I do know a lot of people, like, call me alcoholic on, like... Like, you don't say! Wait, wait, wait. You don't say. I'm a weekend drinker. Frank Fat, too.

People call me a fat, dumb drunk, and I don't know why. Now, let me put on this pirate costume and chug a beer and throw it off my head. Why do you call me fat, dumb, and drunk? This Friday night, we'll be in Boston. We got Dana Beers on the show today. We got a lot of Massachusetts people listening, I'm sure. We are at the Wilbur. There are some tickets left.

We would love to have a jam-packed show. Everyone, please come out. If you are a Connecticut resident, I'm a resident because you're not going to come from the whole state. That's crazy town. But if you live in Stanford, we are at the New York Comedy Club in Stanford, which is a bit confusing, but that's what it is.

We're at the New York Comedy Club in Stanford on Sunday night. Come out. There's low tickets available at both, but there are tickets available at both. So please come out. Let's have a great time. Like I said, we said before on the show,

I think the live shows are really good now. I think they're really funny. I think I laugh a lot and the crowd laughs a lot. I think they are worth your time and come check it out and I think we'll have fun. Please.

Thanks. It's presented by Pirate Water. So come out. We'll have some Pirate Waters. We will get swashbuckled. We'll get pegged. We'll do all the fun stuff. Boston, Friday night, Stanford, Sunday night.

We will see you there. Goodbye. What's it called? The Dozen? You're a Dozen wagon when it comes to Dozen Sports? Only in sports. I don't know anything about it. I'm the polar opposite.

Really? We would be good teammates. I mean, I turn away from the computer during sports questions. I'm like, I don't remember. You could ask me questions about last year's Mets team, and I'd be like, I don't really remember. I've actually gotten to the point where I text during. Yeah, yeah.

I'm like, I'm on my phone. I'm not looking up the answer. If I answer this, you know. If I tell you which SEC quarterback threw for 5 000 yards in 1999 you know i'm cheating yeah i have this weird like so the 2007-8 nba drafts i just you go through it i know where they went to school i'm like i have this weird 2000s nba i might have a little bit of that late mid like late 90s early 2000s basketball i can maybe do yeah i have a gut feeling in baseball questions four four games in a row i've called uh a friend for baseball and i had already said the answer

and i should just go with my gut it makes no sense football like i'm out the shit just pops in your head like out like a name you haven't heard in 15 years yeah like it just always happens well i think i'm going through uh dementia i think i have early onset dementia and i'm forgetting all sorts of words and all sorts of facts so i think my dozen days are limited so i gotta i gotta get these points in while i can because i think two years from now i'll have to hang up my dozen cleats because my brain just doesn't work anymore go away go out way earlier than minahan what's that minahan retired today oh yeah are you not from the dozen after he After the season, he'll be done. Why is that?

Because he's losing now? Is he losing? He only won so many MVPs. I think he's won two. I think he's nominated again. He won't win this year, he doesn't think. I kind of like the idea of hanging him up when you're on top. I'm not going to limp my way out of it.

Good for Kirk. We're going to be a team to watch. we're going to be a team to watch. We're going to be a team to watch this year. We have fun. That's what matters. Like, we played Eddie and Clem the other day, and we made our niche category healthy food. I saw that. And I was like, because, like, you know, we talked about it before.

Yeah. I mean, it ended up working out. But I was like, we'll probably get this question wrong, but it'll be funny. It'll be a great clip. You know, the big boys will answer like, you know, fast food and then we'll do health food and it'll be funny. And I think some people don't agree with that idea about how to do the dozen. Every time I catch myself like taking it too seriously, I'm like, dude, just stop.

Just stop. I do. I do. Don't get me wrong. I do. Like, I really like to win when I miss. I don't really care about losing. I care about when I care about my personal performance. If I can answer, you know, 10 questions right and we lose, I'm like, whatever. I do. I really like to win when I miss. I don't really care about losing. I care about my personal performance, really.

If I can answer 10 questions right and we lose, I'm like, whatever. I'm so happy. Kevin's a Russell Westbrook of the dozen. Totally. I just want my – give me my 30 and I'm good to go. When I miss a question that is – that I think I should get, I think about it for a week straight. It's crazy. So you're figuring out the dozen.

We also heard you just figured out TikTok. Dude, I don't fucking understand these platforms these days i'm just like a guy that give me one camera like give me my cell phone and i'll just post it everywhere i don't understand how shit works like instagram they tell us to post once a day i'm posting shit and it gets like 200 likes and 5 000 views i'm like what is going on well well i don't get it i i mean you got to play by the rules but you also got to be you know it's just good it's a different world and i how old are you i'm i'm 30 i'm almost at 20 you're officially three zero officially wow i don't think i realized you hit the 30 i know yeah you're washed i act like i'm 21

you act like you're fucking well that's what i mean i feel so happy that i'm on this program because i i can just like let out a lot of feelings that i just hold in let's go dude what do you got like i can't do the shit i used to my whole brand is drinking yo there's a lot of people who say stuff like that. If I stop partying, I don't think people will like me. If I get in shape, people won't like me anymore. And I'm always like, nah, it's not true. It's true with you, Dana.

It's frustrating, dude. I will try new things. I'm doing the man on the street. It's fun. But then nothing does as well as when I'm sitting there pouring a beer out of my throat. Have you considered food reviews? There's a small niche at Barstool where you could rate food out of

a scale of 0 to 10. I did some chili reviews. I got on the wagon and I was like, wait, everybody does this. I just stopped. I can't wait for like, we're going to be doing smoothie reviews one day or something. Green tea reviews. It's tough, dude. Is your body slowing down from drinking?

Are you still going strong? I was an all-time fat. Yeah, you got Corey G on you, right? I was all-time fat. 280 pounds. Do you know how skinny I used to be, dude? I used to be in my prime 235. 280. How tall

are you? You're pretty tall. I'm 6'3.5". You're never going to see... You're always going to be over 200. It was ugly. But like 210 for you is like... I got a cordia on my ass. Right now I'm down to 263, but I'm still like a kind of a bag of milk. I don't know.

