It's just such a weird thing, because I've always been able to separate my life and Barstool,
but now, obviously, she works here and there.
But, like, I've never been happier, which is crazy.
I know I'm getting on here, but here but like i fucking love her a lot
so it's like i don't regret anything i did We got Martin J. Mush in the building, fresh off his new contract,
back at Barstool Sports.
Despite what the haters and the losers were saying for the past year,
Marty's not going anywhere.
I'm back at Barstool Sports, baby.
Woo!
What an all-time, all-time turnaround.
I don't even want to call it a turnaround because I think it was fucking bullshit from the jump that you were railroaded.
But facts are facts, and there was a huge faction of people talking shit and running their mouths.
Who I, I mean, you could have, the amount of money you could have made if you bet on Marty Mush staying at Barstool Sports on that day.
Those fucking people were such losers.
But the fact is they thought no chance.
And here he is today.
New contract.
Oh, yeah.
It turns out you can love a girl and keep your job.
Who knew?
It turns out we can all be fucking functioning adults and you're allowed to have employment at a place still.
No, it was nuts.
I think even more so than any of that,
it's just you can't make a promise a year out.
Yeah, that's so true.
That is so true.
Whatever I promise to do in a year,
I'm not going to promise. You are lucky.
If your contract expired that month,
it might be a different story.
But something happens in, I don't know,
fucking April and your contract's in February, you're good.
Yeah.
They're good.
I mean, February sounded so far away.
So far.
It was happening.
So far.
I mean.
That was also something.
I just did something really weird for anyone watching.
I had a pretzel in my mouth and took it out.
The amount of noises you make is outrageous.
Crazy.
Just the grunts and the groans.
The grunts he's doing.
All the time.
Even when we just got up.
I'm a. Oh, by the way,
everywhere.
At home, alone, on the mics, not on the
mics, everything.
It is. It's not easy being around.
It's not an easy thing.
One of Louis C.K.'s best
jokes ever is when he said,
when he bends down to try to tie his shoes,
it's like trying to fold a bowling ball
in half.
And that joke sticks with me so much
and that is John. John is the bowling
ball. And so think about a bowling ball
trying to...
He's a gross, gassy
bowling ball that needs to maneuver
around and every time he does...
It's disrespectful to do that in front of me too.
I'm handicapped in the burping world.
What does that mean?
I've never burped in my life and I've all congested here and you doing that is just
like trying to ask a guy in a wheelchair to walk.
It's like you would jump a jack in front of me.
Right in front of my face.
Look at me.
I can burp.
I've never burped in my entire life.
I could chug a whole bottle of Coke.
Nothing.
What happens?
The bubbles just stay in there? Yeah. It's just like my chest is going to burst. I can burp on whole bottle of Coke. Nothing. What happens? The bubbles just stay in there?
Yeah, it's just like my chest is going to burst.
I can burp on contact.
On command.
Dude, that was like one of the first things I learned in school.
I like regurgitate.
You can't like swallow air?
Swallow air?
Yeah, like if I go like.
It's not the worst thing because it's one of those things like like we both have a debility
and uh debility oh i'll tell you you both have a debility you fucking retards what are we talking
about here that's the problem
and it's i I burp.
Like, I'll be the kind of burper who, like, I'll be in a conversation just talking, and
I'll burp.
I'll be, oh, that just, like, came out.
Like, I won't even, I don't have time to, like, feel it coming up or anything like that.
It's just like, brr, catches up on you.
Fuck, right?
So I don't know which I'd rather have.
Yeah, like the over-burper or the not.
I'll tell you what.
Your debility is worse for others around you.
Your debility, like when I need to burp, if I drink some soda, if I have some whatever, like it gets stuck.
It hurts.
Yeah.
Yes. What do you do?
It makes a weird, hopefully it happens during this and I'll try and make it loud, but it makes the weirdest noise of all time.
Yeah.
It just sounds like bubbles coming out of my throat.
You both are disgusting.
Terrible.
I'll say this, the nice thing about my debilities.
You guys are debabled.
Two debabled guys here.
The debility should be a word.
Come on.
I'm with you.
I was like, wow, that's a good word.
I tried taking that down.
The fucking, I've never had a smelly burp.
So that's what's interesting.
Yeah.
I know people whose burps smell like their farts.
Right.
And I'm like, dude, that came from your mouth.
That smells like your asshole.
And if I were to have a fucking hot dog and some hot
peppers with garlic, yeah, maybe the burp's
bad, but the people who just,
whatever their gut
is 24 hours a day, that their burps
smell, that's disgusting.
Because that's not like your mouth, that's not like brushing your teeth.
That's like your gut.
That's like the chemicals
in your body just make your fucking air smell
That's gross
Would you rather for the rest of your life
You'll never fart
Again
But your burps are really bad
Or vice versa
Oh wow
I think it's better to have a bad fart
Yeah because you know it's out of your ass
I'll tell you what it's out of your ass.
I'll tell you what it is.
I'll tell you why the answer is.
Not always, but certain times, the fart's hilarious.
The burp is never really funny.
The burp is kind of like whatever, but a fart every now and then could bring the house down. You're the most unfunny guy, but if you let out a good fart, your boys are going to laugh.
Absolutely.
If you let a burp, it's like, all right.
That's just disgusting.
Let's slow it down. I also think it's easier to get away with a but if you let it burp, it's like, oh, all right. That's just disgusting. Let's slow it down.
I also think it's easier
to get away with a sneaky fart
than a sneaky burp.
Yeah,
because it comes out of your ass
and not your mouth.
Right.
You burp.
I can fucking...
No matter what,
you burp in my back pocket.
You pull your cheeks apart,
you're good,
you lean a little.
You can control it to be silent,
right?
Right.
Oh,
yeah.
But your mouth,
like,
one way or another,
your burp's gonna,
you're gonna do one of,
you know when people are talking and
they go like, and they just keep talking, it's like, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
Like literally.
Yeah, no, I've heard of it.
Yeah.
That or like, or like the, you know, you're like, blow it out.
Either way, somebody's like, yo, this is fucking disgusting.
I have like a weird thing with me and it's probably because of where I sit, but I, I
push human air
out my-
Human air, as opposed to-
About my left side, where I'll go, of a mouth.
I'll let the air out that way.
I'm so curious what's opposing to human air.
I'm smoking.
I go right side.
Oh, okay.
I don't know why that ever became a thing.
Oh, I like that, though.
That's cool.
Is that your real teeth?
Yeah.
Good. Thanks. I like that. That's cool. Is that your real teeth? Yeah. Good.
Thanks.
Well, he also was, he had a tooth.
It didn't work.
He had a mouth ability for a long time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You had some fucking, they were baked beans, man.
It looked like somebody just took rocks and threw them in your mouth.
I remember someone said that once, and it was about, we were in a porn store when I was in high school.
You know, one of the X videos or whatever.
It was a Newport video is what it was called.
But I was a Jenna Hayes guy.
And this was early days Jenna Hayes.
Those teeth were.
And I picked up, and I never heard that insult before.
I picked up a Jenna Hayes DVD.
We were probably 15 in that sneak game.
We're getting porns.
And my buddy's like, damn, I didn't know your fetish was chewing rocks.
And I'd never heard that before.
I was like, that's the funniest, meanest thing I've ever heard in my life.
That is an all-timer.
Someone with bad teeth, you say they're chewing rocks.
It is the fucking best, man.
It feels good to not talk about sports for a second.
Dumbass things that I'm thinking.
I've been thinking about so many things.
Let it out.
That's why we're here.
I know.
It feels good.
I, no joke, have the best ability
to know where an ice machine is.
That's what I've been thinking about.
Like in a hotel?
Yeah.
I have an ear for an ice machine.
I can tell you exactly where it is.
Which floor?
I can get off the elevator
and know where the ice machine is.
Because you hear the humming of it? Yeah. tell you exactly where it is. Like which floor? I can get off the elevator and know where the ice machine is. Because of like,
you hear the humming of it?
Yeah.
Now, what about an outdoor ice machine?
An outdoor ice machine?
Where's an outdoor ice machine?
Like one of those coolers?
All of the ice machines.
Yeah.
Yeah, a cooler.
Like the ones at the gas stations?
That's not an ice machine.
They're not producing ice.
I guess you're right.
That's just a cooler
that had the bags of ice.
Yeah, no, you're right.
How am I supposed to hear that, John?
Yeah.
Coolers?
Listen, the man's not a fucking magic,
he's not a magician.
He can hear electronic devices,
he can't hear coolers.

I also have been thinking about I black out when Way to Save specials.
Oh.
I have never listened to a special in my entire life.
If I can't read it, there will be times.
I'll catch something.
I'll go, oh, is that a steak?
And I'll say, can you repeat that one? I've been lying. I would be lying. is that a steak Can you repeat that one
I would be lying
If I said I didn't ever order a specials
Augustino's in Hoboken
Is a place where the specials are good
But 99.9%
Let me tell you the specials today
Let me tell you not
Because we're not going to listen
And it's not even worth it
I know it's just what you do.
You're only doing it to get rid of the fish.
The old meat or whatever.
And if you want to do it, put it on a little insert, throw that in the menu, let me read it.
But I don't, you know.
I also, I don't like, I think it's ridiculous that high-class restaurants make their waiters memorize everything.
That it's considered less than to write it down.
Just fucking write it down and yeah, I'll read the menu.
I say it to you.
You write it down.
Let's get it right.
That's what I want in my restaurant.
I don't need you to just go – especially when there's like me and you, fine.
There's eight guys and they're all ordering what their side is, how they want their steak cooked, what their drink.
And they just – they put their hands behind their back and they go, okay, okay, okay.
And I'm like, there's no fucking way.
