like a plastic CVS bag. 500 rolls? We have to do this together then. I actually, Hubs at least, I would dump on his head. I would actually injure Hubs with losing my head.

So who all would get it? It'd be Hubs, Marty. Hubs, Tommy, Marty, Frankie. Willie's going to take his cut. He said the Yankee fans and my biggest enemies. So depending on the day, I might get it. Potentially. Sounds like White Sox Dave might get some.

Yeah, so we're definitely going pennies and we're not going rolls. You want to mail a fucking crate of pennies to Chicago, be my guest. You're going to cost $1,000 just to mail it. Yeah. We got a call here that's hopefully going to straighten us out for being idiots because this guy wants to talk about quarters and nickels, so I think he's got it figured out. What do you got, Erin?

So there are $2 in a roll of nickels, $5 in a roll of dimes, 50 cents in a roll of pennies. Oh, we got to go pennies. We got to go pennies. That's what's up. Thank you, Aaron. Are you a bank teller or something? You just know, like, numbers.

No, I'm just not a fucking idiot. No, I used to bartend all the time, so I used to have to roll my teeth. Oh, the worst. Remember, shout out to the good old days where you'd go to, like, Coinstar. Yeah. That was, like, in college. That was the fucking best, man. You had, like, $67 cash out of nowhere, and it's like, bam, I'm drinking for the weekend. Right. you'd go to like coin star yeah i was like in college that was the fucking best man you're like

67 cash out of nowhere and it's like bam i'm drinking for the weekend right now i can't even imagine using cash no i mean it the last yesterday i sat down with my buddy and it's like anything under a hundred dollars just doesn't even count anymore like we got we got dinner and shit it was like we split it it was like 45 bucks I was like, this didn't even happen. I looked at my Uber home rather than going to Grand Central, back downtown, taking it up. It was like $35. I was like, that's fake. I'll take an Uber.

Whatever. It's just crazy. There are so many times where I'll go out of my apartment for a half hour and come back and be like, I just spent $200. I'm like, oh, I need deodorant at CVS. I walk out with a $75 bill from the pharmacy. I'm like, what the fuck just happened? I don't know. Whatever. I needed all that shit, though need deodorant at CVS. I walk out with a $75 bill from the pharmacy. I'm like, what the fuck just happened? I don't know.

Whatever. I needed all that shit, though. No big deal. Fuck it. $100 is like giving an adult $100 is like giving a child a dollar. I know. It's bad. At least in this city.

I'm sure there are people in the middle of America who are scoffing at us, but around these parts, $100 goes fucking nowhere. Do we know how much we gave the bouncer on Saturday? No. I believe it was $20. That's what I heard. Rumor was $20. Why'd you need to pay a bouncer?

They were smuggling a bottle of liquor out of the club, out of the bar. You degenerate fucks. And it makes much more sense now. I think I said $20, but I actually have no idea. I'm picturing that we just started giving him hundreds now. You were there, Kevin? Not at this juncture. He was at Pop Punk, though. I was there, but

Mr. and Mrs. Clem were leaving, and I needed to get all the way back to Westchester. Pop Punk was awesome. It was great. Don't you play instruments? Yeah, I play bass. Bass. You just didn't get invited to the band? I don't think anyone knew that I played bass. Ooh. I told you, I was in a band

called the C-Cups back in the day such an asshole everything about you is just miraculously douchey I mean we're very good did you play like local gigs sort of thing or what

playing little divy bars so you're the guys we were talking with Frankie about the pop punk reaction he said that musician twitter is worse than golf twitter So you're the guys. We were talking with Frankie about the pop punk reaction. He said that musician Twitter is worse than golf Twitter. Which I can totally understand. As we branch out, we find more and more versions of Twitter that are really insufferable. Golf is pretty bad. Golf hardos really think that they are like Tiger.

What was that? Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones Twitter was brutal. I spent one day in Game of Thrones Twitter. I want to kill myself. That was insanity. Actually, there was a girl at Barcelona Ballpark who brought up Game of Stools to me, the podcast we did. And we started to talk about it.

And I started getting revved up again. And at one point, I literally stopped her. And I was like, I can't do this. It was like I had a dark past that I had sealed off. You know what I mean? I was like, I can't really have this. I will not allow myself. I'm already at the Mets game. I'm already freaking out. I can't do Game of Thrones season eight as well. I'm done. Andrew from Canada.

What do you got on fucking cursing? Hey guys, how you doing? What are you in an airplane? What is going on? Are you in a helicopter? What do you got? I got a funny story about my little two year old where at my parents' house, and my parents are pretty conservative, and my little girl's playing on the ground, and my mom goes, hey, sweetie, what are you doing? And she looks totally straight-faced, and my mama goes, I'm fucking dying here. And then my five-year-old, my mom goes, honey, you shouldn't say that. My five-year-old looks at my grandma

and goes, well, my dad always says it. He goes, where'd you fucking learn how to drive? What the fucking can I do? Kids cursing will never not be funny. Kids cursing will, it's like the universal hilarious.

Every time. Fire truck, like all the videos where kids are trying to say fire truck and never gets old. Did Keeks have one of those? I think it was like fucking cupcake. It sounded like he was saying or something like that. Yeah, he definitely had something that sounded like fuck recently and I was like, I've been waiting

for this moment for it to happen to my kid and I'm absolutely loving it right now. My famous one was – it wasn't that bad, but it was more funny how far I took it. I thought that a hammer was called the damn hammer because my dad was always like, give me the damn hammer. He was always fixing things on the hammer. He said it so often, I thought that was its name. I didn't say it one time. It was me the damn hammer. He was always fixing things on the house. He said it so often, I thought that was its name. I didn't say it one time. It was just the damn hammer.

That's how often. He never was not like, fucking give me the goddamn hammer. You were just saying the words right. Right, every single time. My sister, again, in the South, so much more conservative, my sister called our pastor a son of a bitch because of Back to the Future. Because I guess in Back to the Future, they say son of a bitch at some point back to the future because i guess in back to the future they say son of a bitch at some point and she did she walked right into church he's like

i don't remember my first like like when i cursed when i wasn't supposed to i don't think i ever had one i had a genius how's that say his words i had a friend i had a friend who like when we were at his house he like didn't like when I cursed we were in like I don't know second grade third grade

or something like that like when you first start cursing and he would be like shh like my mom might hear I was like your fucking mom's not here dude like

stop being a pussy and he was like come on don't curse I was like we can't be friends anymore because I'm going to have to pressure you into drinking and all sorts of shit if you're not even going to

curse. We used to just... We didn't even play... I didn't wear my sleeveless sweater. When you had friends? No. We didn't even play games at recess. We just stood in a circle and swore. Curse. That was our game. We rode our bikes

to the woods, looked at the porn, and said, fuck a lot. Almost like Kings when you keep doing like questions? Yeah. What do you got next? Bitch. Bitch. Shit.

Slit. Cunt. Why? I still can't do – I don't do the C-bomb and I don't do the T-bomb. I don't like the C-bomb. I don't like either of those. I like cunt now. I didn't –

You came around on it? Yeah. It was always – You know what it is? Because you think it's fancy and you're from like england they say it so much no i know what it was it was it's a tweet it's a joke tweet that it was like i love it was like it's something along the lines of i love cultural differences like in australia uh no in america they get offended when someone says cunt. In Australia we get offended when a school of children gets shot. I was like – I was like I'm going to start saying cunt because of this tweet.

It makes perfect sense. It's really not that bad. Yeah. Like for some reason I used to – honestly, that is really such a good tweet because if I turn on the news and I see another fucking shooting, I just keep on moving. And if someone says cunt, I go, ooh. Ooh, don't do that. But it does, there are still

certain words that just evoke a I don't say it often, but I'm just not scared to say it. Yeah, that's the thing. The people who let it fly, there's a time and a place. And you can't use it in a sexual manner no I've seen that I've heard that before

fuck my C I mean working at Barshley you hear literally everything that's still no matter what context it's still like makes you like pull back but that's also why you need words I think you need that I think you need a couple words that we don't overuse

every word on the internet is overused sociopath serial killer rent in my brain like all this shit so it all loses its meaning you hit someone with a c word and it still has that like oh you're not fucking around like you mean it you know if i say fuck you that could be hey fuck you that could mean like i want to kill you if i call you, you know that I really have a problem with you. We've got to have a certain agreed upon words. Because otherwise, how are you supposed to really express you're mad? That's definitely up there. That's probably when I use it.

