Vroom! AFC Radio on the Barstool Sports Network. I, I, uh,
you know how it's ridiculous that I'm a father?
Yeah. Just, like, utterly absurd.
Just, like, it'll just never be normal
that I have kids and shit.
And I know that, for a fact.
And I, and I keep waiting for it
to maybe change. Like one day set in?
Yeah, and it just doesn't. And every single
day, I'm reminded that it's ridiculous
that I'm a father.
But not because of me.
I think I'm the normal one.
I think the other, the parenting world is the weird – they're the weird ones. In my little experience with it, I would agree.
Right?
So – and I'm always seeing these things, just like little nuances and things about the parenting world that I'm learning. Although, sorry to interrupt. I would say, I said in my little experience, now that I think about it,
kids and parents alike, I don't know which one of them,
maybe it's both of them, are kind of gangster.
Like when I used to beat the shit out of kids, no one used to say nothing.
Well, you're a camp counselor?
I was a camp counselor.
No one fucking told me.
I don't know if the kids would complain to the parents and the parents wouldn't care
or the kids would keep their mouth shut, but no one. I didn't know if the kids would complain to the parents and the parents wouldn't care or the kids would keep
their mouth shut,
but no one,
I didn't get talked to once.
I beat the shit out of kids
for like five years.
It was a different time, bro.
It was a different time
and that actually ties in nicely.
It ties in nicely to this
because I know it sounds like
cliche and whatnot,
but there are times
where I'm just reminded of like
in my day sort of shit you know.
I just watch the parents.
You know.
More specifically.
Stereotypically but just factually speaking.
The mothers.
Go crazy over things.
And the latest is.
They just randomly.
Installed a vending machine.
In my kids school.
And it's like they wanted to just. Drop a vending machine in my kids' school. And it's like
they wanted to just drop a stick of
dynamite in a fucking room
full of gunpowder. It is...
I can't think of anything, like, more...
Like, you don't have to do this, you know?
Like, what do you need this fucking vending machine for?
That is now going to be the biggest
fucking headache for them, but I am relishing
every single second of it.
Why does having a vending machine matter?
One way or the other?
Because they,
it has like real candy and good snacks in it.
Yeah.
And the parent,
the moms are not happy about that.
And I love it.
It's,
it's dude.
It's like there there's,
there's a WhatsApp chat with all the parents.
I,
and again,
I,
I know.
Well,
I,
but I, I, i like to be in these
things uh i i've always said before like when when when you're divorced it's like if you're not in
the household when you don't hear any of that yes so i'm like i gotta be on some of these email
chains and these and these text chains and stuff so but then i also just love it for my entertainment
value uh i never chime in but one day i'm thinking about just dropping, just like playing devil's advocate in there.
But they're just like, what's going on with this vending machine?
There's no nutritional value.
And my kids keep coming home and asking for money to spend in the vending machine.
And this person's got to be responsible.
And we've got to email this person.
And then so it's all these moms.
And they're all just saying the same thing over and over again.
No one's saying anything of value. They're just repeating themselves. And then the principal's all these moms and they're all just saying the same thing over and over again. No one's saying anything of value, which is they're just repeating themselves.
And then the principal wrote an email and kind of clapped back.
And I was like, fuck, yeah, let's go.
So now I'm just I want to I want to maybe like I think I'm going to get involved somehow and be like, first of all, pop tarts are catching strays.
Pop tarts are what the parents are really focused on.
It's part of a healthy breakfast.
A Pop-Tart is as healthy as it got in my house, bro.
Oh, sorry.
You guys didn't have dessert with breakfast?
Yeah.
Have you heard of fruit filling?
Thank you very much.
Those are breakfast pastries, and they deserve to be treated with respect.
We could talk about some of the other things.
Maybe the nutritional value is not there, but Pop-Tarts is not the one.
But the principle was like, we're going to take some of the things out.
We'll replace it with some healthy snacks.
Like the candy is getting taken out, but the snacks, they stay.
You know what you should do?
Recommend mango slices.
Not just a bag of wet mango slices.
Just so you guys know, mango slices are pretty hot in the streets right now.
By the way, I went over to Feist's to go film a sketch.
And as soon as I walked in, he gave me one of the mango popsicles.
Good.
I understand where he's coming from.
The popsicles that you made.
It was not refrozen, so it was a standard popsicle, but it was just the mango.
But it was good.
So you walked out and I was like, you gotta eat this.
And he was like, 10 out of 10.
I mean, it sounds like, you know, it's like refreshment on a stick.
You know what I mean?
With a little spice.
What did you say you said?
There's just endless amounts of flavor.
It keeps it coming back from the bottom.
Dude, who's the brand?
Who's the brand that sells these fucking outshine outshine
we just gave you we just gave you the tagline of a millennium there's endless amounts of flavor
like give me the address we'll send the invoice fucking a uh but the the principal wrote wrote
an email being like we'll get rid of the, but the snacks are staying because, like, shut the fuck up.
And she was like, I just think back to last year when Hot Takis took the school by storm and the smiles on all the kids' faces when they were able to get Hot Takis.
And, like, it was a great moment.
I was like, hell yeah, bitch.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Those are my kind of moments.
Sorry I'm making your kids fucking happy.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Sorry. Like, you know, we gave children the joy of a snack you fucking assholes and then kind
of like ended with like a like a sub like a sub tweet kind of being like and by the way how about
you parent your own fucking kids yeah like just tell your kids no you don't you if you don't want
them spending money on the vending machine don't give them money and like that that was a big
complaint was like my it's annoying.
My kids come home, and they're asking me for money because so-and-so had M&Ms that they got from the vending machine today.
I don't know.
Say fucking no to them.
Yeah, having kids is fucking annoying.
Right.
Yeah, no fucking kidding.
When you send your kids out into the world, there's going to be a bunch of shit that maybe you have to prepare them for.
And I think if we're getting beat by vending machines that we as a uh parental society are failing if vending machines are our again
you brought it up last last uh episode like it's not getting mowed down by machine guns
it's the vending machines that we're going to talk about that's that's going to be the outrage
let's worry about that i I almost want to be like donate another one
to the school or something.
Have a plaque on it
donated by the Clancy family
and have it loaded with Entenmann's and all
the good shit. Mangoes.
What was that fucking video game
at arcades where
you'd step and your cop shield would pop up?
Yeah. Yeah. Donate that.
You're like, video games and candy
in this room.
It's got the cock action on it.
Thank Shay's dad.
I said next, I hope they put in a cigarette vending machine.
Pulling those fucking...
Those are awesome. If you go to a bar
that still has one of those sitting in there,
you're in the right place.
Buy it. And you'll be able to afford to.
Most of them are defunct or whatever.
They don't even work.
I meant the bar.
Oh, by the whole bar.
By the whole bar.
By the whole place.
Dude, the thought of going to a bar, I mean, it must have only been really functioning
when cigarettes were worth like five bucks, so you could put like a five or a ten in there.
Because now you'd have to put like two tens, five and a one yeah i don't know five yeah like
it like like i don't even remember what because it just wouldn't make logical sense to have
actually nowadays i i thought one of the things i thought was funny when when i saw it for the
first time was like vending machines that have like 200 headphones and shit yeah like in airports
and stuff it's like you could really just put anything in a vending machine if you wanted to.
You can just fucking,
you can basically get a car that way.
It'll just show up at your house now.
But the idea of being at the bar
and being like,
ah, shit,
forgot my smokes.
Like give me a five
and you just crank that fucking,
pull that thing.
Which like isn't a ton,
but like whenever I do,
because I feel I don't buy that often,
I have to buy a lighter too.
It's like 24 bucks or something like that.
Is it really not? I remember it being like, maybe something like 18. like 18 i forget yeah i remember it when it hit like 14 15 people were
like uh what the fuck yeah and i'm sure it's only and i was like that's like 10 years ago at least
where like it started getting uh getting crazy with it the tax or whatever so yeah i'm sure it's
they should just make it like 30 because people guess what they'll buy it it's called an addiction yeah they will pay
whatever they need to so uh but yeah the great vending machine war is is burning white hot i
just i don't i also want to be like like yo i've seen your kids at birthday parties. They live on Doritos. Your kids run on Nacho Cheese Doritos.
I see him.
He's got the fucking white, the red shit all over his face.
I know your kids.
I know that she eats this and he eats that.
And now all of a sudden you're going to be, you know, the health department.
Get the fuck out of here.
That's okay.
I guess, like, it's just give them healthy food sometimes and let them have snacks sometimes.
I don't know if parents know this.
It seems like it's really easy.
I mean –
And also tell them yes sometimes and no sometimes.
Yeah, right.
That works also.
Speaking for non-parents, two parents, we look at it and go, that looks super easy.
Yeah, when people are complaining –
It looks like it sucks, but it looks like you either go
no or yes.
And that's about it.
You have to, you can flip a coin every time it's a big decision.
I also think, um, for the most, like the stuff that, that the parents complain about being
hard is not hard.
And the stuff that's hard doesn't get enough.
Really?
Yeah.
Like what?
Like, like, like every new parent going through like the sleep, going through no sleep,
sleep deprivation is like,
I didn't know it was going to be this hard.
And I'm like,
I was screaming from the mountaintops being like,
it fucking ruins your life.
You and your spouse will be pushed to the brink.
You will be unhealthy.
You'll be tired.
You'll suffer at work.
You'll be miserable.
Like all that. And, and like, like to me like the snack issue is like i don't who fucking cares you know i'll
make them a nice dinner and bro do you know how hard it is to like fuck up a person dude i always
point out there's the there's that there's that um there's a documentary those those kids in
brazil that literally eat garbage to stay alive and i'm like if those kids can survive eating actual trash i think they eat like styrofoam and shit uh your
kid will be okay having a bag of doritos every night like it is no big deal i'm not even talking
physically physically it's almost impossible but also like man it's so hard to fuck up a person
dude they're like dude they're there it's just like just be don't strive for just be like i don't
know sometimes you do bad shit sometimes you do good shit okay that's what a person is my
perfect segue to my new favorite person do you know sean strickland the mma guy who just
i know yeah have you seen you're gonna love this i just started following him sean strickland
biggest upset in MMA history,
beats Stylebender, becomes the middleweight champ.
And he did a post-game or a post-match press conference.
Bro.
They ask him, like, the dumbest, one of the dumbest, like, you know.
I guess I don't know him all that well,
but you'll find out about him in a second. Like, I guess his story is really, like, you know, he guess I don't know him all that well, but you'll find out about him in a second.
Like, I guess his story is really like, you know, he went through trials and tribulations to get there.
To go from everything you've been through to now holding that belt that says you're the baddest man in the world on the planet.
But what do you think about that?
Yeah, thank God for child abuse, right?
Fuck yeah.
My depressed memories.
Fucking, you really,
you got me to
where I needed
to be,
man.
Yeah,
dude,
you were fucking
awesome,
man.
All of the
years of abuse,
you really,
you really made
me the man
I had to be
today.
I fucking
know you guys.
I fucking
know you guys.
How awesome
is that,
dude,
man?
That is so
fucking great.
And his captions are even funnier.
He goes, Dana White, quote, Izzy, you had one job.
He goes, so how does this work?
Do I just go woke?
Nike?
China?
Money?
I'm ready.
Let's go, man.
Let's sell out.
Yo, Wheaties, put me on that damn box.
What a fucking legend.
Yeah, I'm obviously completely fucked mentally
and emotionally i fight humans for a living they put me in a cage and i try and kill a man
and you guys like it things weren't great
things could have gone differently man if it if it wasn't for the fucking vending machine in middle school and in elementary school,
I wouldn't be beating humans' faces for a living today.
You know, the other thing is that school goes from fucking kindergarten to eighth grade.
So, like, eighth graders need fucking snacks, bro.
They need snacks.
Like, yeah.
We had, I think my middle school had vending machines.
My high school had, well, my first high school definitely had Had vending machines My high school had
Well my first high school
Had definitely had vending machines
Second high school
Had a whole building
Thanks
The
It's called tuck shop
Really
You could just go
You had cookies
Cakes
Fucking candies
But that's also
For the people
Because people were
Living there right
Yeah yeah yeah
So that makes a little more sense
Because it's like
You gotta give them something
When they go home I guess
But like I I mean, when I was in school, we had, I can't even imagine.
I don't know what the real food is like now.
But like we had fucking deep fried fries like in the fucking fryer.
You know, we had all that shit.
Deli sandwiches, like fake cheese steaks with like monkey meat in it.
And then we had big fat chocolate chip cookies that were like undercooked.
They were 60 cents.
They were amazing.
There were 60 fucking cents.
I would buy like 10 of them.
Like that's lunch today.
I was eating these cookies, man.
And nobody said a fucking word.
Look how we turned out.
You should just pretend like as a bit.
You'll probably get more parents agreeing with you than you think.
Like you haven't learned any new information since like the 70s. Like with the pop-tart stuff like i don't know reagan's complete breakfast yeah
ketchup was a vegetable so it checks out tomato right yeah man you know what it's crazy to think
as i was just thinking of those prices like fries were 90 cents the cookies were 60 and i remember
like i i feel so fucking old being able like i'm gonna tell my kids stories
of like i was paying with change my kids have no idea of changes they they have no fucking clue
what dude metal money is europe and they're like damn yeah right right yeah for real that that
they're like if i asked them now like what is how much is a penny quarter dime they'd be like
we don't even know what those are. God damn.
The things I throw at the cashier after?
I don't know.
Yeah.
The garbage that they hand me?
It was your reward for buying things.
You got to throw change, throw shrapnel at the mouse person behind the plastic barrier.

video about it or something redact some names and whatnot but whenever I talk about like... Oh, by the way, so I tweeted over the
weekend
Keegan got kicked out of his
Little League. I saw that. Well, I was going to ask you
about it, but I figured you've got to do it from a microphone.
