I was so close last night to having what would have been maybe the best Barstool moment in history. We were. People don't realize this. Everyone last night was sitting at home, watching TV, maybe tucked into bed, just having a nice little night, not even realizing how close we were to the most ironic thing to ever happen to the internet. Last night, John Feidelberg

almost died in a tornado. We are being moved to a shelter in the airport. We've just been evacuated from the Sky Lounge. Our flight's been delayed three times. I made a guarantee to never die on a tornado. I'm going to do everything I can to stick to it. But there is a part of it that's out of my hands at this point.

It is the one thing. It was a bit tight, guys. It was a little tight. It's the one thing that John has ever truly taken a stand on. Everything else is like, I don't know, man. It's cool. It's not cool. I'll do it.

I won't do it. Whatever. The one thing John has definitively said on this show multiple times, I will not die in a tornado. And last night we came close. Last night, to be fair to me it was kind of out of my hands. Like if I was

in a building, if I was in... Oh here come the excuses. Here comes the excuse train on how it would be okay if you died in a tornado. No excuses necessary. I've survived it. I'm only more emboldened now. Tornado's even more pussy than I thought.

You had your shot tornado. You come at the king, you best not miss, Tornado But D, like, I was like If I was in a building, I'd go to the basement Or I'd fucking get in a car I was stuck in an airport, and they were like Yeah, well, what do you do? There's no basements in airports No, so Lot of windows

Owen did have the great idea we should get in a plane. Like on the ground. Yeah, and then if it comes and takes you, you can just fly. That's like when an escalator is broken. You just walk on it. Oh, no, this plane's in the sky. The best thing to be in when you're falling out of the sky is a plane. Pretty sound argument.

I mean, I feel like, yeah, I feel like it's almost like pushing a car and you jump start it kind of. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like the pilot could just be like, and you just start off and then you just go. Yeah, just board us. Just board us. Let's go. But we had heard a little whispers around the Chicago office that day. There was hail and tornadoes. Didn't really think anything of it.

Get to the airport. All's good for an hour. Amber alerts start going off. All of us just ignored that. Then the bartender in the Delta Lounge came. He's like, you guys got to get away from the windows. And we're like, okay. So we moved to the middle of the like delta lounge and they make an announcement like you guys gotta get out of delta lounge we're evacuating uh shelter in place or safe whatever it

is and they like evacuated to shelter which is just the concourse like it was just there really was anywhere they i thought they were like it's by gate13, and then we just sat there. But I had called my dad. And at this point, I'm not nervous nervous, but I do have in the back of my mind, if anyone's going to die here, it's going to be me. I've made the fucking promise I won't die. Of course it's going to come from me. I was 0% nervous.

I wasn't even thinking about it. I was just mad that we got kicked out of the Delta Lounge. And then a couple minutes passed and fights came over. I was like, so scale 1 to 10, how nervous are we? And I was like, I don't know. Should we be nervous? And he said a 4. And then I started getting really nervous.

Because you know a 4 means a 6. Right, right, right. But it's more like it's the script. We see these things all the time in the world. It's not that the like, the tornado. It could have been, like, a Category 1 or F1, however they do it, like the smallest one. But the script says that Feidelberg needs to die somehow. So it could be, like, one thing fell from the sky, bam, right in your head.

And when they got us away from windows, they didn't get us very far from windows. We were directly below windows. You can't get away from windows in airports. They're everywhere. So we were sitting there for like an hour. And I had called my dad earlier when I got to the airport. Just didn't know anything was going on. Just called him to chat.

He didn't answer. So he calls me back. And he was like, what's going on? And I said, nothing. What's up with you? And he's like, nothing. You don't sound so good. And I was like, well, I'm sheltered in place.

Because mind you, right? So I'm sitting on the ground. Amber Alerts are still aimlessly going off. It's not in unison like they were, but they're still. What's that about when that happens? Like what? They're less important or more important than me. They get a before after me. What the fuck's that? And so they? Like, what? They're less important or more important than me? They get a before or after me?

What the fuck's that? And so they're going off here and there, and then they're closing all the stores. All the stores in the airport are getting closed. Over the speaker isn't a tornado warning. It's a tornado is coming for the airport. Right. Seek safety. Is that a recording or a person talking?

I think it was a recording. But either way, it's like a – this is not like a – Yeah, it wasn't like tornado warning. It's a watch or a warning. There's a tornado coming. Get ready. So I'm sitting on the floor, and he's like, what's wrong? I was like, nothing, nothing.

It's like a tornado shelter thing. And he's like – What? He like he goes oh what are you doing and i was like i'm like sitting in the floor and like the shelter it was yeah i started reading gone girl because it's a lot like the movie. I was like, I know, Dad. I was so stressed out in the moment. I was like, dude, I know what the fucking book Gone Girl is like. He goes, it's a lot like the movie so far. I was like, it's going to be like the movie the whole time, dude.

The beginning, the middle, and the end of Gone Girl. Spoiler alert, bro. It's the same thing as Gone Girl. I'm about to die in a tornado, and that book is going to be just like the movie the whole time yo if that ain't the most father son conversation ever like in my in most cases I feel like you just wouldn't

even have a final conversation with your dad it would just be like I don't know I died dad sorry but in this case you're on the phone with him and he just blatantly ignores the shelter in place information he just received to talk about some random ass shit that even if he even if he was making sense would not have really been appropriate at the time it was hilarious i was like i i not that i wanted to have any kind i just i had a little stress going on about what was going on. I didn't want to talk, but I just wanted to not talk.

Right. And then he keeps going on. He's like – This guy seems a lot like Ben Affleck. I went to the library to get it. I was like, pretty good. Yeah, that's cool. I'll be honest.

That actually is a pretty crazy piece of information, going to the library. He's like, yeah, I've been trying to get into some new books. I usually read the same books a lot. A lot of grisham tom clancy i did the same as a kid i'm just going yeah yeah fucking windows are banging alarms are going off all right i'll catch you later dude dude that's so goddamn funny the only person who probably would have been like worse to call is polly she probably would have been worse to call is Polly. She probably would have been like, gotta go, click. I'm in the middle of my programs, bye. Man, I would have loved you to die in that tornado.

I know, it would have been really funny. I mean, truly, what a way to go. The exact way you said you wouldn't. The only problem with you dying of a tornado is that you wouldn't be alive for me to dunk on you. Yeah. Like you can't, you know, we would all do it. We'd have a fucking parade on your ass. I mean, Twitter would be exploding.

It would be lit up with dead John memes. The funeral would be great. Everybody would be crying. I'd be up there going, but I mean, come on. Pretty, pretty cool though, right? I told you. He called his shot, technically. I texted you. I was like, don't let me live this down yeah i mean i've died don't let me die a town don't let me die

this down bro uh i would have just loved for you then to just swoop up your brick ass you're just big fucking brolic ass just flying away in the fucking tornado. The only person. Just like a little skinny one rips through the fucking causeway. Pavs is fine. Owens is fine. John just ripped out of the fucking ceiling.

It was right after... We talked a little bit about the Combine last episode, but I didn't get the chance to see. I didn't realize we were streaming live in the moment so uh i mean the world reacting to your your bench was awesome trent just being like you're the strongest man alive you have no business like will is supposed to be like that you have no business being that strong look it's it's very impressive i almost challenge you like why why are you that strong it's insane like what's it what's the point of just being a normal person who's that you have

to go become like a wrestler or something now dude like you're just a blogger and a podcaster who can put up 45 on the bench like that's crazy yeah i i don't know i uh if i were you i that's like it's like if you if you're dieting and you have like a a goal right you want to like lose weight and you hop on the scale and you've already hit your weight you're just like i'm gonna stop my diet like yeah just stop working out you're strong enough that was bro there was a moment like probably like your sixth seventh one in the bar was like like like the weights were still going up while he was ready to go back down because he was throwing it off his chest like a bunch of people in the office like physically couldn't even like lift it once you were throwing it in the air

i've always been strong i don't know well and that's what's funny though because people were i guess you know we talk about you being like a mess. It's never been that, like, you're weak. It's that you're a mess. You know, you eat a lot of candy and your bed's a mess. But it's never been like John's not strong or in shape. But I guess because we talk that way, people assume you're not in shape. So then when they see you, they're like, what the fuck?

But to me, I'm like, yeah, I i don't know that's what my boy does but for them it must be like what the fuck like billy you know people come to expect billy had a serious conversation with me i mean he's like what was that what was that about right right right like because i didn't know i didn't know you like you you're the ultimate like uh be about it don't talk about it. You know what I mean? When it comes to that, like, Billy's always talking. Will we know? Like, I was over in the corner being like, my boy's going to beat all of you. And, you know, I don't know about those content reps. I certainly wasn't going to say anything, but some of those were a little.

But, man, that was fucking crazy to throw that weight around. I was like, holy shit dude the uh when when i was in miami the uh i we were on the boat and one of the guys just looks at me she goes jesus you're a big fucker yeah and i was like we that's actually we talked about some mostly sports where because he asked what i played and i was like he's like you play ball and i was like no i played hockey and blah, blah, blah. And then we started talking about, I told him I played all the sports. Wait, who?

Just one of the guys from Ireland. Got it, got it, got it. I just told him I played like every sport. Yeah. And he was like, he thought that was so cool. Because he's like, in Ireland, all we can play is soccer. Soccer, yeah. And that never crossed my mind that you can't.

It's not even an option. You just don't get to play anything else. Right, right. He's like, when you get a little older, you can play rugby. But he's like, that's basically it. I was about to say, I was thinking to myself, what would you have been really good at? Oh, it was a long conversation. You would have been.

It was the talk of the boat. Awesome. Oh, you'd be a great tight head. And I was like, a tight end? Tight head. And I was like, a tight end? I was. And I was like, I did play tight end. You play rugby? And I was like, no.

No, no, no. Tight head. Because you played football. You were probably pretty good, right? Whatever. Not really. I didn't care for football. Right, whatever.

I think you would have been great at rugby. Because rugby is roughhousing in a sport. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's what you love to do, just fucking around and wrestling, turned into a game with winners and losers. And you would excel at that better than anybody. That's a very good point. You would be.

I would have enjoyed that quite a bit. And you don't, you know, you got to be fast, but it's not like football. You have to be like wide receiver fast. You know, you got to be good, but not like, know it's it's just like they would have handed you the ball and you would have just fucking ran through it like a goddamn freight train i don't i don't know exactly what the tight head does it's number three and they were like you would have been great like they were bringing up pictures of the tight head like wouldn't you look like him right yeah yeah just a tight but that but what you said is is true this was uh what i was gonna say before you i think it's the feidelberg clan like i think you guys are just yeah it's genetics but but like

it's genetics and and lifestyle like like you've always said how you were in the gym from like you know day one because you were like in daycare there but it's also more of just like i think you just saw your dad and saw the gym and you're just like this is what i do like this is what we do it's like you know we farm potatoes and we lift shit like that's what vital birds do and so like it was just never not an option for you there was never going to be a puny vital bird boys or girls none of them you know what i mean like you guys are just the it's it's uh it's like in um it's like in uh wedding crashers when when uh when uh chris chris uh fuck god i'm really going to mention christopher walken's like it's five generations of big family breeding or whatever

he says family breed yeah like you guys have just been bred this way and even if you didn't work out i think you would just always have been like a boulder. You're just – he's made of stone, folks. And, you know, I mean, flexibility out the window. None of that shit. I think the most impressive thing I did was my vertical. I didn't see it, but you told me you did well. I came in second.