I am careful to not use it. If I'm using it, I'm probably calling a guy one. Yeah, if you call a girl that. Not using their face, but just describing someone. I'm like, he's just such a fucking cunt. I try to make the T harder, too, which makes it almost. I literally just got chills listening to him do that. I hate that.

Conservative Casey's coming out. No, that's just the one word that just. What's the male equivalent? I don't think there is one. What can you call a guy that's like, you're really not fucking around? Rapist? I mean, yeah. Predator?

Yeah. He's a rapist. Oh, no, he was just dressed like a dick today. My bad. I was just trying to say something that would really hurt him. I don't think there is an equivalent. No, there really isn't. But I'm not even saying it just because I'm a female.

It's because guys don't act like that, you know? We're not as annoying as you girls are. Definitely not the case. I'm not saying it because I'm a girl. I don't like it. I just don't like, even him calling a guy, I just don't like the word. What do you, what's worse? Oh, no.

I'll do like a little ASMR. Oh, no. Serious X is going to fire us. Cunt. Ew. What? By far the C to fire us. Cunt. What? By far the C-bomb. The T-bomb I think is worse for me. The C is a lot more common now.

Because of shit like we just said. What about moist? That one doesn't bother me. Girls freak out about that. Moist and panties is one that gets girls. Mine is fester. We've talked gets girls. Mine is fester. We've talked about this. I hate fester.

What about pus? No. It's also how it's said in a sentence. Certain words that wouldn't bother me to stand alone, but in a certain sentence they would be gross. But fester is disgusting. It's by far the worst word. Well, that also makes you think of clusters that's what's going on

in your head like I remember there was in one of my health classes in high school there was a sentence that said festering STDs and I wanted to kill myself it evokes a feeling of bacteria and grossness and

dirtiness. But I don't feel like – moist, I don't understand why it bothers people. I think it makes people think of vaginas. I think sometimes people are a little turned off by vaginas. Well, let's see. I looked at this article. This is 11 gross-sounding words everyone hates to hear according to science. So let me see if science says why.

A recent study from Trinity University said that it's not the sound of the words themselves that makes you cringe. It's the association with bodily functions. So I think moist – So fester. They said moist cyst. I think – Again, it's how you use it. Moist is like, yeah, you're a discharge or some shit.

I hate when drinks are referred to as creamy. Like would you like – I don't know like creamy vodka that really bothers really so you because i if i get an espresso martini sometimes i'm like can you put some bellies in it like make it a little creamy yeah i don't like that wow but the word but the word creamy doesn't bother me but it's in that content like so it says the association and then it says that if a word contains phonetically abrasive letters like B, G, M, U, or O. So there is like some science according to an author, according to a university. T is not an abrasive sounding letter? Not according to this.

That's strange. I would think a T would be in there. So one, moist. But you're out on that. Yeah, it didn't bother me. Two, phlegm. No. Bites?

Anything? I am going to guess that you're not going to be even slightly affected by any of these. No. Three, ointment. No. But see, T's are very hard in that. Four, panties. Panties gets me.

No, doesn't bother me. When a girl calls them panties. Oh, I always call them panties. Yeah, what do you call them? Underwear? Dong, underwear. Oh, what kind of panties? Like if a girl is... I call it like... Oh, no always call them panties. Yeah, what do you call them? Underwear? Dong, underwear. What kind of panties? Like if a girl is...

I call it like... Oh, no. Casey's crazy eyebrows. Casey's like... No. I think that's the opposite effect on Casey. Casey's got going. Keep saying it, John.

Keep saying it. If a girl, if I'm like sexting and she's telling me about her underwear and she says panties instead, like I would much rather you say thong. Like much rather. Like wearing lace panties. Yeah, lace panties. Yeah, lace thong. But what if it's not a thong? What if it's like –

Fucking lie to me. Boy shorts or something. Call them boy shorts. Booty shorts. I think underwear – Everything else you're saying is a lie. I think that underwear sounds like dude. You're fucking watching The Bachelor.

You're not fingering yourself. Underwear is not sexy at all. You said my panties are wet. I think it works. I mean, again, beggars can't be choosers. I'm not going to make snot talk at me. You can fucking hit me with, you've got moist panties. I think that you're in the minority with that.

I don't think we are. So what do you think? I think that's going to be regional too. I think panties is kind of hot. Yeah. I think you're in the minority. I know. I was going to say,

I think panties, is the head a deepness? I think panties is kind of hot. Doc, keep going, baby. Talk dirty to me, Doc. I think panties is kind of hot. I don't think I'm going to be in the minority, but I think it's going to be closer to like 50-50, and I think I'm going to be the minority but I think it's going to be closer to like 50-50

and I think it's going to be a regional thing like I don't know what it is I don't know the regions but I think that's going to be one of those words where it's like if you're from these places you call them hannies if you're from these regions you call them underwear I do it I'm not usually doing it like sexy I'm usually doing it like choking around

exactly you can't just be out here throwing around panties all the time but I do think in certain instances I'm not usually doing it sexy. I'm usually joking around. Exactly. You can't just be out here throwing around panties all the time. But I do think in certain instances that it works. It's not cringeworthy. I think girls saying underwear is weird. I guess if you want somebody to just say thong, that's fine. But they're like, yeah, I'm wearing sexy underwear.

I think of in Seinfeld, he's like, what does he say? The panties your mother laid out for you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. The whole thing is just blah. in sign film he's like what's he saying like the panties your mother laid out for you yeah panties is another one everyone hates and perhaps for good reason as a writer from the atlantic said i heard several people refer to the word as infant infantile infantilizing them i can't say that word but you know what i'm talking about where you're making it into like a little kid thing no i don't even know what the fuck this word is. Lugibrious. No.

That's a word that nobody even fucking knows, so who cares? Curd. Curdle. No. I mean, I think a curdle. I don't really care. Yeah, I mean, it's whenever like if you take an Irish car bomb, which I know you're not supposed to say, but whatever, and then it curdles at the end.

Yeah, if you let it sit. This is just an impossible word. You can't say, apparently if you sayb on me, you're offending people. There's like one Irish guy and there's one Irish bartender who doesn't like it. That's what it is. It's an Irish Carb. Wait, for real? Yeah.

It references the IRA. People were saying, as the story goes, which I think is a fucking urban legend at this point. I don't think this happened because no one in Ireland or Irish people get offended ever. But they were like, what if I came over to America and there was a drink where you chugged two pints of beer and I said, give me the Twin Towers. Give me the 9-11. I don't think that's ever happened. I tweeted about – I've heard that multiple times.

I mean I wouldn't order an Irish Car Bomb in Ireland anyway. I wouldn't order an Irish Car Bomb now because I'm not 16 anymore. But the... They taste delicious. I don't care how old you are. I don't know. I guess if I was St. Patrick's Day, I'd get one. But I wouldn't do it in Ireland just because... Because you know now.

I can't imagine I'd be doing an Irish Car Bomb. That's fine, but if someone was like, hey, listen, man, for old time's sake, at St. Patrick's Day. Let's do it. Hey, John, go to the bar and order. What would you do? You'd say Irish Car Bomb. Yeah, I don't know how else you order.

All right. Can I get a shot of Guinness with a little bit of Bailey's and a little bit of, you know. I tweeted it during the Mayweather McGregor fight and I got like multiple people just being like that's so like insensitive and whatever. So then during the Southie parade – We did this on the radio once and someone was like, my grandfather died in a bomb. I'm like, well, I'm very sorry about that. But you're really the only person I've ever heard who's really had this much of a problem. Yeah, Southie parade, like we did an Irish car bomb flip cup like every hour or whatever. And I would just put – Irish car bomb.

ICB because I was worried I was going to offend people. I was like, what the fuck else do you call it? Yeah, that's the problem is that there really isn't a other version of it. Then again, a Feidelberg shirt fucking offended people. What do we expect, right? I'm still stunned. I had no idea. I ran around.

Actually, I had a couple like two weeks ago. Did you? Yeah, I didn't know. I didn't know it was offensive to you. I mean, you can still order them like that and nobody will blink. Yeah, I really think it's one or two examples or just a couple people in outrage culture. I don't think it's ever that bad. Somebody did call up though and said,

I was studying abroad and I got kicked out of a bar for saying it. Also, if someone ordered that, like a Twin Towers, I'd be like, that's a wild drink. There you go. And we're sitting in Manhattan, so that'll be $36. Rural. I suck at that word. It doesn't make me gross me out, but I have a lot of trouble saying it.