I mean... I hide it. You're okay. I hide it well. You're sitting on this couch okay. Yes, but... I sit on the couch and I'm constantly like hiding and holding. Dude, if I wanted to commit to the bit really hard and just like make –

like if I really wanted to go with the beer thing, I would be $350,000. Easy, easy. That's what sucks. That would make a lot more money. I don't know. Bro, let's go back to zillion beers because that's exactly what you're talking about. Yep. I mean you moved what?

It was a million dollars of merch in a week or something? It was like 1.6 in two weeks. In a week, two weeks. Yeah. Because I think it was a million in a week and then you doubled down or something like that. Yeah, I just kept going. You had another goal in two weeks. Kept going.

And then eventually I was like, all right, let me just – let me stop. And the most impressive part of that is you were at work every day. Yeah. You were drinking a thousand beers every night. A zillion. Not a thousand. A zillion. Not a thousand. A zillion. Those were the days.

That's the bar. That was one of my favorite. That was the definition of like. And then you gave away all the money. I gave it to Freddie. That was. I got a little side cash with Dave. Okay, good.

But that was fucking insane. I think even the Fradies were like, don't do this. Don't do this. They definitely were. I love them to death but like that that well i was drunk kevin i was on a fucking three-week bender kevin i was like i was feeling myself like oh i'm gonna give it all away i think my buddy used to say that too i think he stole the line from a movie or something like that but like we had friends who were in a long-term relationship and every time he saw the girl he'd be like jesus christ how long

have you been drunk for and just being like she she must be shit faces still be in this relationship that's what i was like with you when you were giving me money like how are you yeah it was uh i was that whole experience was just one big bender that i i mean people now to this day just are like disappointed when they see me and i'm not drunk oh okay yeah i mean that's that's we do we we would go through that with like when our brand wasn't drinking like people would be like let me buy you a shot and i'm like dude five guys just bought me a shot like thank you so much but if i do this all night i'm gonna die and that was when and i didn't have a brand of drinking. And I would say two summers ago was worse when it was like that. And I say worse, but it was a lot of fun.

But it was that time when I was just saying I was back for no reason. And everyone was like, you're so back. That was so good. Every bar I went to, it would be like I was a fucking monkey in a cage. Just like, chug that beer, chug that beer. And again, at that point, I was 28, and I can no that's my that's my problem is i can't say no i'm just i think that i think everyone here is problem if we say it you can't say no but it's just that we are gluttons for attention oh yeah and you show me the slightest bit of attention i will do whatever

you i also i i think it's a glutton for for attention plus uh crippling fear of disappointing people absolutely like i just i don't i don't want anybody to walk away being like hey i met him from barcelona like he kind of you know i by the way i've fully accepted that now because that's exactly what happens every time now but there was a time where it was like no no i gotta put on the show for like everybody it's like it's like the fear of someone filming because that happens a lot. They'll walk up with their phone and be like, here's a beer. Chug this. So obnoxious. It's so annoying.

You can't say no to that. And then on camera being like, no. But it's a good problem to have, I guess. The Pirate Water Southie Parade. Everyone thought they were the first

people we saw. And it's like, why are you jacked up? I was like, I've been yelling for three hours. That parade was... My head hurts. That kind of was like, okay. It was kind of like a passing of the torch in a way. But I was just realizing that Breon and Grace are like these fucking megastars.

And meanwhile, I was like, damn, I'm washed. Yo, you want to get your your ego or your career or whatever checked real quick you hang out with brianna dude i she is on another level you got on like the duck boat with brady and you were like the logs yep yeah that's exactly what it was i knew she was on another level she's on like five more more levels. She's crazy. I was expecting some people. You're right. Shrug my ego all the time. Do it.

But I probably had 10 people come up, and I was like, the fuck? That's it. Where is everyone? Candle in the sun, bro. I've said a million times, she's my number one draft pick of Arsenal. If I had to pick anybody right now, first overall pick would be her. She's doing what i was doing just the drinking except for girls in a way and they're just like but so also you have to remember like

everything kind of builds right so like if i i don't know if it if it would have worked out the same way but let's just say like in a vacuum if we just had this many more people and saturdays of the boys happen right now i think it would – it's almost hard to imagine it being bigger than it was. But I think it would be – because there's just that many more people following Barstool and following the Instagram and we would have TikTok videos and all that sort of shit. I think Saturdays with the boys kind of worked because it was like this grassroots small thing. So maybe it wouldn't have caught on but if it did you know everything that's happening now at barstool is just there's just that many more people you know so if you i know that it was a lot of that if you i mean even zillion beers is how many years old now

three yeah that like that's we were talking about three i thought 2020 it was in this office right it was right before the pandemic, I remember. You brought beers to the National. I went to Nashville. I saved Nashville. Oh, my God. I got canceled for drinking in Nashville. You did get canceled for a day.

But that was... I remember being like, that's a bad idea. But the amount of people who were like... I'm the biggest crash and burn guy. Dude, I go... There's two speeds. I'm all the way up, and then it's like... Well, I think you might have lost that title recently.

Zillion Beers, though, was a thing of beauty, man. It was like a revolution. Lightning in a bottle. It was the little guy. We were just talking about the writer's strike. That was almost a version of the writer's strike, where it was all the people rooting against the man, Dave, being like, let's get fucking money so we can give it away. Give it right back. version of the writer's strike where it was all the people rooting against the man yeah yeah being

like let's get and dave money so we can give it away give it right back dave being like this is the stupidest thing i've ever heard and then you just like and then he's he's so annoying because he's like i i won i put money in my pocket like what are you talking about it's like yeah i know but in this world of barcelona it's about bragging rights and who's right and who's wrong and all that shit, like forget about the money. You like stood up and were like, this is a dumb idea that will never work. And it worked better than like any idea ever has, faster than any idea ever has. It was crazy. It was like that whole time period.

Again, my body hasn't recovered. I don't know if I've ever recovered as an employee, but it was amazing. And it was just like that was Barstool as a whole. Just like that was in a nutshell. Dave just doesn't like drinking. Yes. And because he doesn't like it, he doesn't get it. Where it's like, if you drink, zillion beers is funny.

If you like bro out, Saturdays for the Boys makes sense. If you don't do those things it looks super cringe and super stupid but it's like guess what a lot of fucking people do those things a lot of our fans like to drink yeah a lot of our fans are versions of me yeah just idiots that like will smash beers on their head you know what i think that the the like the most important thing is zillion beers is is the the the varying knocking the beer off your head. Sometimes you toss it. Sometimes you smash it.

