Actually, you know what, I don't think I am.
We'll address it, we'll start with it, but I don't want to overdo it.
You gotta save the accent, you know?
Yeah, people are gonna want more of it.
Right, you gotta say, you know, we just got back.
We'll start, I'm gonna say hello, greet the people,
but then I'm gonna turn it over to my friend John
and he'll do the reads
and stuff like that
we'll do the conversations
okay
so this is the CCK podcast
Kevin is not here
I don't know what Kevin
would be doing right now
it's me, Marty, and fights
although we just got off a radio
and it's a fast Friday
and I think it was the
most ridiculous five minutes of
radio. I mean, Twitter's loving it
because these two idiots sitting on either
side of me are speaking in Irish
accents, and my abs hurt
so bad right now.
I mean,
look here, you're seeing the videos from
Vegas when my friends come down to watch the Conor McGregor
fights.
You bring the Irish to a party and it's going to get off the hands.
I would love the Dublin.
I came back from Dublin, had some green eggs and ham.
And then I was cutting the grass like a landscaper.
I stood the landscaper and I went up onto the face.
You bring up the landscaper.
I'm glad you did that because this is your podcast, right?
The support for KFC Radio.
It comes from Manscaped Products.
Manscaped Products.
I got a whole box right here.
A treasure.
I got a whole treasure right here coming from the rainbow.
I didn't see the rainbow.
Yeah, no, they get all kinds of products.
They got the plow, yeah, to get up there.
The plow was good.
The plow's fantastic.
They got the crop reviver.
They got the crop preserver.
Right, here you go.
You got the lawnmower there.
Now, there's a thing about it.
Not all the lads,
all the lasses, really,
to be perfectly frank with you.
The lasses like it.
The lasses love it,
but not all of them participate.
So this is the thing you get.
It's one thing,
when you become an adult,
you got to know,
you got to keep it tight
for everybody else.
What did you just say?
And they've redesigned
the electric trimmer.
The Lawnmower 2.0
has proprietary skin technology. So the trimmer, it? The Lawn Mower 2.0 has proprietary skin technology.
So the trimmer, it won't snag your nuts, right?
And you got a good sock?
John O'Henry, I have a good sock.
You got a good sock?
I have a good sock.
I'm looking forward to seeing it one day, but I still haven't to this moment.
I will trim it with the plow.
Yeah, the final thing in the past, the accidents.
You know, you've heard plenty of times, it looks like you got bit by a snake on the pecker.
And, you know, St. Patrick, thank God. But, you know, plenty of times you get to, it looks like you got bit by a snake on the pecker. And, you know,
oh, St. Patrick, thank God.
But, you know,
you get bit by the snake
no longer.
They're things of the past.
And, you know,
you don't want to use
the same thing on your face
as you use on your balls.
That's crazy.
It's crazy, lad.
So, yeah, the props,
the LaCroix Preserver,
we mentioned that earlier.
It's an anti-chafing
ball deodorant and moisturizer.
You already put deodorant
on your armpits, right?
You got just as much rubbing down there, don't you,
when you're walking around the big city.
In Ireland, you still got to put this shit on.
You got to put it on, yeah.

Now I'm going to turn it over. We're going to get back.
I'm glad we had it today. I'm going to turn it back over to
John. And let's talk
about whatever here the host
has decided to talk about. Thank you for having me.
Thank you. John O'Henry's gone.
What's your name?
Fucking green eggs and ham.
I'm going to be honest.
I don't know what else there is to talk about.
I don't know.
We've got Rob and Rowdy tonight.
We have an AC pool party tomorrow.
I'm just going to be hearing Irish accents for the rest of the weekend.
You're fucking welcome.
I mean, no.
I'm so excited to do that at the pool party.
You're going to just walk around talking like this now?
Yeah, especially because everyone's going to be like, oh, Morty, how you doing?
How are you doing?
How you doing, you bastard?
I have absolutely no idea what's on this Best of podcast because I feel like because it's
just such a, it was a slow July week.
Oh, yeah. And it ended with you two fucking idiots doing what
you're doing.
I mean,
BC,
what do we have on the podcast this week?
I don't even know.
Um,
we did bagel boss.
That seems like a million years ago.
That was this week.
Kirk popped in,
uh,
KB joined.
Um,
Smitty was in for a little while,
like half dead.
I don't know.
He looked,
he looked awful.
Smitty was, that was the most perfect thing ever.
I woke up very early.
It's your new habit.
What was that? Tuesday? Wednesday? Thursday?
Don't know. Whatever day it was, I woke
up and I live with Gaz. Gaz runs, well not runs,
but has access to the main account.
And Gaz was so funny because he woke up, saw Smitty
was still streaming. Gaz promotes it from the main account.
Twelve seconds later, Smitty's like, I'm done.
Someone noticed me. Gaz comes out of the main account. 12 seconds later, Smitty's like, I'm done. Gaz comes out of the living room.
He's like, this kid's got to be fucking kidding me.
He's been streaming all night while no one's awake.
Wakes up 8 o'clock in the morning.
People are starting their commute.
Stuff like that gets promoted on the main account.
Says, I'm all set with this.
Thank you very much.
That's Smitty for you.
That says it is the most perfectly Smitty thing that's ever happened.
Did you see him, though, after that?
He looked like shit. I did not see him, though, after that? He looked like shit.
I did not see him, though.
He looked so bad.
He came into radio.
He had his bags because he's going to AC to have to gamble all weekend.
So he was, I mean, he looked.
This was like two days ago, right?
This wasn't yesterday.
This was.
No, I think it was yesterday.
It was a Thursday morning.
Yeah, it was yesterday.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, the Bagel Boss thing being this week is crazy.
KB came in to talk about unsolicited dick pics,
which he started saying USD is what he's calling them now.
I like that.
That's a new thing.
I completely forgot Kirk and Willie was this week.
Where'd you land on that?
I don't know.
Did you ever weigh in on any of that?
I mean, yeah, I made a rundown and stuff like that.
Yeah, you were saying it's crazy how people still get deked.
Yeah, but I get why someone would
like, someone who doesn't
know Kirk would get upset about
that. You know, if someone came in here.
Although I guess I don't also, because it kind of
happened to me. When first
Barstool Idol, Francis was asked
who would you fire here?
And he chose me. And I was just like, whatever.
I don't give a fuck. And he doesn't have that power.
Turns out, you know what, And he doesn't have that power. Turns out.
You know what?
He definitely doesn't have that now.
Francis and I ended up becoming pretty good friends, or very good friends, I think.
Probably one of the people I was closer with here.
So I don't know.
I guess it's not something I'd care about.
But I get when you don't know Kirk and Willie.
I don't think anyone's ever spoken like that to Willie in his entire life.
Probably not.
Well, and when Francis was saying that, too, because, I mean, we all know Francis very well.
Like, he wasn't coming at it from just like
he wasn't being an asshole he was put on the spot right whereas like if you don't know kirk
he comes off like he's an asshole yeah yeah and like i know kirk so if kirk said that to me
i'd be like if kirk's like oh i'll have your show in two calls i'll have you institutionalized in
two calls and that's it and you set up bus balls and that's it and if you don't know kirk i can
yeah i i get what he said i i do think it's it. And if you don't know Kirk, I can – I get what he said.
I do think – it's not the kind of content I care for,
like just people yelling at each other.
It's awkward.
So I tried to listen to that radio – like the radio bit
and Large was trying to wrangle them both.
It wasn't working too well.
And it very quickly devolved into like suck my cock and stuff like that.
That's exactly what it did.
Yeah.
It's just like people are yelling.
You're a pussy.
Wait, no, you're not.
You're a fucking pussy.
The problem with that was that was the morning after they came on our radio show and Willie didn't say anything for 30 minutes.
I completely forgot that was this week.
That felt like it was 10 years ago.
That was so awkward.
I don't get the whole fighting thing.
That's because you don't care about anything.
I know.
That's why this week I can't wait.
I wish I was.
I think it garners attention and stuff like that, but i just can't i can't be bothered it just it doesn't interest me i'm a
little jealous when people are yelling at each other and everyone's loving it yeah damn i would
love to do that but it would be so fake if i did it so it's just like yeah i would it would be nice
to be i actually always say that i uh it sucks that growing up i wasn't a video game player
or gambler because i think think nowadays, those two things
would hugely help your content.
Those are two very sought-after things
that people want to hear about. And I'm like,
I'll do either of those. And it would be like, to start now
would be fake and whatever.
So I wish I had
a horrible vice.
Yes, it does. It's a great thing
for my career, but it really fucking sucks.
Sitting home watching WNBA, like, fuck, I can't pay this guy right now.
It's tough.
But you're right.
You could always do it every single day.
But on top of those two degrees I brought up, on top of those two, if I was an arguer or a yeller, I'll argue.
I'll discuss, but I'm not going to be super mad.
Now that you're feeling all your feelings.
That's like nothing serious.
Right, right, right.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
You want to talk about Kanye West?
We'll scream for a half hour.
Tom Brady.
We'll scream about Tom Brady.
You want to like actually get mad about like a personal attack?
I'm like, I don't fucking give a shit.
It is weird.
Like I, both of you tell me I have way too many feelings, especially you, Marty.
You tell me I care too much and I'm sitting between the two people.
I think in all of my life, I care less about feelings.
And it's just here I am doing content with you.
You care about ourselves.
That's it.
Well, you care about other things more than yourself, right?
Or no?
Not much.
No?
Like my mother.
I like dogs.
Well, that's good.
The only thing, what I'm telling you right now, I'm thinking about Saturday, how I'm
going to plan to see the pool party to dog at night.
That's what I've been thinking about.
So do you have a plan?
Well, no. I think I'm going to be Irish. That's what I've been thinking about. So do you have a plan? Well, no.
I think I'm going to be Irish.
Yeah, Irish.
You're going to do the Irish route.
Well, you guys have a VIP section, right?
Yes.
That's basically
invite the fish into your barrel
and shoot them.
But it's also tough
because it's like a bar.
No, that's what I'm working for at night
because it's like a barstool thing.
I don't want to be slapping rats
in the middle of the fucking party,
you know?
Why?
I don't know. I guess it would look pretty funny. I mean, there are going to be girls that are in the middle of the fucking party, you know? Why? I don't know.
I guess it would look pretty funny.
I mean, there are going to be girls that are going to try to get into our cabana.
That's like he said.
For sure.
That's all it takes a girl.
You tap them on the shoulder.
Hey, I have free beer up here.
Free booze.
Come over.
That's what I'm going to do.
But I got to find a way how to parlay it into the night.
I think it's very easy.
I think it's very easy.
I think really that's super easy. I hope you're not stressing about that. I am. I'm not good during the day. I told it's very easy. I think it's very easy. I think really that's super easy. I hope you're
not stressing about that. I am. I'm not good
during the day. I told you that. Oh, yeah.
He also said he doesn't know how to
temper down the drinking. So he's
going to be shit-faced. Oh, yeah.
But I'm a good shit-faced. I don't look
shit-faced besides my eye.
You have one eye that goes... One eye droops to my
nipple. Yeah. Which one?
The left one. That's tough.
It is going to be a weird scene if you guys don't invite girls into the cabana
because it's going to be me and 17 dudes from Barstool.
I'm the only one inviting girls.
Oh, I guess Willie's wife might be there.
They're in a different cabana.
I mean, this is going to be.
I'm going to witness tomorrow of all of you guys.
Can you explain to me like the I'm sure it wasn't so much as a request as it was a case
that you're doing.
It was definitely not a request.
OK, so there wasn't even a conversation.
It was just like, Casey, this this Saturday you will be at.
It was a are you around on July 20th?
And it was months ago.
So I was like, I mean, yeah, I can be.
What's up?
Like, well, we're doing a pool party in Atlantic City.
I was like, OK, who else is going? Like, we don't know yet, but you will be there. It's like, I mean, yeah, I can be what's up. Like, well, we're doing a pool party in Atlantic city. I was like, okay, who else is going?
Like, we don't know yet, but you will be there.
I was like, okay.
And I asked very nicely.
I said, listen, I, maybe I'm going to sound ridiculous, but I need guys to be there.
I'm not going to do this pool party by myself.
They're like, oh, well, yeah.
Like, we're not going to send you by yourself.
So then it was just me and Willie for like ever.
That was it.
And I have no idea how it went from me and Willie to the group that is going,
but we're here. The thing about
this too is like when you, there's different
relationships with people in the office, but then
once you go out and start drinking with
them, your relationships change. Yeah.
You could say, oh, this guy is a nut.
I don't think I've ever drank with you. No. I definitely
haven't. We've never shared a cup. No.
We've like, the Yankee game is the most
but that doesn't count. Yeah, I think I had two beers. I don't know if you had, you might have had one. No. The Yankee game is the most. But that doesn't count.
I think I had two beers.
I don't know.
You might have had one.
No, I don't do beers.
But yeah.
You don't do beers?
He only does that nasty rum.
I do a different liquor, but no beers no more.
How come?
It doesn't do it for me.
No?
The liquor drunk really gets me drunk.
Cleaner, yeah.
Do you like wine?
No.
You saw me drink.
Oh, that's right.
First class.
Not even like a rosé guy ever? Never had rosé. Oh, you're going to have rosé tomorrow? No. Oh, yeah drink first class. Oh, that's right. First class. Not even like a rosé guy ever?
Never had rosé. Oh, you're going to have rosé tomorrow?
No. Oh, yeah. We're having rosé tomorrow.
Alright, then you have to have Blackheart. Oh, okay. Never mind.
I think that's a good trade.
I'm out on that. I'm out on that.
At 9 o'clock in the morning. Oh, yeah. But that's the
problem is that we're going to get to AC
and everybody that's on that limo bus is going to
be shit-faced. Like, Marty, Big Ev,
Zah. I mean, it's going to... I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow.
They might never invite us back.
So, Marty, you have the wedding tonight.
Yeah.
And then you go in for the wedding.
You don't even get to sleep, are you?
Nope.
He's popping PEDs tomorrow, but he told me he's bad when he's on Adderall.
And it's like, well, what are we not – what are we doing?
Yeah, what are you trying to dog rats for?
If you're fucking on a bunch of Adderall and shit-faced,
you fucking
long dick coming to play?
Oh my god, it's Stella.
My dick is Stella.
Any adversity, it does better.
So you drink 12 hours
and have a couple Adderalls. You're still ready to rip?
I'm still slapping ass left and right.
No joke. But the thing about Adderall
is I'll
get focused on one thing and not be able to stop thinking about it.
So make sure it's a rat.
No, I don't care about rats when I'm on Adderall.
It's like about solar systems.
You know that you're completely contradicting yourself right now.
Am I?
I don't know.
What happens if you smoke weed and take Adderall?
What happens if you smoke Adderall?
What happens if you snort Adderall?
Huh.
Different story.
I've been told that there's going to be weed on the bus too, so are you going to
partake in that? No, I don't
smoke. I don't like going
out and smoking. If I'm smoking,
I'm watching Friday and sitting on the couch.
That's it. I'm with you on that.
I'm watching Friday and sitting on the couch.
Was it you that's never seen Friday? Still, yeah.
I'll tell you what. Ice Cube didn't really sell me on it.
What?
Why the fuck would Ice Cube need to sell you on Friday?
Ice Cube was here.
I said, I've never seen your film Friday.
I heard it's pretty good.
Why don't you pitch me on it?
And he said, it's about the bully finally getting what he deserves
or something like that.
It wasn't a great pitch.
Oh, I don't like that pitch at all.
If he said that to me, I'd be like, you're lying right now.
It's like the worst part of the movie.
By far.
Debo's the worst part of that whole movie.
Ask you.
What an asshole.
Oh, my gosh.
It wasn't about all the girls and smoking the entire time?
That's what he said, Bren.
Yeah, he said like the bully finally getting.
Yeah, I didn't.
I mean, I've seen Friday, and that's not really how I'd sum it up.
No, definitely not.
I wasn't going to argue with the man himself.
That's what he thinks about.
I wish I'd heard him. I'd sum it up. I wasn't going to argue with the man himself. That's what he thinks it's about.
But you know what?
I wonder if he was thinking in his head, like, this dumbass white boy is asking me to pitch Friday?
I mean, we had a good rapport at that point.
We were laughing.
I was like, yeah, I heard it was good.
Why should I see it?
That's disappointing.
He might have just ruined Friday for me.
I mean, Friday is one of those movies that I have bought on Amazon Prime
so I can watch it whenever. I don't even rent it. I don't care
if it's on HBO. I have to have that movie.
And now I'm like, what are we talking about? Debo? That's what
the whole movie's about? Isn't Debo a
drug? Yeah, it's a steroid.
Debo? I didn't know that.
You ever tried it? No, I've only had
Anivar.
Okay.
I did that on Tuesday.