I mean, I kind of did it on purpose
to make this happen, and now I'm
complaining about it, so
whatever. But like,
the amount of people tweeting me being like
this is nothing to be proud
of like like this is so this is blah blah blah i'm like bro you got kicked out because of a
fucking township zoning borders i just like had a little fun with it bro and beat a child with that
right like god you know but i i used to all the time too right like i'd be like i'm gonna piss
people off with this and people get pissed i'm what the fuck? You fucking – But it's just like –
Well, now I'm annoyed.
It backfired.
Everything backfired.
But it's like, you know, just shut the fuck up.
How about that?
Giving me, you know, the parenting – reading me the parenting riot act.
It's like, yeah, we're born on the – he was born on – lives on the other side of the border.
Shut the fuck up.
But it was a big – no, it's literally a border.
No, I know about it.
Oh, yeah.
But the – it was funny because like – big, no, it's literally a border. Like, no, I know about it. Oh yeah. But the,
uh,
it was funny.
Cause like,
wait,
what do you mean?
Literally a border.
America doesn't have borders.
I was going to say,
borders are imaginary.
I didn't just weld them open.
By the way,
one of my favorite running things.
Now,
if you guys have not,
if you're KFC radio fans and you have not switched over to Barstona radio during the days yet please do tommy trump is one of the
best things like tommy when he ran for barcelona new york president took on the trump persona and
he just hasn't let it go i think he's just a republican now it's great but uh the uh i was
gonna do another one minute man on on more childhood drama. This is another thing
I just can't wrap my head around.
And I knew this was the case.
We all know this. Childhood sports
is out of control.
One of the teams in my son's
league,
the 15-year-olds, where you're getting pretty
serious at that point.
You're a high school baseball player.
You've got to be serious. Right almost a junior i think i was a junior
no sophomore so i didn't get my i didn't get my license till senior year though so would i be 16
yeah i turned 18 right before i went to high school uh college i was an 18 august of college
so i was 17 when i was a sophomore so i I guess I was still a sophomore, yeah. But they didn't have one kid on the team from the proper town.
Really?
Not one.
They had a full – what it is is there's three towns that are eligible to be in this league.
But then within – if you live within those towns and you go to a private school, you're still allowed to go because it's like we can't tell you –
if your parents wanted to send you to private school but you live in the same town yeah we
can't tell you where to send your kids but then kids who go to that same school who don't live
in the town are like oh i go to that same school too so i'm eligible and they kind of just like
let that slide for like years and years and years so there's all you know iona and all these these
schools these private schools that have kids from the Bronx and New Rochelle.
And these coaches take it so seriously.
They just recruit these kids who are fucking like Danny Alamante status.
So the league eventually was like, we pay.
I think the league was like, we pay for all the fields and the upkeep and the this and the that.
And then all these kids who don't pay any of those taxes are benefiting and i think when they found out not one kid was eligible they were like this
is this is bullshit so that i think that coach filed a lawsuit and that forced the the league
to then play like hardball back and be like boom line in the sand like if you're not within these
town borders everybody's out including like all i want is just keegan to play with the same kids play like hardball back and be like boom line in the sand like if you're not within these town
borders everybody's out including like all i want is just keegan to play with the same kids he's
been playing with yeah he has a bunch of friends now that all of a sudden he's not gonna be able
to play and they cashed our registration checks and didn't tell us till like a week before the
season started so now all the other tryouts from other leagues were closed so you had a bunch of
fucking parents were roaring on that one.
But it was like, this guy's an asshole for filing a lawsuit.
And these guys are fucking assholes for ruining, you know, six-year-old's times.
Like, you could just be like, I don't know, the babies can still play t-ball.
And we got to figure it out for the older kids.
Like, there's just no common sense anymore.
There's just no common sense with anything anymore.
Everything has to be black and white.
And it's just like, I was like, oh, fuck this guy.
Then I heard their side of the story.
I was like, oh, fuck that guy.
Fuck both you people.
Just let my five-year-old kid play.
Just let my kid play with his friends, you dumb assholes.
It just doesn't take, you can just look at it, be like, 12 years old and up.
It has to be really serious.
I don't know.
Everyone else can just fucking dick around.
Yeah.
Once you have puberty, you take a seat.
Yeah, done.
That's it.
Because some people would probably say, well, where do you draw the line?
Is it 12?
Is it 11?
Is it 10?
The biological line.
Yeah, done.
The line God drew.
Yeah, when people start throwing a little bit harder,
I think you throw a breaking ball.
Done.
I don't know.
Fucking jerk-offs.
But, yeah, I mean's I've been watching from afar
all of this for the last
seven years now and I think I'm just
biding my time before I dive
in and just go full
Joker just straight Heath Ledger
just like
as the Joker I would
have put like the parents on
one boat and the little league on another boat
and be like who's to blow each other up?
And here we go.
That's all I want to do is burn down my town with just psychological torture of all these assholes.
It's fucking unbelievable.
It's as bad as advertised.
When you see some of those stories and shit, you're like, how bad can it be?
It's again, these people completely completely lack common sense all of them that
that would make me
that that's the main reason
I don't know there's a lot of main reasons I don't have kids
that would be drive me up a what are you
talking about it's
just like like the I saw a clip the other
day like someone get like a catcher tag the
kid in the head and a mom went nuts
and it was like, was that necessary?
And they just stormed the field, and parents were screaming.
Tag on the head.
Yeah.
I knew, I guess, and obviously you're seeing clips, or you're seeing the worst of it, so
it makes you think worse, blah, blah, blah.
But every league had one of those parents.
But it seems like-
There are all those parents.
Right?
Yeah. There was always a group.
I always say, I think, like, probably one of the reasons I am the way I am is, like, we had this group of dads.
Come to all our hockey games, come to all our practices, lose their minds.
Like, legit would be drunk at, like, 8 a.m.
Like, not like I'd be drinking a beer
Like it wasn't
Like new drunk
That day drunk
They were drinking
And they'd be like hanging over the glass
And screaming
But by the way they're cool guys
By the way they're my heroes
I want to be them
They were fucking awesome dudes
But like they
They would do that
And they would pound on the glass
And shit like that
And my dad would always just sit in the corner
And just read the paper
And I was always like it's cool that dad's not doing that
But those guys are cool too
But what it is
It's awesome to be you It sucks to, like that – it's awesome to be you.
It sucks to be those kids.
But it's awesome to be like, I have a dad that doesn't do this, but I'm happy yours do because this shit's funny.
It's awesome.
That's really what it's all about.
I don't want to have to live that, but I want to laugh at it.
But again, I want to stress, those dudes are the men.
And when we went away on hockey trips, you know what crew my dad hung out with?
Bang.
Just not on regular Saturday mornings.
Right, totally.
Guys, there's a time and a place for this behavior.
I'm down with it.
It's just not on Saturday morning.
That's awesome.
That is great yeah there is there is part of me that
i'll tell you this much i'm either gonna stay exactly as i am like very removed or i'm gonna
dive in head first and be like that guys you know what i mean no half measures like i'll go become
a full fucking baseball dad before i'm ever like Eh kind of in the mix
I'm either gonna be just chilling
Or I'm gonna be like
You fucking struck out again
Screaming at the umpires and shit
There is something fun about just being like
Like doesn't people have to know they're assholes
And they just don't care
Or do you think they go home and they're like
Do you think they go home and they're like
Wait what's the big deal honey
Do you think they go home and they say like
Oh my god that was so embarrassing
Or do you think they go home and go like Fuck yeah what's the big deal honey do you think they go home and they say like oh my god that was so embarrassing or you think they go home and go like fuck yeah and i'll
do it again i think that one fuck yeah i'll do it again yeah i think you know i was about something
today i forgot i was reading this story someone and it was like one of those things like a very
cliche line where it's like this person has every reason to be a dickhead like they're famous and
they're young and they're cool oh yeah yeah like right. That just gives you a pass to be a fucking asshole.
Like, of course.
Anyone would be like, of course he's an asshole.
He's got everything to him.
And I, like, for some reason when I read it that time, I was like, I actually, I always
agree with it.
And I've probably said it a million times.
And for some reason, it's time where I was like, I reject that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You don't just get the pass.
No one.
But even that, like, no, no. Because I was thinking that about him with that arrest being like, you know,
all 16 of his songs were like the top one through 16 of the Billboard number one album.
No, but it was like.
Taylor does that kind of stuff.
I mean, he had a lot.
Yeah.
He had all 16 were in the top 100.
All like five were in the top 20, including number one.
I mean, he had it going on.
And I was like, yeah, if you got a little mouthy with a cop, I could understand that happening.
But then when I saw it happen, I was like, he shouldn't have done that.
And he knew it, too.
He was just like, oh, fuck.
I don't want to go to jail.
But they have every reason to be a dick.
No one has every reason.
Because reason one is just don't.
Don't do it.
That's it. You just don't don't do like that's it you just don't it's just there there is just a choice yeah to be one or not be one
doesn't matter how given everything is like how not even not given given the right word earned
or whatever like how what you had like there's always you never have reason number one don't
right just don't it's very i like that reason number one don't. It's very sad. I like that. Reason number one, don't. That applies to being an asshole.
That applies to everything.
Just don't.
It's like, I don't know.
You could just not cause a scene.
You could just not say that to that person.
You could just not make that, you know, just don't.
Don't be a dickhead.
Dude, I like that a lot.
Reason number one, don't.
Reason number one, no.
Don't.
I have said it ten times now. I don't know. It seems really easy. Just don't be an one no don't i i've said it 10 times now i don't know it seems really easy
just don't be an asshole to people because at the end of the like and i and you know what and
when you have like if you have you've been dealt a really shitty hand like a guy like sean strickland
was like channeled it into something i guess good you know what i mean like like even even if things
are really bad when you do have a free pass to like not i, I'm not just talking like you're rich and you're famous.
Like I was abused and all that shit.
And you know, people always say like, those are the people who turn around and commit
like all these heinous acts and shit.
It's like, but there are people who go through that and, and don't, and don't do it.
So, you know, that's a little bit of a different story where you're like, you're fucked up
in the head, but like you always can choose to just not.
Dude, not doing anything is the easiest thing to do. Oh that's the other thing too you know what's like so much easier than like being
a rapist just like hanging out in your house not being just chilling raping people is so
fucking hard and convoluted and and this messy thing it's just like you could just stay on your
couch and i don't know, watch Netflix.
Of all the things I've done in my life, I'd probably say not raping has been the easiest.
Cause the least amount of sweat.
I will put a guarantee on it.
John's tornado.
I will never rape anybody.
And not even out of the morality, just out of the effort.
Just out of the effort.
There might come a day where I'm going to go, you know what, I want to take that i want to take that but i'm not gonna i'm not gonna just because it's a whole big
thing it's a whole production i don't want to do this song and dance all right it's a whole dog
and pony show to rape somebody so i'm just gonna chill on my couch really though you know that
should be the that should be a new argument that we throw in there for why people shouldn't rape
like judges should be like you're aware it throw in there for why people shouldn't rape.
Judges should be like, you're aware it's 2023, the amount of entertainment you have at your fingertips.
Back in the day, you're a caveman.
You're just like, I'm going to kill that animal, and I'm going to fuck that thing.
And now it's like... Caveman rape's okay.
Caveman rape was...
You can't apply today's morality to the whole of this.
Can you even consent if you don't even have language yet?
You know what I mean?
Come on.
But nowadays, like, man, have you been on the internet?
Have you seen streaming services?
All the music, all the entertainment?
TikTok?
Have you been on TikTok?
Have you tried TikTok before you raped somebody?
Judges should have no leniency.
They should just be like, you're going to jail for life because you could have been on TikTok instead of raping that girl.
No.
TikTok.
I actually thought of yesterday the – I found out why I don't like Red Zone.
Yeah.
That was your hot take.
That was your spiciest.
Bro, I remember writing this blog back in Milton and Dave yelling downstairs, what the fuck is this?
And I was like, I don't know.
I don't really like Red Zone.
It's an emotion that I have. It's an opinion
and a feeling that I exude.
I think Dan even texted me
and was like, we've all been Gchat back in the day.
He's like, what the fuck? I was like, I don't know.
It's too much for me.
It's like, dude, and I try
every year. I try again. I tried again
for the first like Half hour yesterday
And it was like
Now we go over to Cincinnati
I was like
I was like what the fuck is happening
I'd rather watch the 13 to 3 game just play out
Than like
It's like it's you're under attack
You're under attack
I felt like I was Dude I'm sure it was probably a little bit worse I felt like I was at Pearl Harbor play out. It's like, it's you're under attack. You're under attack.
Dude, I'm sure it was probably a little bit worse.
I feel like I was at Pearl Harbor. I was like, what the fuck is always happening right now?
There's so much
going on. I just want
to fucking chill. It's Sunday
afternoon, you goddamn animals!
Bro,
I did not think a human representation of Red Zone would be that funny.
Let's go over to Cincinnati!
Why is Scott Hanson yelling at me? I haven't even had lunch yet.
That is so good, man.
Uh-oh, everyone, Titans just got into the red zone.
I'm like, shut up!
Even just the notion of like, somebody's crossed the 20-yard line.
We got to go there.
They've crossed an imaginary line.
Get us a camera in there right now.
It is funny, though, how well Red Zone's natural balance works out.
There's only like a couple times where they have to go like eight screens.
And everyone's like, holy shit, it's happening.
For the most part, there's only a couple at a time.
It's a very natural order of things in Red Zone.
And guess what?
Sometimes you miss good stuff.
Had I not been watching the Browns game, I would not have watched a –
I don't know who commentators are, but whatever a commentator was,
just step all over his dick.
What are you saying?
Because this is a quote.
The Browns have just scored or whatever.
Speaking of the Browns, very weird how upset that franchise gets
at being
called exactly
what their mascot is.
