Girls are like, this guy is the sweetest guy in the whole world.
Oh, Chicago.
Presenting sponsor of the day, Kentucky Fried Chicken.
John, let me ask you something.
Do you like fried chicken?
Oh, mama do I love fried chicken.
Do you like melty cheese?
Woo!
Baby, do I like melty cheese.
Do you like pepperoni? That's my favorite of like melty cheese? Do you like pepperoni?
That's my favorite of the three.
What if I put that all together?
Come on.
And I gave you the KFC pizza.
You couldn't do it.
The chicken pizza is here.
Someone would step in and stop you.
Nobody could.
Nobody's stopping me.
I don't believe it.
It almost feels like the government should step in.
It almost feels like this is unfair to the rest of the food world.
Cheats is going to put everyone outside of business.
Why has no one thought of the cheats before?
Chicken?
Check.
Cheese?
Check.
Pepperoni?
Check.
Get out of here.
What?
Have you had cheats here the whole time?
Bro.
Cheats.
Give me a cheats.
I've already eaten three meals today.
It's noon.
I don't care.
I want a cheats.
Bro.
Let me wash my white pants.
Excuse me.
Really good.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Hang on.
Hang on.
That's really good, guys.
Hang on a second.
The government needs to step in.
This is... Damn, dude.
I mean, I've already eaten so much today.
I have to do a combine in a minute.
This is so good.
Bro, you know when, like,
the government steps in to, like, stop,
like, monopolies?
Like, you guys can't get together.
That's too much.
That's this.
That's fried chicken coming together
with cheese and pepperoni.
Like, some things are just, you know, too powerful.
This is like Thanos getting the final Infinity Stone.
That's crazy good.
That's crazy good.
That's what's up.
Yeah.
It's just take pizza, remove the bread, put in the fried chicken,
and once again, you get everything you need in one shot.
Just like the smashed potato bowl.
You eat a pizza, you get your carbs, you get your dairy,
you get your meat, you get your protein, your chicken.
Whole meal right in your hand.
Boom.
I got the whole meal in my hand.
I got the whole meal in my hand.
I got the whole meal in my hand.
I got the whole meal in my hand.
Thank you and good night.
We've got a big episode for you today.
We are currently live at the Barstool Combine,
which is always kind of a staple, if you ask me,
of the Barstool cinematic universe.
Yeah.
But on the back half, we got Drewski,
who is a guy I have been chasing down since probably
2020 um so almost five years i've been trying to get druski on the show meaning five years ago i
tried and i and since then i've been saying damn i really wish truski came on the show that's my
that's my definition of chasing people down uh but just the i just love when we get like a funny
black guy on and it's just us two goofy
white guys and it's about that like like like we make we make light of it it's very funny him
making fun of us for not knowing shit and uh he has some very very funny moments really smart dude
uh really funny guy so that's a big interview but the the combine is here my heat has already gone and i would like to formally announce
my retirement you're done put the jersey in the rafters i am officially retiring from barcelona
combines i am uh they're only like every four years like presidential elections they are so
but i mean i think me and dan and you no not even. Me and Dan are the only three-time combine competitors.
And I am officially retiring.
Wow. Once I saw Dave wasn't
here, I was like, you've got to be fucking kidding me.
I didn't even think to talk to him.
Dave can't do combines or anything.
Dave doesn't have shoulders.
He says that where he's like, I have bad
shoulders. Dave, they're like,
physically, he's built like a tent it's crazy it's just it just goes like waist to head
tp 40 they call them
tp 40 yeah that is true um uh i'm not far behind him on the shoulder front and the pinched nerve front
and uh and the neck and everything uh haven't worked out in so many years so uh i'm a 40 i
felt like uh i felt like uh was it mike gundy yes i'm 40 but in a bad way i was like i'm 40 uh and so you know the first combine was legendary uh second combine
was a little more corporate this one we're kind of back to to you know back to basics but with
all the bells and whistles of chicago so it's fun but i uh i hereby bow out uh the best ability
best ability is availability i will no longer be available i was available for the first three uh again you know that first one uh will be talked about you
know until the day that barstool ends uh i'm happy to have been around for everybody to uh
you know laugh at at my broken body and my lack of athleticism but uh i'm gonna ride off into the
sunset put the jersey in the rafters i actually do have a shirt welker made a one-of-one shirt
that has like a crest and it says the best ability is availability uh and i'm just i'm sad but it's
bittersweet i'm sad but i'm happy to report I will no longer be available. That's a sad moment.
Especially if it's four more years.
So, like, the next one, I'll be dead.
I don't think Dave did the last one
either, now that we're talking about it.
He was there. He commented with
McShay, I think. Bullshit.
See, it's such bullshit. This is what I
fucking hate, is like, as soon as something
is like, Dave's like, well, I can't
do that, or I'm gonna look bad doing that, he just't do it yeah i i could be misremembering but i'm i'm
pretty fucking sure that he did not participate he just commentated so once i heard he was not here
i legitimately i mean i i knew right off the bat i was not even going to attempt the bench because
i will my shoulder will rip out from that so i was
like i'm already skipping one of the four events i basically like and i don't want to be the guy who
doesn't try that's not cool but i also i'm like i'm not tearing something or something for for
just to be on camera for like 15 minutes so you know i was like i don't even i shouldn't even be
here and then i heard portland wasn't here i was like i really shouldn't be here i didn't even know it was an option to skip out and then i saw the reaction to ben mince
who skipped today's combine to be in a poker event um and now dave portnoy has said that the winner of the combine gets mincy's winnings from the poker tournament he's in
mincy's currently already in the money i think i heard from like 10 to 15 grand but he had 34
percent of the chips on the table he's in a good spot so if he like if he makes a run gets the
final table however this tournament is done,
somebody might win like $100,000 from the Barstool Combine.
Yeah, I think Menzies stands to win $125,000.
I don't know how that works.
There's no chance I win the Barstool Combine, but if I were to win,
which I think it'll be Will, obviously.
I think KB, PFT is one of the ones.
Actually, I don't want to spoil anything for my heat,
but there's a guy in my group that is very good.
Oh.
Newcomer that I don't think people were thinking about. Nicky Smokes.
Yeah.
France.
I was thinking about the other.
I forgot.
I was just thinking about my group.
Nicky Smokes is 24.
But what you're forgetting is that the final is a Wunderlich.
So he's out.
The final is a Barstool Wlick written by nick nick yeah that might
be a house of horrors yeah who fucking knows what what nick terani can come up with in his brain
for some sort of uh you know intelligence test for barstool sports get out of here but you're
right that's gonna be he might he might get to the to the final with like a you know 50 point lead
blow it on the wonderlick but if you you win, particularly if you're Will Compton, but if
you're pretty much anyone,
a couple people I think deserve
and everyone deserves
it, but I mean, don't
already have millions of dollars.
I think
you can't
legally
If Dave's like, Mincy, give
Will your money. Will's gotta be like, no. Well, okay., Mincy, give Will your money.
Will's got to be like,
no.
Well, okay.
There's a couple things at play here.
Can Dave Portnoy force you
to give up your earnings
from out of work,
an out of work event,
to another coworker?
The answer is probably legally no.
Can Dave Portnoy just fire you
for not showing up at this event?
Absolutely.
So then we run into the question, will Mincy give up that money to keep his job?
Investment in your future.
What would the number have to be?
Put yourself in Mincy's shoes.
Because for us, the number would have to be pretty big.
Because we have a career here and earning potential.
If you're Mincy, how much money do you have to win at that poker tournament
to walk away from Barstool to keep that money?
It's not what's available.
I think 125 is the highest. Yeah, and I think you've got to go seven money. It's not what's available. I think 125 is the highest.
Yeah, and I think you've got to go seven figures.
Seven?
I think so.
I think that's one of those things in your head,
you say seven, but if it was $750,000,
you think he's going to give it up?
Yeah.
$800,000, $900,000.
Bro, but again, we're cutting it in half right away.
John loves his taxes. John loves his taxes.
John loves his taxes.
And so you're cutting it in half.
And then like...
All right, 450, let's call it.
So then you're looking at, what, three and a half years of Mincy's salary?
Who knows?
With Mincy, it might be one year.
Yeah.
Who knows in this goddamn place?
So that would be a poor investment.
You're right.
You're right.
As far as I know, it's investing.
Now, the other side of things, again, Dave can't legally force you to do anything, but he can be like, here's the deal.
You're fired if not.
But does that then create, are there going to be hit pieces?
Is it going to be a shitstorm for Dave?
If he basically uses intimidation tactics to bully an employee into giving up his earnings?
Because you can get in trouble for missing a work event.
But you know what I mean?
But also, this is a privately run company.
You can do whatever the fuck you want.
Totally.
Well, that's a good question.
I always wondered that when Dave bought it back and people kept saying that.
It's just his company now.
I still think there's better business bureau and osha and stuff which obviously
you can't break laws but something like intimidating your employees like that who's gonna
fucking like a like a judge can can be like dave portnoy is not allowed to make mincy feel
uncomfortable at work it is that's the whole point of Mincy. Yeah. That would be a great legal case.
Dave and his lawyers being like, your honor, his entire existence is like me intimidating
him because he fucks things up.
He also, it's a little different when you are already here on a get out of jail free
card. You know, he kind of hooked it up you had
you had an error granted that he really shouldn't have been fired for that but like he was and
and then he came back under you know under the the new regime but um
i mean mincy will will probably mince you know you know mincy well it was just stupid you know
i just shouldn't have done it.
And Dave, I would give up all the money for you.
It could be seven figures.
It could be $10 million.
I would give it up because I love Barstool so much.
But I'll tell you the vibe in line at the Combine changed significantly
when all of a sudden we heard that there was Mincy gambling on the line because it's a lot of money.
And I think it's also just –
Okay, so that was the other part of it, as you said, though.
There's the Dave and can he do it?
And then there's the winner.
I would definitely feel weird,
and I would not like taking someone's money like that.
Yeah, I don't think you can.
I think Dave will probably make it right in the sense that he'll give his money.
But Dave will find a way to get you what he gets.
Here's what I think will happen.
Dave will pay you $50,000, and then Mincy has to donate his winnings to the Miss Peaches dog.