There was also – I don't want to burst your bubble, but there was, was it all relative? Did they do the math right? Oh, I came in second in my heat. The two groups were definitely measured differently, but in my heat. When I saw what Francis jumped on versus what you guys jumped on, I was like, and the fact that Francis was still, yeah. How many of the markers did you hit? Bro. But ours was much lower.

But still. Okay, still. You were worried about that. I think it was 18 or 19. You were worried about that. I think it was 18 or 19. You were worried about the jump. Yeah. So how did you not advance?

I'd suck at everything else. But you, I mean, there was only four events and you crushed two of them. I did really bad. The passing nobody did well at. The passing people in my group did well. Oh. I did not. That I thought I was going to do well in and then the ball sucked so bad.

The ball sucked so bad, dude. How are we using plastic footballs for... Yeah, the ball, that was... They were literally like for show footballs, like plastic branded, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Where you just put it for a podcast on the couch rather than footballs you play with. That was insane. That one went over on the...

Okay, let's see this. Fucking... Yeah, that is lower, but it doesn't matter because, like you said,. That was insane. That one went over on the fucking... Okay, let's see this. Yeah, that is lower, but it doesn't matter because, like you said, it's all relative. I knew you were going to be good at this, too. I don't doubt you on anything

when it comes to physical ability because you work out and you jump rope. Why would you think you're not going to be good at jumping? I don't jump as high as I can. Bro, you're working out your calves all the time.

Look at your calves. They're fucking huge. Dude, you didn't even you didn't even uh step yeah no we we couldn't step oh our group we allowed everyone was taking steps and uh i i couldn't step i think i get like one or two more bro like yeah i don't i don't get it i i think there was some funny work with the scoring there. Oh, four more. Never mind. Yeah, bro. Are you kidding me? They put our shit so high. Francis was the only one who was able to get a bunch.

I don't think anybody got into the red except for Francis. Yeah. That was a little bit – when we were going – what's his name? Lance? Clay Harbor. Clay. I don't know why I thought it was Lance. Clay was. Clay. I don't know why I thought it was Lance. Clay was facilitating hours.

And he was putting the thing up. And he was holding a hockey stick. And he was going, that one's six inches. Oh, he didn't know what was going on. And then so if that's going to be zero, so we'll start. How about we just count the number of things that you hit? I was like, yeah, sounds good. I don't think we know what we're talking about here.

Anyway, I don't really care what the results were. I still say, if you're looking for best well-rounded physical specimen, literally well-rounded boulder, that's his shape. He's just fucking brolic made from stone um that you know what that's why that tornado like that tornado would have been like i can't pick him up i'm trying owen would have been flying away you would have just been locked to the ground hold on to handrails i was ready to lock in i was gonna think if i if i was ever in a tornado and they said grab something like grounded i think i would

just grab fidelberg i would just hold on to his leg like like jeff van gundy and alonzo morning and john could just stand there and not fly away cars zipping by cows flying by fidelberg just stayed on the ground and so did i this is like nice kind of but also mostly mean like when it got to cows flying This is, like, nice, kind of, but also mostly mean. Like, when it got to cows flying. Too far. Too far. Strong and sturdy. Too far.

Cows flying. Twister. Yo, by the way, new Twister coming out this year. Yeah, it's a show, though, right? Oh, is it? I think it's a show. I could be wrong on that. Paul, what are the new kids?ister coming out this year. Yeah, it's a show, though, right? Oh, is it? I think it's a show. I could be wrong on that. Paul, what are the new kids?

Glenn Powell's in it. Yeah. That's going to be good, whatever it is. Yeah. I hope it's a movie, though, because of, I mean, a show. I think it's a show. Every episode, we're chasing another one? I don't know.

Is it a show? No. That seems like a miss in my mind, because it is a little bit redundant. I guess it's like those... It's just a sequel. So, all right, just a sequel. Okay, what else we got? You got anything?

I got some news, but we can... No, let's go with you. We got new court cases against Diddy, which one of them is just genuinely, truly awful. I mean, they all are, but one of them is particularly heinous. It's a 17-year-old girl, Jane Doe, saying that she was raped by Diddy

and, like, multiple people at the same time. Just, like, truly horrific. Uh, and then there's a second case. I think there's three total right now that all just came out. Um, they dropped, like, an album. There's, like like three new cases dropped on diddy and this one is from a producer uh lil rod is his name rodney jones who just produced on his latest album and the the court case says and this is this is his this is the

plaintiff saying what his case is it has not gone to court nothing has been proven true or untrue yet but he alleges that like diddy grabbed genitals, tried to force him into sex with sex workers, tried to pay him, I think, with drugs and sex, being like, you made this beat. He was like a hooker. And he was like, I want money. And he tried to force him into sex. I don't know. I miss bartering.

I was going to say, listen, to each their own. You make the offer. I've heard of that all the time. I've heard comedians being offered blow instead of shit from clubs. If you don't want it if you don't want it you don't want it uh but you know like forcing me into sex trying to make me have sex with him trying to make me have sex with other men and in this court doc i thought this was fake i really did i dj academics was reading it on his page and i was i was like there's no fucking way this is real. Page 13 of the court document says, Mr. Combs told Mr. Jones that he engaged in sexual activity

with a rapper redacted and an R&B singer redacted with two footnotes. And on the bottom of the page, the footnotes say, he's a Philadelphia rapper who dated Nicki Minaj and it's an R&B singer who just performed at the Super Bowl and has a Vegas residency. Why so much information in a book? I was going to say, he's a size 10 shoe and he likes to wear roller skates.

What's the point of redacting if you're then just going to give 20 question hints at the bottom? So I thought this can't be real. I still, I guess, technically don't know. But I was on digitalmusicnews.com, and they have a hyperlink, and it has this document that's like Jones v. Combs, State of New York, 73 pages. It certainly looks all legitimate.

Is this producer also suck Obama's dick? Could be. You never know. Is this just the same – did this producer also suck Obama's dick? Could be. You never know. It just – this feels like – Well, but I mean does it? Because the other side of it is like I think Diddy – like I would believe almost anything about Diddy right now. Yeah, I think it's just like –

And I also think this guy was like he didn't pay me, so there is like some disgruntled shit. But also then why throw Meek and Usher under the bus? Yeah, I just, I, anything is possible, I would be shocked,

if all of these straight men, are just fucking each other. That'd be pretty crazy, right? Just a bunch of straight dudes, all fucking and raping each other, that'd be pretty nuts. The only thing I'll say,

is there has always been rumors, about Diddy, there was always rumors, about Diddy. There was always rumors about Usher with, like, Bieber. And, like, there was rumors about Usher and Diddy.

And then there was rumors about Usher and Bieber. But I feel like rumors come about with stuff like that any time, like, an adult is managing a child. That's when these things are not gonna happen.

And then there's, like, you know, there's a video of Meek Mill in Diddy's pool that makes the rounds every time where Diddy's like you know there's a video of meek mill in diddy's pool that makes the rounds every time uh where diddy's like how you doing daddy and like daddy just means something totally different now yeah back then it was like what's up daddy you know now daddy is like it means like we were having sex but um so either way though real fake real, fake, otherwise, like, that's fucked up.

If you're redacted, you're redacted. Yeah. Like, what the fuck, man? Usher and Meek Mill got to be like, what the fuck? It must suck, too. Like, being in the celebrity life, you party a lot, right? And you've done a lot of drugs, probably, and drank a lot, right? And you've done a lot of drugs probably and drank a lot. Imagine being Meek and Usher today

and being like, what the fuck, man? I don't think so. I mean, I was at that party. I was pretty fucked up. But I think I would remember. And he's like, son of a bitch. And I fucked Eddie.

God damn it. Did a lot of coke that night. I mean... Dude, i would be so pissed so bro there's there there's so many nights where you're like you like you fucked any that night i don't think so but if it's an illegal document i might have that's hank with the pirate porn. I'm 99% sure I didn't,

but who knows, man. Look, man, that'd be pretty out of character, but I guess it's possible. I mean, it also says that he, Mr. Jones, the plaintiff, says that Mr. Combs told me, so I don't know. Diddy could also just be... That part could be true, that Diddy said that.

No, no, no, I fuck a bunch of straight guys you like me you like usher i fucked him too uh but of course you know it's like we probably come on the the real story is you know the 17 year old which that one probably is true because he's uh you know known to be a sick fuck. But yeah, tough day in the papers for Meek Mill and Usher. Unless it is just true. I mean, how crazy would that be if a bunch of rappers were like, yeah, no, but we just...

Like, yeah, we have a persona and all that, but we fuck each other. What? What? All the legends did it, dude. Come on. Come on. I mean, it would be

Trying to live in Prince's shoes Yeah I was gonna say The Paisley Palace If you told me Prince and David Bowie And the Stones And all these rock stars Lenny Kravitz

We talk about that all the time Those guys fuck guys All the time No big deal Rappers it was You know we would never see it coming But it's kind of the same thing They're you know

They're cousins basically Rock and roll and rap It's all the same shit I love that If like Meek's next interview is like who are your heroes harvey milk greg luganis i've always loved freddie mercury uh that's really who i strive my career after oh man tough tough day i what do you even do? I'm always torn. I think when people say, I'm not even dignifying that with a response,

it's like, you did that shit. You did that shit. But that's, it's just, whatever you want to believe, their response just cements what you believe. It's a lose-lose. Yeah, like, if someone said that Diddy fucked me,

I would be on the internet that minute going yo did he did not fuck me i wouldn't go these rumors are so silly i'm not even gonna talk about it but some people do that yeah i i uh i don't know i guess one of them then they go oh he's you know whoever denied it supplied it sort of thing it's like well yeah we've been doing this since farts whoever smelled it dealt it whoever denied either, you know, you're not going to win. So I can understand why people then just say, all right, then I'm not going to say anything. But to me, I would go down swinging.

I'd go down saying, like, it's not true. And if you believe the opposite of what I said, fine. But I'm not leaving it up into interpretation if it's 100% false. Yeah. No, you just tweet the hand clip. I'm 99.9% sure. I actually probably would do that.

I think the best way to do it is to have fun with it. Yeah. Like, I don't think I fucked Diddy. I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure I didn't. He's referring to contract negotiations. He has screwed me many a time. Yeah.

I mean, in that regard, Diddy fucked everybody on his label. So maybe that's what he meant. I had sexual intercourse with those guys. I fucked them. I own them for the next ten albums. What else did we get? How was your FAN appearance? Ah, that's what I was going to say.

Yeah, last week, if you're listening to this on Thursday, last week I was on the WFAN morning show filling in for the legend Boomer Esiason, which was a very big bucket list thing for myself. And I think I have over the last several years of just like the Internet evolving and everything growing at Barstool, I guess I started to think that other people wouldn't care as much. But out of all the things I've probably done in my career, that appearance, I think, got the most DMs, texts, feedback, response, people being like, you know, I heard you, my mom heard you, my dad said you did good, like all ages, all different types of people, which is a testament to what those guys are doing over at WFAN still. The morning show has always been the number one morning show, I think, in the country when it was Boomer and Carton,

and then Carton moved on and Greg Giannotti took over, and that's the guy I did the show with. Was Carton Giannotti? He's there, right? He was there, but he went to Fox Sports. He was doing both. He was doing, for a while, once he got out of prison, he was doing morning, midday radio, I think, into, like, afternoon TV.