What is that mascot? It's an elf!
His name is Elfie!
I heard it wasn't actually an elf.
I'm 99%
sure his name is Elfie.
I'm going to say I'm 100% sure his name is Elfie.
Maybe it's Brownie the elf. Brownie is probablyfie. Maybe it's Brownie the Elf.
Brownie is probably it. I think it's
Brownie the Elf. That makes more sense.
Brownie the Elf.
It's at the 50 yard line.
It's on all your merch.
It's an elf. He called you the Elf.
You're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, buddy.
Let's have some decorum here.
Don't call us exactly what we are did you see
the dude uh the bangles guy his quote jamar chase yeah great is that who it was that's awesome
that is fucking hilarious um but i think the browns have just scored or whatever they maybe
deshaun watson just made a nice pass and whoever the commentator was was like this is the freest
i've seen deshaun watson play since
he decided not to play back in 2021 and i was like oh did he decide oh is that what it was
that a tough decision for him to make he just made a personal choice he's decided to sit out
for him i'm glad he overcame whatever made him decide to give up on his dream for a year.
That is fucking great.
The report for today's episode comes from Marine Layer.
It's official.
I found the softest t-shirt mankind has ever made.
Dude, you know me.
I've been on a crusade for this.
I've been pretty much my whole life has been about finding comfortable clothes
that also look good.
And Marine Layer has finally unlocked it and everyone else
is chasing it they're all chasing the holy grail but marine layer has found it it's the softest
thing you've ever touched uh and they figured out the perfect fit because like right now i'm wearing
the shirt too big for me but if i bought this same shirt in a large it was too small for me
and i'm stuck in between sizes marine layer whatever sizing
system they've figured out go with them because they figured out not only the material but the
sizing uh and they've got you for uh anything in between so they have a marge that's between
medium and large they should why did the world decide to boil down shirts to like three or four sizes?
Why is there not like six or seven?
That's what Marine Layer did.
They came out with large, medium, large, large.
We've got everything in between.
And right now, you can get up, whether you're going on a date or going to the office, you want to keep casual.
They have shirts for every occasion. And they've got their respun program where they take a bunch of old t-shirts and they will recycle it and give you $5 credit per shirt.
So bring in your old shirts, get money for it, and then get new Marine Layer shirts that are comfortable and stylish.
I would check out Marine Layer.
I'm giving Marine Layer.
I don't do it a lot where I'm like, oh, Marine Layer's got some cool stuff.
Marine Layer, Worth checking out.
I would venture to guess every
listener of this show, Marine
Lair has something you will like.
This is one of the sponsors that gives us a
promo code to buy stuff and
I look forward to it. I'm like, hell

What did you think of Ashton and Mula?
That stuff makes me
very uncomfortable.
Oh, I thought –
No, just like –
Oh, yeah.
By the way, Aggie, come on, man.
What?
Oh, yeah.
And by the way, Kevin, come on, man.
That –
For those who aren't aware Someone tweeted at Kevin
Kevin was in a bit of a war
Saying you should never write those kind of letters
And someone said
What if fights did it
And Kevin said
I wouldn't write a letter
What the fuck
Bro
If you
Another KFC radio
Stamp on this one If you get convicted of rape radio stamp on this one, if you get convicted of rape, you're on your own, bro.
You are on your own.
If they asked me, I'd be like, he's always nice to me.
What was he like?
I don't know, but he's nice to me.
You know what?
That actually is fair.
If someone asked me the question, what do you think of him?
I'd say, he's never raped me.
Never even came close.
I never knew him to be a racist.
He's a nice guy.
If someone asked me to legally pen a letter on the record, I would say go fuck yourself.
I will write that on the record for you.
I will say he never raped me.
I was never even care about the...
I understand what's going on here.
I get that they're a close friend.
I know that it was a long time ago.
I know that there's not a lot of evidence.
It's a weird situation.
But just from a PR point of view,
you've got to be out of your fucking mind.
Yeah.
I would be like,
I even want to do this for you, dude,
because you fucked up or whatever. You really fucked up, out of your fucking mind yeah like i would be like i even want to do this for you dude because
like you fucked up or whatever like you really fucked up but you've lived an amazing life
otherwise and like but i'm just not going to submit a letter to a like another body of you
know another place that's gonna for sure become public saying your honor go easy on this rapist
i'm just not gonna do it even if Even if I believe, like people are like,
oh, you don't like, you know, you wouldn't,
even if you really felt that way, you wouldn't write it?
No.
No, there's a ton of things I believe and feel
that I don't put on the record.
Trust me on that.
I'm obviously kidding.
But like, I'd probably write a,
I wouldn't write a letter for a convicted rapist.
Yada, yada, yada.
But if they were like, can you just put into your own words your experience with him?
I'd be like, yeah, I don't know why any of this matters, but it seemed nice to me.
Like, why does my experience with him matter?
Like, if they did it with murderers, like, dude, this guy killed 100 people.
Never killed me.
When he came into my pizza shop, he was always a very pleasant man.
Right.
So what?
That was a time that he wasn't murdering.
He did the crime, right?
So what does this matter?
It really is so crazy.
And, like, I really hated the –
Ashton Kutcher was like, you know, basically think about his daughter.
Think about the fucking daughter of –
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The father of the daughter.
No, we're thinking about all the other daughters.
Right.
Which is why we're putting him in jail right right it's just it's crazy and i mean that's just it's
just a wild one from a dude who i mean i you know i gushed over ashton i was like our number one
guest ever he was so cool and then i was like whoa that was a misstep particularly for somebody who
is like super involved in sex trafficking not that they're the same but they are but they're
they are similar there's similarities to be uh when it comes to having like the empathy and the sympathy and the right like thought process.
Like I understand people who's thinking, but he's their friend and blah, blah, blah.
It's just that's the wrong way of thinking.
You have to come over here and think about it this way.
You would have thought those people would be thinking like the right way on this one, but they weren't.
Did you see the tweet?
You've got to think, though,
that they were like,
like, you know,
these are not going to be public, right?
Right? Right?
You swear to me they're not going to be public?
They're not going to be public.
They're not going to be public.
Ah, they were public!
Like, of course it's going to happen.
You guys have been super famous
for like your whole fucking life.
You have to know this is going to become public.
This tweet was so funny.
It says,
I know their PR told them
to sit in front of innocuous, normal person looking wall.
But unfortunately for them, I have also watched their Architectural Digest house tour and know exactly where this was filmed.
Wow.
That's maybe the best tweet of all time.
That is great.
If you're listening, the picture, it looks like they're just behind like a
wooden wall but in front of that is this beautiful infinity pool with these floating chairs
beautiful landscape and all this shit i mean and by the way i you know what would actually be a
really funny skit that you could do something like this without a border the posts post video scenes from ashton and mila
because i envisioned ashton going you didn't watch it i didn't know that i envisioned ashton
going like the fuck was that because he was like all right so um all right you know like being
very natural and mila kunis was like we have worked so hard over the years
in our foundation to prevent this sort of thing from happening we would never want this to happen
to anybody else and they actually kind of looked at her like yeah so danny like he was just being
like acting he was acting but making it sound natural yeah she was just fucking reading off
and i i actually thought about him probably in his head going, another take.
Yeah, take three.
Take ten.
I mean, it was, whoo.
I don't know what you do after you write a letter to prop up a convicted rapist, but it ain't that video.
It ain't that, man.
That one you got to just be like, just disappear for like, you know, pull a Mean Girls, disappear for a year.
Hopefully people just stop talking about that shit.
Before we go to voicemails,
can you just go like this
with your finger?
Is it still there?
What is that?
What?
All this stuff up here?
It's like black.
God damn it, Kevin.
I have glue
all over my fucking head.
It's like in your ear.
That's going to be in there.
I've been dumping acetone on my head for
fucking a whole weekend yeah glue everywhere it's a nightmare yeah you got it i was like does that
i thought it was gonna be food i was i genuinely i was like is that soap sometimes i get soap stuck
there but it was like black and then there was john this is a legitimate thought i thought that it might have been food i don't know how you would get food in your ear but it was like black. And then there was – John, this is a legitimate thought. I thought that it might have been food.
I don't know how you would get food in your ear, but that was – that being a real thought is kind of scary.
Oh, okay.
So the other day I went to –
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
This isn't that bad.
Oh, boy.
I went into the – I woke up, went to the – I don't know.
Here's what I'm trying to say is I'd been outside, and now I've probably gone to the gym.
And then I'd come home, and I was shirtless in front of the mirror,
about to take a shower to put clothes on and go back out.
And I went like this with my hair or something like that.
And I was like, where did all that chocolate come from?
Oh, my God.
And I was like, that must be chocolate.
And I went, it's chocolate.
I didn't even have a guess.
Dude.
Dude.
You had no idea?
You weren't like, oh, I was eating that candy bar in bed.
It has to be that.
You could eat it any time.
Oh, I was eating that candy bar in bed. It has to be that. You could eat it any time. Oh, I was eating that candy bar describes most of my life.
Bro, I'll never forget that you tried to shame me for ice cream.
And this is the life you lead.
I buy the candy bars individually.
I take three to four trips to the market per week.
Not individually. I buy big market per week. Not individually.
I buy big bags.
I buy those individually.
I don't buy five at a time.
All right.
Wait, real quick.
I got a couple one-time segments.
Okay.
There is...
We lead the league.
We lead the fucking world in one-time segments.
Well, here's the deal, dude.
They fucking told us we had to make segments to make it sellable.
For fucking seven years, they've never sold a single segment.
So there's no reason to have segments.
I was at a meeting last week, and the new girl said to Bree and Grace,
you got to make segments so we can sell them.
They're not going to sell, Bree and Grace.
Don't do it. I went like this. I went... I'm not going to do it right now, but I wanted to be like, no, you gotta make segments so they can sell them. They're not gonna sell Bree and Grace, don't do it. I went like this, I went
I'm not gonna do it right now
but I wanted to be like, no you don't!
You don't have to make segments, they will not sell them.
And that's not to say they haven't done sales
but they will not sell the segments.
It's not a segment. They never sell a segment.
It's never the segment. There's no reason for a segment
in podcast. If your podcast has segments
tell them to stop, there's no need.
Okay.
How stupid is that?
Advertisers need you to say a sentence in the beginning.
Like, now today's next segment named XYZ.
We're just going to drop a minute clipping.
Right.
Done.
The podcast works.
Shut up.
So when I wake up at like 6.30
I usually wake up
And I kind of like
Do whatever but I fall asleep pretty quick
But I always remember that like hour and a half
Of like back asleep
And it's always like really dumb stuff
But like it's kind of like
Almost like all high
Wait you're talking about you remember your dream?
Yeah I guess it's kind of a dream
I'll tell you what I don't know if this is a thing.
That, what you're describing, is the best sleep I get.
Oh, it's the worst.
I don't get any sleep.
But do you sleep well in that hour?
No.
So I kick and toss and turn all night, existential dread the whole nine.
I'll wake up at like five or six and go back to bed from like five to seven or something like that and then when i wake up at
seven i'm like oh i'm so groggy because i think i just like i i think i like swan dive into the
sleep i suicide into sleep and then i gotta come back out of it for the day and i'm like why did
you do this in the middle of the night we had all the time in the world all the time in the world
um but like i've always like i remember it basically it's like being hot where i'm like
i remember being like I remember being like
I remember turning
Like I
For some reason
I always turn the TV back on
That like I turned off
At some point in the night
Um
I get snacks
And all this stuff
And uh
I cook a feast
The uh
But the other
Sometimes
Not sometimes
But the other day
I had
I remember
Like giggling
And I was like laughing to myself.
And the only reason I'm retelling this is because I told it to Trent.
We had the boys went to lunch on Saturday, me, Nate, Trent, and Tommy.
Oh, that sounds awesome.
That's the stuff I miss the most.
I don't want to party, but I want to do shit like that.
Bro, we went – okay.
Oh, no.
We've been dibbling and dabbling.
I'll get back to my Half dream
But the
We went to lunch
And
Tommy did something weird
No
Two
Actually two very funny things happened
Well one very funny thing
One
I think I gotta
Just finally say
Oh god
The
One was
I got there like
15 minutes early
2
2.15 lunch
Preservation
I got there at like 2 And I knew no one else was going to be there.
So I just waited across the street and like leaned against this building in
the shade.
It's hot out.
And I just stood there for 10 minutes or so.
And it was like,
I forget.
It's not Barrow.
It's whatever's right after Barrow,
but whatever.
And it's like kind of a dead end.
And I was kind of just sitting there zoned out,
and I see this figure standing there.
And I look up, and I snap on it, and Tommy was there.
And he had been doing laps.
We'd both been just avoiding going to the front
because we didn't want to be the first one there,
which I get, but also it was me and Tommy.
I was like, it had to be us.
I was going to say, there's two guys I would pick.
I was hiding in tree shade.
Tommy was just doing laps.
He was like, I hope someone else gets here.
I hope someone else gets here.
I hope someone else gets here.
Bro, the dumbest thing in society is the,
like, we won't see you until your whole party's there.
I didn't even ask, though.
I know, I know.
But I'm like, you couldn't have done anything anyway.
Yeah, right. You weren't going to give that table away but then when we where we were sitting we was like
this the restaurant had like an outdoor patio type section and we were sitting indoors but like right
by the door to the patio and someone had brought their dog to the restaurant and he was just like
the person sitting at the bar and the guys had him on the leash and And he was just, like, the person was sitting at the bar, and the guy just had him on the leash.
And the dog was just sitting in front of the door.
Like, on the mat.
Like, it couldn't have been more in front of the door.
As every waiter, busboy, person going outside had to step over the dog.
No one moved the dog.
Get the fuck out of here.