There's a recording device you go back and listen or something.
There's no fucking way you remember all that.
I was going to say that's the point.
That's not a bad take.
I think that's pretty common.
People want their stuff written down.
But have they ever gotten it wrong?
Yes.
Oh, I've never had them get it wrong at a nice restaurant.
No, I've had it gotten wrong.
And I'm like, I wish you were.
And you're right. For the most part, they don't. But it's like, then never had them get it wrong at a nice restaurant. Yeah, no, I've had it gotten wrong. And I'm like, I wish you were. And you're right.
For the most part, they don't.
But it's like, then you better never get it wrong.
Yeah.
If you do it by memorization, fine.
But do not get it wrong.
I'll never say that.
Because then it's stupid.
Ever.
Oh.
I could get a salmon if I got a burger.
What are you?
You're Italian?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm surprised.
Italian and Irish.
I could see the Irish in you.
I was going to say, I thought everyone here who's Italian is Irish.
It's the same thing. What's that? All our big Italian people, none of them are Italian. No, I'm actually Italian. Irish. I thought everyone here was Italian and Irish. It's the same thing.
All our big Italian people, none of them are Italian.
No, I'm actually Italian.
But I wouldn't count you as one of our big Italians.
No, you're definitely not Italian.
You're not Italian.
Your last name is fucking Irish.
Yeah, my last name is...
If you have the last name, you can make a case.
Ria's grandpa literally is just straight from Italy.
He came here when he was 30.
It's like, all right, that guy's Italian.
Yeah.
The Italians I could see.
I don't know.
I mean, I hate Italians, but they're also the closest to us.
You know what I mean?
Italians are getting out of control, though, like on TikTok.
Getting out of control?
It's really out of control, though.
Bro, where you been for the last 200 years?
I'll go back to the 40s. I'll do it.
The Italians were going nuts
back then. They've been fucking
nuts for years. They're always out of control.
The way they dress and their
furniture and their accents and shit. They're crazy.
You know I don't deal with
history.
I think Mussolini kicked it off.
From then on, they're like,
why is it not bad to say Mussolini kicked it off. From then on, they're like, we're being...
Why is it not bad to say Mussolini, but Hitler?
Mussolini does skate.
People, no, don't get me wrong.
People will call him a dictator and say he's a bad dude.
They skate, big time.
All the other bad guys. Japan?
Skates.
Yeah.
Even Stalin skates.
Stalin really skates.
Stalin skilled way more people than Hitler.
Okay, but that's the thing.
You know that.
Who's the bad guy in Japan?
What's his name?
Exactly.
Hero.
Moshe.
Yeah, you don't even know.
It's like that guy should be just as bad as Hitler.
Also, I know Stalin.
I learned that fact later.
I knew Stalin because he had a great head of hair.
Yeah, he...
Stalin has... I think that many girls would I knew Stalin because he had a great head of hair. Yeah. Stalin.
I think that many girls would like Stalin if he was not.
Oh, dude, yeah. Get off the Bundy train.
Get on the Stalin train.
Yeah, for real.
Might have put up numbers and was way better looking.
Big time.
He had way more issues and was fucking a stud.
A stud, man.
He's got problems.
A lot of problems, you two.
Not over here.
Marty came from, it's fun to not talk sports.
I might want to get out of here.
Let's talk about the spread real quick.
I love it.
I love it.
I don't know anything.
How about this?
So I listened to, when we were in Amsterdam, these guys did an episode, and Jake Bass was
producing while the producers were podcasting.
Jake Bass said that the KFC radio studio is the most intimidating place at Barstool.
No.
I was like, are you fucking kidding me?
We are openly.
Do you have a debility?
Don't worry.
We're going to beat that one in the ground in about 20 minutes.
Get your comments out now.
I'm going to say it too.
This fucking debabled guy.
No chance.
I mean, I will say we hide in here, so we're always in here.
So like you pop your head in and we're always sitting at the desk and maybe you think we're recording or whatever.
But as far as intimidation goes, we have done nothing but talk about how big of pussies we are for 15 years straight.
And this is, for me, this is my safe zone.
I was going to say, a lot of people know
to come here
when they need to.
I got a dummy right here
that's going to try
and understand
what I'm saying
and have a take.
Instead of being like,
what are you saying?
Yeah.
This is my safe zone.
That's another thing, yes.
Everybody,
every other show,
you try to tell a joke
or you try to say a thing
and they don't know
how to just roll with it.
No.
It's like, just go with it.
Come on, have some fun with it.
Yeah, like I was saying the other day like me and my boys right we
used to when i say it out loud again it is pretty dumb but we're in eighth grade i got engulfed
absolutely engulfed by the movie stomp the yard we were just talking about i was literally just
saying it's one of the best in amsterdam we we were talking to Bert about Stomp the Yard.
Dude, I was like selling Bert.
If I talk to Bert about Stomp the Yard, I'll cry.
You don't understand.
Because Matty was there.
We were talking Nick Cannon and Stomp the Yard and Drumline and all that.
And I was like, dude, Chris Brown is like selling crack so he can dance.
And Bert's like, wait, Chris Brown's in it?
Yeah.
Dude, I called my boys.
We had a three-way call on the house phone.
That's how I used to get in touch.
Bro, I used to watch Stomp the Yard all the time.
No, wait.
Guys, I'm sorry.
Stomp the Yard was what?
I would call my friends and we'd practice.
We were called the Bulls, right?
Oh, you'd practice stomping.
Oh.
We were the bulls
Dude
I used to
It was so fucked up
One day we invited my friend over to practice
And we cut him
Like we were serious
No
For those listening
I implore you to go over to YouTube
And start watching
Because Marty just did some like
Clapping and stomping
What do they call that kind of dancing?
Stomping
Stomping
Stomping And they would go to parties And they would stomp there Because Marty just did some clapping and stomping. What do they call that kind of dancing? Stomp team? Stomp team.
Stomp team.
They would go to parties and they would stomp there.
They would do full choreographed dances and the battles and all that.
The pool scene?
Remember the pool scene?
They're all... I used to watch it.
People would talk about, oh, I watched an eight mile get jacked up for hockey.
No, no, no.
No, dude, I would watch the opening scene of Stomp the Yard.
I would watch Chris Brown slide 15 feet on his fucking head.
Yeah.
If he can do that, I can do anything!
Yes!
That's like the first Step Up with
Channing Tatum. Yes, that's another good one.
Step Up with Channing Tatum,
Drumline with
Nick Cannon. When Nick Cannon drums on the
other guy's drum, when they're battling,
he steps up and he...
God!
You know what that is, too? That's because as white guys, we don't have anything like that in real life.
That's like watching a fucking unicorn.
There's no scenario in life where I'm going to be stomping or drumming and having the
Sigmas behind me fucking going nuts.
That's awesome.
We would crunk in my house.
Right?
Who's we?
Maybe it's not called crunking.
No, I think I know what you're talking about. But I don't think you were doing it. It was. It was. No, I think we were. I think you were doing it. Right Who's we Maybe it's not called Crunkin No I mean There is Crunkin

Stomping and like

And like kinda rapping
Dude Benny
You guys were crunking?
Get me crunking on the TV.
Get me some crunking.
We should crunk and stomp.
I want to make sure I'm talking about crunking.
Yeah, we're going to pull it up,
but I think I know exactly what you're talking about,
and that is...
It's almost like half like Poetry Slam, right?
You're like yelling things and performing while dancing.
I don't know how much yelling we were doing.
I think it was just like aggressive dancing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was dance fighting.
It's like dance fighting, yes, yes, where you're growling almost.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right.
How to do crunking stuff.
Crumping. Crumping. Crumping sounds more like it. This right. How to do crumping stops. Crumping.
Crumping.
Crumping.
Crumping sounds more like it.
This is the whitest conversation of all time.
We're doing how-tos on crumping.
How to do crumping.
Now, Gino Fort.
Back again.
I'm going to teach you how to crump stops.
Gino Fort.
Now, crump stops are not just stomp and stomp.
Yeah!
Please, please do it again.
You didn't look like that.
Oh, man. I did it perfectly. I do it again. You didn't look like that. Oh, man.
I did it perfectly.
I did it perfectly.
He was like, huh.
That was an example on how not to do it.
That was an example on how not to do it, right?
You're like, yeah, that's it.
Go to the part where we are doing it then.
What are we supposed to be doing?
Stomp and stomp.
That makes no sense.
You look stupid in a big club.
You look like a big stupid monkey.
Honestly, that's exactly it.
All right, well, wait.
So what's the real one then?
It involves precision as well to the beat.
And it's not supposed to be the loudest crump stomp either,
so don't think if you stomp loudest you're doing it right.
That's so funny.
You were like, yeah, that's right.
He's like, no, don't do that.
I mean, he was doing it.
He's saying do that smoother.
You don't want to look crazy.
It's stomping real hard, trying to look all nice, get attention,
and not have nothing to do after that.
This guy's mean.
What are you doing?
You like a set stance?
You can go on your toe.
Go on your heel.
Use your right.
You can go all the way around.
I like yours better, bro.
If you're going to crump, then crump.
If you're going to stomp, then stomp.
You look like a duck or something.
You know what you look like?
You know what you look like when you put little sneakers on dogs and they walk?
And they don't like having their feet.
I want you to crump and I'll make you stomp.
You crump, he'll stomp.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Hold on.
Crump, stomp, crump, stomp.
Kev, can you film?
Yeah.

Yeah.
All right. All right. Go ahead. Krav, can you film? Yeah. I'll tell you what you look like.
You look like a couple of the Babel guys.
That looked like a couple of... That looked like a couple... the Babel guys. That looked like a couple of...
That looked like a couple...
That looked like two guys.
John's done.