Jesus Christ. Anivar is the steroid they give to AIDS Okay. I get that on Tuesday. What?
Jesus Christ.
Anivar is the steroid they give to AIDS patients.
I took it in college, maybe.
Works.
How did they sell that on you?
I mean, I got it from a drug dealer.
What are you doing right now while you're talking about taking AIDS steroids?
I'm trying to figure out what the ball deodorant is.
That's what I'm talking about.
The ball deodorant?
The dark market.
The black market.
The black market. That's such a fucking crazy thing, too. That's what I'm talking about. The ball deodorant? The dark market. The black market. The black market, yeah.
That's such a fucking crazy thing, too.
That's where real drug dealers get their...
Like Silk Road?
That's what someone said yesterday about the Silk Road.
You know about the Silk Road?
Oh, Marty, I know about the Silk Road.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
Is there chat rooms on there?
I've never been on it.
I just know of its existence.
I don't know what it is.
Yeah, sure.
That's what people say. You kind of had a twinkle in your eye a little bit when been on it. I just know of its existence. I don't know what it is. Yeah, sure. That's what people say.
You kind of had a twinkle in your eye a little bit when you said it.
No, I think you can only buy Bitcoin on it.
But you can buy cocaine.
You can buy guns.
It might have been shut down.
But for a while, it was the hot spot.
Okay.
The more you know, Marty.
The more you know.
You're probably going to go Google it right now.
I just scared I'm going to get literally just pulled into a cult on accident.
Apparently, I'm in like a million cults.
Casey was just trying to wrap this up, I think.
And then Marty had to drop that.
And I'm like, well, we need another hour.
What do you mean you think you're accidentally going to get pulled into a cult?
That's true.
She was about to say that.
Well, I wanted to wrap it up because you're playing with ball deodorant in your hand.
I just wanted to see if it was actually how ball deodorant works.
You're talking about AIDS patients and you taking steroids.
I was talking about AIDS patients.
I was talking about AIDS medication.
Okay, fair.
Different thing.
Let's talk about the actual AIDS.
But I am kind of, I'm curious too about your cult thing because I get accused of being in cults all the time.
Well, when I picture the-
I didn't think you get accused of being in one singular cult.
Oh, no.
A&M.
People say A&M's a cult.
They say Hillsong's a cult
you just like to fight that huh you like to fight the a&m thing that's no i get told all the time
it's a cult regardless but i think when i'm on the black market i think i'm gonna get like a pop-up
message saying like hey and i'm obviously gonna be like hey and then i think they're gonna be like
saying something hey you should try and figure it. Like, come see this out.
I'm like, huh, what's it about?
And they're going to just rattle me into it.
And I get so interested in one thing that I'm going to be meeting this guy and I'm going to be in a cult.
Just like that, huh?
You're just that susceptible?
I'm so easily into a cult. I think my new quest in life is going to be tricking Marty into getting a cult.
You know what?
I might start a cult called Mountain Poem.
I have seven questions.
Mountain Poem.
What mountain?
The Himalayas?
A lot of nectar in the Himalayas.
Yeah?
He has told me that fact.
I strictly deal with the pink salts from there.
Where is it?
See?
I'm all jacked up.
No, don't do it, John.
I'll be in the mountains so fast.
I have a request to finish this.
We'll be sitting here forever.

I think
we're about to talk tennis.
I think from what I've seen, it's arguably the greatest tennis match of all time.
Is it?
Was it?
A hundred percent.
Because of the way it unfolded?
Because I remember that one like 10 years ago at this point, probably.
I think Michael Eisner was in it.
It was like seven hours.
John Eisner.
John Eisner.
Do you remember that one?
And they did the seven hour.
They had to play the following morning.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It got too dark.
And wasn't there a spoof on that?
What?
Who did Andy Sandberg do some sort of spoof?
Am I wrong?
I think so.
Aaron's nodding his head.
So was that, it was better than that match though?
This, this, this one, I think because of, because of the circumstances, this was in the final.
I think the John Isner wasn't one was like the first round.
But okay.
Here's my final.
And it was the two greatest. I'll give you twoner one was like the first round. This was the final and it was the two greatest.
I'll give you two of the greatest athletes of all time.
My thing is like
how can this be considered the greatest
when it's happened like 60 times
before? But there was like a fifth set time.
We need to get Hubs in here.
It's Wimbledon and the match itself probably unfolded
in a very dramatic way.
It's been the same three guys over and over.
How can any of these matchups be that different or that much more magical? in a very dramatic way, but it's just, you know, it's been the same three guys over and over. So like, how can, you know,
any of these matchups be like that different or that much more magical?
It's just like, I mean, I don't know.
I can't speak to the other ones forever watching this.
I was like, this is fucking awesome.
It was awesome.
I mean, granted it took,
it took a lot of convincing for me to get over it.
I was in bed and I was just kind of hanging out in bed,
watching some Netflix, doing a little reading.
I saw enough.
I'm so sick of Feidelberg, the book reader.
I don't like the look that he gives when he
talks about it. He thinks he's better than everybody else.
There is nothing.
I could be a billionaire and if I'm reading
a book in public, that'll make me feel so much superior
to you. We were at the bar on
Thursday night and he's just like,
I'm going to read some books this weekend.
I was like, shut the fuck up.
You asked what I was doing this weekend. I was like, I had two new books I wanted to read.
That's actually it. I said, what are you doing this weekend?
You can't say that reading a
book is something you're doing this weekend.
I knew I wasn't going to do that.
It's something that might occur.
Friday night after we went and had margaritas, did you go home and read a fucking book?
No.
You can't read when you're drunk.
You also got to be sober to read.
I almost, you know, if you watch,
I remember I used to watch Breaking Bad
drunk, because it was like Sundays
in the summer, and I'd be like, fuck,
I gotta re-watch that. You can't, like, re-read.
No. You can't be like, oh, I blacked out
three chapters.
So when I finally got up, I ended up watching
like an hour and a half of the match,
which is crazy.
In fact, I'm going to say tennis might have a time problem because it was it got to the point where it was really exciting when I first turned it on.
Oh, shit.
Guys go back and forth.
And then I just resigned myself.
OK, neither of these guys are ever going to win.
Yeah, it's going to go on forever.
This is just going to go on.
There was a match years ago that went three days long.
Yeah, we were just talking about John Isner. Yeah, I mean, that was kind of what I was referencing when people said this is like the greatest match ever.
So Hubs is in here.
He's our resident tennis guy because he's a fucking loser.
He's not a fucking loser.
People think I like – like some people like forced away into things like, oh, I saw no one was doing tennis.
No, he loves tennis.
I just like tennis.
Hubs wore a goddamn Federer hat every single fucking day for the first like two years of it.
When we were sitting next to each other at the old office,
where obviously we were still sitting next to each other at the new office,
but I remember one day looking over and he was watching some rant.
It was not a tennis majors.
Some random tennis tournament in the middle of the day.
I was like, okay, this guy's a tennis guy.
It all relates back to gambling.
Just gamble on every tennis match.
But you're a Federer stan.
Yeah.
Did you play tennis as a kid?
Recreationally.
That was always my biggest regret was not actually playing. Wait, wait, wait. That's even weirder. I played tennis. To play like as a kid? Recreationally. That was always my biggest regret was not actually playing.
Wait, wait, wait.
That's even weirder.
I played tennis.
To play like pick up tennis?
No, well, yeah.
Like at the country club.
Yeah, that's weird.
You didn't play like on a team at school.
No, I was always like late.
I was late to learning it.
Did you have other friends who were like, yeah, let's grab the racket and go play?
Yeah, we just played.
I don't think that's weird.
I think that's very weird.
I used to go to tennis camp every single summer
in my entire childhood. Were you on a team? No.
You went to tennis
camp but didn't play tennis?
Yeah, because it was always during...
Did anybody else at camp do that?
I don't know. It was a country club
tennis camp. You had no aspirations of ever playing tennis?
Well, in high school, I couldn't. I promise you, you're going to be in the
super minority. I played basketball
and I ran track and that was during the tennis season and i couldn't do both so during the summer i would go
i lived on a country club we would go to tennis camp every summer i taught tennis lessons if you're
not in organized tennis and you took lessons yeah well no i think i think you can take lessons
that's what i was not being organized but going tennis camp it was like day camp it was like
basically like lessons like all day go to camp and play tennis at camp or did but going to tennis camp. It was like day camp. It was basically like lessons all day.
Did you go to camp and play tennis at camp, or did you go to tennis camp?
I went to tennis camp.
Okay, that's weird.
It wasn't spend the night.
It was day.
You went up to the country club in the morning.
You played tennis.
You went to lunch.
You played tennis camp.
Also, I think what you're not realizing is most people don't have access to a country club.
You were describing camp.
Yeah, I get it.
You go, you do that thing.
You eat lunch, you do that thing again.
But I do think it would be weirder if I was going to
spin the night tennis camp and wasn't on a team.
It would be even weirder.
Yeah, it would be weird, but there's still plenty of fucking people.
The thing is, you know, most people...
Like, I played, I went to hockey camp.
I played hockey.
I went to basketball camp and played basketball.
Like, everybody has, you know, you grab a basketball
and you can play pickup basketball. It's like the most prevalent.
And maybe you keep your mitt and every now and then you play like, you know, softball
or some sandlot type of shit.
But like, it's not like anybody's like, oh, let me just grab the old racket and grab a
can of balls.
It's fun as hell to play.
It's not fun.
No, it's so hard.
And I don't even, most people won't even know the fucking rules.
Hubs, you and I should go play tennis.
Yeah, we should play tennis.
Let's play tennis.
I'll smoke you.
Probably.
I haven't played in a while.
I would venture to guess that you're maybe the only person in the world who did this.
What do you mean?
I mean, I also like, I hate to be like, I wasn't any good at golf during the summer.
It was like.
Why do you say during so weird?
Yeah, she says during and tennis.
Tennis.
During the summer, I played tennis.
Say during tennis camp.
No.
No. During is just new. I've ever. During I played tennis. Say during tennis camp. No. During is just new.
During?
During tennis.
During?
There you go.
Tennis.
Tennis.
You sound like, what's his name?
Chris Lilley's character.
One of the Australians.
The guy who's like.
He's got the new show on Netflix.
He did Summer Heights High.
I don't know. I don't know this guy. You know, you saw him you know yeah seven minutes into the week and i'm already getting roasted but anyways okay so here's the thing great tennis match
and i understand that it's an individual sport and in individual sports greatness is what people
love and so nobody's getting sick of these guys. But at what point, will you ever reach a point where,
and I know you're a hardcore Federer guy, so probably not for you.
But I mean, it's not like golf in the sense, it's individual,
but it's like you are still directly competing against someone in a match.
Whereas like in golf, you're playing the course.
I'm just saying you've seen Djokovic and Federer rally and volley
against each other and a billion times before.
And I know it's like the highest level of the sport,
so you can appreciate it, but it's good.
It's not getting repetition for you.
You're saying, do I like other people other than Federer?
No, I mean, I'm sure as a fan, you do like other people,
but would you rather see two new people or at least one new person?
Do you want to see Federer go up against anybody else?
Or you'd rather it just be joke?
We're still like, I can't be.
But I guess that's more of an is this more of an indictment of the rest of the young generation not stepping up?
Yeah.
Or is this more of a praise for these three guys and mostly Federer?
Because Djokovic is still pretty young?
Just continuing like a 20-year reign of dominance.
Yeah, so there was a wave of people called the next-gen wave, and they were expected to rival Djokovic, Federer, Nadal.
And they just didn't.
These guys just destroyed them all.
Are they done now?
They just have zero chance of ever winning.
Like this guy, Grigor Dimitrov.
Never heard of him.
They basically call him Baby Fed because he basically idolized Fed.
I've heard that, actually.
His entire game is molded.
Like, he looks like Fedder on the court, and he's good.
He has never, he will never even come close to winning.
Give me another name.
Give me another male stud.
There's a guy.
I know Andy Murray snuck in there and won one, right?
Oh, no.
Murray was in the top four, but he a crazy bad injury uh with his hip so how
but he's gonna be back actually he's like right his way back so he had some crazy surgery like
who else has won majors in this guy marin chilich he he's i don't know his name yeah he he won uh
what was it kevin anderson too really tall like south african dude like six ten or whatever oh
i feel like i knew of that but like super tall isn't there what you were talking about? It's the, I fuck, he's easily
my most hated guy in the world. He is such a
fucking loser. Why doesn't anyone
like Djokovic? Like, that was
crazy. So I actually like him.
I almost feel like it was like, like with
Brady Manning, it was like
at least a 50-50 split, right? When you have like two
greats, you assume at least
even like in a Super Bowl, where like even the Patriots
have been there a bunch of times. Patriots are usually the the not the underdog but the the less represented in the crowd
but it's still like 70 30 there that was 100 for federer and he loves that jokovic will he'll tell
you he'd rather be in that situation than people actually really he's a little bit of bill of a
villain right oh yeah but he's a villain why why is that because i've always liked jokovic but why
do people see him as a villain because he's so good that when he's winning, he's beating the Federer's, the Nadal's, the Djokovic's.
Sorry, he's beating the Federer's and the Nadal's.
And he's taking away from the fans who love those.
So he becomes the villain.
But he's not a bad guy.
That's what I'm saying.
Why is he a villain?
Because that's how beloved Federer and Nadal are.
That's what it comes down to.
And he's the guy that stepped in.
He was the new kid who stepped in
and just fucking started dominating.
He had a stretch a couple years ago
where he didn't win anything.
He had a weird elbow injury.
It was like, will he ever win again?
Now he's back at dominating.
But before that, he won five Grand Slams in a row.
He was ridiculous.
Federer also disappeared for a four-year stretch.
13 to 17, he didn't win any.
There was a point where I thought.
There was a real point where there was a debate who will win a major.
Who will win?
Tiger or Federer.
And I thought for sure it would be Tiger because that's how bad Federer was at.
And he came back and he's won like multiple.
Yeah, he must have seen like Kobe's German doctor or something like that.
I was going to say, is there a drug problem in tennis?
Like could any of these guys be juicing?
I mean, Sharapova was the only one.
And she's basically been shunned by everybody.
No one even wants to play with her anymore.
So Andy Murray,
he's coming back and he's playing doubles right now until he gets
in better shape to play singles.
And Sharapova was like, you want to play with me? He was like, no.
Wow. She's being completely shunned.
When Federer doesn't talk to you,
that's like the number one.
I don't know if you saw that Kyrgios guy that I've blogged about
but he's a fucking head case
and he'll scream in the court
and everyone hates him
Federer actually respects him
like he's like
yeah he's different for the game
he brings attention
Federer doesn't like Sharapova
he's like get the fuck out of here
who is the guy
wait maybe
this is who we're talking about
who's the guy who did that
like little sneaky
Kyrgios
yeah you saw that
he's different
he like was ready to serve it
and he just did like
a little underhand
he does like
just skipped over the net
it was like
it's like almost like bouncing in beer pong and it you know it's a gentleman's sport you're supposed to like play by it, and he just did a little underhand. He just skipped over the net. It's almost like bouncing in beer pong.
It's a gentleman's sport.
You're supposed to play by the rules, and he's like, I don't give a fuck.
He's like the Barstool.
Which is kind of cool.
I do like that.
He's different.
Tennis is so boring.
He brings excitement to it.
Yeah, okay.
I like him.
He's my favorite tennis player, officially.
He should be.
He won't win.
And he also has a talent.
Where's he from?
Australia.
Okay.
He has the talent to win every single match. I spit on you. I'm sorry. Okay. He has the talent to win every single match.
I spit on you.
I'm sorry, Jared.
He has the talent to win every single match ever.
He just doesn't give a fuck.
Well, that's not great.
He has said before that he wishes he was an NBA player.
He said he hates tennis.
It's weird that I saw his Twitter bio.
I think so many athletes are like that.
It's about the Celtics.
He's like, I thought he was going to be American.
Huge Celtic guy.
He should almost go on mixtape.
He'd be a great mixtape guest.
But he went on
a podcast like three weeks
ago, four weeks ago. Trash Nadal,
Trash Djokovic. Said Djokovic
is cringe. Djokovic does this
weird celebration where he gives his heart to the crowd
and is cringeworthy.
It's not cringeworthy. It's terrible.
He gives his heart to the crowd?
No, I get it. That's cringeworthy.
He turns to every side of the stadium and gives his heart to the crowd. He turns to every side of the stadium and gives his heart.
Casey, when she likes something, that's it.
She'll defend all of it to the death.
She's ride or die for whatever she picks.
So that guy could do the worst thing ever.
He does the worst thing ever.
Gives his heart to the crowd.
So he called him out for it.
Oh, God, what an asshole.
Yeah, kind of.
Can't believe that.
I can't believe this, but the
lines are lighting up for tennis calls.
