Do you think he would sell out the garden easily? One show he would. Yeah. Yeah, because he would build it up. There'd be other barstool people. Like a one-off, yes.

Second night, no. All right. Kirk Seamus Minahan in the building. Seamus is the middle name. Seamus is the middle name, yep. I like that. Yep, it was my great-grandfather's name. Nobody cares. Nobody cares.

Well, he asked the question. I'm going to tell you. He just said, is it the name? He didn't say, what's the etymology of the name? Good word. And my son's middle name as well, Seamus. S-E-A-M-U-S. S-E-A.

How's the other way to spell it? Somebody spelled it with an H, I think. They spelled Sean with an H. It's the wrong way to spell it. This is incorrect. Oh, you think that's right? You think it should be with an E? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I think spelling Sean with an H is the wrong way to spell it. That's just incorrect. Oh, you think that's right? You think it should be with an E? Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Oh. I think that's the pressure wave. Okay. Yeah, I never thought of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so fresh off your second dozen playoff victory. Yeah.

Going to Chicago for the first Final Four. Yeah. Clearly, I shouldn't say clearly, one of the two or three people who take the dozen absolutely the most serious. I was going to say clearly, but like Brandon Stakes' net worth on it as well. But he's like wrestling about it. I take this super.

This is all you've got. This is all I care about. Three-time MVP? There's only been three years. Three-time MVP. But now it's valid. Up until this point, zero playoff wins. Well, great, but now it's valid.

Fantastic. Jordan didn't win the title. I talked to him yesterday oh yeah you're retiring right this is it well

now that he's winning now that he's fucking winning if that wasn't the realest moment Kirk has ever had coming to this win or lose I'm retiring get a couple

get the dopamine from winning well you know put it this way I was like when we were taking pictures after I was I hugged Rico I was like, when we were taking pictures after, I hugged Rico.

I was like chest pumping Quigs. Yeah, totally. I don't even know who he is. I don't know his name. I don't know if I saw him. What is Quigs' first name? Oh, I don't even know that. Sean. I think it's Lawrence.

Larry. Larry. It is Sean. Yeah, okay. He's with Nature. Do you know what his last name is? Yes, Quigs. NASA.

I think his name's NASA. I know he was in NASA and he's a nice guy. Sean Quigley. He's a good guy. He does a good job. I thought he was going to be like Savant at trivia. It's hard. It's a weird.

Well, like you said, you either know it or you don't. You can't really think through it. It's not smart or dumb. It's like, do you know shit or do you don't know shit? Well, you're dumb if you don't know Oz was the HBO prison. You are. You are a fucking idiot if you don't know Oz was the HBO prison. You are. You are a fucking idiot if you don't know that.

No, but it's, yeah. I took my, I was just talking about this like off air. Like, 3.30 in the morning last night,

I was so jacked up for the match. It was 10 a.m. And I couldn't sleep. I took melatonin. And I don't regularly take melatonin. And the day after, I drag ass so bad. I genuinely believe,

sitting right now, if I didn't take melatonin last night, I'd know Oz. Oh, really? Yeah. You think it's that much of it? Yeah. I can see that. I can see that. Frank, if I didn't take melatonin last night, I know Oz. Oh, really? You think it's that much? Yeah, I can see that. I can see that.

Frank said he took an edible at like 9 a.m. and he was fucking out of it during the match. Really? Wait, for real? He said he took an edible? Yeah.

Frank Fleming? Yeah. A weed edible? Yeah, I think. What the fuck? I mean, I know he takes other edibles. I just means he ate a pizza.

I remember he took an edible. So we tied, and then the final round is again one of those Board matchups So I did three of them I got the three right for us You can go all three in a row? No, I did one, four, and five Oh, got it

The first one was me and Frank And it was the total worldwide gross Of the film Donnie Darko, which is a cult movie, but not a huge box office. See, that's a – These are questions – I guess 12.8. Yeah, these are questions that I'm just like, I cannot believe anybody would ever know this answer.

Well, yeah, so I guess 12.8. I forget what the answer was. I think I was pretty close. Frank gets $600 million. So I felt pretty confident that we got that one. But that's something he probably just hears worldwide and doesn't know what this movie is. It's got to be a lot. I don't know.