The funny ways you do it. Dana's back. I got to get back to it, man. How about when this airs, Dana's back? Well, here's the thing. I've never been contracted to do content. I've always done it for fun. And that's when I'm at my best.

Now, I'm more obligated to do stuff, and I suck at it. It's crazy, dude. I say with Jackie all the time, she's so good at doing it when she's not trying. And I want to do more of it, but then if she starts trying, it loses the lust. So, like I said, the man on the street

stuff is awesome. I think it's funny, but it's like it's not as organic or real as what i would be doing when i'm just sitting there smashing beers whatever you but you like it's just hard barstool um as a fan and then as an employee over the years trying trying yeah was lame right trying to do stuff yeah is lame and but like these guys are proving with the sketch comedy like they're going to sit down, they're going to write something, they're going to try, they're going to try to make it good, and it came out good. And I think if you are from the old school days, either as an employee or even just a fan, you have this idea of it's got to be real and authentic and on the fly, and it can't be scripted, and you can't try. And that's not really true.

There's a happy medium like you'll never have the organic like realness of that zillion beer shit but there's like man on the street is not like uh like oh this guy thinks he can like you're not trying to write a fucking movie now you're just talking to people you know i know it just goes back to like the the results type of thing of it's frustrating to see the numbers not doing as well as again what i'm used to it's like fuck yeah what am i doing wrong and it's but it's again like well you sprinkle it in you get a healthy balance dude we do it with merch we try to make like nice clothes yeah sells you know whatever i put out throwing bombs banging moms which didn't the quarterback didn't play and the story really wasn't even fucking real yeah and i

think it was my biggest t-shirt ever it's like i know i'm still trying to navigate it and figure it out just because like i said i've always had like jackie like always had production to fall back on yeah and like that's my real job you know i had coach prime to fall back on like now i'm really just focused on content and again i'm like i'm, I'm not growing. I'm like, fuck, why can't I just go back to the old me? So I'm trying to figure it out, and it's tough. Well, I mean, you can probably do the drinking character without being hammer drunk. I don't know.

There are little tricks you can do. There's a little thing called alcohol. I do know a lot of people call me alcoholic. You don't say. You don't say. I'm a weekend drinker. Frank Fat, too.

People call me a fat, dumb drunk. And I don't know why. Now let me put on this pirate costume and chug a beer and throw it off my head. Why do you call me fat, dumb, and drunk? I'm saying they call me the alcoholic as if I'm drinking every night of the week. I drink on Saturdays. I get fucking wrecked, but I drink on Saturdays. It's kind of like a microcosm for all of Barstool where people think that like it was a frat house or just a wild party and it's like yeah there was the blackout tour and there's

some moments and some people but for the most part you come in here it's like head down on your computer where people are working so that's but that's like where you got to keep up like a little bit of the allure but you don't have to like necessarily live that whole lifestyle i don't think i said it to brianna too i mean brianna's younger so i'm also part of me is like get out there and fucking do it but she you know her her uh her college tours i mean i don't know if anybody alive could keep up with like her her schedule and she's like i can't do this anymore and it's like you'll you know you'll find your way it's hard to you know compare to brianna because like because like we said, she's on another level.

But I do get that feeling of like early days of Barstool is like your heart's in it and it's genuine and it's real and that's what works. And then to try to like fabricate that is hard. But also no matter what you get, you're still going to be like, why isn't it more? I know. It's so true. It's frustrating. You really have to like – I don't know if maybe this isn't true for you, but if there were moments where in the past you were like editing a video and you were like, I hate this or I want to be content or whatever. Like remember that you got to what you – You know, like soak it up a little bit. That's true.

Yeah. And I mean I still get to edit all my stuff. So it's like a kind of a – I'm not completely lost on the production side. Right. It's just more like I'm just frustrated. But I know I'll get it eventually. I'm just – like I come from that old school cloth. Like I've been a fan of Barstool since 08, 09.

Yeah. Like I see the – How old were you in 08, 09? Fucking eight years younger than me. What am I, 30 right now? You were 18? Yeah. 17, 18? I thought you were younger than me so am i 30 right now you were 8 18 yeah okay 17 18 i thought you were young that we we had we had some youngsters people at live shows being like i've been following since i was 13 what the fuck why are you in jail it's like yikes so i i mean

i come from watching you guys and like your videos of just simplicity and that's what made it funny to me yeah and i struggle to like accept that it's a different world now like i'm like i just want to go out with one camera yeah make a video with sure simple cuts nothing fancy and sometimes it doesn't work but like i come from that like that's what's funny to me yeah that's what but there's still people out there that think that i think yeah you know that's like the barstool that i love so i'm trying to like i think you gotta do more shit like this like you know if you tell people that and show people that and go on other shows and you're doing the dozen, you're out there in other ways and you show off that you're – because there's a lot of guys like you who are like, I don't want to watch an edited TikTok and I don't want to be a part of this or that. I just want the old school shit.

Then give them the old school shit. I'm trying. it is tough though it's like it's old school for a reason because there's a new school and that's what more people are watching and paying for and making money it's like it's not just the new school social media it's the fucking like barstool and i'm like who are these people everywhere it's it's just the good old days you know it's like it'll it'll never be that way that's did something that I have to accept, and it's just never going to be like that.

applauding me for talking about how small my dick was i'm like hell yeah bro welcome to the show three 280 tiny piece let's go fucking micro penis3", 280, tiny piece. Let's go. Fucking micro penis. It's small. I'm not going to do that again. There's ladies in the room. There's ladies in the room. It does affect it, right?

Whenever I do anything, I stare right at myself. I try to. It's looking into my disgusting ear. I can't look anyone in the eye while I say this. It was mostly mixtape. I was trying out to be Dave's guy. That was kind of like that. Right. That was the beginning of like starting to mold into content and I was not cut out for that.

I just was not. That's a job for only a certain level of person. It was miserable. It's like you can't go to sleep. Yeah. I was afraid to miss a text. That's when I started to realize, oh shit, this is your guys every day. Frankie Borelli went

crazy. He became a crazy person. He lost his mind. Frankie was scary. Frankie was planning engagements around it. That's kind of when I realized, okay, I kind of like to stop this spotlight a little bit. You got a little taste of that.