And at one point, it was at the end of lunch, but I was like, to get him to go to the bathroom i'm gonna lose my fucking mind and like i think
someone's got to say say something that dogs have too many rights yeah that dogs do not belongs
where they are most of the time speak on it it was preach like no one even like some one of the
waiters should have been like can you get the fucking dog out of here? But instead they're petting it.
That dog shouldn't have been there.
Speak on it, brother John.
Even the people it was affecting somehow weren't affected.
But I was like, I'm going nuts.
This dog is not only like it's a safety hazard.
If that person doesn't get their back leg up, they're going to fall down the stairs.
It's crazy i don't know when we lost the thread on you can just leave dogs alone at home for a little while
just put them on the other side it doesn't yeah but but don't bring them at all but if you don't
bring them at all but if you're gonna bring put them on the other side it was probably it was
crazy so you can leave your dog alone for like a week, let alone a fucking afternoon, okay?
Get the fuck out of here with this shit.
Dogs goddamn everywhere.
I was saying that like –
Yo, this is it, by the way.
Like we've – for years we've tiptoed around like anti-dog sentiments, and I realized like –
I'm not anti-dog.
No.
I like dogs as dogs.
Yes, yes.
Right, right, right, right
That's what I mean, people construe it in this weird way
It's almost like the red zone take
There's some validity to this
You just hate football
No, I like football, that's why I want to watch football
And not a bunch of graphics and fucking highlights
And I like dogs
And I want to sit on my couch at home with them
Or your couch at home with them
I don't want to have them in the middle of my fucking restaurant
while we got to walk to and from the bar.
Bro, the dog battle for civil rights
was more seamless than any other group of people.
They faced no pushback.
There was none.
People were like,
black people shouldn't get to go to school.
And everyone's like,
no, dogs can hang out in restaurants, supermarkets.
No problem.
Food, travel, circulating air. We'll just let these animals in. Yeah, no, dogs can hang out in restaurants, supermarkets. No problem. Food, travel, circulating air.
We'll just let these animals in.
Yeah, no problem.
Dude.
No problem.
I think the – I think being – having reasonable anti-dog opinions is when you become an adult.
Yeah.
Like, you know, there's just different rules for everybody.
Like, it's not an age thing. It's not a – I think all these people who are adults, everyone in this restaurant is an adult yeah like like like you know there's just different rules for everybody like it's not an age thing it's not a i think all these people were adults everyone in this restaurant
was an adult no no no they weren't no no no they weren't dude they weren't because that's that's
what i'm saying is like you can't say that like when you turn 18 you're an adult because
it's a lot of 18 year olds are still kids you can't say uh even when you when like if you have
a family because like there are some people who don't have families like everybody lives like different
lives or whatever when you've been on the planet long enough to be uh to to be uh unafraid to just
say like we're getting a little crazy with the animals we bring around those are adults and
everybody else the people who say that
like that dogs are being are the same as as babies they're not adults so it's like all the people who
love dogs more than anything you're not being an adult if you think about you're being like you're
like a little like oh my god it's a puppy ah that's like what kids do the adults are the ones
going i mean i like the dog but i just don't want it next to me on a plane yeah i don't want it
sitting on my lap at a restaurant or i don't want it fucking running around in the movie theater.
That's when you become an adult, when you can just admit those things.
I think I said this before, but literally, my grandparents had a doghouse.
It took two generations for dogs to go from the doghouse to the penthouse.
They're everywhere.
They're in the boardroom.
They're in the boardroom.
Bezos is sitting there with his dog.
Why is the dog here?
I thought this was a people meeting.
What the fuck is the dog doing here?
And guess what?
The people who bring their dogs out the most almost always got a dog for, like, not the right reasons.
So the dog's not trained yeah so like yeah but like even
like like the people who were like with this guy i'm like dude aren't and again like this is just
the feelings i feel but like when i'm with yeah you're even throwing out a little you're qualifying
when i'm with just say it just say it no no i don't because it's not that bad but it's like
i'm so uncomfortable even when i'm in the group with the dog I'm like dude
let's just move the fucking dog
over there
dude the fucking dog's barking
like why
we're ruining everyone else's time
at this restaurant
well that's also my thing
I really
respect anybody
who rescues dogs
but also like
I'm not down to just
fucking do the wild card
but if you're gonna get a dog
you have to get a dog
like you have to train you have to get a dog like right
you have to train you have to do it right like you don't have this fucking thing that like you
kind of just lift your chair up and you put the leash under and then you just sit there and let
the dog do what it wants like right people are out for like a nice relaxing saturday afternoon
right the dog's barking and sniffing like i don't know get it away i'm that's why i'm just chilling
like i have my key lime pie delicious by the. The people who rescue a dog and take it very seriously and all that, like, great.
Obviously the best thing you can do.
When people were telling me to get a rescue, I was like, I am not in a position to, like, train this dog every day and make sure it's going to be all good.
I don't want to do that.
I don't know how to do that.
I don't think I can do that.
So I'm not going to just, like, pick one from the fucking, you fucking you know like you can get somebody from a shelter that's gonna be a fucking problem
everyone else has already thought it right right right it's like i just not a home that's a real
roll of the dice that i am just not uh equipped to to make that gamble right now so the rest of
you god bless you i'm not taking that one home. It's the lack of –
Oh, I'm a shopper.
If it ever comes to it.
Yeah.
We don't adopt a shopper.
Come on.
Are you paying too much for your wireless plan?
That's a rhetorical question because the answer is yes.
Unless, of course, you work with Straight Talk.
Straight Talk Wireless.
They have $25 a month.
So those are the only people who can say that they're not paying too much for your wireless plan.
Everybody else in the world, if you're using anything other than that,
you are paying too much for your wireless, including all the morons who are using the top dogs.
You're paying $200 a month for what?
It's the same exact thing on your phone that you can get for $25 per line
when you get up to four lines
over at Straight Talk.
You get data unlimited, talk unlimited,
text unlimited on nationwide
5G.
There's just no reason to pay more.
It's like if you told me
that the expensive one was 5G
and the cheap one was 3G, I would get it.
There's just no reason. The cheap ones give you the same thing that the expensive one was 5G and the cheap one was 3G, I would get it. There's just no reason.
The cheap ones give you the same thing that the expensive ones do.
There's no fucking reason for it to exist.
Plus, they have no contracts, no hidden fees, and no compromises.
That's the Straight Talk Talking from Straight Talk Wireless, available at Walmart and Walmart.com.
All right, let's get into it.
Oh, wait, no, sorry.
Oh, wait, by the way.
Oh, yeah, so we're going to get to my sorry. Oh, wait. By the way. Oh, yeah.
So we're going to get to my dream.
So my dream – it's not really a dream, but I do – oh, wait.
I do have a dream too.
I was in my sleep and I thought – that was all because Trent thought this was funny.
That's why that lunch came up.
Okay.
That was 20 minutes because I said the line and Trent thought this was funny, so I'm going to say it.
Trent likes it.
I thought I was just giggling in my sleep about these words.
And the word – it's not funny.
Now that I'm about to say it, I'm like –
It's not funny.
I do this a lot with dreams and stuff.
I'll wake up and write down a dream, figure it's cool or interesting. I read it in the morning. I'm like, this is... It's not funny. I do this a lot with dreams and stuff. I'll wake up and write down a dream,
thinking it's cool or interesting.
I read it in the morning.
I'm like, that sucked.
The words that start with uh are really funny.
It's not funny.
That's not funny at all.
You're like, if you can just say amendment.
No surprise there that our resident idiots...
Where are you from? idiots are laughing at this.
America?
What do you want to make?
Come down and think of a less funny podcast segment than this.
This is our new segment, by the way.
This is called our
segment.
If you want to sponsor
us saying words with oh, it's so funny.
By the way, the other one real quick
I gotta shout out you
I had a different dream
Where I had
Actually bro this makes sense
Why I should have brought this up earlier
Because I definitely had this dream in response to
You not having my back
When you became a rapist
When I raped people
I had I had a dream where
i was uh it was like an ex-girlfriend had put us on a text chain and she it was like it was a bunch
your ex or my ex my ex and uh it was a bunch of like it was me you and a bunch of like – it was me, you, and a bunch of like foreign hockey players.
For some reason, she had all their pictures and they all had like the Swedish jerseys that are just covered in logos.
Okay.
And it was like John made all that up.
Here's everyone who can confirm.
If this is Kevin, please hear them out.
And you replied, this is Kevin.
Yes, this is Kevin.
No, I don't want to hear anything anyone has to say.
And I was like, that's my guy!
That's my guy!
That's what's up.
I did it, by the way.
I don't remember the start of the dream,
but I remember waking up feeling guilty.
And I was like, he's got my back, dude!
Bro, I will lie to any girl's face for you, bro.
Until you rape somebody.
It wasn't a rape.
Okay.
It wasn't a rape.
As long as you didn't rape somebody, I will have your back.
I think I made up a player.
I'll even have your back on murder, by the way.
Nice.
Just not rape.
Rape's too much.
But if you murder someone and you want to be like, yo, just tell people I didn't do it,
I'll do that for you.
Because that person's dead already. It was like I invented a player on like yo just tell people I didn't do it I'll do that because
that person's dead
already it was like I
like invented like a
player on a team and
like made I don't know
what it was whatever it
was he didn't do it
didn't do it and by the
way if you don't have
multiple people in your
life who Kevin thinks
you're telling that
story about
because whoever it is
it's not
whoever you're thinking
of it's someone else.
That's great.
That's great.
Congratulations.
Things are going great for you then.
One more.
What time is it?
11.30.
11.30.
Okay, we got time.
We'll do one more 10-minute segment.
I haven't opened this link yet. I just saw a link and thought it was funny.
Okay.
And I thought it could be a segment.
So the Reddit headline was,
What's the dumbest thing people called you gay for?
So I thought we could just go through some stuff and decide if it's gay or not.
Totally.
Totally.
Okay.
I was called gay for showering daily.
That's all right.
No, come on. That's fine. Thatering daily. That's all right. No, come on.
That's fine.
That's stupid.
That's a reach.
I can't.
I mean, I don't know how to read.
You don't know how to read.
I've been called gay so much, but.
Is there a way to, like, sort Reddit so it just starts, like, I just want the headline.
Yeah.
I just want each.
If you go to Sort comments
I was told it was gay
To wash my ass
Kind of gay
Well I mean we talked
Was it Frankie
Somebody recently was like
I put a finger up my ass
When I
Big Jay Oakerson
Yeah but somebody here
Did it too I think
Really
Frankie
If anybody
I think
It might have been
When we were on
Oh it was Frankie
Yes yes yes
Frankie like fucks himself
In the shower
Yeah yeah yeah
Um By the way Shout out the PGA It might have been when we were on the road. Oh, it was Frankie. Yes, yes, yes. Frankie, like, fucks himself in the shower. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
By the way, shout out to PGA selling Borelli shirts.
Yeah, that's fucking dope.
So cool.
This is a long roundabout way of saying he got called gay for putting on lotion.
That's a good one.
That is a good one that I do.
Most of these are going to be good ones that I do. Wearing a red pair of Vans. That feels a good one. That is a good one that I do. Most of these are going to be good ones that I do.
Wearing a red pair of Vans.
That feels a little gay.
Red sneakers are like flamboyant.
You're definitely like, look at me, and look at me is definitely gay.
I like to give oral sex to women.
Ultimately, the gayest thing you can do. All right, Uncle June.
I was called gay for six months in middle school for doing hopscotch.
Hopscotch.
So gay.
Hopscotch and jumping rope.
Come on.
You are a flaming homosexual.
As I said, most of these are going to be things I do.
The second one really wrote me in.
But it's not fun.
I don't play patty cake.
You're doing – look, I've done hopscotch too.
Hopscotch and patty cake. Those are so gay. I don't think I've ever done patty cake you're doing i i no look i've done hopscotch too but hopscotch and patty cake
with those are so gay i don't think i've ever done patty i'm sure i've done it with my cousins
or something like that um if you were if you're a guy and you do patty cake over the age of like
three like i could i could see keegan be like this shit's gay yeah i'm not playing patty cake
dad that's for gays i saw someone have a tweet. Oh, it was after Ted Cruz did his, like, we still drink beer video.
You see that one?
Who did it?
I forget.
Like, the things people – I get it.
Everyone's trying to score political points and stuff.
But it was like, I don't know, like, some study came out that was like,
you should only drink two beers a week.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Oh, Ted Cruz, you saw him?
Yeah.
Were they all sipped afterwards?
Yeah, it was so weird.
Oh, that was gay.
That was so gay.
It was gay.
Yo, no, but for real uh organizing a little
skit like and then i'm gonna say this and then we all sit at the same time so fucking gay that is
the gayest shit ever but someone quoted that and yeah that's right they should have said this but
it was the uh they uh they were like it's crazy that our country is run by people who are still living their deathly fear of being called gay in middle school.
By the way, that study –
All they are run by is being afraid of being called gay in middle school.
That study said two drinks a day.
Oh, really?
Which is like I think kind of good.
But also like I don't know Yeah a study said it
What does it mean
Right right
No one's trying to enact it
Into law
Right I was gonna say
Like we
They also say you should
Eat a bunch of vegetables
Right we don't do that either
But honestly
Like two drinks
If you think about
The population
Of people
Like you can have two drinks
We can have two drinks
It's no problem
For most people
You have two drinks
You're probably like
On a buzz
And you should
Not get drunk every night
Dude most Like I saw I saw a thing That can't be right good but it was something about
the rise of non-alcoholics and beers and um not the humans yeah and it was like
no one ever addressed the fact that 30 of the country doesn't drink And then Like they choose not to?
Yeah
And then of the 70% that do
I think something like 60% of those
Consider themselves basically non-drinkers
So we're talking about
Who's doing all the drinking?
Well that's the thing
Those people are doing a lot
They do a lot of heavy lifting
All of the booze is being bought by them.
I was like, where does everyone I've ever met fall into?
Well, because it's like a legal drug.