It was, like, the longest day of all time. And then I think he just went full Fox Sports 1. He has his own show. But, yeah, so Boomer and Gio are still, like, you know, terrestrial radio people. It's like not what it used to be. Those guys are still what it used to be. Because like I said, we've done interviews with people.

We've made appearances on shows. We've done a lot of top notch stuff that did not get a response like this. So those guys are still like absolutely killing it. And it was all it was a good reminder or not even a reminder but more of like an epiphany that like on the internet on social media and podcasts and all these and all these platforms we're always saying like this is dead or that's dead and this is the future and this is what you got to focus on but we're just the assholes on the internet yeah so we're all whether it's this platform that platform that social media app this long form short form we're still like assholes in one gigantic echo chamber yeah

saying like you know terrestrial radio is dead well i did morning radio and like i said got more of a response than anything i've ever done on the internet so maybe you know of course the internet is the future but there's still a lot of fucking people driving in the car or turning the dial on a radio or on the app listening to a live radio i mean it's it was i was it was a very like eye-opening experience i was like wait a minute not everything needs to be like let's let's do tiktok let's do the next thing let's like can if you can just do your one medium and your platform well like you'll probably you know you can do that for a long fucking time so does it turn out we have

our heads up our own asses who knew here who knew that everyone on the internet is an absolute dickhead a high horse sanctimonious dickhead smelling their own farts it is like if you do this you've been in cars before, all of them have radios. All of them. And like, you know, there's something about... You see what the highway looks like. There's a lot of cars on that highway. A lot of cars.

And for every like one or two assholes like me being like, what's the new app? What's the new platform? What's the new thing? There's probably a thousand people who are like... I'll take the 97 camry please right put on there are probably people who still listen to wfan on am like you can stream it now you can go to fm now but there's probably people who are still 660 with the crackling like sound and all that shit

right it's like it's just it's still you know we're not that far removed from when that was you know king and and that that appearance that show basically still is king i think you know geo was saying they've been number one 10 straight books which is like multiple years i think it's quarterly so it's like two and a half years of them just being number one every single time so if i were to do that i would 100 sleep through it i can't believe you got up early 4 a.m i i told them i said truly genuinely literally they they are the only people i would do that for i wouldn't do it for a guest on our show i wouldn't do it for any other radio show i wouldn't even do it for another like it had to be the morning show that i would do it for on wfan well yeah but you know

what i mean like like if there was some sort of before i am for the morning but if like if it was if it was a different group of morning show guys you know uh but i mean i woke up it was pitch black and you know because you got to get there a little bit early bro the producer eddie's cause gary eddie's eddie's cause arie. Like, best producer in the game. Has this enormous board. He's like the Mozart of radio drops. Just constantly has, like, all these perfectly timed drops for whenever somebody brings up a joke that it fits. Like, he is an artist, right? So, he takes it very seriously, obviously.

He's the number one producer of the number one show. He goes to bed at 5 p.m. every day. 5 o'clock. Bro, in the summertime, there's like three and a half more hours of sunshine. He has to spend 40% of his salary on blackout curtains. Probably. For real. Like he's got to have like a basement that he sleeps in.

The summer months he sleeps in the basement. Yeah. 5 p.m. wakes up at 1, watches the sports center, the last sports center of the day, and the SNY wrap-up for the regional local sports so he knows everything that happened in the games, gets to the studio at 3

to prepare for 6. I don't know why he's there 3 hours. Yeah. That sounds a little crazy. Eddie's, like I said, he's the best in the business, so maybe that's what you got to do to be, he might be helping other shows the overnight, i don't know why he's there three hours yeah that sounds a little crazy eddie's like i said he's the best in the business so maybe that's what you got to do to be he might be helping other shows the overnight i don't know but i do think that is a crazy thing about radio that like people will listen to the radio and get super worked up about the people who didn't

watch the game yeah yeah well but but so i mean eddie does that boomer calls the games right boomer will do like the like monday night football and be on the radio at 6 a.m tuesday and like fly back across it's you know that guy that guy's crazy i keep saying every year and every time i i link up with these guys again every time i'm going it's gotta be the last year for boomer right like he's just you know he's older he's got grandkids like who would do all this stuff and and they just keep you just keep going yeah uh i mean he's awesome man it's not like he needs to retire but i just if i was him i would want to retire by now uh but i i think uh geo was saying he goes to bed by like he said in in the wind in the summer it's different because he's like i'll i'll i have

a social life i'll go out a little barbecue and then he just kind of powers through it in the summer it's different because he's like, I have a social life. I'll go out, a little barbecue, and then he just kind of powers through it. In the winter, though, he said he'll try to nap during the day if he can, and then he goes to bed at like 9. So you can catch like an hour of the game. Yeah, that's crazy. And I know it's just the spirit of arguing. But if I were to call somebody, like a buddy of mine, and he's like, I didn't catch the game, you want to talk about it like well yeah because you can talk about it you

can talk about the you know overarching things yeah but it's like you know if you're saying this guy's a bad manager it's like you aren't even you know you don't even know what the situation was when he pulled that guy from the bullpen you know what i mean or whatever you're and i don't mean to like it's just what's what sports talk radio is, but like, when it is something like that, where it's like, in the moment.

You didn't feel the game. Right. Now, it's hard to, maybe the hosts do though. I don't know. I might, you know what I mean?

I'm not trying, I'm speaking, not speaking of that show, I'm speaking largely, larger to sports radio as a whole. Because I know, I know Maz has said that before. Like Maz is like, I get in on, and they have have like a half hour highlight package for me and stuff like that

and i'm like i don't i don't think that counts that you again you can do the broad shit but if you're gonna criticize someone like in an individual performance it's like how could you miss that shot it's like well if you had realized that like the play before he got hacked and he was you know limping up the court, whatever it is. I'm sure they know that, but then a lot of what you're arguing about is, and again, I'm speaking to Matt, and just in general, but you're arguing what someone told you.

And it's like, well, I don't know. You don't know what that person, is that person reliable? Yeah. I mean, it's also... It's kind of like what I always say when we were out in Minnesota and we were out with the CBS producers. I'll never forget that when they were like we don't even know what we're talking

about yeah and they were like you guys talk sports and like not really not like you guys we don't know like you guys like we don't know let's show business nobody knows anything the people who know shit are like the frank the tanks you know what i mean the people who are just like sitting there watching every single pitch every single single shot, every single everything. When you're a big-time TV star, you're not sitting around watching four-hour games and shit. I'm a fucking ditty. Right. You want to get rich and famous, Stan, and also watch sports?

No, Thank you. The biggest thing to come from the morning show appearance, though, is I just – I don't know why. I just didn't tell my mom. My mom is like a WFAN junkie. Like she's part of the reason why I listened and like sports and all that shit and like Francesa and Boomer and Carton and all that. And I talked to her like every day and I just like didn't bring it up. And then it was kind of too late to bring it up. And I know she doesn't get up like that early in the morning. So I was like,

if I tell her now she's going to be like, what the fuck? You know, now I have to wake up early and you know, you ruined my week. But I, I, so I texted her like eight o'clock in the morning being like,

by the way, I'm on the fan today. And she, I right away, I saw the three bubbles and I was like, fuck, she's up. And she wrote back like, I know i'm on the fan today and she i right away i saw the three bubbles and i was like fuck she's up and she wrote back like i know i'm the last person to find out why didn't you tell i mean i don't know i don't know i don't know i i actually like i it was one of those things i booked it i told you guys about it but like we were doing other shit and I kind of forgot about it for a minute. And then like that,

I remember like that, that Wednesday night, Wednesday afternoon when I got home, I was like, oh shit. I was like, let me set an alarm right now because for a second I was like, oh, my week is done because we didn't have anything to film

the rest of the week. Was it Thursday or Friday? I did it Thursday. So we finished up the Wednesday recording and I said like, are we done? Like, yeah, we don't have anything the rest of the week and i was like amazing four-day weekend and i was like wait a minute no it's not so it was like kind of in and out of my head and i've been talking to talking to my mom about her uh my sister's new baby and all this other shit we just weren't

talking about like me and work so i just forgot to kind of i don't know it's it was just it was it was pure dumb, man brain. There was no reason behind it. I didn't do it on purpose. I just forgot. I do it on purpose a lot. I don't tell people good things. People think things I'm happy about.

No, this is something I would have. I just don't know. Why do you do that? That's interesting. Let's open that up, you depressed motherfucker. I really felt like you were going to be like, that's what it was. Thought I was coming to a fun group. I was opening the door for you to be like, just admit it, dude.

No, because if anything, my mom is the type, like, if I ever call her and I'm like, work today. She goes, I can't handle that right now. She's like, it's past five o'clock. I'm having my cocktail. I don't want to hear any bad news. Like we can talk about it in the morning, but not right now.

I can't take on any more bad news. So I'm always sure to tell her when things are good. Cause she's convinced that like for the last like 10 years, she's convinced that like, I'm going to lose my job any minute. So I'm always telling her, I was always saying the N word on the phone. It's going to slip one job any minute. So I'm always telling her. Kevin's always saying the N-word on the phone. It's going to slip one day.

No, she'd be like, wait, you get fired for that? So ordinarily I would tell her, but that was just me being stupid. And also it did get to a point once I realized it, for some reason I was like, it's too late now. That was a thing. And that was dumb too. But if it was the night before. Well, but I had just spoken to her.

It was dumb. I don't know. I should have just called back and said, by the way. You know? And I just didn't do it. I do that with all sorts of things, though. Good news or bad news. No, it's usually just bad news.

I will, if it's bad news, if it's something that's going to get me in trouble, if it's something that's going to hurt somebody's feelings or make things bad for them, or if it's something like, you know, I fucked up, like I double booked and it's like, oh, I told you I could go to this and now I can't, but whatever it is, those like four or five kind of things. Once I realized it, the absolute best way to handle that with a coworker, a relationship, friends, family, the best way to do it is to tell them right away yeah you know give them the most time to plan or cancel or switch give them the

most time to adjust to it or react to it that's the mature adult thing to do and every single time i just push to the side and i'm like maybe uh a meteor will hit the earth tomorrow and i and we won't this we won't even that'll ever happen why why am i gonna shoot myself in the foot and get in trouble and have the argument or make someone upset when maybe this thing never even comes to fruition it's a week away it's a week away maybe i'll just get out of it by next thursday you know and then wednesday night comes around i'm like nope i am the living embodiment of that tweet of like well well well if it isn't the uh consequences of my own actions so i but i know that i do and i know it's like i i have like a a mental i have

a mental problem like i cannot tell people bad news or or like i can't do it i just won't do it and i'm and i know it obviously about myself and and i still i'm like nope not gonna do it not gonna do it so that i know about myself but but good news is maybe even a step further crazy because what's what's what do you think you're bragging or something bragging okay yeah that i can understand people look if it's good enough news but you know i mean take a look at yourself what what's there to brag about got your i think you're oh wait you got your KFC bucket hat on and you can lift 135 a lot. You're not bragging too much. Okay, pal?

I think good news feels braggy. Or not good news. Good things feels braggy and bad things feels whiny. So you're just fine. Just tell me you're fine. That, my friends, is called being Irish. Well, I'm glad you said it actually. This will be the last time I mention that I was with Irish people all weekend.