You know what that looked like?
Remember the Dystonia cheerleader when she was walking around?
That's what you guys look like.
That was going to happen for a long time coming.
That was crumping.
I don't know how I'm over on that I know
Just sit
I gotta do this
I gotta prove this
This is your moment
I gotta prove myself
I'm just gonna say
My little quick lesson there
I do think this feels cool.
You know why?
You're peacocking.
It looks like a peacock strutting around.
Why are you walking like a turkey?
You look like a bird.
He's so out of breath.
He really is.
Let me just so you guys know just how, like, absolutely
disabled you guys are.
It's unbelievable
that just happened. This show is sponsored
by BetterHelp. When you're at your best, you can do
great things, but sometimes life gets you
bogged down. Would you say life gets you
bogged down sometimes, John?
I'd say I'm significantly bogged.
Yeah, I'd say it drags
me like a monster from the deep.
In a bog.
Very similar to getting bogged down.
It feels like I'm being pulled into
a great dark abyss with no
chance of being saved.
I'd call that bogged down.
You may feel overwhelmed.
Yeah.
And that's where working with a therapist can help you get closer to the best version
of you, or at least like help me get out of the abyss.
And when you feel empowered, you are prepared to take on everything that life throws at
you.
We know that I've seen, there's like a distinct difference at KFC Radio when we are
talking to people and doing therapy and when we're not
there's a stark difference when you get it
off your chest and you talk about things even
I think I read that like 90% of therapy
is like just saying it
it's no longer a secret it's no longer
on my chest I get it off my chest
and if they can give me some help fine
but just someone to get it out is
everything that you really need.
It's convenient, it's flexible, it's affordable,
and it's entirely online when you do it at BetterHelp.
So fill out a brief questionnaire, get matched with a licensed therapist,
or you can switch to therapists anytime, no additional charge,
and they'll help you live a more empowered life.
Therapy can help you get there when you visit betterhelp.com slash KFC,

I look good.
I look good to me.
No one's fucking with us in the club.
You know what the funniest part of this is?
He's doing all that.
He's wearing a jockstrap right now.
I'm always wearing a jockstrap.
You're wearing a jockstrap?
Yeah, we've been experimenting the last couple weeks or so, getting jocked up.
I can't remember why this started.
Wait, where does it go?
We started, oh, a friend of mine a couple weeks ago goes, texts me and he goes,
do you think anybody, we always talk about basketball, me and him, when we played NBA, all that shit.
And he just says to me, do you think anybody when they play is wearing a jockstrap anymore?
And I said, anymore?
And he was like, yeah, I used to wear a jockstrap.
And he's like my age.
We grew up playing in like the 2000s.
And I was like, I don't think so, dude.
And he started asking all like other friends.
And he was like, I'm the only one who was doing this.
So we just had this whole conversation about it.
And then I think for some reason you had – I think we both brought it up for some reason
So we decided we're going to try to get jocked up
I saw the appeal of that
I saw keep everything tight
If I was wearing underpants just there my balls would be all over the place
It's just in the hole
It's just in like the fucking
He's also wearing like an old man
That's the reason you think of jocks
Cause they also make ones
Like Calvin Klein makes one
Yeah, no, his whole ass is out
But I tried to do it because
I got a problem
I got an underwear problem that I thought jock straps might solve
And they didn't
So I'm still, I'm burping
It's like manifesting itself
You want to do like no fly zone?
I have a fucking big ass.
I wear extra large boxers.
And I'm still like my dick is cramped up.
Because I have like the ass of a black woman on a white guy's body.
And so I thought if you – the problem is that the ass is so big it's pulling the front.
So I thought if you just cut it out and I just have the jockstrap that my balls would be free and apparently not because the jockstrap still fucking makes me uncomfortable too.
I mean, yeah, that makes sense.
The jockstrap's really uncomfortable.
But it doesn't make sense if you think about it.
It should just, I mean, you know.
Jockstraps are such a weird.
We're not putting the cup in.
We're just fucking.
That's the thing.
Did you, you wore cups when you played?
No, no, no, no.
No.
Well, I did until I fucking got old enough to know I don't need to wear a fucking cup.
Like when I was in like middle school and tee balls-balls and stuff like that, they did cup checks.
I think one time I caught in Little League and I wore a cup.
That's the only acceptable time you could do it.
But the cups hurt.
It still sucks.
It hurts the muscle.
You get rash, too.
It's terrible.
Yeah, terrible.
And then you realize you just don't need to do it.
You're just like, if I do get hit in the balls, it's going to be a fucking fiasco anyway,
and it's probably not going to happen, so roll the dice. You really are a specimen. You're just like, if I do get hit in the balls, it's going to be a fucking fiasco anyway and it's probably not going to happen, so roll the dice.
You really are a specimen.
You are. I love you
so much. I love you too.
Anyway, could you believe,
could you imagine if during our
upbringing, we
did shit like this? No.
We played sports and stuff, but like
you know.
I mean, this is a live look at the Feidelberg living room.
Your father must have been like, what is this face?
We'd only do it.
What is going on?
We were like in high school.
Can you guys go back to being gay?
We were like in high school.
You were in high school doing this?
Yeah, when Stomp the Yard came out, I believe I was in high school.
Oh, bro, I thought you were like young.
No, I was pretty old.
Not old, but I was probably seventh grade, eighth grade.
Yeah, Stomp the Yard's 07.
Bro, you guys are fucking losers.
Well, the thing is, we were talking about this, too.
You can do that shit up until sixth grade, and then anything after that, you're fucking lame.
Have fun?
Yeah.
Fellas can't have fun?
After that, the fella's doing some weird shit. You're gay, man.
That's weird.
We were talking about
when you were younger,
you were only cool
if you were fast.
Yes.
That was always it.
Whoever ran the mile
the fastest
would finish sprints first.
I still remember
this guy's name.
Me too.
Isn't that funny?
I know the two or three
names of the people
and I was like,
that guy's so fast.
I wish I was like him.
He's so stupid
but then you grow older and it's like... Were you the fast kid? I was fast. I was going to say, I bet like it and it's like but then like you grow older it's like were you the fast kid I was I was gonna
say I bet you that surprised me because I feel like you're lanky yeah no I it
doesn't look it looks but you're also a Brandon Walker do you like a 4640 like
yeah it makes sense because you've proven that you're that weird guy that
can do things but if I were to just look at your makeup I would like the small
guys were usually they played soccer they were kind of tighter, smaller.
They weren't like...
You'd be one of those people who don't
even look like you're moving fast.
When I walk,
if I put my foot straight, it's on the side
of my foot. It's a very annoying
thing. Really? It's terrible.
Well, you do that thing where you whack your knee and it goes sideways.
I don't think I have an ACL either.
But it was like,
I got a little bit of Randy Moss run.
I would never be like Randy Moss is fast.
Cause he's so big and he moves like it's not a little choppy.
But that's also,
there's the other side there.
So there's the choppy.
And then there's like the gazelle.
Right.
Carlos Beltran was that way.
Very long strides.
And you're like,
is he even trying?
It's like,
there was always fans who were like,
he doesn't even try hard.
It's like,
no,
he's just fucking really, really good at this.
He makes it look easy.
But then there's Marty, who I think would just fucking, you look like you're a duck.
Yeah.
But you're fast somehow.
It's weird.
You're like, if you timed it, that doesn't make sense.
But yeah, it's like the way it looks is slow, but it's fast.
Yeah.
That's you in a nutshell.
You're a paradox like that.
Yeah, no.
It's like this doesn't make sense, but it's here.
Nothing makes sense about me, yeah.
You would cut people. You'd be like, you're not crumping hard enough. Yeah, yeah. It's like, this doesn't make sense, but it's here. about me, yeah. At all.
You would cut people.
You'd be like,
you're not crumping hard enough.
Yeah, yeah,
Chris Chisaniti.
I really did some
messed up things to him.
I had one time
where we put
call gays on a sign.
Call gays?
Yeah.
We thought it was
the only words
that were there
and it was the only thing
we thought would be funny.
Like, you know when you
could change the letters on a sign?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's called Gaze.
Like, when you put up letters at a fast food restaurant
or something like that.
Okay.
It was 99 cents, kind of.
Yeah, and the guy just pulls out,
an undercover cop pulls out with a gun just at us,
and we were just like, what the fuck?
And he's like, can I see your ID?
I was like, my dad's going to kill me,
so I told him my name was Chris Chisniti.
Oh, terrible. Terrible. Terrible. Ter me. So I told him my name was Chris Cisniti. Oh, terrible.
Terrible.
Terrible.
Terrible.
And I caught him.
I caught him.
Yeah, he's gotten a bad shake.
Still friends, though.
I don't know about this.
I don't know about that.
I caught him from the stomp team, too.
Caught him from wall ball, too.
It's very funny to think about.
Bro, do you know wall ball?
Jackie was telling us that her friend, you might not have been here for this. I don't think I did. Because I've talked
about wall ball before. I would remember any wall ball
conversation we had. Because wall ball
means different things to different people. Yeah.
But it was, so wall ball to me means
it's one of those things like if you drop the
ball, you're time to go
touch the wall. Wall ball to you is a blue ball,
you throw it against the wall. It means the tennis ball.
Small ball, you throw it against the wall.
