Like, I mean, Drake bombed with this last album for the most part. Doesn't he have seven or five songs? Yeah, but like by Drake's standards, it's like... How did he bomb? It's always going to be a commercial success with Drake, but he just has so many fans. But like rap, the rap world was like, you just mailed this shit.

It's just the same exact songs you've been doing forever. So they say he's going to take some time off. J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar already take a lot of time in between projects.

Columbus. Columbus. And then Pittsburgh. There it is. The Berg, baby. We're coming to the Berg. A lot of tickets left in the Berg. A lot of tickets left in the Berg.

A lot of tickets left in the Berg. I saw your tweet today. I was like, oh, boy. We picked a big venue in the Berg. Oh, I know the venue. We did a Barstool Blackout show there. Yeah. Yeah.

Is it outdoors? No, but it's like a – They have an outdoor space. That's all I see on the website. Are these the guys who are trying to charge us $10,000 for a projector? Yeah. Yeah, okay. So part of our –

It's like in the shadow. I believe it's either owned by – There was some connection to the Rooney family. Either the Rooney family owns it or it's like in the shadow. I believe it's either owned by – there was some connection to the Rooney family. Either the Rooney family owns it or it's like in the shadow of the Steelers stadium. I forget which it is. Shadow. There isn't a Steelers game this weekend, so look at this. So here's the – a big part of our show is like an audiovisual thing where we put shit on a big screen.

And almost every club has a projector, a pull-down screen, TV screen, something. This club does not. And we were like, can we get one? And they were like, yeah, sure, for $3,000. Buddy, we're only going to make $1,000. I was going to say, we would lose $2,000 on this show. We would lose $2,000. So they followed up with, oh, if you just want the screen, because if you wanted to bring your own projector.

BYOP. 200 for the screen. Yeah, sounds about right. But even that, $200 for you to pull down a fucking screen? Fuck you guys. So Pittsburgh, you're in for a treat, because we're just going to fucking wing it. It's basically, this is the last live shows we'll ever be doing So Pittsburgh is

Going to be a doozy with no screen And knowing that we're not really going on tour Ever again We don't really use much screen though More than you think Like what? Will we play all those clips? Which ones?

The shit our lawyers won't want to say. Yeah, that's like 10 minutes, 5 minutes. There's a highlight right now in the show, though, of a clip we play. Of like... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Of a story. That's a big moment. Yeah. And then, I mean, yeah, the rest, you don't really need it.

It's just the company's in it. It's like a picture. Yeah, yeah. You know, there's a lot of times we reference a picture. We talk about the... Right. It's like watching the podcast in. It's like a picture. There's a lot of times we reference a picture. We talk about the... It's like watching the podcast versus listening to the podcast. Yes, yes. It's still going to be like a good show. But yeah, that's the perfect way to put it. It's like

it's just enhanced with what you can see. But for everybody in Cincy, Columbus, and Pittsburgh, and then our final leg ending in Buffalo in November. These are our last shows. So get it while you can. If you ever thought about coming to see KFC Radio, don't wait. Don't November. These are our last shows. So get it while you can. If you ever thought about coming to see KC Radio,

don't wait. Don't sleep. These are the times to do it because everybody else is going to go off and do other shit rather than tour in the coming years. So get it in while you can. Preferably about 400 more of you in Pittsburgh. Everywhere else is either

sold out or close to it. pittsburgh have we got any word on detroit detroit's a massive venue too um let me check right now i've only been looking at detroit's one it's the most beautiful venue i've ever seen really yeah it's called the majestic it looks so nice yeah that's probably for like real major acts let me see um let's see no it's not bad we're we're about halfway at detroit okay cool yeah yeah that's that's that'll be all right we'll get like another hundred in there we'll be we'll be in good shape um but but the berg you know do your thing do your thing. Do your thing. I got nothing. What do we got? I got nothing.

I did not give one thought before we started. I had some shit I want to talk about. No, I can't remember. I guess I haven't thought about it either. Classic. This podcast kicks ass. Two things. First off, are you seeing the mountain dew response on my twitter no bro i don't know what's going on motherfuckers are drinking mountain dew really

like what what one guy was like mountain dew like rules the corporate world like all i see are men drinking mountain dew in corporate life and p and i i quote tweeted it being like get the corporate world like all i see are men drinking mountain dew in corporate life and and i i quote sweden it being like get the fuck out of here and people like no man he's right apparently it's a regional thing that like like any basically you know how everyone's an animal outside of the northeast it all makes perfect sense yeah like you know people drink it sure you know how everyone i never debated that fact yeah yeah you know everyone's like from a trailer park That's like east of West of like Philadelphia

Everyone's in a fucking trailer park So apparently those people just all day Bro everyone at my fucking industrial park In Toledo drinks Mountain Dew Yeah that's what I said And then I'm getting New York people are being like if i ever if anyone at work ever saw me drink anything other than water and coffee i would

kill myself like there are guys who are saying that they like you know they bring like a two liter and start drinking it in the morning and just drink it throughout the day and that's insanity like that is nuts but but even even with the whole rest of the country being poor, as we know, I'm still surprised by how many people are like, do the do, baby. I couldn't believe it, man. And they were specifying diet. Like, that fucking matters. Like, that fucking matters, man.

You're already drinking radioactive nuclear soda. Whether it's diet or not does not fucking matter. If you don't have dirt under your fingernails, you shouldn't be drinking that. That's a good call. And you know what also? And you know what? If you do have dirt on your fingernails, go ahead. Yeah, yeah, go ahead. Like, go ahead and drink that dude. I'm gonna live past 60 anyway.

You're in a coal mine to begin with. And the dirt under your fingernails covers a various wide range of ages. We're like, you could be a child playing outside. You could be a laborer. It doesn't matter. But dirt.

You got dirt under your fingernails and no health care. Drink it. Drink that, dude, baby. How about this guy? I'm in the teaching world. If you were trying to... I don't know why I saw this after we were talking about that. Well, now I'm concerned that they're an advertiser.

I was going to say. What is this doing here? Well, we're just going to bleep every time we say my name. That's a bit of a plot twist. If someone... I feel like I'm in... I'm like... I don't know.

I feel like I'm sitting with the person I'm about I don't know I feel like I'm sitting with the person I'm about to kill whereas I'm just like just play cool play cool you don't know what's gonna happen the way you're moving that around it looks like it's moving on its own

some equalizer shit what Mountain Dew doesn't know I'm gonna take this out of the shot yeah I think we should go ahead and do that. I'm going to quit now, and we're going to... Edit the last five minutes. We'll leave this part in, but if asked, I will plead ignorance nonetheless.

