This is the greatest show.
We ain't lighting up, we won't come down.
And the circus opens the door.
What you gonna call them to?
We're taking over your home.
This is the greatest show. The greatest show of all time is Game of Thrones.
I'm starting to waver on that, but largely I agree.
Previously, would you have said?
Yeah.
Leading up to this season, you would have said best show of all time.
Yeah, and starting to waver is reactionary because I just didn't like it.
I liked the first episode of the season. loved episode two yeah um which i think was some
people were iffy on um i i did not i'm not gonna throw hate out there but i did not like
yeah winterfell we'll get into that people people are i think people are starting to come around on
that i um my immediate reaction was greeted with much hate.
Yes.
And I think today people are starting to think about it and be like,
you know what, that actually looked very good.
I mean, I'm doing Game of Stools and I'm trying.
I always keep it real.
I just tell you what I think.
If I don't like something, you're going to hear it.
But I know that Thrones fans want to listen to a show where it's like, guys, guys, Thrones is the best.
This was awesome.
And what about this moment was so cool?
And, you know, I was trying to temper that,
but last night was all right.
My main problem isn't even the ability to see.
That seems what everyone's dislike is.
I mean, I couldn't really see it.
Yeah, I mean, so there's a few things going on with this show
and the critiques and the reaction.
Like, you have to understand that these are, you know, people who had such high expectations
that there were some people who had no problem seeing the screen.
Like, some people, the brightness was fine.
Even far between.
Right.
But the fact that there's, like, enough to have a conversation is, like, wow.
They shouldn't adjust to the brightness.
Like, I shouldn't adjust the brightness
or put a warning
before the show
to tell me
but that's even
like overshadowing
is kind of like
god damn
like why
they botched that
you know it's like
it's hard to like
foresee that
but
when things are streaming
it's condensed
so that will happen
a lot with streaming
and HBO didn't
use different
styles for their
cable view
and their streaming view.
So it looks different depending on how you watch it.
I guess it saves money to do that.
Interesting.
So, yeah, but the fact that we're even having this conversation,
it should have just been all about this moment and this battle.
By the way, that was my fault.
That was spreading rumors.
What?
It was not $93 million for the episode.
Oh.
It was like $93 million for the season.
Oh.
Big difference.
False information on that one.
But the fact that like
that's how much hype
there was behind this
that like this was going to be
an epic all on its own
this one episode
and it had some cool moments
but I think it
turned into The Walking Dead
for a minute there
where it was just like
a bunch of zombies
and then.
I think that they're not
I think that Thrones
for some reason gets a lot of love for their battle scenes i do not think
their battle scenes are good i do not think they're good at shooting battle well i'll tell
you what else happened and you don't know this yet because you didn't see it but coming out the
same weekend as avengers i think actually hurt it maybe maybe literally maybe subconsciously
the battle in avengers is i mean times better what what what thrones where they
falter with their shooting of battle scenes is it's just constant chaos yeah it's it was and
fuck everyone who's like well that's what that's what it would feel like if you were in it like
well I'm not I'm watching yeah like you wouldn't be able to see like if you were on the dragon
uh okay then Danny can't see, but I want to see.
Good battles focus on the individual fights happening during the battle,
not just the B-roll of it, of hooves pounding and blood spraying.
That's good B-roll.
One of my favorite battles of all time is the end of the Patriot.
And that's great.
It's some chaos.
It's some large wide shots. And then you have the fight. Square off of the Patriot. And that's great. It's some chaos. It's some large wide shots.
And then you have the fight.
Square off the main people.
Which is probably a little unrealistic
where it's like no one would clear the battlefield
to let these two guys square off.
They don't have to fucking clear the battlefield.
They do in that.
But you don't have to clear.
Just focus on two people.
Last night I thought Jon and the Night King was great.
There wasn't really a battle,
but I thought that scene was good.
I thought Arya.
God bless you.
You sick motherfucker.
I thought Arya and the Hound and their little thing was good.
I thought the Dothraki was a cool way to show it, but I didn't think it made any fucking sense.
It was bad.
Why wouldn't they have dragonglass?
Why does their shit need to be on fire?
It's a cool way to show it. It's cool visually, but it just doesn made any fucking sense. It was bad. It was bad. I mean, why wouldn't they have dragonglass? Why does there need to be on fire? It's a cool way to show it.
It's cool visually,
but it just doesn't make any sense.
When those,
when all those fires went out,
it was like,
Oh shit,
that didn't work at all.
It had its moments,
but overall I think it was just the battle scene.
And then,
um,
I mean my main gripe,
there was nothing like,
we can just focus on Jamie fighting for his life at some point.
It was just always,
it was always just chaos.
45 minutes.
To not give you a little bit on the night King. Jamie fighting for his life at some point. It was always just chaos. 45 minutes of chaos.
To not give you a little bit on the Night King,
this is where I think I have true detected Game of Thrones because theories and book readers and discussions
had me convinced that there just had to be more.
And in the show, multiple times, they were like, they were created to kill humanity. Bran was like, he just had to be more. And in the show multiple times, they were like,
they were created to kill humanity. Bran was like, he just wants to kill me. They're coming.
They just want death. And that just ended up being the case. I just, that disappoints me a
little bit like that. To me, George R.R. Martin has written some of the most like complex characters
I've ever seen on a TV show. Everyone has good and bad. Everyone's, you know, in a gray area,
it's not black or white and everyone's complex the night king who is arguably like the most important in a way he didn't he didn't he
was very shallow he just wanted to kill people and and maybe we'll find out more in the episodes
to come if you're out here telling me well there's a prequel so you have to wait to see that
fuck you yeah like okay so then you have to admit that they like this tv this episode was lesser
than it could have been because hbo is trying to get greedy with it.
If you believe that, that's not a point in favor of HBO and Game of Thrones.
To me, I was convinced there had to be a reason why he started to march and a reason why he's connected to Bran.
And maybe there's actually some good in him or something a little more interesting.
Otherwise, it just became a monster movie.
It just became a zombie movie.
It was just Walking Dead and World War Z
and all those other things.
And this is kind of the bigger discussion
I wanted to have.
Two things.
One being that Game of Thrones and Avengers
coming out basically at the same time right now
has got to be the greatest storm
in entertainment history.
I mean, I can't think of anything
that even compares to the magnitude
of both of those, that episode and that movie.
By the way, Glenn Howerton's on this episode.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, Glenn Howerton's on the show.
He's fucking incredible.
I'll tell you what's, you know what episode is better than Avengers?
And that is this episode of KC Radio because Glenn Howerton is so fucking cool.
We'll talk about him in a little bit.
I just don't know where we got to a point on the internet.
Avengers is awesome.
Game of Thrones is awesome.
Probably arguably the greatest movie and greatest TV show ever,
at least in certain genres.
That doesn't mean you can't criticize it or can't dislike something
or critique it or wish that something went different.
I don't know where the internet has gone wrong,
but I think a lot of people direct it at me or Barstool.
Everyone's convinced that you're being contrarian for... I hate that word. Yeah,'s convinced that it's, you're being contrarian for,
I hate that word.
Yeah.
And it's like,
I'm never a contrarian.
I,
I,
I might just like something.
It's,
it's like,
oh,
like hating popular things.
I mean,
that episode wasn't very popular.
I,
I follow probably 10 TV writers.
All of them did not like,
like,
you better be coming at Seppin wall,
telling him he's contrarian.
You don't,
you know,
you don't have to think like a TV writer by any means.
But don't tell me I'm wrong for disliking it when everyone who professionally rates stuff dislikes it.
Again, you don't have to agree with them.
You can like things that they dislike, but I'm not being contrarian.
I'm actually on the side of people who do this.
It's a large portion of people who are not impressed, let down by the last episode.
You could even tell me I'm wrong because that,
you know, if you liked the episode and I didn't and we're going to like argue
over it, you think you're right, you think I'm wrong.
Don't tell me that I'm like making this up.
Don't tell me that I'm being contrarian. I want to love this show.
Every time. I'm like, please deliver
how I want it to deliver.
There are things that I would kill for
in this show.
I would have murdered someone.
I would have murdered an old lady to have Lost
tie up some of the things that I thought were on the table with Lost. And it didn't,
and I was disappointed by it. And in this instance, there's at least one storyline that,
if they leave it as is, I think I'm disappointed in. And that doesn't mean I don't like the show.
It doesn't mean I'm hating. It doesn't mean I'm doing it just to do it. I just don't know where we've got where we've gone wrong on the Internet where and everything.
You know, I critique the Mets. I say, you know, this guy's bad or they should be doing this.
You're not a fan of the team. I guess like I would argue that like if you can't be real and critique.
Oh, you yell at your kid. You don't love your kid. Exactly. Yes, I do. That's why I'm right.
Yeah, I love it. I love it so much that I have these high expectations and i'm so invested that when something falls
short uh you know the things that i'm most passionate about i'll probably also be most
critical about so if you if you like it that's fine people who love absolutely everything about
it that drives me crazy blindly and even you know what pisses me off too like the fucking uh like
the dragons just didn't factor in at all the dragons
were so disappointed the first 45 minutes it's i mean last season a dragon got from dragon stone
to north of the wall without a gps in like 20 minutes and i was fine with that but you can't
have that and then you get lost in a snowstorm 15 feet from the fucking battle right like
both of those things can't be true.
It's got to be one or the other.
You've got to be like, indestructible.
Either that dragon gets lost as fuck coming from Dragonstone.
Right.
Or they can find Winterfell again very quickly in a snowstorm.
Right.
Yeah, a lot of the dragon, it was mediocre.
The dragons were, you know, Dany definitely fucked shit up.
And if it wasn't for that first, you know, zambonying of the White Walkers, they'd probably be fucked.
But overall, we've been teasing White Walkers and dragons forever.
And the White Walkers get killed by a quick little ninja attack, and the dragons basically run off the battlefield.
The zombies somehow beat the dragons.
I don't need character deaths, but I was very underwhelmed with who died.
Everyone who died has already died.
You've already mourned for everyone who died.
That's true.
That's a good point.
We already thought.
Beric died, Theon became Reek,
and everyone thought Jorah died at greyscale.
You've already accepted that character's loss.
So to have them be the big deaths,
it's like, I mean, I already felt bad for that person.
I already mourned their death.
I can't do it again. I'm sorry.
It scares me that they kind of departed a little bit from what made
Game of Thrones Game of Thrones. They certainly did
because at no point last night
did I think that
I had no tension.
And that's because they have lost their
Game of Thrones-ness. Never did
I think, shit, he might cut Bran's head
off right here. I knew, I was thinking, how the fuck is Jon going to get there?
But you knew he was going to.
But I knew someone, I was wrong about who was going to get there.
Right.
But I knew someone was going to get there.
Yeah, you knew the good guys were going to kind of prevail.
I don't know, I mean, you know, I think people want it to be perfect.
And if you're a real fan, a big fan of it, and someone's telling you it's not, you're like defending it, right?
But I just don't get where you can't criticize anything anymore.
It's just I just I'm always going to keep it real about a show or a movie or sports or whatever it is. And if like I think they're all very valid arguments.
You know, if I was just like nitpicking, fine, that would be lame.
But when I'm I just, you know, I tell you, I wish the Night King was more.
They're like, well, it's not. You weren't paying attention.
They told us what it was.
I'm like, okay, you're right. They did.
I don't think that's that good.
It's tough where
it's a strange world
now where if you crowdsource
the entire internet, there are some
creative, smart,
funny, deep people who can come up with some cool
shit you know like those there's two writers now along with george rr martin and they had
one idea and one vision and like i don't know that fucking nerd on reddit came up with something
cooler i mean drew detective that's absolutely what happened the shit that the internet was
coming up with i was like we should hire everybody to write a tv show because you guys are awesome you're fucking so deep you're like brilliant and these guys just
like no it was a cop show and there's a fucking murder and it just uh reminds me so much of lost
because lost changed when the writers went on strike like it changed it was a clear divide it
seems like there was a plan and there was just a divide like this too and like you said earlier i
just couldn't can't imagine that the character that George R.R. Martin was writing for The Night King was just going to be a monster.
Yeah.
And now it just seems like it is.
And I hate the wait-and-see crowd, too.
I mean, you do have to wait and see.
There are three more episodes.
Maybe there's more story to tell.
I hope it comes back and looks awesome for a reason.
But in the moment, when you're talking about what aired, all we can talk about right now,
we don't know what's going to happen.
It leaves a little bit to be desired.
Now, if in the end it's like,
oh, you have to watch episode three, four, and five together
or something like that.
Okay.
But right now, all right.
It's cool.
It had its moments.
It also doesn't make sense that you have the greatest military minds
in the world together.
And you put forth the worst battle plan
in history. They never at any point
were the humans ever cooking.
Never had a chance.