I've never been to an Olive Garden. I've never had their breadsticks. You've never been to an Olive Garden? I've never been to an Olive Garden. Really? I like that. You would like it, I think. What is the combined calories of 12 breadsticks?

I thought they were like 500 calories each. I actually think that answer is wrong. I think that's one of those things Olive Garden tells you. I've of 12 breadsticks? I thought there were like 500 calories each. I actually think that answer is wrong. I think that's one of those things Olive Garden tells you. I've had those breadsticks. There's no fucking way there's 100 calories. I was thinking to myself, they've got to be like- Literally no chance. They're smothered in butter and all that.

And the answer was basically 100 calories of breadstick. It was like 1,300. I was like, there's no fucking way that is true. I'm amazed. On the road, you guys would never go. Is that a snobby issue is that just uh i just never i there was never one like near me growing up we're not like we don't eat pasta we're not a pasta family so like i was like that with wendy's when i grew up there's no wendy's

near me i've never been to a wendy's still to this day never i've never had been no the chicken nuggets are the best nuggets in the game nuggets yeah yeah yeah so i don't know um i feel like everyone has like their family did X restaurants. I never did Taco Bell. You were McDonald's. But like my family never did Taco Bell. But when I broke out and did it, I was like this is the best thing I've ever done. What town did you grow up in? Fall River?

Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. So you were down there. Yeah. So 99 is a lot? Yeah. There's a 99 like right off the floor. Right there. We went to like Bennigan's.

Do you guys have that? No, it's like 99. It's called Bennigan's. Bennigan's isn't really the guy. Massachusetts one. Ground round. Bennigan's not. Ground round guys have that? No, it's like 99. It's called Bennigan's. Bennigan's isn't really the guy. Massachusetts one. Ground Round. Bennigan's not. Ground Round we have, but yeah, it's gone now.

But yeah, so the dozen is like your, the only thing stopping you from the train station. Yeah, I wouldn't be working if it wasn't for the dozen. I would retire. Is that right? I feel like you've been talking about retiring from podcasting in general too. I had a nice conversation with Dave this morning. Who knows where the future is? What'd you say? We just talked about my future and whether I'm going to stay at the company.. I had a nice conversation with Dave this morning. Who knows where the future is? What did you say?

We just talked about my future and whether I'm going to stay at the company. We had a good discussion. Would you go somewhere else or would you just stop wherever? No, no, no. So it's either Barstool or you're just sitting on your ass. Yeah. I think someone like you needs to work or golf or you got to do something. I agree.

But the thing with this company is the dozen might save Kirk's family. No question. No question. I'm sure you're fine now, but you got to make sure you put your kids through college and all that. I'm lucky. That's all. I've done,

I've handled all that, but I do like, I still like working. I still like doing the show a couple of days a week. But like, do you really? Cause I'm, I'm honestly thinking about how old,

you know, I'll be 50 next year. So by the way, that's a trick. You're going to like this. I like the way that that sounds it makes you sound distinguished and older i'm actually 48 but i'm turning 50 next year so i've been saying that i say it all the time i'll be 50 next year i feel like i'm george clooney when i say i'm not because that's a lot better than 49 that's a shitty age i was wondering wondering how I was going to like it. You're right. I like it a lot.

Next year I'll be turning 50. I feel like I thought you were older, or I don't realize how old I am, because I was about to say- How old are you? If I'm going to do this for 20 more years, and it's only 10. How old are you? I'm 38, so I'm only 10 years younger than you. You get a lot of miles, though. I mean, I did this from the fucking jump, you know?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Been dealing with Dave for 15 years. But these guys leave me totally, completely alone. As long as I don't do something stupid, which I have done. You haven't in a long time. I don't sing any rap songs. I don't even know them. The thing saving Kirk is he likes Springsteen.

He's good. Tone Loke never said the fucking Colbert Dean. He's a slur. I'm in business. So they leave me, you know. And like I have a nice little crowd. I feel like in a way. I feel like we have a similar.

You like live shows. Yeah. I think we have a similar audience. You're probably bigger than I am. But I mean like we have sort of that same core group. We do our live shows. We do our thing. We stay.

We're in a little silo. We interact. We stay the fuck out of it. Yeah. Yeah. Just easier. Well, you know, there comes a time where you just stop caring as much. Correct.