The rural juror. How about dollop? Nope. I actually like dollop. Slurp. Nope. Slurp doesn't gross me out, but I definitely think about sucking dick. You used that word earlier today.

I think about eating, like, freezies. Slurp, like, your ice cream? Yeah. No, like, the way they get, like, the frozen Cokes and at the bottom it's like... Slurp it up. I think of, like, slurp it up cum. Mucus. That's a pretty gross one.

I mean, most of these things are gross, but I don't find the word gross. And pulp. Nope. But pulp, most of these things are gross, but I don't find the word gross. And pulp. Nope. But pulp is gross. Pulp is gross. I'm a some pulp guy. Trent is a heavy pulp guy. I've never been more like, I think we have to break up as friends.

I can't trust you. He loves heavy pulp in his orange juice? He was like, I want to chew it. That elicited more of a response than any of those words just did. Yeah. Maybe we get that big, dumb, corn-fed idiot in here. We can do a little Bachelor and pulp talk. He was shaming me for – I know he's a big –

Well, then I'm back in on Trent. I mean I don't think you like dark chocolate either, right? I know you like dark chocolate. I love dark chocolate. He was – he's a big anti-dark chocolate guy. But – Well, no. You know what?

Even further, and I stand with trent on this we've talked about this many times there are a lot of things in this world that i think people like because they think they're supposed to like it like i i truly think that about some whiskeys and scotch and rye i'd agree with that it doesn't taste good but dark chocolate's not one of those um i actually think it tastes better i actually think it was like i always thought not true, and then like one day I was just bam. Well, you know what it is? I like dark chocolate. It's a quote-unquote acquired taste, which I refer to more as it's like you're old.

Like I think of it as unsweetened iced tea, dark chocolate, some whiskeys. Red wine. Wine. There are some things that you just like when you get older, your taste buds change or your like perspective or something changes. I've always liked dark chocolate more, and I've always liked unsweetened tea. So I don't know if I just like bitter better. When you get older, your taste buds change or your perspective or something changes. I've always liked dark chocolate more and I've always liked unsweetened tea. So I don't know if I just like bitter better.

I have no clue. But milk chocolate stinks. I'm on the verge of breaking up with you as a friend but also maybe not. Why? Well, I'm fully fleshing this out. It happened a couple days ago and now I'm just getting around to talking about it. You being a heavy pulp guy is a problem for our relationship. thought i was coming in here to talk bachelor we're gonna do that in a little bit but i but he sandbagged you correctly so i mean heavy pulp like john's a sump pulp guy i think that's pretty gross but i'll tolerate it

you know you go to a restaurant that thinks it's fancy they give you some and it's at the bottom you deal with it like heavy pulp i believe you said you something like you want to be able to chew it or i would love to be able to chew that pulp well i just by the way just go eat a fucking orange that's too much work you have to peel those things that's impossible uh no i can't even i don't know how to back it up other than to say that i like the feeling of pulp in my mouth it's just like you like dusty like i like feeling that thickness go down my throat. That orange vitamin C thickness going right down my gullet. I can feel it in my stomach. It reminds me – pulp reminds me –

Give me a little – he's going to get a pulp belly. Pulp reminds me of when you peel your sunburn and you just have like chunks of skin. Drop little flakes in there. I don't know. It's strainy. I've always liked it. You go. It gets like stuck in your straw.

I know. I'm trying to make it as gross to you as possible, but it's still appetizing to me. Do you drink it without a straw? Who's drinking anything with a straw past the age of eight? Orange juice with a straw? Yeah. What? That's why I don't understand all the straw hoopla. Orange juice with a straw? Yeah. What? I don't understand all the straw hoopla.

It's like just being an adult and just drinking out of the glass. Don't spill it all over your fucking self. If I'm ever... Oh, I got a paper straw. We'll drink oranges with a straw? Sender to Russia. Sender to Russia. I guess only if it has alcohol

in it, now that I'm thinking. Like an orange juice vodka. Yeah, I think I usually drink it with a straw. I throw all my straws out on any drink that I get. Me too. But don't you drink coffee? Ice coffee. Oh, that's true.

Ice coffee, I drink with a straw. Because I remember when everyone got mad about straws, I was like, you could get rid of all the straws in the world and I wouldn't care. And everyone pointed out I'm not a coffee drinker. Because I do think if you're like gulping your coffee or iced coffee, that would be weird. I guess that's true. I drink all of my cocktails unless it's like a martini glass. Like all of my cocktails are straws. Well, that's actually where the one like dumb, like archaic thing I stick to is that straws are for chicks.

That's fine. You're a fucking pussy if you drink out of a straw. That's for girls only. Oh, you're drinking a straw, I'll just suck a dick. Exactly. Anything phallic, get it out of a straw. That's for girls only. Oh, if you're drinking a straw, why don't you just suck a dick? Exactly. Anything phallic, get it out of my face. No, thank you. Except for the McDonald's straw, which is like sucking a dick, and it's thick, and it's big, and you get a gulp in your mouth.

You drink out of a McDonald's straw, you drink some Sprite out of a McDonald's straw, it's like sucking a lemon-lime dick. It's crazy. I mean, yeah, I use straws for coffee, but other than that, I just toss them out. Definitely not for orange juice. I mean, that was crazy. I know the commercials, like Tropicana, they stick a straw in the orange juice. That's what it reminded me of. I also don't drink orange

juice, hardly ever, unless it's in a mimosa. And you're definitely not drinking mimosa. I had a big fucking pint of it the other day and it was like, this is great, because it's just a cup of sugar. It's really terrible for me. I like how you think you're bringing orange juice back when it's one of the most popular breakfast drinks there is. I didn't bring it back. The other day I watched you at your desk take an Instagram story like, oh, yeah, I'm breaking the mold here.

Nope. I said shout out to orange juice. I have rediscovered it. Me. I. I'm not the Christopher Columbus of orange juice. Well, no, you are. He's a Native American.

That's true. Quickly, what do you think of the word panties? Doesn't bother me. Doesn't bother me. Regional. We need regional. I don't know. You keep saying regional.

We're all three from different regions. We're literally all three from different regions. Yeah. I'm very surprised by you. It's like City Island doesn't like panties. That's why I think you're the one who's out here. No, I think like Midwest and South would be like panties. I think Northeast, like coastal people are not going to say panties. I might be a bad test case because all those words like moist.

Yeah, we just went through the whole list. Yeah, yeah. None of those, they don't hit me in any way that makes me want to feel differently or anything. Yeah, these two don't surprise me. You surprise me as far as the panties go. I'm always surprised. That's why we still wear of those, they don't hit me in any way that makes me want to feel differently or anything. Yeah, these two don't surprise me. You surprise me as far as the panties go. I'm always surprised.

So you don't like it? He does like it. Everybody here, I think it's weird. Panties makes me think of like, I don't know. What's the word you think it does? Not you, but science.

What's that? What's the word it does? Yeah, I can't say that. Infantilized? I don't even know what word you're going for. Infantile? Infantilized. Infantilized. Infantilized. Yeah, that can't say that. Infantilized? I don't even know what word you're going for. Infantile? Infantilized.

Infantilized. Infantilized. That's the one. Which is kind of a gross word. I almost think of it the opposite. I think your grandma's going to call it panties. No. It's like girdle and panties go together in my mind.

No, my grandmother calls them underwear. Britches? Panties is an ideal, but it's not great. That's kind of my what would you rather it be called underwear like you in like a

sexy way if a girl was like I'm wearing sexy underwear yeah that's fine with me okay wait do people say sexy panties

yeah I was talking about it in like a when Todd dropped it we all fucking came that feels like an oxymoron to me that's what I'm saying it's when if you're

saying to me like you know my panties are wet I'd be like all all right, Mildred. Like, calm down. Yeah, you definitely are. All right, Maude. A girl can describe her underwear. I'm like, don't do that again.

You want to talk about your underwear, you can say whatever the fuck you want. Again, beggars can't be choosers. But if I am choosing, I ain't picking panties. Yeah, if I picture panties in my mind, they're huge granny panties. That's also a thing. Granny panties. Yeah. So that makes me think. Goes along with that. Not all that sexy not all that sexy keep that in mind casey next time trying to be

sexy for once you dumb bitch no i also don't i'm not throwing that around but i think the reason that they're called granny panties is because you're pointing out that they're not normal panties they're great right but now it's almost just like it's by association that was a decent argument thank you i bet i think it started that way. No, I don't. I think that it's – I think now the only time you're hearing panties is – the only time I'm hearing panties is usually associated with granny panties. No, it's differing. It's differing from a normal pair of panties.