I mean, Theon himself has
said before that
he heard from Eddard
that Winterfell,
500 men inside Winterfell can protect
Winterfell from 10,000 people
or something like that.
But there's something along those lines.
Why would you put everyone outside?
Put everyone inside. Defend it from
inside. You're outnumbered, but you
got a lot of people. Put them inside.
It made
no sense. None of it. It was like
you're Jamie
Lannister. You're Brianna Tarth.
You're Tyrion. You are the great military minds that exist in Westeros.
You basically just had a street fight outside the walls.
And you're just like, let's just go fucking send a bunch of Dothraki at them.
Yeah, run at them.
I guess, I don't know.
I mean, I guess that's where the people who are liking it are kind of like, yeah, I mean, whatever, man.
It's like the battle didn't work out in their favor.
It doesn't mean it was a bad episode.
But when the overall message was kind of missed
and then people started to pick it apart,
I just want to be able to talk about a show good and bad
or talk about anything good and bad
without it being like you're trolling all the time.
I think people overreacted to the Arya scene
because I really did like that.
I thought that that was really cool.
How did she get there?
Just in a very singular, isolated... I think people said she stole a face. Yeah, but show that. I thought that that was really cool. But just in a very singular, isolated...
I think people said she stole a face.
But show that! How are we
supposed to assume she stole a face? And what?
In the middle of her running over,
she got through the White Walkers,
and then she decided to expose herself?
If she stole a face, wouldn't she keep the face on until the dude's dead?
What's hard about this
faceless thing is that you can't show the
reveal. It can't be like some Scooby-Doo shit where you pull the mask off because you'd be like become the whole person.
You know what I mean?
Like, I don't remember how they did it with Walder Frey.
Like, did she like, did she pull it off?
Yeah.
And then did she like shrink back down to being a little girl?
I don't think so.
Because like, how would you, you know, how do you go from like a zombie that has like holes in your body and shit like that to back to being a human?
It's kind of like, I shit like that. It's back to being a human. It's kind of like, it's,
I don't know.
It's weird.
I think if people just listen to you guys,
like criticizing the story and being like,
I don't know,
we just killed the monster now.
And I don't like that.
I think in the moment,
what everybody was jumping on social media and being like,
that was an awesome moment with Aria.
It was,
it was okay.
I thought it was okay.
Cause it was,
cause it wasn't,
I like that.
I like that.
The, the dagger is like important. I like that the dagger is important.
I like that she did the move she's done before.
And I like that Arya is kind of like,
she became this death machine throughout the course of her arc.
That's all fine with me.
I think it's a pretty good way to sum it up.
That it wasn't a wow moment.
Because we all knew.
We were all watching here. We all knew we were all watching here we all knew we had
a camera on us so like that just human nature is tends to play things up when you know you're being
filmed and still none of us were like whoa it was it was a little anticlimactic at least here
i mean i'm but i'm sure there are our thrones fans who were going wild it just didn't like
strike uh i guess it's not just it wasn't the two of us in here they were fucking 15 20 people here
yeah no one was like wow i can't believe that just that everyone's like i can believe that
they were there it didn't have the shock wow factor yeah it was that it was like a oh shit
you know that's kind of like oh shit okay like that was i definitely i thought like she fell
short i think i said oh so close and i think that's what thrones has kind of been built on and i don't know how like the public
because i i binged it all in like the last month but like when ned stark was killed i was like oh
shit yeah when the red wedding happened even when joffrey even when obrien got his head exploded
when they blew up the sept like and maybe some of those you could have seen coming i'm not really
positive like i was completely blindsided.
But they were all big twists and turns that change everything.
And just beating the monster isn't really that.
It's just like, oh, you beat him.
Okay, you won. That's what I mean by it's lost.
It's thrown at us.
Because I think everyone knew he was not going to win.
I want one.
We hoped for it.
We wanted it to.
But I don't think anyone in their their heart of hearts thought for
a second that he was about to cut Bran's head off
if that was what was going to happen they should have done that
like the end of last season and then this whole season
should have been Cersei and
politics because I do like it getting back to
the manipulation and the backstabbing
and the politics of it all but when
you take an enormous
detour off to fucking zombie land
for like two straight seasons and fucking zombie land for like two straight
seasons.
And then in this season,
like two straight episodes,
it's kind of like,
all right,
like got to completely switch gears,
go back to like what it used to be to be like,
and then you only have a few episodes to do it in.
But I'm happy about like,
I mean,
I love Cersei,
the fact that we've gone two straight episodes now without her at all.
I'm like,
give me my Cersei fix.
I want to see the mountain.
I want to see the Golden Company.
I want to see how this all plays out.
I think it would be cool now, like, you know,
what if Jaime was like, all right,
now that we're done with this whole death thing,
I'm back to being a Lannister.
Like, fuck you guys.
Like, some of that kind of shit where your loyalties start to come into play.
I think there's a lot of...
Who's waiting in the weeds?
Who's that?
Our guy, Bronn.
Yeah, so, like, something with him.
And, like, you know he's
been basically contracted if he wants to kill these people like which side's he gonna be on and
like that would be that would be a thrones moment if fucking braun like massacres tyrian or something
crazy like that i just want some more of those moments that's what made the show great and like
otherwise the way it's been is kind of just going a little more of the traditional route but i mean
but either way and again this doesn't mean mean that I don't like the show.
I still think that this weekend, having seen Avengers leading into Battle of Winterfell
is one of the coolest things ever for TV and movie fans.
It's never going to happen again.
There's just never going to be things of this magnitude that happen to coincide on the same fucking weekend.
And it's wild that they both go like toe to toe you know it's not like you know when you're it's not like you it's no one's saying
oh damn i can't believe hbo like didn't didn't check the schedule and no one avengers was coming
out or no one's saying like avengers can't go up against thrones it's like you're both gonna do
fine like there was no nobody that there's no it's so fucking even i even tweeted out a poll i said
what's cooler when the white walker shatter or when the avengers like turn into dust what's like the cooler death exactly 50 50 down the
middle like everybody is in its own respective like story and genre is like these now these are
both the best ever and they happen to happen on the same fucking weekend that is never gonna
happen again it's the coolest shit ever just the story didn't pan out that great and moral of the story
you're allowed to critique things you're allowed to say what you don't like and that doesn't mean
that you're just trolling or coming up with it just to be contrarian or just to be different
how about this when people i mean just think about it logically what's what's like the um
the like the meme now is like hating things other people like doesn't make you an interesting person
or whatever exactly like by the way i had a hundred people tweet me that you you think i'm the unoriginal one right
there are a hundred of you sharing the same fucking sentence not to mention
those two things don't jive either if you say hating on things doesn't make you an interesting
person and then you turn around you tell me that i'm hating on it to get clicks and downloads
well if people don't like it, they wouldn't fucking download it.
So it makes no sense to say you're doing that for the business side of things.
And just loving it no matter what.
It's almost worse to me.
People who just would blindly hate is annoying.
People who just blindly love, like you can't tell me there was one part of that story
or that event that you were like, oh, all right.
I wish it went a little different.
And I mean like it just doesn't make sense.
It's like if you were basically what i was last year where i was like i'm just
gonna make jokes about game of thrones because i don't watch it okay i was i was trolling right
but you guys loved it for like eight years now to the point where you're starting podcasts about
doing reviews on your podcast already and now just don't like part of it like that's not okay
that's not just like randomly like could you imagine if you secretly loved it it goes so fucking awesome i'm not gonna say that i'm gonna say it would be you
know what's hard that would be never will you know because you know why it's hard and if i had to
like sit there and like basically script my reactions like all right that was really cool
but i'm gonna tell people it wasn't because of this that and the other thing what the fuck are
we talking people people do this i feel. Like, I forget what it was.
Like, someone said you can't.
Like, what, did Parsons not give you a paycheck if you're saying something positive?
Like, that's the same reason we were just talking about.
I loved episode two.
I've watched episode two, like, four times.
I thought episode two was fantastic.
Six days ago, I was talking about how much I loved an episode.
Now, like, I'm negative all the time.
Also, I mean, how many times, how many TV shows have I gushed over?
You know what I mean? Like, you can go back to all the blogs I used to write when. Also, how many TV shows have I gushed over? You know what I mean?
You can go back to all the blogs I used to write
when I was reviewing shows.
Plenty of shows.
I loved The Leftovers when everybody else in the world
fucking hated it.
I've done plenty of things.
But to just think that everything is always...
Again, it's just because someone disagrees with you.
That's really what it comes down to.
Sometimes the less interesting thing
is when everybody loves it.
You guys have just said that the net the maher shalali version of true detective was great and it was like that was the end of the conversation it was just like that
was really good everybody should watch that yeah sometimes it's tough when the when the message is
just like yeah cool like prove me wrong like don't don't just tell me don't don't tell me that i'm
just like i'm trolling tell me why it was good or tell me why I'm just like, I'm trolling. Tell me why it was good. Or tell me why this makes sense. Like somebody told me, uh, there's a scene where Tyrion tells a story about when he
was like a little boy and he watched these Beatles, like eat, eat an animal or eat another animal.
I don't know exactly what it was. And he tells the story being like, I wanted, I desperately
wanted to know why the Beatles did that. And then I learned the lesson is just because they wanted
to, they just like death,
you know?
And it was very like symbolic.
It was like,
Oh,
all right,
that's cool.
All right.
I get it.
Like if there was some,
if there's a lot of hints in there and a lot of things that just say like,
they just like death.
Okay.
But that you can still leave you wanting more and that's okay.
I'm just trying to let you know,
it's okay to have your own opinion and not be a fucking cheap.
It's crazy.
It really is. It's crazy.
It really is.
Let's get into these voicemails.
And like we say, Glenn Howerton coming up after that, along with our boy Jake Owen,
we talked a little country music and did a little t-shirt talk with him.
So a couple of big interviews coming up.
But first, voicemails are delivered by Postmates.
Postmates is the number one at-home delivery app.
And somebody said to me, well, what's the difference between this
and just any other delivery?
Like, well, you know, prior to Postmates,
you couldn't get McDonald's delivered.
You couldn't get your late night Taco Bell fix.
You couldn't get basically when you're high
or you're drunk and you need fix.
Postmates makes it all possible.
It's basically just,
it's like hiring you to go out
and buy something and bring it home.
You don't ever have to leave your house. You don't ever
have to get in the car. You don't ever have to talk to anybody.
You just go on, find one of the
25,000 different merchants that they have under
their umbrella. It could be
fast food, like I said, or it could be a pizza
place. It could be a full, nice restaurant.
There are fancy restaurants that will deliver
to you. CVS will deliver to you.
Liquor stores will deliver to you.
You're in a bind and you need a bottle of wine.
You got a lady friend coming over.
You don't have enough time to run out.
They're going to deliver you a nice bottle of wine while she comes over.
It saves time and it'll save money right now when you use the promo code KFC.
You get $100 of free delivery for your first seven days.
So sign up at Postmates.
Order whatever you want to order go to checkout it'll be a zero dollar delivery charge when you use the promo code
kfc voicemails what we got good night guys uh first time a long time just calling quick hypothetical
if you could pick one thing to get free for the rest of your life, what would you pick? It could be
not like huge things, like you can't be
like, I want free cars for the rest of my life, shit like that,
but you can do like free food
for the rest of your life. You can do free transportation
for the rest of your life, shit like that.
What would you take?
Free cars wouldn't even be, I guess if you wanted to get a new car every day
or something stupid like that, but free cars.
No, you gotta go practical here. It wouldn't even be financially beneficial.
No. Because you get a car every five years.
Yeah, no, that's stupid.
Would you go tins, tobacco?
No, I mean, it would have to be beers.
Yeah, alcohol.
Or just drinks and bars.
I think even food is too broad.
You couldn't say food.
You could say specifically a restaurant,
but you can't just say food.
What if I said like pizza, like a type of food?
Like the food you eat the most.
I guess I'll allow that.
Thank you.
But no, I think drinks and bars would be.
Can I say childcare?
Free childcare for life.
That would help.
What do I spend the most on right now?
It is those motherfucking kids.
I'm trying to think.
Tins are $10 a day.
That adds up.
That adds up. I mean, that's three grand
a year, right? I mean, I spend
way more than that on bad bars.
I'll even
make it more specific to whiskey.
Whiskey at bars. So my old fashions are free.
I guess.
You gotta go with one of your vices right I mean those are those are the things
if you got if you got any bad habits
you want free drugs for life you want free alcohol
for life you want free bets for life
you want free sex could you say
free sex could I say you know could you do a free
hooker for life because that that's where
I mean people are gonna
spend your most money on
I don't mind paying for
things that
aren't bad for you.
It's a food cost. I'm okay paying for food.
It makes sense.
When you spend money on things, it's terrible.
I shouldn't be doing this.
It's $50.
It's tougher to swallow that.
This is what I need to survive.
I'm fine paying for it.