Yeah, there will be some financial finagling i i think he will legitimately
make him donate it to that dog fund that would make sense like it's it's the flavor of the moment
right now we'll talk about miss peaches in a moment uh people love the dog thing so even if
you you know it's like even if you are on mincy's side or you don't like dave it's like well i don't
know this guy fucked up at work the money's going to a good cause look you know yeah everybody wins in the end except for mincey but he gets to keep his job
so everybody wins i i bet you the biggest loser could still be will compton if he doesn't win this
yo there has never been a worse situation for someone to be in he has nothing to gain and
everything to lose and i think this is a real thing i've been
saying this a lot i went on uh wfan the other day we could talk about that in a minute too
and i was talking to geo who's the local uh morning show sports radio guy here in new york
and i'm saying how one of the things i want to do later in my career is consult pr consultant
for either individual athletes or teams franchises on on how to run things with their career.
Will Compton should not have done this.
Will Compton, much like
Jared the Rocket Karabas should have
never picked up the ball during the
Cyber Monday a couple years ago to see who could throw
the hardest. Jared, let me tell you a little tale.
The Rocket had
one time stepped up at a
speedball challenge,
threw it like 80-something, low
80s, something like that. I don't remember. It was like
83 miles an hour. He beat
White Sox Dave, another fellow guy here
at the company who can throw hard. He was
the champion. 80-something miles
an hour, beat Dave, and was
like, I am the Rocket. I can throw harder
than anyone at Barstool.
I think we all kind of knew that was like a little fluke or his best throw ever.
I don't know.
Maybe the stars aligned that day for Rocket.
I remember being like, I don't think he consistently throws that hard.
Along comes Cyber Monday.
It's time for him to back it up again.
And he steps up and he throws like 71.
And White Sox Dave, like light work, like barely winds up, throws like 90 or some shit.
And the Rocket, Dave immediately was like, you can no longer call yourself the Rocket.
Like not only did you lose, like your nickname is gone.
And I remember him saying, I would have never touched that ball.
I would have said, I'm the champ.
I already did this.
I don't have anything to prove.
I don't need to do this again.
Let the peasants play for second place.
Now, granted, that's Dave.
And again, he can do whatever he wants.
He can check out of these things if he doesn't want to.
But there's something to be said for finding a way out of the no-win situations.
Will Compton should have said, I'll be the broadcast.
I thought that's what he was doing.
I thought he was going to do like,
I'll be the ref.
Play Harvard.
I'll be the,
I'm going to consult all the guys.
Like we have another guy here
who's like in great shape
who would fucking dominate all of us.
So he's just like helping, you know.
Will Compton needs to come in here
and be like,
I'm from the NFL.
I would dust all of you clowns.
So I'm not going to be competing today
because if Will Compton loses...
He is so...
I've been telling you, we're in the same group,
so I've been kind of watching with him for a lot of it.
And he...
There's so much training and so much
knowledge that goes into just doing these
events. It's not
even just physical ability. It's like...
If you have the same
physical ability as will he's got a humongous leg up because he knows what like how to jump off the
block on the 40 how to how to plant your feet and jump like that correct how to how to bench press
for for like that many reps oh there was i felt so bad on the bench press there's two types of people there is marty mush who has nine foot arms and no
chest yeah his bar is going 12 feet up and down you know and then like white socks dave was like
because he's tiny arms big chest and he barely has to touch it so yeah there's there's a lot
of different uh techniques and and everybody here knows none of them. Right. And Will, you'd think at least, you know,
can he conjure some of that up 10 years later?
I'm sure he can.
But, you know, he's got the back problem.
He was worried about, you know, any impact.
The throwing thing is kind of a fluke.
It's a little dicey where all of a sudden
you know even if will come you know even if he doesn't blow people out it's gonna be like
you played in the nfl and year 10 was last year nikki smokes beat you or whatever so that is uh
at all time you should have checked out you should have been involved in another way maybe you know uh
do something with the winner afterward i don't know whatever because boy does that is that a
bad look also you want to know the worst look of all trevor bauer might need to retire from baseball
trevor bauer put out first of all he cucked marty hard what happened he put out the
video oh so marty went and did a uh i i was i was very pulled back so i thought i didn't think it
was out or anything like that well yeah so marty is putting out this video actually let me just uh
so we got i just figured i figured we'll get marty in here and no better chair for him than the king's
throne here uh we were just
talking about Will Compton who has nothing to gain and everything to lose in the in the combine I
said you want to talk about nothing to gain everything to lose Trevor Bauer agreed to do
this challenge with Marty called me out called you out yeah was so Marty i also i just retired from combines by the way it's good for you you know what good
for you uh i also um i am retiring for something else i am retiring from ever doubting marty mush
ever again thank you very much and i was i had probably the biggest mouth of all i said marty
set out to do this challenge i'm going to face a hundred. I'm going to do 100 Major League at-bats, go down to spring training, find these guys.
How many hits do you think I'm going to get?
And I was laughing.
I said, you're not going to make contact.
And I did this already.
I did this every time with Mush Madness back in the Corona.
Every time he did a trick shot, I was like, that's going to take you 100 hours, 20 throws, done.
And I should have learned my lesson then, but I said, this is different.
This is Major League pitching.
You're never going to get a hit.
Marty steps up.
Trevor Bauer.
First hit in four at-bats?
Two at-bats?
Second at-bat.
Second at-bat, Marty gets a hit against Trevor Bauer.
I didn't know it was the second at-bat.
95.
Bro, Trevor.
I was pretty close to Kevin, if not even worse than Kevin.
I don't know what I said you were going to hit, but I think.
I said zero, so I can't get much worse.
You said zero.
I said zero, too.
Yeah.
And I was like, I went to the Jackals.
I went to the Jackals game.
And you were on it.
You followed one back, I think, right?
And I was still like, but even that, there's such a leap.
I didn't think.
I didn't have any faith
in you either
and make no mistake
this was not like
he's just like
long toss
just like let me
throw you some pitches
he said
Trevor Bauer
not only was he like
you know
he was like
throwing 95 and shit
he said he wouldn't
talk to him
he was giving him
like he was like
I'm gonna give you
my full
physical
mental
and emotional
like performance
second at bat he gets a hit we're gonna have our own video version coming out I'm going to give you my full physical, mental, and emotional performance.
Second that bad, he gets a hit.
We're going to have our own video version coming out because it has a lot of before.
So I walk in, and he is blasting screamo music.
Blasting.
And I was like, what the fuck is going on?
Dana's freaking out.
He doesn't do good in those situations.
He said hello quick, and then got straight back we did not like banter before it like we didn't be like hey thanks for doing this
nothing just he's screaming at things he's throwing against the wall going fucking berserk
and then he's got his minions and his fucking goons coming up to me being like do you last
me like a what and they were like you're
fucked buddy like and they're like all on his side like trainers and shit you know it's like
they have this their own little like it's called momentum i think they're like their own content
people that will do stuff yeah i don't know they were all coming up it made me feel weirdly calmer
because like this is weird you got your dorks and they're like do you want to warm up you should
probably warm up like no i'm good. Let's get in there.
Take these cuts. And the first at-bat I grounded
out and he got angry. But the bat, you made
contact. Yeah, and then the second at-bat I
just fucking roped one.
And it's a simulator
so like you turn to the TV
and it's like this ball would have like dropped into the outfield.
It wasn't like a, oh, I would have caught that. No, I
wouldn't have. It's like a golf simulator. It shows
you that would have been a base knock.
And more than that, the crack of the bat on that one.
Yeah.
You're in like an indoor thing, but it's like echoing.
It was like, yo, that was good wood on a 95-mile-an-hour Major League pitch.
Trevor Brown was doing the fucking thing to him, and Marty's doing it right back.
So what did Trevor do?
He put the video out.
So he put the video out.
So yeah, then there's the other side of this.
It's actually kind of interesting
as a content conversation
about what to do.
we had the conversation
because I was like,
hey,
I'm doing this series
because I did it with
three other pitchers before him.
He was my last one
and I was like,
I would like to put this out
but then he's like,
his editor's like,
hey,
we're just going to put it out
the 24th or whatever
and I was like,
I don't know if it's done.
He didn't fuck me he he did he didn't
fuck me because he did say it but like i was can we technically use their footage like because it
was their facility yeah yeah but i guess i get that like they did you they're like we'll be a
part of this you can use the facility and all that but if it was like a one-off if it was just
one time you guys both filmed yeah he had his vlog cameras you guys are both just doing you know a mutual
event but like you're doing my series bro i have three other things that we're editing though he
does this shit with the other guy there like they face each other all the time and he's like a
retired minor league player or whatever so it's like it was a weird situation again all right all
right so that's a little like 50 50 so they do that content they're like the only one that kind
of does this type of content anyway but you're putting yours out like this will be out tomorrow.
Yours is coming out this week.
Yeah.
So the first picture I'm putting out is Wednesday.
So like –
I think there's a chance it helps build like the interest.
Yeah.
But it's a whole thing.
Because his –
You put out like a 10-minute.
It's like the whole of at-bat.
Yeah, but his –
But I guess you've watched the other people.
Yeah, I meant the rest of the season.
Yeah, the other one is because there's still other stuff that happened with those.
It's really funny.
But his side was him breaking down pitches like baseball nerd shit.
Like, I should have thrown this.
He was breaking it down like I was Shohei Otani.
It was crazy.
And all the comments were like, are you sure you want to put this out?
Because you're trying to sign with a team and Marty Mush just got two hits.
Bro.
He was commenting back to people. There's one thing i've learned like perception
matters like yeah you know you could baseball is a silly sport it's a fluke if let's say trevor
bauer everything else is on point he's physically ready mentally ready your team needs a pitcher
like all that can be true but you know there's some money ball shit going on there's some guys in the room going he was giving up base knocks to that dude that bar that i think actually might
get into throwing some gross shit like some of those curve balls and like he he wasn't just
throwing fastballs either they were he has six pitches do six different pitches so maybe the
question is not trevor bauer the question is give marty a fucking contract this is what everyone's
saying like oh mart Marty got two hits.
Anyway, he must be washed.
I was like,
I honestly think
I'm just good at baseball.
Like, I think I might just be good.
Because then you'll see
the rest of the series,
like, I'm not going to spoil it,
but like,
all the guys
were definitely surprised.
Yeah.
Were surprised.
Well, so what do you think it is?
Is it you're,
you're not like fat. You're not, like, it's not like you look at Marty it you're not, like, fat?
It's not like you look at Marty and you're like, he's not an athlete.
You're a little bit lanky, so it's not like you expect to be, like.
It doesn't look good.
Maybe it's when you talk you sound stupid and stuff.