So it's just like, yeah, they just – there's like 10% of the population buys all of it.
So it's a legalized and pretty much affordable drug.
I was telling that to my friend.
We're out to dinner on Labor Day, and I was telling that study to my family and some friends, stuff like that.
And I was like, we're like everyone I've ever known.
Yeah.
We just drink a lot.
And my mom was like, well, where do you hang out the most?
Bars.
Where people drink?
It's mostly bars.
But the last thing, because I know we have to tighten that up the uh
which was that was that was the one-time segments was a pretty big flop today no and you know you
know what i want to say though by the way that's a hard segment for us because we get called gay a
lot like for everything so it's like i don't know yeah i mean like like the the new the the uh the
resurgence of the pause game is like i can't even play it because I say actually gay things.
It's like I do a podcast where I talk about getting a finger up my ass.
Can you even say pause when it is gay?
We talk about sucking a guy's dick.
You can't say pause when it's just like we're being gay.
So it's hard for me to even enjoy the game.
Pause.
I'm in the middle of the sentence.
Yeah.
Let me finish.
It's going to get worse, dude.
But the,
so all that needs to
be tightened up a little bit,
which maybe you remember
the article I read
this weekend
about the producers,
about podcast producers.
Oh, I didn't see this.
And it was about
the rise of the third mic
and how the old radio tradition
of the third mic
is alive and well
and in in podcasting what did you think i was saying wait was this in the group chat i knew
exactly no i tweeted oh okay no i knew exactly what you're saying i think that that was what i
thought you were saying okay but then i said i think you misunderstood what i was saying but
then i was like i can't i'm not gonna then i was like overthinking the response back and then i
was like it's too late and i just didn't respond back but but I was like, I can't, I'm not going to, then I was like overthinking the response back. And then I was like, it's too late.
And then I just didn't respond back.
But, but I was just saying like, I think I don't talk into a mic.
I just forget.
Like, I'll just like be talking to you guys and I'll be like, oh wait, we're on a podcast.
I see.
I see.
I see.
I wasn't even saying talking to mics.
I was just saying talk more.
Um, but the, the... It's just about
what producers have to do.
It's probably Saturday morning
if you're scrolling.
The...
You guys do a lot.
I didn't get a chance
to read the article.
Honestly, it's a good article.
That article probably says
they do a lot.
Shut the fuck up.
I'm sure NPR producers do a lot.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's actually fair.
Like, Jackie's job is to, like, go through and bleep out when we say,
f***.
That's how hard her job is.
That's definitely true.
But the, uh, the, um, what was I going to say?
Oh, like, it was talking about – because it was also referencing sound engineers.
And I was like, I think Jackie's both.
Yeah, yeah.
This is the thing.
We definitely don't have sound engineers.
This is kind of the thing that we just went through with Barstool where it's like everything got specialized.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like we need one person to do all that.
I will edit the audio.
Like, if the audio doesn't sound right, I edit that.
I don't know.
Do you think about that, how the audio sounds? Yes. If one of you guys is lower, then I have to the audio. Like, if the audio doesn't sound right, I edit that. I don't know. Do you think about that, how the audio sounds?
Yes.
If one of you guys is lower, then I have to go in.
I have to get the stems.
I have to, like, erase.
I mean, it's not, like, a complete technical, like, thing.
But you know what?
One day I'm going to go through my whole process.
And I'm going to show you guys.
I'm going to just do, like, a little, like, sped up video.
I'm going to show you.
Because with the real, like, the editing is not the annoying part.
The part is once it's all done
and having to put it together put the ads in put the
cold open the intro then
get the like all the different parts
upload get the type
like all the end there it's like
I'll be done at a certain time and I'll be like
I have so much more to do
what what what the
the rise of the video
podcasts is what fucked them
Audio podcasts kick rocks
It was interesting
I used to do that shit
Chop chop bop bop
If you have a heavily edited show
It's a different story
Take that dead air out of the beginning
And I forgot to press stop
There's a lot of dead air at the end
But the video where it's like
Now we gotta put in the picture they're talking about and the video they're referencing and all that
that's you're making a whole fucking a whole you know movie right the uh it was an interesting
read like it was like it starts talking about like i forget what podcast but some podcast and like
their producer wasn't there at a live show that the writer of this article was at
and like the crowd started booing and i was like that happened to us yeah absolutely like jackie's not here what the fuck are we here for
the producer is also just the like it's like the um the buddy like sidekick in a movie you always
like that guy you know what i mean it's like yeah all right like channing tatum's the star but jonah
hill is like this or whatever That's not a good example.
But like you always like the funny dude who's just there to be there and not.
Yeah, Creed Bratton.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
It's like, yeah, we all know that like Steve Carell is the star, but who do you really like from The Office?
It does that.
That's the producer.
They probably interviewed like four separate podcasts.
Like one of them was on a network I've heard of.
I never really heard of any of them.
But they were talking to the producers
of it, and one was like,
it's kind of great, because
I don't have to talk that much,
so when I have something great,
I just get to speak.
Yeah, so it's just like, you're hitting dingers.
Every time I hit, it's all gone.
Honestly, I'm going to read
this article,
and I think we should make one for Barstool.
If it's different enough.
Because I bet your job is different from other podcasters.
There were references to booking guests, which you don't do, but you do do the – In between.
You have the in between there.
So I guess you're kind of booking them for us.
Yeah, you guys deserve some show.
Someone else books them for Barstool, and then you book them for us kind of.
But the – it was good.
I was reading it and being like, oh, I didn't even think about that kind of stuff.
Oh, I didn't think about that kind of stuff.
Yeah.
What I think it is is I don't think what people think they do is the important part.
I think what they don't get credit for is actually a hard shit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There you go.
It all comes full circle. All right. Let's bang. Like being a parent. Yeah. Yeah. There you go. It all comes full circle.
All right.
Let's bang out some voicemails.
Okay.
Wait.
I have to get my laptop.
Oh, the producer's not even ready.
Unbelievable.
I forgot to bump
at the camera.
Oh, wait.
Oh, this actually doesn't matter.
The producer's talking about
when they'll cut themselves out a lot.
Yeah.

What's up, KFC Fights whole crew?
I got a story here that kind of hurts to tell. So my grandfather's first wife,
she used to clean and do housework for this elderly lady
who turned out to be a fairly famous Canadian painter
by the name of Emily Carr.
And I guess she was hard up for money,
so Emily Carr offered to pay her with like seven or eight of her paintings.
But she didn't really like the paintings, so she turned it down and just got paid later.
But I searched it up.
Emily Carr original paintings can go from anywhere to a hundred thousand to five million at auction
originals from her so that's my so i guess my question is now what is probably the biggest
missed opportunity by you guys that you can think of have Have a good one. Bro, that one hurts.
That's my dream, by the way.
More so than earning a bunch of money
is being like,
my grandparent died
and I found a Babe Ruth
original card.
Yeah, yeah.
But not inheritance.
I found something stupid
in their house
and it's worth $40 million.
That's the dream right there.
That's better than the lottery.
That's better than earning it.
Just like, oh, grandma
has this bowl from the the ming dynasty that like you know some fucking
collector is gonna indiana jones gonna pay a billion dollars for it um worst missed opportunity
you know you know what i actually thought this weekend? And it's not actually – it wouldn't actually come out this way.
But with all the Dion hype, he wanted me to do that podcast with him.
And I was like, oh, I should have done it.
But no, no, no.
He would have gone on to coach and the podcast would have ended.
But when he was like, I want KFC to do that.
I was like, holy shit.
Dion wants to do something with me.
But I was, you know, there was a whole bunch of business stuff and it didn't work out.
And I remember being like, did you just like turn down doing something with prime time?
Like that's kind of crazy.
But, and then when all this was happening, I was like, oh fuck, I missed the boat on that one.
Uh, but it, it, it, no, it. I missed the boat on that one. But it – no, it would have never worked out that way.
I think I would have turned that down too.
But the – and I think that's right.
Yeah.
I mean –
I think like –
The way it was going down wouldn't – it wouldn't – put it this way.
Prime was – he's always been cool to me and great.
But like once that ended
I like
I've never heard from him
Yeah never again
Yeah
You know what I mean
It was just like
I like this guy
He can host
We can do this
And then when I said no
He was like cool peace
Goodbye
It wasn't like something
Where it was like really
All about me
But
Well if you're
I think
Like we're at the stage
And a lot of people
Are at the stage
Where it's just like
The If I don't want to do If I'm not going to do a good Right I think like we're at the stage and a lot of people are at the stage where it's just like the
if I don't want to do it
if I'm not going to do it good
it's like getting a dog
if I'm not going to do it right
don't do it
what's the point of doing it
yes yes
right
and right can mean a lot of things
I have other things I have to do
it's gotta be
I can't give it my all
like it is
there's that stage
where you're like
kind of swimming
you're like
I gotta latch on to something and you're like kind of swimming like i gotta i gotta
latch on to something and you know now i have what i what i do successful yep so like now i only want
to do things that i like truly like and it's not not that there's like incredible wealth or like
it's just like this is what i do and i can my time yeah and like i can this is all i can do
right i was just like well would you take this other – I think one of the things – one of the values is like, am I going to get more money for it?
Right.
Is there going to be any compensation at all?
Then I have to give myself to the thing that gets me money.
It doesn't make a ton of sense for me.
I just don't have the time on my plate right now to do that.
As for the question, I got a couple things probably.
Yours are like you did the thing.
You just didn't get the reward, unfortunately.
But you didn't miss the opportunity.
It's not like somebody said,
yo, you should do a Saturdays are for the boys,
and you were like, no.
You did it and just business.
But of the same vein, I was thinking of,
not the same thing as that
but same at the end of the question i saw a clip the other day of magic johnson talking on uh up
and smoke about how he got offered from nike stock instead it was almost like air he got the same
three did this converse nike offered him money or you know pitched him for his sneaker
He went with Converse I believe
Because they offered him the most money
He couldn't come up with anything so
Blah blah blah blah blah
And they were like what's that stock worth now
And he's like 5.2
And the stock he got
No the stock he turned down
But I didn't
Agree with that one that's not a it would have been. But I, I, I didn't agree with that one. That's not a fair one.
What, what do you mean?
That because the, like he made the right decision in that moment.
Not that he made the right decision, but just like, that's one that you have to attribute
so much of that success to Michael Jordan.
Right.
And if they took, if you took that, then they don't make that bet.
Magic would have done great.
Magic would have done great. But it's, and it's still probably worth billions. Right. And if you took that, then they don't make that bet. Magic would have done great. Magic would have done great.
But it's – and it's still probably worth billions.
Totally.
But, like, it's not 5.2.
Yeah, yeah.
Air Jordan – if he takes that, Air Jordan doesn't happen.
So that's an easy one to be, like, the things that happened the way they were supposed to.
The thought is, like, if I had all of Nike – because what people didn't take into account in Nike is that they had Tinker Hatfield.
They had great designers.
They had great minds there.
And if you applied that to Magic Johnson, it would have been like the Air Jordan of Magic.
Oh, yeah?
Kevin, did Michael Jordan get AIDS?
Stockpile wouldn't have done great after that.
I stand corrected.
I mean, like, let's be honest.
If a guy with AIDS is pitching a sneaker, I'm probably not going to buy it.
Like, I'm talking when AIDS was AIDS, too.
AIDS is AIDS, that guy.
Nike stock probably wouldn't have done too hot in 80 fucking was it late 80s
well but he didn't get it till 92 what aids he didn't get aids okay so 92 whatever year it was
that's why i was trying to think like okay so 92 but i'm thinking a bit of a plummet in nike stock
bro like people send tweets now and like, like, stock loses $200 million.
You got AIDS.
What if they got AIDS?
You know what was funny?
At that point, I was, like, a young kid, and I didn't quite, like, get that, like, you get AIDS from fucking, you know?
So I was just kind of like, oh, it's so sad.
And it's still sad, but it's like when you find out, it's just like, oh, Patrick Johnson fucked thousands of people.
So, yeah, he was going to get hate.
Oh, okay.
If the brand of your sneakers has to give a press conference where it's like, I didn't get it the gay way, I didn't get it the drugs way, I got it the cool way.
Like, I can't imagine the sneakers going to do too hot.
That's so funny.
I'm like the 1%, bro.
I'm the 1%.
I swear to fucking God.
Don't listen to your dad.
You've been on the Crocs 5?
Yeah, I wasn't supposed to be, but I just wrapped my shoes on.
I have pair of shoes on.
One is Andy Cohen's.
Show later and ask me when I need to wear nice dress shoes.
I didn't have time.
Oh, so what?
You're not going to dress up for us?
Fuck, man.
Honestly, the socks have been really high.
Just realize these pants are not that cool.
I didn't really get any PR clothes this week, so I just dressed myself with the clothes
I had left over from the last two weeks.
So when you say PR clothes, what do you mean?
They'll just send you a bunch of shit?
Yeah, then you don't have to buy clothes.
If you go to events, no, they just send you stuff.
They send you a bunch, and then you just wear what you like and then send it back.
All right, so I'm glad you brought that up because I was just talking to someone about this.
I was actually talking to Lawrence, who you've done their podcast, Failing Upwards.
Yeah, yeah.
And he gets a ton of shit.
Do you feel bad?
Do you feel obligated with all the free shit you get to post it and be like, thank you?
Not at all.
Dude, I feel so bad.
Only the brands I want to...
You're a pussy.
But only the brands I want to have a relationship with that are cool.
Yeah.