Even if it costs more money, I'd rather pay for it when it's just like –
I still have a clear conscience paying for food.
I think ultimately, though, I'm going to go with Uber, like transportation.
Or can I do – I fucking hate, hate, and I'm about to do it,
paying for my monthly Metro card, my Metro North Pass.
Why? That's kind of the same thing. You just have to do it, paying for my monthly Metro card, my Metro North Pass. Why?
That's kind of the same thing.
You just have to do it.
I know.
But there's zero satisfaction out of it.
It's just like $200 down the drain every month just to be able to get to work.
That always bothered me, too, and I think it's overpriced.
Have you done it commuter-free?
No, of course not.
I mean, I don't do my expenses.
I don't do the pre-tax thing. I'm the worst. The Metro North seems overpriced to me. I don't know if it is. No, it's overpriced. Have you done commuters free? No, of course not. I mean, I don't do my expenses. I don't do the pre-tax thing.
I'm the worst.
The Metro North seems overpriced to me.
I don't know if it is.
No, it's not.
I mean, if you think about New Jersey Transit and Penn Station and Long Island Railroad.
Are they much more expensive?
No, but just like Metro North and Grand Central is a dream compared to the other ones.
So I don't know how much they cost, but if they're comparable at all, the Westchester,
New Haven, Connecticut life is a lot better than the Jersey and Long Island life commuting-wise.
I guess it's because it's like usually you compare the leap from being in the city to out, and then you only need the subway when you're in the city.
And then you need to go out, and you're still taking A train, and it's like five times the price.
The worst.
If I could cheat and lump it together, if I could do transportation like the guy said, and that would include Ubers, MetroCards,
and Metro North Passes,
it's not even the most lucrative choice.
I spend way more on alcohol than that,
but I get happiness out of alcohol.
I don't get happiness out of traveling from point A to point B.
That would be my pick, final answer.
I'm weird.
I just don't mind paying for things.
I don't try and find deals.
I'm just like, okay, this is what it costs.
So I don't know what that says about me.
It may be laziness.
Yeah, it's like when people are like, here's the illegal stream or like, here's the illegal download.
And I'll just pay for it.
Or like, I still have to go to New Orleans this weekend.
I still haven't bought my flights.
I'm just going to look at Expedia once.
I'm going to look at Southwest or whatever.
I'll get whatever flight makes
most sense. I won't even be like, well, if I get up at
4 a.m., I'll save $100.
I'm just going to pay what it costs.
Being not cheap is
the way to be. Yeah, I guess it's
not cheap. It's I make
money so I can... Oh,
shit. I just mean I make money. Yeah, there's
income. I have income.
Having income is funny because it's just like, yeah, I'll spend money.
I got more coming.
I get more in two weeks.
It's very easy to spend money.
Every paycheck is like, I'm rich.
And like 10 days from now, I'm like, where's this next paycheck?
That's all gone.
Where'd it go?
It's all gone.
I spent it on transportation and whiskey.
It's so easy to spend money.
I can't imagine not having a job.
Now I have to be careful with my money.
I'm like, I'll get more money soon.
John just unlocking the key of employment.
I do this work and you give me this money.
It just keeps coming.
It's so obvious, but it's also when you think about it,
it's almost like you're playing a game
where you know you're
getting your life back yeah like yeah like oh yeah i'll go i'll go fight those five guys i know
my health replenish yeah my turbo is about to like you know hit the roof again we're all good
i'll be fine hey guys um just a question you guys were talking about on thursday
the whole pillow situation um i have a lot of questions about that.
My boyfriend himself still has the same pillow from,
I literally have no idea when.
Why is this like a thing that guys do?
I don't think buy new pillows.
I know the price is like one thing,
like I said,
but why do men refuse to buy new pillows?
You come sleep in my bed.
I got you new pillows all the time.
I'm not on this train with fights. I'm not on this train with you broke boys who have fucking shitty pillows. You come sleep in my bed, I got you new pillows all the time. I'm not on this train
with fights.
I'm not on this train
with you broke boys
who have fucking
shitty pillows.
Mine is just,
it's something that
factors into my life
almost with everything
I do.
It's just like,
I guess I don't really
know what it's like
to be comfortable.
So I just,
I'm fine.
It's whatever.
It's like Jason Bourne
over here.
Just like give him
a fucking hardwood floor
Yeah
He's good to go
No I like to be
I like
I can sleep in the fucking driver's seat of a car man
Yeah
I like nice
I like it nice
I like a nice bed
I like a nice
I like nice sheets
I like fucking all sorts of pillows
I got
I got Tempur-Pedic ones
I got cooling ones
I got fluffy ones
I got stiff ones
I got it all man
I like it
I don't know
I want to be in the lap of luxury.
It's just not something I think about.
I don't think about it.
Like, I've been.
Are you going to, like, re-up your pillows?
Like, are you, like, every two years I buy new pillows?
Or is it just like I bought them once and they're nice?
Usually, like, something.
Usually I move or something like that.
Or usually when I catch a glimpse of one without the pillowcase and they're yellow that grosses me out and usually it's something i'll
like go to bed bath and beyond and i see it and i squeeze it i touch it i'm like oh fuck that was
that's that's comfy shit and i'll buy one so it's almost like an impulse purchase it's not like i
have a schedule like two years up gotta get my new pillows it's just somehow some way i end up
coming into more pillows i don't know how just the pillows arrive sky pillows yeah yeah right yeah it just happens it just just appears
but uh yeah i don't know what is it on that pillow life i i guess i i never get in bed and i'm like
oh my god this is so comfortable so i'm just like this is what bed is no i do that a lot i like it
like getting into bed is a very satisfying moment for me.
You should try it sometime.
If you had to spend
only one thing for comfort,
what would it be?
Probably clothes.
If I can cheat
and do a sweatpants, sweatshirt
matching thing.
This is where the great debate came from.
When I go home, I have like a rotation of like three pairs of pants that I put on.
All different types.
Depending on my mood.
And I'm like, I slide those on.
I do that change out of my clothes as soon as I walk in the door.
Like I am in my comfortable clothes immediately.
First thing I do before I,
if I need to use the bathroom,
if I'm hungry,
if I'm thirsty,
I got my sweats on immediately.
So that would be it.
Sweats,
some slippers,
a robe,
maybe a blanket.
Like you can get down with that gravity blanket world,
you know,
gravity blanket.
Yes.
But, but it's a cool,
common comfort blanket. That's not even like for comfort that's i guess i guess necessity
for peace of mind comfort but not like physical comfort but the uh i don't like a good if i gotta
narrow it down a good comfortable pair of sweatpants the best
what's up kfFC fights super producer BC
first time long time
I got a weird question for y'all
so one of my buddies
DM'd me a picture of this like
smoke show Asian chick the other day
and I immediately
was like wow she's fucking hot like I would smash
but my dick
nothing and I realized
it was the same truth like a lot of Asian chicks
a lot of black chicks too is my dick, nothing. And I realize it's the same truth. Like, a lot of Asian chicks, a lot of black chicks, too.
Just, is my dick racist?
Let me know.
Diva.
I mean, I think you are racist, bro.
I think your brain is.
Now, I guess he's saying in his head he thinks they're hot,
but his dick just won't comply?
I mean, that's crazy.
That's crazy.
I mean, it sounds like you just have erectile dysfunction, bro.
I don't know if you're racist.
I think you just got ED. I mean, if you just have erectile dysfunction, bro. I don't know if you're racist. I think you just got ED.
I mean, if you only have ED with people of color, you probably have a racist dick.
I mean, I guess.
You think?
I don't know.
I feel like they're connected.
It can make sense.
I mean, I've never had it happen on porn.
I think I could get off to any kind of porn ever.
I'm talking anything.
Not anything. I think I could get off to any kind of porn ever. Like, I'm talking anything. Not anything.
I think I could get off to anything.
That's not true.
There are certain lines you can't cross.
I haven't found it yet.
I mean, there are, like, illegal things that you can.
Oh, I mean, like, yeah.
I mean, yeah.
Something illegal.
I mean, anything I've ever watched.
Just regular ass, like, Pornhub porn.
I could.
I could.
Man, I watched Adriana Cechik put.
I watched Adriana Cechik push 21 bocce balls out of her asshole in a pool.
21 bocce balls?
It was just like the title was just like Adriana Cechik 21 balls.
And I was like, what does this even mean?
It was just morbid curiosity more than sex.
And she was just standing in a pool.
And the camera was underwater.
And she was just pushing what looked like bocce balls out of her butt bocce balls are huge huge they were maybe
the piccolo they were very like the littler ones and it was just like you know the camera was
underwater so you could hear like the water like you know gurgling around and you just see like
this ball hit the ground i was like what are we doing here who came up with this idea whatever
happened it just good old fucking
but it worked right
I mean I don't think I like
I don't think I got off to that one
I was in the mood I don't think I was like alright
I'm finishing while the blue ball is coming out
but yeah I mean I'm with you on that
I've had that happen
in real life
not with the
no no
this goes really hot definitely but that's like life what not with the bocce balls in the pool no no the like dick knock on my like i'm like this
goes really hot i like her a lot and like definitely but that that's like nerves or
whatever physiologically goes on when guys can't get their dick hard oh i mean that's definitely
happening i want to do this so bad that's why it's funny when girls are like is it me or like
oh my god you're not attracted it's like if you only knew what was going on inside my head if you
knew the things i wanted to do that my dick is just not complying, you would not be questioning whether
or not I'm attracted to you. I don't know, though.
I mean, I guess you're right. Yeah. There's no logical explanation.
If your brain is into it, you're completely alone. There should be no nerves or anything going on.
But it's just Asian and black women. Doesn't that just mean deep down your subconsciously
your brain's racist? I mean, listen, your dick can't be racist. It's just Asian and black women. Doesn't that just mean deep down your subconsciously brain, your brain's racist.
I mean,
listen,
your dick can't be racist.
It's just a dick.
So,
but something inside you is racist.
Something inside of you has got like your great,
great grandpappy.
Who's like,
Nope,
not those kind.
I just don't know it.
I like,
it's guys.
I guess just cause.
Yeah,
I think so.
Cause just cause you admit like,
like I,
I can say a guy's hot,
and I couldn't jerk off to him.
That's because I'm not gay.
Yeah, your dick's just not going to get hard,
but you objectively can know.
That's because you hate black people.
Yeah, so, like, there's a difference between, yeah,
you say that that girl's hot.
That's different than being turned on by.
Right, Thomas Jefferson found African-American women hot.
But his dick got hard for him.
His dick did get hard for him.
But he's still racist.
Well, definitely. Thomas Jefferson confirmed racist
but also was able to still get turned on by him
so you my friend are more racist
than Thomas Jefferson
and he owned black people
so you are racist
if you are so racist that behind closed doors
your dick will not work for another race
you might be like the most racist person alive.
Yeah, you say words like they infest stuff.
You dehumanize them at any, or at least your dick does.
Dehumanizes people at every given opportunity.
I'm not letting him off the hook.
I'm not letting him blame his dick.
Your dick is just an extension of your brain and your heart.
You got a racist heart and a racist brain.
You might not know it.
You might not know.
That's crazy to not be able to just like,
there's some very attractive black people and Asian people,
and you just, they just don't.
That's a huge portion of that map that you're eliminating
from future paramours.
It's also just, great vocabulary.
That's just disrespectful to the performer.
You know, maybe Asians are not your bag
maybe Ebony porn is not your scene
where did Ebony come from by the way?
the word?
why in porn is it the only time
I don't know it's funny
Ebony porn it's like they're just black people
black people porn is now Ebony
Ebony is just a color right?
is that like the actual word?
like if you look up
no one ever
called black people ebony people no absolutely it's just happened just in porn we just decided
like we're gonna if you say that's a word ruined by porn no doubt or not even ruined just only
exists because of porn if you say ebony you're thinking about a black girl having sex there's
there's no there's no other reason that we ever did that like eb, from what I can gather, in the past, the black people
were never referred to as Ebony.
Ebony. It's just porn.
We call it black porn. That's fine.
Blacked. What a great
fucking website. Blacked.
Except it's very funny that Ebony
here, her name is Ebony because she is the most
hypersexual person of all time. She sexually
harasses us on the daily.
On the reg. she will sexually harass all
the white boys here i'm gonna take some face shots this weekend oh okay heavenly okay calm your shit
down hey kfc fights and um to bruiser bc um there's a follow-up from last week's voicemail with the girl who took the food home with her.
I was recently on a hinge date, and the check comes at the end of the date,
and the girl said to me, you're not going to ask me anything,
so here I am acting all confused about what I possibly could have done wrong.
And she flipped out of it because I didn't ask her if she wanted dessert.
And then when I offered to get dessert for her,
she said it's too late now and the night's ruined.
Is this a thing I should have really offered?
Or is this, I mean, it was at a Mexican restaurant.
It wasn't like a cheesecake factory where dessert is included.