Also, what's weird – And a granny pair of panties. Even if – You're struggling because you can't say the singular. You can't say panty. That's really weird. But you don't say – Like you just had to say like pair of pant –

Yeah, but you don't say pant. Pant. say like pair of pant yeah but you don't say pant you don't say pant you say panties panties panty like any i'm wearing panty i got a pair of panty on no no you can't you don't have a sing you don't have a singular pant even if you don't you're not like i'm gonna put on my pant but you should what were you just saying there you just did it there you had to like stuff in pair of panties because you were talking almost in a singular. You can't say panty. Yeah, but you can't – There are a lot of things that are singular.

Ugly panty. Again, it's your jeans. It's not a jean. A jean. That is weird by the way. Casey, another one. Because pants are – Go there again.

Like at least – it is weird. Like sneakers, there's two sneakers, right? It's like a pair of sneakers. Pants, it's actually just one thing. I know there's two legs, but it should be a pant. It's one fucking thing. You're already got two legs on panties. Right.

It's like a shirt has like two sleeves, but it's a singular. It's not shirts. Pants is kind of the whole thing. Dark chocolate, gross. Disgusting. Right? Whiskey, whiskey Dark chocolate. Gross. Disgusting. Whiskey. Whiskey. Gross.

Gross. Whiskey is an interesting one because people, it's incredible that people still pretend to like it. Amen. Not only pretend, like it's a huge thing. It's an agreed upon shot. We'll do shots of Warm Jameson because it's a party. I really think it's tied to some like men in the 60s.

Like when I watch Mad Men, i think it has carried on since then that people are like we are supposed to like this because it makes you some sort of masculine man but like i'm the least masculine guy there you're an alcoholic that's why you're out oh are you right like like for normal people i i want to like whiskey because i think there's a little bit of like and i don't usually let that shit influence me. But I think it's almost like subconscious that like it's cool. It's masculine. It's Don Draper.

And it's also easy. Like when people want to have a drink where you're at the bar, it's like, just give me some whiskey because it's like I don't want to drink espresso martini or I don't want wine right now because it's too hot or whatever it is. Whiskey is always kind of an easy like just give me a couple fingers of whiskey. So it's like there's a lot of reasons why people want to do it, and I don't think any of them are tasty. Well, and old fashions, too. I mean, are those – I can't stand – Does that have sugar in it?

Yeah, they usually put like a cube of sugar in it. But I feel like that's like a drink where it's like you're regal. You're a gentleman if you order like an old-fashioned. Anything you have to sip or take a shot of, that's like an indication that you want it to go down faster. I have to have a small amount of it. Yes. You know what I mean? Yes.

It's just not delicious if that's the way you have to consume it. If someone chugs a bottle of whiskey, everyone's like, oh my God, because it's fucking gross. Yes. And it's not going to fuck you up. Any alcohol you chug. Because they all taste bad. Because they all taste bad. And you drink them to get fucked up.

I did get shamed with my maker's bottle. I'll stick it around the mouth a little bit. Ew they all taste bad. And you drink them to get fucked up. I did get shamed with my maker's bottle. I'll swig it around the mouth a little bit. Ew, that's gross. Like all alcohol in my mind is you drink it to get drunk and you make it taste as best as you can.

Yes. But it doesn't taste good. No, I think you can do like vodka soda with lemon and lime and it tastes good. Nah, I'm only drinking that to get drunk.

It tastes the least worst in my mind. The least worst and it just burns. Do you think red wine tastes good? Like with cheese, with the meal. I don't drink red wine to get drunk. I drink it because I legitimately think it tastes good.

Yeah, that's the one thing that is a little more enjoyable because it warms you up. It feels like cozy. But again, it's not like the literal taste on my tongue. It's more like the – Even in that example, you're like, I got to eat cheese with it. Cheese is delicious. That's not me the literal taste yeah it's more like the even that example you're like i gotta eat cheese with it yeah not me i can drink but i can't like i can drink red wine by itself but it's not that good i like red wine it's like you know like i said it's like a the vibe sort of thing like winter you're by the fire whatever all that shit uh but i'm not like that would be the only thing that i think i'm kind and like then the espresso martini is like a

goddamn dessert you're putting Baileys into it. Sometimes they put fucking like chocolate syrup in there. So at that point, we're just turning it into a – Do you think there's any beer that tastes good? No, I don't – no. I think there's – All of that is like what can I tolerate the most while I poison my body? That's the point about all my life.

I mean I get that. I happen to like some of them. I wish, man. Same. I actually don't really like beers. Even – Beers, like I'll drink Bud Lights like all day if I'm like drinking all day. Yeah. But if I'm like – Oh, I definitely didn't. I actually don't really like beers. I'll drink Bud Lights all day if I'm drinking all day.

I definitely didn't get into craft beers. Sour beers are so good. That was disgusting. We had one the other day in Brooklyn. It was like lime juice with a little splash of beer. It goes back to being the bitter thing. It's exactly what it is. I just like bitter tasting beers.

I would drink Bud Lights too, but that's the most little amount of taste you can have in a beer. It's exactly what it is. I just like bitter tasting things. It's terrible. Bud Lights, I would drink Bud Lights too, but that's the little amount of taste you can have in a beer. It's basically water. I mean, their whole thing for a while was drinkability, which means we're just trying to make this taste like nothing. You can slam as many of these as you can and you won't taste it. Even in Crazy Stupid Love, when Ryan Gosling was teaching Steve Carell

like it's I think it's an old fashioned it's like whiskey is always kind of about being a guy and being cool and whiskey

that is what it is and actually that's funny it goes back to Mad Men because it's all about like marketing it's just like they package it that way and if you're drinking it

neat or on the rocks or whatever like nobody blinks if you see somebody in a movie pour like just a glass of vodka neat

you're like that's so bad but you don't think anything of whiskey what i can't believe is how much jameson became like the party shot where like girls who are not you know it's like yeah we'll all do warm whiskey and and jameson was my go-to shot for years and i don't like whiskey my friend that makes no sense i know i know. I have no clue why. But that was until I moved to New York and started doing tequila again because of gas. Jameson was always my go-to. And I don't drink whiskey.

Because it's just kind of like, I don't know. If I come back with a tray of Jameson, no one's going to be like, what? This is weird. It's just become accepted. But it's like the hardest job to do. No, I was the same way. I'm stunned we don't have the phone lines lighting up with hard-os at this point being like, what are you talking about? At one point,

I wrote a blog being anti-dark chocolate and whiskey in the same blog and I got shit on for months. You got rocked. Dark chocolate, I can tolerate, but I mean,

milk chocolate, poor life. Yeah, if I have a choice. I actually, I've gone, there was one stage where I liked both. I've gone,

I can't even eat, like I used to love Hershey Almond. It was like my favorite candy. I can't even have. I used to love Hershey Almond. It was my favorite candy. I can't even have that much milk chocolate anymore. There's a difference in Hershey's chocolate is the best. Because sometimes when milk chocolate is really light colored, I don't like that. That type of milk chocolate is too much.

The only milk chocolate. Like a Hershey chocolate, Hershey bar, Hershey kiss. That is the gold standard of chocolate. You can't eat milk chocolate anymore, John? Like a Hershey chocolate, Hershey bar, Hershey kiss. That is a fast goal right down the middle of chocolate. Yeah. You can't eat milk chocolate anymore, John? Like a Hershey bar you wouldn't eat? Like you wouldn't like that? I mean, if you gave me like a piece of one, yes.

But like the Hershey almonds I used to like, that's like, I'm only going to want one bite of that. So I just don't get it. The only thing I can do is Reese's Pieces with milk chocolate or just Reese's peanut butter. I just watched you eat milk chocolate at your desk. I had one little thing and I gave it back because I don't. Oh, okay. Yeah, I couldn't do it. I had like one little snap of the Hershey's milk chocolate and I was like, this isn't

any good. It's so good. Oh man, you put a Hershey bar in the freezer for me and I break them up and I just eat those little cube little rectangles. No, it's a, you know, we can't have anything written on our shirts. Well, or be prepared. It's got to say it on your shirt like this. The birthday of the Barstool de Bortes.

