Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, KFC Radio listeners, you can find every episode of KFC Radio on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. 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.
Starting point is 00:00:54 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.
Starting point is 00:01:27 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.
Starting point is 00:01:43 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,
Starting point is 00:01:57 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.
Starting point is 00:02:10 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.
Starting point is 00:02:20 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.
Starting point is 00:02:36 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
Starting point is 00:02:52 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?
Starting point is 00:03:06 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.
Starting point is 00:03:22 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.
Starting point is 00:03:33 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
Starting point is 00:04:10 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.
Starting point is 00:04:28 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.
Starting point is 00:04:47 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.
Starting point is 00:05:05 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.
Starting point is 00:05:21 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.
Starting point is 00:05:40 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
Starting point is 00:05:56 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.
Starting point is 00:06:13 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
Starting point is 00:06:27 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,
Starting point is 00:06:33 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,
Starting point is 00:06:38 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?
Starting point is 00:06:48 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
Starting point is 00:07:06 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.
Starting point is 00:07:18 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.
Starting point is 00:07:30 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.
Starting point is 00:07:50 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.
Starting point is 00:08:09 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.
Starting point is 00:08:27 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?
Starting point is 00:08:37 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?
Starting point is 00:08:47 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.
Starting point is 00:08:55 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?
Starting point is 00:09:02 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. Get HelloFresh and skip that extra trip

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?
Starting point is 00:11:04 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
Starting point is 00:11:19 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.
Starting point is 00:11:43 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.
Starting point is 00:12:02 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.
Starting point is 00:12:18 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.
Starting point is 00:12:28 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.
Starting point is 00:12:36 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.
Starting point is 00:12:44 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...
Starting point is 00:12:58 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.
Starting point is 00:13:17 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
Starting point is 00:13:31 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...
Starting point is 00:13:46 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.
Starting point is 00:14:00 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.
Starting point is 00:14:13 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...
Starting point is 00:14:24 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.
Starting point is 00:14:38 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.
Starting point is 00:14:50 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?
Starting point is 00:15:11 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.
Starting point is 00:15:24 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
Starting point is 00:15:48 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.
Starting point is 00:15:54 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.
Starting point is 00:16:02 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.
Starting point is 00:16:29 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.
Starting point is 00:16:45 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.

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
Starting point is 00:17:50 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.
Starting point is 00:18:08 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.

Starting point is 00:20:22 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.

Starting point is 00:22:29 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
Starting point is 00:22:57 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.
Starting point is 00:23:14 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.
Starting point is 00:23:28 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
Starting point is 00:23:51 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,