What do you mean now?
I think he means more of like a thing.
Like, you know, yeah, yeah I gotta get a slice of cheesecake
at a cheesecake restaurant
Mexican restaurant
what do you get?
churro
churro
no this girl sucks
this is not a thing
I kind of got lost
what happened?
she
the bill came
he reaches to pay for it
she goes you're not going to ask me anything
and he was like what?
she was like you're not going to ask if I want dessert
so then he was like oh okay
do you want dessert? and she said no not now the night's ruined this girl sucks yeah
i thought he was gonna say she was gonna be offended that he didn't offer to split it or let
her pay the bill or some like feminist bullshit and i was gonna say she sucks because of that
but to just be that's just something you just bring that up before the fucking bill comes i mean
you know what that's just a? That's just a poor job by
your waiter, to be honest. He should have asked the question.
But that's not on the date
to ask if you want dessert.
And bitch, if you want dessert, speak the fuck up.
Yeah, get dessert. You're here to eat
and what you want. First of all, I will be furious if you get
dessert. I think people who get dessert suck.
That's a ridiculous take.
That's utterly ridiculous.
I've never... I don't think I've ever been the person to be like, yes, we want dessert.
I will get dessert if someone else at the table gets it.
Well, those are two different things.
I know what you mean.
If you're getting the vibe that people want to get out of there or there's plans afterwards.
There are always plans afterwards.
I always want to get out of there.
Once I'm done with my food, I want to get the fuck out of there.
I do not want to just hang around the table.
And that's kind of what dessert is.
It's like, we'll get one, we'll put it in the middle of the table, and we'll just chat while we have little bites. No, I want to get the fuck out of there. I do not want to just hang around the table. And that's kind of what dessert is. It's like, we'll get one, we'll put it in the middle of the table,
and we'll just chat while we have little bites.
No, I want to get the fuck out of there.
I'm a dessert guy, so fuck you, John.
I want to go somewhere else.
I'm never going to go to dinner with you.
No, once I'm done with my meal, I am done with that establishment.
Right, but the meal includes dessert.
No, it doesn't.
For some people, it does.
Clearly, it does not.
For some people, it does.
What are you, the Cheesecake Factory?
Yeah.
I mean, if you go to Cheesecake Factory,
you don't get yourself chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake.
You're a fucking asshole.
Definitely wouldn't.
Oh, it's so good.
It's so good.
You'd be a terrible date.
I would be.
Terrible date.
No doubt.
I can assure you that.
But this is...
But, I mean, to get mad at someone, this is just childish.
This girl, like, absolutely, literally sucks.
You should not see her anymore.
You know what I got the other day?
People were tweeting us that it's rude
to not take your food if you don't finish it.
Fuck out of here. Suck
my dick. Get the fuck out of here.
Those are poor people justifying their...
That's some Midwest shit, I bet. Yeah, definitely.
Take my food home. I'm not going right home.
I don't want to carry around a fucking doggy bag.
You're going to go have a nightcap?
You're going to bring your plastic bag with your
styrofoam thing? Actually,
I went out fairly recently.
I went out with Keith
and my girlfriend for dinner.
And I had made the mistake of taking Adderall
shortly before dinner.
I was not hungry at all. So I barely
ate any of my food. So I did
take that to go. And
walking home, I never had any
intention of eating it myself i was just going
to give it to a homeless person and uh we were walking we were leaving uh i think the restaurant
was in chelsea and my girlfriend pointed out that there was a homeless guy across the street
she's like go give it to him i was like he's asleep you want it can you want credit she's like
so i want him to see me and say thank you. This chicken isn't for free, baby.
You got to make me feel like I'm a nice person to get this chicken.
I ended up just plopping it by a sleeping man.
I usually end up throwing it in the garbage.
You're a better man than me.
I'll take this home and then we walk a couple blocks and then someone wants to go somewhere.
Garbage.
They'll find it anyway.
A whole bunch of people will eventually get it.
I think it's very fair to be like,
I want someone to say thank you to me for it.
There's no point in being a good person
unless you get credit for being a good person.
One might argue...
I'm doing things, donating anonymously.
Get the fuck out of here.
One might argue that you're not even a good person.
I actually do do it anonymously.
I feel so weird when we do like gofundmes
and stuff like that when you like you type type your name in or it's like would you type it in
that is one of the true tests because it's like you want the credit but you don't want to be known
as the guy who wants the credit and you putting in your name and who you are and leaving a note
and all that shit is like hey everybody look at the money i'm donating if you're truly doing it
the goodness of your heart all that shit shouldn't matter so when it it's right there for you if
someone else puts it in there like great but when it's for you i i did it with my sister when she
was running the uh boss marathon and i tweeted out the link to her donation page what's that by the
way you have a certain amount of money to get in the marathon you just have to pay and then you
what do you do like a 50 50 thing thing with the charity. Sometimes I was like,
why am I donating money
so you can run?
Teams have an amount
you have to put in for a team.
So then you can join a team
and then I guess
however many people
on that team,
it's divided by that.
But,
so I tweeted the link
and I didn't want,
you know,
people to be like,
he's tweeting the link
and he's not even
giving any money.
So I donated,
but I was watching the Liverpool game while I was doing it so I just
made the name Mohamed Salah
and then I tweet and then I just
tweeted after like whoa
Mohamed Salah made a donation pretty cool
so I was like that's fine
I didn't put my name down
that is so many levels to get your fucking credit
it's unbelievable I'll pretend
to be someone and then tweet out the joke about it
so you put two and two together. What an
unbelievable dickhead you are. I'll walk you to the door for this one.
It was me who gave the money.

dad's car look in the window of like mcdonald, see his bald-ass head, know that I don't want to go in there.
You know what I mean?
Like, just the other day, didn't know they got a new car, didn't see them, walk into Wendy's, boom, ambushed by the whole family minus her.
So, I don't know.
What's some rules you guys think should be put in place for us?
This is an interesting idea.
Just a quick little side note.
Family outings to Wendy's?
This is a very poor white trash family. You're better off now, man. This is an interesting idea. Just a quick little side note. Family outings to Wendy's. This is a very poor
white trash family.
You're better off now, man.
Yeah.
You're lucky.
You dodged a bullet big time.
I like this idea.
It's a funny one.
Like,
you got to know
that that green Toyota
is coming.
Like,
get the fuck out of town.
It's a good one.
Haircut.
You get a haircut?
Dad told me.
A drastic haircut.
Wait, what?
You need your ex to tell you
if she got a new haircut.
Like a drastic haircut. Why? Like if I'm standing behind you. Oh, oh, oh. He'll spot you from a distance. Wait, what? You need your ex to tell you if she got a new haircut? Like a drastic haircut. Why?
Like if I'm standing behind you.
They'll spot you from a distance.
Like, hey, by the way, I'm a brunette now.
I got a short bob or whatever.
Yeah, you totally cut your hair and you have like amber rose hair.
I gotta know that.
What about, you have to know if she has a new boyfriend?
No, I do not want to know that.
What about if it's like someone you want to avoid though?
What if it's just like, hey, you know, like the guy at the pizza shop i'm banging him now oh i don't care don't tell me if i don't
if i don't know i don't get fine okay as long as like ignorance is bliss you just don't want but
what if what if he brings it up to you like i'm just trying to think of all the situations where
you might be ambushed like this guy no i'm fine with that okay i'm okay so haircut car makeup
makeup like the make of the car model make of the car
what about if she moves
you need to know
like where in town
she's gonna be
yup
I had that
with an ex-girlfriend
who
told me she moved
which was very nice
cause
I don't know
if this is why she did it
but she lived right near a bar
I really like
free
you can go back now
and it's just like
hey I live in Brooklyn now
definitely
oh perfect awesome awesome yeah if a girl's like if she leaves town But she lived right near a bar I really like. Free. You can go back now. And it was just like, hey, I live in Brooklyn now. Definitely.
Oh, perfect.
Awesome.
Awesome.
Yeah.
That's great. Yeah.
If a girl's like, if she leaves town or comes to your town, to your part of the town, you
know, she's like, hey, I'm moving to Murray Hill.
Oh, I think that like if she, if it was like an ex from Boston who was coming to New York
that weekend, I don't need to know that.
No, no, no.
But I think if she's like moving or living there or something, I think you need to know
where she is.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
You have to keep a,
just,
just general life up.
What other,
other,
other rules though?
It doesn't even have to be about like ways to avoid them.
Do you have any other rules for X breakup or,
or things like,
I have an idea that is patently ridiculous,
but like,
I think there should almost be a,
a,
like an agreed upon.
We're going to have sex.
Once a year, the ex is going to fuck.
Because the thing that you miss sometimes is having sex with them,
but you're like,
you have your boner brain
where it's like,
I want to fuck that girl again.
And then you do it,
and you're like, shit,
now I'm caught back up.
You know what I mean?
Now we're getting back together
or the feelings again.
If there was just an agreed upon,
like, hey,
we had really great sex together.
Like, just wait for that moment.
We'll get it out of our system
and we can continue being split up
and happy.
So you get,
maybe even a semi-annual,
you're going to have sex with your ex.
I get what you're saying.
I don't think I want that.
No?
Because I think I would get,
like, I would get,
I'd still get confused.
It's tough to, it's tough to like separate the two. But I think if you were like, like, I would get. You'd get caught up. I'd still get confused. Yeah. It's tough to, like, separate the two.
But I think if you were, like.
Everyone's done that where it's like, this is just sex.
Yeah, it never just is.
But if it was, like, a contractual thing.
When I say is it, I don't always mean it's the woman.
Sometimes it's me.
Yeah.
Someone's going to catch feelings.
I'd like something more than this.
Someone.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The idea of, like, just cutting everybody out like should it be you know you
break up it should be like i think that there should be an agreed upon especially in the social
media era you unfollow each other unfollow like but you both do it whether or not like even if
there's no hard feelings i'm like hey i would like to keep following you but it's like but it makes
it awkward and if i unfollow you and you don't unfollow me then that's rude and i like petty
we both unfollow each other but you'll alsoollow me, then that's rude, and I like petty.
We both unfollow each other.
But you'll also get a fence to follow or something. Yeah, you'll still check up on it,
but I think just to take the awkwardness
out of the actual follow.
Whether or not you still see their content,
that's up to you, but I think you can just say,
let's both unfollow.
I just saw the mute, so I threw an unfollow and a mute.
I threw an unfollow on Instagram
because the mute had not been invented yet.
Right.
Mute on Twitter.
Mute on Twitter.
That's a nice move.
That's fair.
I don't need to see how your life's going.
Let us know your rules to exes.
Things you want to create.
Things you want to make happen to make the transition out of a relationship life nice and easy.

Disgustingly dirty.

Why am I not grossed out?
He makes you feel dirty.
I feel the grossest I've ever felt in my whole life. Just because like... why don't I, why am I not grossed out? He makes you feel dirty. Yeah. The grossest I've ever felt

No, no, no, no.
It was all good stuff.
Yeah, it was.
It was.
So we saved the best stuff for the non-interview.
You got in last night, meaning that you were not able to watch Game of Thrones.
But like most couples in the world and most anybody in the world, everyone's watching it.
So you run into the issue of can your significant other watch without you?
Yeah.
What was the verdict?
Well, I don't know.
I don't know what she did
because I had to go to bed early.
You know, I'm in New York.
She's in LA.
And I don't know what she decided.
I mean, I told her how I felt.
You know, this is kind of the way I think is...
Brave of you.
You could argue that this is a very...
That this is like a healthy relationship.
This is how I feel, but I can't stop you from taking whatever action you decide to take.
You know what I mean?
And I'll understand, but I might be a little upset.
You know, sort of like I'll tell you how I feel, but I can't control you type of a thing.
It's actually very healthy.
What's funny, I think, is if it's a wife to a husband versus a husband to a wife, I think it's a very different game.
Well, can I tell you?
This is what I told her.
This is what I said.
I said, I would rather you wait because I would rather experience the thrills and the chills together for the first time.
And she goes, I get that.
I get that.
It's going to be really hard to wait and people are going to be talking about it.
I said, no, I know.
I understand.
I understand.
I get that.
I said, let me ask you, how would you feel if the tables were turned and you were out of town
and I watched it without you?
She was like, I wouldn't like that.
And I was like, well, there you go.
There's your answer.
You know, so I'm going to guess that she didn't watch it.
That's love, man.
That's seriously, that's love.
Yeah, but I don't know.
I don't know.
Maybe she watched it in July.
Well, that's what I did.
That's what I did that.
I did that for the entirety of the Sons of Anarchy show.
With my.
That's like eight or nine seasons.
With my roommate who it was.
It was a non-sexual relationship.
It was me and my buddy.
But we would watch every night.
We'd watch three episodes.
Yeah.
And then he had a real job.
So we'd have to go to work early in the morning.