But I mean, know uh you're still
president like when he was opening all those fucking packages yes yeah unboxing yeah how much
stuff did it was going crazy for a while that's true that's like that's annoying at that point
yeah think of it too like imagine the tables were tart like if you i don't know sent uh this one works yeah this one good
if you sent
like
our podcast
to Joe Rogan
and just like
yo man
like you mind
posting that
I sent it to you
for free
you know what I mean
it's like
that's fair play
yeah yeah
that's a good point
I keep
beat your billboard
you know
but if it's a cool brand
you know
and if it's my friend's brand
like last night
a girl I really like
her name's Dodge
she's like a fashion designer so I wore like her outfit to the US Open because they last night a girl I really like her name's Dodge she's like a fashion designer
so I wore like her outfit
to the US Open
because they make her show
and I really like what she made
she did like a collab
with Wrangler
so like I wore that
and I'll tag her
because she's like
the homie you know
yeah that's cool
I think
the amount of power
or influence
whatever you want to call it
that you have
when you reach that point
I think it's cool
to kind of give back
and do it that way
I'm not like a model
but most women
like girls
you know
when you go to say
like Cannes Film Festival
or something
they're just flown there
to walk the red carpet
with us
their whole job
is like they get paid
to wear one dress
and tag them
and leave
they don't even go
to the premiere
they just kind of
go to a party
and get paid
20k to wear one dress
for one photo
and leave
so that's kind of
like a whole industry
I barely
I get like some crocs
and stuff
I mean I don't get
that much fancy stuff
but if I get it
and I like it I'll wear it and I'll wear it yeah but you know because you you you have that that vibe about
you like i feel like people would be like oh if a dude like diplo wears that like it's it's cool
then yeah there's not that many guys that feel like like yeah relatable yeah like regular people
there's guys that look like crazy like you know yes i can't wear what lona sex wears out in the
streets but he's like of course fashion brands love him but i'm like kind of like the normal guy i kind of
i'm a little edgy like you see my nipple maybe today
i'll do a little nipple every once in a while but you know i try to just like be pretty low-key
and stuff yeah i mean i mean i would put you you had the cowboy guy by the way right i still
think the cowboy phase is like the the always the end the end game yeah that's the final boss because
no matter how old you get there's like three looks you can really turn into you can just kind of be
like those four you can be like just dad like the new balances and like kind of just wear like i
don't know dockers or whatever uh you can be like a meth dealing but like biker kind of guy that's
like the face hats like your like life is like jail and bars and like biker kind of guy that's like you got your face tats like your life is like jail
and bars
and stuff
you can be old
and that's cool
as fuck
you can still
look like that
like Post Malone
is on that
like wave
but he also
does the cowboy
thing
and that's like
really cool
you just like
wear like
the classic stuff
like Carhartt
the cowboy hat
you look like
all these country guys
that are like hot right now
all just wear
I was gonna say
you're on the country wave
yeah like that's just like
it's kind of like
the final established
way a man can look when they get older.
What's the fourth one?
Oh, just like a suit and tie.
Like a really fancy guy.
Like a most interesting man.
Corporate type shit.
Corporate kind of vibe.
Dude, I like the corporate vibe.
Corporate vibe is good, but it's very expensive.
Like to actually flex on new suits all the time.
Bro, when someone's pulling a suit off, dude.
I don't know what it is, but you could be wearing a fucking $20,000 suit or $100 from a men's warehouse, but you look better in a suit.
Yeah, 100%.
Almost exclusively.
And obviously, the nicer ones look nicer.
But every dude, if you just put on a suit and tie, it's like, oh, that looks sharp for someone.
It's like a real glow.
I don't know.
But men's fashion hasn't really changed in like 200 years
like women's
they do everything
everything's so crazy
men we always wear
like suit and tie
like that's like
if you go to like
Armani or a fashion show
it's
they don't really change much
the lapel changes a little bit
but it's been like
100 years
like last time
it was weird
it was like
George Washington
was wearing like
coattails
these kind of things
have you ever seen
pictures of like
old time
baseball stadiums?
The fans.
All men in fucking hats.
Imagine going to the ballgame.
As they're screaming the N-word at the players.
Yeah, they're just like,
Jackie Robinson, get him out of here!
He looks sharp, though.
But people used to go out I mean
people used to go to airports with suits like bro what I'm in now yo who was I with oh it's with
Jackie and Jackie our producer we had to go we went down to Louisiana and we were talking about
like she's talking about how like you're on TikTok and you're like god everyone's fucking hot but
then if you just hang out in a place where there's a lot of people you're like oh everyone's fucking hot. But then if you just hang out in a place where there's a lot of people, you're like, oh, everyone's disgusting looking.
Everyone's hot on the internet.
My most popular TikTok series
for a while
is called Airport Creatures.
I just sneak videos
and make a story
about who they are.
That's amazing.
This guy invested in Dogecoin,
whatever it is.
Something like,
this is a hedge fund,
this is a rich,
whatever it is.
I just kind of make fun of people.
That's fucking great.
I like that.
Sometimes people see me
and they're like,
tag me, make a video of me or something but people start
coming up to you barefoot like disgusting right you like make up something like oh this guy just
left burning man or like whatever it is you just like make up a story about who this person was
and i was speaking of you had a ride literally and figuratively at burning man huh we did yeah
it was probably like you know you do even when you make music you just always make a bunch of tracks when you just do
some newsworthy stuff
so it might be like
I could like
rescue some orphans
or something
or like whatever it is
but just like
Leaving Burning Man
was like my biggest
news story
in the last 10 years
so
dude
moments like that
make me be like
why do I even fucking try
it's like
you get one tenth
the traction you get
when you pour your heart
and soul into something. I know.
I do so much, like,
try to make some emotional posts.
Nobody cares.
Whatever it is,
and, like, I don't know,
go to some crazy place and visit,
and then just, like,
I'll leave Burning Man.
It's, like,
it's the best of the experience.
Well, you escaped Ebola.
Yeah, I did.
So, apparently, I got it, too,
and I was ground zero,
one of the memes,
and I left,
and, like, the government was looking for me.
No fucking way.
It was, like, one post.
People sent me, like, it was confirmed. Diplo was at ground zero, and he escaped the gate or whatever, and I left and the government was looking for me. It was confirmed.
Diplo was at Ground Zero and he escaped the gate
or whatever.
When you're
in something like that, I've obviously never been in a
situation where the whole world thinks I'm part
of some conspiracy. Are you annoyed
or are you like, this is hilarious?
I thought it was so funny because it was happening in real time.
We were still trying to get out while the story was happening
and stuff.
The craziest part is it wasn't just me and Chris Rock.
It was like Sidney Crawford was with us, Randy Gerber, Austin Butler, the guy who produced White Lotus.
No way.
It was so many other – like people like the celebrities that were just trying to get out to see their kids and stuff.
They were all like hiking.
We all walked.
We all decided together.
Oh, no shit. Their camp was like,
they had a really big
kind of like,
kind of celeb-y camp
next to me
and we just,
we all like bossed up.
Honestly,
Karlie Kloss is the one
who's like,
we're going.
She was like,
let's,
she was like military,
like we're waking up at 7,
we're going to hike
and then she's like,
we'll wake up at 10,
we'll do it later.
But she was like,
the one that
motivated everybody.
If it's not,
I don't know,
like Wes Anderson
or somebody needs to make a movie
of this.
Like 10
celebrities trying to get out of Burning Man
and they have their own existential journey
on the way. That's wild though. That's a lot
of names, man. It's going to be
definitely a big bit in the Chris Rock
event.
He did not want to be there, it felt like.
We had dinner the night before and he was like because he did not want to be there, it felt like, and we had dinner
the night before
and he was like...
He does not seem
to me like a Burning Man
kind of guy.
I would not have...
Like, one of the biggest
Burning Man guys
is like Puff Daddy.
Really?
He's like 14 years going.
He's all on his love wave,
though.
He's very...
He's always loved
like the higher vibration.
He's like really
one of the biggest...
Him and Paris Hilton
are the two like
biggest Burners I know.
No shit.
You would never know that.
Like, they love it.
They go there every year
and they rip.
They're like...
What goes... I just learned... I always thought it was a music festival what
what goes on at bernie man like the music is very secondary like um i play i dj probably like six
seven times like just different art cars and it's hard to explain it's like but wait is there like
a stage and speakers like set up like you would be on tour or it's like small there's like six
or seven camps that make little stages but it's really like they're you build a camp like you get a little plot of land like it's
this one semi-circle that's like we have the the roads are like clock numbers so like six seven
eight nine ten and the streets are efg so you get like a little whatever size you need you kind of
rent that and you make a camp and the ones that are on the outside this sides have like the sound
camp so the music goes there and then on the outside of that is like called the playa and that's just like anything goes people just driving around these art cars
playing music and it's like it's like the best way to explain it is like you go to circuit city
and turn off you turn everything on at once you walk around the street you walk around the store
right that's kind of what it feels like you're like it's dark and there's lights everywhere and
there's dusk and there's just you know no light pollution you just feel like you're in the middle
of this like dry lake bed bed but you have a little camp
and you organize it
very few of them
are sound camps
but that's the ones
you hear about
because that's like
the parties
some people just do
like Dr. Bronner
you know the soap company
he has a camp
and you just go there
and do like a shower
like it's a big tub
everybody just goes there
and gets naked
and washes themselves
and it's a big line
to get into that
everyone wants to get naked
with Dr. Bronner
there's like full yoga camps
there's like
there's like TED talks
people are just like
doing speeches
there's like so much
and you buy tickets to this
you have to buy a ticket
there's like 80,000 tickets
they give up
and then you buy the tickets
not expensive
like 500 bucks
but sometimes it runs out
this year it didn't run out
and then you have to resell them
but then you buy the tickets
and you enter your camp
because the camp
kind of provides everything for you
you have to have food
and that's random you have to have food. That's random?
Some people go and just bring a tent and it's kind of a rough life.
Those are the ones who really suffered, I guess.
This rainstorm.
But you have a camp and they have everything.
They have the toilets.
You organize it together with a crew of like-minded people.
Then you just make everything yourself.
You make a little village, a little camp for the week.
How in the mix are you with these little camps?
I just have a lot of friends. This year here i just did like i just kind of hooked up with some
friends that were there and i was like hey i'm only coming for three days because i get a shift
pod and stayed with them and they had great food and i had like my my e-bike someone brought it
there from my house in malibu and i just had that and my backpack so it's pretty cruising around
what kind of like what kind of drugs are we doing um Well, there's a lot of drugs. I think MDMA, LSD.
It's very psychedelic.
It's a big psychedelic one.
You actually can't smoke weed there.
Really?
I mean, some of those drugs
aren't really controlled.
It's Nevada.
It's like BLM,
Bureau of Land Management.
And so marijuana
is like federally illegal.
No shit.
So that's the one thing
people get caught all the time
is if a cop,
there's a lot of cops everywhere.
It's not like that free.
Lawlessness. Because it's really safe. I mean. There's a lot of cops everywhere. It's not like that free. Lawlessness.
Because it's really safe.
I mean, it's a huge festival.
People do pass away.
Some people maybe want to go there and die, like old people.
Some people, first year I went, someone ran into the fire.
The burning man was burning.
Oh, shit.
And just like, I don't want to.
And died?
Yeah, died.
Did it affect the vibe?
Nah, man.
Bro, my man.
For him, yeah.
I think it was like...
That vibe was just kind of suck.
Everyone's like, that dude fucking rocks, man.
Honestly, he probably do.
I mean, that is a pretty metal move, like...
Probably do, but...
My man said, it's really, really safe.
And then followed it up with,
some man just ran into the fire and...
Well, every...
I've been to a lot of parties with fires
that I considered safe.
No one jumped in it.
That's his fault, yeah.
You're right.
The guy was on a quest.
Like, that was his, like,
he wanted to do that.
I mean, that's, like,
what he did, but,
I mean,
any big festival,
you're going to have
some, like, injuries,
some fatalities.
It's like, it sucks,
but, like, it's, like,
a huge festival.
I think EDC, whatever.
You get that many people together.
Yeah, there's going to be
something,
so hopefully people get safe
and someone could fall off,
you know, even stage diving.
Yeah, yeah.
You could fall off
and hit your head
and have a concussion or have, you know, even stage diving. Yeah, yeah. You could fall off and hit your head and have a concussion
or have, you know,
anything happen.
But people at Burning Man
really help each other.
Like, that's kind of
what happened to me
when I left.
I had no problem.
People, a guy saw me,
gave me a ride.
It's like,
it's probably the most
friendliest group of people
in a community of people.
Did they know who you were
when they picked you up?
The guy that picked me up dead, yeah.
That's like the one place
where I'm like more famous
than like some of the actors.
Yeah.
I could see you being very popular. But like, they picked me up dead yeah that's like the one place where i'm like more famous than like some of the actors yeah i could see you being very popular that but like they they picked you up
strangers and were like oh shit that's diplo or they picked up diplo they they're like i was like
oh he was i was walking and he had stopped because his car was hot he's like oh is that diplo and i
was like yeah and he's like he's like i was like can i get a ride with you he's like i'm about to
go back and get my friend i'm like uh all right whatever and he went back and he's like you know
fuck i'm gonna go pick up diplo and he came back and he drove me and then we were like chris rock's
agent was there he's like well can you tell can you bring chris rock too he'll tell you some jokes
in the back of the truck so he got him on the back too and then like my crew was there because
we were flying to dc and we just we just kind of like you know rode for like 30 minutes with him
you're so right i can just see chris rock now being like i was in the back of the pickup truck
like just doing that
cadence
we had like a really
I'll be honest
we had like a really
fancy camp
and like the night
it was like this
torrential rainstorm
like everybody's like
does the apocalypse
is coming
we're like in this
kind of like
really fancy
you're like we're good
we're like
Chris Rock
but so wait
is it like
it's like
makeshift like home
like it's full shelter
or are we talking like
this camp I was in
was like really like fancy like it was like shelter are we talking like this this camp i was in was like
really like fancy like like it was like we're like a nobody was like made so made the room
ran out of wood had like wow air conditioning and a chef and stuff so hey chris robert is like
if the people outside they knew what we were doing it'd be like a run on us right now right
right i was gonna say did it was there ever a little bit of like, you know, some fucking Walking Dead type shit where people realize?