But they were talking at dinner, and they were talking about one of their buddy's dads had come out as gay. Oh. And these are, like, from Ireland, right? Yeah. And so I was like, oh, is that, like, still, like, a big thing over there? And they weren't saying it, like, they weren't, like, gossiping. They were just mentioning that it happened. And I was like,

is that still like a kind of like people that kind of live in the closet? Cause I was like, I know what happens here in like very religious places and everywhere, I'm sure. But like particularly in like very religious places, people are reluctant to come out of the closet. And they were like, no,

no, no, no, it's not a problem at all. It's really, I was like, I thought Ireland was very, you know what I would guess it is?

I would guess it's a lot like Italians, that, like, Italian-Americans are, like, the guidos and shit. Yeah. And Italians are different, you know what I mean? Like, the Irish-Americans are the people who are, like, stubborn, fucked up mentally, you know, emotionally stunted assholes, but regular Irish people are probably just like,

no, no, no, we're normal. Yeah, they were, like, they were, like, they're, like it's not even it's the country isn't very religious anymore and i was like really and they said that the this they're like really extremism of any kind is frowned upon and i was like well welcome to america i was gonna say that's yeah yeah they were like were like, if you're super Catholic, you're kind of like an outcast. If you're super atheist, you're a bit of an outcast. They're like, if you're super rich, you're an outcast. If you're super poor, we give you some money.

Make sure you're not super poor. It's a pretty awesome way to live. Yeah, I was like, you're... I was like, it sounds like you're describing the greatest country ever. Bro, it's every... It's like every other country. It's like just us. It's so embarrassing. One of the guys was like, he's like every other country. It's just us. It's so embarrassing.

One of the guys was like, he lives in England, and he's like, I was going to get a Porsche, and my mom called me and was like, Don't do it. You can't be having a Porsche over there. If they find out that my son's living over in London

driving a Porsche, I'll never get over it. And I was like, so what'd you do? He was like, I got an audi great story it's a great story but it's a good one man because because that's also like you know an audi is still you're still living a great life still driving an awesome car you don't have to be like the total douchebag about it that is uh i can't decide whether i mean i know

for myself personally the way that like Europe and the rest of the world and everything you just described is, I would rather live that life. But. Socialist. Yeah. That's what I mean. Yeah!

Right. Right. But that's where I say like, so me personally, yes, that sounds great. Me, like on a big scale, sometimes I it's pretty cool in america that we're like pedal to the metal all the fucking time you know what i mean it's like it's like uh i don't know yeah like but we'll be the billionaires i don't know it's it's it's like sometimes i think it's better it's good to be like as as you know hell-bent on success and stuff as we are, but not me personally. But I think a country having that reputation

is not necessarily the worst thing in the world. All the reputational shit about America sucks, but when everyone's like, yeah, everyone in Europe takes naps and takes vacations 10 weeks a year and doesn't work hard, I'm like, I don't know. That doesn't sound like the best thing to brag about.

You know what I mean? But when you describe it another way, like, yeah, me and my wife took a month off and we just woke up every day and we're like, where do you want to drive today? And they just went to a new town. I struggle so mightily with that now. Especially now, like, we're not doing radio.

The schedule, well, our schedule has been fucking crazy the last couple months, but, like, it's slowed down little bit and then when there are days where it's just like you don't have to do anything right now i like i freak out do something i know i know but like i i need uh it's it's tough with my schedule like i wish I need to like take a real vacation and then I feel guilty about my kids. There's always like something lurking, like a, like two days from now.

You know what I mean? So it's like, I can go to like Florida for two days. I need to like, but yeah, I, uh, but I also don't like doing things.

It's the two on the shoulder. It's the old Caribbean-esque deal. Yeah, but yeah, that lifestyle is, I think, one that's catching up with America pretty quickly. I was reading about international basketball. It kind of goes along the same lines as that in a similar kind of goes along the same lines as that in a similar kind of parallel well way where they said uh europe like uh or non-american players are like absolutely

playing a better brand of basketball at a younger age and it's just that they practice right they said they said it oversees it's four to five practices per one game. And it's completely flipped here. Yeah. Which is like – but even that, like, I would think – Which makes – I mean, that's how I grew up playing sports is, like, you have three or four practices a week, you play a game on the weekend. I'm trying to remember.

I feel like basketball, we played a lot of games. Yeah. But we had practice every day, so it was five practices a week of games yeah but we had we had practice every day so it was five practices a week no well i mean we had something every day so it was either practice or a game every day of the of the week we probably practiced it was probably three and two in one game we probably had three to two i would guess and then maybe like a weekend tournament here and there but i i don't think that's a bad thing I think it's that the way the games are played because I I don't know part of me feels like the best way to get better

is to like play have like live action rather than just drills certain things you need to work on refine your skills and all that but I think the real problem is that like the games are like

these aau games that are being filmed and fucking instagram accounts and everyone is specifically basketball but everything's like iso and like handles and like europeans are like we pass the ball yeah like every single stud not every single stud but the majority of these like high school kids that you learned about within the past like three years they went to college and then they went to the NBA and they were mediocre, both of them. All the time. But as a kid, you're like, this is going to be the greatest basketball player I've ever seen in my life. Right. And then these people you don't hear of, obviously, because they're from Europe or other countries,

they come in and they're so much better. The brand of basketball that's probably been played with in the past five years that happened, it's so bad. And it's like I could see a world in 10 years where American basketball players are not non-existent, but like in the All-Star game you will see 75% Europeans and maybe a couple of Americans. Which is so embarrassing because like we had the biggest head start. Well, Adam Silver recognized that, right? They're implementing like some kind of player development league yeah but it's gotta it's gotta be like well before the fucking nba gets involved yeah you know what i mean no it's for kids yeah yeah like your local coach is just like some fucking dickhead yeah

you know it's like so i'm coaching tonight the uh the head coach is is away and i'm like the the default coach. I mean, we're talking about six-year-olds. I play games with them and shit. Luka would have passed. There's a kid named Luka. It's funny. Yeah.

So I don't know what to do because playing in this league, first of all, it's 10-foot hoops. Crazy. I would never have signed him up for it if I didn't know there were eight-foot hoops. A six-year-old playing on a 10-foot hoop is insane i've said this before lebron james and my son play on the same hoop fucking nuts he's like one of the only kids that can get it up there he has to heave the ball the scores are like four to two every game but my team our team is the only team that doesn't travel and double dribble.

Everyone else, they double dribble the whole fucking game. Like, they just dribble. They get stuck in a corner. They just run around. A person just starts dribbling again. And I think tonight I'm going to tell these kids to just fucking double dribble. I'm like, we're the only team in the league. You're going to coach one night and ruin all their fundamentals?

We're the only team, though. Ball security. These kids are not having any fun because they come across half court. The defense jumps up on them. They stop their dribble because they don't know how to fucking do it yet. They get double and triple teamed, and they're, like, leaning, and they throw a pass. That sucks.

And the ball gets stolen, and then they're back on defense. It sucks. When I'm like, if you just started dribbling again, you would have had like an open layup. So I think I'm just going to be like, fuck these refs, man. These refs aren't going to call that shit, yo. Like just fucking dribble again. You're on full Mac. For real.

Yeah. Yeah. Exactly that. Exactly that. Put fucking pins in their armbands. Hey, you should wear Timbs today, Luca. I'm telling Keegan to like like, Steph Curry this shit. You've got to cross half court, just shoot it.

Just throw it. And dribble as many fucking times as you want to. But, yeah. You're going to be the dad that has the kids on the team furious with you. Like, I remember, like, I had a kid's dad who would be at games, and he'd always be on shootout. Like, shut the fuck up! I remember I had a kid's dad who would be at games, and he'd always be on shootout. He'd be like, shut the fuck up!

It's funny. Chris shoots the puck every time he has it! Every parent, it is funny, every parent is yelling at their kids to shoot. It's so funny. Because it's just so stupid at this level, and it's like we just want all of our kids to get one basket and go home happy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But back to the real basketball stuff like i remember i think luca said at first maybe yokich um there's a couple other like european guys i remember when they were like you know first in the league like 20 years old they were like this is easier it was luca who said he said scoring's much easier yeah yeah because uh. Because no one plays defense. But I think, like, in general, like, those guys are playing with, like, grown men. And maybe they're not, like, you know, college superstars. But you're playing against some, like, Yugoslavian fucking farmer who's, like, bodying you. And, like, you know, you're not playing against, like, finesse superstars.

So when you come over here and it's, like, I don't know. Okay, that guy has some handles. And that guy, like, you know, like you know james harden can like iso it's like but like the rest of the game is easier because i'm playing against like you know divas over here and and now but now the skill still used to like balance it out now if those guys get skilled it's like fucking forget about it so i don't know that's that'll be quite embarrassing if the league is just like but that's been a long time coming right when was the first time the usa lost the olympics like 15 years ago yeah but like when we lost that one we didn't we like didn't send our best over it was kind of like

we had won so many times but it was still like mellow right like it was our yeah it was it was our but like once we sent over two, but like the next time around, we fucking demolished everything. But then we've lost like FIBA recently, haven't we? Yeah, so that's all starting to come around a little bit. I just saw a video on Instagram about, I don't know which Olympic team it was, which year it was, but they were in Vegas practicing, I guess, before they went overseas.

And the whole team went out. And they were coming back in at 5.30 in the morning. And Kobe was leaving the hotel to go to the gym. Kobe was such an asshole. Kobe was so that guy that all the other players were like, fuck. Because they were like, what are you doing, dude? And he was like, I'm going to the gym. What are you guys doing?

And the next day, LeBron and Wade joined him. And the third day, four more joined him. And they said by the end of the week, everybody was at the gym at 5 a.m. practicing. And it's awesome. And that's the way it should be. But also he's the guy where it's like, God damn it, dude.

You did extra homework. You're making us all look bad. But yeah, that year that, yeah, Argentina beat us, right? I think it was like Carlos Boozer. It's still LeBron, Wade, and Melo. Those are all young LeBron. I think I saw Tim Duncan.

Duncan, Richard, but yeah, Richard Jefferson. Yeah, see, I feel like that picture right there, I feel like Richard Jefferson, Stefan Marbury, and Melo were getting a lot of touches. You know what I mean? I feel like a lot of those Marbury, and Melo were getting a lot of touches. You know what I mean? I feel like a lot of those other guys were coming off the finals, played all playoffs. I don't know. Or maybe they just got straight up beat.

But I do remember, I feel like the next time around, the Redeem team was like massacres left and right. And it's still really more like hockey with Canada versus the world, right? No, it's Canada versus the world. No. USA versus the world? No. Hockey's got teams. Yeah, because this is still like...

Canada wins a lot of the time, but like USA, Sweden, Finland, Russia. They all have good players. Because this is all... I feel like if you put Jokic and Luka... Those guys are all in different countries. If they were all in one,'d be like fucking incredible but it's still kind of spread out once it gets to the point where every country can ball it's gonna be

I work for a state government and last fall the governor of the state moved into our office. So a few weeks ago I go to go to the bathroom and as I'm walking towards the urinal

the governor is walking away. I polite nod that whole thing he then proceeds to have a three-minute conversation with me while i'm trying to piss um not just the nice weather that whole thing he asked me questions about which department i work for all that shit awkward as hell i obviously he's done washing his hands at this point, and I can see my peripherals. He's just looking at me while he's talking. So awkward, so uncomfortable. I couldn't piss until he left. And so then this then happened four out of five days the following week. Just unbelievable coincidence. Conversation every time. Don't think he remembered who the fuck I was, which is a good thing but what is the most awkward encounter you have had with someone in power um i don't understand p shy people

maybe it's because i guess i've said i mean i understand people who don't want to have a conversation yeah but i mean like i could piss i got a problem pissing yeah i don't have a problem that either i i'm with you on that like tommy smokes is like grow up tommy smokes like can't pee if there's someone within like 100 yards if i go to the bathroom it's because i have to go to the bathroom yeah i'm gonna piss is coming yeah it's it's it's you know my bladder's decision it's not it's not like it's not like when i decide to pee i'm like okay let me find i'm not no one around. My bitch is falling out of me. I think it's just like the levees have broken.