It's 100% the talk.
Yeah, it's the talk.
We can all agree.
Like, talking doesn't matter.
You know what I mean?
Don't get me wrong.
I'm not a good talker either.
I don't like, I think my voice ruins things.
I think it's a different level.
Our jobs are our voice.
But still, that's kind of why people also listen a little bit.
But how many other people in the world have you been like,
that guy sounds dumb.
He's probably not a good athlete.
Yeah, they all are usually pretty dumb too.
Yeah.
I like my athletes stupid.
Yeah, because I've got so many. Even some people are like, oh, he's not even in the major leagues.
Like, bro, this guy won the Cy Young.
Yeah.
Like three years ago.
Right.
Like, let's slow it down.
He played last year in Japan.
I was going to say, he was playing professional baseball somewhere.
That's one of those things like at age 50, I would still be like, he's going to gas Marty.
He's a fucking professional pitcher and we have the next three is uh the opening day star for the a's uh guy on the red socks who just got trading that
verdugo trade oh yeah and then uh kyle for forgot you're oh jordan montgomery and then kyle freeland
who's been around for a little bit i mean and and you know again no spoilers but i'll just say i was
wrong about Martin.
It's kind of crazy.
Crazy.
Like, do you think other pitchers will be like, I need to do this now? Or do you think they're kind of like, I'm not doing this.
I was hoping, again, PR point of view, if I'm some of these guys' reps,
again, you have nothing to gain, everything to lose.
You know what it is?
It's like your boy.
It's very Jake Paul-esque.
Yeah.
Where it's like, what I want to happen is a prime boxer to step up and be like this is what happens when you fight a real boxer
currently at his peak and he gets worked but those guys are like what if uh catches you on the jaw
and you just go down you have nothing to gain everything to lose but what i hope for you is
that i want like you know i was gonna say deGrom I don't even know where he's at
with his fucking arm anymore but I want
Garrett Cole to be like
I'm better than all these people
and then imagine Marty gets at bats against like a real
that kind of happened with the
hockey challenge
but that was that they had plenty
the athletes had plenty to fall back on there
where you're like it's roller hockey
we're a hundred feet away totally and it's like that wasn't the goalie challenge like a shot from far
away it wasn't like it was a breakaway or anything like this is like they're trying because every
pitcher was like i tried my hardest because i did not want to give up a hit right they're all like
one guy literally was like hopefully i don't see that in spring training.
It's crazy.
But it was so cool, to be honest.
Like, the fastest I saw was 96.
That's fucking insane.
Bro, I went to the batting cages, I don't know, like a year ago.
And it was on, like, medium.
So I don't even know what the miles per hour was.
And even that that i was like
i don't remember a medium batting cage being that fast when i was a kid i so i can't even imagine
movement at 95 is fucking nuts but you you you agree with this you keep expectations so low
you become like a make-a-wish kid and they're like oh good job you know like that's that
you know john hey john you
know tell me that what was all that hey you always tell me that you dumb asshole you get this right
you always say keep the expectations low so when you do something you big dumb baby yeah you said
that so and so you get this brother that you're a fat idiot right that's on purpose isn't it when you were when i was saying it you were not laughing
that's fucking great yeah that that's the mantra dude and everything in life whether you're
doing an athletic challenge whether you're doing a presentation speech whatever do net do not go above and beyond do not do extra work take the vacation
leave work early come in late do the bare minimum and don't make anybody think that you're good at
anything because then when you are it's a big surprise and when you're not it's like well
that's it's you know that's the big Dominion John it's the big Dominion party
whatever
a lot of these guys
though were like
like the A's guys
like dude
no one really knows
who I am
I'm an opening day
starter
they don't know
exactly who he is
by the way
it's the opening day
starter
the A's are in bad shape
they're in bad shape
but like
it kind of helps
like it's like
it helps me a little bit
like a little
get your name out a little bit. Like, a little recognition.
Get your name out a little bit.
Yeah, get your name out.
Like, show a person.
Who in the MLB shows a personality?
Do you know anyone?
Dude, they acted like Trevor Bauer was like, because he started doing, before all this
shit happened, he was doing YouTube and shit.
And they were like, MLB personality.
And I was like, if this is the best offering, we're in trouble.
Yeah, big trouble.
MLB is fucking vanilla, like if this is the best offering we're in trouble you know big trouble MLB is fucking
vanilla
yeah
and honestly like
a guy like that
like who knows
you know
good luck on your career
or whatever
but you do shit like this
and you can have a whole
second career in podcasts
and media
exactly
that's kind of what
they all were saying
yeah
but the problem was like
I
because then
Zach Gallen
I went to his house
and like interviewed him
he was like
I want to face you so badly, but I'm not ready,
and I'm not going not ready.
Right.
He's like, I'm going to make sure I'm ready for this.
But, dude, that to me is a win.
Yeah.
The fact that a pitcher, a real pitcher is like –
Pitching a World Series.
Yeah, I pitched in the World Series,
and I'm nervous to be at my 7 out of 10 range.
Yeah.
That's a win.
Yeah, 100%.
Put it this way.
We can put the qualifiers on or whatever, but
this sentence is true. A World Series
pitcher is afraid to face Martin.
That is true.
Two for nine. So far,
if you watch Trevor Bauer, I've won two for nine
with a walk.
Is that 180? Is that 300
OBP? Yeah.
333. Yeah. So right now, I'm winning 300 OBP? Yeah. That's all. That's 233.
Yeah.
So right now I'm winning.
Is it OBP or OPB?
OBP.
OBP.
On base percentage.
But I thought I'd do that.
That's the one that makes sense.
Yes.
Oh, okay.
Yes.
There's so many.
There's so many things.
We also were talking about Mincy.
Let's say you were in his shoes.
How much would the winnings need to be if Dave Portnoy said to you,
you have to give your winnings to the employee who won or you are fired?
How much would the winnings need to be for you to say, okay, then I'm fired?
Millions.
Yeah, he said seven figures.
It has to be.
Because one, how fucking stupid is he?
You just know, Dave even said, he's like, we don't do many of these events.
Yeah.
It's like one every four years.
You get X to go, you go.
Well, and his line was, I told Hank a couple weeks ago, I will 100% be there unless I advance.
What's he supposed to say?
Oh, okay.
Well, if you get to the 12, it's like, you don't expect him to get to the 12th person but like
but there's gotta be
like I think Dave said
on the video he put out
where it's just like
there's poker tournaments
every weekend
I don't know what the
what the pull of this one is
versus others
but like
every weekend
you can play poker
when he said
what do I pay you for
oh that hurts to hear
that's so funny
well you know
the real answer is
to be honest
this this is what you pay yeah yeah yeah
like at what point at what point does the drama at barstool what why barstool works so well is
because the people who are creating the drama it's never intentional it's always honest but
like if you were to start to get savvy mincy it's like mincy be like i'm gonna skip this on
purpose because it'll then you know what i mean then i'll be like he's also but david also seems
really actually combine because it's yeah that's that's where you want to be fun you know like
jump right if like a middle of the road athlete skips it it's like well doesn't matter whatever
man but we want to we need the best to be like who's the fastest whatever and then we need the
funny shit yeah so mincy the missing this is so purpose perfect because like i don't know if we ever talked about it
because i think i was gonna talk on barcelona radio that never came out or it just never came
up on the show but when when me and jackie and him went fishing in alabama the uh no louisiana
um we're getting the boat and the boat right it was Mincy. Mincy had, like, just gotten hired back.
It was all, like, very quick.
And we're on – it's, like, going through the harbor, like, slow.
And Mincy's just like, you know, man, before we get going out there,
I just got to say, Feidelberg, I mean, you called me out pretty hard
on my way out the door there.
And I was like, I don't think I did, man.
Like, I think I just said, like – you're like, yeah, you said, you know,
I don't really work a lot and all that stuff.
And I was like, well, I don't think.
Was I the only person who said that?
I think I just said facts.
I don't think I went out of the way.
I think I said, well, the joke about you was that you don't work.
And you say the N-word.
You probably set yourself up to get fired.
And then now I'm just beingid feeling what do you work for that day when mincy that it didn't it didn't do
the whole trip but i was like what i just said it's also the sky's blue that's just facts when
you mincy in paris you know like that's a thing you You're going to get someone's email. You're not going to be like, ah, he should be staying.
That's crazy.
How's Engage Life, bro?
It's fantastic.
We moved.
Nice new place.
Yeah, seriously.
Got yourself a sugar mama?
Yeah.
Of course.
Very successful.
Hell yeah.
No, we're loving it.
Honestly, it's been like fun like planning it
i know people get stressed i don't know it wasn't really stressful pretty much done
it's 100 one of those things that like just doesn't need to be the way it is so if you get
if you get together with the right person and you have the money and your families are good
and there's not all those outside stressors yes and you don't have like a bride zealous yeah but it's also like we're both the
same where it's like we'll get to it yeah and i can see you're being like yeah i don't these
flowers are good this is good like not going crazy and then it's just like that so yeah i don't know
all it is is you're planning a party yeah you're just planning a party so like it's a big one and
there's some things you got to worry about but it's you're not like you know running a company i will say the hardest part is the is who to invite because it's
crazy because i'm not obviously making it like a bar stool like thing yeah yeah there was a time
they tried to ruin it you know yeah i i didn't want to i i was gonna say i'll you you guys have
been good about taking the high road i'll say it I would be man I would have been running up the scoreboard
on a bunch of people
who were like well yeah I mean I guess if they get
married then it's okay
it's fine it doesn't matter I really don't
it's honestly so far I really don't care
about it anymore because it was so
we knew what we were doing
so it wasn't like we did something stupid
but the invite list is a problem
who's getting invited who's getting cut i don't think it's gonna be that hard to cut people
but my family's so goddamn big and so is hers like my family alone's like 150 you guys are
gonna have like a 500 person my mom's side her just her brothers and sisters is six and my dad's
seven so and they all have tons of kids so i have
like so many cousins and shit so are you so you're inviting cousins and stuff like that i know my
cousin i'm married oh no kids no like i'm not having bastards yeah yeah i like that where it's
like i i don't know remember i had one cousin who was like very apologetic because my sister was two
years younger than me she didn't make the cut she's like it's fine but like i forget i think i don't think i was 21 yet but so it might have been maybe 18
year olds or what i forget exactly what it was but i i remember like that was the first i'd ever
heard of that and i was like this is crazy well now that i'm older i'm like yeah that's don't we
don't want kids yeah it's one of those things too like i don't want them to be running a kid to not
eat his fucking yeah you pay i mean they tell you like 200 a plate and that guy has two chicken fingers you know well that wasn't worth it it's one of those things too
it's like if you were to tell me hey you're not going to xyz's wedding i'd be like good i didn't
want to go but then you find out that like it's some rule that you got yeah from you're like well
wait a minute fuck that you know what i mean all of a sudden you get mad because you're a part of
some they are so weird too like i was at a bachelor party this weekend and one of the guys was talking about his friend and he is like i told
him like if you don't come to my wedding i won't go to yours and we'll call it even and i was like
i was like then why invite people well that's that's a guy thing the problem is usually not
worrying about inviting and not inviting guys but like you i think you've said or i've heard before
where like people get excited when when a no comes back.