Wow. So let's do a few people
here, and then I do want to get back to the
idea of whether or not
it's good for the sport, bad for the sport,
interesting for our tennis fans, because I
don't get it, but I'm also not
a golf or a tennis guy.
This is cool. Everyone's talking tennis.
I know, you must be.
You're talking about that. If that math was anybody else,
I wouldn't definitely,
I would never turn it on.
So you're talking about growing the game.
Like I like that match.
I don't know if I'll tune into the next one.
No,
I'm actually thinking more if I was,
if I was a diehard tennis fan,
I mean,
it's kind of like circular because if I was diehard tennis fan,
I probably would appreciate individual greatness, in which case i would appreciate watching all those guys
but if i was i'm thinking about it more for yes the casual fan and new fans just having the story
of absolute greatness helps but if i watched every i mean i saw the the wikipedia page has
these blocks of the four majors every year and And it's just them for a huge portion.
And I'm like,
aren't you guys even somewhat sick of this?
But it doesn't seem that way.
It's just so good every time.
It's never a dull moment.
But even that is like,
it's like two of the greatest doing what they did for five hours.
Like that's not going to be boring because it's the same people.
It's just so ridiculous the way that match happens.
It's also not boring.
It's not like,
oh wow.
These,
you know,
like you see two wrestlers,
like the Undertaker still wrestling. It's like, Jesus Christ, what are we doing here? It's also not boring. It's not like, oh, wow. You see two wrestlers. The Undertaker's still wrestling.
It's like, Jesus Christ, what are we doing here?
It's not like that. Because they still are playing
at a high level. It's like it's 2010.
This is going to be an even more ignorant statement
as a non-tennis fan, but
the actual play of tennis,
the highlights, let's say,
it's like, to me,
they don't seem very different ever.
I think you need to be watching live. Because I have the same way with the highlights. Because it's like, me they don't seem very different ever it's like i think you need to be watching
live because i either sit away with the highlights yeah because it's like oh an ace it's like he got
the serve by him or like oh that was a good rally and he like he snuck it by him and like you know
you see a great uh like a great jumper you see a great dunk you see a great block you see a great
home run strikeout web jam there's a lot more going on in these sports at least again as like a novice whereas to me it's just like i i don't i don't think there yeah i don't think tennis translates
to highlights yeah unless you get like that fucking fancy between the legs if you ever go
back on youtube you need to feel attention like yeah it's it's just you watch federer drop one of
his uh tweeners where he's not even looking at the court where it's hitting between his legs
he's hit that a couple times in US Open
big matches and it's like, how is that even
fucking possible? If you get
got on a between the legs
trick shot in the middle of a major, you should probably
just lay down your racket and fuck fuck.
Let's talk to someone.
Yeah, this is wild. Let's start.
We'll just go right down the order in line here.
Greg from Ohio.
Hey guys.
I'm glad we got hubs on because hubs.
That makes one of us. That's a tennis match.
I guess.
Especially not two with Jared.
But so when it went 4-2 in the fifth set
and Djokovic had the chance to basically just end it
and Federer
took the offset
and then came back, tied it up
that's what made the match great
if it had just been back and forth
back and forth
I think it wouldn't have been claimed
the best match ever
I still don't even know if it was the best match ever
2008
Nadal-Federer will pretty much always be the best match ever.
But, yeah, you're right.
The breaks in the fifth set, for sure,
especially when Federer got broken again later on when he was starting for the match.
That just made it ridiculous.
Yeah, I agree.
Yeah, for sure.
Otherwise, it would have been very repetitive and like, oh, what are we doing here?
Nick from Bayonne.
Oh, hey, what's up?
I got caught off guard.
First of all, you were talking about the highlight reels for tennis before.
You want to look at a highlight reel, go look at Gale Monfils on YouTube.
He's absolutely nuts.
And second of all, what I called in for, I really guarantee if you went to a U.S. Open, you'd have the time of your life.
Oh, yeah, I believe that.
I've never gone this year.
I believe that.
I'm not like a tennis hater.
I also think that,
doesn't the US Open have a feel of like,
it's a very cool social event almost,
like high society.
You get very, very drunk.
Yeah, famous people there,
people are boozing.
Last year, there's one of the,
he's going to retire,
this Argentinian guy,
Juan Martin Del Potro.
He was one of our,
he's beaten,
he's won Grand Slams before,
but he was, it was all his buddies went.
I think about it, he wouldn't get married or bachelor party or something, but his tennis box was just 15 guys.
And he's like, I won't see you until I'm eliminated from the tournament.
He ended up going to like, he beat Nadal.
And they just were getting blackout drunk every single time.
Like the UTA or whatever it's called, they must not like that, right?
They like it to be very prissy.
The U.S. Open's a little different.
Or is that more when the Wimbledon...
Wimbledon is so...
Dude, you can't even wear
colored underwear at Wimbledon.
You literally get...
Oh, the players.
Yeah, you get in the crowd.
I was like...
I like to wear whatever underwear I want.
I like to wear underwear
when you come in.
No, but they're so strict.
I don't even know, honestly,
if it's a...
Because it's such a bunch of rich people.
It almost seems like it's the Kentucky Derby of like tennis out there.
Would that be safe to call it the Masters of Tennis?
Yes, for sure.
Like the most prestigious going to go on forever.
But the U.S. Open, just all out drinking affair.
It's Wimbledon, your number one on your bucket list.
No, U.S. Open.
I've never been to the U.S. Open.
So I've never been to a live tennis match.
So I just never find the time.
And also, don't live in the city. I will be finally living in the city. So I'll go to the U.s open so i want i've never been to a live tennis match so i just never i never find the time and also don't live the city i will be finally living in the city so i'll i'll go to
the u.s open this year i could see uh the u.s open being so like i i would not want to go to a
regular tennis match i certainly would not want to go to somewhere where you're supposed to be
like quiet and shit like that i hate that about i mean you have to be always quiet during the
points obviously like you can scream whatever but like they get extra rowdy to you.
It's much like a golf or,
you know,
poor noise.
It is like ways to save golf.
And like,
there was the one hole where you can be like super rowdy.
I think it would be great if people could be rowdy in the middle of play.
But also it's not like golf in the,
like there are enough times to be rowdy.
I almost like in the crowd noise of tennis silence in my
hour and a half of watching um to a hockey game where it is like a regular season hockey game
where there's like silence and you're watching there's a big hit you scream you know when i
shot oh shit like it's it you know obviously playoffs are a different animal but the like
regular season hockey game felt like it had the same iterations of cheering
as tennis. I feel like if tennis didn't have
the silence where you can actually hear the rally,
it wouldn't be as cool to watch either. I like that.
I like the pop of the ball.
I became a tennis expert. I could tell
when Federer fisted it, I was like,
oh, that's going out.
I know.
This doesn't have a shot.
The squeaking on the hard court,
the pop, all good.
And I know this is more of the women's side, and I know it's cliche, but the groaning, grunting, it does get to me. That doesn't do a thing.
It's like a silent assassin.
Love it.
That's Fed's new nickname.
Love it.
He was like, he even joked, he was just like, ugh.
And then just quiet back.
Ugh.
Love that.
See, I feel like that's some mental shit.
Like, this is even fucking hard.
Yeah, I'm not even breaking a sweat over here that's we talked about this before the show the fact that they can
do that for five hours to the ability that they can and then he doesn't even look like he's worked
out is insane to me oh yeah i played casual crazy to me for 20 minutes two years ago i'm still sorry
i tweeted this yesterday and i understand i didn't put anything about wimbledon in there but i said
imagine playing a sport non-stop for five hours and not
dying and the amount of people that tweeted
back about golf or about
baseball players
I'm like listen like I understand
golf oh people
are like uh yeah it's called playing golf or
I got a lot of well Major League Baseball
players do it for 162 games
I'm not taking away how tired baseball players
get I'll take it away from you.
Baseball is a very stop and start.
I'm a big baseball guy.
Come on.
It is not the same.
If you are a DH, you are fucking hanging out for five straight hours a night.
That is –
When you're really sitting –
A DH is arguably the greatest job on earth,
considering some of the money you can make
and how little effort you have to put in like a long basis.
I know you got to work out and all that shit, but I'm saying when it's time to go you can also be fat as a baseball
player like looking like bartolo colon or any of that you can't be fat as a tennis player the only
thing i can think of with tennis that's like maybe comparable is like running a marathon
honestly for five hours i think playing one-on-one But that also was a long match, right? What's the average match?
A couple hours? Three-ish?
So the majors are five sets, the
non-majors are three sets. But a five-set
match, yeah, like three hours, whatever.
And it's one-on-one. If it goes five sets.
I was crazy impressed with the ball boys. They do
hour shifts, apparently.
Have they been out there running
for four and a half hours? They do hour shifts,
apparently. But even then, that's a lot of fucking running.
Yeah, those guys.
The ball boys are always good for like once a year.
There's a great highlight of one of them getting hit or falling over or some shit like that.
That kid took it to the nuts this year, I think.
Oh, yeah.
The one my favorite of all time is the kid tripping right before the wall.
And he like smashes you in the face.
That kid, I feel like he broke his neck.
Dylan. No, he got up he broke his neck. Dylan.
He got up and just wore it.
He got up and just wore it.
Well, that's the thing.
They feel like, I feel like those kids are so petrified that they're like going to be
shamed or fired or murdered.
I think it's killing them.
I feel like there's a sniper on the roof and just pow, you're taken right out in the middle
of the moment.
Dylan from New York, what do you got on Wembley Don?
Here we go.
So like with tennis, like I get why people say
like it's like boring
and all that,
but like there's like
different aspects of it.
Like I used to play tennis
in college and like
when it was a hot day,
I'd be like,
fuck this.
If I lost the first set,
I'm like,
that's it,
I'm done.
They're like playing it.
I just was like,
I was good at it.
So I was like,
fuck it,
whatever.
I don't think...
There's different tournaments
and stuff like the US Open is like amazing. It's the easiest place to like pick up it, whatever. I don't think... There's different tournaments and stuff. The US Open is amazing.
It's the easiest place to pick up girls, surprisingly.
It's an awesome time.
It's crazy.
I don't think people think of...
I don't think of tennis as boring.
Golf, I feel like, stereotypically has a boring factor to it.
I don't know what it is about tennis.
It doesn't feel like a very American sport.
I don't think it's something... Except for Weirdo Smith over there. I don't think you it is about tennis. It doesn't feel like a very American sport. I don't think it's something except for
Weirdo Smith over there.
I don't think you grow up playing it so you can't
really relate.
I guess the fact that women...
You went to tennis camp without ever having any desire
to play tennis. I'm about to sound like an asshole.
It was only because we lived at a country club.
And not many people are going to have that life.
That's fine.
So you're weird. We did that too.
I mean, we have all summer.
We didn't go to summer school.
My parents were like, please get out of the house.
We'll send you to tennis camp.
We'll send you to the pool.
We'll send you to basketball camp.
They sent me to any camp they possibly could to get me out of the house.
I don't know.
I don't understand.
That's weird.
That's weird.
Well, it's just usually you take the step to go to a camp.
No, I loved it.
A camp is usually in preparation to grow and get better to play on your team. Like 98% of those people went on to go play high school tennis No, I loved it. A camp is usually in preparation to grow and get better
to play on your team.
Like 98% of those people
went on to go play
high school tennis.
Oh, for sure.
Yeah.
99.9%.
Everybody's the only person
who sees 2%.
That makes it weird.
I got paid to give
tennis lessons in high school.
You didn't play?
God damn weirdo.
You are so weird.
I can't believe
during high school
you played tennis
and didn't play on a team.
That is just the –
He taught the game, though.
Here, here.
Ramsey from Georgia.
He wants to talk about tennis camp.
Ramsey, did you go to tennis camp but also play tennis,
or were you just like Casey?
Oh, I'm just like Casey, and you guys are sleeping on tennis camp so hard.
Let's go.
Let's go, baby.
Let's go.
Listen, this is a southern
thing for sure you guys get like two months of good weather up north so you guys don't necessarily
understand tennis is in a lot of neighborhoods in the south it's tennis and swim if your parents
are out of college they take you to tennis camp and they make you do swim lessons after okay
preach they can just keep drinking but did you never play it on a team oh absolutely not and
let me tell you why you know how many hot girls when you're 10 years old are going to tennis camp with you
and you're somewhat athletic?
You look like a god in their eyes.
It was sweet.
And people, I'm telling you, you get dropped off, 9 o'clock, you get a little lunch,
you get picked up at 2, and you're good to go.
You get a little sun, you play a little sports, and you're talking to girls the whole time.
Ramsey, listen, you just pitched me.
It sounds great, but I'm just saying I don't care.
It's not norm.
It's not the norm.
He has a great point in there.
It's hard.
It's it's hot for like nine months out of the year.
You have you do more things outside down there.
And like if your parents are already going to be at the country club or whatever, your dad's working like that's just something that you went and did.
I mean, I took tennis camp with a lot of people who didn't play
high school tennis i don't i don't also i did have a tennis camp boyfriend every year so ramsay's
right was he 13 well i was also 13 you asshole so you're seven so yeah this should be interesting
ryan tennis and the mets how does that go? Hey guys, how you doing? Good.
Good. So yeah, a great experience.
I'm an amateur tennis fan.
You're novice. I like sports in
general, but go to a Mets game,
get nice and drunk,
walk across that sky bridge there
or whatever it's called. Go see the
US Open and you've got
the entire day to walk around.
You've got a little pre-baseball buzz
on. You can see all the amateur players.
I don't like the way you say amateur.
You're doing
a disservice
to the sport.
If I was Hubs,
if I was trying to grow the game,
amateur is really not great.
Neither is tennis, but it's not
as bad as amateur. Amateur is a big golf thing. When they say, but it's not as bad as amateur.
Amateur is a big golf thing.
When they say golf, it's a lot of amateur championships.
That's terrible.
So work on that, Ryan.
Say it like we fucking say it, porn.
It's amateur.
Would you run around and say amateur porn?
Oh, my God.
Hang on.
I'm coming around.
I'm calling it amateur porn.
I like amateur porn.
It's amateur porn.
She's an amateur.
I'm going to start saying amateur porn, and people are going to think I'm talking about something, like, way different.
Because that's the shit I haven't even heard of.
Amateur porn.
Speaking of porn, a Bella Danger's answer to the internet.
It's going to end up being, like, the most viewed video on YouTube.
It's going to beat Tommy Bit My Finger or whatever.
So go watch that.
I think it's got 700,000 views in, like, the last day.
It's getting 100,000 views per hour.
Have you put that on Pornhub or any other thing?
No, so I'm talking to her now.
I'm like, now my wheels are spinning.
I'm like, we need to do some sort of...
I feel like that's where the views are at.
I need a belladanger to make a full-blown answer to the internet porn.
We're like, as she's having sex, we answer the question.
Okay.
Kevin, that's a great idea.
I don't know if I want to be in the room.
We got to be full-blown amateur porn directors.
We got to be in the room handing her the cards while it goes down.
That would be very funny.
Can you not just get that video on Pornhub?
Believe me, I got – so, I mean, she's now officially part of the Million Views Club,
the very exclusive hall of fame where only Theo Vaughn is currently in it.
So she's got to make like an acceptance speech video.
And I'm like, you know, there's some endless possibilities here.
If you really want to dig deep, Abella, literally.
Back to tennis.
We got Bill from Alabama.
What do you got on Djokovic?
Hi, Kevin.
Again, Casey here to support you a little bit more.
This is definitely the norm for the South.
Sorry, Kevin, not everything that you think
is the norm is the norm.
Not everybody lives in New York.
Sorry, Bill.
Nobody gives a fuck about the South.
Come on, Bill.
You guys can have all the...
Everybody gives a fuck about the South.
No, no, they literally don't.
They absolutely don't.
You go play tennis, you have your lunch,
you get your club sandwich, you get slushies,
you go to the pool.
Why is everyone in the fucking...
Yeah, I assume he ate lunch.
Everyone's gotta fucking bring up their lunch break.
No, it was a big deal.
No, no, no, it was a big deal.
Because it was a big deal. The first guy goes, you get dropped
up at nine, you have your lunch.
He was like, you play tennis and we have lunch.
Yeah, I assume you eat all your fucking meals.
Yeah, also, by the way, I know
how fucking camp and shit works.
I'm saying it's weird that you did all that and then never tried to play on a team.
No, okay.
I just assumed you weren't good enough.
I don't know.
We play tennis for a bit, then we drink some water, then we play tennis.
You get all your nutrients.
Understood.
Thank you, Bill.
John, I'd like to fill you up.
John, John, John, going back to this, I'd like to hear your points on your time constraints here
because I, too, being a tennis fan, would like the game to be set up a little bit like Portnoy's golf thing.