If you bobble it, you gotta run and touch the wall. Someone can tennis ball whatever fine yeah small ball you throw it against the wall if you bobble it
you gotta run and touch the wall
someone can peg you
that's wall ball to me
right okay
that's not wall ball to me
but keep going
I want to hear this
well this girl
like
I guess I'll just have to say her name
her name was
made us play molly ball
where she would just go
and make us line up
against like the backboard
and then every reason
she'd be like
it's molly ball day
and then she would just peg us
and every day was molly ball day so every single day we just got Ball Day and then she would just pick us and every day
was Molly Ball Day
so every single day
we just got a rest
and they'd like cry and stuff
and we would cry
and we'd be like
do we have to play
Molly Ball today
she'd be like
what the fuck did I just say
and then like
you would get paid
for Molly Ball
where's Molly today
she's either like a CEO
or she's dead in the gutter
one or the other
no in between
no in between
she's not a school teacher
yeah no way
she's either doing that
to people at work being
like give me your paycheck or she's fucking on crack because everyone hates her one or the other
uh wall ball i think in in a very small in very small like when i grew up here throwing the ball
against the wall pegging we either called butts up or i've heard butts up yeah butts up and then when i was living
outside of philly that was called red ass because you get pegged in the ass and wall ball was with a
kickball and it was like almost like a like a it was almost like tennis you hit the ball with your
hand and you got to keep the ball volleying off the wall so yeah so that was like that shit was
fire though so like i didn't if i had come from a place that was wall ball, and then I, if they called
that, if they called butts up wall ball in New York, and then I went to Pennsylvania
and they were calling it wall ball, I'd be like, what are you fucking idiots talking
about?
But I never heard of wall ball, so wall ball to me is a totally different game.
That's awesome.
Man, my wall ball was weird.
What was your wall ball?
I made up a whole story.
It was nothing.
It wasn't really a game.
My name was Josh E. Schlenk, and you're laughing. That wall ball was weird. What was your wall ball? I made up a whole story. It was nothing. It wasn't really a game.
My name was Josh E. Schlenk.
And... You're laughing.
What the fuck?
Josh E. Schlenk is what I'm laughing at.
Josh E. Schlenk.
Somehow Josh E. Schlenk is still your second most preposterous name.
But this is a game you made up for yourself.
It was just made up like a whole story that Josh E. Schlenk was this wall ball champion.
And my friend was like my sidekick.
And it became characters.
How did the game play, though?
It was literally just throw the ball at the wall.
No, there was nothing.
Did you play a ball against the wall and pegs and all that shit?
Yeah.
Did you have a name for that?
No, that was, I guess, called wall ball.
I don't know.
It was definitely called sidekick.
I thought across New York it would be.
Pat, did you have this?
That's very creative.
Did you even play it?
I feel like that game is gone.
Yeah, definitely.
I feel like kids are just on their phones at recess and not playing games.
Pickleball.
Yo, Pickleball.
I was playing Pickleball in like 99, 2000.
Dude, put Pickleball up there with the avatars and the fucking CBS crime shows because I don't know anyone who watches.
So I do know.
I actually do know people who play.
I do know two people who play pickleball, but I've never seen it.
I've never seen a court.
My JV and varsity basketball coach, they were both the gym teachers, played pickleball.
So we played in gym class. We had rankings at school like it was dead ass serious like people would play
like they would sneak off from from classes there was like uh sanctioned matches it was like we're
playing in gym class but also like the number one seed is playing the number two seed in an actual
match like tomorrow it was like a big fucking deal and then i never heard about it again it was it was made in prison it was a prison big fucking deal. And then I never heard about it again.
It was made in prison.
It was a prison game initially.
Oh, really?
And then I never heard about it again,
and now it's having this big resurgence.
But we were playing in 1965, does that say?
So that's like, you know, in the grand scheme of things,
that's a very new game, you know?
Yeah, no, it is.
So like...
This is a children's backyard game.
Probably don't want to say it.
But I'd be interested if it was prison because then it's almost like lobster.
There's definitely something about prison and pickleball.
Search prison or jail.
I know that for a fact.
What was I just going to say, though?
Fuck.
You know what the most dangerous game was, as violent as this was?
Red Rover.
Red Rover.
Just like sprint at each other and dislocate your shoulders. Shocking people didn't lose lives. What's that, Red Rover. Red Rover. Just like sprint at each other and dislocate your shoulders.
Shocking people didn't lose their lives.
What's that?
Red Rover, you get a bunch of people and you hold hands.
And you go, Red Rover, Red Rover, send Kevin right over.
And he'd have to try and run through us holding hands.
Like break your whole.
I'm honestly surprised we haven't done that as like a sponsored event here.
No, because you know what it is, though?
It shows the elasticity of kids.
You can just fucking wrangle kids around,
throw them around, rip their limbs apart, and they're fine.
If two adults were to hold hands and a grown adult were to run into them,
their arms would be ripped from their body.
The flesh would rip.
Yeah, I guess it's just popular in jail.
I guess it wasn't invented in jail, but everybody in jail loves it.
Look at that fucking guy.
That's so funny to think that you got like a life sentence for catching a body and then
you're in there playing pickleball.
Actually sounds like.
Sounds kind of nice.
There are definitely times where I'm like, if I could hang out with the fellas, play
pickleball all day, have my meals and my clothes taken care of me, jail ain't so bad.
Prison should save a few rooms for hotels.
Yes.
If I could take a vacation in prison.
Hang out with the guys, just watch sports.
I'd be pretty interested.
Not like your Brady thing, but I went on a field trip to prison.
No, I've never seen a prison, no.
It's crazy.
Really?
Were you in a prison Or in a jail
Yeah I went to
It was like our
Criminal justice class
And we went
And they were just like
Whistle at the girls
And like one guy
Threw piss at us
What
Actual piss
That sounds
Extremely
It's crazy that they
Brought us to
No middle school
No it was high school
Yeah
The fact that they
Brought us to jail
Is fucking insane
Yeah I do love the movie.
I thought you were going to say like a fucking Rikers, not Rikers, The Rock type stuff.
Yeah, like Alcatrax.
An empty prison, Alcatrax.
No, yeah, there was definitely some people in there.
Back in the day, people used to just kind of let it rip, you know?
No, you didn't give a shit.
Like teachers were just like, I don't know, this is a good idea for the day.
What's the worst that could happen?
Oh, like a teenage girl got covered in piss from a inmate.
And then they would just be like, whoops, we're not doing that again.
But we did do it once.
Shit is crazy, man.
We played a game called Big Bat Bopper Baseball.
Did you play mat ball?
I've talked about that a couple times on KC Radio.
Mat ball is awesome.
Mat ball is legitimately the best game ever created.
I would watch like a professional league if I could.
You know the fold-out gymnastics
mats? You have four of those
on each quarter of the gym,
and those are the four bases. You play
like kickball. You have to round the bases
twice to score,
and you can run whenever you want.
So it's kind of like a non-stop
kickball game with pegs
and stealing and all this shit.
And then we combine that with pegs and stealing and all this shit. Then we combined that
with a bat and a
different ball and it
was absolute chaos. People
were whacking the ball around. People were crashing
into each other.
We had to halt.
Indy 500 was the real one.
Indy 500, Mr. Fecht
in 6th grade. You sat on the
roller things. The ones you used to roll over your fingers.
You sat on those.
You had a partner.
I would sit, and we'd have a PVC pipe shaped like an L, and I would hold it, and you would run and whip me around, and it was a race.
And kids were, like, crashing, flying into the walls, getting their fingers.
We played it one time, and it was awesome.
And he was like
we're not for sure
this is a game
he was like
don't tell your parents
the worst day
was when they came in
for scoliosis check
because I'm proud
there's a bat
so it's like
the bat's pretty straight
it's the worst
when they're like
bend down
I was like
bro I know
I'm leaning left
I don't know
what to tell you
don't have to tell everyone
I got theosis
and it's just like every year it's the same guy did you wear a brace no I've refused I know I'm leaning left. I don't know what to tell you. Don't have to tell everyone I got theosis.
And it's just like every year, the same guy.
Did you wear a brace?
No, I've refused to do it.
I'd rather die tomorrow than wear a brace.
So you can't be doing that. So if you bend over right now, you're still crooked?
Oh, yeah.
Really?
I'm so crooked.
Does it hurt?
I'm going to be like literally just leaning left when I'm 50.
No way.
Probably.
Probably.
It's pretty bad.
I haven't been a doctor in 10 years.
Does that hurt?
No, actually. Why is scoliosis
coming up? It's very weird.
I think it was our last Monday episode.
Are you saying things that you guys have said?
Apparently. It's not scoliosis.
We were talking about scoliosis.
Oh, yeah, it was Robbie.
I brought Spina Bifida.
We don't need to bring that up again.
No.
No, that's just –
Spina Bifida is just like if you get that, your parents kill you.
That's what that is.
Yeah.
Before you get out of the womb.
It's a big old abortion.
When I was born, I was supposed to wear a helmet.
You want those squishy heads?
No.
One of my faces – one of the sides of my face is bigger than the other.
But it doesn't look it, right?
No.
You wouldn't know.
No.
It would only like shave my face off.
And then my dad dropped me off a changing table.
It's been downhill for me.
Everybody does that.
I drop my kids all the time.
Are you an alien guy?
What?
Are you an alien guy?
Not so much.
I'm not like not an alien guy, but I'm not like –
I think I'm at the level of aliens that like everyone is.
We don't really care.
Like everyone said it.
Like they've proven it 50 times and it seems like as a public we don't care.
What I've learned about aliens, I've also – I've applied it to everything else in life.
And I think it's the greatest lesson to learn, especially in this era.
People don't actually care about things.
They care about the discussion and the hysteria around it.
So, like, everyone was clamoring for aliens.
And then the government released all those files that basically says, not confirming that we have, like, green martians but being like we have things that we're calling materials from another world
and from from another planet and nobody cares nobody there there are these crazy like enthusiasts
and it's like okay go read these documents they're not doing it there's a website from the freedom
of information act it has all of the documents i think they keep some redacted but all the documents
that the government's ever had on aliens they they're like, okay, here. And people
just go, okay, never mind. But they want
like, if they think it's a conspiracy theory,
they want to yell about it. And then the government
admits it, and they're like, okay, on to the next thing.