Chasing the dragon ever since. I always knew like with my buddies, this is actually funny. Cause I'll take you back to way back when I got hired, like six years ago, I was working for young page views pretty much. I was like, fuck this dude.

I'm so much funnier than this guy. Like get me out of this fucking editing Bay. Like I was just like in my house like did he find you uh no he found me hank okay yeah that was if you want me to tell the the whole story yeah yeah yeah because i don't i don't think i know so i was a fan obviously and part of my take just tweeted we need an intern and then i grinded my dick off you're from up there right you're from messages yeah from uh cape cod and i and i grinded my dick off. You're from up there, right? You're from Massachusetts? Yeah, from Cape Cod. And I grinded for four months for free just like part of my take making shit for them. And eventually I was like, okay, I have a real job.

I don't know if I can do both these things. I told that to Hank and he was like, all right. He's basically like, let me go talk to Erica. She said, no, we can't hire you right now. I was like, what the fuck? I just, you know. And was like what the fuck i just you know and that's what pisses me off about now i'm like it used to be so hard to get in i know i know and now it's not you're 30 hard it used to be so hard to get out of the cloud

pound pavement shake hands look someone in the eye How many miles have you walked to school, Dana? I was like, fuck. It took me so many hours. I watched every single rundown from the beginning until whatever, 2017. Just to make a four-minute video for Dave and to make him look good. That's what Hank was like. Make a video to make Dave look good, and then he'll like you, and maybe we'll hire you. What was the video? It was like –

Oh, yeah, yeah, I know. It's just like a Dave dick-sucking fest, right? It's just like Dave's the man. It's like a Team Pornhub video. That was the criteria of like, all right, this is how you get your foot in the door. Make sure you make Dave look good. And then I did all that. Make him money or make him look good?

Stroke the ego or the wallet? That's how you get in with Dave. I did all that, and then I was like, Hank, I either have to have a job or I got to stop doing shit for free. What were you doing? I was doing like part of my take. No, no, no. Oh, I was doing sales. I was so bad, dude.

I was so bad. I could see you being like, no. Okay. Oh, my God. I can't imagine. Like every time I hang out with a buddy who does sales, I'm like, I don't. It sucks. I don't know how. That's what we're selling. You could do that. So I was a recruiter Every time I hang out with a buddy who does sales, I'm like, I don't know how.

That's what we're selling. So I was a recruiter, but I was selling. We call it sales, but I was selling someone's resume. I was trying to get someone a job at a company. Like a little headhunting type shit. Yeah, headhunting. And I had to cold call. Dude, I was so bad at it.

I lost our company money. I got paid, and I never placed anybody. Not once? We didn't make any money. Not once? No. How long were you there? I didn't not once so I didn't make any money not once no how long were you there I didn't make shit

I just I was there for a year okay alright that's not that long that's funny not that long I feel like I mean I feel like

how long like well not to top sales and what's the average person normal people will get you know a year at least 10 people jobs

zero I thought you were getting a person a job a day no no no i think it's like that it's hard bad but were you fucking headhunting ceos no just a software developer do you need a software develop click yep um so basically i was doing that like all there and what are you making at that place 37 000 yeah so you're you're not it's like i remember those days now it's you know inflation and salaries are higher and shit it's like back then it was like if you could just break me off like a homeless person's wage we can match what this person's making right now mine was 300 a month a month and he and dave cut it yep i thought it was 400 300

he and anyways he was like know, things are getting tight. We got to – No, he fired me before I made money. Because I remember the blog I wrote was – he's like, we can't keep you on. And I was like, I don't make any money. What did he say? Was he like, okay, you can keep me on? I was like – maybe I did make money.

Maybe I was like, can I keep writing for free? Yeah. That's what I was about to say was that he was like, we can't afford the $400 a month. I was like, okay. Just stop going out to dinner like one time and we'll be okay. I remember Kevin. I was like – he's like, will you – oh, no, no. It was when I came back. Not when I came back because I never left.

I took two days off. It was kevin and kevin and keith were like we'll get you money we'll put up like a gofundme or whatever and i was like oh i want to make more money on that zero dollars i don't remember doing that i don't know if it was a go fund maybe it didn't even happen but it was a good idea you guys had yeah and zero dollars from that um and uh i don't know if we put that at like into practice yeah i don't know because i i think i would have like hustled i i don't think i would let that be zero i know i would have put money in myself and like been like anonymous donor it's because i wouldn't i

wouldn't have taken that out you're fucking rich now bro it is fuck you it's but like nothing like nothing has changed though it's weird weird. I got this house. You're the same. And I'm trying to like – I'm definitely like we're redoing a couple rooms and shit like that. And it's nice. But it's nothing like crazy. And then other than that, it's like money does not fix that. All this shit I got to deal with.

I remember when I was delivering pizzas after college just trying to make money. And then the $37,000, I was like, holy shit, I'm going to be rich. Yeah. No, no, no. I absolutely. You paid like 10 bucks to go to the school fair. I'm moving out. I'm never coming home.

I 100% had more disposable income and like an easier life when I first started Barstool. Because I was making uh i was still at deloitte and i had like i was getting 25k from dave and no bills no nothing so like i was making like 80 i don't know 90 000 and i was like i did whatever i wanted all the time and even now it's like i i mean i know i i i don't know i i'm just like, I don't, I'm not a good rich person, I guess, because I'm like worried about it. I'm like, what if I'm the asshole who like loses all his money somehow? So I can't spend it. And then I'm stressing.

Yeah, yeah, totally. I remember when I got my offer, I was like, wait, you make more money in New York? Why? Like, I couldn't figure it out. I was like, oh, I'll move to New York then. Yeah, let me get an apartment. Central Park West. I'm making money now yeah i don't know part of me does get scared that like dave it's like dave was like born to be a famous person and a rich person and he so he like knows how to do it and leans into it and then that begets more fame and more money and i think of if

you're like a a timid rich person, you like, you lose all your money. You know what I mean? It's like, I'm not taking the risk where I won't make the big money. So I'm like, I will be the guy who just factory and get bullied into five.