That's correct. We were just talking to Eddie, and we were talking about all his drama. He gave up caring years ago. Oh, that drama. I talked to him about that. Did you get the real answers or no? You know. Yeah.

You want them? No, I know them. You got the camera answers. But there was a time where I would, if that sort of thing happened to me i don't know i would probably do what they're doing just like i don't fucking care just get out of here and like you know and there was a time where i'd be like we're gonna fucking drag this down knock you out you know and eventually you just you can't you there's only so many rounds of drama it's like the first time you do it you're like whoa and the second time you do it it just keeps

diminishing to the point where you're like well i'm not going to get worked up about this because it's going to happen something else can happen in six months that's just as big of a deal i also think shows especially at barstool right i think shows like that just shows in general whether it's uh like i think you know i know whitney really well it seems like biz runs that show now he's taking over that operation fine rigs uh chicago needs that and i know for me it's just me so i think i want i feel like that's probably More Kevin than you I feel like

Operationally The straw that stirs the dress No question about that But I think It's a comedy Yes So that's But that's

I think once you figure That stuff out And I don't know If that's what they had going on But like Once you figure out that drama And it's kind of like I'm in control

It's like a band Like it is like a band In a way. Somebody does have to eventually at the end call the shots. You guys might be different because you're in your own little world. People keep saying that, but we are the only show that does barstool people on our show. We've been doing – once the Dave show ended, we are the only people who does inter-barstool conversations. I'd argue we're the most involved Barstool people.

No, you don't. But I would have Barstool people. They just don't want to come on. I did the trivia show yesterday. I've gotten so much softer and nicer. I'm essentially cuddly now. Yeah, you're a pussy. You've lost your ass.

No question. So we did the trivia yesterday against the macro dosing team. I don't know the young lady's name on the team. Mad Dog. Mad Dog. But like super sensitive after the game. Mad Dog. Mad Dog. But like super sensitive after the game. She's like,

you're the biggest asshole I've ever met. Really? I'm like, what were you saying during the game? I just talked shit when the game was over. What did you say about her? Nothing. I said nothing about her. I said to her,

I said, oh, you played really well. And she's like, this woman is texting her about this stuff right now. These women are all working together. And she's like, I said,

you played really well. She's cool. She's got dead parents, too. How long have they been dead for? No, I don't care. How close do they die apart from each other? No. She's only half.

She had parents. I did put the S on. You have one dead parent? You have nothing. What? I was like, oh, you play really well. She's like, oh, you mean for a girl? And she walked away.

I'm like, what is going on here? That's a little. I mean, yeah, listen, the old days of a lot of things are gone and the thick skin is. But I would never claim like when all this stuff with Minty was going on and all these people were like, you know, people, a lot of people like this isn't the Barstool I know. I'm like, well, like, unless you were there like 10 years ago. I've been here for four years. There's a lot of people who say, fans who are like, I had fans at the live show who were like, bro, I've been reading since like 2017. I never want to put myself in that.

We had already sold out. Also, with the Mincy thing, that decision gets made in any era ever, I think, almost. If you're going gonna lose a decent amount of money for an absolute nobody jay pulls that trigger every time so that's the bad example to use yeah i agree but anyway but yes a long answer yes trivia jeff d low jeff d low being conceived is why i'm going to stay at this company as long as it's all i care about the show whatever the case of care so what is the case solve the murder don Solve the murder, don't solve the murder, whatever. All I want to know is did I get my niche right? Did I get my bonus right?

Victim's family is reaching out to me. Hey, can you help me out? Sure, but I've got trivia next to me. Trivia too. I'm sorry. I don't think I can do it. Turo is the world's largest car sharing marketplace. With Turo, you can book any car you want for just about any occasion.

Is it just like, I win, now I go home?

Are you going to have a fucking party? Are you going to have a victory lap? I remember reading a story about David Duvall, the golfer. He got to number one in the world, and then he won the British Open, won his first major. And then the next morning, he said, is that all there is? I think I'm going to have one of those moments. What else do you live for? mean repeating is is great but you know also at what point does it doesn't

trivia peak for you like just in general i'm yeah well i i can say definitively like this year versus last year it was like it was like the world baseball classic it went from like i don't think anybody knows or cares about it so this year people care yeah yeah i feel like people are super like every every team cares it used to be like brandon and you and then like like i was in it and i was like i had a playoff a playoff game against dave and i was kind of like whatever let's get this over with do you want to win and go i know when we're do you want to win and go to chicago i want to win and do it i didn't really want i don't want to go yeah i don't want to go to chicago but i will i'm not gonna like throw the game i do want to win do you guys enjoy these you enjoy going want to go to Chicago. Yeah, I don't want to go to Chicago, but I will. I'm not going to throw the game. I do want to win.