It's one of the least read websites in the world.
It's the same thing about all this shit.
It's like when you write about a take at Barstool. When you write about something,
no one gives a fuck. No one cares.
When you do something so stupid, they're like,
jump all over you.
Yeah, that's true.
And it's the same thing with –
They live in Antarctica.
They did –
There was something else recently where they like –
Oh, like they basically said the CIA killed JFK.
Yeah.
Nobody cares.
Yeah, no one cares.
People have been yelling about that.
We've been making movies forever.
There was a document that was like the government was basically involved and nobody cares.
Yeah, no.
I didn't know that document was out.
Exactly.

You said something interesting, though.
You said something about the take at Barstool. Has sports Twitter gotten way, way worse,
or is it just like I'm more,
I have more time for it anymore?
No, it's bad.
Like, it is, it is.
I think way more people have joined.
You gotta remember,
when we were on Twitter,
it was still pretty small.
Yeah.
It's a lot more people.
But even like this morning,
even like sending like benign tweets about Brady,
it's like, what are you,
a dumb as fucking person?
Was it Tom Brady was good? What are we talking about anymore? They always have to bring up Brady. It's like, what are you, a dumb as fucking person? Was it Tom Brady was good?
What are we talking about anymore?
They always have to bring up something where it's like,
we were literally talking about this last night,
where we watched Pamela Anderson documentary, right?
It was cool to be famous back then because you were chosen.
You were picked.
We were literally just going on.
It's like us three's us three sitting here.
We shouldn't be here.
If you were an asshole back then, if you were a rich and famous asshole, you kind of deserved to be because the whole world knew you.
And you were doing something that only you could do.
And now it's like every Twitch streamer, everybody with a phone, everybody who can talk, everybody's famous.
And it's like you're not famous.
You have a clique of people that know you
and we found out that you can
monetize all these different camps
and become wealthy, but you're not famous.
Fuck you. Yeah, famous people used to
work fucking three months a year.
Yeah, you work every day.
You're not famous.
That's why it was so cool.
Like Pam Anderson, she really didn't do anything.
She was just her. Everyone wanted to know what was going on it's like now you post a tiktok i'm here like i'm saying this about myself as well totally i don't deserve you know
what was really cool about famous people was you didn't know everything about them yes so when you
saw them out at a bar that's why the paparazzi existed because it was like
I want to see them outside the movies. Outside the
pictures, the talkies. They go to a
bar, they dance, they like to drink, they're
kissing in public. Now it's like
and I mean, you know what it is?
The less talented you are
the more you need to give.
So it's like I need to show everything
about my life to keep you guys interested in me
because I'm not that interesting. I was like last weekend I was I need to show everything about my life to keep you guys interested in me because I'm not that interesting that was like last weekend
I was
went to a place and Kevin Durant
walked in and it was the
coolest that was like finally I was like this guy
he came in the music changed
completely it was like you
were at like your graduate
you were at like a school dance music to like
it was just rap and then
he just went over like some of the Knicks were there he smoked a blunt Gradually Like a school dance music Till like It was just rap And then He just
Went over
Like some of the Knicks were there
He smoked a blunt
Left
15 minutes
Really
And it was the coolest thing
I've ever seen
That is like
You guys were with somebody recently
And Bria texted me
Who was it
I think you saw him like twice recently
She said
I think it was
You
Forget
We've seen
We've been running into random
Like Julius Randall was there
Were you at a restaurant?
It was Little Sister
I'll tell you what
I wouldn't know when he clubbed
Oh it's Sir Keith Hernandez again
She's like I might sound dumb
But that looks like an old Keith Hernandez
That's Keith Hernandez
He looks bad
He's got three pairs of glasses on
When you're in public Vers versus when you get your makeup and all that shit done.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, that's why the most popular magazine like us had a whole section which was called
Star Wars.
Just like us.
They take out their trash sometimes.
Right.
Because you just never saw any of that shit, you know?
Can I ask you a barstool question?
Yeah, that's why we're doing this episode.
I forgot.
We usually forget that stuff.
How does it – you guys are in your own world and I love that.
But you also see everything.
How has it changed – I feel like now is the most different Barstool has ever been.
Yeah, yeah, totally, totally.
And you'll be able to say that next year.
You'll be able to say that next year.
Like anything.
It's not that it's a – it doesn't ebb and flow.
It continually gets more more different now i feel like it's mostly if you have your thing you go do your thing like in the old office it was like you said one thing you're like trying to
get a comment to still seeing camera you're trying to like yeah yeah it was one thing yeah yeah i i
think uh we've talked about it on these monday episodes with people come through i think we're
going to try to restore a little bit of that, hopefully, with the New York office in a more fun way as opposed to a more gotcha way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe actually work together.
Yeah, yeah.
That would be fun.
I think it would be like, hey, we have a lot of followers.
You know what I would say?
We can do something together.
I think not only would it be fun.
Here's what I say about collaborating and cooperating
let's try it
let's try it
maybe it won't work
maybe we'll be wrong
and it's like no the only way this shit works
is when we are at each other's throats
and we have beef
and we're throwing cans at each other
maybe that's when Barstool thrives
I'd like to think that we can also do it where we're canceling each other maybe that's when barstool thrives i'd like to
think that we can also do it where we're like oh that was funny and like oh what you're talking
about is the subject matter on my show usually why don't you come on and we'll talk about it
and we'll share a lot just like people just like everyone's got to drop some egos sometimes oh yeah
like just maybe we'll sit down and talk about like we can all have i can have an idea for you
it doesn't have to be for me like you can have to be for me that's how these places
the way Barstool was
was perfect for what it was
now that sounds stupid but it's like
what it was was like 5 or 6 guys
8 to 10 guys it got eventually to like
12 to 15 guys a couple girls
that like were
butting heads and arguing and talking
shit and busting balls and
that's gonna get you to like here
but once you're here
you got to do like a writer's room
and a brainstorming session and some of those
things feel like you're selling out
a little bit or whatever but it's not
really it's like
we've sold out in all the
bad ways and none of the good ways
we're going to sell it might as well do it all
let's do it where it's like sit down and I'm going to kick some ideas around and it's like ordinarily I would try to wedge this into my podcast.
But it works better if he does it and makes a video with it or she talks about it on her show.
There's so much – it used to just be race to the story.
I want to get it up first.
I want to talk about it first.
I want it to be my whatever.
And now I think it should be more like what's better for the whole like
crew,
you know?
And it's,
you know,
I think if a couple of people buy into it and you see rising tides lifts
all ships,
then other people buy into it.
But there's still,
people got to let their guard down a little bit.
I remember,
uh,
who was it?
One of these,
one of these LA comics
that the LA scene
was very like
you come on my show I'll come on your show
we'll blow it up you have a special coming out
you make the rounds they all help each other
it really started with Rogan but they all took
because they all got out to LA
and they were either on sitcoms or movies or whatever
and they made money and they got rich
and once you're rich you let your guard down a little bit
and you're not like, this is mine.
I need the stage.
I need the spotlight.
They all had some money and it was like,
let's share the spotlight a little bit.
Now, not everybody here is rich,
but it's a better mindset to be like,
there's enough internet to go around.
You'll get enough followers too.
You'll get enough shine if you come on my show
and I come on your show and do all that
shit like those guys did it and everybody's podcast succeeded because they were like all
right i've got some now let me help out others yeah if you do it the right way i think you can
have both like you can still bust balls and talk shit and have fun and not be like we were
oddly separate you know what i mean yeah it's like we have every celebrity under
the sun on our show to promote their stuff but we will never talk to each other on on our shows
like maybe the rundown we get together but like as far as i'll come on your show you come on mine
never ever that's crazy what you know it's like that's so the fact that people like didn't kind
of see through that more it's like what the fuck is going on here?
It's crazy.
Yeah, I don't know, man.
I've been a wild year for myself.
I was going to say where are you at right now?
I mean was there a point where you were like – if I were you, I probably wouldn't have even made it to February.
I probably would have left earlier and been like fuck this place.
Yeah, no, that definitely – when it was happening, I was like what the fuck?
The weirdest thing that happened. You pretty early got, sorry to interrupt, but you pretty early got, not a confirmation,
but contacted from other people being like, you're not going anywhere, right?
Not really.
No?
Maybe I heard it from someone else.
I thought I heard that.
I remember I had a pen event.
The pen people liked me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's what I did.
The pen liked me.
They were like, we like you.
I don't care what you do.
Right.
Okay, that's what I was talking about.
Yeah, yeah, no.
Not from Dave or Eric or anything.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
The pen people were like.
No, yeah.
It was weird.
It was.
Well, so that's interesting because pen is about to take over.
That's where I was going.
And your contract is up.
And so if someone at pen likes you, I'm sure that Dave will still have a lot of say on a lot of things.
But ultimately, they make the call.
So if they're like, Marty makes us money and we like him, you're going to stay.
However, they're taking over right when your contract is expiring.
It's like, well, who's in control when Marty is up?
Is your contract with Penn or Barstool?
I don't even know how that works with gambling people.
I think it's Barstool.
I don't really understand.
I think we have people who are gambling people
who have contacts with Penn.
Who are not at Barstool.
I could be wrong.
That could be another thing
I heard on the street.
I think some people
that are brought on
that don't even work
like maybe Megan.
Yeah, I'm worried
Megan would come.
But either way,
you were in a spot
where if someone from Penn
gave you assurances,
thanks and all, but the guy who's still running the show says he fucking hates me right now. Yeah, yeah.
No, I took that with – it was literally – I had an event for me and Dana for just, like, playing slots and shit.