Yeah. Yeah. Yes, exactly that. I do need five. And I'll just slowly, like, it'll just slowly trickle away.

And it's like, oh, now you're not rich anymore, but whatever. That's, that's, that's neither here nor there with you. So you, she says no. now you're not rich anymore. But whatever, that's neither here nor there with you.

So you, she says no, and you just keep making shit? So she says no. I text that to Hank. I said, Erica said no contract right now. She said, like, reach out in the future, which obviously means, like, fuck you. Didn't hear from Hank. I just get a phone call from Dave, two hours later with a contract I'm like what the fuck did Hank do

apparently the story is he went into Dave's office and like screamed and like was like battling for me I don't know how true that is but ever since then I'm like I owe Hank my life I don't know if anybody has ever done that

that actually was what I was going to say earlier, where it was when I came back. And I came back to cover for Manzone on his honeymoon. And Kevin told Dave, like, well, we got to pay him. And Dave's response was, and Dave told me this. I don't know if you've ever told him this. Dave's response was, what are you, a fucking agent? Yeah. And any time I tried to go to bat for John, it was like, shut your fucking mouth.

He was fucking aging. The way he told me was – You have to pay this person to work a little bit. The way Hank put it to me was they were getting in like screaming battles over me and my $50,000 a year contract. And I was like, what the fuck is going on? But I appreciate it, obviously. I mean – We all remember ourselves as the hero of the story, don't we?

Everybody did go in that office and lay down their jersey for Rudy. Everybody did take off their uniform for Rudy, I'm sure. Well, I mean, Hank sure may have. I obviously have no idea. I do sit next to Dave's office, and I don't recall a screening matchup with Dana Beers. I could have been. That was before I was Dana Beers.

I could have been elsewhere that day. Yeah, you were just Dana at that point. Dana B, right? Dana B, Dana Beers. From there, I was like... You know how stupid that is? That's one of those things. No, no, no, but I'm saying how stupid the world is.

Like, if your last name doesn't start with the letter B, I don't know if you're where you're at. Like, that really actually might... No, that's a fact. Your name might not become Beers. Or if my name wasn't dana like it would flow as well right right like dana b and the b stands for beers you want to talk about disappointment when people don't when people find out my last name is not beers they want to fucking shoot me away that people think that my middle name is fucking fuck it kevin fuck it Fuckin'? Fuckin' Clancy. They think the F is Fuckin', and I'm like, no, it's a name.

I've had a lot of people when they find out. I never once thought that people would think his name is actually a meter. My parents were drunk on pirate water in the delivery room. Name him Fuckin'! Name him Fuckin'! That's so funny that people, like, I would never have thought of that in my life that people would be like if I was talking with you at that point I would have been like

I would have never been like now prepare yourself people are going to think your real name is actually Beers people are so fucking stupid I know obviously his real name is Beers but I don't even know where it started I mean I guess it's possible I do know someone whose last name is Beers but it's but it's just i've looked it up it's like no it's because he drinks beers morons but i don't know where it's where it actually started with like people started calling

me that but i'm like this is so dave gives you a full-time contract in june 2020 or 2017 yes to be a producer and i came in and i shit. I came in and I was... And then you did the fucking documentary, right? I did stool scenes under YP for a year. It's back when stool scenes was cool, though. It was the best, dude. Yeah, it was cooking. But again, I do...

Doing stool scenes now, God bless you. I love YP, but it was tough working under him because he was just very specific he was very specific and i was like this isn't funny i like there's certain points where i was like the editor in me was like i want to take control over this yeah yeah but again i stopped doing it after like a year and then yeah i started doing the documentary me and bald paul just traveling the world we interviewed tucker carlson for that i don't know why it never came out but like put it out wait you have footage of talking about barcel yeah we interviewed him for the documentary we just never used it i don't know bro absolutely put that out you want to get views

put up tucker carlson yeah we have the most random you want to get that instagram up tucker carlson talking about how much he loves barcelona it'll be great for the brand and you want to talk about fucking you know there's tight budgets every now and then. They were sending me everywhere. I went to Texas to interview the guy who made the foam at the Barstool Blackout. Oh, really? That never saw the light of day. See, that's because the people who work at Barstool and make Barstool think that everything about Barstool is –

I know where that came from. I can probably guarantee you I know where that came from. I know I can probably guarantee you. I know where that comes from. Dave loves to talk about how we used to blast people in the face with the phone. And he wants the guy who made it to like be on record being like, just that's toxic. You can't 50 bucks to just say the phone is gross.

I was like, yeah, you know, that's a good amount of travel and you know, yeah. Housing. Meanwhile, we're,

we're always worried, can I buy dinner for one other person on my team? No, we can't expense that. I know, dude. But that was fun. I really liked doing the documentary. It was literally just me and Gaz. Nobody else.

I had full control. How many times did you find yourself in a city where you're like, why am I even here? Many times. And then Gaz was fucking some chick there, right? Again, Washington, D.C. And Tucker Carlson's office. I'm like, why am I? I'm sure times. And then Gaz was fucking some chick there, right? Again, Washington, D.C., and Tucker Carlson's office. I'm like, why am I?

I'm sure there was a chick in Washington that Gaz was fucking. And he was like, go interview Tucker Carlson while I got to go. Yeah, this was the first time I really started to get to know Gaz. And you're right. You know, he just, whatever he wanted. He would make these guys drive like hundreds of miles out of the way just to get laid. I enjoyed it, though. It was fun.

I enjoyed the project. How many – I remember thinking to myself, like you guys worked for a long time and then it was like a several part series, right? You got some juice out of it. It wasn't just like a one and done. What happened was it was 1 to 15. The 15th episode was Caleb's episode and then Zillian Beers happened. Oh, really? That was it.

That was the end. And you never did it again. Never looked back. So there was – yes. I mean – but you covered a lot. Yeah, yeah. caleb's episode and then zillian beers happened oh really that was it that was the end and you never looked back so there was yes i mean but but you covered a lot like caleb is pretty late pretty much up till the new york sale um so that's it you know that documentary if you ever want to know like the origin story of barstool and and not you don't care about the new age like because that yeah that was my baby was there ever a science for the boys part of that no that was after oh yeah no no now i'm remembering now i'm remembering we all used to joke this is the dave Yeah, that was my baby. Was there ever a Saturday for the Boys part of that? No. Because that was after. Oh, yeah.