I thought we were sponsored by Mountain Dew. When did that happen? Let's put it this way. Mountain Dew could be a sponsor of OnlyFans, OnlyStans, and Lower In The Bar. It's about right. I will say, in general, though, the soda in the workplace, I never noticed how weird it was. The only time I ever heard somebody open one was when we had Harrison over the summer

and he just cracked open a Diet Coke and I was like, was that a bottle of Diet Coke? He's got to carry on the family tradition on that one. I mean, listen, I can't talk too much shit because I'm white trash and I guzzle Coke, but within the white trash world of drinking soda,

there's a hierarchy. People who drink Diet Coke and regular Coke are light years ahead of the new people. One of the tweets said I'm a teacher. Light years is strong. No, bro. Come on.

No, no, no. The amount of people who drink Diet Coke is... There's a lot of people who drink Diet Coke. We'd still watch you guys fight in the Hunger Games. Diet Coke's a big hangover drink. People love a good fountain soda from McDonald's.

Diet Coke. There's a lot of people who have that. You're just describing situations where you're like, I have a piece of shit. Might as well go all in if I'm acting like a real scumbag here. If I had a teacher trying to teach me while drinking the Dew, I wouldn't respect a single thing they said. I had a teacher, Mrs. Pillsbury, who used to just fuck.

Mrs. Pillsbury? Dude, she was morbidly obese, so mean, and she was fucking... She had a mini fridge in her glass. Fuck yeah. And she was just... That's the only way I agree with it. Like, go all in. No, no, no, no. Oh, you thought she kept beverages in it. That's silly. She kept what's the piece

of shit? Snack. It's like yellow with white filling. Yellow with white filling? Twinkiesinkies twinkies yeah oh she just had a mini fridge stocked full of twinkies in her in her off in her class well the twinkie is the food mountain dew yeah yeah these are these these things go together you know drink it eat a twinkie drink wash it down with mountain dew that's i i was flabbergasted man a lot of people being like nah man this is it

but with the huge caveat you're all animals outside the northeast yeah yeah all of you like someone was like someone's like have you ever stepped foot in the south and I was like fucking no but that's what I'm talking yeah yeah that's who we're making we're making fun of you guys yeah yeah um like look like yeah my brother-in-law teaches high school English and doesn't do coffee or energy drinks. Only the do. Like, yo, those kids, nobody respects you. Nobody respects you. They're like, well, pull a hey, mister with fucking Mr. Football later.

It's Billy Football. Barabi Football tweeted that. But, like, if your teacher drinks Mountain Dew in class, he'll buy you booze after class. Hell, yeah. Like, teach, we got a party this weekend. My parents are out of town. You want to come? Can I come?

I'll do some skateboard tricks at it. Somebody tweeted me, what are your thoughts on Red Bull in the morning? It's the same fucking thoughts, guys. Yeah, but, I mean, I guess Red Bull's a little bit different. If you're going to start to split hairs between Diet Coke and Mountain Dew, you are really splitting hairs between morning Red Bulls versus morning Mountain Dews. Well, I don't do any of it.

But a morning Red Bull is an energy drink. Yeah, there's a purpose behind it, not just like, I want this sugary yellow drink. The Red Bull is designed to give you energy. It gives you wings. Mountain Dew was designed to let everyone in the area know. You are. Trailer Park Trash. Like, if things go south here. Like, Eminem in 8 Mile drinks Mountain Dew.

It is wrapped out of there. I do drink Mountain Dew! Like, you almost have to do it proudly. Or not at all. Yeah. And even proudly. You should be on a mode of transportation when you do it so you can get out of town quickly when people start to boo you.

Be it a bicycle with pegs, a skateboard, rollerblades. I think somebody actually tweeted at me saying, like, I only drink it in my vehicle. You should be mobile when praising it in my vehicle. I think that's what they said. You should be mobile when praising Mountain Dew. Yeah.

I drink Mountain Dew exclusively in my vehicle only. That guy knows what's up. That checks out. Jonesy. Aaron Jones. Aaron Jones knows how to hide his white trash. I feel like if you do have it, once a year on a road trip. Yeah.

It's a gas station thing. Yeah. I could not tell you the last time I had it. I do not know. If you asked me what flavor Mountain Dew is, my answer would be yellow. I don't even know what flavor it is. I definitely had it as a kid, but not in regularity. I tried it.

I'm sure I had a sip. I don't think I ever went to the vending machine and doop-doop. Choked Mountain Dew. Yeah. I don't think I was at a party vending machine and... Chose Mountain Dew. Yeah. I don't think I was at a party and it was like, do you want Sprite, Coke, or Mountain Dew? And I was like, Mountain Dew. Never once. Never once.

I did. But also, we didn't skateboard and shit. But I did think it was the coolest of the sodas. Really? Yeah. Actually, I liked the X Games. I went to the X Games. You had so little self-esteem, You wouldn't even drink the cool drink

Well I just didn't Fizzy drinks don't really do it for me I never really liked them They make my nose tingle and stuff like that So I just never really did carbonated drinks Did you drink juice as a kid? I had like little juicy juice boxes sometimes Yeah

Or high C Yeah I think Mountain Dew is absolute trash But you give me an Ecto Cooler And I'm like this is amazing But even high C The highC wasn't any regular. It was like, it was juicy juice, like the healthy juice box. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Even though there's just like, you know, Kool-Aid, basically.

It was like 3% juice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This isn't all made out of dust. The fucking ashes of fruit. We set a bunch of fruit on fire, and then we mixed up the ash, and that's juicy juice. What do you call it? Powder? No, when you burn someone.

Brandy? No, when you burn someone dead. Cremated. Cremated. You're not burning someone oh they're already dead yeah yeah yeah got it got it got it

so I mean I guess shout out to the do everybody does the do you guys are stronger you are legion you're stronger than I thought

can I tell you about my shirt sure can't see it what is it very sick shirt oh hell yeah right yep very cool I got it About my shirt? Sure. Can't see it. Very sick shirt. Oh, hell yeah.

Right? Yep. Very cool. I got it from the Paul Walker Foundation on the anniversary of his death, or maybe his birthday recently. Can I tell you now the most insane thing that was said to me last week? It's the most insulting thing that's ever been said to me at Barstool Sports. We were talking movies, and Fasoli, the biggest Barstool fan in the history of the world.

Truly. Says to me. I didn't know you were a fan. I can't believe you've never seen Fast and Furious. And I said, what did you say to me? Man with a Viva tattoo on his leg? And he's like, you've never seen Fast and Furious. That's so crazy to me. You love those movies. God movies. Why did he say to me? Man with a Viva tattoo on his leg? And he's like, you've never seen Fast and Furious? That's so crazy to me. You love those movies.

Why did he make that assumption? He's like, you said it. And I was like, I didn't say it. Because I saw Fast and Furious 1 in theaters. My dad drove home really fast. I remember that. Yeah, I watched all 20 of them in a row. He said when I was watching that, I said I'd never seen them before. It's just categorically untrue.