I'm like, well, I feel pressure to go because you invited me.
I know.
So just don't invite me and I won't go.
So when I was doing it, we were hunting for no's.
They tell you, I think they tell you 15% to 20% is like a normal drop off.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right?
Something like that.
And we got like single digit no.
We got like everybody said yes single digit note like just we got
like everybody said yes yeah and it's a good problem to have you have friends and family
that love you but when you start to factor in a 20 drop off and you don't get that it's a big
fucking number that you're now adding to the list and it's a big guest list now we gotta you know
i gotta add another table and then who's gonna sit there so it was like why did you tell me that
there's gonna be drop off and then there was none because now we're fucked.
But I think usually with guys, you can be like, hey, man,
the list is getting too big.
Sorry.
My thing, are you having a wedding party?
We're still deciding.
Because that's where I felt a little pressure with that.
I'll be in someone's wedding for like the 12th time.
Crazy.
Really? Well, just in there.
I'm like, I don't want that.
You're a good friend, Marty.
I don't want to be.
Also, sometimes I don't want to be the guy
or you're going to be here at 10 a.m. and be out here.
I'd rather just want to enjoy it.
We both just maybe like, I'll do my brother,
she does her sister, and that's it.
That's the way to go, yeah.
And everyone enjoy the party.
But it's funny, both our dads are the same, right?
They're both just the same person. And they're like, listen, party. But it's funny. Both our dads are the same, right? They're both just the same person.
And they're like, listen, we'll drop an uncle if you want any famous people.
This uncle, we'll cut him if you want a famous person.
I remember feeling like, because I got married a little bit younger,
so I still was really hanging out with all my friends.
We'd see each other all the time.
And we had a big crew, and I was like,
all these guys are like my brothers.
So I think I only ever lived with you,
or there's like two guys I knew from like first grade.
So I knew them for like 30 years.
Otherwise, there's guys I was like hanging out with every weekend
that I have deep conversations with. And I was like i there would be 14 of you guys up here it's
ridiculous so i just was like if you're a roommate of mine if you ever live with me in college or
afterwards then you can then you're up there it's also nice i could be like you were gonna be in it
by the way yeah we're not doing the best man yeah just to like 40 people i remember i was dating a
girl and we were younger,
and we weren't like talking about marriage, like marrying each other.
We were just talking about weddings.
And she was like, I think I'm going to have like 14 bridesmaids.
And I remember being like, that's going to look weird.
When I have three, it's going to be better.
It was four out of five I had in my head.
It's going to be 14 to five.
It's going to be one guy walking.
You're going to have two on each arm.
Four bridesmaids per one and i honestly can't stand the walk-ins at weddings yeah it's never good i think we actually this generation is reaching the point of like you don't even need
to get married you don't need to have kids and the idea of having a big wedding especially because
of money and jobs and debt and all that shit.
Not only do you not need to spend it all,
but you don't need
the whole pomp.
And I think,
I think,
I think,
maybe I'm wrong,
but I think we're getting
a little bit more like minimalistic
where it's like,
yeah,
a couple of people up there
make it quick.
It doesn't need to be
such a production anymore.
You know,
not at all.
They're still expensive as fuck,
man,
but it's not like,
it's like the,
the pageantry of it.
It's like,
whatever.
We're just, man, I'll tell you how much things like the pageantry of it. It's like, whatever.
You really don't know how much things cost. If you can get into the wedding business,
if you own a venue,
if you are a vendor, all that shit,
you literally add a zero
to real numbers. If something's
$500, it becomes $5,000.
Things that are regularly $5,000 become $50,000.
I think a broker.
Because those bastards
open the door
and a broker.
Yeah.
If you,
like when you go
to a new apartment.
Oh yes, yes.
They open the door,
you look around.
15%.
A month's rent to them.
They're like,
you just fucking opened it.
I could have done that.
I hate brokers.
Well especially,
there was a time
where it was like,
you needed one
to like find out
all the listings.
Now with the internet
and all these apps and shit,
it's like,
you literally just have the key. if I punch you in the face
and just take this key right now
I could save 15% of the year
fuck you
oh I have real quick
it's gonna be on Tommy's video
I won't go too much into it
but you down
me you fights
own a gas station
let me tell you something
when I was
when I was a kid
when I was a little kid
I remember somebody asked
me i was probably like five years old they said what do you want to be when you grow up i said
number one i want to be a baseball player number two i said i want to be a gas man because back
especially back then when my mom would fill up with the tank you know twenty dollars the tank
he takes out a wad of cash because they keep it in their pocket. And he'd be like, here you go. And I remember being like, yo, pumping gas is the way to make that money.
So it's always kind of been a lifelong dream of mine.
So I'm in.
Well, good.
Why don't we all just own a gas station?
It's seriously like it's just so simple.
Are we going to run like kind of like a Wawa or we're just doing gas?
No, no, no.
Just one of those like two pumps.
Snacks for sure.
No chain.
Yeah.
No franchises.
You need like
did you know Stephen Jay
when like he goes to 7-Eleven
his wife just goes
all right I'll see you later
and then he just looks
at all the drinks.
He likes to see
what kind of new drinks
there are.
It's one of my favorite
things he says.
Well that's the tism.
And I love it.
That's the tism talking.
That's a touch.
How many people at this company do you think have the tism?
I actually think I'm the one that doesn't.
I don't think I do.
Oh, I think you are also on the list.
I don't think you don't have it.
Oh, I don't have it.
Yeah.
I think you're on the spectrum.
Me?
Yeah.
Some of the social stuff, I think we're on the spectrum. I think you and the social stuff, I think we're on the spectrum.
I think you and I with the social stuff, we're on the spectrum.
I guess a little bit.
I don't think so, though. I just don't like eye contact.
Like, the number one thing.
John, you don't like eye contact and you walk on your toes.
You're going to piss them.
I just walk like I skate.
We were talking about this. Will texted me last night
and he was like, those fights, can you run?
And I was like... Such a disrespectful text. We're like, Will texted me last night and he was just like, those fights, can you run? And I was like.
Such a disrespectful text.
So mean.
I was like, that's so mean, but also no.
But like, I run like I'm playing hockey.
Yeah, you play hockey.
You go side to side.
But when you walk.
But that's like.
You walk like this.
You go like.
Because when you skate, you flick to get like the every
ass into the blade yeah so i'm doing like the little hockey players do not know how to function
function on the way they're like my brother's guy is a fat bastard but he like so good on skates
well he cannot do anything on the yeah no yeah that's hockey it's hockey for you you call the
floor the ground what what do you mean oh the ground well i mean
depends where i am this is the floor indoors is the floor the ground is outside yeah
but in in sports you'd call it like on basketball you call it the floor yeah yeah it's words has
just been you know i've been thinking about you versus words has been a battle for a long time now. Big one. All right, man. So your video series will start tomorrow and each week.
You'll see a new picture.
So the first episode will be a little longer to do the story.
Dana edited it, so it's kind of like a documentary style.
Got it.
That's great.
And then, yeah, so it'll be four pictures.
I'm going to just put Bauer last.
Yeah, yeah, the finale.
Plus give it a little time now to.
I wasn't going to say anything,
but it fucking has like two million views on Twitter.
So I was like, I got to at least get something.
My final vote on that is like,
he has every right to put it out,
but it's just kind of a dick move.
It's like, can you just wait a couple weeks, man?
We can drop on the same day.
Same day, like collab or something.
I actually, I think there's a chance
that the same day you end up cannibalizing each other.
Yeah,
because some people still like
don't know anything
about Trevor Bauer.
They'll see Barstool.
He's got a bunch of
like baseball dork people.
Yeah,
Barstool's kind of outside.
Like,
mine's been more making fun
of also he was like,
it wasn't a hit
and I'm going to make,
go back at him
and say,
it literally says it.
Yeah,
yeah,
fuck you.
That's crazy.
He's trying to spin it.
But yeah,
it comes down.
I'm very excited about it.
So hopefully, hey, Garrett Cole, fucking DeGromia, if he's all right.
You're fucked, by the way.
The Mets are just...
Yeah, they're in trouble.
They're in trouble, man.
But hey, nice to see you, fellas.

ari shafir i mean he's a jack of all trades yeah he's a multi multi-tool player also i well
this is what talking means a little obviously a rope-a-dope but very very cool that chain my dad
texted me saturday night and was just like I'm just gonna
say it's pretty cool to have your friend hosting SNL yeah and I was like yeah dad it is it's the
first time I was trying to think of like nothing just just gonna say just gonna throw it out there
it's pretty cool to know someone who's landed on the moon yeah dude I fucking know it's a hyper
exclusive list of people like it was definitely uh you know at this point sometimes
i'm i'm like you know we we know a lot of super talented people but uh and and we've even talked
to people who have done amazing things you know you look like a danny devito or someone that's
like an incredible uh i'm sure he's hosted right or done similar things and but to actively do it when you know
you're in the mix like when you talk to someone or know them or watch their rise or whatever is
it's like wow that's a big one yeah even by our standards we're very lucky where we get to talk to
a lot of people who have a lot of cool experiences that one is like oh shit one thing i think that
people took away from it was that i think it's because so many new people were watching,
that everyone, from what I saw, a lot of people were like,
the people in the back, the band didn't laugh at all.
Like, fuck that or whatever.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't think the band ever laughs.
I think, I don't know if it, because I remember watching Bargatze's.
I don't watch a ton of monologues, but I remember watching Bargatze's
and noticing, wow, they're not laughing at all.
Yeah, Nate's another one.
That's really probably it, right?
I think, and Nate was killing, and he doesn't have any of that tension, perhaps, that Shane might.