The girls, it's literally falling out of them. But for us, it's, yeah, the pipe is broken. By the way, I wouldn't love it, but it does sound like a pretty genuine and kind governor. like this son of a bitch like elected official trying to find out about me and my life he's taking interest in you right like four or

five days sounds insane though that's nuts if you're just four or five days if you i don't even care if it's if it's a governor or a fucking intern if four out of five days you run into someone in the bathroom that's an anomaly that's crazy's crazy. By the third day, I'd be like, yo, this is nuts. I did it with someone recently. We were on the exact same P schedule. I forget who it was. Like three times that day. We were just like walking in at the same time.

I mean, that's nuts. Especially with you. Yeah, yeah. Oh, so you also drink 94 ounces of water a week a day? But the – yeah, you're like, Governor, do you have an office? Do you just live in here? What do you think is the most powerful person you've ever talked to? That's a good question.

That's a good question. It's probably not a particularly powerful person. It's probably Dave. Oh, Cardinal O'Malley's like One of the Guys in line to be the Pope Yeah That's a good one He's pretty up there

That's pretty powerful Yeah I hadn't thought about him I think he'll get it one day Yeah I've been hearing that name a long time He's either gonna die or become Pope One or the other

He uh Probably wants to die before he becomes Pope Being Pope is the worst He's still pretty young I think though Well by Pope standards Yeah Yeah Pope you get elected when you're like 100 Yeah Charlie wants to die before he becomes Pope. Being Pope is the worst. He's still pretty young, I think, though. Well, by Pope standards, probably. Pope, you get elected when you're like 100. Yeah, probably Cardinal O'Malley in that sense.

That's an actual, that's a real answer. That's a good one. I don't think I've ever talked to any actual government people. I don't know. Charlie Baker and I have talked a couple of times at Team Impact events. It's probably just more it's like rich people. I don't know the power of people. Right, right, right. I've met rich people.

Charlie Baker actually came up to me at a Team Impact event years ago, and he was like, how's New York treating you? I was like, we just moved to New York? I was like, you know what the fuck that is? I'm sure those guys kept their eye on Barstool more than they would like to admit. Probably, yes, but also he's probably got an aide. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like Veep.

Yeah. Yeah, I guess that would be. Everything else would be like sports or entertainment and money, like you're saying. Yeah, which is not just like power, but it's more influence, I guess. Jack, you ever talk to any powerful people? I don't think so. Who's the most famous person you've ever talked to? The most famous person?

Is it me? Honestly, like maybe. That stinks. You've talked to guests we've had. Yeah. Yeah, but not really. I don't really talk to them. Who do you think is the most famous person who's who's the guest that came here that you were the most like holy shit um

for whatever reason i mean alex cooper was the one that i was like kind of freaking out about but that was like unexpected you did fangirl out of nowhere on that one like how much how big of a fan i was until then that was funny watching that she was like really yeah i don't know where i was that day but i wasn't here yeah yeah i remember that you weren't here she was jackie like was like i don't know why but i i'm like like it was like unexpected like yeah well because she did roll in here like a motherfucking g yeah so even if you weren't like prepared to see someone or something i can handle it better with like but even even even the way – I was like, whoa. I know.

You're different. It's a different vibe now. If anybody were to come with that kind of posse though and those kind of cameras. I'm almost the opposite. When people roll in dolo is when I'm like, yo, that person doesn't fuck around. Oh, I don't think they – I think they're cooler. Yeah, but I – yeah, I don't think they're I think they're cooler Yeah, but I Yeah, I guess so But I also think when the chips are down

Those people are more I guess it depends on who you are Yeah, I think You come in solo It's like that person's a fucking man Yeah You come in with a crew A crew, I'm thinking you're more important

Right, which is stupid But I guess it's true I fangirled a lot over E Yeah, you did You bugged out about that. A lot of people do over him. Entourage really moves the needle with people, for sure. It was such a phenomenon and such a comfort thing for guys and girls

that people go nuts for those dudes. I still watch Entourage almost every Sunday. Really? If I'm so hungover and I need to be put in a good mood, I just watch five episodes. That first season is so fun. It just watched like five episodes. That first season is so fun. It's just like this is what every guy

wishes their life would be. At that point it was like Sex and the City for Guys is what people were calling it. That's exactly what it is. Alright, next voicemail. Hey KSC crew. I'm just watching the Comb, and I just watched fights pump out 42 big reps. Strongest man in the world. Now, first thing I notice is even when this guy is doing what makes him happy,

pumping out reps with the boys, he's using a suicide grip. Come on. Jackie, you got to get him back on that jar. That's the jar for sure. What is the suicide grip? Suicide grip is, like, I don to get them back on that jar. What is the suicide grip? Suicide grip is like I don't have my thumbs on the bar. So the bar can just fall on me.

You were just holding it with your fucking fingers. It's just kind of resting in your palms. Crazy. Crazy. I don't know. That's just the way I learned to live. Like, I don't know. You know what was so disheartening about, and,

and very, it was like so barstool on display. It was like, if you ever like, like we are not like a team, like it, it took Billy being like, come on,

like, let's go guys. Let's fucking like hype each other up here. Like in the beginning, it was very much people being like, I hope he doesn't do more than me. I hope it is more than me. And I know why that is the much people being like, I hope he doesn't do more than me. I hope he doesn't do more than me. And I know why that is the case,

but like... I actually think our group was better at that. We were cheering people on for the 40, and then... It's one of those things. I think our group

was a little bit more like... Your group was definitely like silent. Bro, it was like, this sucks. Our group, I think we were a little more animated. As the thing goes on, it's been two hours. I can't cheer for two hours. But I think for...

We would clap it up, whatever. But there was definitely no genuine rooting for each other. There would be. During your group, I'd say, have you gone yet? And you'd be like, yeah, I went. I didn't even know anything had happened. Exactly, have you gone yet? Right. Yeah. I went, yeah. I didn't even know anything. Exactly. Exactly.

It was very, uh, our group wasn't, we weren't, we weren't, Francis was bugging out. Dude, Francis ran the 40,

like first. And then he was like the first person to go 35, whatever it was. It wasn't 40. Right. And it was spider and Megan making money. We're doing the, the watches and you had to pick which one you wanted

and obviously we're talking about tenths of a second so like you could be better or worse and he picked i think spider and it was seven tenths of a second slower which is like you got fucked like by a almost a full second on a three and a half second race that sucks right but he was like distraught he was like i guess i get to go again right we're gonna go second like this and he was like comparing to everybody else's i was like oh i can't tell you how much i hate this i hate this so much guys like this is like people were talking about their form and stuff and i was like let's just fucking dick around and have some fun it's crazy like we're all gonna be bad none of us are gonna be good and a couple a couple are gonna be good a couple are gonna be terrible everyone's in the

middle that's the fucking point of this thing you know i i loved like max was was like bugging out about it and i was like dude just go do it and i think he ended up being like just outside of the top five yeah it was like awesome for him it's exactly where you want to be like you showed everyone you can do all the things but you don't have to stick around for like four more hours by the way i i wanted i i didn't call him out on this in the moment so maybe i will have to call him or give him a shot to respond because it was so ridiculous in passing that i just let it happen i was leaving the office white socks day was coming back to the office, I think, to do the skit. And he told me he threw the vertical jump so that he wouldn't advance. He was like, look at the tape.

I didn't try because I wanted to have lunch and I didn't want to advance. Everyone could have lunch. And I was kind of like waiting for my Uber. There was a full-on built-in lunch break with lunch provided yeah he he said he said to me something like i can't remember how he worded it but it was so it was almost like i knew like he was kind of like did you see what i did and i was like what what and then he said it to me and i was kind of like oh okay yeah man and then like my uber came and I was like, wait. What? In no world did White Sox Dave throw the vertical jump to not advance in the final.

That's fucking insane. Also, the vertical jump is two before? Yeah, it went 35. Yeah, like that wasn't the final bench. So you wouldn't have even known if you were going to be in the final. Yeah, and you would have thrown them much easier in one throw, which is throwing. Yeah, you could have just. Yeah, on the last one, he hit from full court. I think he got the most points in the throwing.

Did he? I know he hit a three-pointer. So I think some people had like four. So he was like top. Right there. Yeah. But he threw the vertical jump. That's very funny. yeah yeah but he threw the vertical jump that's very funny he definitely did not throw the vertical and i was i i was so like what do you what do you say he's

like go check the tape i threw it i was just like oh okay what it's fucking ridiculous the the white socks dave also we we had him on Out of Order. New Out of Order skit is out. It's great. We – this is – it's honestly – it's on us. Like we are not good directors, producers. I think – because we're not – so here's the deal. We did obviously the Moneyball sketch.

And in that Moneyball scene, there's a lot of people who just are there. To just be like – to mimic the scene. Yeah. But in the scene, even in the scene, there's a lot of people who are just sitting there. And I know like when I ask – when we ask someone to be in and out of order, it feels like – actually, I'm not going to say weeks. I can't speak for everybody. But when I personally ask somebody, I feel very much like I'm asking them to do me a huge favor. Right.

So I'm always trying to be as accommodating as I can, because they are obviously doing me a huge favor. They're giving you time. Yeah. But I also think that they feel like they are being asked to be in the skit. Yeah, yeah. It's like, hey, we need some extras for our skit and they're like i'm in like this is my time to shine like i think they're they're gonna get a speaking part they think they're gonna be the star of it whatever maybe which i get i

totally get and it is again i keep saying i it's very much me owen and pavis who like think about it but like what I feel when we're doing it is like I don't want to step on I don't want to like take away their joy and be like just shut up here's the deal shut your fucking mouth we got to get out of here in an hour like and then like it is like now okay it's I don't want to to – again, I am just – me, Owen, and Pabst think about all this. But it is like – I don't want to be like, you're just a fucking piece of meat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We need a human body.

Just sit down and be meat on screen. Now, but okay, I'll also say this. I was talking to Pabst about it, and he said, you know, White Sox Dave just simply got too horny. He got too horny. But in his defense, so you guys were doing this skit. If you haven't seen the out-of-order skit, it's a Moneyball spoof talking about the Fanatics jerseys in Major League Baseball that are see-through. So the premise is that the Oakland A's doing Moneyball are going to hire hot chicks

with big tits because the uniforms are see-throughthrough and so it's a horny skit and you invited white sucks dave then he was too horny and i told pavs i was like that's like inviting a dog to the skit and being mad that he's barking what did you what did you expect the in the in the outtakes i did i let me see i haven't seen these outtakes. I've watched this like 100 times. Before you said, like, it was a sketch about boobs. Right. And I think White Sox – He lost that. He's like, this is a sketch about tits.