And I was watching that, I said I'd never seen them before. It's just categorically untrue. And I was like, do you live and breathe Barstool? That man knows every single thing. There are like three things about me. Arguably number one is Fast and Furious. And he was like, never heard of it, man. That is so disrespectful like like like the last person on earth i really care about their opinion is fasoli but if he had if he didn't know something about me i'd be like what are you fucking kidding me about everybody he knows everything so little he reads

it was it was it was a nice i was like okay all right see where i stand good good good reality check good to know. Yeah, you think you're big at this company? Fasoli doesn't even know what you're doing. Yeah. Fasoli knows, like, you know, Fasoli knows what, like, the new Mean Girls podcast is about. Fasoli knows, you know, everything about everybody. Doesn't know the biggest thing about you.

All right, all right, John. Don't like it, play better. That's it, right? Like, gotta. You had a controversial take. Uh-huh. You said that Paul Walker is the hunk of Fast and the Furious. I did say that.

I was going to bring it up on Barstool Radio today because we have a gay man on the show today. But I'm interested to talk about it. I just think, are you talking looks-wise? Because, yeah, he's a better-looking guy. Yeah. I think a hunky dude is like, you're muscular,'re not i don't think you're huge i'm i'm talking more like front man like the front man of face fast and furious the face of fast and furious is vin diesel now it was paul walker but like there's been so much more vin no no i i paul walker, I'd say, number two in the Fast franchise.

Vin Diesel is number one now. But up to Fast. Well, yeah. They're one and two. Up to Fast 7, it was Paul Walker's series. He was in 7, huh? 7 out of 10? Yeah.

All right. That's fair. Yeah. I thought he was in like 4. And he's still. He's in 7? He's in 7. He's in 7.

He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7.

He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7.

He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7.

He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7.

He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in 7.

He's in 7. He's in 7. He's in Seven? He's in Seven. Like, appears alive on... Okay. Yeah, yeah. He goes away at the end of Seven, but... It's Paul Walker. You might know what you're talking about when it comes to those movies. I bet, though, like, I bet if you ask the general public, like, who's the star of Fast and the Furious? Yeah, because it's only gone, like, crazy popular in the last three years.

Yeah, in the last three years. Yeah. So, like, now you would say it's Vince. Isn't it funny to be like, that series really didn't get cooked until the eighth one. Well, no, because what's weird is that's when they started going downhill.

Well, that's when it became downhill for the movies, but became a joke series thing. Was it eight zombie cars? Yes. That was wild yeah that was your car accident car accident car accident seven seven is a lot though that's crazy i i would have uh never guessed that so and and vin was only of the first seven they were both in six no they were both in five no the paul walker was in six vindy's was in five yeah of the first seven they were both in six no they were both in five no the paul walker was in six

fendi's was in five yeah of the first seven it's really a very interesting series that like it they lost them they brought them back yeah there's a death it became kind of a pop culture zeitgeist thing like it's it's a very interesting the fact it's dope yeah the fact but but but you know there's there really is like it's very even if yes the movie the content is silly fine whatever but everything else about that is like you know there's a lot of business behind like the stars that came and went the stars they brought in like all that shit it's like there was i mean like ja rule could have had tyrese's job ja rule ludacris's job ja rule made like, I'm a rapper, and I don't want to be. I need to be a hardcore rapper.

Yeah. Which is kind of funny, because he was always doing the Ashanti songs and pop songs. But I'm pretty sure his thing was like, no, no, no. People need to respect me in the rap game. Boy, that was a bad call. Dude, Fast and Furious. Because 50 Cent put him in his fucking grave and then he didn't have rap at all and he could have at least just been like well i'm still in these movies

and then ludacris tyree's guys like 50 went on to act and it was like so much of a bigger career for them it's it's our role just disappeared the uh it's been a very confident franchise since it's it's inception where they're like, fine, go do your thing. Yes. We'll be here. We'll be fine. Vin Diesel left. Vin Diesel's not in too fast of years.

He wanted to go do Triple X. Right. And guess what? Triple X bombed. Guess who came back? Crawling on back. Because you know what? It really is...

I don't think Triple X bombed, but it didn't do great. I was going to say, isn't that a... There are three, I think. Three of them, right? Yeah. That's a bomb

by his standards. I know, maybe four. Three of them, right? That's a bomb by his standards. I don't know, maybe four. Vin did two. There was also Chronicles of Riddick and all that shit. Yeah, I think Vin did two. They gave it to Ice Cube. And I think Vin Diesel's doing another one. Any movie that can have the lead be played by Vin Diesel or Ice Cube is not a movie I want to see.

Not a movie I want to see. Not a movie I want to see. No, dude. It actually speaks to, I think, how we're still trying to figure it out. Our American James Bond. Search XXX movies. See what happens there. I thought Vin Diesel was typed in, too.

I think that was like he's kind of a spy. I wish we had an American Bond. Well, I was going to say, it's this. Yeah. Fast and the Furious is Americana. that was like he's kind of a spy to the i don't i wish we had an american bond and i know well i was gonna say it's this yeah fast and the furious is americana yeah you're probably honestly you're probably right i'm not even joking because what i was gonna say before is the bond is my favorite bond is i'm obsessed with those guys the creators the what's the dude who we interviewed Neil Horowitz like those guys make movies about cars like you know what I mean

like cars, muscle cars, racing drag racing, cars you're not bigger than cars you know what I mean you don't want to act in this people like cars and they're coming for the fucking cars and we can change you guys in and

out to an extent but it's cars it's like dinosaurs and jurassic park it's you know what i mean it's like this is just shit it's big and loud and we like it so you know you can you could you you might think you're the fucking the the the reason why this franchise is big it's not it's you know the crashes the scenes the, all that shit. That was also the birth of, not the birth, but that was like the final boss of like, yep, The Rock is just steroids for action franchises because he'd done G.I. Joe.

He'd done Jumanji. He'd just plug them in. Yeah, and it takes off. And then Black Adam was like, well, none of the high end anymore. Well, yeah, you know what? It's like he was never like the star, right? Like the single solo man.

He's always like Kevin Hart's with him. He's always like a big ensemble cast. He's a big important part of it. But like when you're the superhero. Skyscraper was dope. Skyscraper was so good. I saw Skyscraper like Sunday afternoon. Wait, is that what that's called? Skyscraper?

No, San Andreas. Different movie. San Andreas also awesome. But the rocks in Skyscraper? And San Andreas. He only has one leg, yes. That's hilarious. Skyscraper is so sick, dude.

Skyscraper is like... I don't know if I've seen Skyscraper. It's like, it's diehard. He's got to get to the top of the building? Yeah, it's diehard in China. Got it. Fuck yeah. Yeah, this is the one with Daddario's in it?