We did try to venture out like in the middle of the night and like just going like 40 feet took like 45 minutes.
Because it was like you're walking when it was really raining.
You're walking like your foot sunk down like one foot in the mud.
And picking it up was like you have two pounds of mud on your foot.
And it was like, I would not venture out of that at all.
In the morning, it was a lot better,
but in the night,
during it was like,
you couldn't move.
You just had to like,
stay shelter in place,
like it was a hurricane.
I did that once.
I went for a walk with my friends.
We went snowshoeing,
but I didn't have snowshoes.
So,
like,
my foot kept going,
like,
it's the exact same physics,
and you have to like,
kind of walk on your knees,
because like,
you can't,
if you walk straight,
you just slide,
and you're falling,
and you're just like,
making a mud angel,
and it's like, that's the worst, because there's no showers either, so you're just kind of like, you can't – if you walk straight, you just slide. Yep. And you're falling. You're just, like, making a mud angel. And it's, like, that's the worst.
Because there's no showers either.
So you're just kind of, like, muddy.
Except for the spot.
Yeah.
Well, you just stand in the rain.
The mud will eventually wash you off.
Man, that is a – that experience you just described is so far from anything I've ever done in my life.
Like, I can't even –
I brought a lot of people, though, to Burning Man.
They were, like, I'll never do that.
I'll never do that.
Like, three people I brought were, like, okay.
After one night, they were, like, I get it. Like, this feels, like, so – Man. They were like, I'll never do that. I'll never do that. Like, three people I brought were like, okay. After one night, they were like, I get it.
Like, this feels, like, so free.
How did it start?
I don't know.
It's probably 25 years old.
I don't want to give the wrong information.
But a couple people.
That's young.
Yeah, it's not that old.
Maybe 30, but something like that.
People just started it.
They, like, they, I guess they did some organization with the Nevada land.
And they were like, this is the perfect place to do it because you can just kind of move around.
There's no rocks.
It's just like one perfectly flat area.
Like that's why it's there in that area called Black Rock.
And then they just said, let's have like a really free, very hippie, you know, Bay Area guys.
They just went over there.
And I met some of the owners of Burning Man, the guys who like created it.
And they're really cool.
I think they kind of, there's a lot of ownership changing the last couple of years.
But like there's always been a really great ethos of like freedom
of expression and radical inclusivity and like also radical self-reliance like you got to go
with your stuff and make sure everything's out with you that's the main thing when i was leaving
this other car passed me i was walking out she's like i said i saw i had a backpack on she's like
she rolls the window down where's all your stuff at and i was like i just that's all i have like
i literally like friends gonna she was like i don's all I have. I literally, my friend's going to take it.
She was like, I don't believe you.
It was such a, they really want to make sure you got everything out of there.
That's the main rule of Burning Man.
If you brought anything there, you take everything out.
So some people are mad at me that I left just a backpack.
They don't believe that that's all I had.
I really just had a backpack.
I'm one of the rich guys.
I don't have to bring my shit, bro.
I didn't have to bring a bunch of bacon to cook or whatever.
We got the chef. I get that, though, that your friend like people you bring are like this is
absolutely i think anywhere you go where people are having fun is fun yeah like it is be a burning
man i wouldn't say that burning man is like my style by any means but if i like you'll find
and also if i got i got you it's like it's like oh this is not my favorite sport but you're sitting front row
it's like
it's still fucking awesome
there really is something
for everybody there
but I mean even like
stagecoach
have you guys been
to that festival
no
I've never been
to many festivals
so like people in LA
all go to Coachella
and I started playing
stagecoach the last couple
years doing country stuff
and I brought all my friends
that were like
a little older
like my age
and they're going to
Coachella
and they're just kind of
fed up with like
the same thing
and then I took them
to stagecoach
they don't even like
country music
and every year they're like dressing the fucking with their hats on and like they're like kind of fed up with like same thing and then I was like I'm a stagecoach I don't even like country music and every year
they're like dressing the fucking
with their hats on
and like they're like all
you know what it is
that's easier to
dress up
and dive into the culture
like
like I'll go get
some cowboy boots
and a hat
when it's like
when it was the peak
of like
EDC
and all that
that movement
I remember
I went to
I think maybe it was Electric Zoo I don't know whatever one was in Queens yeah it was Electric Zoo and I remember I went to, I think maybe it was Electric Zoo.
I don't know.
Whatever one was in Queens.
Yeah, it was Electric Zoo.
And I tried to dress up for that.
And I was like...
With a tutu on?
But that's what I mean.
I couldn't.
It was just like,
I put on a pink shirt.
And I was like,
this is all I've got.
Because I wouldn't even know
where to begin or something like that.
But a defined thing of, like, cowboy vibe.
For sure, country cosplay is a lot easier.
Yes.
Just jump into it.
If you really want to do, like, rave, I don't even dress like a rave.
It's really hard.
You can dress like a fucking astronaut or something.
I don't know.
I don't think, but house music, electronic music is so commercial now.
Like, even EDC, they do kind of, like, go out and really do the thing.
But mostly, it's people just dress like this. They go out there and just even have, like, a Camelback. It's just, they do kind of like go out and really do the thing but mostly it's
people just dress like this they go out there and just even have like a camelback to be cool
just drinking taking some molly again you know drinking and just like when when did ecstasy
disappear and molly become the thing i actually don't know the difference i really is there a
difference i do know that because growing up i it was i heard ecstasy i think ecstasy is pressed
pills i think and it's like someone could tell me
i don't really know i i know that you're right but mdma is but mdma is like i'm also don't want
to mess this up but mdma is like something that is even prescribed for people but mda the m the
second m is actually methamphetamine that's mdma yeah like when you get that in there it does kind
of give you like it's like you're that's's why it's not just euphoria. Party drug.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I think that's kind of dangerous too if you're taking like the meth.
A little bit of meth is always – Then you have to like drink water.
It's like that's why it's sometimes unsafe to do some of those things.
That was what was funny at Electric Zoo.
I'm not like a big drug guy, so I was drinking and I was at like the Bud Light fucking tent.
Yeah.
Nobody there.
And I'm like, you know, if you go to Citi Field for a baseball game, the beer line is fucking 200 people long.
Stagecoach is beer.
Yeah.
It's like my favorite thing.
I just love drinking beer, walking around.
It's like such a good vibe.
Yeah, that sounds fun.
Not a lot of ecstasy at stagecoach yet.
Yeah.
Yeah, it is the average.
We're working on it.
Heartbroken's coming out soon.
Yeah, so yeah.
I'm kind of like, the dance tent tent I do like a honky tonk
And there's maybe
A little MDMA
The line dancing guys
They got a lot of energy
They got their hips going
And shit
Yeah
If you could drop MDMA
Into any event
Oh that's a great question
What would it be?
If you could be like
Bring an MDMA feel
To any event
Because I'll be honest
I'm just asking that
Because while we're talking about
All the different festivals
and stuff
man Super Bowl
you could have fun
I was thinking
of January 6th
I was like
that would be
that would be
those guys are really
when they hit that
real high
and they enter that
Nancy Pelosi's office
they get that
they peak
a lot more
shits on the desk
yeah
they're like
oh my god we took over the country.
I was like, you dress up?
Oh yeah, I could dress up.
I could have a fucking good time with boys.
January 6th, yeah.
I don't know.
There's probably any event would be pretty weird.
Any event.
Family Christmas.
Conclave with the popes, man.
Get nuts with it.
Make all the
cardinals take MDMA
that'd be fucking
sick
a whole bunch of
priests and
bishop and shit
tripping would be
awesome
well actually this
is funny you said
this because there's
a book called
The Immortality
Key and it's a
book about they
think that the
bible was written
by people who
were on LSD
there's a drug
that's actually
made out of barley
and the guy
who i took the plane with to like at a burning man wrote the book really and he was explained
to me the whole time so actually that he and he's a it's a really big book he was giving speeches
at burning man it's a really famous book now that kind of even like the church looks into it they
think that some of the stories told in the bible were on like mushroom psychedelics it makes a lot
of sense right um plug his book you're like
you'll get to his walking on water like fucking right but like yeah like the burning bush burning
maybe it's on maybe not mdma i don't think they had it back then but there is something that
one of the root elements of lsd is also in natural it's like part of a bar like barley
like when you ferment barley it kind of does this one thing i don't i can't tell the story
but read the book yeah immortality key immortality yeah i like that
yeah so there's been a lot but people have been doing psychedelics forever i mean yeah when you
think about like have you guys ever done ayahuasca no you guys should do it do the show
the thing i i can't get past there everyone tells like the story and the experience they went
through and they all just kind of yada yada through the violent puking and shitting and stuff and i'm like that does not sound great
to me bro like the the end part has to be really fucking awesome for the beginning part of violent
shitting and puking i don't know man i drink like 10 beers and i do that
there is like a resolution at the end of ayahuasca it's always different for other people but i think
like the one thing people always say it's like an ego death so no matter what you do like you
finish like you're like damn i feel really like i can i can make new challenges like i feel like
i'm not that special it humbles you yeah in a really good way and i think a lot of like you
like celeb types and like you know hedge fund guys they need that constantly we need something that brings it up a little bit look around remember when you were one foot
deep at that trench yeah that's like where you're in the trenches that's baseline dude
you guys are already on that high you don't need you're talking to a man who has had trench mouth
everyone they complain about trench foot i've had trench mouth That's not a joke His mouth turned grey one day
It was like rotting
Is that putting mouth disease?
Same thing?
I woke up and I was bleeding
All grey and I was like dude what is this
And he was like you have trench mouth
And I was like
That makes me think of the trenches in World War 2
And he's like that's exactly where it's from And I was like well how the fuck did I, like, the trenches in World War II. And he's like, that's exactly where it's from.
And I was like, well, how the fuck did I get it?
And he said, you got it from stress.
And I was like, I have to imagine I'm not as stressed as the guys were fighting chemical warfare.
And he's like, I would imagine your baseline is a little different than theirs, but you're experiencing it.
So how did you get to pills or something?
I took, like, an antibiotic.
Your breath was probably kicking it wasn't great
that was a bad that was a bad week for you yeah i didn't come to work that week
uh you just mentioned before uh house music and all that shit going mainstream i think
where you used is that um is that like weird when like it's almost like a
band getting put on but a whole like genre you know where it's like hey i i liked them before
they were big but all the fucking you know i think that didn't that didn't happen with dance music
because i think dancers have been around forever i mean it started in you know in chicago detroit
in america like from disco 70s to house everything it kind of skipped america though and went straight to europe yeah
so then it like turned into many different genres techno and it just kind of like when i go to
europe they just have this really long history with dance music that kind of came back to america
when you probably went to you know randall's island with avicii and swedish house it became
it was really bright and big it missed all like the cool things that it did
for 20 years
so it kind of came back
like that
with Avicii and them
like 10-15 years ago
but it wasn't a bad thing
like it was like great
everybody started going
to dance parties
and I think the last 10 years
we kind of acclimated
to like all the cool stuff
so now when you go out
like I think Tale of Us
was playing at
Brooklyn Mirage
this weekend
super like heavy
techno from Italy
like everything's big
in America now
like and it's all
cool stuff like there's like young black DJs from detroit that are doing like really detroit
techno music that are also touring all over america and i think now america just kind of
is back to being everybody's kind of into it young people like young if you go to a college
party right now they're playing like zach bryan and deep house that's like all the young people
listen to so it's like it's good for everybody it's like good it's like good music again so it's it's not a bad thing yeah i mean there was that probably like 2010 11 12 13 whatever where it was
like everything was a collab with with one of you guys right get a and calvin harris and you
yeah but that i mean that was some great fucking records there they were good but the lyrics kind
of like peaked at like in the club hands up it was like really like no it was hard to tell but then when you see that
when you hear like without you that was the usher song like those records are titanium with sia like
they're like they're like epic epic records and it really american radio needed those like hooks
to be like oh this is dance music and then you go it's like it was like the uh like the like the
discovery drug you get like a big big pop record
and then you go to like a rave and you're like oh what's this tent oh what's it they go what kind
of music is this and you start like exploring a little more it's like sure it was it was the
gateway drug yeah those big records yeah then you get into it and like now it's kind of like
when i played like you see they have like 40 stages like there's music everywhere all kinds
of music's happening like uh you know even like hip-hop there's music everywhere. All kinds of music's happening.
Even like hip-hop,
there's just so much crossover now in cool ways.
People are really,
the fans are really pushing DJs
into doing interesting things
and I think it's getting bigger every day
and it's not a bad thing.
Not in a bad way.
What part of a supplier
do you consider yourself
if it's a gateway drug?
I'm like the distributor
and the dealer too
because I have a record label so I put out other people's records and i like find other artists and
we put it out on my label it's called hide the higher ground it's like we do different house
records and do different parties so we facilitate if you want to come to the party we do one we're
doing like the one and we're doing one in brooklyn here in brooklyn mirage like october
12th two of them so that's like about to announce it Tomorrow The whole lineup But we do it
We did Seattle
We do a bunch of that
Everywhere
Like we do parties everywhere
And then we bring a lot of
New young DJs
And I make a lot of music too
But
You know
What is the
I've always been kind of confused
Between like
What's the difference of like
Being a producer
Versus a DJ
Versus like
Like when it's
When it's
Your track Yeah you you are like you
make that beat but then there's djs who are just like djing right like you know what i mean like
do you is it always like an original track or sometimes is it no when i play music i'll play
like everything you know like i'll play yeah yeah i'll play like 10 be the records i make because i
think those fans are want to hear that but i can when i go to vegas i'm playing three hours i'm playing
like no of course but big records and i'm saying like uh like someone like dj khaled at one point
was like just spinning records and djing parties then kind of becomes like a producer and then
like are they making those songs or is it like I'm kind of maybe like an anomaly I don't understand it at all
he's a good friend
I know he has a lot of producers
he makes a lot of music
he has like big records
every rapper
has to be on his album
he always debuts
like really high
his marketing is always
so crazy and weird
he's just so funny
and you know
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like
he's like he's like he's like he's like he's like he's like he's like he's like he's like he's like he's like he's like he's like he's like he's like he's like he's he's like how much a comedian when you watch his like snapchat he watches instagram totally but i'm not sure he's like a really a producer i think he's more
like a an a and r he likes someone yeah everybody's like oh this record is great put this guy on the
record put that guy on the record but he kind of facilitated himself to become everything the
artist the dj you're always going to hear him play all i do is win yeah whenever he plays it
he's a great i play with him all the time like you know big events and he's he has the big hits
you know but when it comes like young guys like me and producers not that i'm a young guy but I play with him all the time. Big events and he has the big hits.