I'd like to just pick your weird brain
and figure out how you want to speed up this game a little bit more
because watching that for five and a half hours yesterday about killed me.
So I'll hang up and let you guys enjoy it.
I don't think I'm well-versed enough in the sport to give ideas on how to speed up the game yet.
The women only do three sets, right?
Right.
No matter what.
I know by the end of that, I was like, I've had enough.
Yeah.
And I missed four hours.
They're starting to do something where it's two sets.
They're starting to do two sets, and then it's just a 10-point tiebreaker.
There's no third set.
It's just a 10-point tiebreaker.
I mean, I'll be honest.
We should make it way quicker.
Yeah, but I don't like that.
There are two things in the sports world where I'm – like when you guys start speaking gambling talk,
it's like a whole vocabulary.
I don't even know.
I can't even keep up.
And it's almost the same thing when you talk about tennis scoring.
It's like the tie break set advantage, break points.
Trent texted me in the second set.
He goes, what's happening right now?
He's like, is there a website you could just break it down for him?
And I tried to do it through text, and he kind of got it.
I get the initial – I don't – I get the initial game scoring, right?
15, 30, 40.
And also that.
It goes by 15, but then it goes by 10.
It goes 15, 30, 10.
The guys were assholes.
I made it.
It's very simple.
And then, of course, love is silly.
I didn't understand.
So you have to win a match?
No, match is the full thing.
So a set.
So you have to win a set.
Game, set, match, right?
Set by two?
Yeah, it's a six.
If it's tied at six, tie break.
Okay.
And then that's just the seven points.
So you can win seven to five.
And then tie break, you have to win by four?
No, two.
It's just the seven points.
This is like, ah.
But it can keep going on.
It's the seven.
Seven points.
Okay, that's where, okay.
So I was like.
And they alternate.
Every two, you switch.
But Djokovic won by four then, right?
Yeah.
He won seven, three?
Yeah.
Okay.
I guess if, you know, you're talking to
some newcomer and you're explaining football
and you get a set of downs and you gotta move 10 yards
and you get a first down and a field goal is three
and a touchdown is six. I guess
that would be equally as crazy. But to me,
when you start talking tennis, I'm like, they just
overcomplicated this from the jump.
If you play it,
it's one of those things where once you play one
match or even if you just play a set. Or just go to a summary. No, but it's one of those things where once you play one match or even if you just play a set.
Or just go to a summer game.
No, but it's one of those scoring where you have to be.
Definitely those club sandwiches.
Once you play it, then the scoring is way easier to understand.
It's like playing a drinking game, right?
I can try to explain it to you, or we can just play it, and you'll understand it.
I think it was reversed for me.
I would watch it, and I'd be like, oh, this is cool.
Let's go play it.
And I'd take my buddy, Jesse.
We'd go to the rec center, we'd just play for like three hours.
Shout out Jesse.
No, because we'd watch a sick match and be like, well, let's go do that.
Same thing with golf. You see Tiger golf, you're like, oh, I want to go play around.
No, I'm saying to understand the scoring.
Yeah.
Yeah, understanding the scoring. I feel like you can sit here and try to explain it or you can just go do it once and it's easier to understand. I think it's, uh, it must be one of those sports too, where you, maybe you're a weirdo
and you pick up your racket and you want to just go play pickup tennis like you and Jesse.
But I'd imagine, I bet it's one of those things where you watch it on TV and you're like,
I could kind of do that.
And then you get on the court and you're like, I am such a spaz.
You know, you're, you're, you're either not, all your serves are either like out of bounds
or they are like looping, lobbing, shittiness.
You got to love your hands.
Yeah, right.
Serving is so hard.
It is even harder when the ball is up in the air.
You have to slam it.
You will never get it done.
Right, right, right.
You like take that for granted when you watch like Djokovic misses a slam, which he's terrible at.
It's the worst thing he's at.
You're like, oh, what an idiot.
He spaz.
You try to do it.
It's like, I will never actually do this.
We should have a Barstool sports tennis camp.
We should have a ping pong table. That's what we need. We need a ping pong table should have a Barstool sports tennis camp. We should have a ping pong table.
That's what we need.
We need a ping pong table.
We're going to go to a tennis camp.
We're going to eat cup sandwiches.
We could do a tennis camp too, though.
Yeah.
I'm down.
Edward from Baton Rouge has a take.
All right.
All right.
Look, I feel like as a kid, you might have done this before, and you might have gone
and played tennis somewhere.
But, you know, I've seen that video of you doing a three-ton drill, and you look like an athletic piece of shit.
So there's no way you were good at any sport as a kid,
which might be part of the reason why you are so against this.
I'm not against it.
I don't hate tennis.
I'm talking about what –
Yeah, you're very complimentary, not complimentary, but open to the idea.
I've said it's not boring.
I actually think it's a very hard and intricate sport.
I'm saying that I just think it's interesting that tennis fans are okay with just three guys.
There's no parody, really.
There's no newcomers.
I think parody is overrated.
I think I'm done with parody.
You know what it is?
I don't think the word is right.
I don't want parody.
I want new.
I don't want Alabama to be bad at football.
I didn't like when the Yankees weren't good. I would be okay with Tiger. I don't want parody. I'd at football. Yeah, I mean, I'm totally okay with it. I didn't like when the Yankees weren't good.
I would be okay with Tiger.
I don't want Perry.
I'd be okay with Tiger winning every single major.
But again, I'm okay with these things from an amateur point of view.
Because I don't care about Andy Murray or any other guys who are even kind of good.
But for you guys to not care is weird to me.
What were you going to say, John?
I was going to say I was shocked to see Andy Roddick on the list of biggest Wimbledon matches.
I was like, oh, he played Fed and it was like he played Fed and was an unbelievable.
It was like 1614 in the final.
Do you think he would?
I'm going to ask this question as we go to break.
Do you think my opinion would change if Americans were better?
And that is exactly what I'll agree with.
Pete Sampras is like the biggest name.
No, Augustine was American.
Andre I.C., Sampras, Michael Chung, was it?
Yeah, Chung.
Yeah.
We'll be back after the break.
More tennis talk.
I love British rappers.
No!
Yeah.
No.
Yeah, I've totally never heard of them.
I used to fuck him.
I hate him.
Tiny Tempa? I love it. I hate that guy. I hate the British around on it. I used to fuck it. I hate him. Tiny Tempa?
I love it.
I hate that guy.
I hate the British accent in rappers.
It just drives me fucking bananas.
And it sucks because I love this song otherwise.
The beat's so fire.
A regular rapper would be great.
But this accent is just terrible.
I definitely used to be like that.
Almost like the milk chocolate to dark chocolate flip switch.
Dark chocolate.
It's so much better.
It's so much better.
And I used to hate it.
And then like one day, it was just like, bam, I love dark chocolate.
You guys are throwing shade at my man Stormzy.
No, I love Stormzy.
I hate all British rappers.
I hate the accent.
I wish that you could have seen Zaz's face when you started doing that.
I thought something horrible happened.
I could hear it in my ear, but I was talking to Joey Langone at the same time.
So once I stopped talking, I was like, wait, hold on.
They're throwing that dude's delivery.
Have you heard that?
Have you heard shut up?
Nope.
Cause he's got an accent and I ain't fucking trying.
Next break.
I'm not even saying like he might be the greatest lyricist ever.
I just, the accent on a rap record.
I don't know what it is.
It just doesn't translate to me i fucking loathed it
it's just it's just something new now like it's just it's just new it's a little different i don't
know what it is it's like it's like i think of english people as like wimbledon and like high
society not fucking rappers you know yeah you're gonna high t you're not gonna high T. You offended Zah. I did. I did offend Zah.
Hour number two here on CCK featuring Jared, the Rocket Carabas.
He is a World Series champion.
He is a national baseball writer here at Barstool Sports,
runs one of the most successful digital shows in baseball history.
He's got a great haircut.
He's got some new red shoes. He's got a couple haircut. He's got some new red shoes.
He's got a couple new leather jackets, a couple pairs of blazers, some nice pants.
We were talking about the Jared turnaround today.
The glow up. It's very interesting. It's real.
The problem is...
You wore athletic shorts
and black shoes and you were like
dressing up as stupid. Yeah, that's the problem.
You were very anti your whole look
now.
It was a very fast turnaround too. Where dressing up is stupid. Yeah, that's the problem. You were very anti your whole look now. Yeah.
It was a very fast turnaround, too.
But it almost makes you think, or maybe it doesn't, maybe it should make you think,
that other things that you're bashing right now you might like in a couple years.
Like Game of Thrones.
Like what?
I don't know what it is.
You never know what it's going to be, but you were so adamant like,
no, I like to have a shaved head and I don't want to dress up and I don't want to do this and that. I didn't knock people that did it.
I just didn't want to do it myself.
Yeah, but you're always very firm in your own opinions.
I'm sure if you say, hey, do you want to look better?
The answer is yes.
It's just, do you want to put in the time and do you have the money to look better?
The answer was no.
The money is always a big difference.
For sure.
Once you can afford some nicer clothes, a couple extra pairs of shoes that, you know, it's extras that you wouldn't.
Correct.
It's not bare minimum.
But like, but like your, your hair and your beard are probably things you were very stuck
in the mud on.
And now you're like, okay, yeah.
The hair is a lazy thing too.
It's like you wake up and now I'm ready to go.
I don't have to do anything.
Well, what, what changed your, the money we understand.
I don't fucking know.
Like I just one day, like I just stopped like getting my haircut.
I just was like lazy for that. I was just lazy for that.
I was too lazy to go to the fucking barbershop.
My thing, I think the impetus for everybody out there should be once you hit 30 or even late 20s,
if you got it, you should show it because you look around.
It's like a nice set of titties.
Yeah.
You got tits on your head, basically.
Show that cleavage off.
You look around.
That's what hair is just head titties
The way he said it too
It's like a nice set of titties
I just happened to be looking right at him
When he said it too
What a weirdo
But he's dead ass right
You look around at some girls
Who are unfortunately maybe a little flat chested
And you're like man that sucks
So you know what I've been blessed with these So here are my tits You look around at some girls who are unfortunately maybe a little flat chested and you're like, man, that sucks. So you know what?
I've been blessed with these.
So here are my tits.
You look around at some of your friends and your coworkers who are late 20s, early 30s.
They start to go and you know it just sucks for them.
You see the world is all about hair growth stimulus.
We got the Fleischman Salon gummies going.
Everybody's trying to grow their hair.
And if you're blessed with it, you should let that shit flow.
I mean, I was late to the party, I guess.
And I'll say this.
It helps with pictures, too,
man. It looks like you were a couple inches taller than all those
baseball players.
I fucking tower over Ben Attendee.
That was white.
I looked at that picture, and I was like, it's going to be tough for the haters.
Or did your hair?
My eyeballs were above his forehead.
I turned into a goddamn scientist.
I was like fucking factored in.
So I was like, Ben and Tendi's this goddamn small.
It started making me worry for the future.
Small guys get hurt a lot.
Well, is he small?
Or are you just huge, Jared?
I mean, we know the answer to that one.
What?
Like the number one thing that I get all the time when people meet me in
person,
they're like,
Oh,
I thought you'd be shorter.
It's like,
they're like this fake narrative that I'm short is insane.
Well,
everybody says that.
I'm just average height.
I'm not tall.
I'm not short.
You would never see me walking down the street and be like,
that guy's a fucking midget.
Be like,
no,
like there's just an average guy.
Speaking of midgets,
how about the bagel boss going?
Like he's no,
he's too self-aware. Oh yeah. No, nogets, how about the bagel boss going like, he's too self-aware.
I'm not pro bagel boss at all.
But it's like, I almost feel like even in his self-awareness,
he is not aware.
He's not aware.
Yeah.
He's selling shirts.
He's having this one video where he's just watching his video
and yelling at it.
You still think this is cool that we're laughing laughing with you but he goes to walk out the
door and like he like maybe his forehead is above the handle you put oh my god and it's like you're
a regular dude man are you fucking kidding me you're that short you're just a human being who's
that i i mean i totally get his like his anger and everything because it's that short. Yeah.
But I saw.
I mean, I don't get his racism.
No, no, of course not.
But I understand his darkness.
Oh, yeah.
And super homophobic.
He had a quote where it was like, are you racist?
He's like, I have black friends.
But I mean, if someone were to steal my wallet who's black, sure, that word will leave my mouth.
I'm like, Jesus Christ. He said that?
Holy shit. He throws around the homophobic F word a lot.
Jeez.
Well, I mean, like, that happens in stand-up all the time.
Yeah, like, you still might throw the F word.
In stand-up?
Yeah.
I think it's super different when you're arguing with someone.
Well, yeah, when you're saying it, like, being in, if you're, like, angry and saying it,
it's different from using it for communication.
Yeah, I think that's an apples and oranges situation.
He's using it as an anger.
I mean, what do you look at that guy and say he's not using it as an anger?
I think you might drop the F word trying to like insult someone and not necessarily be full blown homophobic.
That guy is full blown homophobic.
I think if you say the N word, you are a full blown racist.
Oh, yeah.
Like if you were pissing me off and you were in an argument, I was like, you fucking F word.
I wouldn't be like, I hate gay people.
It's more like I'm just trying to be rude and say something nasty.
No, but that guy hates gay people.
Yeah, that might be the case with him.
I don't know.
That guy sucks.
He already has like T-shirts and stuff.
Yeah, I mean, that's worse.
In my opinion, worse than the homophobia and the racism is the like, just the shilling for just the.
You were the viral video of the day.
The whoring yourself out.
There's no shelf life beyond 48 hours for that.
You say that about Longneck.
You know Longneck has 2.3 million followers on Instagram?
That is bananas.
I mean, this guy's got 8,000.
Yeah, no, I'm just playing.
Longneck was this guy of two years ago.
He wasn't as rude and offensive, but he was just like, he made a funny video one day.
So was Frank Fleming.
But we hired him. I know. That's the point, though. So was Frank Fleming. We hired him.
I know. That's the point, though.
We almost hired this guy.
Very close. Dave was on the verge.
Until he realized he was an actual crazy person.
If there was not
any homophobic and racist videos,
which I know is a big but,
but if those didn't come to light even,
he would have been hired on Friday.
That's insane.
He wanted him to do interviews.
Oh, Frankie's.
I don't know.
Did Frankie go public without that story?
I haven't heard it.
He Frankie ended up getting in touch with him, like having to pay money on the Internet
to get his phone number.
Oh, that's pathetic.
Dave wanted him to do interviews with a girl, like have the girls, talk to him about like his dating profile and stuff like that.
Cause that's where it all stemmed from.
And he wanted him to do like a rant of the day or he would just like,
and actually I think what he really wanted.
And that's just the vibe right now with Portnoy and his employees.
I think he just wanted him to chew out like people at Barstool,
just like flip on them.
So I'd hit him.
Also,
I don't know.
It's almost like when I used to do spin class, I would only go to the women or the gay guys.
Because if a straight guy was yelling at me, I'd be like, dude, get the fuck out of my face.
I will ride this bike at my own pace.
If this dude just started coming up and yelling at me, I'd hug him.
I would love a final bar to just uppercut him.
I could kick his ass in that.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
I don't think that he would have started yelling at you guys unless one of you guys stood up for us.
The problem, if that would have actually happened, is he would have come in here and just started screaming at me, Rhea, Fran, Ellie, Kate.
That's what he would have done.
I think that guy would last less than a day in this office before someone hits him.
Yeah.
I would love.
He would have said something horrible to one of us.
Somebody would have stood up and just been doing a disaster.
You and Liz, like, get a couple of tall girls around here
and just let Bagel Boss just go
berating you guys. I'd watch.
I'd watch. I would watch Bagel Boss
fucking chew out Casey Smith.
See, you say that, Kevin. You know what, though?
You say that. I think that if somebody was
actually chewing me out for real
and it wasn't a funny thing, that you would not like that.
Meh, maybe.
It's funny. You can say it.
You're a little
nerd. I bully you.
You know what I would like to do?
I would like to do one of those
hidden camera things where I would be
in the bagel boss's ear telling him what
to say to Casey. That would be fun.
But he would do it out of a hateful place
in his heart. You don't. He doesn't know you enough
to hate you though.
She's a woman. place in his heart. You don't. He doesn't know you enough to hate you, though. That's why.
He hates all women.
She's a woman.
He does.
She's tall.
It's over.
He sees her hair on her chest.
He knows.
She sees her hair on her chest.
Oh.
Her tits. He means like long hair.
I was like, what are you talking about?
I don't have hair on my face.
I meant her boobs.
No, but you know how that sounds.
You said hair on her chest.
Like that's what that sounds like.
Oh, no, no, no.
It's not her.
JC doesn't have a hairy chest.
I sure don't.
That is a huge fact.
Can you imagine if he did come in here and Liz is 5'9", I'm like 5'8", 5'9".