No, no, no. Now I'm remembering. Now I'm remembering. We all used to joke, this is the Dave documentary. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Of course it was. Okay, okay.

No, that's what it was. I remember that. We went through the list one time. It was like, that's after Saturday for the Boys. Yeah, there was no Saturday for the Boys. I don't think I was in it. It was just the Dave story. Dave was involved in it. It wasn't part of the documentary. That was awesome. Dave likes't think I was in it. It was just the Dave story. Dave was involved in it.

It wasn't part of the documentary. Dave likes Caleb. Caleb was in it. Yeah, and that was the time when I was like, dude, I was such a Dave Dick rider. I was like, I want to be on T-Port.

Were you actually a Dave Dick rider? Yes. Yeah, like you really did ride his dick that hard. He could do no wrong. It's still a part of me that, I mean,

I'm a Massachusetts guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's crazy. Still, there's still a part of me that, I mean, I'm a Massachusetts guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's how I found about, like, Barstool. Right, right, right. So I always have that, but. But so when you become, like, a content guy, or more specifically, when he's like, shut up, your idea is stupid. Yeah. Is part of you, like, crushed? Yes, dude.

Yeah, yeah. That was part of me. And I was ready to just get crushed. But then I think Gaz stuck up for me. Again, thank you, Gaz, for everything you've done. But from there, it was like, all right, I got to actually take control of this. Yeah. The Dave Ney saying is also, and I'm sure he would say it's Belichickian,

where I still vividly remember a fight. And it might have been the bat fight. I forget. But it was him screaming. No, it wasn't the bat fight i forget but it was him screaming no it wasn't the bat fight because he but it was him yelling it was team portland way and you think of it where he was like i guarantee you everyone on team portland will be more successful than you guys and it was like he was yelling and it was like you i mean at that point was like on my team it my team, it will be way more successful than you people.

Because it was like we were making fun of Team Portnoy. The whole Team Portnoy thing all started – I don't even know why they did it. But Trent and Robbie came on radio and just said like, my allegiance is with KFC. I don't know if we were arguing about something and it was like, whose side are you on? And they were just like, we ride with KFC. And I was like, don't do this. I remember I went to them and I said, thank you very much. Flattered. I will always

have your back. I will always help you and shit, but shut the fuck up. Because this is bad for all of us. And then he made it a point to make Team Porn a thing. Team KFC is not a thing. There was no other team. You know? That was when I think people just went into radio just to get some face time oh that was that was that was a

scary that room everyone was that I was getting beheaded just so the president saw me yeah dude that room I think like I hope whoever moved in there like saged that that had such bad energy dude you walked into that room and it felt like you were in a fucking morgue. I loved that office, though. Yeah, there was some grimy fun to it. I was thinking about it actually the other day. This office reminds me of UMass Dartmouth. Which one?

This office. And that was the zoo? UMass Amherst? No, UMass Dartmouth was like the – it is to this day. It's very cement. There's not a lot of character to it. Oh, I thought you were making a point. I thought you were saying that UMass Amherst was the last office and that this one is Dartmouth.

No, no, no. You could do that too physically. It sucks the energy out. Yeah. Yeah, there is – It's not very bright. It's very – I don't know if it's true. The rumors were that UMass Dartmouth was that the architect was a Satanist.

And I forget what the style of architecture it is. But it's literally all cement. The whole place is cement. The floors are cement. The ceilings are cement. Gunmetal gray everywhere. Flavor is in full bloom at HelloFresh. Enjoy the taste of spring with chef-crafted recipes

That is HelloFresh.com slash KFC16. But so you like prove him so wrong, though.

Yeah. And that's got to be like the exact opposite. It was a great feeling. I mean, I look back on it very fondly. And then I, again, I, I am always thinking like, how can I re I'm never going to recapture that. How can I recapture something like that? And again, it happened two summers ago where I had the fucking mullet back and people were just going nuts. And I'm like, this is so simple and stupid, but people enjoy it.

I'm like, how can I get back to that? I don't – see, I think – and I'm not a person to take advice from. But I think I probably went through a bit of a phase of that and I think stopped doing that. Bro, I was just going to say you are the exact person because it's like you have to understand that what happened there like you can write like a harvest harvard business study on that like that shit is people don't make 1.6 million dollars in a fucking week that's crazy i wonder how many cities we got and same thing with saturdays for the boys though like you're not gonna have that again and i know maybe that's hard to swallow but like that is okay because it's like your MVP season.

It's like that was the best it's ever going to be. But you look at something like John, it's Saturdays for the Boys is what year? 2016. And then along the way, we try a few more things and this works, that doesn't work. But when you look back on it now it's like he has sad boy season he now has a fucking sketch show he can hang his hat on saturday for the boys like your career is a long fucking thing you know and people would kill for like one of those and you already got one the irrelevancy scares me a little bit like becoming

relevant yeah i know that's a big thing at barstool and like i'm not somebody who's like i used to religiously like check my followers and like see my growth and like go to websites to see like how many fucking followers i got in a month now i'm just kind of like i don't really care that much that's a that's a great corner to turn it is great but i also don't want to be irrelevant you know because this is my fucking this is how i make money but the but my argument for that would be what got you relevant was just being you and you kind of stopped being you when you started caring so much about following i mean that's not what you didn't care about that's true yeah when you started it that's true you didn't care about followers you know what he cared about websites you weren't drinking beers you cared about gas and beers. We still love drinking beers.

Bro, you put up 20 and 10. You average a double-double. Come on. We have a million people sit on that couch from here every Monday. And we're all working. We all have similar fears. And if you got here, it's for a reason. So just keep doing it.

That was the most inspirational I've ever heard Final Lord be. Don in like usually he's like just kill yourself like oh you're irrelevant kill yourself but like everyone who works here works here for a reason because they had at least a flash of something really good great whatever you want to call it and usually when you did that you weren't who you are now and i'm not saying go back to who you were, but try and have that mindset of, people like me, so I'm going to fucking, and it's hard, I think everyone here suffers from that, where it's hard to understand that

and hard to wrap your head around that. And checking that shit all the time is just going to fucking. There's two things I think you have to realize. I always, it's hard to explain. It's a little convoluted. But I was always thinking to myself, let's say me being myself, my ceiling is here. If I put on some sort of act or – let's – me and him always joke like if we just became hardcore right-wing Republicans, we could make more money, right?