So he'd go to bed, and I would stay up until like 2 in the morning watching Morrison's
of Anarchy.
Yeah.
And then the next night, I would watch those episodes again.
And I was scared to tell him that I'd been watching.
So I would watch.
I watched every Sun's Anarchy episode like three times.
His is true love, and yours is just socially awkward and weird.
But I do think, I think that like the, I'd say the – I mean Game of Thrones warrants watching more than once.
So I wouldn't even mind it that much if she did.
But it's like I knew that – I know that this week's episode was supposed to be like 85 minutes of just mayhem.
So I knew it was going to be like a big sort of –
Big deal.
Yeah, yeah.
So I have no idea.
Did you guys watch it? No, no, no. Because it of deal. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I have no idea. Did you guys, did you guys want, no, no, no.
Cause, cause it's interesting.
The spoil, spoiler culture is weird.
Uh, LaShawn McCoy, a football player spoiled Avengers for everyone.
And I mean, I think there are people who would actually murder him in cold blood if they
could.
Last night, one minute after Game of Thrones is over, spoilers galore.
Everyone's like, I don't know what the rules are anymore.
People are saying exactly what happened and who did who to what.
And, uh, but you know, if it was a movie end of the world, Game of Thrones, not so much. Yeah. I'm pretty good about the rules are anymore. People are saying exactly what happened and who did who to what. But, you know, if it was a movie, end of the world.
Game of Thrones, not so much.
Yeah, I'm pretty good about staying away from it.
I mean, I'll be on Twitter.
But, I mean, if I see anything, if I see even the name or any hint of it, I just go right past it.
How about your boys making a cameo?
Rob got an arrow through the eye a couple episodes.
That was a cool moment.
Yeah, that was cool.
I barely noticed it. Yeah, nobody saw it in saw in real time well so here's what i heard so um we're friends with the
the creators uh of the show and um they wrote one of my favorite sunny episodes flowers for charlie
yeah yeah those guys are great uh and and i actually went to college with another one of
the producer writers um brian cogman and actually um soman was just an actor. He wasn't even a writer prior
to Game of Thrones. He became an actor. I mean, that's a whole other story. You guys should have
Cogman in here and talk to him about how he became a writer on Game of Thrones because it's crazy.
The brief summary is that his wife was David Benioff's nanny. And that's how he kind of got
to know them. And then around the first season of the show, he, it's a whole, I won't tell you
the story because it's a great story. But anyway so cogman was at the house was at our house
uh last weekend because he wrote the second episode and so he and he invited a bunch of
his friends yeah and um and we sat and watched it at at our house why did i bring this up what
did you just ask you said um rob made his cameo oh yeah yeah yeah um so he told me while we were
at the house he said that uh he and Starr, who was also in the episode,
they actually had a whole scene together in the episode that led up to them getting killed.
And they had to cut the scene because it, I don't know if they, I don't think they cut it for time.
I think it just didn't make sense.
So he had a little more shine.
There was a little bit more, yeah.
That's got to be a tough cut where you're like're like look these are two bona fide stars who are i guess you know they're doing
a bit role and whatnot and that's gotta be a hard thing to and they were gassed up about it regular
regular extras probably pretty easy to be like whatever yeah they came all the way out to ireland
yeah yeah no i think uh you know i i don't know i mean for me i could also see it them looking at it and going you know what this is a great scene because they're good actors i the hell it was. Yeah, yeah. No, I think, you know, I don't know. I mean, for me, I could also see them looking at it and going,
you know what, this is a great scene because they're good actors.
I'm sure it was funny, but it's just, it would be distracting.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, it takes away from it a little bit.
The guy from Sunny and the guy from, you know, Silicon Valley or whatever.
Like, I don't know.
So maybe that's why they cut it.
They went, ah, this is just going to, we're going to get hammered for this.
Right.
It's not the right time to do a little bit.
I can see that.
What's the coolest opportunity you've kind of had through either Sonny or just fame in
general, like Rob had for that, for getting in on a big show like that?
I feel like everything I've done, I've had to push so hard to just get to be a part of
anything.
I don't know what it is.
It's like it doesn't, yeah.
I feel like Sonny is one of those weird shows where
there's two different conversations.
I've always joked that I can picture
people who make the decisions on awards
and stuff like that all getting in a room and being like,
oh my god, did you guys see that episode of Sonny?
So funny. I love that show. It's just a great bit.
Oh yeah, it's like my favorite show. Anyway,
let's talk about
who we're going to nominate for the Emmys this year.
It's like two different conversations, no doubt.
No, I mean, I'd say, to answer your question, I mean, Fargo came out of that.
Noah Hawley, the show's creator, was a, I don't know, I think he was a Sonny fan.
I mean, he certainly acted like he was.
And he, you know, so I know he's familiar with the show.
He must be, because Rob had a bit in that in season two, right?
Yeah, I think Noah is like he's familiar with the show. He must be because Rob had a bit in that in season two, right? Yeah.
Yeah.
I think, I think, yeah, I think Noah is like genuinely a fan of the show.
And, and John Landgraf, who's the president of FX knows that my background is actually
not in comedy.
And, you know, he had asked me many times, he's like, Hey, you want to come and do some
stuff in a, in an FX drama sometimes?
I was like, yeah, absolutely.
So that was actually a direct call from John Landgraf saying,
Hey, we got this thing and I think we're going to do Fargo.
And I was like,
Ooh,
that I,
at first I was like,
cause that's one of my favorite movies of all time.
I was like,
that,
that might be a bad idea.
Like really turn this.
Yeah.
Fargo.
I mean,
turning that into a series.
I thought that was the whole idea in general.
I think you appearing on it,
but you just mean no,
no,
no,
it being a TV show.
Yeah,
yeah,
exactly.
But he kind of explained it to me,
told me who Noah was.
and, and, and, and I actually read a couple of Noah's books. Yeah, yeah, exactly. But he kind of explained it to me, told me who Noah was, and I actually read a couple of Noah's books.
And they sent me the first script, and it was like the best script I'd ever read.
I mean, Noah's scripts were so good that the show was almost a letdown because that's how good the scripts were.
I mean, the show was amazing.
That's next level.
That's not book was better than movie.
That's script was better than show.
Yeah, no, it's crazy.
But that came out of Sunny.
That was a blast. I mean, I had so much fun doing that show.
You mentioned how your background's not in comedy.
Does that ever get frustrating?
If people just think of you as a funny guy?
Look, I'm Juilliard. I'm
king shit here. I'm not
just the funny guy. Well, first of all, I never
don't think of myself as king shit.
But it's totally fine for other people.
You know, I think for a while I found it a little frustrating.
I sort of learned to embrace it.
And also I think I learned to come to terms with something that I think has always been true, which is that I've always just gravitated toward comedy.
I don't think I ever quite realized it or wanted to admit it, but even when I was doing dramas, I was always making jokes and I was always finding what – everything I see, I see the humor in it.
I see the satire in it and my brain has just always worked that way since I was a kid.
So it just was inevitable.
When you say like admit it though, in your mind and i guess in other
actors minds is that considered lesser than like oh no no no i just need comedy is like the end
all be all oh yeah i would i would be more proud to be a funny guy than a yeah i think that's i
think that's fair to ask it because it almost does make it seem as though that's what i'm saying or
that's what we're talking about um i think maybe when you think of like what's considered prestigious.
Yeah.
You know, generally speaking, it's, you know, it's the dramas.
Well, it's the same conversation you just had about Sonny where it's just like for whatever reason it seems separate.
Right. Yeah, exactly.
So I think in that regard, it's, you know, I guess it could be perceived by some as like quote-unquote lesser than.
But I mean I think most people appreciate comedy and I think people – you could make a strong argument that somebody who's really good at acting in comedy would also make a good dramatic actor because it's almost like – I mean to me the best comedic performers are the ones that are acting in a very – taking you know, playing real objectives like, like an actor
does that, that, that, that they're, they're coming from a place of, of real need for the
character and that's where the comedy comes from. And, um, but, uh, yeah, I mean, but I would like
to do more drama and I, and I, and I will in the future, I think it's going to be a little bit of
an uphill climb because, you know, you're so goddamn funny. just so damn funny. No, I don't.
You know, yeah, you get pigeonholed a little bit, which I get.
I get.
I've done it as a producer.
I've been pitched people things, and I'm like, oh, that guy's not funny.
And then I catch myself doing it. I'm like, well, I don't know that.
How the fuck do I know if this guy's funny or not?
Just because he's done a bunch of dramas?
What's a role, a drama role out there right now that you think you would have crushed,
that you would have liked to have?
Fillmore TV. a drama role out there right now that you think you would have crushed, you would have liked to have?
Fillmore TV.
You know, I don't think that way. I think when I first moved out to Hollywood and started acting consistently,
I felt like I saw more actors that were maybe my contemporaries
or the people I would be competing for roles
against and, and thought like, oh, that guy's not that good. Why is this guy working all the time?
But most of the time, especially these days, I don't find that to be the case. You know, I, I
find that like a lot of my contemporaries, like the guys that are, are really like sort of big
stars or, or, or really well-respected, um, actors who work all the time that are my age and would be maybe playing the
roles that I would be playing if,
if I could get them,
um,
are all really,
really good.
They're really great at what they do.
So I,
so yeah,
I get a little frustrated if I see somebody who's not that good,
but not if they,
not if they do.
Give me an income.
Temptate. Uh, no, no. Tempting.
No, but I'm talking about – I'm not even talking about like somebody who I'm seeing something and it's like once or twice.
Because then it's like, well, yeah, they got the part.
They gave it a shot.
They weren't that good and they didn't work that much afterwards because they just weren't that good.
Whatever.
But it's rare that somebody just gets shot after shot after
shot after shot if they're not if they're not that good yeah did i read uh did i hear correctly that
you were maybe in the running to be startled word in the avengers yeah i didn't that would have been
a nice one yeah you know it's funny i i i i do think about that um you know i i've i saw chris
pratt in the waiting room um at that, actually, as I was walking out.
I didn't feel that good about the audition. I guess I know James Gunn called me in because he's a Sonny fan.
And, you know, and he wanted the role to be I think, you know, he wanted it to be cheeky and funny.
And, you know, so in that sense, it made it like, it made sense for me to maybe play that role. And,
but I didn't feel that great about the audition. I felt okay about it, but I walked out, I saw
Chris Pratt and I was like, Oh, that guy's perfect for this. I really did. Um, and when he got it,
I was like, yeah, I kind of, I kind of called that. And I, and I thought he was so, so great
in it. But, um, yeah, it's one of those things where like, I would never say, obviously, like,
if I'd gotten that part, I would have been so excited and I would have done it. But yeah, I think about the other side
of it. You know, I've got, I've got a wife and I've got two kids. And you know, when you, when
you hit that level and you're, and you, you, you know, I love the idea of, of starring in movies
because as an actor, you get to just play a wide variety of roles. And if you're in demand, you get
to decide what you want to do, you know what I mean? And getting, getting to get sent a bunch
of scripts and go, do I want to do this? Do I want to do you know what i mean and getting getting to get sent a bunch of scripts and go do i want to do this do i want to do this i mean that's
that's the dream because you get to express yourself in so many different ways but the
downside to it is all that travel i mean you're traveling all around the world constantly you're
promoting and you're promoting and that's what we've had we've had a few of the parks and rec
people in here and they said they have like a group chat and chris pratt's still in it and
they're always trying to get together and a lot of them do get together very often and chris is always replying
like can't i'm in japan can't yeah and he's like i'll be home in 20 i'll be home for like 22 hours
in la if anyone can meet up with me then that's great yeah but he's consumed you very very rarely
around yeah that becomes your family exactly that's that that part of it seems that part of
it seems tough i'm not sure how how i would handle something like that i mean i think people just
think of all the all the glitz and the glamour and the fame and the money and all this kind of stuff, and it's great.
But it's just so much coming at you.
I would imagine that's also a difficult – you're talking about how it's shedding kind of the comedy.
But I imagine shedding the superhero image would be tough too to go to a real drama from that.
Yeah.
Well, I mean the movie business is – it's all like indie films and superhero movies
so it's kind of one or the other so i don't know wild right yeah um no i mean i feel i feel really
fortunate to be in the position that i'm in i mean i i i really just i i'm so proud of what we did on
it's always sunny in philadelphia and what we're continuing to do and um and then falling into this
this ap bio gig was just like i mean it was i don't know it's a perfect like transition in a
way because it's similar
and you still get,
your fans still kind of
get what they expect
but it's a whole new
character for you.
So season two
is cooking right now
and your character
believes he has come up
with the recipe,
the formula for happiness.
Four things here.
Which,
this is very apropos
for us on this podcast
to try to figure out
how to be happy.
So the four things.
One, do a physical job so that you can see the results, the fruit of your labor.
Two, mundane celebrations to help distract you from death.