John has made a shirt that just says Barstool Sports loosely translated into Spanish. Are you serious? It's one of his dumbest ideas ever. That's a new shirt? It's not like for sale. I just had Welker make one. I am guaranteeing. Welker make one and send it to me because I thought it was funny.

So it says Tabarte de Barstool de Bortes. I think you're going to hit a bonus on this. I think when it's all said and done, especially the way you've rolled it out where it's not like buy this. It's just like this is what I like. I thought it was an old shirt. I've been staring

at your chest all show too. It looks like it's faded. It looks like you found this in Tijuana. It's just a stupid shirt that people are going to like. That right now we have theijuana you know it's just a stupid shirt that people are going to like that right now we have the fuck it I'm getting a chicken shirt and you must have been

a fucking thrill in Spanish class what is it how do you say it? Taburate de bar de portes that is that's going to be like an all time seller I think and that's why we're the 48th largest destination on the fucking internet. It's a great shirt.

Welker was telling me, he's like, all right, hang on. Before I get it loaded in the store. And I was like, oh, no, no, no. Just one for me, please. Just one. One of one. Those are the shirts that usually end up hitting the most, right? One of one.

Let's take some calls. 833-85-STOOL. Jake from Georgia, what's up? Yeah, so I got a question about the LeBron thing like why do you go against it man like you know I know it's LeBron he's got this big platform and stuff like that but you see way like way worse things bro you see like little league like A ball and B ball you got parents who are big yeah we make fun of them too yeah but LeBron come on man the kid dunked like I'm I mean he's what. Yeah, but LeBron, come on, man. The kid dunked. Like, I mean, he's, what is he, 13, 14? LeBron's son?

Come on now. It's A. No, I mean, the point you just made is exactly it. We make fun of people who do that. If you are an adult and you insert yourself into the game, if you argue with the ref, if you run on the field, the court, whatever, I make fun of the regular dad who does it. I make fun of the athlete who does it.

Did you make fun of Carmelo at D-Wade's last game When he took the ball and went on the court Yeah I believe I did I said look at Carmelo trying to get another fucking shot at the league Because he's a bum and he's out Yeah that's the whole point This is what we do, we make fun of these things Yeah but do you make fun of it

Because you think that it's wrong for him to do that Or do you think you make fun of him because it's funny You know what I'm saying I think it's weird, I wouldn't say, or do you think you make fun of him because it's funny? You know what I'm saying? I think it's weird. I wouldn't say wrong. I don't think that there's anything morally wrong with this. I don't think he's a bad person for it. I think if it was me, I wouldn't do that because I think it's not a good look.

I think it's kind of a weird thing to do. I would kind of play it cool. I think it would be cooler if LeBron was sitting in the stands or standing in the stands playing like playing it more like, you know, we me. And again, I think the biggest footnote in all of sports history is going to be that it's not his fucking son. We have just forgotten that and we're just assuming it is his son. And I understand why I get the whole point of it, but it's not his kid. I think if it was just like, yeah, the James family boys, like we dominate basketball and that's all there is to it and didn't make a spectacle spectacle of it I think that there's some cockiness and some like swagger in doing it that way so

that's how I would do it I think him doing it the way he did it is weird and I think the way he was stomping around and flailing around is just like for a guy who's always been almost like so uh you know like larger than life to see him being the goofy weird dude is fucking weird. Actions like this are reserved for the guys who never had it, who never worked it. It's like a live vicariously through someone else.

The dad who's yelling at the game, the dad who's going crazy at the game is always the dad who didn't live up to his own dreams. Actions are reserved for those people and then superstars. They can do whatever they want. And usually that guy is. Actions are reserved for those people and then superstars. They can do whatever they want. Again, like it's not wrong. It was a weird, it's a weird thing.

I guess people have told me that it's, you know, that is AAU culture. That's like invited to the AAU. I don't know. I don't know about AAU. But even that is like, there's a reason why this one has, because it went that far. Yes. You've seen guys doing that for everywhere from street ball to dunk contest to AAU where you run away or you like fall over. Nobody has ever lost their shoe in the crowd and then had to run out and grab it and then done the weird like inflatable car salesman thing.

You know what I mean? Kevin, do you think that – I mean I don't think it would go viral if it wasn't somebody like LeBron. I think it would have just been like maybe like somebody – a couple of people. Yeah, no. It's gone. It's gone. It has gone. I think – We've blogged like maybe somebody, a couple people. It has gone. We blogged these things for years. We wouldn't be talking about it five days later.

I can tell you that right now. Of course not, but it would be a blog. Look at this little league dad who ran on them. The reason we're talking about it five days later is because it's become a racial thing. It's become a parenting thing. The Washington Post ran a thing today that said the latest LeBron James debate is not about basketball, it's about his

parenting skills. No, it's fucking not thing today that said the latest LeBron James debate is not about basketball. It's about his parenting skills. No, it's fucking not. And that's the Washington Post. How is there somebody not being like, wait a minute? This is even somebody. Somebody finally tweeted because, you know, everybody has been hammering me being like, well, you cheated on your wife. So blah, blah, blah, blah. And somebody was like, he just said the guy's weird.

Like, why are we taking it there so i mean jake i don't know where no i was just looking at it because like uh it was so much twitter timeline because like you said like i'm not going to bring up your past because that's the past and you put that the rest and you you know you you're not trying to hide it and stuff like that but you got all these people still talking about about you so i was wondering like what you said was truly like, derogatory and hate towards him. No, you know, I'll tell you what it was, Jake. Kevin's actually LeBron Finn. That's the crazy part about it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have no problem with you. It's just, like, the way that it came on my story timeline is, like, you know, those people who obviously have no reason, like, they just hate for no reason or stuff like that. Like, you know, like, about the past and what you did. And, like, as I read more into it, it's not like you hit it and like you addressed it and you put it down like you know what i'm saying yeah i mean that that is just because i respect that the internet has is they don't like me now because if you're a lebron fan you don't like me and if you don't like me you use that against me the problem with the the the final part of my tweet i said what a

weirdo that was kind of more my message. The problem, what became, I think, where people went racial with it, is where I said he was behaving like a child. Because I meant like, you're stomping and stamping, and again, being like a weirdo with your arms and legs, it looks like a little kid running around. I don't know if that became a racial thing.

Well, I don't know, like someone was like, why don't you just call him boy, which is a very triggered racial word. That's such a reach. Yeah, I mean it's a reach, but it's also like this is how the internet goes. I get it now. I mean I get it in the sense of like I get the internet. I don't get why people do this, but I can see someone being like, white guy is calling this black guy child. It's racial.

It's like, all right. I mean this is how it works. It's stupid. Everything is just taken derogatory. Yeah, exactly. I meant it was like you look like a goofy little dude, man. You look like the 14-year-olds that you're, like, celebrating with. Just talking about, like, I heard you guys talking about LeBron,

and I feel like he gets a little bit of a bad rap. I'm not a big fan of him, but he's just being a dad. Like, he was out supporting. No, he's not. No, he's not. When have you ever seen another dad do that? There are so many dads in the world that don't do that! But he's being, like...

Scott, are you a dad? All right, all right. Next game, you do it. You do it. Okay, no, I wouldn't do that, but... If you love your kid and that's what good parenting is, you go do it. And why would you not? Look at Travis Kelsey.

Look at Adrian Peterson. Are those good dads? What the fuck kind of point is that? Yes, no, I don't think that he should beat his kids. I think you should be a good dad. Why the fuck would you even bring that up? What does that have to do with anything? If you're asking me would I rather all the dads in the world run on the court or beat them, I would

rather them be LeBron. Yes, or what I really would prefer is a normal dad to just fucking sit there and maybe get a little excited in the crowd but not run on the court or beat them, I would rather them be LeBron. Yes. Or what I really would prefer is a normal dad to just fucking sit there and maybe get a little excited in the crowd, but not run on the goddamn court and flail around. Why the fuck would beating your kids or being a horrible, abusive parent even come into this conversation? Because he's doing the right thing by being a supportive parent and doing the right thing. You can do that without flailing around. This is not about parenting.