And my ceiling would be here. But the amount of stress and angst and worry and all like fuck it right so you have to realize like your ceiling might be a little bit lower maybe you can't recapture that exactly but you'll be closer to that and happier doing it and the second thing you have to realize is you will never get fired for barstool you will always just make money it's okay you know i can't promise you promotions and raises and all that shit but like you are like part of the og gang and you still do enough work that like you'll just get a paycheck for life yeah that's true and but again i don't want to be like i i like doing stuff like this i like doing stuff like

the dozen whatever it is like I'll never say no to Like I don't know if I'm allowed to say this But we're doing a show Like that I'm in A reality show Like I'll never say no to anything Yeah do it man Fucking talk about it

But it's more just The one with Jackie Oh yeah yeah yeah We definitely talk about that Yeah yeah yeah So you're doing Most Dangerous Game Yeah fuck that Like I'd be miserable

But I'm gonna do it Wait you guys performing alliance right now yeah the Jackie Beers alliance I was also told to specifically not perform an alliance

by who by who by who I'm not gonna say I'm gonna tell you I'm like the most like I don't care yeah I would like to win

so here's the thing I could see you being the absolute worst reality show contestant ever because you'd be like i don't know maybe that maybe that'll like fuck the book but you know it's one of those things where it's like uh i think john said he's like undefeated in rock paper scissors because nothing's going on in his brain ever like like if you know if if tommy smokes

is trying to like game you and he's like but wait data Dana, he just always does the opposite because he's never thinking. He's never using his brain. I don't know. Maybe he'll coast to the championship. For me, I'm like, I know I'll be good at doing gross shit or whatever. You were on the other one, right? I was on BVA. Yeah, fuck that.

I'm getting nauseous just thinking. Yeah. Oh, I would never do any of these. But the Barstool vs. America was physical challenges. Yeah, that was a vacation. That was a vacation. So this one is like you live in the woods and you vote people off? Yeah.

Or you challenge people off? It's like one person wins. And I think you vote people off. Have you guys gotten a raise yet for these games? What's the prize? This one's $25,000. Oh, okay. So you did get a raise.

I didn't mean individually. I meant like is the prize. Yeah. $25,000. Like Barstool Survivor. Surviving Barstool is $10, okay. So you did get a raise. I didn't mean like individually. I meant like as a prize. Yeah. 25K, like a Barstool survivor, surviving Barstool is 10K. And it's like you stay in the office for a week. It sucks. Don't get me wrong.

They do go through their own form of hell. But it's like you just have to sleep like on a couch in your office for a week. 10K, you win, whatever. 25K is – It's a lot of money. It's a lot of money. But I don't know, man. a lot of money that's a lot of money but i don't know man like for me it's a fourth of what i donated it's a fourth that could be in my kids college fund right now bro the amount of money but instead it helped not cure but, but... God bless them. If it went to help research, I'm happy.

Yes, for sure. But $100,000 in the fight against ALS is like, unfortunately, sadly, a fucking drop in the ocean. $100,000 in Dana Beer's bank account radically changes your life. I would be riding high still. Yeah. Yeah, man. Idiot. I know.

So that's the sort of decision-making we can expect on most dangerous games. Yeah, so I was just going to say, Jackie, I don't strategize. I really don't. I'm not a person that's going to try and pull any mind games. Surprisingly, Jackie is. I know. Jackie plays the game a little bit. No, but I'm the same way.

I don't intend to. I'll go where the wind blows. But you do. Yeah, you want to win win so you do what you got to do but i'm more just like ah whatever okay imagine that like like i always wanted to see colorado so it's dana b at like a like a confessional and they're like so what made you backstab Jackie at the challenge in the woods? And he just goes, whatever. I remember at BVA, there was a hot dog eating contest or something. And for some reason, I screwed over White Sox Dave. And then they were like, why did you do that? I'm like, I don't know.

First of all, because it's White Sox Dave. There's nothing deep there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever. Right, right. Yo, anarchy, man. Whatever. Right, right. Just happens. Yo, anarchy, man. Chaos is a ladder.

Maybe you should just go out there and make an alliance day one and day two break it. Fuck it. I don't know if I'm allowed to, and this is going against the alcoholic thing I was saying. I think I have to get drunk before the challenge is. I have to. I'm almost positive you're not allowed to, but just do that on the low. I'm not good with bugs. I'm not going to work without a buzz on. Can't go to the workplace sober i'm not good with bugs i'm not good with dude that is the number one thing like i i don't think i like any of it for i mean i know

i hate the physical challenges i really don't like the the thing about barstool reality shows is you you backstab people on reality shows, and then you stay with them. Everyone else, you go home. You never see them again. You look at these people in the face the next day. So I don't like that, but I for sure am not doing more. I have to live outside. Oh, it's going to suck.

That's crazy. That just goes back to what I was saying. I love attention, boys. I love attention. So listen. So then here's the thing. You have this opportunity coming up. Everything we're talking about,

why don't you show up? You seen Major League 2, the movie? Fuck. I was going to say show up like Charlie Sheen goes through this identity crisis. You're Charlie Sheen in Major League 2. Charlie Sheen in Major League 1, he's the man. He has a fucking leather jacket

and fucking a mullet and he comes out of the pen and he throws gas and everybody loves him. He's a wild thing. In the second movie, he sells out. He's corporate. He's in a suit and everyone hates him. And then he comes back as the fucking wild thing and it's awesome. So you gotta

roll out to Barstool vs. America or whatever. Most dangerous game and have a mullet. Show up with a mulletool versus america or whatever most dangerous game and have a mullet show up with a mullet well you can't i guess have a mullet but you can you can show up doing something stupid and show up with a 30 rack and just be like i'm here to drink and be a menace and people will love you i know they will love you they'll be like uh like everybody hates like the tommies of the reality world right and then you'll be the guy they're like but who's that drunk guy under that tree over there? That would be awesome. I do not want to be wallpaper.