Three, eat sugary, fatty, and salty things.
And two, find someone within a 20-mile radius of you to procreate so that your legacy lives on.
That's it, guys.
I don't know what's so fucking hard.
Just do the four things.
I mean, I, I, I certainly have had friends who, um, you know, life is so simple to them.
It's just like, you know, go to work and hopefully you do a job that you enjoy.
And, you know, I got a buddy who's a horticulturist and he's a, you know, he just grows plants
and he loves it.
He loves plants.
And as the card says that you just read,
he gets to enjoy the fruits, the results of his labor
as he watches his beautiful plants grow.
And then he's got two kids, and he goes fishing.
Life's pretty simple.
It's those of us out there that are super ambitious that are unhappy.
Fucking ambitious.
He's never enough.
He's such a bitch.
Like you just said, when he likes to go fishing,
he kind of reminds me of the guy from Office Space.
Yes. Where it's like, what would you do if you had a million dollars?
Two chicks at the same time.
Really doesn't have many aspirations
bigger than that.
Are those your four
as well? What are Glenn Howerton's four?
Not Jack's.
I tend to be
sort of somewhat
unsatisfied, which I think in a good way is
the good way of looking
at it is that it, you know, it keeps the fire in the belly and it keeps me creative and it keeps
me like trying new things. But the downside to it is that it's true. If you're not careful,
nothing's ever enough, you know? And I think, I think that really is the key to unhappiness is
that, is that you think that once you hit a certain level or you make a certain amount of money that then you're going to be happy. And I think when a lot of
people get to that place, they actually, their dreams actually do come true. Let's say, let's
take a movie star, for instance, you know, like I'm a movie star. I did it. I'm making all this
money and I'm in all these movies and I get all this adulation. And, and then, and then they're
like, Oh, but I'm still not happy. What the fuck is going on here? Like, it's not enough.
And so, you know, so then you try to get more,
but there is no more.
That's sort of it.
It's not a thing that more fixes.
It's not a thing that more fixes.
You need something different, not just more of what you have,
even if what you have seems great.
Yeah, yeah.
And so I think to a certain degree, you know,
that could be the key to happiness.
It's funny because that's the thing I love about Jack is that he can, he can discover that
through studying the people of the town of Toledo and go, this, this seems to be the key to
happiness because I'm surrounded by all these losers who seem to be so happy. We're so much
happier than me and I'm a winner and I'm not happy. It's like, what the hell's going on?
So he knows that. And yet at the same time, I mean, that's the, that's sort of the, the,
the key, uh, I guess, uh, tension in the episode is a man who knows what's going to make him happy and yet can't give in to it.
Right.
I think the key to happiness, and this is a blunt way to put it, is stupidity.
It's true.
I think if you're in his bliss, man.
To not know how much else is out there or to not know how much else you could possibly have or not know how much you don't have.
I think that's the key.
Yeah.
I think even when it comes to like, um, like you said, like, like someone who just a blue
collar person, not, not to say that blue collar people are stupid, but just that you're, you're
just like, this is fine.
This is enough.
And then that's, I think that's a stupid belief.
So therefore stupidity would be the key.
I think that's, that's certainly one way to, to, to do it.
Or, I mean, I, and I think some people are just sort of born, uh, more able to sort of live be the key. I think that's certainly one way to do it. And I think some people are just
sort of born more
able to sort of live in the present. I mean,
my buddy who I was just talking about, he's the kind of guy, you know,
he's my age. He's in his early 40s
and he's been drinking beer like we
have since our teens. And yet,
he'll sit down and have a really good beer and he'll
just sit there and he'll take a sip of it and be like, man,
that's a good beer.
That's perfect. That's a good beer. It's perfect.
That's a good fucking beer.
You know what I mean?
Like, you know, where it's like, you're like funnel that shit, get it in you.
Or you're like drinking it and you're going, man, this beer's all right.
But there's probably a better one.
Cause there's this, you know, there's 60 taps, man.
I'm at a beer place.
I got to try every single one.
He's sitting down, he's sipping it and he's going, that's a good beer.
Yeah.
That's fucking deep.
I love that.
I wish I was like that.
Some people sit at the bar and they just want to bud light, and some people want to go to the micro brew with the 60 taps.
You're all drinking, but one person's happy and one person's scanning the menu.
Like, oh, I need to find the best one.
I got to find the perfect beer.
Life is all about finding the perfect beer.
Speaking of the perfect beer, or something, I guess,
you had your list of the things you can't live without.
Oh, my God.
Wait, say what?
Your list of the things you can't live without.
I had this?
Yes.
I think it was in Strategist, something in the New York Times, maybe.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know what you're talking about.
It was the worst I've ever seen in my life.
It was the worst.
Okay, no, no.
It had two different kinds of crackers on it.
Oh, no, no.
And none of them were good crackers.
They weren't even Ritz crackers, sir.
Oh, my God.
That's so fucking funny.
I love that.
It was New York Magazine.
Can I say something?
Okay, so after I did that, after I did that, I took a step back and I went, what did I just do?
What did I just do?
Because on the one hand, you know, it was sort of a weirdly
honest portrayal of, of the things that I like. And then the second hand, like I looked
at it and I was like, this is going to be, this is going to look so lame. But then I
was like, oh, fuck it. Who cares? But then, I don't know. But let's talk about this.
No, no, no, no, no. I want to know.
If I were to be like, yo, do you know Glenn Howerton? He's the funniest dude, coolest
guy. Here's what you need to know about him. They would be like, I never want to talk to this guy again.
It was Simple Mills Almond Flour Crackers with Fine Ground Sea Salt was the one cracker.
And the other was Siete Lime Grain Free Tortilla Chips.
Those are terrible fucking snacks, dude.
Number three on the list.
Sugary, fatty.
That's what it's all about.
Hold on a second.
Have you tried them?
No, of course not.
I actually, I'm not going to judge the style of cracker because my favorite cracker is,
I think it's called the perfect chip.
It's spinach and kale.
So it sounds terrible to people too.
But it's a great cracker.
I'm going to say, I'll give you that.
But I mean, maybe if I had to live with something, I would take one cracker.
Okay.
But I, no, I, listen, I, first of all, I appreciate you guys' honesty.
I do. And, uh, and, listen, I, first of all, I appreciate you guys' honesty. I do.
And, uh, and you're not wrong in a sense. You're not wrong. Cause it's really a pretty lame list.
I'll tell you something that I did that I actually told them, um, was supposed to be one of my
things and they didn't put it on there. And you guys would be heckling the shit out of me if they
had, I don't think they put it on here. But one of the things that I've, that I've done that has
been an absolute game changer is I went to a podiatrist and i had him mold orthotics to my foot yep i have them i know
what you're talking about okay so so so how do you feel about that's that's a fucking sweet move
i mean when you got fucked up feet and then and then they like it's like how was i living without
these exactly like it's it's the net it's like people know and then i'll have i'll tell people
that i did that and they're like oh yeah i've got these dr shawls i'm like people, and then I'll have, I'll tell people that I did that, and they're like, oh yeah, I've got these Dr.
Scholls. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. Let me stop you.
Let me stop you. Did you go see Dr.
Scholl? Did he fucking
mold it to your foot?
Shut up about your stupid Dr. Scholls.
We're not even talking about the same
thing. I'm saying a man
put a mold on my foot,
so my orthotic, you can't
wear my orthotic.
It goes to my foot. It's fuckingotic, you can't wear my orthotic. It goes to my foot.
It's fucking amazing, man.
It's a game changer.
But I can see how that would be, like, super lame to some people.
What else is on that list?
Let's talk about this.
So there's the almond crackers, the Circuit Skin Fix-It Plus, which is an acne dropper, like, for pimples.
So, yeah, I mean, you know, as somebody who's on camera, like know i gotta i gotta blast those zits out i don't get them very often but like
that thing fucking works man that's i got i saw that and i was like lame right that was not lame
like i just don't think you have them that often well i don't but when i do you gotta have it yeah
you got good skin by the way thank you very much take that going to say, Keith, the head doesn't fit through the door as it is, man.
Coconut oil, La Turingle.
Turingle.
Turingle.
I don't know where the hell.
I didn't give them that brand.
That was some bullshit.
Okay.
All I said was, I think I said it.
You put this on your skin.
Yeah.
You put it in your hair.
Yeah.
And you put it in your fucking coffee.
Yeah.
All the same thing?
Yeah.
Holy moly.
Look, I'm not.
That's a Swiss Army knife right there.
That's a pretty good knife.
Yeah, that's a good way of putting it.
Coconut oil is the Swiss Army knife.
You put lotion in your coffee?
What's going on?
It moisturizes you inside and out.
Hurrah moon lip balm.
Oh, that stuff's amazing, dude.
I enjoy a good, yeah, I mean, if my lips are chapped, I want to just like chop my head off.
So check this out.
Get the hurrah Moon Balm
and put it on at night
before you go to bed
and you don't need
lip balm the next day
because your lips
are so fucking moist.
I have a little theory.
This guy's an idiot.
He's an idiot.
What he's about to say
is stupid.
I think that the only people
who need lip balm
are people who use lip balm.
I've never used lip balm
in my life
and I don't think
I've ever had chapped lips.
You know what?
I think there's something to that. I really do. I think it, I think there's
something to, I think your body, no, no, I think you're right. I think it's, I think it's probably
true that if you use lip balm all the time, your body goes, well, I don't need to do this anymore.
And so you're lazy. Yeah. Your body gets laid. Your body, your body goes, oh, this guy's got
it handled. He's got hurrah. So you just, you know, commercial. Yeah, no, I think you're right.
I think you're right, man. I, I got addicted to it and it, and I think maybe I'm going to try what you're talking about.
It's the same thing.
When I was in high school, I stopped using face cleaner because that would dry you out too much,
and then you'd break out when you got a little bit of sweat.
So I haven't used any special face cleaner in forever, and we just heard I have nice skin.
You've got great skin.
I think I'm on to something.
Because you're not washing all the sebum off your skin.
That's right.
Sebum?
Sebum.
Look it up.
You also have a Vitamix blender and a nasal spray.
So the Vitamix.
And a pair of Nike flyknit kicks, which go with your orthotics.
Well, that's just.
Well, actually, you know what?
With the flyknits, I don't wear the orthotics generally.
Wow.
I don't feel like I need them in those.
The Vitamix, I'll fucking blend anything.
I'll blend it.
I'll make a giant fucking plate of food, and if I don't have time to eat it, I'll throw it in the Vitamix, add some water, and fucking drink that shit.
Like, on the go, man.
I'm not a foodie.
I'm a just get it in me.
Same way.
Just get it in me.
I eat to survive.
That's it.
That's great.
So do you eat healthy?
No, I should, but it doesn't make any sense, right?
No, here's the thing.
You have an advantage that some people don't have.
And so far as like you don't care that much about like the way the food tastes or whatever.
Like you're not like you don't have like a super sophisticated palate.
Right.
So for guys like.
I'm going to get back in the compliment.
I don't take it.
No, no, no.
Well, it's not a compliment.
You're a little trash, baby.
But the advantage to that that I found is that because I don't care, like I also kind of take pride in being able to eat like super gnarly shit because I just don't care.
Like I'll just put some salt on it and be like, that's fine.
I don't care.
So the advantage you have is that you can eat really gnarly, healthy shit and not fucking care.
Yeah, I can.
I definitely can.
I don't.
I don't eat Sour Patch Kids for dinner.
But like that's, this is my point, right? I can. I definitely can. I don't. I still get interested in eating Sour Patch Kids for dinner. Yeah, but like that's,
this is my point, right?
I just need something in me.
I could eat anything,
but I almost feel like I should
just because of who I am,
which is a little trash baby.
So I'm going to give you a little tip.
I'm going to give you a little tip, right?
Because you're probably not eating enough vegetables.
Probably not.
Just stick them in a fucking vitamin.
Get a Vitamix.
Get a bunch of vegetables,
you know what I mean?
And put some protein powder in there to make it taste good.
Blend it up with some water.
Just get a fucking juice, some vegetables, and just drink it.
Just get it in you.
That's what I should do.
I'll smash the green juices and stuff like that.
Don't juice it because when you juice it, first of all,
juicers are a fucking pain in the ass to clean.
Vitamix, all you do is literally stick it in.
You drink the whole vegetable.
You're getting the whole vegetable.
It's like an infomercial right now.
Bam! Drinking a vegetable. Bam!
$29.99!
It's true. It's true. I didn't get any
money for this either. I didn't get any money for this.
I should. Damn it. We want to wrap up
here. We interviewed Danny
maybe a month ago, I'd say.
How was that? Did he make any sense?
I'm serious. He was great. He was very good.
Sometimes he just starts talking and you're like, I don't know what the fuck he's talking about. I'm serious. He was great. He was very good. Sometimes he just starts talking.
You're like, I don't know what the fuck he's talking about.