Yeah. No, no, no, that's andreas ah fuck so maybe i haven't seen it then i yo i i i don't know we're at an interesting time in movies i think like it took a long time for people to get it through the thick fucking skulls but superhero movies have not been good since Infinity War. I didn't even know that one was coming out. R.I.P. Tony Stark died today. Yeah, I saw that.

What's coming out? Marvels. In like two weeks? Oh yeah, they've been quiet about that one. Which one? Brie Larson. Brie Larson. I mean, she's the worst. Captain Marvel, she's the worst Captain Marvel she's the worst it's like I hate

to be early November it's October right I think this comes out early November I hate to sound exactly what you know people think of us but like that was a full blown like feminist movement and people just don't fucking want that shit that one I

I thought Captain Marvel stuck. I thought Captain Marvel was as good as any of the other non-main movies, which isn't very good. They're all bad. People were just high off that juice. Drunk off that juice and they would see another one and it would kind of scratch that itch.

But they weren't ready to admit it. All of those movies, all of them stink. I think it's kind of like hindsight. In the moment, I liked all of these movies. I'm not a Marvel guy. I thought Captain Marvel was really bad. I thought Doctor Strange

was bad. Everybody thought Ant-Man was bad. Everybody agreed Ant-Man was bad. I thought everyone liked Ant-Man. I thought Ant-Man was bad. What's that? Everybody agreed Ant-Man was bad. I thought everyone liked Ant-Man. I thought Ant-Man was fine. The second one. I thought the second one was fine. The third one I didn't see, but the second one...

See, I didn't even... Maybe that's... I thought there was only two. And then the Eternals stunk. I mean, they're all bad. They're all bad. Yeah, all those you're saying I haven't seen. I mean, I meant like in the heat, in the Marvel heat.

Yeah. When like those movies are coming out. In retrospect, yeah, they're not great. But I never regretted watching any of them. I was like, that was fine. I think movies and rap music are very similar right now. Where it was kind of like old man yelling out of the cloud opinion at first yeah and then it's like long enough that it's like no man this shit sucks the shit sucks like like i mean drake bombed

with this last album for the most part like doesn't have seven songs yeah but like by drake standards it's like how's that a bomb it's always gonna be a commercial success with drake but he just has so many fans but like rap the rap world was like this you just fucking mailed this shit in like there's no it's just the same exact fucking songs you've been doing forever yeah so they say he's gonna take some time off j cole and and kendrick lamar already like take a lot of time in between projects like if those guys are gone someone said some old school rapper was like they don't want to tell you this but raps down like 60 percent over yeah i mean like it's it's fucking the the genre is like it's disappearing yeah it's gone yeah do you what what is i don't know what that is i was talking about this with trend because

he's a big rap guy what is it about rap that you think like when it comes out almost people not want to hate it but are excited to hate it i don't think it's excited to hate it i think it's uh very high standards more so than other music but every other type of music i listen to i'm just like oh that sounds good rap i judge like an athlete why i don't know i think because rap is kind of like, uh, uh, like a, like battling is such a part of it. And like so much of rap is being the best and rapping the best. And I feel like there's a little bit, uh, there's a little bit more of a tangible way to judge it. Like if you sing and I sing, it's like, you know, But like, you could be like, that was a clever rhyme. More clever than that rhyme. You know what I mean? Yeah. And I think, so there's a little.

Kind of. I mean, you can do that with any music. Yeah, but I think there's more like, it relies more on wordplay, punchlines, metaphors, similes, all that shit. I think. I don't know I absolutely treat it differently than every other type of music I don't care I'll like Ed Sheeran, I'll like Justin Bieber, blah blah blah

I have my guys in rap that I'm like I want to do well and then when other guys do well, I'm like oh fuck it's like a sport to me. When, when, uh, I think I was out to lunch.

I was talking about what Trent did. I think the day after whatever it's called, Drake came out. Yeah. And, uh, I was like, it almost feels like rap fans do what,

like what, what our dads used to do and don't anymore where they're like it's this isn't rock and roll this isn't that this isn't that and like i wonder if it's because the genre is so new that people like it's changing kind of for the first yeah but but it's not it's like it's not it's um it is i mean it's definitely just a different you know like the rap that his generation listens to is like i just don't even consider that the same music. Right. But what you listen to isn't what rap was when it started.

Yeah. me it was very like just like very like rhymey and like uh like a nursery song type shit you know what i mean uh sugar hill gang that shit and then i think when my generation is where it started to get very like more complex and a lot more like every syllable's rhyming and a lot more like i said the punchlines the wordplay and all that and then i think we we went away from that with this this shit is they're always they're always like it's just about the vibe man it's about the vibe yeah and i'm like okay then to me that's like what i think about like pop music it's got some good melody and a good hook okay but i would never in a million years compare that to like a jay-z verse or a naz song or you know when these guys are at like their peak and even when drake does do it well he he's right up there with everybody else and then he just makes

a bunch of songs and i'm just like those couldn't have taken you more than 15 minutes to make dude yeah because i've seen those are the best ones those are what they say are the best songs like the ones that just like that song doesn't take yeah i was reading i think it might have said this already where i was reading uh the article on GQ, on Ed Sheeran, on Ed Sheeran in GQ the other day. And he writes three songs a day. He writes a song with breakfast, a song with morning coffee. That's crazy. Now that, so rap is interesting in that regard too because like, you know, the urban legend about Jay-Z is he's never, he doesn't write his rhymes down.

I think, you know, he does a lot in his head. I think it's, I think people who believe he's never written anything down is crazy but there are accounts of him in the studio just listening to a beat and being like thinking and then being like okay let's do it he doesn't one take so he's like a savant like that I don't think it's necessarily time it's like motivation I think you can only really rap about like rap itself being the best at rapping fucking the most chicks having the most money all that shit for a certain amount of time eventually it's like you know a lot of these guys it was like you were either dealing drugs or in gangs or whatever and then they like transitioned out of that but they had like this whole life of crime to kind of draw upon. And then,

then they made it and they made like pop, like party records and then they would battle and they had battle records. And then it was just like, then what, you know, that's why Jay-Z's album, when he did four 44 is kind of regarded as like one of the only rap albums that was made by like a guy later in life who like was rapping about his

family and, and you know, just culture and all that shit in that regard it is like there's there's so few rappers who are old and and still really like doing it at a high level nas is really i think nas is aging amazingly he has kind of come back he has he's dropped maybe like six albums three three most recent albums with this one producer hit boy and like it's real rap and it's good it's not charting and it's not huge but everybody else is either we're basically retired or it's like this young shit that is just like i mean like they're they're you know guys are canceling tours yeah

there's travis scott tickets for five bucks on on the secondary market and they're like their nose bleeds but like that you know at the peak of your rap career in you know the 90s 2000s 2010s you ain't getting tickets for five dollars anywhere you know and no one's canceling anything it's you know at some point it went from like i i was like i'm just yeah i'm a hater i'm old and like i'm not young anymore and i don't know this shit to like no no not even young people are really fucking with this anymore you know what i mean yeah i think they might say they are but it's like you don't well paths you had that story about when you went to backseat lovers and everyone left after the tiktoks on oh yeah that was crazy i'm a big