Do you guys enjoy going on the road and doing these shows? I do, yeah. You like going to Texas? I don't have a family and stuff. I got nothing going on. That's when you enjoy it the most, I think, is when you can get away. Yeah, you know what? For me, it's just like a logistical problem. Yeah.

It's just days. I have to shift weekends with my kids and all that shit. If you're divorced, it makes a whole, you can leave your kids and come back and it's all fine. I have to be like, well, if I'm gone this weekend, then I can't, and I don't see them this weekend. I'm going to two weeks without, it's a whole fucking thing. When we're there and doing it, I like it.

And actually this, this last round, I was, I used to not even like being on stage. Now I like being on stage. So now I'm like all about it. Now I'm like, let's fucking paddle to the drug. I get a huge kick out of it. It used to be a, a on stage now i like being on stage so now i'm like all about it now i'm like let's fucking paddle to the drug i get a huge kick out yeah like it's a it used to be a like a labor for me and i'd be nervous and i would be like critical and then this last round i was like this is good easy and we're like we're good like i know i think in the past i knew our show wasn't that good i was like it's fine but i don't think it's good now i think it's genuinely good and i can like let's go right I also disagree with this in the past.

I think it was always pretty good. You think so? But, like, we had this – I think I told you this. One of the fans said, did you guys, like, take a course or a class or get advice on how to do live shows? Because there was that much improvement. And I think I believe that there's that much improvement. Because when I think I'm good at something, I'll do it. When I think I'm not, I'm like, should I be spending my time doing something else?

I'm trying to figure out the value for me of doing that, going to other parts of the country. I can tell my audience is getting bigger. Do I want to do a show with 300 people in Des Moines? I don't know. Des Moines, I don't know. I'm just saying, whatever. I always say that about some of these comics who are huge and they still go to Des Moines. Is it worth the money, though, to go do it for a couple hundred?

I don't know. Yeah. I don't know what your money situation is if your kid's already through college. Yeah, they're – Maybe not. Yeah, fine. But I don't think if I were you, it probably would not be about the money. It would be about like the satisfaction.

Because we do show – like we do different kinds of shows. We'll do it in front of a couple hundred people and just do the podcast. But when we do it in front of a couple thousand people, then it becomes like a production. Like it's almost like a play. And like I can't go do that every all the time i just can't like so i love doing it like i like what's that you can't come out on a cross every time well i can't they carry me the casket last yeah yeah and the next show is going to be even crazier so one day it's gonna be you hanging yeah they're gonna be like wow like that looks really real i I remember talking to Steve Rogers before the first show. I was like, can we do a thing where literally a train comes in somewhere

and I jump out like an action scene? She's like, I don't think we can do that. If you had some sort of wooden flat train. You could do a fucking high school play. Yeah, have someone run by with it. A bunch of guys dressed in black running with the train. That's not the way I'd do it. Go big or go home.

Well, yeah, I don't know. But I don't know. If you went to like LA, do you think you would sell? Like how many people? No, not like 2,000. Would you like 300? Maybe. If you fill a comedy club, that's like a 200 or 300 person venue.

There are plenty of people who do that for their living. Oh, I totally get that. I think a couple hundred maybe, but I feel like after that, my audience is still – Heavy Northeast. Big Northeast. Yeah. But like I could tell in other pockets.

You got to have one of the least diverse crowds ever, right? I mean, when you start your crowd, are you blown away by the diversity in the audience? Yo, we did one in Boston. We did the Wilbury that night. Not a single gay person. Not one gay person. I couldn't believe it. What do you mean?