And it's a different – they're different things. I see what you – I get it. I get it. Some guys were talking about breasts, and he was talking about butt bags. This is like we're doing boobs. Yeah. Yeah. Doing boobs.

This is your boss right here. He has a right to say his piece. I just got done watching True Detective Season 1, and Alexandra Daddario has just a phenomenal rack. An immaculate rack. Her tits are like gargoyles perched on a ledge. Okay? Get in your face. I'd like to see that in a stadium, personally.

Guys, guys, that true detective, she's riding Woody Harrelson, like, and about to pull her shirt off and her tits just flop all over his face. It's fucking incredible. Like, get that. I want more of that. Can her tits turn on double play?

Probably. They were handcrafted by God himself. Please just be saying. Bro, the funniest thing is you. If you know John, first of all, when the star starts to deliver his lines again, shut the fuck up. But when you turn your head and you put your hand in your mouth, that's so you going, what the fuck?

I think that he taps it out with a unit locked eyes. going, like, what the fuck? I think Pabst and I was in you and I locked eyes. We were like, what the fuck is going on right now? But you know what, man? I mean, you can't shoot your skits with cutting room floor in mind. I don't think that's just madness. Yeah. But that's great. Pabst has watched this all. Every time for the last yeah but that's great Pabst

Pabst has watched this all every time for the last 24 hours I've heard Pabst laughing out loud I just know he's watching he's watching

when it's up yo when I can see you guys I can see like Pabst and Owen sitting down being like

alright here's the skit here's what we need to like get this shot and that shot and the punchline and the ending okay

and now we need now we need some ridiculousness shot and that shot and the punchline and the ending and now we need now we need some ridiculousness that is that's the you can't script that that is so funny that is that's just so Dave

her tits are like gargoyles perched up who has ever described nice tits as gargoyles her tits are like gargoyles perched up. Who has ever described nice tits as gargoyles? Her tits are like Batman overlooking the city. Her tits just flop out all over his face. Suck those things off, god damn. Tits like gargoyles but then but again like i i do i do really think that like it's not it's our fault like we didn't we didn't explain it clearly well i also think

like i i i'm sure that's probably something that like pavs and i wouldn't should do where you're like you know your role going in where it's like will you're going to be like a speaking part and you guys yes you guys but also it's kind of like but you know what it might be better just it's probably more work for you to like edit and shit maybe the shoot runs a little longer but it's probably better for stuff like this to just let some of these bozos go i'll let a couple go through like and then when i'm like and then you gotta really need to get this shot it's like all right so I like that I didn't like that and then like good good good

make sure we all no I'll say we already got that so let's just make sure we get that yeah yeah yeah you already did great you're already gonna be a star

so just zip it I don't think it was with Dave I forget at one point Paz was like okay cameras are only on John and Dave

and Eddie right now nobody else's mic is even working. We're not going to get anything else recorded except John and Will. I did have major FOMO when I saw this. I should have gone. Yeah, yeah. It looked fun. But I do worry about stuff like that where I'm like, I don't want to be a part of it unless it's natural. And I definitely don't want to be a part of it unless it's natural,

and I definitely don't want to be the guy. I would probably be there sitting in silence. That would have been great. I know. I know. I know. I know. Next time you need someone in silence, I'll be your guy.

The last thing I ever want to be, though, is the guy who everyone's going like, geez. It was great, but Kevin wouldn't shut the fuck up or whatever. So I was just having fun and laughing right now. But it was incredibly nice and awesome that they gave their time. It did come out great. And Dave is in another sketch where Dave crushed it and stole the show. But that one's not out yet.

But this one was funny. Dude, your reaction is so good. It was so funny. It was so funny. It was so funny. Stuff like this, I wonder, like, you probably are just, you're either an asshole or you're not an asshole. But let's say you start acting, right? And, like, 30 years down the line, you're on set and someone's doing this. I could see where someone, like a Christian Bale, is like, shut up yeah shut up man you know like in one skit you guys are like

oh fuck but you know on a your hundredth three-hour movie you're like shut your goddamn mouth stop talking about tits man uh i wonder if uh jackie soccer team ever made fun of her saying that they're gargoyles. Put that on the Instagram. Jackie Gargoyles. Hey, Fights KSC gang. Kind of like a high thought for you, I guess. So, for 12 o'clock at night, people call it midnight, which would imply 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. would be the nighttime, I guess.

But in real life, 12 a.m. means it's actually morning, so it's not midnight. It's kind of end of the night. That's a great point. I don't fucking know. I don't know anything anymore. Thanks, Viva. He's dead ass right. 12 a.m.

I do like how that realization can make shatter his world. I don't know anything anymore. He's like Jackie. Is this even real? Have I fucked Diddy? I will say the 24-hour clock is the most, makes so much sense. The fact that we do a 12-hour clock is insane.

How come? Why do we reset it? Why not just keep going to 24? There's 24 hours in a day. You go 1 to 24. What time is it? 17.32. Why is that a problem?

Why would we? That's, again, what everyone else does. Right. Right. I mean, there's the order of 10 with centimeters, kilometers, all that shit. That makes more sense than miles and minutes or um feet and inches and miles and all that still got fahrenheit unlocked though fahrenheit is king fahrenheit is king that's for sure but the 24 hour clock it's like why would

why would you just be like we're gonna put some letters into it and start over can you can you google that you definitely can't Google that. That's hard for anybody to Google. I would say why do we use a 12-hour AM-PM clock? Ancient Egypt, the night was

divided into 12 equal parts due to the fact that at the beginning of the Egyptian year, there were 12 asterisms. Okay, so there's some wild shit. So the answer is just ancient tradition. Dumb shit. Ancient dumb shit. Why is there 28 days in February?

Don't know. Google that. I think it is. Isn't it like if every month was 30 days, they'd all be 30 days? There's a number where it's like if 365 days – what's 365 days? What about 12? Well, I guess that doesn't really work out.

But then why does the – This is because the sum of any amount, 12 months of odd numbers will always equal an even number, and he wanted it to be odd. So it just sounded like one of those weird emperor things all all of these things are like just because someone said so none of it none of it the only thing that's natural is like the sun and the moon you know the sun going up and down yeah everything else is just like we decided days of the week months of the year how long a year is all that shit or no i guess not i guess the year is decided too by going around a year and a day are like a

natural thing but the way we measure it is is pretty much made up um yeah like what like who cares if it's 355 days i don't know this this king pump pompilius didn't want it to be okay weirdo um but definitively midnight is not the beginning is the end night end night and nights it's it's start midnight would be like 8 p.m right yeah yeah because the night is only really like 6 to 12 but it is also certainly if we're talking about what the sun is, it's obviously still, that is the middle of the night. We just have the whole thing fucked up. Yeah.

We just fucked the whole thing up, man. That'll blow your mind high, for sure. That'll fuck you up. That'll have you going in circles when you're high. Because now I'm trying to think

of what should be called the day, what should be called the night, what hours should be what. The whole thing's jacked up. We should just have 24 hours clock. We should have meal one The whole thing is jacked. We should just have 24 hours clock. We should have meal one, meal two, meal three. Nothing else to designate any other time of the day.

Just live your life. That's it. All right. Let's get into it. Leanne Kreischer on KFC Radio. Let's talk to her. Just live your life. Oh.

All right. Let's do it. We got a very special guest here. Someone who has been very good to us over the last few years, Leanne, the head of the Kreischer family. We all know who the brains of the operation are. Maybe. You might get in trouble with him if you call me.

No, he says that to me all the time. He's always like, you've got to talk to her. But you guys have been so good to us professionally and personally over the last couple years, so it's an honor to have you on. Well, thank you. And I think it's been mutual. I think you guys have been really good to Bert. We've tried. We try, but it's like,

I'm good to God. Bert would probably be okay without us. And I'm better to Bert to God to be fair but no what we

what we've done with Bert and basically your whole operation the last couple years has been like very good for us professionally I think

like really put us on a level we were trying to really establish ourselves in the comedy space and you know him embracing us

really went a long way for credibility and and all that so it was great um he's a good guy yeah what do you think when that good guy calls and says that he's gonna fly two so-so guys out to amsterdam yeah what was your thought on that i thought it was awesome did you see you're incredible you're incredible because i'm always coming from a place i'm like man his wife's gonna be so mad about this or that and then i see how well you guys operate and it really is like i've said it many times before i'm like i think you guys are marriage goals where it's like i mean but but in so many ways like like forget about now now it's probably easy because you know everything's

successful but for a long time it wasn't, right? So you went through the phase of being probably the supportive girlfriend and then wife of the broke comedian and then the supportive wife of the comedian trying to make it. And then now the supportive wife of he's always on the road and away. And none of that is easy, and some of it comes with money and cool stuff, but as a marriage and as parents and stuff, that all has to be very hard, and I think you guys do it pretty, it seems effortlessly,

I don't know if it is or not, but it seems like you guys, maybe a little bit of effort, it seems like you guys, whatever comes your way, good, bad, or the other, it's like you guys do it together. It's amazing. We are so lucky.

We talk about it all the time, how lucky we are, because of exactly everything you described, right? It's so funny. It's the only marriage I've known. It's just the only cope. Otherwise, Bert's got some news coming. We have problems. But it's the only way I know how to parent.

And I was kind of parented the same way in that my parents were divorced. And so I spent a lot of time away from my dad. And then, you know, summers with my dad and then the rest of the year with my mom. And so I think it set us up to kind of frame our life together for success because I know what it's like to feel connected to somebody and not be with them yeah you know my dad called me every Wednesday night he was never late to pick me up every other weekend and when we were together

when I was with my dad it was all about me yeah and not in like a like all about me in a bad way but like I was his focus yeah we did things that he needed to do he worked I'd go to work with him but I knew I was his prior as I was a priority yeah yeah and first exactly the same yeah so it's really fascinating that you grow up a certain way and then you find a way to repeat it yeah right I always think about that with my dad where you some priority where my dad was a very hard worker worked all the time but i don't have a single memory of being playing little league and looking up and seeing him on his phone and he was like he was always just there or hockey or whatever it may be where it was i was like i i think i noticed it in little league like even at a young age where i was like damn he like

whenever we're like i don't know if he's at a young age where I was like, damn, he like, whenever we're like, I don't know if he's at home, he's always working and like he's not working. He's never working when he's watching. He's with you. When he's with me.

Right. And I always thought that was cool and something I would hope to replicate when I got older. Yeah. And making someone a priority when you're with them.

Yeah, to be present. Yeah. That was a deal we made when we were first together because when he started touring when georgia was three days old so good timing right perfect timing yeah and um so i said to him i'm cool with this as long as when you show up you are plugged in yeah so i'll

support everything you do when you leave as long as when you get here, you plug in. Because the kids don't deserve a dad that's not plugged in. That's not how this is going to be. And he actually wasn't interested in anything other than that. He really wanted to be there. So in the beginning when I was working full time so that he could go on the road, we had a nanny for Thursday, friday only when i had to go to work and monday tuesday wednesday burt was it he was stay-at-home dad he was drop-off pickup grocery shop laundry he was no one would ever think about right but we couldn't afford a nanny

five days a week we couldn't do it so we just days a week. We couldn't do it. So we just didn't have any choice. Out of necessity, it forced this really great moment in parenting for him where he had no choice, and I had to let go of any boundary or any controlling because I was like, I can't manage you and work this job that's really intense and hard for me at the same time what was that job i managed three apartment buildings i had 139 units and i had no maintenance man so everything i did i had to call like a vendor for it out yeah and i had no assistant either for most of it. So it was just me. And I could work from home occasionally.