We both wore like six inch stilettos.
Oh, that would be great.
He just lost his mind.
Although.
Zod, you ever think about maybe rough and rowdy with this guy?
Oh.
Just beat the shit out of him.
I'd be excellent.
You would beat the fuck out of him.
I'd be down.
I'd be down.
Get a nice paycheck.
You'll be like the hero.
First of all, we can play up the racial angle.
You'll be a hero of the internet
for rational people everywhere.
I don't like how we went about
representing our people.
That would actually
maybe be the end of Rufferati though because if that guy was beating
Zaha, it would be WB.
I would jump in.
Let me tell you something.
Fellas,
you know what? I get it.
You want to make sure your boy is good.
I promise you, we will not have to
worry about that. Zah would beat the
fuck out of that guy. I don't think
I'd be necessary, but if I was in the
stands, I'd come running down. And Zah, you could
have a bunch of six-foot women just come in with you.
That's my walk-in squad.
You know what?
If we had the way they used to carry the pharaoh on their shoulders on a throne,
give Casey, and then we're walking him out.
I know.
You've got to find women that make me look short.
You've got to find girls that are like – or just like volleyball players or whatever.
Or supermodels.
What if you have a bunch of 6'2 supermodels just carrying a meat figure?
And we have the crowd just showers mini bagels.
I love this idea.
I can see Zah beating Bagel Boy into the ground like in a cartoon.
He just goes into the ground because Zah just smashes him on his tiny little head somebody needs to give dave this idea there you go bagel
man if you're out there rough and rowdy i mean i mean bro he's out there and he's gonna want
attention this is entirely possible i saw he had like his first tweet which was like i am the real
bagel boss or whatever and i and clem sent it to me and it, in the screenshot, it said Frank Fleming retweeted. And,
uh,
and I was just thinking that, uh,
Clem had said to me like,
how problematic would a podcast between these two,
like,
and I was just thinking of them as like the,
the internet Avengers of some sort,
like the misfits are banding together.
Like here's,
he had his one viral day.
This guy had his viral day. They're all coming
together. That would be
a dynamic duo for the ages.
The second that I saw his video,
though, I was like, it's only a matter of time before I meet
this guy. He's going to be in the office within
a matter of days. I don't think he can be anymore.
I know not now, honestly.
He can come in and do rough and rowdy stuff, but
with all the stuff that happens with us, we're going to
hire a guy that's so racist. races. Oh, no, I don't mean hire, but I bet you he'll come in here.
I honestly don't think I want to.
I don't think I want to meet this guy.
Jamie doesn't like this guy.
I hope he is sad and miserable.
But I think that's...
Remember on stage we joked that he kills himself?
I'd be fine with it.
I think that was one of those things you can say on stage
you can't say on radio, but I just did it.
Well, this was before he made himself a, quote unquote,
a career here.
On Thursday, no, it was Wednesday
night when we were at the live show.
I was like, this guy will be dead by Saturday.
He is in a dark place.
The internet's making fun of him. Now he's
trying to make lemonade here, but
I don't think
it ends well for Bagel Man.
I don't think this guy's long for this world.
He's going to be in a mini coffin before you know it.
Oh, no.
Well, Zah's going to put him in it.
Zah's going to put him in it.
That's right, Zah.
Let's go.
The way Zah came out with an entourage of Amazon women, and he also was carrying a little baby casket.
You're going to need this.
Oh, man.
I mean, the more you guys talk about this, the more down I get.
That's an easy 10K.
Easy 10K.
Light work.
My people tell me that, well, Eric here tells me that he's actually a pretty small dude.
He saw him.
He's at Sirius having like interviews.
He's at Sirius?
Oh, yeah.
He's making the rounds for sure. And to me, that is, yes.
Maybe the day or night of when it was a viral sensation,
or maybe if you're setting up something like this,
or you're going to be like, let's do an interview with the bagel boss
and tell him how much he sucks.
But right now, if you're any reputable show that's like just doing him like
you i don't know you have to be careful just probably gonna happen here but we will definitely
be turning him down for cancer but he's no but i would even have him on the show but i would be
sure to be like so you're a fucking hateful little piece of shit huh like anybody who's had him on
the show i think that's established i don't even think yeah i honestly think that if he if he's
really trying to play into this character and if he is who he
seems to be, I think that he would come in
here and he would just start insulting the girls
that work here because he would think it was funny.
And you guys would be like, this isn't fucking funny.
You know who I would want to unleash on him? Rhea.
I think Rhea would really let him
fucking have it. What's the matter, Rocket?
But she wouldn't. The Red Sox DFA
Eduardo Nunez. Really?
It's no longer noon time.
That sucks.
That's a surprise.
I know.
We were going to do a video with him, like, next homestand.
I mean, he's got some time.
I guess.
He's got plenty of noon time.
Yikes.
That sucks, man.
That's sad.
That's tough.
That's sad.
That's my guy.
Well, he got himself a World Series ring, so.
He did. All is good. I think he was. He got himself a World Series ring. He did.
All is good.
How'd that ring on your finger feel, man?
Feels great.
No, forget about the actual ring.
Just what it means.
I'm having trouble thinking of a better fuck you to blog haters.
The amount of people who are like,
probably like,
oh, this guy thinks he's like a part of the team or this guy thinks he's more
important than he is.
I'm just,
I'm a Red Sox fan too.
What's so special about this guy?
Whatever,
all the chirps you've ever heard.
I mean,
so then just be like,
right.
Kurt Schilling had a meltdown on Twitter the other night.
And one of the things that he said,
like,
he's completely against me getting a ring,
which is because of you.
Huh?
He had a meltdown because of you.
Yes.
Yes.
He was like, did he really?
Yeah.
He's like, pardon my French, but why the fuck do you get a world series ring?
And then he was like, it's a fucking joke like this and that, like, like the players
and this.
And I was like, dude, he said, he said like the players, um, he's like a hundred percent
chance.
None of the players want him to have one. Meanwhile, like half of them, half the players on the team, like, like the picture a hundred percent chance. None of the players want him to have one.
Meanwhile,
like half of them,
half the players on the team,
like,
like the picture on Instagram.
Uh,
and I think,
what did he say?
He said something like,
um,
I fucking,
I forget what he said.
He just went on like a whole rant.
I'm going to pull it up.
I'm interested to see like exactly what he said.
Yeah.
Garrick 38 or some shit,
right?
Yeah.
Did you not interact with it?
No, I just said like the gif of Javi Baez like saying like stop.
I don't know how I missed that.
I never know how to spell Garrig.
I thought he was joking at first and then he was like 100% serious.
But I want to be like, I didn't engage him because like I don't give a fuck.
Like I don't care like who thinks that I shouldn't have one.
But like, sorry, is this in response to your tweet?
Like he commented on it or he has.
I think so.
Yeah.
He's trying to go through his tweets.
It's like Donald Trump tweets and shit like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't think he understands that several people in every professional organization
get rings that had nothing to do with what happened.
Like he thinks you're the first person.
If you were like the only one outside of the 25-man roster,
then I would have been like, no, dude, I'm good.
But when people...
Like the fucking parking lot attendant gets one?
There's different levels to it, too.
There's an A-ring.
That's what the players get.
That one's worth whatever, like $100,000.
There's the B-ring that's worth $30,000.
And who gets that?
Front office and stuff?
Yeah, I got the B-ring.
Then there's the C-ring, which is like, I don't know,
like people in like the ticket office and like security.
It's worth like, I don't know, like five grand or something.
So he said, okay, I'm confused.
Is this a real thing?
Pardon my French, but why the fuck would you get one?
Jared sent back Javi Baez doing like the wave goodbye.
Get off me.
And then he said, honest.
So someone else responded.
Fair point, Kurt.
But he bled for the team, I think, right?
Okay, fair point.
I don't know.
And then he replied to the fan saying, honestly, that's a joke.
If I was a player on that team, I'd be pissed.
Play your whole life to earn that.
Yeah, if you got a player ring, if you got, like, the same ring that, like,
JD Martinez got, it may be different.
Right.
It's completely different.
And if I was the only person not on the
team to get one sure 100% I wouldn't even want it and I would say if it was that that was me I
would turn it down and for sure if I was like players and coaches and then me it's like yeah
dude I don't deserve it but it's like you got people like fucking scanning tickets at the gate
that are getting a fucking ring like yeah and like what fan would oh the thing that he said
was he was like,
I can think of a million Red Sox fans that are just as dedicated as Jared.
No,
you fucking can't.
Like there's no such thing.
It just doesn't exist.
But for him to say like the players would have an issue with it.
I know that they don't.
And for him to like,
act like he went on,
there's a lot of tweets.
He tweeted like 50 fucking times
so it's insane he had like a mental breakdown about it that's why i asked if it was real
how do you wear that what's your answer to why did you get one i know a few million fans that
are every bit as invested as jc a few million a few million oh so you think you think you should
be able to quote earn a ring for putting out great content. I mean, someone said,
wait,
did the,
to the Carabas and,
and Curt Schilling relationship go sour?
Not at all.
Just wondering why on earth he would get a ring for being a huge insane
Sox fan and writing an awesome Sox blog.
We walked a little bit back and they tried to,
tried to compliment.
He said,
I'm all for players appearing in games,
clubhouse staff,
coaches,
trainers.
And to be honest,
all the folks from ticket sales to grounds crew, make it all go and work their asses off.
Once you go outside that circle, they become trinkets, in my opinion.
A few million fans is laughable.
I mean, there's zero fans.
I mean, just a few.
And then, you know, of course, of course, he said, if Karabas was a Trump supporter, they wouldn't have given him shit.
Oh, he said that.
Has to go down that road.
Has to.
Always, always.
Did he really?
Classic Kurt.
I mean, you knew that had to be coming.
I mean, but here's the thing. compliment to you because you're not just a,
they're,
they're thinking of you as something in between a player and like a,
and a supportive member of the organization. I mean,
it's like you are,
you're on a high enough level that they,
he's thinking of you separately from just the ticket sales people and the
grounds crew members.
I mean,
he called him a trinket.
No,
no.
He meant the ring becomes a trinket,
but I'm saying the fact that you would be bent out of shape means that, you know, he called him a trinket. No, no, he meant the ring becomes a trinket. But I'm saying the fact that you would be bent out of shape
means that, you know, he's thinking of you as something different
and something like...
Yeah, I don't know.
I mean, like, I kind of look at it as no person being offered
a championship ring by their favorite team is going to say no to that.
So anyone that
has a problem i think like i just said though i think i think i think i think i would if it was
if it was only players but like no team does that right like that's just doesn't that's not a
scenario that exists um so yeah it's not something you like lobbied for yeah it's like hey uh yes i
would like a world series ring so i yeah like but i'm not i not, I'm not wearing it now when I, I literally got it.
You were going to wear it in here today.
I mean,
I have it with me obviously,
but obviously,
well,
I came here straight from the train station.
Putting,
having your name on it is a fucking flex.
Yeah.
That's really cool.
But are you going to put it like in a display case or in a safe where you're going to keep
it?
Probably in a safe.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I would get a replica made and I would wear it.
Yeah.
But yeah,
like we had the ceremony for it at like three o'clock and then I went back
down to the field to do interviews and I took it off.
I was like,
I'm not going to wear it around the player.
Right.
That would be,
that would be so funny.
Yeah.
Like I'm not doing it.
Yeah.
Interview Dave Roberts.
Like Muncie.
Yeah.
Just hold the mic up to his face.
Yeah. Yeah. That, I mean that, that was crazy, but like but like it was it a cooler moment than the parade
no did you video it yeah yeah yeah we got stuff like the ceremony yeah yeah veritech i would if
that was me i would probably think that's that would be a cooler moment no i mean like it's
because it's like you like you earned it. Yeah, but the fucking parade was more fun. And Jared was just all shit-faced.
It was like an hour-long Motley Crue concert.
Well, I'm not saying it was more fun, but I would think that like...
It was a more defining moment.
The parade is like for all fans, and then you had this singular thing that only you got to do.
I guess, but I think...
So what they did, they set aside 119 rings.
It was like an outside the organization.
We have a list of 119 fans or whatever.
Is there a reason for that?
Like 2019 or something?
No, they won 119 games last year.
So there was one for every win.
The poor bastard who's the 120th.
If you just won that one game, that fucking Kimbrel Blue,
I would have got a fucking $10,000 ring.
Who comes up with that?
I mean, it's like the PR team or something like that.
Yeah.
There's like people.
I mean, 119 people.
I mean, I'm not saying that's a lot, but there's probably so many.
How do you narrow it down?
Do you know what number on that list you were?
17.
Out of 119?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
So you were definitely on that list.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
It says it on the inside.
If they were like, how can we justify giving out a bunch of these, like 119? Yeah. Oh, wow. So you were definitely on that list. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? It says it on the inside. If they were like, how can we justify giving out a bunch of these, like 119 wins?
Or like, if they said, we want 119 games, so let's come up with a list of 119 people.
And you were like, 118.
And be like, oh, they were really like, I barely made the cut.
You have your number in the ring?
Yeah.
Can you imagine how the guy, like 119th guy feels like shit?
Some guy was like literally like digging holes in the
fucking dirt on the field yeah no it was cool but jared just tweets a picture with capital letters
and a gold bottle yeah i mean but like that like for for someone like kurt to like get that upset
about it's like dude you've met me a million times his fucking his wife like invited me to
his like surprise birthday party.
That's how close, like, I am to, like, the shillings.
He tried to walk it back enough.
He tried to walk it back.
Has that party happened yet?
Let's ruin it.
No, no, it already happened.
By the way, Kurt, your wife's doing a surprise party.
Kurt knows that how much, like, something like that would mean to me as, like, a fan.
So to, like, shit on it, like, that's pretty shitty of him.
I also will say i mean you know
it's not like the red sox are like a little little rinky-dink organization and they need fans and
shit but like you probably do a you're you are a a force of like growing the podcast has strong
influence in the fan base like when we make fucking nicknames that becomes their official
nickname for for the team.
I'm not saying we had
anything to do with that team winning a championship.
Absolutely not.
It's acknowledging
like, hey, you're a part of this too.
The grounds crew,
they did a little bit something. I would call that 119
people the support
of the organization. You support them.
You're watching every game
you're doing like the live shows you're you're you know you're doing the videos you're you're
marketing their brand for free like that's it you're not fucking hitting baseballs you're not
throwing baseballs but for like what the podcast does for like the fan base when we're we're
bringing the players in showcasing their personalities, you're bringing a different enjoyable angle to the fan base.
I'm not saying that that justifies a ring, but you're sort of ingrained in the fabric of the team through that way.
You think the Wilpons would ever give me one?
Yeah.
Well, first of all, we don't have to worry about that ever happening.
I think the people who get the team from the Wilpons once they're 40.
Yes.
To your boy.
Now, those, if, I'm not going to say when, but if that were to happen,
I think I would be like a part owner.
I think whoever eventually could buy it from the Wilpons would have no choice
but to thank me.
Because if that does happen, that means that I've done something drastic.
Because the only way that's going to happen is if I somehow take
measures into my own hands here. I'm
never going to see one. Patty from Portland.
He wants to let me know there's another
Barstool Championship that I'm not going to
get to see.
Yeah. I was wondering
how are you going to feel
when another
kind of
cast member or guest on your show or whatever, how they feel or how you're going to feel when another kind of cast member or guest on your
show or whatever,
how they feel or how you're going to feel when they win a championship for
you?
Which champ,
what are we talking about?
Or are you just saying in general?
I'm just saying in general.
Well,
I mean,
I'm also hubs also to hubs.
I don't think New York would ever give you a ring.
Well,
I mean,
he hasn't done what Jared's done yet.
I,
I would think that if any i think
any organization if they're smart if they uh were lucky enough to have like a family jared and like
a in a show like that that they they would give them a ring but i mean there aren't there aren't
many like 12 years that's what i'm saying there aren't i was gonna say many but i think it's more
like any yeah that have been as long as you have been and done what you've done and all that shit.
I have resigned myself.
I mean, once Nate won a Stanley Cup and then when Riggs and YP won one,
not because of them but because of the team.
Now all of a sudden the St. Louis Blues are a part of the Barstool family
and then they just won a ring like that. I've just given up Stanley the St. Louis Blues are a part of like the Barstool family and now and then
they just want to ring like that I've just given up on the fact I mean I'm the only person from
I'm the only person from the original and like semi-original Barstool people who hasn't won a
title yeah because like Philly's won a Super Bowl yeah Chicago's won a couple different things uh boston of course and then and then dc was the cup
hubs doesn't want shit right well yeah i mean the yankees were 09 but they weren't involved in that
so like every every city has won a title in barstool it's just not none of my teams
i'm the only person. Thanks.
When Nate was running around like a champion,
I was like, yeah, I mean, this is it.