I was surprised by it. Did you poll the audience? Yeah. Nobody was gay? No. There was actually – afterwards, there was one you pull the audience yeah nobody was gay no okay there was actually afterwards there was one girl who was like i'm gay i just didn't want to say it but we were like are you guys fucking kidding me not one and some guy goes it's boston like okay true but uh but i think specifically you guys you gotta have that like you know that incel white male

i disagree we have a lot of gay we have we gay listeners. We have a black guy who calls on the show all the time. He's black. I don't know. He has a great voice. I don't say so. It's weird it's coming from Mississippi. It's strange, but yeah, I don't know. Fourth of July is right around the corner. Summer has just started. Memorial Day weekend is over.

We are officially in summer. I actually didn't realize that until just now. I was in a cab with Fran, and she was going down the shore, and I was like, oh yeah, that's right. And I was like, oh, yeah, that's right. Summer has started. So when summer starts, that means Fourth of July is almost here. Fourth of July is one of the all-time merch holidays. Everyone's got to be looking fly.

Everyone's got to be looking sharp and something like that. Go to the Barstool Sports store. Get your Barstool Sports Fourth of July merch. There are tons of things that violate flag code. So whatever you want to get. I made one that just says, love pre-game flyovers that's the most fucking american shirt you can get out there i love that shirt i actually genuinely do like that shirt i think it's so stupid it's so awesome just as i heart pre-game flyovers because if you ever been around a pre-game flyover you're

like fuck it just keep doing that don't even play this stupid ass super bowl uh shop now at store.barstool sports.com get all your fourth of july merch now having been around the block as as many times as you have um where do you what what's your what's your assessment of barstool right now uh in what way i just i was i was talking to fights recently i wish i could remember this person i can't remember there was some guy who recently got like an offer from a streaming service or to do a show or to sell tickets or whatever it was. And it was someone who you really wouldn't think like the point being that he just lasted a long time. And I was like,

you know what? That's a bar store. No, whatever it was just in the industry. And I was like, if you just, if you can just like hold on and show that you can last through you know a scandal and bad feedback and low ratings and losing your your co-hosts and but you're still there i think eventually

like it comes back around and there are brands and people and companies that are like this this guy knows what he's doing yeah he's lasted that long yeah and i think it's just because you have perspective and you you don't care about the bullshit you focus on what's in you know and having having done that intercom yeah i know i don't care about the bullshit so all i think i guess all you do think about is the bullshit no but i think i think barstool's like like i think barstool's just a bunch of now. Again, I've only been here for four years. But I feel like even more than when I first got here.

Now I think everybody is just kind of on their own island, floating around. But do you think that's a good thing? Yeah, I think it's fine. I think Barcelona is at the point now where even if Portnoy was like, I'm leaving. It would obviously be a blow to the company. But would anybody stop listening to you guys? Would you stop listening to Boston with the Boys? I think a million dollars worth of games. A few years ago leaving it would obviously be a blow to the company but like would anybody stop listening to you guys if you're listening with the boys i think like a million dollars worth of game years ago it would have been a problem yeah and i mean i'm not saying i hope they obviously want some one mistake a part of my take on my show no but i think now it's kind of everyone's doing their own thing i do think there is like a level of sensitivity that i feel

like wasn't even there when it started and And I do feel like in a weird way Barstool Radio is like missed. Because some of the shit we get. We just talked about with Eddie. It's like you used to get it aired out and maybe you know, someone would get knocked the fuck out but everything would be out on the table. I had Dave on yesterday for like an hour or so and he was like, you know, he's like, I thought the show with Eddie was

bad. I was like, well, I kind of liked it because things were discussed. I'm sure you talked about Eddie. 100% like a couple people got in his ear. Yes. It's so funny how much feedback

still gets to some people who've been in the game forever. The fact that he couldn't just be like, there are more people who like Barstool and want to hear the ins and outs

than the 15 people who are like tired of like the cadence of the show basically. That is, you used the phrase, you said thick skin. I think that's made up.

I think the people who have the thickest skin actually do not at all. Oh, really? I always say, I said this to you yesterday. It depends on if you're smart. I always say, I think you have the thickest skin. But I disagree. I don't think I do. Don't be such a pussy.