backseat lovers fan and they played across the street a couple months ago and wait for the msg no no not not at msg at uh what msg is smaller theater oh yeah that's still huge yeah yeah and um and then i think it's gonna be like hardcore yeah yeah and um and then i get i think it's gonna be like hardcore like fans like uh and then i get there and i'm like i can realize that no one here even knows this band like right away like i'm listening to the first like five songs no one's singing along i'm like this i brought people they didn't even know like it was like in the way but it was sold out and then they played the tiktok song everyone left that's crazy like that and that so that's maybe more every single more

music than just rap but it's like yeah they just recorded and left it was like crazy they just recorded on their phone what tiktok did that sucks so much dude actually insane because even from the drake album like i think there's five good songs on there that i'm like those are great great drake songs but the song with the the guy yeet who's like the t guy, is just number one. It beat the J. Cole song. It beat all the good songs. It's crazy. The J. Cole song is like fucking awesome, and his TikTok song is bigger than that, which I actually think

that's cool that Drake does that. I think hip-hop is very gatekeep-y, and there is an old and young, and usually it's actually the young hating on the old, and they just don't ever really mesh. Now, Drakeke is not old by any means but he is you know been around for a long time and the fact that he puts guys on like that i think is pretty cool but it's so like like the best way i think to describe it is joe budden and and drake went

off on joe budden the other day because i think joe budden like touched a nerve and joe budden is very controversial and he was a rapper now a podcaster and so drake can very easily be like you're you're fucking you're done you don't even do this anymore you know but joe was just like yeah but you'll grow up one day and it i think it drove drake fucking insane because his first comments were like you're just making music for like kids and and that's okay which is a very you know what i mean like he did it in a way that's like that's fine you can just still make you know songs about like you know cheating on girls and like fucking them and like not giving a shit about them like whatever one day you'll grow up and like

maybe make a song of substance you know you know it's exactly what he's doing and then drake releases a fucking paragraph on instagram which some of the things were true and and like hurtful and like oh shit but it's also like there's a reason why you wrote that yeah i think i think you know that that's right i think you know that this album yeah like it's he just hit uh he's tied with michael jackson now for most number one records seven in the top whatever all you know all that shit most streams whatever it's there's just no and even like the song like but it's first person shooters like everyone's like j cole is the best part of that song like even even the stuff that was good is like sometimes it's not him and then but then he

does have songs where it's like do that like fucking do that man that was awesome and it's only like three or four times an album and there's but i i don't think i i i i think again as a non-rap fan i have no problem with what he does like i think everyone in every industry does that yeah well i i do think rap is a little different where it's like if you want to be when people start throwing your name around as like the greatest of all time there are just different rules i think and that's probably not fair but. And he doesn't have to play by them either. He can be like, I want to make a dance record. I want to make an Afrobeats record.

I want to make an R&B album. I don't want to make just a rap album because that will only satisfy one-fourth of my fans. Yeah. Totally get that. But also, in this arena, in this genre, you will then get judged differently. Yeah.

But I was reading about chris evans where he's like i don't know like i liked being captain america but i liked acting in serious movies too yeah where it's like yeah i'm just gonna do the one that gets me a lot of money and i do the one that shows i'm a good actor too but that's what i i think that's the difference is like drake is just doing captain america but you just said he has five songs yeah yeah yeah so he's doing those yes he does it's just it's like individual songs here and there like all he this this album had 23 songs on it there's just no need for that yeah do a fucking 12 album 12 song album and just put out and i i don't even i don't even like necessarily he doesn't have to do anything

he's fucking whatever. But if you – it would be like if somebody was talking shit about my career and I knew I could do what they're saying, I would just fucking do it. You know what I mean? I'd just be like, fucking here you go. Because if you add up over the last couple years – But then you're doing your career for them. Yeah.

I mean, I liken it to winning a championship in basketball. It's like you don't want to have like the patrick ewing charles barkley career it's still awesome but you want to like get that fucking checked off you know and he over the last couple years which most people take a couple years especially later in their career to put out an album he's put out like probably close to 10 like really good songs that if you just put that in an album it'd be done yeah but here's your classic here's your great classic like fucking 10 12 songs no skips great features great hooks straight rap done and then i'd be like now what you know it

just feels like people have been asking for that for a while and everyone kept being like that's this is the one this is the one this is the one and it never really happened and i think you should just fucking do it because he can't it would be one thing it's like yo the dirty little secret is he can't he can't yeah yeah it's just he won't but he's also like because you know this is dumb shit that you know probably mostly male older fans think and he's got young women and he's got people overseas and he's got the biggest fan base probably in the world maybe other than like taylor swift bad bunny bad bunny but even i feel like drake has like overseas more than bad bunny has in america bad bad bunny is the bad bunny's a weird one like i i like to think i'm i'm pretty tapped in at least somewhat.

Can you sing a song? Can you name a song? Nope. I'm sure you could play a song. I go, oh, I've heard that. But no, I cannot. It's very similar to like – I know Ronaldo and Messi and those guys,

but every now and then there's a soccer player name that I'm like, fucking who? And that guy's making like $400 million a year? What? That's Bad Bunny for me. There is something weird about bad bunny that like it doesn't cross over does he does he just does he make english songs or is it all i think i mean he definitely speaks english yeah he dates a jenner and i think he's coming up in a new movie

so he's like i mean he's definitely a that that more than proficient english speaker that might be we're just the old like that's the my oldest. Well, there was a tweet yesterday that was so fucking funny. Where, what was it about? The, oh. Millie Bobby Brown did not consider herself a feminist until her psychic told her she was. Thankfully, a commune with the spiritual realm brought her to the banks of girl bossery. And now she's making a movie about a girl in a dragon pit. And someone replied to it.

This is a screenshot of a tweet. This tweet says, I'm 50. All celebrity news looks like this to me. Curtains for Zusha? Case Morgan, Batboy caught flipping a grunt. Do you think there is a chance that you know, in the grand scheme of things,

in the history of everything, when we say we were at the beginning of something, like the advent of this or that, we were truly at the fucking beginning of the internet. Like the very first fucking time. And I think it probably takes a couple decades for society to really start to react to it. Because it just feels like we can't keep going if there's a case. Like it's just things are getting too stupid.

It's like because of algorithms and because of we just let people decide, it's like people are stupid. Yeah. But I also think like that, yeah, it sucks. Like I thought Calvin Harris had such a cool answer when I asked him. Not Calvin Harris. I'm sorry. Jesus, Diplo.