It's never going to happen.
I resigned.
I don't know about charm, but it's part of the persona.
You're just miserable.
And then I'm just going to say, everyone
always says that if you do get one,
it's going to be like blah, blah, blah. I'm not saying if you do get one, you'll be different. always says that if you do get one, it's going to be like, blah, blah, blah.
I'm not saying like if you do get one, you'll be different.
I'm saying if you do get one, who do you think is going to do it?
It's not going to be the Jets.
It's not.
I was going to say it actually like the Jets might be the best shot, but it's not going to be.
But if you had to pick a team it would probably
be the jets because here's the thing like if by some chance my boy sam donald is like the real
deal like then then they would be a contender like that might happen that's the best possibility
because like the best possibility is to wait about it brady retires yeah like they may yeah what if
tom brady gets hurt tomorrow and sam Darnold is like the real deal?
Like there's this slim possibility.
The Knicks, absolutely not.
The Wilpons are like even when they're gifted of rotation like they had and like someone falls from the cloud.
That's crazy that they had five studs.
And like –
And then to like take –
I mean, yeah, you had a World Series run.
I was going to say, do you guys ever even – But even that was like – it was such – it really was like a miraculous lightning in a bottle type thing.
But they could have said, well, we have five guys here pitching.
That probably should be – that probably should cost us $100 billion, and they're costing us like two because everyone was like 500 grand.
So let's take all that extra money and load it up into our offense.
And like to me that's
almost like and you will go win a world series yeah like if you do that and you had that opportunity
you probably probably will win one i think one of the most impressive things about the mets in
aptitude is that they make you forget that they had a world series i know like you were relatively
you were fucking like you should have won a world series. Absolutely. And everyone's still like, what, three years ago?
2015.
And everyone's still on a joke of a franchise.
And when you say should, it really was.
I mean, they led for 91% of the series.
91%.
The numbers are there.
You know who I saw at the All-Star Game?
What's his name?
Mike Moustakis.
We were talking about him.
The motherfucker.
He's the fucking man.
Is he cool?
Yeah.
I remember he bothered me when he was talking tough when Cinderguard threw it in his teammate's
head.
I don't know.
Whatever.
Moustakas was barking from the fucking bench.
Shut up, Moose.
You'd love him.
I was going to say, I bet I would, but in that moment, given the circumstances, I hated
that fucking guy.
Sean from Rochester.
What do you got on?
The Rockets ring.
Well, good day, everybody.
How we doing?
Good day.
Well, it's beautiful out.
I'm going kayaking.
Listen, Rocket,
I'm so happy for you
that you got your ring
because, in all honesty,
you didn't ask for it.
The team offered it to you.
You put out a ton of fun stuff last year.
You made the Red Sox championship fun.
And honestly, Uncle Kurt, we all know he's a little loose in the noggin,
but I don't understand why he had to come at you like that.
I don't either.
I was very surprised by it.
Were you disappointed?
Yeah, I was surprised.
I thought he was joking at first.
And then when I realized he was serious, that's when I stopped responding.
I only responded once but yeah when I responded
it was like a playful response
like if he wanted my serious response
it would be fuck off
yeah like you know how much this means
to me it's gonna be in my family forever
like I'm gonna like hand this down to like my kids
like it's gonna stay in my family forever
like it's not something where it's like dude yeah check out my fucking ring like i was on the like no like
it's not that like i'm gonna keep it to myself like i'm not gonna wear it around um but it's
cool it's a cool acknowledgement and like like i said in that video for for me that was like the
pinnacle it wasn't just about 2018 it was about like starting a blog when you're 16 years old,
building all the way up to that point, getting in with the team,
making relationships with the players, the fucking manager,
the president of the team,
and then having a good enough relationship to where they ask you to be in the
parade, having a job at barstool where, you know,
I was fortunate enough to be in LA or like we're doing the live shows before
all these other games. Like that was for me like that was that was not one year that was
13 years to build up to that so yeah like it's a memento to be like that's that's where it was
the pinnacle as we go to break i'll hit you with a question here and don't you fucking cop out
what's the number to sell that thing on eBay?
Because everybody's got a number.
Think about it during the break.
And if we come back and you say, no, it's priceless or something,
I'm going to punch you in the fucking face.
What's the number to sell your World Series ring?
Looks like Pup Punk is about to do something.
Frankie's in Derek mode.
There's Russian flags all over the place.
I don't know what's cooking.
Oh, are we smoking cigs now? Oh, wow.
We are in full rock and roll mode.
Frankie's got the headband.
He's smoking cigs.
He's twirling the fucking drumstick.
I don't know why.
Frankie looks kind of sexy right now.
I'm honest.
I told him he should always do this look.
He looks sexy right now.
Instead of his stupid pizza boy look, he should be like, I'm a rock star.
Shout out Frankie Brelli.
He's like twirling those little drumsticks.
Yeah.
Frankie's got some sex appeal going on there.
Frankie.
I don't know why he wouldn't do this because I guess maybe it's like the suit thing.
Like you can't overdo it.
Why don't we say I've said this to you before.
You already kind of do this, Bob.
You already just have this be your real style.
You got the makeup on right now, but that's a bit much.
Why don't you just do this forever?
Frankie, I just said that I said you look sexy out there. You've got
some sex appeal going on. I feel so sexy.
You look sexy. Yeah, you've got the headband, the cigs,
the all black, the drumstick. If you don't
know, I have a feminine forehead. So when I
constructed this costume, I put on a nice
big headband. Smart man. I think it changes my
whole look. You look great. It changes my confidence.
Why don't you... I'm wearing an XL t-shirt.
You can't see my man boobs. Everything's perfect.
Why don't you just do this everything's perfect it's about confidence
you gotta walk the streets like this
someone's gonna be like who the hell is that guy
you're more confident right now you're happier
do it
I guess public shame is the only thing that can stop me
I'm sitting here on national radio talking about how sexy you look
right now
once someone officially takes over for Dave
he should just go Frankie Rock and roll
you know what that's what it is Dave would not like this Dave would shame you Once someone officially takes over for Dave, he should just go Frankie Rock and roll. Yes.
You know what?
That's what it is.
Dave would not like this.
No, no.
Dave would shame you.
This is too much.
We were just talking about the Rocket because when Rocket was basically poor, he had the basketball shorts and the shaved head and the sandals, and he was like, fuck anybody
who dresses nice until he was able to do that, and then he's like, yeah, I like dressing
nice.
So you just got to embrace it.
I know.
But you do have to get away from Dave first first because he won't he won't let you do this yeah
i can't have my lifestyle right now and dress like this i can't be running around from pizza
place to pizza place wearing like skinny jeans and a headband people will be like just fucking
edit the pizza review but once you are full uh frankie foreplay does it mix with the golf world
this is actually yeah no not at all yeah so i feel like it's just feel like it's just maybe I could be the bad boy of the golf world
walking up on the green.
You show up in a green leather jacket.
You're ripping a cig.
You put it out on the green.
Actually, we have cigs out there.
This is the first time I've ever held a cigarette.
Yeah?
I've never tried it.
You should just give it a little whirl.
No, don't do that.
I'm not doing it for this video.
No, absolutely not.
Yeah, don't.
And also, I'm on natural deodorant, so I saw that whole little thing.
So, no cigarettes, natural deodorant.
Natural deodorant doesn't do anything.
Jared, regular deodorant kills you.
What?
I want to be careful here because I believe this might be something to do with a sponsor of yours.
But I posted a picture the other day of deodorant and someone, multiple people were like, oh, bro, you better watch out for the aluminum content.
And I was like, are you guys fucking serious right now?
People were genuinely concerned about the ingredients of my deodorant.
I'm sorry, what?
Can you go into detail, please? Your body is
supposed to release water
and sweat, right? You're supposed to
sweat. That's what your body's made to do.
We put on these chemicals to stop
that from happening. They're saying that
as that process goes along, you're
now seeping chemicals into your body.
The same ducts and pores that are
releasing water and sweat,
you're like sticking in
you know that girls do that everyday on their face
makeup is the same way
you're also supposed to not wash your hair
Jared's looking at me in a certain way that he's gonna be on
you know what it is
I'm intrigued
deodorant versus antiperspirant
deodorant is like that blue stick
I go gel
that makes me like.
Yeah, that makes me gross.
It's like all cold and wet on your armpit.
Yeah.
But when you put the regular deodorant on, you still sweat.
And then you just get a smelly, grimy mix of like Old Spice scent with sweat.
It's gross.
I don't do like the dry stick because like it just rips your fucking armpit hair out.
I want that white aluminum zinc oxide.
I don't want to sweat
whole... Give me the bad shit. I'm usually
like that, dude. I'm usually like whatever
kills me first. Yes. But for
this one, I don't know. It just felt right.
I don't know. Does your girlfriend like it? I'm a fan of big deodorant.
Does she like it? I just started it yesterday
or two days ago.
We'll smell those pits. We'll see what happens.
Wait, so you just put nothing under your arms.
It's natural deodorant.
Deodorant is deodorizing you.
It doesn't stop you from sweating.
I need to stop you from sweating.
Animal cruelty free.
Animal cruelty free.
No aluminum.
No pesticides.
Give me that aluminum.
I don't want animals to be hurt with anything that I have.
Maybe you should think about that.
I'm out of here.
Frankie, you're no longer a star.
I'm out of here.
Frankie Rock and Roll is dropping the mic.
He's gone.
I mean, look, he's even walking with swag.
I know.
I know.
And it's such a shame that he's being suppressed by Big Bog here.
But he needs to let his inner freak out.
Let that freak flag fly, Frankie.
That's such a hard phrase to say.
Freak flag fly, freak flag fly, freak flag fly.
Freak flag fly.
If I didn't wear the hardcore aluminum deodorant type shit, I would sweat.
I would smell.
It would be gross.
I don't really sweat a lot.
So the one that they're wearing, because I know it is definitely a sponsorship because Riggs is on this too.
It lets you sweat?
No, it's just deodorant. It's like you're going to be stinky. There's is on this too it lets you sweat no it's just
deodorant it's like right it's like you're going to be stinky there's going to be an odor when you
sweat this is mad it's like putting on cologne so what's the gross what's the point of it what's
the point of what the what they're using it to that it's like it's like uh they people are saying
that it like causes cancer like no it doesn't i mean everything everything causes cancer so yeah
but it's not like if I,
I'm not,
I'm not going to get armpit cancer from my fucking deodorant.
And if you are,
I'm not going to be sweating and I'm not going to smell bad.
You guys can have your natural shit with your stinky armpits.
I can't handle these guys right now.
When Rowan,
when Rowan is,
Rowan gets into character,
he does not break like for anything.
No,
he does not.
Even for a split second.
Like I don't like,
you know,
you give him
a nod like yo dude this is a pretty funny performance and he's just like thanks man
i will put on his eyeliner at the atlanta show during the super bowl and he was talking to me
in that voice while i was putting on his eyeliner i was like this is he they are unbelievable he he
was he was very uh he had a lot of compliments for the KC Radio live show.
And I was like, it means a lot coming from you because you're the fucking king of live performances, man.
Let's hit a break.
We'll be coming back.
Another segment of bullshit and banter before Kirk Minahan.
We have confirmed this, 2 o'clock.
We'll find out.
More CCK coming out at break.
Oh, here he comes.
Minahan.
Let's see what this idiot has to say.
Come on in. Come on in. Come Minahan. Let's see what this idiot has to say. Come on in.
Come on in.
Come on in.
Let's go.
I heard you're already stirring the pot.
Already stirring the pot.
I heard you're already doing it.
I like it, though.
You walked in and tried to take down the biggest, baddest guy on the block.
Yeah.
Talking shit at Willie Colon.
Oh, yeah.
Curse.
Let's go.
Yeah, I knew it was coming, so I took mine down because there's a one-foot rule in this.
I was just here.
I was just here.
So you're going to fight for Willie Colon?
I mean, I'll fucking fight anybody.
You said what?
Two phone calls and you'll have that show?
Yeah, wouldn't you say?
So you said to me today before.
I don't think so.
I wouldn't say.
You were ripping him before this morning.
What's that?
You were ripping him this morning.
What did I say this morning?
I forget.
I said nothing of the sort.
You were shitting all over him.
I said nothing of the sort.
Why are you the way you are?
As he stares at Jared Karabas.
Why am I looking at you?
What's up, Kirk?
He comes in.
I'm going to do...
I just did this AMA thing, and he strolls in there, and it's like he thinks...
It's supposed to genuflect before you.
No,
no,
no.
I walked in there.
I walked in there,
Kirk.
And I congratulated you on almost making it through a show without bringing me
up.
I listened to your show.
I listened to your show.
It's,
it's great to fall asleep too.
And,
uh,
I,
I,
I don't think that part of the 40%,
by the way.
Yeah.
Speaking of 40%,
I think you've probably,
no,
it's probably close to 20% of the shows you haven't mentioned me in, which is good.
I know that you need a branch, the Barstool office, and I'm one of those guys.
So you want me to sacrifice it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I know what you're doing.
I respect what you're doing.
I'm Kirk.
I'm a fan of yours.
As I said to you before, you look, you do look almost sickly.
You look very sick.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I work a lot.
I'm concerned.
I don't, I don't work out during the season.
Clearly some STD gone wrong.
I don't know.
There's no, there's no doubt. I don't have time to make it to the gym. I some STD gone wrong. I don't know. There's no doubt.
I don't have time to make it to the gym during the baseball season.
I believe the word you used for the ring was pathetic.
When?
This morning.
Referring to him?
Yeah.
The World Series ring?
Oh, God.
I said it.
What are you doing?
You don't want that.
What are you going to do with that?
I do.
Why?
You have nothing to do with that.
I was listening to the show where you and the-
You had nothing to do with that.
Don't you think that's embarrassing?
It's Blind Mike and the other guy.
What's the other guy's name?
Steve Robinson.
The producer? No, no, no. I don't know. There's another voice. It's a dude that's obsessed with you and has. What's that? It's blind Mike and the other guy. What's the other guy's name? Steve Robinson. Uh,
the producer.
No,
no,
no.
I don't know.
It's there's another voice.
It's a,
it's a dude that's like obsessed with you and has a podcast.
It's like about you.
It's very strange.
Okay.
Yes.
What's his name?
Uh,
that's,
there's a couple of those,
but I think you're talking about MHB.
I think you were on it.
I was.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I thought Jared was on it too,
because they talked about how boring he was.
Oh,
that's right.
You sucked on it supposedly,
which I find it possible.
They said that he, they said he was super boring. I was was like i don't know who they said that they said that i was
they said i was boring because they they had me on and they asked me questions trying to bait
me into giving them answers that would only further their agenda and i wouldn't what was
their agenda you fucking know what their agenda i don't know their agenda they wanted me to say
bad things about sam kennedy who's taking great care of me for like 15 years.
Exactly.
Hey,
this guy sucks,
right?
I'm like,
no,
he's actually been great to me.
Oh,
you're boring.
Conversely,
you can see why I might have issues with him.
For sure.
Okay.
Then there's no issue then.
But that,
like,
that's what I said.
I was like,
I can see why Kirk would be upset with Sam Kennedy,
but Sam Kennedy has been nothing but great to me.
And they're like,
oh,
well,
that's boring.
Like they wanted me to like take out the way that they worship you at your feet. I, I just, I, you know, I but great to me. And they're like, oh, well, that's boring. They wanted me to take a... The way that they
worship you at your feet, I just...
I'm just a fan, Kirk. I'm not
here to praise at the Church of Minahan.
You're a fan of whom? Of me or the Red Sox?
You. Oh, I appreciate that. I'm a Kirk fan. Thank you, Jared.
What's the issue? They
called me boring because I wouldn't take
up your fucking...
The crusade against... They said it sounded like
you snorted melatonin the entire interview.
I don't know what they were expecting. They were
asking me questions. What are you looking at me for?
They thought that I was like, that
they were doing me a favor by having me on this podcast.
They thought they were doing, no, I think they thought the
opposite, right? They said,
we almost didn't have you on because we didn't think
that you would answer these questions. And I was like,
let's not get bogged down in this.
Is there anything else? This is the fake podcast about podcast there's there are several fans of mine who have
podcasts about me this is fucking weird and you went on this show i went on it too text me and
was like hey do you want to come on a podcast i was like sure i also went on it but i asked kirk
first i said should i go on he said yeah they'll take care of you and they did they liked me and
they did right yeah they took care of me but the thing that I was talking about was how you did
like a whole segment about how when we
during the London series, we were
doing like the little video thing.
And you said, isn't this guy like
30 and he's getting all excited about the team
and rah rah, I can't get up for a team.
Do you know a company that you just
gained employment at? That's how this
company was built, Kirk. What do you mean? Dave Portnoy
does the same thing. He's fucking 42.
He goes to the Patriots games. He gets excited.