You know what sucks is that I'm on the side that I think LeB You can do that without flailing around. This is not about parenting. You know what sucks is that I'm on the side that I think LeBron can do whatever he wants and I've been going against you guys all week. Calls like this is where I'm like, fuck, I wish I wasn't arguing. It's like, what are you talking about? Adrian Peterson is a bad person. Why is he coming up? When has me or any of the other fucking morons like

Whitlock and them ever said that like, you know, we had anything to do with his parenting or ever brought up really, really bad people. Like he's, he's not, he's like, can you not be, I guess. Okay. So I see what you're saying. You can be proud, but you shouldn't flail around.

So like that's fine. That's it. Stop. Period. Stop. It's over. But every once in a while, maybe you do. Maybe you are overzealous about your own kid, and you take it a little too far.

Scott, the next time you argue this, just say LeBron James plays by a different set of rules. He's a superstar, so he can act this way, but not normal parents do, because he's doing more than a normal parent would supporting his kid. If this is about parenting, like I said, you do it. And the reason why you're not going to do it is because you know it's kind of ridiculous behavior that you can't get away with. He can get away with it, but it's ridiculous behavior.

That's why you don't do it. That's why normal parents don't do it because it's ridiculous. Okay, I see what you guys are saying. Okay, I could see that. So, yeah. So, there you go. Thank you for the call. Bringing up Adrian Peterson. I could see that. So, yeah. He was a drinker. So, there you go. Thank you for the call. Bringing up Adrian Peterson.

I mean, that is – That's crazy. I might switch over to the all-side of this argument just because of that phone. Oh, you don't like LeBron James? What would you rather be, Tyree Bills? One guy lost his shoe on a basketball court. The other fucking beats his wife or whatever the hell we're doing, and that's what we're comparing. Well, that's the thing, is that it took on this life of its own, where it's like, you know,

it came about parenting, race, fidelity, monogamy. It's like, it's about one fucking thing. It's about how you behave in the stands during a fucking game of children. That's it. That's fucking it. It is the worst. That's one of the worst arguments

I've heard in a long time. But by the way, LeBron's a racist for his tacos. What do you got, Tyler? Yeah, that last call was awful. Like, I had no point.

There's so many of those, though, Tyler. Like, I'm seeing so much more of that in my timeline now, which I know is like the internet getting out of control, but you would be surprised

how many people think that's a sound argument. But have anybody brought up like bad dads like that yet? Not like by name, but people have been like, well, would you rather him like be the absentee thing comes up, not the parents,

but like, well, he didn't have a dad and the other, the kid he was celebrating, his dad hasn't been around for four years. Would you rather that? No, I would rather everyone have nice fucking fathers.

I also would think that most people should not jump on the goddamn court. Don't smoke. LeBron's doing it because there's a camera in his face and he knows that he's being filmed. That's why he's doing it. That's why he's doing the Taco Tuesday. Taco Tuesday. Taco Tuesday. We were talking about it this morning.

I can't get enough of it. It's like the worst thing that's like ever happened not Taco Tuesday but just the half joke that it's racist that's picking up steam that's a real thing as of today but the other people who are saying it

on the internet or you? the other people who are saying it are people who are just like god damn it I really wish you weren't on my side here. Because it's like, Clay Travis. How is it racist? Wait, Clay Travis is saying it's racist? Clay Travis said, what if a white person took fried chicken and did this in a stereotypical black voice or whatever?

And it's just like, I don't want you on my side, son of a bitch! I'm just trying to have fun over here! Why are you going to make it so serious and weird, bro? By the way, white people have Taco Tuesdays all the time. No, but I mean, he's not wrong. If a white person was to eat chicken and watermelon and do a black person voice, they would be in a lot of trouble. As a white dude, you can't do anything. That's the theme, bro.

That is the theme. The white man is oppressed. I never interpreted like LeBron is doing it in like a Spanish voice, though. When he goes. That part I didn't see. Yeah, he goes taco Tuesday. I mean, that is, you know, like he's doing a impersonation of a Mexican person there. Doing like a Mexican accent.

That is what's happening. I don't actually think it's racist. But again, if you were to do some very stereotypical black stuff, it would be like blackface. It would be – you would be in trouble for that. Or maybe you wouldn't. Let's find out. Karabas, go get some – Go do something racist and let's find out if it's racist. So wait.

I don't – you guys don't think it's racist what lebron is doing i mean like that i do think i hate when like that point that part of clay travis's point i go yeah in trouble but i also don't actually think that lebron james is uh i mean you could make the argument like we're kind of choosing if i did taco tuesday i think people would be furious at me no no i do not think so no no but i also think maybe there is someone who would they like that's what i'm saying is like you are kind of picking and choosing because there are times where we see the girl wears a kimono and we're outraged and lebron does yeah and he's not it's like you know but i think there are people who who argue that saint patrick's day and cinco de mayo and those things are appropriation's like, you know, but I think there are people who argue that St. Patrick's Day and Cinco de Mayo

and those things are appropriation and shit. So, you know, sometimes people are outraged and sometimes they're not. I was doing it as a joke. Now it's becoming real. I don't know.

Brian, what do you got on LeBron? That would happen to you, Kevin. Brian, you there? Take your phone off mute, Brian. What's up, Brian? Yeah, I'm here. What's up? Oh, nothing.

I just want to know what's the difference between LeBron, you know, getting into the layup line with his son and the handicapped kid at Park High School in the layup line with the varsity and warming up with the varsity. What's the difference between that? What? One's a professional athlete. I don't know. I don't have a problem with either of that. Is that what you're saying?

We've always been pro. The layup line's not interrupting the game. The handicapped kid getting in line with the varsity, he's still a kid in high school, right? He's on the team. He's usually the manager. And I'm totally for LeBron being in the layup line. He's not on the team. But they're the same age.

You're arguing something that we agree with you. Yeah, I'm being in the layup line. He's not on the team. But they're the same age. They're the same age. But also, you're arguing something that we agree with you. Yeah, I'm okay with the layup line. Get the layup line. You're agreeing with me. Yeah, get the layup line. The layup line, I think, is cool. It's like that's pregame. It's practice.

I think the kids like that. I don't think it stops the game. But it's definitely not the same as a handicapped kid that's in high school getting in the line. I mean, that's – It stops the game. But what about when the ball gets thrown into the stands? That stops the game too. Like, I mean, that's... It stops the game, but what about when the ball gets thrown into the stands? That stops the game, too. Like, I mean, there's stuff

that stops the game all the time. We have a lot of lawyers calling into the show, and I'll tell you what, they make strong arguments. They make some fucking... Yeah, sometimes the ball goes out of bounds.

Sometimes the ball goes out of bounds. How about that? What do you think about this one, friend? Have you thought about traveling? The ref blows the whistle and stops the game. They score baskets. They take it out of bounds.

They pass it back in bounds. How about that chop of the game? Have you thought about timeouts? The coaches stop the game for a minute at a time. Sometimes it's a full timeout. He's a dumb person. I don't know why he felt compelled to do this

because... Because he's a Yankee fan. But the Yankees have the best record in baseball. I know, but Yankee fans don't fucking get it. They're so fucking dense. They can't understand. They're just like LeBron and the A-Rods. Just embrace being the villain because you're not going to be likable. Nobody fucking likes you.

I don't care what your team is made of. I don't care that Aaron Judge is a nice guy. I don't care that they've done it the right way. You wear pinstripes. You have a lot of money on your payroll. You're the evil empire. Nobody fucking likes you. Nobody cares. They're all going to root against you.

If you don't like the Yankees, you hate the Yankees. That's it. So Hubs goes, I'm officially over the trade deadline. I'm actually really confident. We didn't get anyone. We didn't need anyone. The boys know they're a championship team. They have the best record in baseball for a reason. Reinforcements are coming.

Now, that would be fine, actually, to be honest, because there he's actually just admitting what they are. He goes, we're going to need Seve and Dillon back soon. The rotation was fine up until two weeks ago. Blah, blah, blah. Then he goes, this is where it starts to get cringy. We're going to need Aaron Judge to become Aaron Judge. He's had a perfectly good year, but when he's healthy, I need the destroyer of all worlds, Aaron Judge, to show up. I literally just got the douche chill.

The most important thing will be securing home field throughout the playoffs. Houston struggles big time in the Bronx. Let's not forget a much worse Yanks team up 3-2 on Houston in the ALCS two years ago. Much worse. Home field is massive. And then here we go. Let's not forget the two completely different rosters played against each other two years ago. Here we go.