But I hated it. That was a good hit. I hated it. It was a gift in that we had free rent and we had health insurance and a little bit of pay. So I don't resent it. But it but i hated i did not enjoy any of it were you the main provider at that time i was yeah yeah that's that's an interesting thing to have you know someone like burt so successful now and have a period of time where i think people i think it happens more often than not but people don't really tend to recognize it and i remember watching an interview with uh john david washington who's denzel's kid

and he got introduced as this is denzel's washington's son and he was like and forgive me i forget his the mother's name um and he's like whoa whoa i'm also yeah washington's son right he's like he's like you know Denzel Washington You know Denzel Washington Because Angela Washington Worked jobs While he tried to get a role Wow And while he tried to grow

And again I wish I could look up her name Because it's really stupid of me To not know it now After that But that's amazing Yeah For him to recognize that

Yeah That's amazing It's a It's a gender role switch It's a responsibility switch i can't tell you pauletta paul and i'm sorry it's pauletta pearson she never took his last name so even more gangster yeah i i feel like uh that is like both of those things of um being supportive of it of his job and then also the recognition to like let go a little bit of the

control i think are two things that can be like invaluable in in in this world like because it's like you have to support the career if you don't support the career it's probably honestly not going to work right like if you really had a problem with him going on the road for whatever reason uh our marriage wouldn't work because that boy can't do nothing else for a living. Are you kidding me? Can't hold a regular job. So that, you know, if there was trust issues, if there was time,

like you just didn't want to be apart all the time, like it just probably wouldn't have worked. So that's like the first thing. And then I feel like nowadays when, now that everything is kind of – everybody works and does family. It's not gender roles anymore. I feel like it's very hard. Like you have to kind of let go of the control a little bit. If it's like if you want me to help around the house, raise the kids, do that stuff, like it's not always going to be your way then.

You know what I mean? So to be like I'm going to work. You take care of kids burt for these three days and he does it kind of his way and you're cool with that and i'm sure it's you know you're all on the same page somewhat but to let it like fluctuate a little bit i think is because when it's like do you want if you want my help i'll do it but if you if you're going to complain then you just do it yourself like i can't do it your way. I do it my way. So I think those two things are probably crucial to surviving. They are.

And I think it's a real flaw if you can't recognize that not everything has to be your way. Now, there's, like, the core value set, right? There's no hitting in our family. We both agreed that there's no hitting. You know, Isla was a hitter. Really? So you can't let her just go willy-nilly and hit Georgia all day for three days straight.

That's one you've got to handle. Right? But he would take them to Trader Joe's and put them in the buggy and literally get a French loaf bread, like a big, long baguette, break it in half, and give each kid one

and let them eat the other. I would never have done that ever but yeah you know what he got dinner ready he got kids bathed as long as you get to the finish line shit exactly everyone's like we hit our bedtime we hit the ones that matter yeah yeah so they can read it right half a baguette on those three days a week i'm good because the rest of it got handled there was no hitting and all those like baselines that you agree on and part of that value system agreement is just how you're built right the reason that we've been together so long is because those basic value systems just automatically line up maybe 90 and that's not something that we worked at it was how we were yes yeah i think that when we were first dating

and we were super broke we would get a ten dollar pizza from domino's watch old movies that i already owned and or play scrabble and so we were like if we can do that and not worry about anything else that makes you happy're pretty good. It's so much fun. We reminisce about that. You almost wish you had that, right? Well, yeah, and we'll do it from time to time again. But if you find somebody that you can do nothing with and still call it a good time, I think that's a good indicator.

And another thing, you know, my dad lived lived with two roommates and they partied a lot and the one of the roommates had a son my age so on every other weekend there were kids in the house and then the other weekend there it was a party house yeah kid house party house sometimes they would overlap so burt calling to ask you to go to amsterdam completely tracks with my entire childhood so for me that's cool when he comes up with stuff like that i'm like that sounds like a fucking blast sorry i don't know if i can curse you can say whatever you want please do that i'm actually have a little fomo that i can't and don't want to interrupt the bra whatever's happening i totally get it yeah so i think that's

part of what makes us work is i think that i have a lot of guy in me yeah right yeah i have a lot of guys i mean that's awesome i mean awesome I think it is kind of awesome and I also think Bert has a lot of girl in him Bert has so much girl Bert is such a chick he knows it you don't even know

the depth of the chick when you read men are from Mars women are from Venus you just had to just reverse the whole book I need cave time I need to solve the. I need cave time.

I need to solve the problem. I need to do that. And then you just need to be heard. You just need to shop to manage your feelings. That's what the book said. I was like, you are the Venus, baby, all day. I always remember when Erica Nardini, our former CEO, when she first got hired at Barstool, not first, when she'd been at Barstool for maybe a year, two years or whatever, she started talking about a book she's going to write.

And I don't know if she is. Maybe she will one day. And she was going to call it All Guys Are Chicks. Because she had been managing at the time, probably the first two years since Erica got here, it was probably an all-male company. And she's like, you're all girls, dude.

That's so funny. She should totally write that book it's a great book but some girls are girls too yeah i mean but i you know it's there's so much luck in that like finding the right person yeah i don't know what you know how did you guys stumble into each other in Florida that first date or that whatever? We didn't stumble in Florida. We met in LA. LA, whatever. It's just like you might bump into them or you bend down to tie your shoe and then you miss each other and that's it. Your life goes totally the different direction.

Totally. Or you meet somebody who you think you love or you think is going to work. The thing for me is like you, you work, you know, we work as a relationship now, but then five years, things change in 10 years.

And if, you know, how do you know if you're going to work when I'm a millionaire comedian on the road, you know? And the fact that like you, you guys are compatible to the point that you've worked at every level is like probably a testament to more about you guys like working on it or being together for each other but also just luck that it's like it just works like your you guys are kind of a yin and a yang and it just flows it's like well that's probably how you end up you know being able to do all of it raise great kids and and it's funny because i feel like the

the joke is kind of that bert's always on the road but at the same time i also feel like you guys have like the tightest family. We all see, and I'm sure there's behind closed doors, but it's like we see how you guys work as a family and you seem like you're loving and funny and caring and it's all good. It's amazing that you juggle it all because there's a lot. We are really lucky. I remember maybe it was the first time

burr ever came in and he was telling a story about when he had a show on discovery and he'd almost died a handful of times broke his back or trip flip both of them yeah yeah right and and he was basically how he got started where or or not how i got started how his podcast got where he was in a green room at the comedy store or one of the L.A. spots. And Rogan was in there and Bill Burr were in there. And they basically had an intervention where they were like, you have to stop doing this. What's your, I think he said, what's your nut? What do you need to make?

We will help you get to whatever it is. If his friends were recognizing that, where was your head at during that time? I was two or three years ahead of them. Yeah. Really? Yes. After the first contract expired with travel channel i said don't renew that wow don't do that you need to be focusing on stand-up don't do that really and he did it and i was like motherfucker really because Really? Because I knew it was a limited part of his authenticity, right?

It was a lane, but it was a tiny lane of what he was capable of as an artist. Yes. And I didn't like that because I wanted him to get in it, but then get out of it before you get stuck in it before you get stuck in it for money for a contract for I'm just comfortable here fill in the blank and I kept going you need to get out and he wasn't listening to me and I was really frustrated because not only was that I was thinking about him as an artist, but the trauma, big word, but it's real in my house, it was really traumatic for him to do that show.

And that trauma was bleeding into our house. Oh, shit. And I didn't like that. And he couldn't really hear me because he kept saying, I need to provide for my family. Well, I was going to say, as a guy, that probably goes against everything you're feeling a hundred percent that's why he kept renewing and renewing he renewed two or three more times it was a total of six years and i at two years was the first contract and i was like don't bounce and start going back to

your stand-up um so four more years he did this and he ended up with PTSD from it. And it was fucking awful. But, you know, this often happens in our relationship, which frustrates me, is that I will say something over and over and over again, and

then Tom Segura will say it, and I go, go fuck yourself, man. I've been saying this forever. I was just about to say, because I'm sure that was frustrating. It's so frustrating. But I think sometimes, especially in a relationship, it's not right. But it's almost the same way as you don't listen to your parents. You know what I mean?

Yeah, I get it. And it still feels like shit. You don't think your parents are cool. Yeah, no, it sucks. It definitely sucks. It feels like shit. I go, I'm the person that loves you the most. I'm the person that has the least dog in this fight.

Come on. I just want you to be healthy and happy. I can see him being like when other stand-up comedians, like if your wife tells you you're funny enough, you're good enough, it's like you love me. You probably think that. When Joe Rogan, Thompson Graham, Bill Burr say, go do it, it's like, oh, shit.

Okay, wait a minute. You guys don't have to say that to me. My wife has to say that to me. Very good point. But it still sucks. Very good point. No, you're right. That is a good point.

Did you think you had a breaking point with it? Yeah, I did have a breaking point with it. With the PTSD? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Had he signed another contract, do you think maybe you'd be in a different spot now? We would have had problems, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Obviously, professionally, you would be, but mentally, personally. But, you know, I don't know that he would have because the PTSD had gotten to the point where he was like a crazy person. Really? I just told this story yesterday on like so ptsd is caused by extended periods of intensity without recovery so intensity could be domestic violence yeah it could be a war that's what most people think of for ptsd it could also be i'm jumping off a building or a bridge or i or a human slingshot or I'm swimming with sharks. And I'm doing all four of these events four days in a row with one day off and then repeating the same level of intensity 10 days in a row with a day off.

And I'm doing this for six years. So it caused him to think he was dying all the time so he would call me like crying he was vomiting a lot from anxiety and i'm going you are dismantling yourself for a paycheck stop doing it yeah and then we have this really sad it was really intense i mean and especially once once i'm sure i feel like once comedians make it a lot of times people are just like oh it's easy or like whatever like it's it's a cushy job or it's like or they criticize the act or whatever it is and it's like you you if you knew what i fucking did for the first 30 years totally you know fuck you this job you know he's not a natural he was not at the time a natural

thrill seeker so like i was the one if there was a rock to jump off into the ocean i'd be like i'm in let's do it he'd go fuck you no way i'll be on the i'll be right here i'll see you when you float up dead on the side you know and i'd be like no it's gonna be fine look at all these people doing it he's like no no and then he got put in this job that's completely that opposite of his natural inclination and he just pushed through it over and over and over again so we had this moment where we were camping with our kids and we were in this like cabin that had a lake and i was at the lake with the kids baiting their hook and he was all the way up at the house and our kids were little uh well maybe like eight or so eight and six maybe he was up at the house watching me bait the hook and then he was like

come here right now and i was like what now because he'd been having all these like off moments and i was like what now and i go upstairs and he's like can i believe you would bait that hook in front of me. That is so emasculating. You have just emasculated me in front of our children. And I'm like, you're freaking like 60 yards from me. And I put a worm on a hook. And when I literally was like, gave him that logic,

he was like, I've married the wrong person. I've married the wrong person. I am with the wrong person. I cannot believe that you would discount my feelings in this way. And I went, we're having a mental break. Mental break. So I just zipped my mouth and just let him. It was a two-hour talking at.