That's the other thing. Yeah, man. No, no, no. My career is like – Well, you've never been that. I know. But even on shows, I don't want to be boring. The first season of BVA, I pissed myself twice just to make maybe two people laugh.

I don't think I knew that. That's amazing. That's a good memory. I mean, you walked right into radio and said that you butt-chug beers. Yeah, see, that's what I'm saying. I'm best when I'm not even trying to be funny. Mama Beers was not happy with that one, right?

Yeah, Mama Beers was not happy. This is like the fucking mindfuck of it all. It's like, all right, but then that feels like I'm trying to be funny. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get that. For me, when I'm funny, it's by accident. That's hard. It's hard to capture the accident

funny. I got the best fucking job in the world. I literally paid to drink. You are a goddamn golden retriever. It's so funny. You're a golden retriever who's mad at his owner and five minutes later he's like, oh, you want to play fetch?

I mean, when I boil it it down i get paid to drink if i if yeah well dude let me tell you something uh we're on a rocket ship right now with pirate water i know we are that is that is one thing that you can rest assured is going to keep on rolling that's the reason i get to go to the last this whole year I have places I'm going like cool-ass shit just because of PirateWire. Are you going to any of the festivals? I think I'm going to go to – what's it called? The Calgary Stampede. I don't know if that's a festival. But have you heard of that?

I know the – It's like a rodeo. The arena is called the Saddle Dome in Calgary. Is that where it is? Yes. That's next month. Indy 500. Dude, all the shit you're worried about,

like staying relevant and being on camera and getting money and all that, you have a brand like Pirate Water is going to just throw money. I know. You'll be the guy who does all this stuff. We're selling it. They'll do that until the wheels come off. I love them for that.

All of that. Pirate Water will take care of that. And then you work on all the other stuff. I'm too hard on myself. You are. Everybody at Barstool is. Not everybody. Let's hang on a second. Not everybody.

You're actually right. The vast majority of people are not. The people who don't need to be are way too hard on themselves. Everyone else is not hard enough. That's a great way to put it. But the people who don't need to be, who are, are – it's like you're there for a reason and being hard on yourself and all that shit. But people probably – specifically in your case, I'm sure it's like, I could drink beers and do that job. It's fucking hard to be the face of anything, and you get a lot of hate, and you get a lot of expectations,

and you have to – and it's not like digging ditches and curing cancer, but it's not easy either. And also, you gain a lot of weight when you're the beer guy. You can't be the beer guy and be skinny. It's one or the other, boys. I think you're good right now. Can you maintain this? I can maintain this. If you're 6'3", 260, and you're the beer boys. I think you're good right now. Can you maintain this? I can maintain this. If you're 6'3",

260 and you're the beer guy, I think you're okay. I know. It's just when it gets to 280 and that's a problem. That's a problem. We can't be pushing three bills. You can't be a 300 pounder. You cannot be a 300 pound guy. That's just not good. But that's the beer guy life. It acts on quick, especially

when you get to 30 i was 26 doing this didn't get out i know that's that's the thing there is there is a shelf life on the ability to do that so but i'll never complain about the job i have or or the responsibilities i have it's just it's more like i want to do more and i sound like a fucking what's the word brown noser is that a thing yeah i see what you're saying but yeah you want to do more and I sound like a fucking what's the word brown noser is that a thing yeah I see what you're saying but yeah you want to do more but it's you know it's not the easiest thing to pull off yeah I wish more people understood that and like would if if everybody knew how like hard it is or how stressful it is to put yourself out there I think a lot more people

would like I will follow or I will subscribe or I will click or whatever but you know trying to convince those people is not always the easiest thing. I'm also thankful because I'm kind of in my own world at this point. Nobody really – By the way, that's invaluable. You don't have anybody breathing down your neck. You don't have anybody telling you to do anything. Just like I do fire water.

It used to be my boy, Loud Sean. I came up in the rafters. That was my guy. I used to be able to go to him and just like anything – not even just anything I needed, but more like, hey, should I be doing something right now? He'd be like, yeah, like go do this. Right, right.

Now you're kind of your own. Go produce Deion Sanders documentary. All right, cool. Go live in Mississippi? Yeah. That sucks. You were in Mississippi for like a year. Yeah, a whole year.

That's great. What were you doing down there? Nobody talked about that. No, I was just, I was in the best shape of my life. Were you? Yeah. Were you? Yeah. Were you hanging out with people?

It was just like work. There was a couple barstool people there, but it was boring as hell. There was nothing to do. At least you were still paying New York rent, though.

I was. I was. $1,700 a month for a year. That was one of the worst business decisions ever. Right up there with giving away all the money

to the Fratys. Paying for an extremely expensive New York apartment that you didn't see for a single year straight. Crazy. Yep. That's the Dana Beers experience. It is. You never know what you're going to get. All right. Let's talk about skipping Marina's wedding.

You know what I was telling you? It's rocket ship. I was on the biggest rocket ship. I was chugging beers fucking at the court side with David Bocciari at game six. I'm on your side on that, dude. I don't know. I'm going to say something stupid. Okay, we'll end it there.

No, but. The Dana Beard experience, folks. Ups and downs. There's never anything. I don't know. I think right now you're on the part of the roller coaster that's just like zooming. I'm just waiting for the inevitable.

I honestly think if you just ride the wave, I think you have many more. I think you're so... We feel old, but you'll do this shit until you're like 60. You're going to have a bunch of ups and a bunch of downs. I'll be doing the Beards for you until I'm 35. The next Dana Beard thing that catches... I know. gonna have a bunch of ups and a bunch of downs but the next one i'm 35 oh the the the next dana

beers thing that catches oh it's gonna i know i and i'm sorry for rambling again but like the other thing about this job is you never know never know yeah can be tomorrow like you know i got a dm from the bengals the other day like hey you want to do chili content with us i'm like where did that come from that's that's a good thing to remember. People would kill for that. That's cool. So it's like you never really know. Tomorrow you could go to Cincinnati and film some chilly content, and Joe Burrow decides he likes you, and you're like his right-hand man, and next thing you know, the roller coaster's

back at the top. Let's get that roller coaster going up a little bit. Everybody give Dana Beers a follow.