Yeah, I remember that.
It was the day – it was, like, two days after.
Yeah.
And it was, like – I don't know what the fuck was going on.
Right.
It was a wild time, but the weirdest part is, like, I don't know, me and Rhea, we were completely fine.
Yeah.
Like, and we were talking about it the other day.
It's like, no one else is going to go through it.
If we can get through that, we're good with anything.
But, yeah, no, sorry, I love Rhea.
My bad.
But the whole thing was, I'll be honest, I got offered more money to go somewhere else.
Yeah.
But I was like, I don't. Like or for fake like i believe you because other people else has made that claim as
well oh and they were backing it about two days like like you're not saying that you have a like a radio show ready that doesn't exist i wasn't doing
it for i didn't even like i i don't know i just i i think i would have taken that if i were you
yeah no and that's in that instance i think i don't think i would have been like i don't think
cooler heads would have prevailed for me i think it would have been like fuck this i'm out yeah
it was a lot of that but then one i was like i don't want to go out like that true was one thing two was on like
fuck fuck the commenters at one point yeah you don't want to let them control it like yeah there's
a lot of people in here that were but so that's the thing like i don't care about the commenters
i would have been like fuck all the people oh i know who yeah had my back or who like right
privately was on my side but still said publicly yeah yeah but like again it all yeah, yeah. But, like, again, it all – I was like,
when am I going to be mad at everybody the entire time?
Oh, I mean, I went through it too.
Not the same where it was, like, directed at me,
but it was just like, I know who has my back and who doesn't.
Yeah.
And that's okay because you don't have to, like, be, like,
friends with or defended by everyone you work with.
You know what I mean?
You just have to recruit a lot of people.
We're not friends with everybody here. Yeah. Yeah, people don't get that. We're not friends with or defended by everyone you work with. We're not friends with everybody here.
People don't get that.
I think people think the same thing with sports teams
where it's like everyone's best friends are like...
Absolutely not.
A couple people are tight.
As a matter of fact, it's more like...
Not enemies by any stretch.
You throw a bunch of people together.
It's like, you're my guy.
There's like, oh, I'll still trust you with everything, but I'm not hanging out with you all the time. And there's like that you're my guy yeah it's like oh i'll like
still trust you with everything but i'm not hanging out with you all the time and there's like i'm
good right right right i think that's every workplace yeah that's just that's normal but
it also came off the heels of um everybody that there was the burner talk where we know that there
are people talking shit behind closed doors Because that was literally the same day.
I was like, well, at least hit your best.
Yeah.
If I could ever fucking – I wish I recorded myself, but then it would have been disingenuous.
It would have made it seem like I was angry because there was nothing I could do.
I remember – like I really wanted the burners.
I really wanted to know what it was.
That was when we were like, who cares about that?
You guys were helping me.
This is really –? This is important.
We have people who are sabotaging other people's careers on purpose.
And everyone's like, oh, whatever.
But these guys are dating.
It's like, what the fuck is going on here?
So it's just kind of one day when I look back,
it's such a shame Tom Brady retired today because he had to tweet too.
And Team Giselle.
Hope Giselle is fucking doing good with her instructor.
But like –
That's funny.
I don't know.
It's just such a weird thing because I've always been able to separate my life and Barstool.
But now obviously she works here and there.
But like I've never been happier good which is crazy
i know i'm getting gay on here but like i fucking love her a lot so it's like i don't regret anything
i did and uh yeah go fuck yourself i really don't care and that's not selfish to me people like oh
that's selfish it's like no i don't i don't oh bro i'm the biggest pro selfish person in the world
you eat there i just like there's one life you look out for one might as well be fucking I don't. Oh, bro. I'm the biggest pro-selfish person in the world.
There's one life.
You look out for one. Might as well be fucking selfish, bro.
You look out for number one and the people who matter.
And she feels the same.
So, like, what am I supposed to do?
Because you don't like it?
I'm not going to date her?
No, that's crazy.
No, fuck that.
I mean, it's crazy.
And, like, yeah, you wish that it would all be good.
You know, in a perfect world, nobody dated anybody prior and it would all be perfect.
But that's not how it works.
There's so many people dating here that everyone's like, you can't date here.
It's like, what are you talking about?
Almost exclusively people.
I have never seen a more incestual place.
Oh, my God.
It's just like –
I remember I had – when I was in high school, I had – so it was my senior year and when I was in high school, most of my friends were college – I'm sorry, were a year older than me.
So they were all in college my senior year and they all came home for some fucking Thanksgiving, Christmas, whatever fucking holiday it was.
And some of them brought their friends from college home.
And like we all hooked up with each other that weekend.
Yeah.
And their friends left and they were like – I remember one of their friends from college home and like we all hooked up with each other that weekend yeah and their friends left and they were like i remember one of their groups from clemson their friend said i've never seen a more incestuous group of people in my life
and barstool blows high school me out of the fucking water dude
it was such a weird time though like that whole thing because people like some people don't have
power here they can't say
anything they thought it was weird whatever and i don't care like i don't care about you
publicly saying anything about and you guys honestly did so i appreciate that because the
favorite my favorite one was with taylor and will that was great they were like what the fuck's
going on i was like they've been broken up for a year it was like he's like what yeah i'm changing
that it was that was when we when we changed it to a hypothetical,
which was much more fun to talk about your co-worker's sex lives on hypotheticals.
But it was like, let's just keep going with this hypothetical.
Oh, we just talked about it like it was their co-workers.
Like it was Titans.
Right, right, yeah.
We said, what if there was a player in your locker room that blah, blah, blah,
and he was like, this wouldn't be an issue at all.
My favorite thing that happened, though, is when Brady and other, like, first of all, Brady at all favorite thing that happened though because when Brady and like other
like first of all
Brady
that was crazy
Celtics and Brady
what is happening
right now
I retweeted the Brady
Brady
I was like
come on here dude
no I know
and like the Celtics
thing I'm happy
I actually said
one thing to get
a takeoff
like but
during that
Shaq's son called
yes he was like Shaq was like campaigning that Shaq's son called yes oh he was like he was like he was like
campaigning for Shaq he can't believe this oh yeah all right if Shaq can't come back out with
a fucking team marty tweet so if it was Brady and Shaq getting involved in like this romantic
relationship and all of a sudden he's like I, I'm going to go talk to him.
Maybe I can get him
because his is like,
Shaq's not on his,
even Tom Brady's not on his Twitter.
We know the guy
who's tweeting.
Right, right, right.
He's going to sit right next to him.
Literally,
that's the problem
is that these people
running these things
are stoolies
who are following the gossip
and they're like,
eh.
Exactly.
And then Shaq followed me
and I'm like,
oh my God,
he's going to do it.
It was like two days
and he still followed me
so it's sick.
Wait,
didn't Brady follow you
too during that or was that later? He followed and unfollowed, He followed me. Wait, didn't Brady follow you too during that?
He followed me on TikTok
and I made a TikTok about it and he unfollowed me so fast.
Again, I'm so happy.
Respect both sides. Giselle looks so happy.
Didn't he just
retire to get divorced though?
Dude, I made a video about it today.
I was like, I don't know what.
I was like, maybe he wanted to get divorced.
Maybe he was like, fucking break up with me.
I've been playing for 50 years.
You won't do it.
I guess I'll have to pretend and then get you pissed off.
It's crazy.
He has a team literally begging him to go play for it right now with a Super Bowl roster,
and he's retired.
Yeah, I mean.
He has multiple teams.
The 49ers.
49ers.
Take him in a fucking heartbeat.
In a second.
Raiders.
Titans. Like almost anybody without a quarterback. Right. Yeah, but the 49ers have take him in a fucking heartbeat. Raiders, Titans.
Like almost anybody without a quarterback.
Yeah, but the 49ers have everything he needs.
He doesn't even need to be Brady anymore.
It's like the Peyton Manning year.
Which you just manage the game and be fine.
I was like, Tom Brady broke his promise about playing until he sucks.
People were like, oh, actually, Tom Brady didn't suck for us.
I think he was like top three in passing.
I would say he was A top ten quarterback
This year
Yeah he was fine
Like he wasn't like
He wasn't Tom Brady anymore
But there's a
There's a long fucking fall
From Tom Brady
To suck anyone
Fuck him
On the Patriots
Patriots have like
I think we have a shot
To win the AFCs
With him this year
Oh yeah
For sure
Take him in a heartbeat
But yeah he played
Because he was like
She doesn't want me to play.
I need to just keep playing until she gets the fuck out.
I mean, it's like conspiracy theory-esque, but it does, like, the alternative of just like,
I came out of retirement, I had a mediocre year, I got divorced, and I'm retiring again.
It's kind of fucking weird.
Two weeks after the season.
It wasn't like he waited to wait.
Yeah, no, he knew.
Same day he retired last year.
Oh, it's the same day.
He also retired February 1st last year.
I don't know what it is.
It could just be like,
that sucks and I don't want to go through that again.
So I'm just retired, whatever.
But it definitely was like,
well, I'm sure you regret that, right?
Unless he was like,
I'm sure we talked about this before too.
I'm sure their marriage was not great for a long time.
Yeah.
Whenever these things come out and you think that one person is winning the breakup versus the other, chances are that person wanted the fuck out of it, too.
So there's no like, oh, I lost.
It's like you might have publicly done something, but I'm thrilled to be out of here.
So who knows what it was?
But I do know that unretiring for that was fucking weird.
Yeah, very stupid.
A lot of comebacks have gone awry, but that one was not good.
It's a great retirement.
Well, Brady also did what Bosco did.
He did something to see what – it was like watching your funeral.
Like what's everyone going to say about you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then all of a sudden it's like, oh, I'll come back.