When I asked him about that where I was like – because he's talking about – I forget what I was asking about. I was talking about something. And he talked about like writing 20 songs in a night but his hit was whatever it was and all that stuff. And he was like yeah man that's just the way it is like you know you let the market decide and like i i i've obviously to an exceptionally lesser extent like all of my favorite out of order sketches have not been your favorite have not been a popular sketch by at all but that then like but those are the ones i thought were the best and like maybe work the hardest on or whatever. And those ones are almost exclusively the Dons.

The ones you did. But they're the ones I think are the best. But I think that's what works. That's why that show works. Either by design or by accident, you have a good blend. You have a weird brain that satisfies you creatively. And then you also know how to give the people the Babcock skit or the whatever skit. I think this one, the most recent one, I think that one was the first one where I was like, this is great, and everyone was like, this is great.

We've talked about this before. But that's – to get it back away from me. I think that's the way it's been forever. But I don't think it has been. I think we talked about this before where there was a time where it was like there was a couple movie studio execs, a couple big acts in music, a couple big acts in movies, whatever. And like they decided what movies were made. And you just had to watch those. That was it.

And now there's just so much access that it's like... It's not even access. It's the decisions are being made by numbers rather than people. And people. And the people, I think, used to be either really into it or eccentric, creative, weird, a little different. And they were like, we're going to make this movie. And it was one of only like a handful that you could watch.

There's only a couple channels. And people learned to like, know just this thing and now it's like we can it's just it's just satisfying we are able to satisfy everybody's most basic needs and wants like yeah just the easiest humor the easiest drama the dumbest whatever and so people are just like i'll just do that you know rather than being like this this guy who was a great producer a great writer a great this a great that you like trusted in a little bit and that was probably a little bit smoke and mirrors those people didn't have the key to everything but they had probably you know a little more knowledge or a little more creativity or a little more talent than what's going on now

but also like i remember the melissa mccarthy saying that like they used to hate suits and she's like i'd kill to argue with a suit now because when you were pitching to suits someone in the room could go i get this i see this numbers let's make this fucking movie yeah you can't you can't make that argument you can't have someone believe in you if it's just numbers right yeah just being like i think the stakes i also i don't i keep saying this on the show over and over again though but i i like algorithms can absolutely be manipulated and or or just fed in a certain way and then it's like look at the numbers it's like i don't fucking know where that came from yeah you know what i mean it's like certain things are kind of

undeniable and they they pop and they're like yes that people generally agree that person is funny talented can sing, whatever. But a lot of this is just like, the fuck do you know about this algorithm? But I also think the stakes are so much lower. Yeah. Because you're not – There's no barrier of entry. There's no – I think everything is –

But you're not trying to be – even when you put on something, 90% of people aren't watching it anyway. So they walk away and go, that was fine. Yeah, you're on your phone or whatever. Like, people don't consume the way they used to. I'm saying all of this, I think we're probably just reaching the first, like, reaction in a way. You know what I mean? Like, wholesale, like societal reaction to all this where it's like,

holy shit, shit has changed. You know what I mean? Like it used to be like, oh, this is good. Like, oh, you don't need the movie studio anymore. That's cool.

Like I was reading about how Taylor Swift just cut out Hollywood for this movie and totally fucked him. Like that's cool. But also some of those things that are kind of

probably corporate evil also in a weird way probably kept things a little more – a little bit of a higher standard or just not as just much garbage. And I mean we – in a way like we're garbage I think. Like we're just kind of an example of like we just kind of just do this shit and people like it. And so we have a career out of it. So I'm being a little hypocritical in that. But I don't know.

Maybe that first wave of like podcasting is kind of like a step down where it's just natural and you don't have to be like super talented. So I think that's cool. You go like two levels below that and it's like, Jesus Christ, this shit sucks. All this shit sucks now. So I don't know where you draw the line. I don't know how you stop it, if you can stop it. I just think everything kind of goes in waves, but I think it takes – there's like short-term waves and long-term waves,

you know, where it's like – I think eventually kids will be like, I don't want to be on my fucking phone, but that might be like two more generations. It might take 100 years, you know? But eventually it'll be like, that sucks. Like, you're on your phone all the time. I think, and this is, you know, I bought a red car, so I'm seeing more red cars. But, like, in actively trying to be off my phone, which I'm, it's actually, it's not active anymore.

I'm not on my phone a lot anymore. I see, and maybe it's because of the people i'm hanging out with or like or also you know hang out with more people who are on their phones less or whatever but like i see it a lot less now and i also notice it being less fun like when you're on your phone you're like i give you on my phone for 10 minutes i'm like this is so fucking boring whereas like i used to spend all the time on it and i know know there's little variations of it in TikTok. I heard about a TikTok where high schoolers had flip phones and stuff like that. And I don't know if that – I didn't even see it.

I think we're probably at the point where cutting-edge mavens or whatever they call it are starting to do that shit again. But the general public is still very much on it. And eventually, I think everybody will. to do that shit again but the general public is still very much on it and eventually i think you know i just think that the that kids see what their parents do and do the inherently think it's lame yeah and if people our age are all on their phones kids are gonna see it and look at it like the way i looked at my dad reading the paper i was like that's fucking yeah i i don't know though there's something about phones that like my kids are like my kids want a phone you know what i mean yeah i think like when you get to maybe your teenage years or something like that but the first wave is like there's videos on there there's yeah and to keep the newspaper thing like i was intrigued as a

child yeah i was like what is that he did like 10 papers a day yeah and i was like you always read the paper yeah and then as i got older i was like hey dude super i'm reading the fucking paper right right like i think I don't know obviously I'm completely guessing and know nothing but I just think that's human nature that you'll see what your parents do and be like that's dumb I think this first wave there was enough

good talent utilizing these things and now those things are lessening the talent that's a difference you know what i mean yeah like a guy like drake like maybe drake's not a good example like somebody who like was and is talented and then you know starts to be like more prolific and just puts everything out and it's over saturation but it's like when that guy started he was like people liked him you know and now it's like why did anybody ever like this person yeah they just

danced or they just they just mouthed the words to a song like what the fuck that i think is the difference where it's like they're at least still used to be talent and i hey i'll use the internet i'll use my phone i'll use social media and now it's like i just am that shit and that i think eventually people will like suss that out a little eventually people are gonna stop throwing away money i think i don't know because but like drake's a good example of like i don't fucking care if these songs are good or not everything goes to number one you know if if the movies are bad but it gets makes money you know but eventually if people are canceling tour dates if movies start to flop if tv shows

don't get renewed like all that shit starts to happen i think eventually they stop being like let's give the money to the tiktoker and let's give the money to the really talented comedian yeah but i think we're still probably a little a little bit further away on that so but it is interesting to live through it because it's like i mean you know if you're talking about hundreds and thousands of years of over time like we're still talking about the last 50 and really like the last 30 really yeah you know that shit is crazy so um we'll see at least we got to get a little bit of money off of it who knows uh should we rip some voicemails yeah let's do it last week on the internet people were debating uh what's a good first date spot there was a girl girl in a car who refused to get out to go to the restaurant because she didn't like the place that the guy chose.