Just record it.
There was some part where he was talking about finding your feather and he was going on and on.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
And you're like, is this – you know what he did when we first cast him?
He would start talking and me and Rob and Charlie would be looking at each other.
Is he talking in character right now?
What's happening?
And we would find out there'd be,
like he told this one story about like,
he was like, yeah, my grandfather kept a fucking tin
with teeth in it.
And I was like, what the fuck is he talking about?
And then afterwards we're like, oh, he was,
oh, he's creating his character.
He's talking in character.
Oh, Jesus.
Anyway, sorry.
Well, this is actually an unaired bit that we're going to play for the first time.
Disney wouldn't let us air it.
Disney asked us to cut it because we asked him if there was ever a role,
a script that Frank, that Danny said no to.
Okay.
So this was his.
I have.
There was one show that they, but it wasn't like serious thing.
It's like kind of like a, it's a long story, but I was reading the script that they needed to do that day.
We were going to start with the new thing.
They threw a curveball at me.
It was like 11 o'clock in the morning.
We were going to go to a 1 o'clock read-through of it.
And I wanted to read it before I went.
And I read it, and it was scathing.
It was just the most horrible.
I got banged like six times.
I was in jail.
I got raped by a white supremacist.
I got, you know, raped by cops.
I was laying on my stomach with my ass like burning.
And they kept doing the show.
They kept going back to the bar.
But then they cut to me in a different rapes.
It's awful. And I said,
any second now, let him call my lawyer.
I'm not doing this fucking thing. And then
I got to the last line. And the last
scene was the cop is letting me go
and he says, well, you're not going to leave without
saying goodbye, are you? And he
grabs me and throws me on the floor and he bangs me
in front of a bunch of cops.
And I'm laying there on my stomach and I go, what the fuck?
And the guy leans down into the, like it says in the script, he leans down close to Frank and he says, April Fool, motherfucker.
That's a true story.
What an all time move by you guys. Yeah. He pulled an April Fool's joke on us where we showed up at a hotel and we were all there.
And he had the manager come down to tell us that we were all in the same room.
Sorry, we ran out of rooms. We're going to stick you guys all in the same room.
We're like the level of fucking disrespect that's happening right now from FX to fucking book us at a hotel where we're all in the same room. Assholes. So, yeah, we sent – we wrote a – we had a script where we took the entire B story out of the script and we changed it to where, like, Danny did something.
Frank did something and he ended up going to jail.
And he's in jail.
And the second he gets there, like, he just gets raped by, like – he just – he gets raped by, like, a gang basically.
He gets gang raped.
And then – so then the white supremacists come to him and they go, look, man, you're a white guy.
You're just going to keep getting raped in here.
You better join our group.
Otherwise, you're going to get – it's just going to keep happening.
So he joins the white supremacists just to survive in prison, which I think is a real thing.
That actually does happen because we wanted it to make it seem like it was a real thing.
And then, of course, he gets raped by all the white supremacists.
So then again – and it cuts back to a totally different storyline.
He's got his own storyline.
And then it cuts to the end.
Yeah, and the cops, you know, he goes to the prison guards and he's like, you guys got to help me.
Everybody's raping me.
There's nothing I can do.
They're like, well, don't worry about it.
You're getting out.
It's all good.
You know, and so the cops, yeah, just like Danny said, they're like, well, you're not going to leave without saying goodbye.
And then it wasn't one cop.
He gets raped by all the cops.
All the fucking cops.
What's unbelievable is that he was like, I can't believe that it was real.
There was no point where he was like, all right, this is a joke.
He was like, shit, they really want me to do this.
That's right.
And he really was.
He was like, I got to call my lawyer.
I don't know.
I got to say no to these guys.
And it's too late.
We got to shoot this fucking thing.
It was like a last minute thing.
All time stuff, man.
I mean, obviously everyone's excited for Sonny,
but AP Bio is cooking in season two.
It's a very funny show also.
So check that out.
Get your Vitamix blender.
AP Bio is one of the funniest network shows I've ever seen.
And that almost seems like you were saying, yeah.
But I mean, I guess kind of it is for network shows.
Network shows typically aren't as funny. Network shows typically the emmy nominations the modern families in the big bang
theories right whereas you know the really funny shows are always sunny and and now i think ap bios
up there as well it's a little bit of a hybrid we like to i mean that's how it comes off to me it's
like it's almost like a network cable hybrid yeah definitely definitely yeah but thank you i appreciate
it i i'm having so much fun on the show i'm i'm very happy with it and i think it really found its stride in season two you and
patents you have a great rapport you guys friendly offset as well yeah uh patents just a great guy
and the whole cast is like super funny everybody's really really nice i mean i it's like i don't have
any horror stories to tell it's like the greatest gig ever man i mean you found your beer dude yeah
i found my beer i'm very i'm very i'm sipping on that show and I'm like, this is delicious.
And no, but like, I mean, I get to hang out with Patton Oswalt all day long and, and,
and Paula Pell, like two of the funniest human beings on earth.
Like imagine sitting around talking to those fucking guys.
It's like getting like, I'm going to school every day.
It's great.
Is Patton one of the people who have been like, um, it was really difficult, not difficult,
but intimidating to work on set with him?
With Patton?
Yeah. No,on? Yeah.
No, he doesn't.
I mean, the very first table read that we did of the show, and I was already a big fan of his.
And, you know, I sat down and I was just so excited to meet him because, again, I'm just a huge fan.
And, yeah, I sat down with Patton and I sat and before I could even say anything to him, he was like, oh, my God.
He's like, dude, I'm so happy to meet you.
Like, he just came on so, like, so happy. And he's a big sunny fan. And so, I don't know, we broke
the ice really quickly. And I mean, he's just not, I don't know. He's not a, there's nothing
intimidating about him. And what I mean by that is just, he's so down to earth. Like he doesn't,
there's no pretense there. And I'm the same way. I really don't like, you know, I get uncomfortable
if somebody puts me on a pedestal.
I really am uncomfortable with the idea of celebrity, with the idea of being put on a pedestal.
You know, but it's like you want it both ways.
You want the respect and you want people to love your show.
When you're in a hotel room.
It's kind of like put me on a pedestal but don't tell me.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

Jake Owen, let's talk to him.
He loses it all.
So I was like, how do you live?
And he said he spends $14 to go out at night because he goes and he buys a $14 bottle of rum
and just shots a Blackheart rum by himself.
It's like, I mean, get some whiskey or vodka or some vodka or some vodka or some vodka or some vodka
or some vodka
or some vodka
or some vodka
or some vodka
Cheap rum by yourself.
I feel like you have to
stop drinking rum
when you turn 16.
Yeah, absolutely.
I think everybody drinks rum.
Alright, when you're on vacation
maybe you have some rum,
whatever.
You drink rum like once.
You know,
like I drank like a bottle
of Bacardi rum
and never again
because I was like,
this is terrible.
I was like 15,
never again.
I'll put some rum
every now and then
like a pina colada.
Yeah, like if you're
doing like a beach drink or whatever. Yeah, like if you're doing a beach drink.
Yeah, yeah.
But to just be like, all right, Friday night, time to go out.
Where's the rum?
That's crazy.
Unless you're a fucking pirate.
Who's drinking rum?
Do you know what the pirate said when he turned 80?
No, what?
I'm 80.
I love it.
I'm stealing the fuck out of it.
You should.
You should, dude.
I'm sitting here going,
arrr.
All right.
We're cracking some jokes right now in studio
with Jake Owen,
fucking music superstar.
Good looking guy
wearing some awesome boots.
Keep going.
I will keep going
because I was just being
professional and doing
my research,
reading your Wikipedia page.
Oh, yeah.
Because those are true.
Yeah. Well, it said you were a good golfer and then and then you had a
wakeboarding accident and then while you were recovering you just like picked up a guitar
and now you can do this yeah is that true pretty much okay fuck you yeah fuck you then yeah that
part's true fuck you yeah so like a wakeboard accident is the best thing that ever happened
to you yeah uh yeah i mean in a weird roundabout way, yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's kind of wild.
I think anything in life is you just never –
it always seems that when you make plans for life,
that's when life actually happens, right?
It completely deters you from what you ever thought you were going to do.
Yep.
But sometimes those weird turns in the road that kind of turn you on another road,
it's like, well, I was going to play golf, maybe turn professional,
but instead I'll just sing. You're a really good golfer, right? I'm all right. I mean, I'll take your fucking money that's like yeah it's like well i was gonna like play golf maybe turn professional but instead i'll just say this is a really good golfer right i'm all right i mean i'll take your fucking money good anybody's taking my money but i feel like you're
taking money off a lot of people man uh yeah you're just one of those guys who can do it all
so i hate your guts no man i can't i can't do it all i definitely can't what can't you do
what are you terrible at dude i'll be honest with you like uh i don't know
i don't know i'm pretty good like i could i could rattle off like so many things that i'm bad at
yeah like yeah i suck at math i'm not good at math i'm not good at uh like remembering where
i put my wallet or my keys terrible at that that's just like yep that's right yeah like right now i
don't even have my i don't even know where my money clip is, and I've had it all day.
I think it might be, yeah, I don't know.
Maybe it's in that blue jacket.
Yeah, I got it.
Whatever, I have more money, it's fine.
Luckily, I'm rich too.
I lost my debit card last night.
Yeah? Late night?
No, I just don't know where I put it.
I mean, that's...
So you got a bad memory.
No, but I don't have a bad memory.
That's the thing.
Like, I just have selective memory.
Okay.
And over here is my manager, and he tells me all the time, he's like, dude, you have the
worst memory ever.
And I'm like, no.
No.
I don't.
I just don't feel like remembering stupid shit that you guys can throw at me every single
day.
Like, you know?
That's why I have you.
To remember the dumb shit.
Exactly.
I feel that.
Uh,
so you got this new album out.
Greetings from Jake.
Yeah.
And,
uh,
I just even looking at the album.
It's greetings from Jake.
You have to dot,
dot,
dot,
dot Jake.
I think you did a good job the first time.
Yeah.
So did I.
So did I.
Fuck you.
No,
I didn't think it was that good.
Greetings.
Cause if you go greetings from Jake, people are like, wait, what?
Oh, it's all one thing.
It's all one word.
Yeah.
Y'all are overthinking this, man.
You're overthinking it way more than I did.
I just wrote greetings from dot, dot, dot, Jake.
It looks like a fun album to me.
What if I would have put a question mark at the end of it?
Greetings from Jake?
Really fucking people.
Yeah.
Like, is it like he's going to change?
Do we have time to fix it?
I mean, maybe.
Like Ron Burgundy?
Yeah.
Or you leave it like, is he going to change his name from Jake?
Is he Jake?
You should do a name change at some point.
You did change your name.
It's Jake.
Yeah.
What's up with that?
It's greetings from Jake.
It's a soft J.
Why not Josh Owen?
Well.
Jake's a sexier name?
No, no, no.
I'll tell you why.
People ask me that a lot.
They're like, did you like your label? Make you you change your name so i grew up always being called josh um when i moved
always being called it's your name it's like i was i grew up being called kevin that's my name
yeah and uh but when i moved to nashville though um there was josh turner was on the radio uh josh
grayson was a guy on the radio there was another guy named Josh Owen
I stopped off at the BMI to turn in some songs
and I said here's my CD or something
the lady's like didn't you drop one off yesterday
I was like no and she's like yeah you did
I said no I didn't
she handed me a CD and she's like Josh Owen right here
and I left that day
I was like I gotta change my name so I'm not
another Josh right but my granddad
I never got to meet my granddad.
Bless his heart.
He passed away right before I was brought into the world.
And his name was Jake.
And he loved country music.
My mom said like it's so weird now to see me playing country music because she said growing up, she used to ride in the truck with him.
He was in the Orange Grove business.
So they'd ride in the Orange Groves and he'd be playing some old Merle Haggard or something.
And he would like tap her on the leg while she was sitting over next to him.
And he's like, that's good music right there.
And she was just like, I hated country music.
So she said all these years later to think that her own son is a country singer and going
by Jake, which is her dad's name.
It's pretty cool.
So, um, way more people know me as Jake now than ever knew me as Josh.
So I would imagine.
Yeah.
Doing pretty good.
Doing pretty good as Jake Owens.
So let's roll with that
I feel like you even
just need stories like that
like yeah my granddaddy
was in the Orange Grove business
yeah
that just sounds like
a country song
I was like
that's a country guy
right there
yeah both of my granddads
were man
my dad's dad
he's still living
he's 96
and his wife's 95
they've been married
for 70 years
shout out granddad nanny
married for 70 that's too long yeah too many Shout out, granddad and nanny. Married for 70.
That's too long.
Yeah.
Too many years.
That's a lot of years.
The most years.
95, 96.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah.
Shout out to that.
He was in the orange grow business, too.