I did respect that he was like you only get one heartfelt thing.
That's what I mean.
This is a great retirement.
But also it's like –
On the beach, sitting on the beach too.
You know who is fucking pissed is Greg Olson.
Greg Olson is like, fuck, god damn it.
He's the third wheel.
I mean he's going to do – he damn it! He's the third wheel.
He's going to be on the Super Bowl broadcast,
right? And then you get fired.
Not get fired, but get demoted.
I also... People were saying how
it's bad for Greg.
Nothing about this is bad for Greg.
Greg stepped up and has proven
that he is an unbelievable
world-class broadcaster
if someone else slides in and it's tom brady who had you and you get like contract of 300
million dollars just already waiting yeah um two things i think one like you're you're you're
you're fine and you will be like doing other games and maybe even another network whatever like you're
good uh and two i think there's a chance that there's going to be a lot of people saying greg
olsen bring greg olsen back greg olsen's better than brady like like tom brady is not guaranteed
to be good at this shit yeah we know we know that greg olsen is a great broadcaster now i think tom
brady will be pretty good i don't think he'll be good as Greg Olson.
Greg Olson is just as good as the best are.
So I think there's going to be a lot of chirping of other networks
and other people being like, he's better than that.
And then Greg Olson gets to go, oh, I'm better than the guy
who got a $300 million contract?
Yeah, he's a great guy, especially because he's on the Super Bowl already this year.
Right.
And Tony Romo sucks so bad.
Has anybody ever run their course more than him?
Relatively quick, right?
He's been doing it like five years now.
I'd say a little longer than that.
Was it longer?
I mean, in the beginning, it was like –
We were definitely at the old office with few chairs talking about it.
At first, we liked it.
We all had our own recliner at the old office.
We had like 12 recliners.
Yes.
And I remember sitting in that semicircle with people debating that.
So that was, I'd say that was eight years ago.
But maybe he went from like, this guy's amazing.
Well, they liked him because he was calling out the plays before a game.
That happened like three times.
I've never seen.
He did it once, and then everyone's like, oh my god.
But I was like, I don't want to know the play, actually.
I just want to wait.
I've never seen a more like, there's a lot of things in life i'm trying
to think of an example where it's just like one thing happened one time and you rode that
to the bank you know yeah it's like tony romo like two or three times called it right
500 000 times got it wrong but people were like you look at this prediction you know it's like
today's episode is brought to you by whistle pigpig. I mean, what can we say?
I think I'm getting a best man speech right now because, well, it's not.
I wouldn't be a best man because I'm the one who wants to marry Whistlepig.
So I feel like I'm giving my vows right now.
What can I say about Whistlepig that everyone doesn't know already?
I love Whistlepig with all of my heart.
Whistlepig is the most important thing in my life.

It was pretty.
I mean, I think the coolest thing that's ever happened to you.
I swear to God.
I was trying to think of like.
No, it is.
I went through.
I did a takeoff actually.
I don't know why.
But they did a Snapchat.
I was like, that's the coolest thing that's ever.
Because that's like a huge personality that people fucking love that just like told you you're coming to here
getting getting the show either he's just like right i remember like because we say so much
shit to celebrities on podcasts that forget it right when they go out the door right the fact
that he followed through on it and he followed through it nine months later like long like if
he did it that week it would be like he he came up with this idea and he wants to follow through
with it he thought about it he tried it it failed like he he had with this idea and he wants to follow through with it. He thought about it. He tried it. It failed.
He had it set.
He had to cancel it.
Oh, really?
And then he still did it again.
So we were supposed to go to Morocco.
Oh, God.
Morocco would have been crazy.
Morocco would have been dope too.
That would have been awesome too.
Morocco would have been great.
And then you would have thought like –
It's in northern Africa.
Yeah, it's off the coast of –
Yeah, yeah.
It makes you think of like –
It's like Northwest Africa.
I was going to say almost a big rattler.
You know, almost like one of those...
It's like a banjo type thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That to me makes me think of a maraca.
It's almost like Mediterranean.
Are you talking about a sea tower?
I don't know what that is either.
Maybe, but also we're thinking of maracas,
which are an instrument, and that's what they're called.
There's Morocco and maracas.
You debabled motherfuckers.
It's a couple things.
It's, one, the fact that he wanted to do it with us, still did it with us, and when we did it, he was like, that was fucking awesome.
Yeah.
There's a chance if you do it with someone else and we show up and he's he's like oh these guys like they can't party or they're not fun or they're
uptight he like i at one point i was almost like feeling him out i'm like are you just saying this
like for effect or uh i went on ari shafir's travel podcast and he called bird afterwards
and he was like it was fucking great they were they were awesome like and he was talking to us
off camera about like he was like was like, this is so awesome.
And the video when he put out saying you're on the clock now, it got like 3 million views right away.
And he was like, that was – that got me thinking that I could make this into a series.
So the fact that like we were a big enough draw and he liked us enough and all that shit that he was like happy with it.
The second that we got there and he was already impressed with views,
I was like, all right, thank God.
We're going for our flights.
Because I was like, you don't want it to make it feel like you were a make a wish.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We're bringing something to the table as well.
But he also was like, he was like,
I had four of the funniest moments of my life on this trip.
And the fact that he said four, if you say that was the funniest moment of my life on this trip.
And the fact that he said four,
if you say that was the funniest moment of my life,
it's like, no, it wasn't.
Four was a lot. He was like, this thing happened, this thing happened,
this thing happened, this thing happened.
That were all, he was like.
What were the four?
It was me watching you, you watching me,
Mark returning, and.
It's gotta be Kevin.
It was a, yeah, yeah.
Oh, yes, yes.
And period.
Period.
He was like, if you have one of those moments
On a trip
Or on a
At a thing
You remember for the rest of your life
And I had four in one night
And I was like
That was the first thing
Cause here you get like
Things happen
You're like ah
Whatever
Like when other people
Are doing things
But that was the first one
I was like whoa
Yeah yeah
You know what's funny
Was uh Uh I was the first one I was like, whoa. You know what was funny was
I was saying, I was like, we should get as much
as we can out of this. We should talk about this a lot
even when we think it's beaten to death.
It's a big moment for us.
But then that day on the rundown
it was when Burt had announced it
I was like, I'm not going to talk about this on the rundown
because Dave is not going to give a fuck about this.
And Big Cat was like, did you get your tickets yet? Or whatever. And I was like, yeah, not going to talk about this in the rundown because Dave is not going to give a fuck about this. And Big Cat was like, did you get your tickets yet or whatever?
And I was like, yeah, yeah, we're all set.
And Dave was like, what are you doing?
And I was like, this comedian, Bert Kreischer, like he – I explained it very quickly.
And he was just like, OK.
And I was like, all right.
I walked in this Monday and you were doing the rundown.
You were talking about it.
Did you talk about it more than –
And then – yeah.
So he seemed interested in that one.
Then he put it on the after show.
He was like, post show on the note was like Amsterdam.
In Dave's way, we talked about it for
a couple seconds.
But initially, he tweeted
out, he quote tweeted
Bert's tweet and
said, this is almost as crazy as when
clem and hank went to latvia and i was like is that is this another dave thing where he's trying
to be like we've already like that's not a big deal we've done that before or was he just saying
like oh this is wild this is like the time that you know i sent those guys over there i didn't
because the comparison didn't make any sense like they any sense. They didn't leave in 24 hours.
They just traveled somewhere.
Yeah.
And also, Amsterdam is crazy to go to Latvia.
People go to Amsterdam.
I didn't know what it was.
And I was like, I think this is another thing of Dave trying to downplay it.
I don't know what it was.
I didn't know how to read.
I didn't know how to.
It's just one of those things that's funny.
It's like, I'll go on any show. I could talk about a trip for eight hours straight.
And on the rundown, I was like, it was fun.
It was cool.
I know how this goes.
You're not going to care.
The last time he's talked to me is when I called Tom Izzo Hitler.
So you're winning right now.
What did he say about that?
That was great.
I was just letting him know.
So I didn't know the Associated Press was a huge publication.
Yeah. Yeah, i had no idea and uh i was like hey this article is probably gonna come out just like
i literally was just comparing him to hitler and he's like he's done that before he literally
called everybody yeah yeah and he was just like uh he's like let me see the clip and then i sent
the clip and he said all good all right sounds right. Sounds good. I will say this.
I don't know if he said anything to you privately.
I don't know if he said anything publicly.
I don't know if he's ever expanded upon it.
This is about as much as you'll ever see Dave.
I don't even want to say admit he was wrong because he doesn't.
But he called off the dogs, basically.
And usually he doesn't but like he he called off the dogs basically yeah and usually he doesn't usually when he's when he when he really when he calls out a grudge as much as he
did that he usually puts your name on a champagne bottle and he waits for you to die and this was
like he he turned around and said like you can still work here if he really wanted to he could
have definitely just been like no don't recite't resign him, whatever. First of all, did you see like two weeks ago or three weeks ago that this random paparazzi guy went up to him in Miami and asked him about my contract?
No.
That's how I found out.
What?
Basically, I knew –
You found out what?
I knew I kind of – me and Erica kind of talked and was like, I'll get back to you.
And I knew I was going to get it. And then some Stoolie account clipped in.
It was like, oh, what do you think about Marty Mush's contract?
Like, why he's taking a walk?
And he's like, oh, well, Marty pushed that guy out,
so he's going to get another year.
It's crazy.
Where's that guy at?
The intruder guy.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
See, that's what I mean.