And everyone started debating what is the best date night option. I'm going to throw this out there. Go to the bowling lanes. Bowling is a great time where everybody kind of lets their guard down and acts like a little bit goofy. You have some fun. You have a little bit of competition.

First time, long time for myself, I guess you could say. I have called you guys before and you've used my voicemail, but I was absolutely blackout fucking drunk when I called. Didn't even remember doing it till like a week later, I'm on the way home from work and all of a sudden my voice is coming through my speakers as I'm listening to your show and I was so fucking confused. So I guess in my own mind, first time. Anyways, guys, just have a quick hypothetical for you so heard this yesterday immediately thought you guys had to call the show um it would you take generational wealth you know you could quadruple your salary as of tomorrow if your only consequence was every night when you went to bed until the day you retire so 20 to 30 years from now every single night when you go to bed you

have the worst nightmares imaginable i mean wake up out of a dead sleep in a sweat type nightmares. Would you do that? Hell no. I don't know which way I'd go. I just can't imagine being afraid to go to bed every night, but the money sounds pretty good. Bro. Quick sidebar too, guys.

I'm here in Pittsburgh, so I'll be at the show on Friday. Really looking forward to it. I was listening to your most recent episode where Kevin was talking about relationships and how people never know when to it. I was listening to your most recent episode where Kevin was talking about relationships and how people never know when to leave. Well, my girlfriend of five years just recently left me, so she knew when she wanted to fucking leave. And get out of here.

So do I go to the show solo dolo? We already have to take a photo. Oh, hell yeah. Or do I take a buddy from work that I'm barely friends with? No, no, no. So that way I'm not sitting there looking like an asshole. Now come solo. Appreciate it. Looking forward to Friday. V that way I'm not sitting there looking like an asshole. No, come solo. You're the best, guys. Appreciate it. Looking forward to Friday. Viva.

Come solo. You'll be our personal guest. We'll make sure you have a good time. Fuck that chick. I'm telling you, as someone who recently got money but is having trouble at night, it is not worth it. I like nightmares. I don't think you know what nightmares are if you like them.

I think – Because I just learned what nightmares really are. Like I've had like bad dreams and then recently I had nightmares where it's like I was fucking – I woke up like – If you're having a dream where you can't breathe, does that mean you're not breathing in real life? I don't know. I feel like that means i almost like died in my sleep like gasping for air constantly and i feel like that means like kind of like when you have to pee like if you have a dream about peeing the bed you pee the bed sort of thing you know what i mean uh yes anyway i think i'm dying in my sleep and i think that these these new nightmares are kind

of like more on the side of night terrors and that shit is fucking ridiculous i i i don't get dreams that much obviously so like i always remember the nightmares when i have them and it's nice to have something just because you can feel and also i have a hard time getting up i have a hard time waking up in the morning if i have a nightmare no i don't i'm up oh okay okay okay i do get that i i just like i used to always love going to bed at night and now i do not that sucks that's been a pretty recent thing for you yeah yeah it's it's like some nightmare on elm street shit freddy krueger shit like that's why that movie's so good is because nobody can escape sleep yeah and every night i'm like fucking here we go again man here we fucking go again it sucks so bad it is brutal and like my money's just you know just like sitting there now it's like i don't know i maybe i need to do more shit with my money i don't know i guess the uh what do you call it like i guess Gone to my head I'd say no

But that's because I just don't really know what it's like Also generational wealth is different than four times your salary Four times your salary is like you're making a lot of money Generational wealth is like Your grandkids You can't blow it Like when your kids have kids you go I got college Yeah

So those are two different things Generational I might consider it like uh you know big big raise i don't think so yeah the uh the like i i didn't realize it until probably until i moved into my current apartment and it was like the first time i've and even this it's not a home by any stretch of the imagination but i'm not i don't dread going home. I'm not like, fuck. And you used to? Yeah. Because I never had a nice apartment.

And again, my apartment's not nice, but it's mine. And I never had that. And there's a humongous difference in just being like, I'm home and I'm in my own space now. Yeah. And that is what bed is. Yeah. And that is what your sleep is.

And if you don't have that, that's probably – again, I'm kind of jokingly saying yes, I take it because I don't really know what the evil is. But I guess if that's the case, if you're like in bed being like, fuck, here we go, I would not take that. Yeah, it sucks, dude. And it's like there's just – there's certain're in bed being like, fuck, here we go, I would not take that. It sucks, dude. And it's like there's certain things in my life that, I pay rent today. Fuck. 17. Don't let me leave this room right now without writing my check. Fucking just do it right now.

Okay. I feel like anxiety is relatively new in my life. One of those things, again, that I thought I knew what anxiety was, where it's just like, oh, you get nervous sometimes. It's like, no, no, no, no, no. Anxiety is like when I now I know what anxiety is. And that fucking sucks so much dick, dude. And I can't tell whether that is just something that happens in life or if I mean, I think I have some pretty unique circumstances in my life right now that are like that's what's causing it but those also are not going away anytime soon so I'm like this is just life now and that you know what yo you know what did you read that article or any of

the tweets about um Shams Shams I don't know his name Shams Karania the NBA insider? I saw he makes like $600,000 a year in ESPN but makes money at other places too. Bro, I don't care if that guy makes $600 million a year. I would not trade lives with that guy ever. Why? Dude, I'm going to read this to you. You're going to puke. You of all people, you're going to fucking hate this, man. It is, I mean, just the worst life imaginable if you ask me

uh when i asked people who work in the nba what it's like to have charania chase them for a scoop especially earlier in his career they described it as an experience somewhere between irritating and a pain in the ass he was calling all the time like non-stop to get any little morsel of information jerry colangelo said it was like being doxxed except that all the calls were coming from a single person he'll text you 20 times in an hour to a point where he wears guys down and you just want him to fucking leave you alone uh a current executive told him he gets a happy father's day text um he a third guy said that he once wished him happy labor day like he'll he just has any any angle to text somebody he says he sends 500 text messages a day he uh there was a couple other other like stats from it let me find it

he sends 500 emails or texts a day puts in 18 hour days uh doesn't he used to play pickup basketball he once missed a significant coaching update so he just stopped playing basketball so he just like doesn't do the stuff he loves anymore and he just texts people 500 times a day being like hey man what's up what are you doing what are you what's going on what's going on i not for all the money in the world not for all the money i swear to god 600 million dollars if i was known as the guy that that jerry colangelo was like i just want you to fucking go away to everybody in the league of like the sport that you presumably love like you like basketball so that's why you got into it and everybody now hates you also you can tweet that like so and so got four years 200 million dollars who fucking cares yeah like that is i i

can't actually believe that i can i can understand in the beginning why woj and schefter and those guys were like important but now it's like give a fuck like you used to kind of follow this guy because you would get it first and now it's like i get it over here 13 seconds before i get it over here yeah who the fuck gives a shit about that that is never in my life would i ever do that it's a that's a That's a nightmare. I mean, I get nervous texting people. Like once. Anything at all, let alone happy Labor Day. Happy Labor Day. So, you know, have you made a decision about your life?