You do. I know what you're about to say. But what gets to you? Nothings. I don't see anything. Oh, you don't be such a pussy you you you do i i know what you're about to say because like but what gets to you nothing's i don't see anything oh you'll pay attention yeah right but he's like smart enough to do that you know i i think the the the people who fans would think are the thickest skin are it's the opposite who are we talking about i'm saying like this is dave like i i think dave not that i think dave i think dave can take a joke and dave can eat an insult and all that stuff but what you were saying with like as soon as dave has an earworm yeah i think that you can you can make a decision where you can dave can make a decision you go oh i know where that came from i think basically you can have like i'll get worked up

about things i think you have a thin skin sort of but i think you can then react to it talk about it and joke about it too that's the thing that's that's always the thick skin That's always the key. Thick skin is not that nothing gets to you. It's that nothing affects you. Right. You're going to change the way you do something. Exactly. You can't do it once. I mean, you think that's why you did it?

Yes. Oh, really? That's crazy. I think there was a small vocal minority that was like, this is stale. I think they just had a couple bad episodes, which fucking happens, especially when you do one a week yeah if you have three bad episodes in a row that's like a bad month right and i'm older so that that starts to drag a little bit but it's like but you know one week later would have been the carl drama would have been the this drama whatever and all of a sudden the show's mincy where like i would i would much i'm older but i'd much rather hear

dave talk to any of our barstool stuff than talk to some 22 year old youtuber who i don't fucking know who the person is. But that's numbers. Totally. I could totally understand that. I think Dave is just not a – he doesn't want to do – like if Dave put his effort and time into a show,

like if he jumped on podcasting in the beginning and he really cared, he would have been like a Joe Rogan. Discipline-wise, not kidding. But he just doesn't. I talked to him yesterday. He needs to do a show that is exactly what it is. Someone else is doing the labor.

But you know, if it's the Dave Portnoy show and Dave Portnoy is not doing the labor, it's never going to be the best it can be. So it's going to be kind of a middle of the road and there's going to be some people who criticize it. And then if you just bail, then... I used to do radio with him once in a while with Riggs and he'd roll in and be like, well, this doesn't work. I talked to him yesterday.

I'm like, so... Two minutes to air, he rolls in, leaves, you know, whenever. Like, it's yesterday. I'm like, two minutes to air. He rolls in, leaves whenever. I'm like, if you're going to retire, you set his contracts up in 20 months, he told me yesterday. He hasn't heard anything from Penn yet. So I said, let's say they don't reach out. You can do anything you want. Your career's done.

He's like, I would like to do the pizza reviews in a longer form. I was like, that's your vision? That's the entirety of your post-entirement career? I think it was a little more. He wanted to go to small restaurants. I think when he saved small restaurants He got off on that What's his face?

The guy who was a driver Dave Pornoy But that's the thing He really is He's not about In a weird way he's all about the popularity But not the glory He kept saying yesterday too

I have things to say politically I can't say right now and i'm like what in your fucking brain like let's hear it do you think you think he would sell out the garden easily one show he would yeah yeah because he would yeah because he would build it up to be other barstool people like a one-off yes right second night no right no and he said during it i heard him say he's like minahan could sell like 10 000 seats in like two minutes i'm like that's fucking definitely not yeah i fucking wish as much as i think he would during it, I heard him say he's like, Minahan could sell like 10,000 seats in like two minutes. I'm like, that's fucking definitely not. Yeah, I fucking wish. As much as I think he would do it,

I do think there's a little bit of a disconnect on how much it takes to sell tickets. I think he would sell the guard out once if he made a barstool. Well, now that also like, this is the thing now. Yes. That little sass said he couldn't. Right.

And he says he could. Yeah. That all of a sudden rallies. People come from Boston from one night, DC from one night. I got to tell you, so I know nothing about Taylor Swift

nothing she seems like she's a successful artist congratulations to her She's doing pretty well This fucking scene in Gillette this week there were like

20,000 people during the day outside the stadium The day before the show there were like 10,000 people there I went to the show Oh you went to Gillette?

Yeah I went Friday night and I didn't think I didn't get there probably until an hour before the show started. Was it crazy? Not that it wasn't crazy, but it felt like a Patriots game. Where, yeah, there was a ton of traffic. Really? Route 1, there was other stuff.

But, like, it took an hour to park. How much did you pay for the tickets? Face value. I got a guy. Okay. I'm seeing these people, like I said, on Facebook, like friends of mine from high school. I'm like, yeah, they paid, like, $32,000 for, like, five seats. I'm like, how much is... Look, I'm like these people, like I said, on Facebook, like friends of mine from high school. I'm like, yeah, they paid like $32,000 for like five seats. I'm like, look, I'm like that with Bruce, so I totally get it.