I was going to say, Nate is made for an SNL monologue, so it's perfect.
I think they just, I don't know if it's an order from Lorne or something like that.
I think they just never laugh.
I think their thing is I don't know if it's like an order from Lorne or something like that, I think they just never laugh I think like their thing is like we keep a straight face
because then
I could see
it coming from Lorne being like you never laugh
because when you do laugh
then you know it starts to show
it actually does show whether you like or don't like a person
where it's just like no one's ever laughing
done
I think that must, that has to be what it was.
I mean, he's still just such a lightning rod that, you know, the reaction is either, was
either people who have always and will always probably hate Shane being like, he sucked,
it was terrible.
And then the, you know, the Gillis Nation just being like, that was absolutely fucking
incredible.
Yeah.
He is still, you know, as polarizing as it can get as far as the people who
hate him and the people who love him right which is probably where you want to be i'm sure it's not
the most uh relaxing lifestyle for shane um but but he had a real heat check moment at one point
when he introduced 21 savage. Yeah. He had a Sports Illustrated jacket on.
No, he goes for it every now and then.
I'm feeling good, boys.
That's one thing with Shane is every now and then he bought all of the Drake Nike stuff.
Sometimes he wears jerseys and he tests it.
He's like, I feel stupid.
I'm in a Bryce Harper jersey.
He's always a little bit aware of what he's wearing. And then once he really made it i think he started being like fuck it yeah but it was the build-up was very cool uh like a ton of support from like all of his
friends and fellow comics and then just everyone under the sun who thinks that they you know know
shane or promote shane i mean the amount of was a testament to shane yeah
yeah but it was there was a lot of funny like i'm gonna post my picture with shane and my story was
shane and all that sort of stuff with him i was the build-up was bigger i didn't think that
was gonna be as i mean my my timeline saturday morning and afternoon was just nothing yeah
tonight's the night tonight's the night tonight's the night and then afterwards of course went off but the build-up to me was even crazier yeah uh and it
was cool seeing like uh tommy and o'connor and those guys like backstage and at the after party
and you know like bringing the crew along to do it is like that that the best thing in the world
is to be able to make it while you're still with your friends and like you didn't have to sell out
you didn't ditch your you didn't ditch your og friends or your family you're not surrounded by
your your yes men and you're like posse like he's just with all like the fellow comics that he was
with so yeah that's uh it took it took a little took a little uh detour to get there but he did
it you know the best way best way possible i loved i fucking loved
uh liberty emu i thought that was so funny when when when the when the the subtitle said maybe
he did have a gun he just dangling he wanted this all the time didn't you you planned this
the whole time didn't you very funny shit john had a good point though if we ever
and i think i've said this to you before but i'm going to tell you now pavs and jackie and everyone
if lawyer legal ever tells you that we're not allowed to use somebody's name or a logo or
reference or anything they just use the fucking name the logo the sounds the mascot they said the name and they
inferred that it was you know a drug dealing murderer so uh you know god i i don't know what
that is i actually texted rosebud she never fucking texted me back i wonder i was like maybe
maybe nbc does like clear things because they're on such a high level or maybe when you're that big
you you have a legal team that can fight it and maybe
barstool is a lower level where we would be in trouble or something like that but all i know is
we have gotten to a point at barstool sports where the legal team shoots down like 80 percent of what
i try to do i don't even know what happens with the rest of the company, but every one-minute man, all your skits,
a lot of our podcast segments are constantly shot down by legal.
And I don't blame the producers for being like,
I don't want to get in trouble.
Joey Langone and the one-minute man guys are always like,
I'm not risking my job.
But I'm like, you do it, and if there's a problem,
tell them to come to me because this is getting like the company is going to die.
We're just not going to make any content.
Eventually, it's going to dry up if we can't reference things that are going on.
And people that are companies that are in the news and names that are in the news.
It's fucking crazy.
It's like I said before, everyone's job is to keep their job.
So, yeah, you're going to say no to everything.
Everything.
Because why make your job harder?
I get it every step of the way.
I understand.
What there needs to be for Barstool legal and corporate, whatever, legal, let's call it.
They should get paid on, like, some sort of metric of, like, how well content in that realm does.
Like, there should be an incentive to be a to have a good
green light yeah you know what i mean right because because if your job is just don't get us
sued by a company anytime we mention a company i would say no no no i don't give a fuck about
your guys podcast or your skit but if they were tied into like revenue or or success somehow
i don't know how you would do
that it'd be a very convoluted thing where it's like if out of order does a skit that involves
a name that you cleared and it does well like that's you know you get a bigger bonus then i
bet you they would be a little more liberal but instead it's just no no no no no because then
you can't get sued ever again well that i think I think is what the job is, is like no fair use, no parody laws, satire laws, and be able to enforce it if shit goes down.
Not just could we get sued for this?
Yes.
You can get sued for anything.
And you might lose.
You might win.
But you can get sued for like literally anything.
So I don't need you to tell me that you know it's like of course
the safest role would be no logos no references no names no nothing but then the content sucks
dick and then you don't have a you can't be a high paid lawyer at a company that has bad content
so fucking the whole thing i mean whether it's legal or the social team or whatever like you gotta gotta take
some risks there's gonna be some strikes against you there's gonna be some wax on the wrist you
can't be totally squeaky clean or you just end up fading out like whoever the new influencers are
who don't worry about that shit will just you know take over like i'm i don't think miss peaches
worries about any sort of any sort of legal'm i don't think miss peaches worries about any sort of any sort
of legal problems i don't think miss peaches worries about fucking anything miss peaches
just do whatever she wants she's got 500 000 followers on goddamn instagram i i i texted john
this and and i should have known it especially right after i made the video i don't know if
people have seen it it's on our youtube channel about it's the full definitive story of dave portnoy's deal with the devil and i made it like one week too early
because i would love to have had a little edition where dave also just got a dog that's all he did
he just got a dog and he adopted it and that's that's good but he just got a dog and somehow
that became the biggest story on the internet dave portnoy getting a dog was like he was it was like
he was the first person to get a dog you would have thought he has like a pet elephant the way
people are acting he miss peaches you would think is like an alien from another planet
you know i i'm sure that there's you know some there's another fucking another animal out there
who's like another dog who's like what the fuck miss peaches gets all the love i you know rover
over here is the same goddamn thing how come i'm not a star it's it's like the uh it's like what the fuck miss peaches gets all the love i you know rover over here is
the same goddamn thing how come i'm not a star it's it's like the uh it's like the comedians
who are like oh you know like white guys can't make it anymore it's it's only these people over
here there's probably some other breeds of dog being he only got it because it's a pit bull
so he's only 500 000 followers because it's a pit bull so the the the system's rigged against me
the but it's very funny and very fitting that, we've been doing it for a little while,
but I feel like most recently we definitively said that over-the-top dog culture is,
blech, we're out on it.
I don't think that episode's out yet.
Oh, no?
Is that on now?
I think that was with Kim.
Yeah, Kim's not out yet.
Okay.
But we've been, you you know alluding to it
here and there so we
said it and it'll be out
that you know the people
who just let their dogs
do whatever they want and
the people who talk that
the miss Peaches voice
just gives me well I
don't maybe just I know
Dave and you never see
any emotion out of him
it almost feels like he's
like trying to like, okay,
let me put on my voice now.
Miss beaches.
As soon as we were like,
ah,
I don't like that on the internet.
It's the,
of course.
And I get it.
We should bet the rent on that one.
That as soon as we say,
nah,
I don't like that.
It becomes the most successful thing.
I'm barstool.
That's par for the course.
Uh,
but that miss
peaches eats everything in sight so uh you know i think kirk and and whitney on the unnamed show
we're talking about kirk said that it's going to be a new line of content where it just eats
children and rates it yeah yeah one bite everyone knows the rules of his peaches he eats some kids
face off uh but yeah shout out to Miss Peaches.
I mean, what a dream come true for her.
Yeah.
You go from the orphanage to the $8,000 bowls.
$8,000 bowl is insane.
Insane. I don't...
Despite how rich Dave is, I've never seen him...
And I've never been to his homes.
I don't really know much.
There's not much I've ever been able to see.
But I've never seen something and gone like, don't really know much. There's not much I've ever been able to see.
But I've never seen something and gone like,
that's a little tacky.
Yeah.
The bowls.
Come on, Dave.
Louis Vuitton bowls.
He said he was like, that's the point.
That I'm pampering her so she gets the best.
But you can pamper without being tacky.
That's tacky.
I think Whitney maybe said it.
You can get an $800 bowl and it would my God. I didn't even know the price.
I just saw that it had LV on it.
$8,000.
Was it called God?
Oh, does it not have LV?
I thought it had a pattern on it.
I think he bought multiple things, so I don't know.
It's a different brand that I've never even heard of.
It's Goyard.
Huh?
Goyard.
Goyard, yeah.
He was like, you know,
ask any girl about it,
they'll know.
And I was like, I don't
know what Goyard is.
The price is, I didn't
know the price.
That's not what I found
that.
You thought it was
Louis Vuitton?
I thought Louis Vuitton.
So maybe if it's not, I
guess I'm...
It's Goyard, same thing.
Oh, it's the same way.
No, no, I'm saying it's
like the same thing as
Louis Vuitton.
It's just a...
So it's a noticeable
pattern?
Noticeable pattern.
Okay, yeah. A little tacky. Yeah. That's okay. A So it's a noticeable pattern? Noticeable pattern, yeah. Okay, yeah.
A little tacky.
That's okay.
A little tacky.
Too tacky.
John wouldn't eat out of that bowl.
But, yeah, good for her to just hit the lottery on the right person to adopt you.
All right.
So let's get into it with our boy Drewski on KFC Radio.
Let's talk to him
all right right on the top you smell good you smell real good
that just changed the whole the whole vibe in this place man
damn thank you brother thank you i mean You might be cold You're in your shorts
But the smell is
You alright?
Drink your water man
You good?
Nah I'm good
I'm good
I walked in the cold here
We didn't take a taxi or nothing
Because it was so close to the hotel
How far away were you?
So I might have just got sick out of nowhere
Yeah bro
What are you doing in shorts man?
I don't know man
I don't know
It's February in New York
I don't know brother
You're crazy
Where are you originally from?
Atlanta
Yeah so you don't know about cold weather Not don't know. It's February in New York. I don't know, brother. You're crazy. Where are you originally from? Atlanta.