It starts tonight and every night. Every night is massively important. People will count us out because of the pitching. That'll make us underdogs. Good. They let the New York Yankees become underdogs. Fools. Only one thing left to do then win the whole fucking thing i mean

how many tweets was it uh it's five total five total but that last that last line there no it was today it was it was a 25 in the morning yeah that last there like you're fucking writing you know what that sounds like the script for a movie trailer. You're not on either. What is the, is that last, what movie is that from? There's only one thing that's due

in the whole damn thing. Yeah, I think that's Major League, right? Yeah. Is all that stuff before Major League 2? No,

I don't think so. Because then maybe he's making a joke. No, no, no, because I came in this morning and I was like,

fuck you, Hubs. And he was like, yeah, like that, I was doing that on purpose for you. Like, shut the fuck up. No, no, no, no. That, that to me was like, fuck you, Hubs. And he was like, yeah, I was doing that on purpose for you.

Shut the fuck up. No, no, no, no. That to me was like, you would have thought that the Yankees are like the little engine that could. That it was Rudy. That it was like the fucking Vegas Knights of a couple years ago in hockey. Like this team that came out of nowhere and no one ever has ever considered the possibility. They won 100 games last year. They won 20 billion championships. They won 100 games last year. They have one of the best rosters in baseball.

And yes, I understand if they were to face the Houston Nationals right now in the World Series, they would be the literal underdog. But there is the Vegas underdog, and there's the real-world, actual-life term underdog. and you ain't ever going to be one of those dude. I hate

when people do this. When you have a great team and it's just like we're the underdogs it's so fucking annoying. It's no coincidence that it's you and the fucking Yankees. The two goddamn fan bases that do it are the two goddamn worst fan bases in all the fucking world. Look you counted us out. You made a mistake doing that. And they just

say that until they all believe it in the locker room. And then they actually go win because of it. And everyone else on the outside is going, Nobody's counting you out except for Max Kellerman. That's it. He's the only one. But he's who drives the conversation, Kevin. He's a conversation driver.

That's Tom Brady. Tom Brady is never going to be an underdog ever. Everyone thinks we suck. I mean, I know exactly where Hubs is coming from with this one. You've changed your mind now. You no longer think he's a douche. I just don't get where he's coming from, man. Just because you're on top, people count you out.

I don't think. I mean, that's been the Patriots thing forever. Rodney Harrison used to be like, no one believed in us. We were 14-2 that season. I mean, it's one thing if you're doing it for bulletin board material. It's another thing if you recognize it. It's a third thing altogether if you sit there making your tweet thread.

I mean, I feel like he really thinks this. No, he really does. These fools! You've made the Yankees underdogs! Fools! You'll rue the day you ever spoke of the pinstripes in this fashion. Fuck you, Ups. They have the best record in baseball. And they have, like, wire to wire, basically, right?

They've been fucking incredible all year long. They have the best record in baseball. You fools. They have Luis Severino tying back. I love that, you fools. I love that. You fools. Sounds like someone playing, like, Warcraft.

Like, just yell, like, You feel on my spear, you fools! Oh, God. Fuck you, Hubs. We need that to be a drop. Fools! Let's talk to Eric in Philly about that weasel, Hubs. What do you got?

So, hey, I'm actually a Yankees fan, but he is the most cringeworthy person there is. I thought it was a Cody Coe, Noel Miller cringe video you were reading just now. You fool! That was fucking brutal. You are a fool, Eric! From Princess Bride. You fool! Inconceivable!

You fool! You fool! You fool! I mean, the way, like the periods and the way it's written and like blocked out. He wanted it to be like a let's go. Yeah, I saw somebody, I did see some Yankee fans be like, we're going to run through a brick wall. I think Ryan Rucco was like, we need the ultimate

warrior to like read this in his voice. Ultimate warrior is dead. What? Yankee fans are the, you fools! the ultimate warrior to like read this in his voice. Ultimate warrior is dead. Like what? Yeah. Yankee fans are the – Are you fools? Dude, Yankee fans are fools. I mean, god damn.

You know what I need? I need a Marty Mush rant, but the opposite of this. Like, I don't know, these rat bastards are going to fucking win a bunch of games. There's just the least self-aware fan base. It's crazy. It really is. It's crazy. It really is. It's nuts. Maybe I guess Patriots fans are kind of the conversation,

but Yankee fans are number one in terms of the least self-aware fan base. Wait, you think Patriots fans are self-aware? I think I am. You are. There are Patriots fans. I have the immediate reaction. Slow them coming at me. It's just also just levels of it.

No sports fan base is totally self-aware. That's the just levels of it. No sports fan base is totally self-aware. That's the whole point of sports. Every single fan base has lack of self-awareness. It just depends on where they land on the spectrum. You think about Dave and his followers, the team Portnoy, children of Mass

Hullery. Then Deflategate took it to another level where they're almost like, like Patriots fans are almost like LeBron fans this week where they're like, you're so used to defending. And then when they had this big thing, like they'll always fall back to that. Like, cause when you'll do it too. If I say something about the Patriots, you'll be like, well,

there was a fucking win time against our quarterback. So it always, now you'll have fuel forever. The Yankees fans don't have anything. No. I'm against our quarterback. So it always, now you'll have fuel forever. It spanned years, Kevin. The Yankee fans don't have anything. No. Other than like, there was a couple seasons, like the mid-2000s, we didn't make the playoffs. We're underdogs. It's crazy, man.

It's the total. The only thing, I'll tell you what the problem is. So I understand the Yankee fans I grew up with being who they are. Because they, like, grew up through a dynasty, right? Did you see Hubbs' argument with me last night? Like, we were talking about, like, the Red Sox. Oh, yeah, the Red Sox aren't going back-to-back. That's why you're upset.

I was like, you haven't been in a position to go back-to-back since you were in high school. He was like, well, the Yankees were the last team to go back-to-back. I was like, you were five. You don't remember that at all. So that's where the problem is because I understand the kids who grew up through the dynasty. I understand like just the Goombats fucking like I get them.

They're just like skills, whatever. Tommy and Hubs, that whole generation, they are growing up knowing that they're supposed to be the big bad yankees but they don't really know how to because they've never done it yeah so like they they want to talk shit and act like the pinstripes the bombers the dynasty the class of sports but they weren't there for it they've only seen kind of like in in a weird way heart heartbreak in the sense that it's like you just keep losing like you know you're not like a a lame team so they're trying to be cool and tough and big bad yankees but they don't know what how to do it yeah and that's why i come that's what this is if i were like a young kid blogging right now about the

red sox i wouldn't take me seriously because i didn't live through 04 it's like you can't how are you supposed to live through 04 no no i'm saying if i were a young kid blogging right now oh right right right right it's like if you don't live through that 100 then you can't i'm saying if i were a young kid blogging right now oh right right right right it's like if you don't live through that 100 then you can't really discourage anyone to like not pick it up but it's like well you can't speak to like the history of it you can start talking about like the red sox from 2010 on or something like that i mean i do that all the time with with mets fans like new young mets fans are like why why are you pessimistic it's like well you know if you didn't live through 07,

you didn't lose the Subway Series in 2000, and you didn't lose 120 games in 1993. And then I'm sure, but the older generation could always say that about you. I still get that on Twitter. I'll be like, motherfucker, I lived through 67, 75, 86. You fucking kidding me? It's like, why are all these Bostonians from Texas? There are a lot of Red Sox fans from Texas.

Mother fucker, I was there in 64. Where was you? Where is you? You fool. Yeah, but I still get that. I still get that. Yeah. Also, though, the break in the curse was such a seminal moment that if you are going to pick one time, you have to be a part of.

But when you are like, I'm this Yankee fan, but the last time they won, you were in kindergarten? Last time the Yankees won a World Series, Hubs was what, 15? So that's like mile four. And then prior to that, he was an adolescent child. And that's really when the dynasty was cooking prior to that, he was an adolescent child. And that's really when the dynasty was cooking. We got a 23-year-old Yankee fan here. Darren from Long Island, what do you got, you piece of shit?

What's going on, piece of shit? Listen. Original, too. Really original. That's what the Yankee fans do. Christ, that's what you come in with? Go ahead. Start again. Ah, fuck.

Spice made me feel like an asshole. Okay. Listen, okay, born in 95. The only World Series I remember, obviously, is 2009. But the Yankee fans who like to say dynasty this, that, the other thing, it fucking pisses the shit out of me. I'm a diehard. No, that one's bad, too.