In Philly, there was 20,000 people outside the stadium just like singing along to the music. Just like we couldn't get tickets, but we're going to show up anyway. That's fucking nuts. It's a cult. It's like the Kirk Minahan show on steroids. I wish. I mean, she does three shows like that. I mean, I want pretty cult. It's like the Kirk Minahan show on steroids. I wish. I mean, she does three shows like that. She must be making so much.

I always wonder that. I remember when Springsteen had his reunion tour, he did like 16 shows he sold out at the Meadowlands to kick things off at the time, right? 16 just in Jersey? Yeah, 16 shows. Holy shit. I guess that makes sense. And he had a 90-10 split with Meadowlands. Like, I'm getting 90%.

I bet you she has the same thing because she's like, oh, yeah, okay. You don't want me? Fuck you. I'll go do it somewhere else. Yeah. Last ad brought to you by SimpliSafe.

Beep. I can't even intellectually fathom. I also, I can't even. I like it's like 95 because Gillette. Totally. Before, in 2020, when she was supposed to go on it was called Loverfest she only had like

she was doing like a week of shows in only like six locations yeah yeah and MetLife was not one Gillette was the northeast location right so she has

she has a pretty good relationship with them I would just yeah if you're Gillette you think of the money you're making on like fucking booze

and like tobacco like who gives a shit like go play like at a Taylor Swift concert I don't know if you are. At Taylor Swift. Yeah, I didn't see a ton. I mean, people were drinking,

but I didn't see. That's true. You got 20,000 fucking teenagers. When you got a drink, they let you keep the caps, which I was like, they don't let you do that at a Pats game.

Oh, they do? Yeah, so we're doing a show in Plymouth in August. It's like a couple of thousand people. That's big, man. I think the jump from like 300, from the clubs to a theater...

Totally different. It's totally different. But I think the jump from like... Like as much as I like to be like, we sell out the Wilbur. The Wilbur is like the theater that people who do theaters can all sell out. Yes.

I think when you can make a jump to like 2,500, that's like monster tickets. That's always a number I'm not sure about yet. Like 2,000 I think is kind of where we're at. That's a big difference. But Plymouth Memorial Hall, they don't provide booze, so we're doing booze for that show. Oh, really? So I don't know.

But I think that's where you make a lot of money. I think if you can logistically handle it. I don't think Coney will fuck it up. I think it will be fine. Fucking disaster. People are always like, oh, I remember we did the show at the State Theater of Portland, which is pretty cool. I don't know if you guys have been there.

Dude, I think we did a blackout show there once. Did you really? I think that was one of our first, like, really – I think you're right. I think somebody mentioned this to me, yeah. I think there was – I think, like, that was another one where they, like, ripped down the bike things on the stage and that kind of deal. But we fucked something.

I forget what it was. We fucked something up before, like the VIP something and people in line were like, oh, this is really funny for content. I'm like,

I get that, but at some point I would like it to be a smooth... A real show. Like a smooth operation. The Barstool difference gets pretty fucking annoying. Yeah,

I'm like, yeah, my producer's stupid and I'm crazy. Can we just do a show? I've stripped this whole thing out. What's up with Steve Robinson? He's gone?

I would have bet money that he came back, but it seems like he's gone now. Steve Robinson is running the main wire, which is an extreme right wing main. Makes perfect sense. It's great. He is so obsessive. I would have thought that he was going to...

I thought he was switching gears. Because if he's going to be in media, I'm surprised he's not with you. He helps out with case stuff, too. Stuff like that. He's great. But he's one of these guys, and I got so much shit from the extreme right dylan mulvaney broke the extreme oh man half like broke her she broke them i'm saying i'm saying she just this pisses off yeah yeah yeah like snap them in half i'm like this person you're like would you really now but you you that that's a personal thing with

you because of jerry right you he was he was leading that charge and you were like fuck you jerry right well yeah he had a tweet that i i i get overreactive it's about my daughter who's a personal thing with you because of Jerry, right? He was leading that charge and you were like, fuck you, Jerry, right? Well, yeah. He had a tweet. I get overreactive. It was about my daughter who was adopted. Somebody said one of these hardcore Republicans were like, unless you give birth to her, you don't know. And he retweeted it. I didn't know she was adopted.