I got talked to for two hours. And when it was over, I was like, we need some help. We got to get some help. I got to get some help here. I don't know how I'm going to get help. help i'm just gonna get through this camping trip wow but good i mean that's uh we gotta get burp back from penis i got him and i went dude this is past my pay grade i didn't help you anymore like this is not okay for our kids and this is not okay for me so you got to get some help what a mature response though yeah because i would have been like fuck you i mean to let to

recognize that someone is going through something and it's like pain yeah yeah but you should give yourself credit for that though because he was there's a lot of people who you know when they're getting talked at or yelled at even if they know it might be coming from a painful spot don't offer you that grace or that you know that slack in that moment because that's what it takes i mean and i mean i'm sure on some level yeah it's like he was doing all that to try to make money and provide so it's like all coming from a place of trying to help the family but when it starts to tear apart the family it's it was intense yeah that is crazy it was tough yeah yeah i mean people have no idea what what goes into it to make it in Hollywood show business,

whatever you want to call it. It's like, and it's all good now, but, you know, geez. Yeah, it's crazy. So when did you start your podcast? Six years ago. So you're still, you know, you're in the game for a little while now, too. It's not like you just, you know, jumped on recently. So was that something you wanted to do?

Or was it like once this all kind of started, it offered you the opportunity to do it? This is an interesting story. So somebody reached out to Bert on his podcast, a guy named Jair Rodriguez. He gave personality tests and value system tests. And he asked if he could give Bert and I these tests and then talk about it on the BertCast. And we were like, sure, that'd be fun. So we did these tests.

I don't know, that sounds scary to me. Oh, it's scary to you? You say fun, me. No, we were like, this will be awesome. But when he was reading us the results, he was like, you guys are actually a really good match. But there's one problem area here. Leanne is 90 percent other focused and you

are 90 self-focused so the positive is Bert you get everything you need but the problem is going to be at some point she's going to get upset because she's not getting what she needs yeah so I'm giving you this information. So you have the opportunity to kind of write that boat a little bit. And I fell remarkably apart. I am not an emotional person, but in that moment I thought I've been in therapy for years to not be 90% other focused and I'm still 90% other focused. And what a failure. Like, this is not okay. Because, you know, before I was with Bert, I was a writer. I wrote comedy and romantic comedy screenplays.

I wrote eight screenplays. One got made. Four got optioned. I had, like, a career and a path. And then we got pregnant on the pill. And I went, okay, this is my path. And I have no regrets about that path. But I had a very fulfilling career that I was enjoying and had some success in. And my career became being a mom and supporting Bert, which I was very happy to do.

But that mental health piece of now I'm 90% focused because that is the nature of being a mom and that is what I had to do to get Bert from A to B so that our family was taken care of financially and etc that that was a really hard piece of information for me and so Bert is a a very gracious lovely partner in that he went well I he went, well, I'm not cool with that. I'm not cool with me being 90. That's not cool. And I don't like how this is making you feel. And then a couple days later he goes, I think you should start a podcast.

And I went, no. People are going to say that you're just a great wife, and it's going to be stupid, and what do I talk about? And he's like, I think you should just rant. And I was like, I'm absolutely not doing that that it that is so for me for who i am as a person that's too self-important and that is so not who i am and so i was thinking about it one day and i went you know what i would like to hear as a podcast i have the most amazing group of girlfriends that have great conversations with and if i were looking for a podcast i have the most amazing group of girlfriends that have great conversations with

and if i were looking for a podcast to listen to that's what i would want to hear i would want a community i could show up to and talk to my girlfriends but then i also want to learn stuff i don't know about i also want to you know talk to people who aren't in that realm so i want a little bit of everything. And Bert was like, and you can do that. That's what I'm talking about. You just described a podcast. But who's going to listen? And he went, don't worry about it.

Just do it because you love it. Also, to be honest, who cares, though? Exactly. I realize I have not listened. I have not looked at our download numbers in like 10 years know like i looked at the very beginning and then i kind of said like all right it's starting to grow that's all i need to know that's what i did sort of i have no idea we could listen five people five hundred thousand people like it doing it is what feels good yeah every conversation not every that's a lie but 90 of the conversations we've had

on the podcast be it between us, be it with a guest, I'm like, I don't care if anyone listened to that. I would have had the same conversation with you without the mics. Right. Same here. I enjoyed that. It's the same here. Anybody I have on, my goal is to learn something. Either learn something about them, learn something about me,

learn something about life, about something in our culture, something in our current events to learn if i'm learning something then it's worth my time and then hopefully it's worth whoever listens time but yeah burt was like you have to do it because you are right you have so many great friends and i have so many life experiences that are odd oh my god totally unusual you you are if i was looking for advice for anything if you're talking about professional personal romantic parenting all i mean you've done it all very successfully it's a huge compliment thank you very much think about it i mean everything as for the family seems to work out professionally like financially it seems

like the kids are you know smart and going to college it seems to work out professionally, like financially. It seems like the kids are smart and going to college. It seems like your marriage is great. Unless you guys are just the best goddamn actors in the world. No. I think you're one to learn from, not one to learn. Well, thank you. All I want to do is learn. If you learn out loud, then other people get to learn too.

That is, I think, the reason to do it, really. I remember I was a guest on a podcast, and I will refrain from naming it, but beforehand they were talking out loud. They were like, oh, dude, last week's number, stink, whatever. And I was like, I was so disappointed to be there in that moment. I was like, oh, that's why there in that moment i was like oh this that's why you guys do this yeah like that's kind of like never done that it's like it takes kind of some shine off it for me like i thought we were just gonna talk and have fun right it's

like oh you're oh you're using me apparently right appreciate it you don't feel gross this is transactional and yeah yeah it feels like a prostitute where it's like oh i thought we were in love yeah i thought we were best friends i thought saturday was for the ball i do we like every show we do we leave i'm like i could be friends with that guy he was awesome yeah yeah yeah well you know what is funny though it's i don't want to say everyone because like there are ones there are definitely ones where a guest will leave and be like that was great and like i feel like we could be best friends and there are ones that i was like you know that that guy's publicist told him to come here yeah yeah you can tell the fucking difference i have those two and i go oh that one wasn't as good right and it wasn't as

good because it's just not as natural it's just not and that's fine it's not a knock on anybody but you can tell it's not not everybody meant to talk to everybody effortlessly it just doesn't work like that yeah but, yeah. But anyway. So what was the moment for you that you realized things were taking off? Was there like a – For Bert? Yeah, yeah. Everything. Everything.

Just like when were you like, oh, shit, this is – I know the moment. I know the moment for Bert. For us, really. I think something that may not be quite as known is how involved I've been in Bert's career. Even though I'm not, I don't write or joke, nothing like that. But we've collaborated on all his decisions forever because we're a team. Right.

Not because I'm bossy or like that, but because we're a team. And our team means more than anything else going on in his career or my career or anything. So we had a meeting with his agents at our house, at our dining room table. They asked to come to our house, and that's odd. We were like, hmm, that's odd. We're usually at a restaurant or at their office. And they gave us an offer for his, what has turned into this arena tour, but it was several years ago, for his first big step out of clubs and into theaters. And I was like, this is going somewhere. This is huge.

Because selling out clubs and weekends is amazing. And for us, it was life-changing financially in that I could quit my day job. We could afford to buy a house. So when he moved into selling out weekends and clubs, we were like, we've made it. So we weren't really looking for any more than that. We were like, we could do this forever. Now we live in this little bitty house that we can afford with this forever. We're good.

But when that offer came in, Bert and I looked at each other and went, oh, shit. That's great. We're fixing to take off now. Ha, wow. And since then, it has done exactly that. It feels like exponential, yeah. When I asked that question question you said for burt or for me like i i think of you guys as it's just like one one you didn't you know even maybe that's because i know a little bit more about it but like he talks about how much you would like watch the

first draft of a special and change this joke which i actually i give burt a lot of credit i feel like if i if i was in a relationship and the girl was like this is not funny that's not funny change this change that i'd be like shut up fuck you what are you talking about to be able to take that criticism but like knowing how much you're kind of running the behind the scenes of things i feel like it's all you know you're almost as important as the whole opera yeah so i mean that's that's got to be a good feeling to be like, oh, we're going to get rich now. It's pretty crazy. It's pretty crazy. And actually, this sounds like ridiculous, but there was a dollar amount attached to that.

But it really was also about the number of people coming to see him. And that kind of weight. You're going, okay, hold on. You're going like, i grew up watching loving stand-up specials never dated a stand-up comedian had no interest in being in that world but coincidentally my dad loved stand-up so i watched like gallagher specials james carlin specials and you see all this kind of like packed house and ed Murphy, all of his specials and these huge venues he was playing. And to know that that's where he was going was insane for both of us.

So the money, yes, obviously you're like, what? That's a lot of money. Because I feel like once the ball gets rolling, you know it's going to go. It's like you're probably – If you make the jump from clubs to theaters and you keep doing this, you're probably going to go to arenas next. Yes. One would hope. Yeah.

Yeah. That's the goal. Right. Right. But that, that was pretty like, whoa. Was that a, it was obviously a financial relief. Was it almost a relief for you emotionally? We were like, finally, everyone else sees what I've seen.

No. No. I didn't really think like that. I don't know why. I still don't feel like everybody, what's really interesting aboutt's fame is that he is really in the middle of the country really known yeah so like in hollywood he's known obviously in the comedy community but i'm always still surprised at how many people he's not a household name yeah right he's not that like even people who are less successful on the road to him are better known um are you comfortable there would you like no i'm comfortable there no i'm good i'm

good i'm good i'm totally good if you can get money without the fame not to me well yeah but yeah you know those go hand in hand but if you can find a sweet spot, that's great. And his fans are so – we just did a cruise, you know, for his fans in October. And I have to tell you, you will not find a nicer group of people than the people that go to see his show. You know, my dad came on the cruise, and my dad was watching all the shenanigans going on. He was like, you drank the boat out of booze i bet we did i was thinking about that like how much you have to stock a boat we ran out day one we had to restock the boat in the bahamas we ran totally out and so my dad at the end of it he's like you know the most impressive thing was everybody was drunk and there was not one fight yeah and i went I went, that's Burt's fans.

I remember being at Fully Loaded where it was a very welcoming environment, almost like Grateful Dead-esque or who is it? The Juggalos. Yeah. We got to get you guys moving somewhere. Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, it's a good note to end on anyway because I really feel like whether it was by design or by luck, I think what you guys have cultivated together in all fronts is pretty amazing.

Oh, thanks. But I would hope it would be a relief that like falling off of a waterfall and breaking his back and him being away from me and the kids for all these months and, you know, is it was worth it. At least, you know, I'll tell you one thing we did that anybody can do. And I think this is important. We do this thing every year called the summit. So the summit is a business meeting between me and Bert oh I love this where we like lay our ego down we lay our weapons at the door and we go we come with curiosity about what you want this next year to be cool and then I know what you want and then he knows what I want and then as you function through the year you have that in mind and we talk about kids dogs money vacations health parents we talk about everything and then it's not in a confrontational

moment it's not in the middle of an argument it's not like I need this but I don't want to say anything yeah it's like that's the safe place where you just go, tell me everything, and then I'm going to tell you everything, and then we can function appropriately. And if you don't do it in a time where you're, like, stressed out, like if you don't do it in a yes when you're calm, it's communicated so differently. And because it's all-encompassing, we get it all out.

The summit. We have a summit. I named it's all-encompassing, we get it all out. The summit. We have a summit. I named it the summit because, you know, my Mr. Girl has to have some drama. So I was like, we got to name it something good.