So, like, Dave, like like he's saying that but that's
well I will say that's a smart uh paparazzi guy though because it might sound silly but he knows
what gets clicks on the internet yeah and that saga got a lot of fucking I um so after it all
happened I obviously just didn't say anything to him for a little bit just letting it sizzle over
and then I went he was because one time he's in the office i was heartbeat and i
was like oh fuck i was like you know what i just went into his office and i was like hey listen i
even if you think i'm wrong i am i'm not sorry for what i did but i understand what you mean
i really want to work here still like i appreciate you all this like just that stuff yeah yeah and
then he like did his like you know very just like yeah got it, yep, sounds good. And again, that's all you're going to get from him.
The next day, he texted me being like, I appreciate you doing that time heels off.
That's where I was like, all right, I think I should be.
Good.
And again, that is about the most you'll ever get from Dave.
Not to impress him anymore, but we're boys.
Like how much time?
Would you say about eight and a half months time?
Because we're coming up on a mark here.
I'd love to watch March Madness with you.
Well, I mean, I think I know we're happy you're back.
I think there's a huge, huge chunk of stoolies who are happy you're back and the people who aren't.
It was a lot.
It was good.
It was pretty positive.
I mean, the people who get, it's weird.
Like the people who get bent out of shape about this shit Are also our biggest fans
So it's like
Sometimes it's like
You want people to be
That invested in your life
That they care
But also
If you're one of those people
Who are so invested
And care so much
And then care enough to like
Tweet at you
Or whatever
Fuck them
But you also see
Sorry
It's also the side
Rian and I were talking about
I was like
Isn't it kind of crazy
That people cared about us
That much
I don't
You're preaching to the choir
On that one
I remember being like
People magazine
That much
Fucking Daily Mail
Are talking about it
In different countries
It's like
There's gotta be something
And that was
Fucking years ago
When we were nobodies
I was like
What the fuck
But that's also
It makes you kind of go
Oh okay I remember You know the Jackie Am I famous ago when we were nobodies. I was like, what the fuck? But that's also kind of, it makes you kind of go like, oh, okay.
I remember,
dude, the first
fucking, the first
rundown, Dave goes,
you made People Magazine.
I was like, yeah, my dream,
to make People Magazine.
Stars, they're just like us.
When you think about it after, it's like, alright, it's over,
like, no one really cares. If you care about it still, you're like, all right, it's over. No one really cares.
If you care about it still, you're thinking about something else.
But then you're like, Tom Brady, huh?
Tom Brady was weighing in on that, huh?
It's just like all these things really – I still can't get verified on Instagram, but still.
Dude, it just goes to show that these stories – we were talking about Twitch streamer today and Jeffree Star yesterday.
And it's like people don't care
about the people they care about this the scenarios and the setting and they're also
people see like one thing and then they and i'm guilty as well like if i like i could love
something and someone's like it sucks like ah damn they might be right fuck okay yeah yeah i
don't like you question it and then um but you can see like like i feel like this kind of saga
you're saying today was very positive.
It's like, okay, we don't hate him anymore. Sick.
You never had a reason to hate him.
You never actually did.
What everyone's on the dinner is doing
is you were saying what you thought
would get you the most retweets.
I get mad when they're
now nice.
I'm almost mad when people are okay with it.
I'm like, well, where the fuck has this been?
If that was the case, then why were you –
Rios won Francis' podcast, and Francis was like, yeah.
Publicly, talking was like, yeah, it's stupid, but I tweeted team –
I'm not – yeah, team.
And it was just like – it was like, why did you do that?
But then you're like, I understand.
He's like, I honestly probably just want to retweet.
And it's like, all right.
You're just getting swept up in a saga and a story.
And it's why Who's the Biggest Asshole works and all the asshole Reddit things work.
It's like, you don't know these people.
You don't know anything.
You're just like, oh, wait.
So the boyfriend said what to the girlfriend about the boss?
And then you're just like arguing.
What is the number one human game to play?
Sit in judgment of others.
That's all we like to do.
What's your favorite game?
Talk shit.
TikTok.
I see one thing of some random fuck that I have no idea who it is saying a story.
I'm like, that's true.
There's a lot of people who do that.
And forget about that.
Now you can't.
I don't know if you can read or watch or trust anything.
That's why I don't do it anymore.
You can't.
I don't do it anymore because I got too many times.
I know the news is fake.
Every news anchor is fake.
We know that they're doing it for money and popularity.
And then like every article you read online is like, well, that's just a blog.
And then you find a journalist and it's like,
but what journal?
Bro, just watch movies and TV.
I'm really happy.
This might sound conceited, but when I first started,
I was just being myself
and stupid things and whatever
and people loved it.
Now it seems like if you're not doing, like,
faking a scenario people like dude no bro
i don't know like i think a lot of people everything's a lot of people fake things yeah
yeah yeah or like scenarios like oh this could be funny if i do this and then just
totally personality like the like the gym like the gym things okay yeah it's like here's what it is
and i think this is i think we're coming to a point where the people who are going to realize this are going to have longevity and the people who don't are not going to.
You can work the algorithm.
You can work the system.
You can come up with scenarios, fake a video, fake some drama, and get short-term clicks, views, and gain.
That does not build a fan base.
That does not build longevity. That does not build trust and all that shit if you stick to your game if you have if you have a good one you
have a good podcast a good fan base a good gimmick whatever and you slowly do it you will build an
audience that will buy tickets that will buy merch that will show up that will be there 10 years 15
years later and maybe you don't have
that pop that the tiktok guy had but that's going to be fleeting yeah that and the smart ones do
both they have they pop and then they figure out a way to you know but the people who come up with
bullshit to like oh this is what the algorithm is doing let me pivot and totally forget what i was
doing to do this and it's like you can't you can't do that you got to blend the two you can't be
totally a dummy about it yeah but the short termterm versus the long-term is everything now.
I tend to agree, and I hope the answer is just have a personality.
Yeah, just have a personality.
Be normal.
Be normal about it.
Don't be a weirdo.
Sometimes people don't even have the personality.
I know, but I think what Kevin's saying is like that is –
That'll catch up with you eventually.
Yeah, I hope it just –
Eventually –
Because that's what Barstool's run on.
There are comics who steal some jokes and have a special and then it's like, okay, now do it again.
You can't.
If you faked a video here, Dave would kill you.
Kill you.
Kill you.
And it's just like –
But I don't think so anymore.
I was going to say now.
That used to be.
Now there are things that I'm like –
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
It's like really?
I know.
Believe me.
But it's,
yeah,
it's just crazy that
I just don't think
many people care anymore.
But,
although they'll care
like in the short term
or in the moment
to get the retweets
and then they don't
in the long run.
I think of that
as the whole,
and it's,
I'm obviously
in the minority
as I am with most things,
but I,
I see like,
don't care about
like a TikTok or a video. It actually like, most see like don't care about like a tiktok or a video it actually like most
videos i don't watch i prefer reading things so like like if i open a thing and we just got to
put this man down it's just like your grandpa's wearing a jockstrap and he wants to read
literally someone shoot this man in the head and put him to sleep. But like, I would prefer reading
things because I somehow have
just not been taken
by the internet
trend of like selfie videos
and things like that. Like Barstool Sports
is mainly a podcast company
but number two is it's a food review
company. Like, if you've got
nothing to do, just eat food and give it a score.
I'm like, what foods aren't we
reviewing? We got crawfish now, dude.
We're reviewing
crawfish. You're so right.
I haven't even thought about this. You're so right.
This is insane.
He's reviewing his lunch.
We got pizza,
obviously. Burgers, I think that's on hiatus,
but burgers was there for a couple years.
Sodas, hot dogs, crawfish.
Burgers was the longest running consecutive show at Barstool for like five years.
Every day there was a burger review.
It was amazing.
I always told Balls.
Oh, yeah, cookies.
Respect to you.
Keep going.
Yeah, you did.
I forget who was doing production. It was like the CRO at the time. Whoever the fuck, I don't know. Whoever he had to you. Keep going. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was like, he'd go, I forget who was doing production.
It was like the CRO at the time.
Whoever the fuck, I don't know.
Whoever he'd have to ask.
But it was like, can I have the credit card today?
I got to go eat lunch and film myself.
It was crazy.
We have reviewed and continue to review at least six or seven foods.
That's too many foods.
Oh, we can't stop.
For a non-food channel.
We can't stop. Why do people believe in us?
Like we know anything about food.
The biggest trash bags in the world.
Anyway, I'm happy you're back, man.
I think you're going to be
a big part of
the new New York, hopefully.
Once we get the ball rolling on it.
Well, here's the thing I keep bringing up.
At the upfronts, they said 60 content people are leaving.
And I was like, I don't even know if we have 60 content.
Let me tell you something right now.
Okay.
I could tell you.
I know Brandon.
Dan, Nick, KB.
PFT.
Yeah.
All part of my take.
And then KB, Nick, and Brandon. PFT. Yeah, all part of my take. And then KB, Nick, and Brandon, and Rudy.
Okay, so it's not 60.
It's less than 60.
I think it's six.
I really don't know anyone else that's going.
Maybe you take a couple of those people, and they each get producers, and then that's up.
Yeah, it might have been like 60 employees.
But they said content.
I guess maybe you're counting producers.
No, but I think these guys are content.
They're not business.
Right, right.
People are confused about it.
But speaking of most intimidating places in Barstool, the third floor still exists.
So how the fuck can we be in the most intimidating place?
Those guys walk around and they run this shit because they do.
I go upstairs and spit in my face.
What the fuck do you want?
Don't go in our closet.
And how long is the contract? A year. One at my face. What the fuck do you want? Don't go in our closet. And how long is the contract?
A year.
One at a time.
I just need to see what the fuck's happening.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Get the lay of the land.
I didn't also really want to negotiate much.
No, I hear you.
Take what you got.
And I think we're going to do, we'll do enough in this year that the Marty Mush Barstool relationship will continue to grow.
I love that.
My man.