Yeah, so you don't know about cold weather.
Not too much. Well, no, we've had some cold winters.
Yeah?
Dude, everywhere is the same fucking weather now.
Everywhere is like, dude, I went to FSU, so like northern Florida.
And people are like, oh, you're in the south.
It's fucking freezing here.
I don't know.
Everywhere is the same weather now.
But I actually saw you were at the Georgia Southern.
Yeah.
And you.
For like a half a semester.
Okay.
And actual attendance.
And then, you know, I was just fucking around after that.
But did you.
So I went to FSU.
I was told, you're all set with college, buddy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Get the fuck out of here.
Did you drop out or were you told to leave?
I think I actually still think I'm enrolled.
I left, but I don't know.
I think I still am enrolled in some classes.
I don't know.
I never really told them I was, you know.
When was that?
Like 2015 going into 2016.
It might have been like, yeah, yeah, like 2016 maybe.
Yeah, it might have been like 2016.
2016 was the last time I went to class.
2015, I was definitely there and enrolled.
And then 2016.
You went out to get some cigarettes.
Yeah, I had to get milk.
When did you start making videos and content?
Probably like, I would probably say like late 2017 going into 2018 for sure.
And yeah, no, it was a rough start for sure.
But I figured it out.
Me and one of my boys, we started doing like a YouTube channel.
You know, when you just like, you want to do something with somebody
just because you're just trying to get your feet wet.
And, you know, it didn't work out fully, but it was fun.
And then I noticed, I was like, all right,
maybe I have to just chase this shit on my own. oh i didn't see like an instant like you know that
sucks to be that guy i wasn't feeling the whole youtube thing right off bat like yeah i couldn't
i couldn't do you know how everybody thinks they could go and like shoot vlogs and fucking yeah it
just wasn't for me there's an art to it man yeah yes you gotta be comfortable like we've had like
five different iterations of like trying to do vlogs and like every time like this isn't really us.
Yeah.
Dude, I mean I'm like 15 years in and I still feel awkward.
Yeah, I'm talking to the producer.
I'm like I'm being funny and now the cameraman is here and this.
Like the whole thing is –
No, I get it.
I get it.
I remember one time we were back in the old office.
This was probably like six years ago now and someone was trying to get us to do vlog stuff.
And we were just like, hey, we're going to go do blank or whatever.
And he's like, no, you got to do it like this.
And he showed us.
I forget if it was Jake Paul or somebody.
And I was like, what's up, YouTubers?
He was good at it, bro.
I'm not going to do that.
Jake Paul.
He was the reason why I wanted to get into it.
Because they were doing like a crib with him and all his boys.
Like Team 10 and all his boys like team 10
and all that shit
so I was like nigga
he came through
he came through our office
and he would be
talking to somebody
very normal
normal voice
talking business
and he would turn to the camera
like the voice goes up
the energy goes up
and then he comes right back down
and starts talking to you again
I was like Jesus Christ
yeah you gotta be built
for that type of shit man
I don't know
I never could fully get into it
bro you're built for it
what are you talking about
yeah no no no but I couldn't talk to him I don't know. I never could fully get into it. Bro, you're built for it. What are you talking about? Yeah, no, no, no.
But I couldn't talk to the camera like a person.
Got it.
I feel you.
Yes, yes, yes.
A lot of those YouTubers are really good at what they did because they could talk to the
fans behind the camera, which is why streaming and all that shit is dope right now.
I feel like it's a certain talent you got to have to do some of this shit.
Dude, the streaming, man.
I mean, when I started, I was writing.
Yeah, dude.
I mean, streamers and rappers.
It's crazy.
And all they do, I don't want to say all they do because it does take a talent.
But it's like, I'm just going to play some music.
I'm going to fuck around.
I'm going to play video games.
I'm going to have a guest come through.
But do it for like 48 hours.
Right.
That's the thing.
I know.
I don't know.
And keep that audience captured the whole time.
But no, no, no.
It definitely is a particular talent.
It's new, though.
So I don't know how big it can get yeah man they rich as hell dude hayden ross kaisen that
they big money banking big money they paid uh i think they're just paying rappers to pull up like
it's a show well so show fees like you think that's all i'm over here drooling, thinking about the fucking money. Start talking about the money. Holy shit.
Fuck.
Gotta get that stream, right?
$275,000.
God damn.
I'm gonna start streaming.
Go ahead, go ahead.
That was great, dude.
I'm a little suspect.
I think some of that shit feels inflated to me.
Giving a bag of $2 million to Lil Yachty.
I don't know.
Some of it's like, I feel like this is just for the camera.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, I think the last one was like, I think the majority of them are real when they pay in the six-figure range.
I don't know about the million dollars of them like spending that on Lil Yacht.
I don't know about that.
Bro, if you paid $2 million for someone and they came for six minutes.
Yeah, I don't know about that.
I think the six-figure bags make more sense.
Yeah, it makes more sense.
Yeah, it's crazy.
But what's nuts is it's probably worth it.
Have y'all ever paid somebody to come up here and talk to Joe?
No.
No.
To me, like, I mean, we don't have that kind of money.
But I guess you reach a point where if you pay someone a couple hundred grand
but they bring, like, a million people to your stream,
it probably ends up being worth it.
But I don't know.
There's also something to me about, like, I don't know.
I couldn't give someone a duffel bag of cash.
You want, like, a real authentic feel.
I feel that.
Yeah.
It's like you don't want to be here.
You're just doing it because you have a fat bag of cash,
which, you know, it's each their own.
Whatever, man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's why I appreciate what people like you come through. Like, it's, you know, if you want to do it, let's do it. If you don't want to, we don't have to be here. You're just doing it because you have a fat bag of cash. Which, you know, it's each their own. Whatever, man.
And that's why I appreciate what people like you come through.
Like, it's, you know, if you want to do it, let's do it.
If you don't want to, we don't have to.
I don't think, I was thinking, I don't think Barstool has.
I know for sure we haven't.
I don't think Barstool has.
Not that I'm aware of.
You know what people try to always do with us is,
because in the beginning we started with a website with viral videos.
And so if you're like, you film film if you're the person that films it they
always try to hold us oh y'all did this before barstool's got involved so so like barstool
started out as a blog where we just wrote yeah and we put like post viral videos and write
so when something went viral it was a big fight or uh something crazy on the internet we would be
like yo you know can we post post that video and then give us five grand give us 10 grand
and we just wait for fucking tmz to them, and then we'd just post it ourselves.
So, like, I don't know.
It never made sense.
I guess having it first is worth paying a little bit of money, but, you know, you can always just rip that shit off.
Yeah, Barstool's going crazy right now, man.
Y'all have, like, every show.
Yeah, we grew pretty big, for better or worse, man.
It used to be, you know, a tight crew of us, and then it just kept on expanding into basically every goddamn thing.
Let's go.
Yeah.
You need to start talking about the equity wow it's time i had that portnoy conversation i see that you got
the could have been inked up man you went all in on this shit this shit's real man when you believe
in something you're like fuck it this shit with me for life man yeah dude uh yeah is it i mean it
started in covid yeah yeah it's like the
you know the um auditions and shit right yeah we were doing them on like instagram live and shit
so it was like really me doing it in my mom's crib for a little minute like i was using like
my sister's ipad getting on live yeah yeah yeah just so i think you were you were pretty big
though yeah yeah yeah i was i was known but i I felt like more eyes were on me because of COVID.
Sure.
Because everybody's at home and shit.
So it was like any live that anybody was doing, like Tory Lanez was fucking going ballistic.
Versus.
If y'all remember that.
Yeah, they were doing.
There was this DJ dude that blew up during COVID.
He would just do a whole set, like a party.
And he went crazy.
He was making bags as if he's doing real shows and shit.
Crazy. Yeah, it was certain shit but could have been records is one of those like social media lives
that were going crazy through that did you think it was gonna like did you always have a plan to
make it something real or was like yeah somewhat but not not where it's at right now like honestly
i think i i thought it would just be kind of like a joke for like maybe like a year yeah and i was
like i'll eventually figure out whatever else is new but this is like it's like a real the biggest thing right i'm pushing right right yeah
so the could have been house is like for a record deal yeah yeah so could have been house at first
the idea behind it was supposed to be to give out a real record deal but i think we started like
managing these dudes for a little minute where we thought we were like it just went downhill like i just
didn't see it going anywhere so i was like yeah maybe not i'm probably not gonna be like a real
record label i don't think i want to do this shit it's chaos i'm not giving out no fucking money
i don't i ain't trying to fucking do that so yeah nah i think i think after i noticed that i had to
give up money i shut the whole label shit down but But nah, all jokes aside, we did a TV show where we put all the contestants in a house.
Right.
And they're competing for $50,000.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, so we ended up figuring out a way to where we don't have to manage the artists.
But is it music related still?
Yeah, it's music related, the whole thing.
We had Chris Brown involved.
We had Krip Mac.
I don't know if y'all know who that is.
Gangsta.
Yeah.
Yeah, Krip Mac.
Damn, who else? Snoop Dogg. Why did you say we might not know who he is? No, you know. Why don't know if y'all know who that is. Gangster. Krip Mac. Damn, who else? Snoop Dogg.
Why did you say we might not know who he is?
Why don't you think he's a black gangster?
I don't know if you guys
are in tune with that type of shit.
I want to make sure I know who he is. Krip Mac,
he's like Adam 22's guy, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like
part of the Looney Tunes.
But I think he went to jail after the show.
I was going to say, I think he's in prison.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cut that, cut that, cut that. part of the looney tunes yeah but i think he went to jail after the show i was gonna say i think he's in prison yeah it's getting stupid man uh so yeah we had snoop dogg involved in the show as
well like god damn real vocal coaches and shit like yeah the whole thing is like music related
and um yeah i'm really giving out like a real opportunity to make money and i think everybody left happy because they got paid to be on the show regardless during the week
so you know it putting up pretty much putting them through like a boot camp yeah yeah yeah a
little like we're just giving this shit to you gotta earn that yeah yeah so yeah no it's funny
as hell though the show is this is gonna be like the biggest show of this day. Is it? When and where? I think it comes out by the time this drops.
It'll be out already.
Okay.
So, yeah.
Is it on the internet?
Or is it YouTube?
No, it'll be on YouTube.
Yeah, yeah.
It's going to be on YouTube.
Are you going full drop?
We're not going to drop everything all at once.
We're going to do it biweekly.