Everybody here, it's not just a
Jared thing. Not everybody. You made it a Jared thing.
Not everybody. I don't. You made it a Jared thing. I don't?
You did. No, I don't do that.
I know you don't. You don't jump around.
But that's, so here's where I defended
you, Kirk. When you first got hired,
there were people
Why is this?
Don't you sense anger toward me?
No, no, no.
I mean, really.
What have I ever said about you?
I don't understand this.
I think it's a two-way street.
I haven't.
Find me one time where I've ever criticized you.
I can't think of a single time.
I dare you.
Run it.
It's impossible to find.
Yeah.
So I defended you because when Barstool fans figured out that you were being hired by this company, they were like, oh, great, another Boston guy to talk about Boston sports.
I was like, that's not what he does.
He's very funny.
He might stay away from sports entirely.
I have.
Your show has been very enjoyable.
So I defended you in that sense.
But then –
I don't need your defense.
I think you did at that point.
No, I'm good.
I'm good.
Leave me alone.
Just stay the fuck away.
You have your own audience.
I'm trying to get you –
Let's hit our break. I'm trying to give people a chance and i want to know uh
give hashtag give kirk a chance i want to know more about your ama and why you're coming at
willie cologne that's what i want to know same okay come on we have lunch yet we'll be back
after the break okay now i don't even know what's happening our number two. Yikes. Extremely uncomfortable room right now.
Can cut the tension with a knife.
There's a crowd forming outside.
Willie Colon is in the building.
Kirk Minahan is still joining here.
How are there not stool scenes cameras in here?
Willie is making sure he's sitting as close
as he humanly can to Kirk.
I got suspended a couple years ago.
On the desk size 23.
We're almost getting into a fight with Christian Foray and WEI.
My record against former NFL players is undefeated.
I'm happy to challenge at any time.
There's nobody in this room whose ass I won't kick if they get in my face.
Now, you say that, but that's because you just know,
you know Willie can kick your ass.
I don't know that.
A lot of talk.
So on the AMA today, uh-oh.
I need to kick my ass. Oh, my God. So Willie, Kirk So on the AMA today – Uh-oh. All right. You kicked my ass.
Oh, my god.
So Willie –
So I don't even know him.
So I called in and I said on the AMA thing, they asked me about their show I called into.
And I said I felt bad for them because they didn't know who I was and it was this weird situation.
And it felt a little awkward.
Even today I said hi to the other guys.
It felt awkward.
That's all.
Not the end of the world. I'm used to it. My life is like that. But it just feels awkward. Even today, I said hi to the other guys. It felt awkward. That's not the end of the world.
I'm used to it.
My life is like that.
But it just feels awkward.
Because why?
Because you used to host a morning radio show.
I have no idea why.
By the way, maybe I'm completely wrong.
100% wrong.
Is that to say hello?
Yes, I'm very sensitive like that.
Oh, my God.
This looks like a boxing promo.
They have the option for two mics.
But Willie is opting for one. It looks like a boxing promo poster. They have the option for two mics, but Willie is opting for one.
It looks like a boxing promo poster.
Now, in your AMA, exactly what happened.
Somebody.
I am so uncomfortable.
The question was what?
The morning show.
Willie takes a sip from Kirk's water.
The question was like, could you, you know, what exactly?
What was the question that prompted this response?
When?
In the AMA?
Yeah.
Somebody said how awkward was the thing.
Right.
And so what you just said is the answer you gave.
You said it was a little awkward.
Yeah.
But then you said, I can make two phone calls and have this radio show be mine by tomorrow.
I think I said that on the Yak show earlier.
Okay.
Got it.
I'm not going to.
These are people with families and jobs.
I'm nothing if not sympathetic to people.
I don't care about the quality of their show, no matter how poor it may be.
I'm still going to be there.
You know,
I'm a teammate.
I'm going to read the quote,
Kirk.
Yes.
Read the Willie Cologne fucking hates me.
I don't know why he hates me.
I suspect there is some territorial element about it.
Yes.
Whereas if I wanted,
I can have that fucking show tomorrow.
I don't want it.
But if I place two phone calls,
they'll be on the fucking street.
Two calls.
One, two.
Now, are you just, is this just, you know.
Are you a backwash?
Part of your.
Are you a backwash?
Are you a backwash?
Are you a backwasher?
Are you a backwasher?
Just say yes or no right now.
Tell me the truth.
Ring, ring.
Two phone calls.
Ring, ring.
Yeah, Dave, get these fucking guys out of here.
It's going to happen in two seconds.
But I'm a benevolent guy.
I'm sharing water with you.
This is – you can't be the guy who takes all the water.
That's a deal.
That's a deal.
Now you're out of water.
What are you saying?
Now this is – by design, you wanted to stir the pot like this?
Oh, I just figured some people, as I've learned, are totally sensitive and can't handle it. I think we know who those
people are.
Willie's shrugging. He's like, I'm good to go.
By the way, he's way more entertaining than he is in the air.
It's better when he doesn't say something.
Not a bad comeback.
Think of some more. You're on a roll right now.
No, slow down.
I've never laughed so hard in my life.
I'm so scared.
What's that? You're going to be there tomorrow? Well, I'm leaving today, but I'll call in if hard in my life. I'm so scared. I'm so scared. The show that you hate. What's that?
You're going to be there tomorrow.
Well, I'm leaving today, but I'll call in if you want me to.
You're going to call in.
I'm happy to call in.
I'll call in tomorrow.
Absolutely.
No problem.
Okay.
Great.
You can hang out here.
You can hang out.
It doesn't bother me.
Absolutely.
This is your studio.
833-857.
Okay.
This is your studio.
For now.
For now. Oh, Kirk. 833-857 he's your studio for now oh
Willie what
what are your thoughts on this all
what's that
alright
I'm still
wondering why
you interpret it as awkward
oh right absolutely could be totally i could be
totally wrong like so i i just felt like and i totally get it because i'm in this business too
but it felt like there was some anger toward that now obviously clearly i was wrong and i'll
apologize so clearly there's no issues at all i mean everything seems fine but yeah no no no big
deal kirk i have a question for you go ahead uh with willie and
large are you targeting them because of their time slot absolutely not targeting them at all
are you largest are you largest are you i want these guys i want these guys to do this show as
long as possible i like doing my podcast when dave and erica said to me hey listen we got a real
problem in the mornings i said guys guys give them a chance, would you?
I know it's rough, but let's get through this together.
And they said, Kirk, please, Jesus, Kirk, please take over mornings.
I said, guys, they have families.
I can't do that to them.
And again, they would say over and over, have you heard them?
I'm like, yes, it's a terrible, is it the worst radio I've ever heard?
Yeah, but we'll get past it.
And I think we have. It's gotten better since I've ever heard? Yeah. But we'll get past it. And I think we have.
It's gotten better since I've gotten here.
So very quickly, Willie, say thank you, Kirk,
for making me step up my role and become a better radio personality.
I will say you're welcome,
and then you're going to get me the rest of my water,
and then you're going to let me drink it.
I didn't expect an answer, to be totally honest.
It's worth a try.
So you have no desire to enter the radio game here?
Absolutely not.
Why?
Why?
Because I have a podcast I like doing.
And I'm kidding.
Obviously, I'm kidding.
They're doing a fine job.
What do you want me to do?
They're fine.
It's fine.
If they wouldn't have been awkward the first time you called in, would this be happening right now?
Would what be happening right now?
Ask him.
I don't know what the fuck do I know.
I was sitting here.
I'm getting attacked.
I mean, this is really tough to watch.
Why?
You know how many times I've been in situations like this in my life?
I mean, I feel like this is the start of a beautiful friendship.
I like the guy.
It's a rocky start, but I feel like at some point you guys are going to make really great
I have no issues with him.
Yeah.
But I think there's got to be a little give and take, a little playfulness.
Yeah. He's a teddy bear. You just got to know where to tickle him. He seems like a very nice think there's got to be a little give and take, a little playfulness. Yeah.
He's a teddy bear.
You just got to know where to tickle him.
He seems like a very nice guy.
He seems to be a fan of mine.
Yes.
So what can you do?
He can't stop staring at you, so he must think you're great to look at.
There is a level.
It's bordering on sexual.
The sexual tension.
The stare down is just eye to eye.
They're probably.
I'm not going to win that.
I've never been good at that.
This is exceedingly uncomfortable.
Why is what?
Do you find it uncomfortable?
Willie's good.
Kirk's good.
It's just everyone else.
I miss our talks.
I don't know what to do.
I missed the part with the call-in.
So if I'm one of the listeners for context.
Totally.
Again, so I started.
I signed.
And Pat, who I think produces – oh, there he is.
Produces the morning show as well, correct?
Correct.
Yes. And I said, hey, why don't you call in to the morning show and say, no, I'm with you on that one.
No.
I said no.
I'd rather not know.
I said, sure, no problem.
I didn't know if they knew who I was or didn't know it.
So I called in, and you could tell they were both like, who the fuck is this guy?
And I felt like an asshole for them.
I've been there.
Whereas I said in the AMA today, we were like, what the fuck is this guy calling for?
So it felt awkward to me then.
And then today, I felt a little cold.
When you cut me, I bleed.
I'm like anybody else.
I'm human.
And it hurt.
I hurt.
So you lashed out. I did not lash out. I'm human. Yeah. And it hurt. I hurt. So you lashed out.
I did not lash out.
I told the truth.
That's not in his character to do that.
No, I told the truth.
I'm not going to make those phone calls today.
But they may happen.
But listen, I have plenty of vacation like other people here.
So Willie can fill in if he wants.
If I decide he can fill in.
Probably not.
But we'll see.
Willie, do you have any thoughts on this whatsoever?
The answer to that is no.
The microphone is on the opposite side of him, Jared.
He's not talking. When Kirk Minahan has a microphone,
Willie doesn't get the microphone.
Okay, got it. He actually, for the record,
Willie declined to have a microphone. He did have one
in front of his face. Yeah, I took it right from his fucking hands.
Did you? Yeah, I did. Is that how we're going to
interpret that one? Yes, I did.
Yes, I did.
That's one interpretation of what happened.
It's only 2.08. What's wrong with you?
I get to leave.
No, what's wrong? It's like he said, you guys
aren't uncomfortable. It's uncomfortable to watch.
I mean,
Willie's good to go.
He is on top of you.
Kirk, his entire existence is awkward.
It's a great move. I like it.
It's a great move.
I like it.
I think it's funny.
I give him more credit for this than I was.
I almost have to say I was wrong.
I give him credit for this.
It's a good move.
Well, this is where Barstool thrives in that, like, it's the WWF storyline.
But it's not because it's serious.
Well, I don't know.
Maybe I'm wrong.
No, it's not serious.
But, like, you guys aren't going to be good friends.
I don't know that.
Did we split a drink together?
It's very awkward right now.
It's very uncomfortable.
Did we share a drink together?
What am I supposed to do?
There was a drink that was shared.
I've also seen Willie Colon
pick Big Cat up and throw him around
like he weighed nothing.
I don't think there's any debate about the physical
tail of the tape here.
I think there's room for debate.
Kirk, what are you running?
What's the tail of the tape with you?
168.
If I'm lifting, I get up to 170 maybe.
That's Willie's dick.
I have a good core.
That's Willie's dick.
It's supposed to be slapped on there.
Willie has a 168-pound dick.
When was the last time you were in a fight, Kirk?
It's been a while. Fist Kirk? It's been a while.
Fist fight.
It's been a while.
Back in the gang days.
Ballpark.
Lexington, Winchester, that kind of stuff.
Trying to survive the best you can, rubbing nickels together to make dimes.
You hear what I'm saying?
Straight up.
Willie knows that.
Willie is a couple OGs, really.
He's bullshitting.
This is exciting to see this right now, how uncomfortable it is and how of G's really. Yeah. Bullshitting. This is, this is exciting to, to see this right now,
how,
how uncomfortable it is and how angry Willie actually is.
Yeah.
And fast forward to like,
we're probably never like a Christmas party,
like a few months from now.
And you guys are probably going to be the best of pals.
I hope the guy,
I don't get the sense.
That's good.
I don't know best of pals,
but I know what you're talking about,
Jared,
where this is,
this is,
if I,
since he's not going to address anything for some reason,
wouldn't you say there has to be a place for sort of a, hey, we're kind of kidding around here?
Like it's not – Maybe it's on Barstool Breakfast.
You guys can hash it out.
I heard there was an opening on that show.
Yes, I did.
I did hear about it.
Yeah.
Yes, I did hear about that.
You could do it every other day.
Maybe there's room for you guys to coexist now that there's an opening.
I don't want to do radio anymore.
Why, Kirk?
Because I like doing my podcast.
That's why.
But it's the same thing.
I know, but it's a little more
It's a little more
It's a little more
It's a little more
of what I want to do.
That's all.
Sounds like you're afraid.
I mean, you're like
the 90th person, Jared,
today to ask me to do
the morning show
in this building.
I didn't ask you that.
I'm just saying
there's a fit.
Most have begged,
but I'm not going to do it.
Yeah.
I wouldn't do it to my friends.
Because it's Barstool Breakfast and you want it to be like the Kirk going to do it. Yeah. I wouldn't do it to my friends. Because it's Barstool Breakfast.
You want it to be like the Kirk Minahan show.
No, I just wouldn't do it to my friends.
Kirk, Kirk, Kirk, I know you better than you know you.
You want the Kirk Minahan show.
You would never join Barstool Breakfast with Kirk Minahan.
It would never be called that.
We have our own show.
That's what I'm saying.
Why would I want to do that?
That, I am agreeing with you.
Right.
I don't want to do that.
Yes.
Yeah, I don't want to do it.
But you, ideally, if there was an opening, and if for like two or three hours of radio, do that that i am agreeing with you right i don't want to do that yes yeah i don't want to do it but
you ideally if there was an opening and if for like two or three hours of radio the kirk minahan
show on sirius xm you'd say no thank you no i'm interested what if you could do it from boston oh
you thanked me you're welcome that's see that's nice thank you no we we got a call here for kirk
uh greg from ohio he's been waiting for a while to talk to Kirk. Greg, what do you got?
Keep in mind, I know you've been waiting to talk
to him for a while, but you also have to acknowledge the
dynamic going on right now. Also, I still haven't had lunch.
Kirk is hangry.
Willie is
on top of Kirk.
By the way, I have to say, hold on,
Greg, shut up for one second.
I got to say, this is like, Greg,
I got to say I'm feeling physically threatened., it's a little, it's, I got to say, I'm feeling physically
threatened.
Where's HR?
Where's the sensitivity training?
We don't have HR.
Sensitive training over here.
Go ahead, Greg.
Go ahead.
What do you got, Greg?
Well, first of all, I don't think a blind producer is the best one to have on a morning
talk show.
It's reasonable.
Your podcast, you can get away with it.
Right.
Well, that's true too.
Yeah.
So Kirk, you're, you're the first person that's ever,
you didn't ban me personally.
Twitter banned me because I made a joke about, Hey,
how about you drop this podcast before you go kill yourself?
Oh, that wasn't me. I didn't say anything. No, no, I know. I know.
I know. I know it was Twitter, Twitter, and wasn't me, Greg. I didn't say anything. No, no, I know. It was Twitter. Twitter, and it was my Twitter. What a wit on this guy, Casey.
Just mocking my mental illness and suicide attempts.
Yeah, yeah.
I figured you would like it.
Oh, I didn't care, Greg.
I don't care.
But do you have a point?
Can we arrive at a point here?
Yes, yes.
We can arrive at a point.
The point is, Kirk, you are the best, whether it's on air, podcast talent,
you are the best talent that has been brought to fucking SiriusXM today
and also to Barstool.
Well, I mean, we're not talking about a massive standard here, Greg.
No, but I know.
You are right.
You're correct.
But I'm just saying.
I'm not from Barstool. I forget. That are right. You're correct. But I'm just saying. I'm not from.
Forget it.
Land the plane.
That was.
This is like my old.
He was nervous to talk to you.
Isn't this the guy we did this to yesterday?
He's.
Land the plane.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Land the fucking plane.
You ever get that thing where you get an eyelash right in your eye?
Can you get that for me?
It's so fucking annoying.
Blow it, will you?
Just a little bit.
Yeah.
Give it a little blow.
Can you blow it?
Just a little bit.
When you think. When you leave the studio here...
Remember that old show, Make Me Laugh?
You ever watch that?
You ever see that show, Make Me Laugh?
Try to break somebody for a minute.
Do you think you could break Willie?
I think I could get him.
I don't know.
Why don't you try to find out?
See what happens.
Willie just did a little shrug.
Let's find out. But you could. Willie just did a little like a shrug. Let's find out, bro.
But you can feel like
there's love in the air now
a little bit.
There's a thaw.
There's a little bit of a thaw.
We're getting there.