How old was she when you adopted her? At birth. From birth. In Sioux City, Iowa, yeah. I ate the Olive Garden the night before. No way, really? I did. I ate the Olive Garden the night before no way I did but then your son is biological yes yeah yeah he looks he looks it's frightening he looks it's scary he looks just like me he acts just like me really yeah I'm like a poor kid yeah

that's so funny to think of like a 13 year old be like yeah yeah but he thinks of things. He's obsessed. I don't know if you guys know this performer or not. He's obsessed with a YouTuber named Boy With Uke. No. You know this person? If you look at him, he's got a couple of million followers on YouTube. Dude, there are so many YouTubers that all have in the millions that it's like.

Yeah. Harry will be like, how many people are on the planet? My son will be like, yeah, he's like, I saw you on like like, I saw you on the... He's like, nobody watches your show. I'm like, yeah, I know. I'm like, I saw it at the Wilbur twice. He's like, so? I'm like, I was number one. You want to see the radio ratings?

15 share. 15 share. 15.1. He's like like Mr. Beast Mr. Beast opened a restaurant there's 75,000 people at this restaurant

he's like the deaf guy when he did the face reveal didn't your daughter go crazy for that my kids were so obsessed with the dream face reveal and last year

that poor kid they were just like you're ugly you suck last year the end of last summer I was with Harry the baseball thing

and some YouTuber died I forget his name he died at the end of last summer, I was with Harry at a baseball thing, and some YouTuber died. I forget his name. He died at the end of last summer. Harry was super into him, and he was really emotional when the guy died. And I was like, for me, this would be like if, I don't know whoever, not Springsteen, but somebody in like 86 died.

Yeah. And I'm like, oh, yeah, I guess this is- I would be fucking broken. This is what it is. Yeah, I guess this is what it is. Yeah. It's just weird. It's hard to relate, right?

Everyone on YouTube has like 6 million followers. Except Barstool. It's crazy. It's huge on YouTube, and Barstool's like, I'm getting like 3,000 views a fucking episode. I'm thrilled with it. I'm like, oh, great. Yeah. Pay attention to it.

All right, man. So The Dozen is the only reason you're alive. Yeah. We have the show, which we were on the other day. You don't know who you'll face in the Final Four yet? We play the winners of the Yak and the Baddies. Got it.

Are they good? Yeah. Booze knows what. Not Booze. Booze? I forget his name. Okay, and then the other one is you versus Brandon's team. And I broke Brandon today.

So he's super emotional. I saw him doing his. So I called him up as my. It was some song from the night. I know no songs after. Like, unless it's. 85. After like 89.

Yeah. Is when I checked out. And it's that song. I don't know what it is. Who knows? So they. Brandon and I knew it. I called him up there.

And he had to fuck Nick over and answer. Because I knew Brandon wouldn't allow himself not to answer the question. Yeah, yeah. So I saw him afterwards. He's like, you broke me. Wait, you called him as a friend? Yeah, which he's not. Knowing that his ego is...

He didn't want to help you, but he had to answer. Correct. And he did and we won in overtime. See, that is the... That's like such a short-sighted... Who fucking cares, Brandon? Do the Ken Jacks.

Say, fuck you, Kirk. Walk away. But I knew he was, I knew, I played the whole thing. I saw Dan behind him. I figured Dan knew it. I saw a bunch of people. But I said, the other thing about this live environment, calling people out, is by the time you call that person, people have already talked.

Everyone knows the answer in the audience, I think also, which is fine. But Brandon was all worked up. I actually think. What was the answer? Do you remember? I forget the name in the audience, I think also, which is fine. But Brandon was all worked up. I actually think... What was the answer? Do you remember? I forget the name of the song. 90s, I have no... And one of the questions in overtime was... 13-0 in music for my team.

Is that right? One of the questions in overtime was how many times is the word jump said in the song... The one that plays... Chris Cross? No. Oh, Jump Around. I got it right. I beat Nick in it, but I was thinking the Chris Cross no oh Jump Around I got it I beat Nick in it but I was thinking

the Chris Cross song no you're completely wrong first I thought the Van Halen song I was like oh fantastic nobody knows this even that

these questions are like you can kind of estimate but it's like come on who fucking knows yeah alright brother appreciate the time