Dude, I love that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because I don't want to give everything up.
We do have it to give to everybody.
But, like, honestly, like.
You don't get any talk out of it.
Yeah.
And I want to bring back those vibes.
Like, you remember how MTV used to be with, like, making the band?
Yes.
You know, the show Next.
Yeah.
When they used to have, like, everybody.
Like, I just want to bring that vibe back.
And it's funny like that.
So, it was like, we were trying to pitch it to so many people.
We were pitching it to, like, MTV, VH1, BET, everybody, bro.
These people turned you down? Turned it down.
So I'm like, damn, we can't.
What the fuck? You know what I'm saying? So we ended up
just putting all the money to ourselves.
We got ridiculousness, bro.
We'll just put on ridiculousness for the 24th hour in a row.
That's crazy. I thought you were
going to tell me you didn't even get it.
I think they just didn't understand
the concept behind it because they were trying to figure out if it's a real label is it a joke that's why it's funny man
like that's that's the spot and the ones that get it get it so i think after we we wanted to put our
own money together and do it so that's really what we wanted to do we wanted to have like a
proof of concept for this season and then second season we'll see where it lives i don't fucking
know it could go anywhere it's probably i mean i'm sure it's gonna get like to get a bag from mtv
but like it's probably better to do it this way and have control of it yeah
because we literally were able to do whatever fuck we want right yeah dude next was the best
when sometimes when those girls would take one step off the bus and go next
you're ugly oh was that do you feel like all that shit was real some of it had to be i'm sure
some of it was a little you know yeah they Scripted, yeah. Because they came out and said the fucking car show with Exhibit.
Pimp My Ride?
Pimp My Ride, yeah.
They said a lot of that shit was fake.
Dude, I hope so.
Imagine you're like some struggling person who needs your van to get your kids to school
and you go take it off and there's a fucking fish tank in it.
Exhibit, why would I like this?
Put a fucking DJ booth in one guy's shit.
I need a third row for my kids, not an aquarium, bro.
Exhibit had to be run, man.
I remember there was one they put fucking...
Like a movie theater.
There was one of that, but there was one they put TVs in the mud flaps.
Damn.
Just stupid shit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then Exhibit just sitting there laughing and smiling and shit.
The whole thing was like,
You gotta go home
back to the struggle
just with a car.
Same car,
same situation.
The whole thing was like,
it's a reverse brain shot.
I knew kind of like,
a lot of it was for entertainment
because they did a lot
of stupid shit, man.
Oh, totally.
But it was always,
I felt like they caught
your attention though
because they had real dudes
working on the car.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So let's go shopping. Again, it was that real, like it's fake, because they had real dudes working on the cards. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So let's go shopping.
Again, it was that real, like, it's fake, but it's real.
That's the space you kind of want to live in.
You mentioned something when you were talking about what it could have been.
You were like, I thought it was going to be like a year, and it came into this.
Do you have something where right away you were like, this is going to be big, and then it wasn't?
Yeah, bro, every fucking thing we did uh before this no no we did a uh i
did a show where i was gonna do with my friends where it's gonna be like a parody vlog style type
vibe to where it's like we're we're acting as if we're one of like those youtube groups that do
like video vlogs i kind of like how we were talking about but it just didn't i felt like
that was around the same time when i was blowing up so it was like me and all my friends in the same house
and it was fun to do but i couldn't do some of the pranks because i was blowing up and because
i was like working with companies and shit so some of the shit was just so far like past what i could
do you know what i'm saying like i was blowing recognizable. I was blowing up. Yeah, I was blowing up. I was very recognizable. So we couldn't do pranks out in the open.
But then also certain shit was just getting too crazy.
We wanted to go and do the wild videos where you just do wild shit.
But I'm like, damn, I got certain companies I just started working with.
I can't really.
You know what I'm saying?
I wanted to do crazy shit and go out and we just vlog and just do wild pranks
and shit
but I was just like
damn one
this is not me
I feel like I'm forcing it
a little bit
and two
it's kind of like
what you just said
I just didn't want to
you seem to have a good
grasp on
what you want to do
I don't like to do shit
that's too far out
of my norm
the minute you start
to do that
you lose
you want to continue to be yourself you want to be natural you got to do that, you lose the threat.
You want to continue to be yourself. You want to be natural.
You got to push yourself a little bit, but the minute that you're
being phony or fraud about it, they can
smell that on you a mile away.
Correct me if I'm wrong,
I feel like when you popped, you went
quick.
It took time.
What do you
think it was?
For me, I remember seeing the team mom, football mom video for me was, like, when I got put on to you.
And then after that, I feel like I blinked and you were, like, courtside.
Commercials and shit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Is that the way it was?
No, no, it took time, man. I think, yeah, just doing the same thing
over and over
and like,
just honestly
just kept showing up
and doing the like
repeated of the same shit.
But it's like
I was trying new things
like inside of doing
the same shit.
Same framework.
But it's like
you have to,
you just have to stay consistent.
My main thing was just like
even if
i fail at this all right i'm gonna figure out what i did wrong so if i did this and i was like all
right this is not me this is not the type of video so i would try to do like videos that i i would
see early on this is like early on when i had like a little bit of like success like during
team mom shit i'll see somebody do like at the time they're doing like bunk gang videos
so i might try to go to like a gas station
and do like do y'all know i don't know crip mac y'all know what the fuck i had to teach y'all
not enough but it was a dude it was this black dude he used to go inside like stores and just
while i'll pour shit on the ground like slide on the ground, scream, yell.
But that's what was getting the big views when I was trying to blow up.
I was trying to get views as well, but that's what was big at the time.
And I caught myself writing down this skit in my notes, and I was like, yeah, I'm going to a gas station and just start wilding out.
And I was like, nah, that's not even me, though.
I think we tried to record it.
I never put it out, but we tried to record me like i was doing some stupid ass shit where i was like
at a gas station or something and we just never put it out because i was like you have that video
still i might in my eye if you drop a druski video right now you're just going nuts in a gas station
it was it was it was way back then bro that kind of stuff that kind of stuff, I don't really like that shit.
I know it goes viral every time, but it's just like, hey, look at me beating an asshole.
It wasn't funny.
I'm just going to be a dick to people in public.
It's like, hey, I ruined this guy's day.
He's got to clean up the fucking gas station now.
But, you know, whatever.
But, yeah, from shit like that, you just learn from your mistakes.
So I just was like, nah.
So I had to figure out my own niche and pretty much like your voice in comedy.
Like, you never want to force anything.
That was my big thing.
I'm big on, like, staying true to yourself.
For sure.
Be funny.
You're a type of funny.
You don't have to try to do everybody's type of funny because not everybody's going to like you.
So, you know, I figured out what I was good at.
I started working with characters.
Which character do you think really, like, put you over the top?
I'm from the South, man, so a lot
of the Bubba Joe shit I would
do. I know y'all saw the
Roll Tide Willie.
So just shit like that. I start fucking around
with that type of shit. He's an alcoholic.
He's a full-up.
I don't think he knows I'm
black still.
I think he thinks I'm very tan. No, I'm serious. He's a full-out alcoholic. I don't give a knows I'm black still. I think he thinks I'm very tan.
No, I'm serious.
That dude, he's a full-out alcoholic.
I don't give a piss about another for the time.
I love the dude.
He is out of his fucking mind, but his energy is, bro, you can't even.
If you see this dude, you just want to hug him.
Does he know that he's going viral?
No, he doesn't know I'm black.
No, he has no idea.
I don't think he would want me around if he knew I was black. I don't think he knows know I'm black. He has no idea. I don't think he would want me around if he knew I was black.
I don't think he knows that I'm black.
How much time did you spend with him?
We spent a full day with him.
Yeah, no, I set up the video.
We were supposed to shoot that months before,
but it ended up happening perfectly because they were like,
yo, we're coming down to Atlanta to the national championship game.
And I was like, oh, bet.
I'm like, it's Bama playing.
I'm getting all into full character so i had like this ripoff uh carhartt uh gene thing and i just bro i just went
straight into it i never even talked to willie like as myself the whole time i pulled up i was
in character i dipped my mouth i just went all the way in. I said, fuck it. He's never going to know who I really am.
This shit comes out.
But when it came out, it blew him up.
He was already a big deal.
Willie was a huge deal.
But after it came out, they were just thanking me.
They were like, oh, my God.
And he repeats what the guy that's around him says.
All the time.
He's like, man, thank you, man.
Willie's like, yeah, thank you, man.
I love you. He said, you know me and Willie love you. Me and Willie love you. I's like, man, thank you, man. Willie's like, yeah, thank you, man. I love you.
He said, you know me and Willie love you.
Me and Willie love you.
I'm like, Willie, you're talking and fucking.
He doesn't know, though.
He's not there.
He's a fucking alcoholic.
But I love the dude.
And genuinely, he is a good dude, though.
He has no bad intentions.
Those are the people you got to find.
Hell yeah, man.
The true characters.
Yeah, because you can do the pr characters. You can do the pranks.
You can do the stupid shit.
It's all scripted.
When you find the weirdos in the wild,
those people are gems, man.
Nah, he's a good dude.
I think they got him a house after that, too,
after that skit.
Really?
I think Alabama, the school put together,
they bought him a shed or something.
It was like a shed.
They put him like a...
So the dude, I think the guy...
I thought it was gonna be like a mansion. No, not the shed. I'm not about that. They ain't give him no real house. Fuck out of that. Yeah, they ain't gonna give him a shed. They put it like a... So the dude, I think the guy... I thought it was going to be like a mansion.
No, not the shit on him.
Not at all.
They ain't give him no real house.
Fuck out of there.
Yeah, they ain't going to give him a shed.
He's like fucking that place up.
But they put it in the backyard of his caretaker guy that goes around with him, helps him shoot
the skits and shit.
Right.
But yeah, nah, he was happy as fuck.
I bet.
That's all he needs.
It was like a piece of shit shed.
Dude, all he needs.
There was nothing in it.
They opened the door and everything.
He said, I love this shit, man.
I fucking love it.
And I'm like, bro, this place is a piece of shit.
You're telling me they put together money for this shit right here?
He doesn't need anything but the tithe.
He's a great guy.
He don't give a fuck about shit.
Give me a shed and roll tithe and that's it.
He won't survive without alcohol.