What do you think's going to happen
when you leave the studio here?
I haven't seen anything thaw.
What are you seeing thaw?
He's probably going to break my neck.
I mean, he's not
stopped staring at you.
Oh, and here goes Nardini.
Yeah, no, things are going great.
Nardini, awesome.
Yeah, are you going to just hightail it out of here?
No, what the fuck am I going to do that for?
I work here.
I'm here to do things.
This is, you know, this is, I understand where he's coming from.
I actually understand where he's coming from.
Well, I think I would understand where he's coming from, too.
But I would say.
You just jumped on the air and said you wanted to take his job.
I didn't say that.
You said you could.
Right.
Two phone calls.
Right.
So I understand exactly where he's coming from.
He should thank you for coming from a place of shut the fuck up.
Right.
But wouldn't you have a little more fun with it?
Well, that's the thing here.
You never know with, uh, with, you know, you never know what's real and what's not.
You never know.
Yeah.
I'm going to say, Kirk, this makes me sad.
You don't work in New York full time.
If you were here, no, I think it's best for everyone.
As long as he's not
going after me, it's fun to watch.
I mean, he'll get to you.
If he were here permanently, he would get to
pretty much everyone.
It's the Gaz mentality
with the platform and the skills
to grudge.
It's too much of a
complete package for this environment.
Springsteen guy?
This is pretty much exactly what the Mikey Fowler cousins of the world and my friends were talking about.
Your hand's just going to cause problems.
But let's be fair here.
In this situation, who's causing the problem?
Well, I would say you started the problem. But there are ways to. And I would say Willie is carrying the problem. Well, I would say you started the problem.
And I would say Willie is carrying the problem.
Escalated the problem,
which I am totally comfortable with.
I'm glad he's doing it.
But I'm saying, let's not make it out like,
hey, was I misquoted?
Maybe.
I'm pretty sure the quotes
are...
Chuckle? Do you see the chuckle?
A little bit. I think that it might have been a pity chuckle, did you see the chuckle? a little bit
I think it might have been a pity chuckle
I'll take it
do you think if you were more evenly physically matched
right now you would be less
smug about it
I see fear in his eyes
Willie's not going to break you in half
oh
Willie leans in
Willie opened up his eyes a little wider. Go ahead and look for him.
You know, it's almost like when Nate runs around
talking a lot of shit because it's almost like he knows that
he's not going to break him in half. It's like when Drake does it
at basketball games. But he's awesome. I don't know him.
You do. He's a nice guy, right? Yeah, great guy.
But I've also never crossed him like this.
He's going to risk going to jail.
I mean, you know, maybe. Maybe it's worth it to pop me.
I don't know. Who knows?
Well, then there would be an opening for the show.
For his show? Yeah. Given his attitude right, then there would be an opening for the show. For his show?
Yeah.
Well, given his attitude right now, there's going to be one tomorrow anyway.
Oh.
Let's take a break.
Why?
This is an early break, Kevin.
I think it's a 15-minute early break.
I think it's a maybe early break.
Why?
I don't know how this is going.
All right.
We'll just dive into some
topics of the day. Yeah, we're here.
We might as well
just talk about it a little bit.
What's popping on the blog these days?
Kylie Jenner. You like the
Kardashians, Kirk? You're a Kardashian fan?
Oh, the Kardashians.
No, not really.
You know what? I'm actually attracted to the mom, though.
You're attracted to Kris?
Yeah, I'm attracted to her.
Because of her looks or her physical power or her prowess and her fucking...
I'm more of the older vintage.
How old are you?
44.
44 looks like he's 54.
I don't think that's necessarily true.
It's a cheap shot, isn't it?
Well, we were talking earlier.
He said, I look older than I look.
I said, you look older than you are.
Right.
I had blog years.
He has Murchison years.
You look young in the eyes, Kirk.
Thank you, Jared.
It's in here.
Thank you.
Is that the case?
Yeah.
Are you really going to do this where you talk about other stuff right now?
Yeah.
Yeah, I think we should just kind of go through the topics of the day.
Are you a Game of Thrones fan?
No.
Do you watch any series? A lot. Yeah, sure. we should just kind of go through the topics of the day. Are you a Game of Thrones fan? No. Do you watch any series?
A lot.
Yeah, sure.
Some, yeah.
I just started watching this weird one on HBO.
I watched the first couple of episodes of Euphoria.
Euphoria.
That shit's a trip.
It's fucking crazy.
I can't decide whether I'm so old that I don't know what teenagers are doing, and I'm that
out of touch, or if the show is just exaggerated. I mean, I have a 12-year-old. I hope not. Right. And I'm that out of touch. No. Or if the show is just exaggerated.
I mean, I have a 12 year old.
I hope not.
Yeah.
That's what scares me.
I watched the first episode and one of the kids is transgendered, right?
Yeah.
What's the character?
What's the transgender one?
You remember or no?
We were talking about it before.
You're the biggest.
You stop it.
You love you.
All right, fine.
We'll talk about it during the break.
He's always talking about euphoria, texting me shit about it.
So one of the,
you,
you,
you know you do.
So one,
so one of the,
so one of the, there's a transgender character.
Yes.
Yeah.
It was a big reveal at the end of episode one.
She goes to this spoiler.
Older guys,
like motel,
fucks the shit out of her.
I know.
It's very massive guy.
Well,
she's the of age,
but the characters in high school. Yeah. All of it is uncomfortable. She's a massive guy. Well, she's the actress of age, but the character's in high school.
All of it is like hardcore sex scenes.
This girl obviously
getting fucked.
It's crazy.
It's very graphic.
All of it makes me very uncomfortable.
And the guy is not high school.
The guy's a jacked guy in his
40s. Yeah. Yuck. He doesn't know
at the time that it's a high school.
Jared, I'm guessing, is not watching this guy.
I don't watch TV.
I just watch baseball.
You know that.
I understand.
We got another call here from Troy from Michigan.
This is actually from Willie.
I don't know if you got, for Willie, if you got headphones there, Will.
Troy, what do you got?
I mean, he hasn't stopped staring at Kirk.
Hey, what's up, guys?
I'm just wondering why Willie gets the bitch about the Cousins show
and try to get him on there.
And Kurt can't do the same.
Why is he even in the room?
I'm not to be confused.
This guy's calling you a bitch.
That's actually fair.
He's saying, why do you bitch about the Cousins all day,
and then you act all pouty?
His words, bitchy, not mine.
Though I think they apply.
I do think about the whole Cousins stuff.
That's inconsistent.
Even you have to admit that. I do believe that was on a gentleman's Friday. I'm just saying. think they apply i i do think about the about the whole cousin stuff that's inconsistent even you
have to admit that i do believe that was uh on a gentleman's friday i'm just saying i think and i
do and i do believe uh he was fucking lawyer i'm just what i'm just talking through let's be let's
be fair about this i mean i'm representing i actually knew about this you stop i actually
knew about this and i forgot to mention it you can't have it both ways you can't sit there and
bitch about my friends the cousins who i like one of. One of them, by the way, is my attorney.
That's right.
Just to keep in mind.
In your latest court endeavors.
And Willie's bitching about them, and then I make a joke.
I'm never going to be on the air ever.
He's trying to get rid of these guys, and he's bitching and moaning about that?
Fuck that.
Honestly, that's pathetic.
Shame on you.
I'm disgusted.
We're not friends anymore.
It's over.
No more pinky swear. We're not going to. It's over. No more pinky swear.
We're not going to do it anymore.
Was there an apology made to the cousins?
To him, to me?
There should be one.
I don't think there was an apology made.
There better be one soon.
I feel like I thought there might have been.
I thought there might have been.
That's a shame.
Jesse, was there an apology made?
That's a shame.
That's shameful.
I love the cousins.
Not a formal apology.
I feel like it was addressed.
The cousins are relevant.
They're topical.
They stay on it. It's like it was addressed. The Cousins are relevant. They're topical. They stay on it.
It's like listening to guys from today.
I bet you those guys watch that show.
No question.
Euphoria.
Oh, my God.
Can you imagine?
We should do that.
They should live watch it.
We should do a live commentary of the Cousins watching Euphoria.
Cousin Murray watching Euphoria might be the most viewed thing we've ever done on Barstool.
Except for this.
44, I feel like I'm 100 watching that.
Yeah, that makes me wildly
uncomfortable, that show. So you think it's exaggerated?
You don't think they're all doing that drugs and sex and internet
like that? I don't know, but I don't think so.
I mean...
I don't know. Are you watching anything else
good right now? The reason I brought up
TV is Game of Thrones
got nominated for an Emmy
for the finale for Outstanding Writing.
Which everyone hated, right?
It was so fucking bad.
It was so bad, Kurt.
Every time I put it on, there was a dragon.
I was like, I just don't like dragons.
You a dragon guy?
It's not.
But that's the common.
That's the common, you know, I don't like dragons.
I don't like fantasy.
But it went so much deeper than that.
And then in the final season, they just abandoned all the deeper shit.
It became like a fucking action
show movie.
It was an atrocity.
So to go get nominated for an Emmy
is just trash. I'm going to be honest.
I had a lot of takes on this, but I'm so
enthralled in what's happening across this radio.
I don't even care. I can't get to it.
It's a little spot. Can you scratch it?
You know the thing you can't get to? So I'm curious little spot. Can you scratch it? Can you, I just,
you know,
the thing you can't get to.
So I'm,
I'm curious.
I mean like Willie's obviously not going to say anything,
but I'm curious why Willie's in here.
If he's not going to talk like,
are you,
is this an intimidation thing?
Willie's from the Bronx,
man.
He didn't fuck around.
I know.
I know this feels like it's just going to be a blog storyline,
but I don't know.
But you think I was going to walk away?
Kirk Minahan, don't walk away from nobody.
I came from the streets.
I had my third home, our second summer home,
was not in a great neighborhood.
You could barely see the ocean.
That's a fucking fact.
Willie's a fucking fact.
I'm straight Kennebunk G.
If we were to do Kirk Minahan versus Willie Colon rough and rowdy,
what would it take to even the playing field?
First round fucking knockout.
I would dance all day.
You're not in any shape.
I'm a runner.
Dance all day.
Would you need a baseball bat?
A gun?
A knife?
What would even the playing field for Willie, of course, against you? Right, sure.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe if you gave Willie a knife, you'd have a shot.
I feel like there's a size disadvantage that I may not be able to,
even with all my guts, I might not be able to overcome.
It would be like the mountain versus the viper, really.
You'd have to dance around it.
Right, yeah.
If we go 15, maybe I have a chance.
But I feel like if I got caught with one, I'd give him credit.
Speaking of getting caught, there was this dude in Columbia.
He got arrested for hiding cocaine in his toupee.
Which, as a bald fella, I think maybe you could...
He hit 40...
40 ball of choice, yeah.
Well, I mean, even if you wanted to grow it out, the hairline would not be strong.
Not good.
It's been like this forever, though.
Really?
Yeah, since like 17
or 18. I had a high school basketball
counselor who called me Phil Collins
the entire week. Fucking Toro, what an asshole,
right? Do you think that maybe is
where some of your, you know...
Angst? Yeah. Mental issues come from?
Am I not the nice...
You're very nice to me. Yeah, you've been very polite today.
You're very nice to me. I will say
I do prefer to be on the right side of Kirk.
Why?
Now, if I was Willie Colon, I don't think I'd give a fuck.
What's going to happen?
I'm going to shoot you.
What's the big deal?
You fight back.
You're a pain in the ass.
Not really.
Kirk, you're terrifying.
If you're on the wrong side of you, it's your fault.
I wouldn't say terrifying.
I think everybody in this room likes me.
I like you.
I feel like maybe he loves me.
I wouldn't want to have to
do this dance with Kirk.
I will do it.
You won't do it.
I don't remember the first line.
We can play it for you.
I forget what it is.
I can't hit the high notes though. I can't hit the high notes, though.
I can't hit the high notes, though.
I can't.
Just give me the, you know, and now to the chorus.
I need it.
Can we play it?
Please.
How rabble is this producer?
No, sorry.
I was cutting the cameras.
Who's the producer?
Who's the producer?
The video.
The video aspect of this show is more important than the thing. Who's this?
I can't see.
I'll get you.
Oh, hey, Zah.
What's up?
What's up?
Wait, what song?
What song were you talking about?
I was looking for I Will Always Love You.
Maybe a little too cliche.
I would even think like maybe something that maybe Willie and I could do a duet together.
Oh.
Oh, that'd be nice.
I like that.
You open to that?
Willie's got pipes.
I don't think so.
Seals and Croft?
Simon and Garfield?
I think that Zah's getting it.
I would love...
Johnson and Johnson.
Forget it.
Don't worry.
We'll do it later.
Don't worry about it.
Put a pause on Zah.
It's okay.
I think Willie's in the mood.
How about you trying to do this cocaine story?
I'm literally running through the blog.
What's going on in Columbia?
Kendall Jenner was...
She's on a yacht with...
We're back with them. Okay. Kendall Jenner's on a yacht. We're back with them.
Okay.
Kendall Jenner's on a yacht with Ben Simmons.
Or no, who's she with these days?
I don't even fucking know.
She's really just running through the NBA like everyone else, huh?
I guess she's.
That's unbelievable.
I don't know.
I don't know much about them, but from what I understand from the blog, she's not happy
about people accusing her of running through the NBA.
I mean, every time, if you're on a yacht with a guy.
Is it fair to say if OJ did not kill those people
that the Kardashians wouldn't have a show?
Yes.
Right?
Probably fair.
If OJ blew a flat tire going to the house that night.
Why?
Well, Kardashian was part of the legal team.
Is that why people knew the name at first, though?
I think so.
Yeah, for sure.
What else were they famous for before that?
Kim got in with Paris Hilton.
I mean, I don't think anyone's watching Kim K because her father was...
But I'm saying, was that her entrance into the world of whatever?
No, I don't think so.
When were Kim and Paris friends? Like when they become friends?
I never knew that.
I mean, I don't know.
Yeah, that's how she got plugged into the socialite scene.
Yeah, I know, but I think they got plugged into the socialite scene because Rob Kardashian
was O.J. Simpson's lawyer.
I don't think so.
You think Paris Hilton was like,
I want to hang out with him.
I'm stunned.
You know who O.J. Simpson is?
Oh, he's an athlete.
He said he's charming.
He's a big time O.J. didn't do it guy.
Oh, I know. He definitely didn't do it.
I don't want to do that.
You think he did it? Yes. I don't want to do that. I don't think he did do it.
Okay.
You think he did it?
Yes.
How do you know?
I don't know anything.
Everyone knows he did it.
Goldman's blood.
Am I going to do this really?
Goldman's blood.
What do you think of the conspiracy theory that it was OJ's son that did it?
It's stupid.
It doesn't make any sense.
Why?
Why was Goldman's blood all over OJ's car?
You can't put him behind the wheel.
Behind the wheel of what?
The car.
It was his car that was over the house.
Oh, man.
No one's ever driven your car before, Kirk?
It chopped people's heads off?
No.
After years of beating the shit out of him?
If there's a car in his car, he is guilty of that murder.
Why would OJ hire a defense lawyer for his son in the wake of those deaths?
Well, why not?
I don't know.
Maybe he was worried there was going to be something.
I don't know. Who the hell knows why?
Kevin, you think OJ did it too.
I think that there's something very interesting
about the...
I don't know why you would hire a lawyer for your son.
I don't know. There could be 20 reasons why.
I don't know. Who the hell knows? It might not just be that.
Just protect him. That was never used.
He hired a defense lawyer
in the name of his son in the wake of those
never lit for his son yeah
that's the conspiracy strike you is that kind of human
being I don't know maybe wouldn't that be the greatest story
ever told if he just bit his tongue
the whole time his son wouldn't
have gone and done it without OJ wanting
him to do it no it's by the way
it was it was like
his son then had to okay his son
this was like a rage killing.
Like his son had to hate Nicole.
Yeah.
They got stabbed
like 3,000 times.
I think he has like
severe mental issues
and I think that
the whole story was that
he didn't have a good
relationship with her.
With Nicole.
The son.
The son and Nicole
did not get along.
Are we really going to sit here
and pretend that OJ Simpson
didn't do this?
We're not pretending.
Are we actually having
this conversation right now?
Like this whole thing
seems odd.
I think it's all very compelling.
What's your take? First of all, what do you think of
F. Lee Bailey's work?
Barry Sheck, the DNA lawyer?
Furman? You're not a Furman guy, I guess.
I wouldn't think. I wouldn't be.
What do you think about... We are actually
at break now.
Take a break.
Now we can take a break. The breaks would be more awkward. Well, I're going to take a break. Take a break. So now we can take a break. The break should be
more awkward.
Well, I think
it should be a break for us
and the end of
your guys day on
on CC.
Oh, I'm done?