So, everything, everywhere down in Florida, I mean, agriculture down there.
Oh, yeah.
You know, it was really big with Florida citrus.
And now, not so much.
It's all going to, like, South America and California.
Because they got some weird, like, disease in the fruit down there.
Really?
Yeah.
I know.
You learned something here today, right?
Do you, like, how do you take people hating on Florida?
Because, like, it's a bad state.
You think so?
Yeah.
Florida state.
I mean, it's not a good state.
Where are you from?
I'm from Massachusetts.
I went to Florida state, though.
Same as you.
You did?
Yeah.
Why would you go to Florida state if it's a shitty state? Like, I don't understand. Because I'm from Massachusetts. I went to Florida State, though. Same as you. You did? Yeah. Why would you go to Florida State if it's a shitty state?
Like, I don't understand.
Because I'm not smart.
Well, they always have, like, Florida man stories, right?
Like a stereotypical Florida.
Someone ate someone's face in Florida.
I just saw that yesterday, yeah.
And they said, like, they shot him and everything.
They were like, they just kept eating dude's face.
That's Florida.
He really wanted to eat that face
he was determined but yeah there is definitely weird florida stories and stuff like i'm so i
mean i'm super proud to be from florida man it's everything about my life it's made me who i am is
because of florida like you ever eat anybody's face i never ate anybody's face but i've i've
ate you know like like yesterday i ate what? What are you laughing at?
Yesterday I ate some like, what was it I had yesterday?
It was buffalo cauliflower.
You ever tried that?
Oh, yeah, actually.
Buffalo cauliflower is pretty good.
I feel like that's hot in the streets right now.
Buffalo cauliflower is big right now.
Not quite as good as Facebook.
It's okay.
I know where you guys thought I was going though.
Yeah.
I actually was.
I was actually going there actually.
And then I was like, I just talked to all my granddad
and my grandma.
I just saw an announcement.
You're naming your baby girl Paris.
Is that true?
How we arrive at that name?
Well, my little girl now,
her name is Pearl.
And so we just wanted,
we wanted something that sounded good.
You know, like,
I know as weird as that sounds, I mean, we didn't want like paris and bonnie you know what i mean so uh we uh i just or excuse
me pearl and bonnie so um i just i was looking through names man i was like i like piper i liked
phoebe i liked uh penelope you were big on p i just like peas like it just sounded like paris
and or like yeah like you know Piper and Pearl or whatever.
So yeah, we picked that.
Naming someone's so weird. It's like the
strangest thing where it's just like,
make this thing up.
We're just going to make it up and then
this is going to be your name forever or until you
decide to change it. How long did it take you to go
through names? Pretty long time.
I mean,
we got lucky where her aunt suggested it and i
liked it because of the mets and i was like i i thought i never thought that was his name yeah
she's shay and then so yeah unfortunately and her aunt had had suggested it and i kind of laughed
at the dinner table i was like yeah right like there's no way i'm gonna get like a mets name and
and caitlin was like you know that's pretty good i was like a word okay let's go let's run with that
but until we had like a you know that recommendation we were like worlds apart especially
with girls every girl name that i threw out she was like no i knew a slut like that in high school
i knew i knew some bitch named that i'm like well everybody every name has had a slut or a
bitch at some point so every time i would bring up a name like that to my girlfriend about this
new the new tower she's like oh no this girl in high school she was yeah she was a total slut i'm not naming her after that i'm like well like every name is gonna i mean
no one's gonna know about that girl you knew in high school like 30 years ago so
like nikki was definitely out of the question i wasn't naming her nikki
that's a slutty name especially with two k's you know big time and i
shout out to all my Nickys out there.
Shout out to my Nickens.
I found it much easier.
Naming a boy was a lot easier.
Naming girls was a lot easier.
Yeah, I got a boy and a girl.
Right on.
Why aren't you named Kevin?
You're not married?
Why aren't you named Kevin?
Well, I'm divorced.
Me too, bro.
Right there.
Give it up.
Right on.
Hey, we tried.
Yeah, we tried.
Didn't work.
Didn't work.
Not 70 years. Kevin, I wasn't going to do do a junior i don't want to do a junior all right uh yes man 70 after making it not even close
to 70 it's like 70 years it's a long time to be married dude it's a different world uh what
sports teams do you like well i uh i like the titans tennessee titans oh yeah i mean i've just i moved to
nashville 15 years ago and um i kind of was just like you know what i'm gonna start pulling for
the titans and they've never really hadn't been good the whole time i've been there but
they're a fun team they're great man and now we have an awesome yeah unbelievable uh for able i
got to know him really well um when i was out on tour with kenny chesney years ago when he was in
houston and so he was always just such a cool guy
and would always invite us out to work out with the team and stuff.
And when we found out he was coming to Nashville,
I thought, I was like, this is going to be great.
I mean, last year in his first year, I think he did all right.
That's the type of guy to turn your franchise around.
Totally.
And then, you know, we got some good draft picks and stuff like that.
So I'm eager to see what happens here, you know, this year.
And I think we'll do all right.
I think Mariota and Mariota's.
He's like a de facto, like if the Patriots just like got wiped off the face of the earth for some reason.
God willing, maybe one day you would be a Titans fan, right?
Yeah, of course.
I'm a secondary Titans fan because Vrabel's actually a friend of the program.
Do you think the Music City Miracle was a forward pass?
It's pretty fucking close.
No.
It's really close. Because my buddy
Ando over here wears this Buffalo Bills hat
everywhere we go.
He's pretty convinced of that, huh?
Yeah, he thinks it's a forward pass.
It's close and if I was a Buffalo fan, it definitely would be.
Yeah, of course.
For sure if I'm a Buffalo Bills fan.
Bill Cowher told us that it was not a forward pass.
Whatever Bill says is gospel.
Vrabel is the type of guy, the way I always describe him,
is she was my best friend, my brother, and my father all in one shot.
Like, I want to hang out with him, but I want him to teach me everything.
He is like everything that I'm not.
He's like a man's man, and I'm just like, hey, look at me. My I want to. He is like everything that I'm not. He's like a man's man.
And I'm just like, hey, look at me.
My name's Kevin.
Kev.
Pretty much.
I'm Kev.
Nice, Kevy.
Do you resent Nashville for becoming such a bachelorette town?
No.
No?
I don't.
I mean, I think it's really entertaining.
I think that it's done great things for our city.
I get, you know, I kind of get perturbed with people that are talking about, like, oh, Nashville used to be not so crowded.
Like, it's getting over.
Good.
Hipster shit.
Yeah.
No, it's not even so much.
Well, I don't know if I'm misinterpreting what you're saying, but I'll just say the hipster side of things, like, it's not like hipsters are moving to Nashville or anything like that.
It's more or less just people that are just, you know, closed-minded. is a good thing we've done a lot with our city in the last um just in the last five years but i can understand
where like it probably at one point was really uh you know like maybe a town for artists and
and like up and coming and now it's a little more commercialized than I can understand where people
get a little angered by.
It's great for our business.
So,
I mean,
if it,
I think it's just make,
it's put national more on the map.
It's national,
so much fun.
It's such a great place full of great people,
kind people,
um,
and lots of talented people from singers and songwriters to,
I mean,
business people that people come in there starting amazing.
I mean,
healthcare industry,
there's huge. It always has been. We've got tons of, um, colleges Vanderbilt. I mean, business people. The people come in there and start an amazing, I mean, healthcare industry there is huge.
It always has been.
We've got tons of colleges,
Vanderbilt.
I mean, so it's just a cool spot.
I'll never be upset
at the fact that with growth,
you know what I mean?
That makes sense.
Would you go back to Florida?
Are you happy
you're staying put in Nashville?
I like Nashville.
I mean, I have a farm in Nashville
and I never thought
I'd own a farm
growing up on the beach, but now that I a place i mean a lot like tons of acres like
goes on on the farm um country boys and girls getting down on it yeah uh but uh yeah i mean
i don't know i like all kinds of stuff dude i got a little golf hole out there that i'll hit balls
on you know and i love searching for arrowheads that's like my favorite thing to do um i know
that's weird.
That's some rich people shit.
What do you do in your spare time?
I look for arrowheads.
No, it's like stoner shit.
It's not rich people shit.
How many did you find?
I stare at the ground and look for rocks.
It was carved by another man.
It was probably high when he was carving that rock.
So it's really fulfilling.
How many have you found in your lifetime?
A ton of them.
Like a shit ton.
Because like six would be a lot for me.
Dude, I've found the most.
And I'm obsessed with it in a way that I just find,
like you can find, I mean, I find chips all the time.
And like when you're looking for arrowheads,
I say arrowheads when you're looking for artifacts
is what the real people would call it, right?
Because you can find anything from like bowls and tools and things like that oh yeah this is some stoner shit yeah this is wild
yeah yeah and so but i mean i've found some amazing like perfect ones that i mean and some
of these are from like paleo era like thousands of years ago and um anyways i just dude where i
live in nashville there's a lot of history, Native American history there, Civil War history. You can find that cool stuff out on my farm, too.
And it borders this river.
So they all camped out there, like, years ago.
And so when I was building and clearing land and stuff, anywhere there's dirt, man, I go out there, like, after it rains, and they just grow from out of the ground.
But you've got to think, like, it's been a while.
I did not anticipate this being the topic of discussion.
Yeah. I did not anticipate this being the topic of discussion. Well, my brother laughs at me because he knows that I just get overwhelmed, man, with work and stuff sometimes, being out here and people needing things from me all the time.
And I do.
I get frustrated.
And Jared's like, dude, sometimes you're just such a dick.
And I'm like, but he's like, but you're not a dick when you go home, man, because you just put your phone away and you just go look for arrowheads.
It's like Corona, like find your beach and relax.
I just go find my arrowheads. I'm just going to go look for arrowheads. I's like, it's like Corona, like find your beach and relax. I just go find my arrowheads.
I'm just going to go
look for arrowheads.
I love it, man.
One of these days,
you guys come to Nashville,
come find some arrowheads.
Yes, done.
I would love to go
arrowhead.
Drink some beers,
you know.
What do you,
what do you think
would have happened
if you didn't have that,
that wakeboarding accident?
Where do you think you'd be?
You think you would be like,
were you good enough
to like play golf
as a career or?
No. I mean, my dad would tell you I was yeah my dad would say man you really he really wanted it for me because he never fulfilled his dream of playing professional golf my dad's great was a great
player but i always felt like i was trying to fulfill the dream that my dad didn't fulfill
and i don't know if i ever loved i don't know if i ever loved it that way varsity blues i don't know if I ever loved it that way. Varsity Blues, I don't want your life.
Right?
Exactly.
But I don't know where I'd, I don't know.
I mean, I could do it.
I'd do anything.
I love kids.
Like, I would have been a good teacher, I think.
No way.
Yeah.
You like teaching?
No, I just like, I like kids, man.
I just like, I would love to teach, like, you to teach first grade or something, kindergarten.
That sounds awful.
That sounds like the worst thing ever.
Yeah, well, I mean, so does Massachusetts.
If you had to live in the north, no arrowhead hunting, no Orange Grove business, no country music.
You got to pick a northern city slicker, cold weather, crowded, dirty.
Chicago.
Throw Chicago out.
Doesn't count.
That's midway.
Yeah.
Like east coast, northeast shit city.
Oh, shit city?
Yeah, like New York.
One of these fucking awful places.
Why would I want to live in a shit city, though?
Well, you have to.
I'm saying if you were forced to, which one would you pick?
I don't know. I don't know i don't know probably like right i don't know maybe boston there you go good good answer it's a cool that's a cool town it's a cool town yeah i was in rhode island the
other day that was pretty cool whereabouts uh providence oh yeah uh that was cool and then
we went to uh we were in newport new um i'm a big newport guy yeah so that was cool um And then we went to, we were in Newport. I'm a big Newport guy.
Yeah, so that was cool.
I don't know.
What the fuck are we talking about here?
You guys, you country folk, you can't handle the city. You're just trying to make shit up right now?
Well, we got five more minutes left.
I ran out of materials.
List cities.
I just, you guys, I feel like if you were to live my life in this city
you would like
I would hate it
yeah
I told my manager
that today
I appreciate New York
for what it is
but I just
I'll tell you why
I love Nashville
is because people
are nice man
I just like cool people
I like people that
open the door
not here
here I was opening
a door for a lady
yesterday
and she just looked
at me like I was
a Martian or something
and I'm like sorry chivalry is dead I guess nice people are I was opening a door for a lady yesterday and she just looked at me like I was a Martian or something.
I'm like, sorry, chivalry's dead, I guess.
At least in New York City it is, but nice people
are exhausting? Yeah, because you have to talk to them and shit.
What do you mean, man? It's better
to just not talk to people. Just be a dick
and ignore everybody. Do you sunburn easily?
Yes.
As a matter of fact, yes.
That was so mean. See yeah that was so like