That's fucking great dude when when you kind of when you finally
popped and all that when did it hit with you like i guess what did it feel like when you kind of had
people who i imagine like heroes yeah and i don't want to say using you but being like
they you're the one yeah it means more for them for you to be there than yeah exactly yeah yeah
nah it was it was like a crazy feeling man it's it's wild what you said because i used to tell my mom like when i would
link up with certain celebrities that i saw that knew who i was and they wanted to meet me yeah
she was like just remember you know like they need you more than you need them i'm like what
the fuck is she talking about like shut the fuck up but really i started to realize that it's like
it was almost like a like a revamp for
their career and it helps them out to be around like the young upcoming you know new talent so i
never really understood that until you know more recent years and i started to see like you know
that it's good for both it's like it goes hand in hand like 50 50 so it helps my career out but also
revamps them to like the new young crowd of like people who didn't know who the fuck they were.
Yeah, yeah.
Was there one person, either a comic or an athlete or an entertainer who you worked with that you were just like, holy shit?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think Kevin Hart.
I was fucking mind blown.
I couldn't even believe I was around that dude.
We've said before, he's been on the show a couple times.
He is one of the best at being a celebrity.
Bro, he is.
Makes you feel important.
Yo, I swear.
Somehow, like, I'm sure someone's whispered his ear,
but he remembers my name, and he says what's up.
How the fuck does he know all this shit?
And it's like, he knows when to be serious.
He knows when to fuck around.
He knows when to joke.
So it's just crazy.
We were around him in the green room after his show,
and he even knows how to, like, get away from, like,
people who are trying to, like, talk. Because when you're a celebrity and like there's levels to
being a celebrity like there's some people that can be around they're like oh there's fucking
what's his face i'm like oh no that's cool yeah but then you got like people like kevin hard at
the rock where people can't even they won't even finish their comedy they can't they cannot finish
what they're doing they have everybody has to go and like record chase yeah and talk and like like try to pull them you know so i watched it we were at the green room and this
dude is a fucking genius at trying to get a conversation this lady was trying to talk to him
and he's talking to me he's just trying to have a conversation with me he's like watch what i do
i'm gonna get out of this this lady wants to talk to me and she thinks he's gonna talk to me right
after you get out of this conversation with me so So he had chips in his hand. And we're just talking.
He's like, watch.
One, two.
And he slams shit down.
He said, fuck.
I said, damn.
And he walks away.
He just storms away.
And the lady, she said, well, I know Kevin's mad.
All right, I'll just go about my business.
I'm like, yo, this dude's been doing his shit.
So he's just very smart.
He just knows how to get out of shit.
And he just stormed away.
And then we link back up in the same room.
He was like, yeah, I told you.
I told you I told you
so I guess
he's so good
and like
he just knows everything
that's another level of fame
I know you thought about
there's levels to it though
he just knows how to do shit
it's like a secret agent
shit like I'm gonna drop this
meet me in the corner
in 30 seconds
he just knows how to get
in and maneuver Hollywood bro
I don't know
would you make it
the Cat Williams shit
on Shannon Sharpe's show?
That was kind of wild, though.
Yeah, that guy's nuts, bro.
You didn't catch any strays, did you?
No, no, no.
I feel like everybody caught it at one point.
Nah, he didn't mention me at all.
I almost was mad he didn't mention me.
I'm like, what the fuck, man?
Put me in this shit, bro.
I want a piece of that beat, too.
Yeah, I want a piece of this shit.
Everybody going viral.
Hell yeah, I was jealous, bro.
Yeah, nah, he didn't mention me at all, bro.
But I did, I did, we, everybody in the world watched that whole thing.
It got like 50 million in like two days.
Crazy.
Yeah.
I think it's probably the biggest podcast appearance ever.
Yeah, that was the first time somebody ever like just said fucking everything on their mind.
Everything, dude.
Literally not one thing.
Some people usually expose one thing, but that nigga exposed everything he knew in the back of his brain.
That's what happens when someone doesn't have a podcast.
You have a podcast, it just leaks out slowly.
Bro, imagine how much money.
Imagine how much money.
If Cat Williams did a podcast and once a week,
just did one of those reveals every week,
he'd have 50 episodes.
He'd have $50 million fucking dollars in his pocket.
I wonder how much shannon made off of
that though because it's like probably like 100 or 200 million views now i'm sure i'm sure i mean
that's gonna go forever yeah yeah dude the greatest thing of that too is like sometimes those will
happen it's just like it's interesting and it's fun or whatever but i thought it was so cool all
the comics who came out after being like not only would not negativity travels bro but people saying
like how great cat is.
Like everyone was like, dude, I knew cat.
Like he saw me at the comedy cellar.
He saw me somewhere and he's like, give me a handshake.
Put five grand in my hand, took off.
Like, like there was, I think I forget who it was.
He's very good to do.
There was one comedian who was like, who did a little thing.
It was like, Oh, he went on the road with him, but he was like a struggling comedian.
Yeah.
And he just threw him hella money
but there was someone
it's a fairly famous
comedian now
and he was like
to the next person
who has Cat on their podcast
do me a favor
ask him how much money
he's given away in his life
because I bet he has no idea
damn
and I was like
that's fucking sick
to be able to talk shit
and also be like
everyone loves me
he threw Jacquees
some money too
I know y'all don't know
who the fuck Jacquees is
how could you tell by the way you just looked at me he threw jacque some money too i but I don't know who it is.
He's a singer.
Yeah, he's an R&B singer, right?
Yeah.
What's his hit?
No, what's his big hit?
I'm going to know this song.
I'm going to know this song.
I'm going to know this song.
Fucking Jock Wee, man.
Well, speaking, going back to the music,
going back to Could Have Been Records,
I've heard you
Multiple times now
On the record
Say
As a
Label manager
You are a mix
Between
Shug and Diddy
For sure
That's a
That's a combo
Right now
It's a fine line to walk
It's a fine line to walk
I'll tell you that
It was already It was already A little bit bad And then recently It got a fine line to walk, I'll tell you that. It was already a little bit bad, and then recently it got a little bit worse.
Yeah, man.
You know, that's just how I run my company, man.
That's how I run my business.
And, you know, I think Could've Been Records came about just from, like, watching.
Like, early on, I used to watch, like, American Idol.
But I wouldn't watch American Idol just for, like, the fucking singing and shit.
Like, I used to watch it for, Simon just for the judges yeah roasting people so I
used to that was what I loved about it and then a show came out called uh Making the Band with
P. Diddy and he used to like make them do some crazy shut the studio shut the studio down man
yeah so I'm like yo I want a mixture of both shows so that's why American Idol is really the reason
why I started could have been like auditions like the ones y'all see where in person like I'm like, yo, I want a mixture of both shows. So that's why American Idol is really the reason why I started. It could have been auditions.
The ones y'all see where in person I'm sitting behind the desk and people audition.
So that's why I did that.
American Idol is the reason.
They're a big influence.
But the reason why I did this show house is because of P. Diddy making the band.
He made them go and go get cheesecake.
I don't know what's bigger than this.
You never knew his vibe, though.
You never knew his vibe.
He'd come in and be like Shut the fuck up
I'm like oh man
That's it right there
That's that
Now that's
That's a real boss right there
Now that's
That's a real guy
That's a real man
You can tell that show is so old
Because like
At the time
The meanest thing we were aware of
That happened in the entertainment industry
Was someone had to walk four miles
For a cheese cake
It's kind of a lot worse.
It's bad now.
Wait until y'all see this show.
Well, and how
does this Birdman shit come about?
Oh, man.
You're going to find that out in the show, brother.
It's all revealed in the show.
So was that all a build up for this?
Nah.
It has something to do with...
You'll see it on the show, brother. I don't want to do with it was you know it's you'll you'll
see on the show brother i don't want to give too much away but it's in there it's around like
episode five six one of those episodes in there in the middle of the season is is gonna get revealed
of how like that whole situation with birdman came about how many episodes uh about 10 to 12
oh wow all right 10 to 12 that's a lot of work. Yeah, definitely.
Yeah.
No, we spent a lot of money on it, man.
Jesus Christ.
Thanks to all the people that put it together.
We didn't have KFC, but...
The $50,000 ain't coming from me.
Right.
You know what he said.
As soon as you realize...
I'm not giving it out of my pocket.
I'll tell you that right now.
Once you realize you're not in the business of giving away money, it closes off.
I'm not going to be a label manager.
I'm not going to... So this is, I feel like, a dumb question to ask in this day and age.
But if it was up to you, where does your career go?
Does it go music?
Does it go comedy?
Not a chance in music.
I ain't going to lie to you.
Even though I am putting out a standing on business song with Snoop Dogg.
I feel like T.I.'s son was not too happy about that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He was taking some shots.
I guess he thought he made the fucking phrase.
I don't know.
That guy's...
That's one of those, like...
He's from the nicest neighborhood in Atlanta.
I know.
Come on, man.
Come on, bro.
He stands on his business.
Yeah, yeah.
He definitely is.
Yeah, he's...
Behind the gated community.
That's why I saw that video.
It's like...
So much relates back to this, but, like but in the social network, when it's like,
well, if you invented Facebook, you'd have invented Facebook.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Everybody would know, right?
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
So I'm not even saying I invented the whole phrase, stand on business.
I think everybody in Atlanta played a part in that.
But a lot of my videos come from real life situations.
So when I did it in the video video it wasn't like i didn't
care to rip it and do a whole bunch of shit with like i really don't give a fuck about like phrases
i'm not like a phrase guy like i think it naturally happened and i think uh we did a song and the music
video is about to drop with snoop dogg it's gonna be dope but yeah hell yeah that's like the only
music i'd say i'm i'd be pursuing but other than that nah it's all comedy man i don't care and
your and your tour is like a stand up
comedy or is it like sketch comedy
last year it was more so like
it was like improv the whole show was like improv
and pretty much could have
been records we brought it to like all
four cities on stage yeah I tried out
a little bit of stand up but that's not like you know
I really didn't I'm not really too good
again you gotta stay in your lane yeah you gotta stay in your lane
know what you're good at and and just figure out from there.
I always was a big fan of Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis,
people that were really good comedic actors.
I've always been big on the skit acting and also actual acting in movies and shit.
That's just where my mind was always at.
Well, bro, you're absolutely phenomenal.
Hell yeah.
You got time to do
a quick YouTube video with us?
Yeah, I mean,
I thought that's
what the fuck we're doing.
Well, no, no, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What the hell are we doing right now?
We ain't doing nothing.
We got a series called
Answer the Internet.
It's like,