You want to tell me, a total stranger on the internet? Why does anybody? I guess people just say, like, fine, I'm going to the Bucs. Fucking tweet it out. Goodbye. Who cares? That is an ugly life dude that's and you know that like you know he would like backstab a friend to get a tweet off yeah yeah he would he would step on someone's fucking

neck if it meant that he could get a scoop to put on twitter which is that's a sad life no i'm not even like knocking that guy personally because what i'm just saying like people who do that that's crazy you're wired different different. Yeah, for sure. Maybe you love it, so good for you. But holy shit, that sounds awful. Yeah, if I was a different person, sure, I'd do that. But I'm not, and I'm okay. I think most people are probably like me, not like that.

So it's like built different. Yeah, I guess so. Fucking psychopath. All right, go ahead. What's going on? KFC Radio Gang. You know, Jackie pabbs fights kfc obviously um so i got a story that leads into a question again um so kind of last

it would have been thursday of this week before the long weekend kind of started. I had a Popsicles moment, which if you don't remember the one-off segment that you guys did of Feidelberg missing obvious signs, I had a Popsicles moment. I thought you were seeing Popsicles. I was like, oh, yeah. Essentially, the short version of events was I was walking out of my apartment and this good-looking gal who lives in my apartment building was walking in to use the steps right by my apartment and recognized me from the voicemail that I had done about my dead dog. And she said, oh my god, you were on KFC a couple episodes ago. And I was like, you watch KFC a couple like episodes ago and I was like you watch KFC radio and she was like yeah I watch it at work when nothing's going on I just watch it in the background and I was just like oh okay

cool like thinking nothing of it and my main focus was I had like my bag in my hand and I was ready to go do my three-hour schlep home from my apartment to like my home home and all I'm thinking about is just like traffic traffic traffic because like the DC area is just horrible with traffic and I try to get out of my apartment as soon as I can whenever I'm going home for the weekend especially a long weekend so I basically was just completely oblivious and I'm thinking back on the conversation now, and this girl was just like, oh, yeah, I'm sorry about your dog, but I have a dog, and maybe you can go on a walk with me sometime, and we can walk the dog together. completely like was oblivious or socially blind as i put it in my last voicemail um and i just wanted to see like my question is in a perfect world if you could have like an app or like i don't know like basically a subscription service where you could pay on a month-to-month basis

to basically tell you when you're missing signs or when you're being oblivious or that would be great socially and be like yo dummy like she's trying to hit on you or yo, dummy, you know, like this is what you should be doing. Would you pay for it on the month to month? Like, would you do that? Would that be something you're willing to buy? It's like the easy button, but like for, you know, like, you're missing it. Like, go get her. I think, first of all, this is great because she'll either see this.

This guy's golden. Yeah. Because she'll, first of all, that probably worked. She probably was like, this guy just big time shit. This guy is a, he's a, you know, he's a big dog. Or she'll see this. You're good. You're fine. You will have your second chance with this girl.

I think a little Spidey sense, a little zap in your pocket, like you're fucking this up, would be great. I disagree. Really? I wouldn't take it if it was free. Really? Yeah. You don't even want to course correct? You just want to go?

I think that's the fun of it. I think I'm going to miss 99% of your signs. That's just a fact. I'm going to miss. Wait, are you talking about specifically when it comes to male-female courting, or are you just missing signs in life? I think all of it. Business, all that shit.

I think all of it. I think probably I'd hate it even more if it was business. I think courting, I'm like. There is some fun to that. I like... It is also like, I wish I wasn't this way, but I just genuinely am. If I know you like me, it turns me off. Like, it is... Because then I feel like I'm the prey, and I feel pursued, and I don't like that.

It is... You are impossible. You really are. The... had like we talked about it before like girls like oh no i just like that because you like it i'm like that but that's different than liking you tricked me um yeah liking things that someone else likes just because they like it is stupid but the but but then there's also there's a romanticism to liking what your partner likes to feel closer to them all that stuff but the if it was if i had just someone being like dude or or i think the app was lying to me like fucking you're an idiot

yeah you don't know what you're talking about yeah because i've had friends like dude she's like she's into you you're dumb yeah but the i i don't know i i like – I think it could be cool to just – it would have to be like so – this is like minority report shit. It would have to be like spot on and give you enough time. If it's just going to let me know like in the moment like as that girl is walking away, you blew it. Like I don't need that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I need something that somehow can see the future and just gives you – doesn't even give you what to say or do almost just i'll call the app costanza and it's just like do the opposite of what you're about to

do like like in your pocket and it's like whatever you were about to say do the the polar opposite of that and i think okay sounds good that i i could fuck with that that's like uh because if you bring it down that app's almost like the black mirror episode, Hang the DJ, where they have the app that tells them when to break up and they have to. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, this is a match. It's like, I don't want that. Not anymore. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It would have been, but now you told me that. That's a great episode. It's probably my favorite Black Mirror episode. Yeah, that's a great episode of television. But yeah, it does get a little Black Mirror-y, Twilight Zone-y. But it's like, does that app take into account that you're getting told? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It would have to be literal magic in order for that to work.

Do you have that, Jackie? Are you ever hitting on a guy and you're like, how is he not picking up on this? Or flirting with a guy and you're like how is he not picking up on this um flirting with a guy or i i i'm i'm like you where i i like won't even like i i'm the opposite but like i won't be my way of flirting is like making eye contact with them so it's like obviously they're not gonna pick up on it i guess the i think i think when like, I was thinking about that girl where she's probably like, how did that guy? I mean, I come for a dog, walk my dog. If you miss that, that's crazy.

But at the same time, women spend most of their day being like, guys are so dumb. And then we do something dumb and they're like, I can't believe you're doing this. It's obvious. And that is very heavy handed. A lot of times it's like, he didn't notice that I walked by him on the way to the bathroom. It's like, what the fuck? Yeah, I feel like it's mostly a guy-to-girl thing, but I'm sure there are girls. Girls usually think about it right away and are like, not interested.

That's enough. Yeah, yeah. I think when it is reversed, though, it's probably mind-blowing. When a girl is throwing it out there and some dude's like, I got it. There's a lot of red lights. I got to go. And she's like, what the fuck? Do you understand how far Lancaster, Pennsylvania? Yeah, yeah.

What I'm trying to say is exactly that, though. Is it Landover, Maryland? Yeah. Virginia? That is going to blow a lot of chicks' minds. សូវាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប� Thank you.