But when it comes to young guys like me and producers,
not that I'm a young guy,
but there's a lot of young producers and DJs and they're all making their own music now.
Guys like John Summit, Dom Dollar.
They're really good producers.
Like what Ghetto was doing 20 years ago,
making his music.
But not all of them have to make music.
Some of them are just selectors.
They just like to go out and play records.
Which is crazy.
There's DJs
everyone's got their friend
who's like
don't let him touch
the fucking phone
it's gonna suck
there's always these memes
when you come home
for Thanksgiving
and it's like
oh how's your DJ career
the grandma's like
the son just arrives
he's like a producer
or whatever
it's kind of embarrassing
but like your new
record Heartbroken
how does that come about
you pick those people
does the label
like that record so they got in the middle of all this doesn't make that much sense i'm doing a lot
of like dance music and like a burning man but i have a country project that's called like thomas
wesley and the last single is heartbroken so uh we have this record um amy allen wrote it
and uh ilse juber they're like two songwriters that i really like amy allen's yeah she's really
i saw you now i'm like here it was mercury lounge or something like two songwriters that I really like. Amy Allen's fire. She's really good. I saw Amy Allen like here
at Mercury Lounge
or something like that.
She's awesome.
That's where I,
when a friend took me,
she's awesome.
So you know,
I know she writes great records
and I love Ilse Juber.
I've written with her
for like Beyonce.
I'm also a writer
so like I'll make some music
on some chords
and someone will sing on it
and we had this song
and it was called Heartbroken
and we asked Jessie Murph
to sing it
because she's like
a really cool young artist
and then Ron Perry
who runs Columbia is like let's get a rapper on it so we can kind of like just hit all the marks so go to
polo g's fans country fans and it was kind of perfect collab and we just put them all together
had her sing it she did some tweaks to do a little writing and so there's probably seven people all
together writing the record and then it's my art that's my record like it's it's like diplo's
record with jesse murph apology and that's kind of just with a major label they kind of put it all together like a little
like a little math equation is that what you like I remember I mentioned Failing Up earlier and when
you're on Failing Up you talked about how like you actually don't really like producing you said
you said you prefer I just I hate this I hate like it's like more like sound design it's kind
of like what your edit what your producer's doing you know when your show's done you guys walk away
yeah someone's got to put it all together.
That's the part I hate.
I have to do that.
I have to make the music and then sit in the computer and make it sound good and engineer it, EQ it, and stuff like that.
I do everything, so that is the lamest part.
That's the busy work.
It makes you like, I hate being a producer, that part.
But sometimes you can have fun and make some really crazy music.
I mean, someone like Skrillex is like a Mozart of Ableton.
He just makes things that you've never heard or like Fred again.
You've seen his videos of him playing with NPCs and stuff.
Some guys are just like savants when it comes to the production side.
I'm more into editing the drums and playing a little guitar and finding a good song.
But it does take a lot of time to make it.
The final product is way different than what you hear.
What you hear is just maybe a guitar and me humming or something and then the final project is like
45 versions later. So it takes a while to get it good
You also mentioned in that one like and I think in that same sentence you were talking about how you prefer like
I don't remember who it was you got in a room with be like I love getting in the room
And like we were like 20 songs in 20 hours
Have you ever had like a session like that
where you like you come out and you're like you put out you know the 20 songs you wrote whatever
and one song pops off and you're like wait that's the one you like that's not no this is the good
one happens all the time really even the country album i did i did a record that i really loved
with sturgill simpson and um doug cameron we like just loved the record so much and it came out it
didn't really go anywhere.
That's crazy.
It's like, wow,
but you just never know.
You just roll the dice when it comes to TikTok
and what happens,
what people like.
People just gravitate
towards something.
It might be a meme.
It could be someone
sings it at a soccer...
You don't even know.
It literally,
you can't control it.
It used to be able to control it.
The labels really had some kind of like,
we're going to put all this money here
but now really,
they just put out records
and hope that something good happens.
Do you resent that?
No, because that's just the business.
Some records, I don't even like that.
This record called On My Mind.
It was a house record, but some guy did a dance to it, and it went viral.
There's a record called Harlem Shake.
Do you guys remember this record?
Yeah, of course.
That was on my label, and this guy was like the pink guy.
He was frozen they started
doing the dance and then next thing you know hillary clinton does the dance so that song
was brought by artist named bauer and actually joji is the pink guy the artist named joji was
like actually a meme guy back in the day on youtube and um the record came out and this
thing happened it went viral and it was the first first number one on Billboard as an instrumental record ever.
I started counting YouTube views back then.
So everything changes.
And as a producer, it's just my job to move with it.
And you can't be mad, bro.
If you're mad, then you sound like an old-ass hater.
You just got to keep moving.
But there's still got to be sometimes like, this isn't the good song, you asshole.
In private, I'm like, fuck these little kids and this fucking algorithm.
Yeah, I do that.
But not on an interview.
I love it all.
You're writing a song.
You're like, I know Blippi's going to shit on his friend over this one.
Did you see that?
You know that guy, Blippi?
No, it was Blippi.
Blippi?
Blippi sounds like he could be a fucking DJ, too.
No, Blippi is a children's YouTuber.
And my kids watch him.
He wears a hat with a little propeller and suspenders.
And he's like, kids today, we're going to go to the museum.
We're going to look at dinosaurs.
Like Blue's Clues kind of yes yes prior to that though because he just he just got a gig as like an actor prior to that he was kind of trying to be like an internet
fucking shock value videos so you know the whole vibe of like when the beat drops onto the Harlem
Shake the room changes or whatever so it was like him and his friend were like dancing. And then when the beat drops,
his buddy is fucking laying down on his back with like his legs over his
head.
And he shits onto his buddy,
like,
like explosive diarrhea.
He basically like diarrhea is into another person's ass.
It just got found or it's been around for a while.
Oh,
I knew about it when it first happened.
And then like, it was like, about it when it first happened and then like
it was like
wait
that guy became
and then he became
a kid's fucking guy
what was his name
it was like
he had some stupid name
I'll say this
it's fucking funny
it's fucking funny dude
I mean
it's incredible accuracy
the poop is a solid poop
and it suits
it's no
it's not
it's just like a fountain
He hits his mark
He was trying to shit into a guy's ass and he did it
You're not going to watch it twice
But when you watch it you're going to laugh
I actually never watched Two Girls One Cup
I never watched it
I'm happy
That is
You can skip that
You can miss that
I remember my friend's
sister making me watch it
and I was
really gagging
the whole time
but I'm happy I watched it
like um
you got through it
I've been through war man
you know
I feel like I have to watch
everything
yeah
when we were kids
I remember the faces of death
hell yeah
VHS
people were trading on the back market
like the schools
like the new
all that shit
faces of death and e-bombs world.
Rotten.com.
E-fuck.
Rotten.com.
Rotten.com.
Like, that bred, for better or worse, that's, like, why that generation, why we are the
way we are.
Yeah.
It's kind of.
Because that was back, your parents were probably like, what's the internet?
Oh, you're, like, looking at pictures?
Okay.
It's like, yeah, but they're pictures of people with their faces ripped off.
You know? I just watched a little girl got hit by a train mom
tommy sent it over yeah said if i don't watch he's not gonna pick me first at gym tomorrow
it's really different because back in the day you had like there's always like an abandoned house
that had like a penthouse magazine in it or whatever that was the only time you got something
something weird then the internet happened so you had an abandoned house that you watched you
looked at your porn?
There was a,
no,
there was a,
my grandpa lived in this place
in Georgia.
I remember there was always
this abandoned house
that was in the neighborhood.
We always went over our bikes to it
and we were like,
there's always a porno in this house.
So we,
what we've found
in talking to everybody
we've ever talked to
is you either come from a town
that has a weird
communal porn thing
or you don't. so like i grew up outside
of philly for a little bit and we used to ride our bikes to the woods to look at there was a big
box of porno and i'll i'll tell that story and you know one guy goes like yo dude me and my town too
but he was like what the fuck are you guys talking about because if you don't have that you're like
you had a box of porn in the woods,
but everybody who did experience it,
it's like,
yeah,
it's the box of porn in the woods.
Like,
what do you mean?
It's weird,
but I think it's like our age
because we just didn't have
any access to information.
Like,
it was like,
it was like literally,
you couldn't go buy it
unless you had like a weird bodega
or something.
Right.
I'll tell you what,
but yeah,
porn on paper.
Dude,
porn on paper sounds like
that's a good album name.
We used to hand, we had one magazine at hockey camp that we like, literally like, we that's a good album we used to hand
we had one magazine
at hockey camp
that we like
literally like
got into a movie
like pass under
fucking bathroom stalls
and stuff
it was
that's gross
it was not
it was not nice
probably the pages
were real hard
dude one had a
fucking target on it
one I swear
one I swear to god
you guys were just
sharing it
just before
bro
we'd share it
and then we'd page
with a five bucks and put icy hot on our balls don't let guys hang out together it's crazy before wet wipes and stuff. Bro, we'd share it, and then we'd pay each other five bucks to put Icy Hot on our balls.
Don't let guys hang out together.
It's crazy that you would let us hang out together in groups.
What's Icy Hot on the balls do?
It fucking hurts, bro.
Torches you.
It's incredibly painful.
I asked earlier, do you resent about people liking the wrong song?
Do you have a song where you're like out
and you're like,
I don't want to do this fucking song again.
And then you're like,
I got it.
Cause you're talking about like playing the big tracks
for him and stuff like that.
But where you're like.
I mean,
there's always,
I started as like a songwriter.
I didn't just become like a famous DJ.
So I moved to LA.
I was like just in sessions with whoever.
Like I was like,
they put me in a room,
like just write a record,
make something happen.
You know,
one of the guys was Bruno Mars back in the day.
He was not even a popping guy,
but he was in my first sessions. And I'm just like, this guy is really fucking good. Like he of the guys was Bruno Mars back in the day he was not even a poppin guy but he was in my
first sessions
and I was just like
this guy is really
fucking good
like he was writing
for Flo Rida back then
like writing the raps
Bruno Mars used to
write for Flo Rida
he did the raps
for Right Round Baby
Right Round
no way dude
and I was like
this guy is way
and I ended up
having an album
cut on his record
called Liquor Store Blues
that was like
probably one of the
first records I like
wrote with somebody
and then so I've done
lots of stuff
like little bits and pieces here and there.
I've never been like, I wish I didn't do that.
I've never had a moment where I'm like, I've always been kind of proud of what I've done,
all the music I've made.
So you don't mind playing any song now?
Some songs are just a little old or cheap.
I just don't feel like, I'm not like, I'm always excited to play a brand new record.
That's what a DJ does.
We break new records. It feels good. Sometimes I'm like, I'm always excited To play like a brand new record I'm always excited That's what a DJ does We like break new records It feels good
Kind of
Sometimes I'm like
Damn my fans still want to hear
Like this song
And I'm like
It's okay
I kind of
I always thought
I was always kind of
Of the school of thought
Like what's your hit
Like I think Eminem
Went through that
Where he didn't want to do
Slim Shady
And I think Avril Lavigne
That skater boy
I'm sure everyone's had it done
I mean Stones bro
They're still like 80
And they're still doing like
Fucking
Start me up It's like every night Like with the same stones, bro. They're still like 80 and they're saying they're still doing like fucking every night.
Like with the same energy.
That's like,
they're telling us we got to wrap up before we do.
I got,
I got to ask you,
do you remember the rivalry you had with Frankie Borelli?
Dave's,
uh,
Dave's cameraman.
He,
he,
it was,
you guys were at the sports illustrated party.
Okay.
And,
and,
uh,
he,
he like tried to follow you into a VIP section.
Okay, yeah.
And you were like, who the fuck are you?
And then the guys here baited him into posting an Instagram saying,
like, fuck you, Diplo, and you posted something back.
Does any of this ring a bell?
I do remember that moment because I remember that was another thing
that happened at that Sports Illustrated party,
but I don't remember what the beef was.
There really was none.
Apparently he had
a stack of Dave's cash
and he put it up to his ear
and said something like,
talking shit to you,
and then you posted
your own Instagram
and didn't mention him,
but you had two stacks of cash.
Oh, that's good.
That's good.
That party was nuts, though,
because it was all
Sports Illustrated models.
It was in Arizona,
I think, or Phoenix,
and I was like,
behind me was this one model,
I'm not going to name her name,
but she had all this MDMA,
and she just gave it to every model.
And so it was just all the models.
It was all the big old models from that episode.
That's why you remember it.
They were all just so.
I was like, why is everybody having so much fun here?
Because these parties are not that cool with models.
It's like, I don't want to be here.
I've got stuff to do.
I've got a kid to go to.
And they were all in sync, like dancing and sweating.
It was really sweaty.
We need more of this.
The party needs to keep going.
I'm changing my answer.
They're telling me you gotta go.
Love you guys.