I hate the 27 rings. I hate Spencer Jr. on Twitter. Like, I fucking love the Yankees. but Yankee fans these days are so fucking stupid. We are not, like, we're not the old Yankees. We're just not anymore. That's just not what we are. No, but so here's the problem. So here's the thing, Darren.

I agree with you, and that's why that was that fateful day here at Barstool where all the Yankees turned on each other and and uh the 27 rings argument was going on i agree that yeah like the liz 27 rings but in a way it's almost better than this hybrid of like like so you are self-aware but at the same time i also would imagine that when it comes down to it you still try to flex like well i'm the yankees and like you're you're the asshole mets little brother it's like bro i mean if you want to get down to it like you still try to flex like, well, I'm the Yankees and like, you're, you're the asshole Mets little brother. It's like, bro, I mean, if you want to get down to it, like we were in the world series much more recently than you, if you want to talk about other teams, uh, like you're better than them, but you're also self-aware and you haven't won

in a while, you're going to be stuck in no man's land. Yeah. My best friend's an Astros fan. I mean, that guy's living a much better life than I am right now. It's just a fact. Yeah. Well, I mean, it sounds like you're, you're're altogether pretty self-aware, but the problem becomes when you decide you're going to try to do the big bad Yankees thing. You can't have both. You either got to just be like a regular fan of every other team, or

you have to just... That's why I don't necessarily hate Liz. I'm just going to bury my head and keep talking about the glory days because it's better than being like, well, you know, we're pretty good, but haven't won as much as the Astros. It's like, depends on

this in between of underdog speech fucking President Whitmore hubs over here. We will not go quietly into the night. We will live on. Terrible speech. The worst part is that he wasn't trying to be funny. I'm never going to get around Chris.

It was a legitimate attempt at a pump-up speech. Get him in here. I just want to yell at him face-to-face for a little while. We have to talk about John Feidelberg's schizophrenic personality. Do we get the page? I got the book. I got the book. Show the people.

Take a picture of that. Put it up on Twitter. Casey will tweet it out. I don't have my phone. Remember the cleanse. I'll fucking tweet it out. You don't even bring it in? Nope.

She's been doing this for weeks. It's great. I know that, but I thought she at least had it in here. Where is it? I don't know. It's in there somewhere. I mean, is this... So let's do the Deadspin thing while we find this.

Okay. John, talk to me and the people. Yeah, that's the one. It's in there somewhere. I mean, is this... So let's do the Deadspin thing while we find this. Okay. John, talk to me and the people. Yeah, that's the one. That's it, yeah. That looks like a goddamn tornado is just ripping through someone's brain. And by the way, just in the very corner, it just says, cancel summer. It says, cancel summer, Brady, and that's it. And that's it. That's like some Charlie Kelly type shit. And Brady, and that's it. And that's it.

That's like some Charlie Kelly type shit. And belongings and fuck Kathy. Well, that also, that was impressive. He was writing that upside down. Oh, yeah. I wrote belongings and fuck Kathy. I wrote upside down. Look how well that is written for upside down writing.

Belongings was written upside down? Yeah. Yeah. The fuck Kathy looks like it was written upside down, but. Looks like it was written by a schizophrenic. Wait, what the hell is this? I don't, Casey, I don't fucking know what I do. Did you write the fuck Kathy while you were interviewing her uh no it was like recapping

it or something did you notice that this is just a bunch of bees like this is a big bee and that was probably belonging there yeah so it was funny because as i was talking he was writing upside down to me and it just said fuck kathy and i was like i thought he was like giving me a note to say and i was kind of like i mean okay we can do that like yeah fuck Kathy Griffin I don't know this is terrifying oh there he is come on in you fool you ignorant fool here we go again I've figured it out I've figured out the problem with you you Tommy your whole generation you're self-aware you're not the 27 rings Yankee fan well we're definitely like we've moved past that we realize we haven't won in a lot right we we bought that last year but then at the same time when it

fits the situation you're talking to mets fans whatever it is you still want to play like the big bad yankees card you still you're stuck somewhere i will never say 27 rings no but there's a difference between 27 rings it's a You still think that you're better than other teams. Well, we definitely are still better than you. So you just proved his point. 100%. Fine. Other baseball, other teams, I still believe you would think you're better than them.

Like who? Like other fans. Like Red Sox fans? Yeah. Is that what you're talking about? Red Sox fans, maybe not currently Ast fans because like they literally just won and beat you but in general if you are if you're gonna of course we have an arrogance to us we're fucking new york of course right so you but you're like on one hand you're admitting you're not like what

you like the dynasty anymore and on the other hand you're like no i got this always have to us yeah that'll never go away you don't have this isn't groundbreaking you don't have it to back it up you don't have any reason to be arrogant anymore, and you're admitting it half the time. But then you'll still pretend to be – That's who we are. We're arrogant assholes. That's why you're stuck in this weird in-between where you're like, yeah, we're fucking the Yankees, but you'll also go on a Twitter rant about being underdogs. Well, that was just directed – that was pretty much directed right to you, and it pissed you off.

I was so happy to come in and help piss you off. You wrote that shit like it was a fucking Hollywood script. All the Astros are the World Series champions. Oh, good for them. That doesn't make the Yankees an underdog. Oh, it does because they're not the favorite. If the LCS ends up being Yankees-Astros again, it'll just be like a heavyweight fight.

It's a coin flip. You said they were going to sweep us last night, so how about that? No, I said I can't wait for them to sweep you. I didn't say they're going to. I just hope that that happens. Okay, got it. You just, you're not, you're stuck. The underdog thing was absolutely to get under people's skin.

For sure. I don't think it was. I don't think it was. I don't think it was either. Because if you look at like Ryan Ruelco and the other guys like responding, they're all like, yeah, yeah, yeah, rah, rah, rah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think it was like a rah, rah speech.

Well, I mean, I think it was the everything but the underdog thing. I don't think we actually believe in the underdogs. You were writing that being like, this is good. You guys are the underdogs. Hubs, god damn it. Tell the people. You're the underdogs, man. Yeah, like, fights are saying this is exactly what the Patriots do.

But you've got to lean all the way into it, man, if you're going to do this. Yeah, but the Patriots also are winning. The Astrosros World Series champions on August 2nd then we're the fucking underdogs shut the fuck up with that everyone's already

counting us out because of our pitching we have the worst pitching right who's counting you out who nobody is name one person nobody is

there's not a single person in the world other than Jared Karabas I mean your pitching does suck it absolutely sucks but that doesn't mean you're counting them out it will probably be your undoing no Iing to the point that I'm going to like absolutely write you off.

See, I think you guys are pussyfooting around cutting them off. What? I don't know why that came out. No, no, no. No, no, no. What was that even? You guys are pussyfooting around writing them off. You're like pushing things that will be on your undoing.

Why can't I talk right now? The pitching stinks that will be on your undoing. Like if you ask me who I think is going to win the World Series, I would think it's the Astros. Does that mean I'm counting out the Yankees? Counting them out? Yeah. Counting out the New York Yankees. This is what the Patriots fan is going to do.

Shut up. You won't give us a chance. Not a fighting chance. So you actually believe it. You're not writing that to get under my skin. You actually believe that. No one gives us a chance. We're the fucking underdogs.

Shut up, John. We're the goddamn underdogs. Shut up, John. We're the goddamn underdogs. Shut up. You just wrote them up. You just said the Astros are the world series. This is how you do it. That's the way to do it.

Thank you, Kevin. Thank you, John. You don't say, oh, I was doing that on purpose. You have to totally lean

all the way into it, but you can't because on the other hand, you're this self-aware Yankee fan and you fucking know. No, no one's going to be one of the other.

in the ALCS. No one's giving us a chance. You might not even make it out of the division. Carabas said they're going to get swept. He said, I can't wait for them to get swept. They're going to get swept. That's a declarative statement. You don't think our pitching is good enough to even come close to winning one game

against the Astros? No. There you go. Underdogs. The other thing too is if you want to continue this underdog theory, I don't even think he'll get out of the first round. Never mind matchup against the Astros. Maybe they'll miss the playoffs. You think they'll miss the playoffs?

Could happen. If you keep losing to the Rays, then maybe that will happen. We're helping the Rays catch you guys. There you go. At the end of the day, maybe the Sox are going to take the Yankees out. Is it over?

Are you just rooting now against everyone that faces us? I know Allen. No, no, I haven't canceled yet. But I mean, there's a legitimate chance that the Yankees don't even make the playoffs this year. Let's hit our break when we come back. Our number two.