Starting point is 00:24:32 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.
Starting point is 00:24:48 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.
Starting point is 00:25:12 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
Starting point is 00:25:32 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
Starting point is 00:25:46 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?
Starting point is 00:26:02 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.
Starting point is 00:26:30 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.
Starting point is 00:26:38 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.
Starting point is 00:26:56 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
Starting point is 00:27:10 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.
Starting point is 00:27:29 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.
Starting point is 00:27:41 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?
Starting point is 00:27:59 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.
Starting point is 00:28:09 Yes. That was always it. Whoever ran the mile the fastest would finish sprints first. I still remember this guy's name. Me too.
Starting point is 00:28:16 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
Starting point is 00:28:27 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.
Starting point is 00:28:51 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.
Starting point is 00:29:07 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.
Starting point is 00:29:18 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,
Starting point is 00:29:24 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.
Starting point is 00:29:37 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.
Starting point is 00:29:46 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
Starting point is 00:29:55 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.
Starting point is 00:30:03 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.
Starting point is 00:30:10 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.
Starting point is 00:30:26 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.
Starting point is 00:30:33 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
Starting point is 00:30:49 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
Starting point is 00:31:05 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
Starting point is 00:31:12 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
Starting point is 00:31:21 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
Starting point is 00:31:29 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
Starting point is 00:31:35 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
Starting point is 00:31:42 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
Starting point is 00:32:19 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.
Starting point is 00:32:40 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?
Starting point is 00:32:50 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?
Starting point is 00:33:06 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.
Starting point is 00:33:19 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.
Starting point is 00:33:33 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.
Starting point is 00:34:03 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,
Starting point is 00:34:29 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.
Starting point is 00:34:46 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.
Starting point is 00:35:02 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.
Starting point is 00:35:20 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.
Starting point is 00:35:45 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
Starting point is 00:36:03 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.
Starting point is 00:36:23 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
Starting point is 00:36:32 Whistle at the girls And like one guy Threw piss at us What Actual piss That sounds Extremely It's crazy that they
Starting point is 00:36:38 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.
Starting point is 00:36:45 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?
Starting point is 00:37:00 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.
Starting point is 00:37:20 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,
Starting point is 00:37:35 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
Starting point is 00:37:52 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.
Starting point is 00:38:08 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
Starting point is 00:38:27 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
Starting point is 00:38:34 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
Starting point is 00:38:42 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?
Starting point is 00:38:54 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.
Starting point is 00:39:02 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.
Starting point is 00:39:18 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.
Starting point is 00:39:31 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?
Starting point is 00:39:46 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.
Starting point is 00:39:58 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.
Starting point is 00:40:12 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
Starting point is 00:40:53 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.
Starting point is 00:41:16 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.
Starting point is 00:41:28 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.
Starting point is 00:41:39 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.
Starting point is 00:43:31 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,
Starting point is 00:43:39 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?
Starting point is 00:43:54 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.
Starting point is 00:44:24 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.
Starting point is 00:44:38 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
Starting point is 00:45:10 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
Starting point is 00:45:26 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
Starting point is 00:45:42 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
Starting point is 00:45:50 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
Starting point is 00:45:58 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
Starting point is 00:46:09 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
Starting point is 00:46:24 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?
Starting point is 00:46:40 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.
Starting point is 00:46:58 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.
Starting point is 00:47:31 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.
Starting point is 00:47:43 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
Starting point is 00:47:58 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
Starting point is 00:48:25 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
Starting point is 00:48:42 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
Starting point is 00:48:57 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.
Starting point is 00:49:22 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,
Starting point is 00:49:36 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
Starting point is 00:49:45 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
Starting point is 00:50:02 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,
Starting point is 00:50:14 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
Starting point is 00:50:41 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.
Starting point is 00:51:09 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?
Starting point is 00:51:36 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.
Starting point is 00:51:44 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.
Starting point is 00:51:53 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.
Starting point is 00:52:10 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.
Starting point is 00:52:30 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.
Starting point is 00:52:39 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.
Starting point is 00:52:56 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.
Starting point is 00:53:10 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
Starting point is 00:53:46 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,
Starting point is 00:54:25 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?
Starting point is 00:54:43 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...
Starting point is 00:54:57 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.
Starting point is 00:55:25 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.
Starting point is 00:55:44 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.
Starting point is 00:56:07 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
Starting point is 00:56:32 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?
Starting point is 00:56:51 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.
Starting point is 00:57:06 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.
Starting point is 00:57:39 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
Starting point is 00:58:08 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.
Starting point is 00:58:36 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
Starting point is 00:58:48 what is happening right now I retweeted the Brady Brady I was like come on here dude no I know and like the Celtics
Starting point is 00:58:57 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
Starting point is 00:59:07 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
Starting point is 00:59:29 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
Starting point is 00:59:35 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.
Starting point is 00:59:40 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.
Starting point is 00:59:52 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.
Starting point is 01:00:08 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.
Starting point is 01:00:20 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.
Starting point is 01:00:29 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
Starting point is 01:00:46 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
Starting point is 01:00:55 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
Starting point is 01:01:02 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.
Starting point is 01:01:21 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.
Starting point is 01:01:34 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.
Starting point is 01:01:57 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.
Starting point is 01:02:21 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 –
Starting point is 01:02:36 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.
Starting point is 01:02:54 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
Starting point is 01:03:19 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.
Starting point is 01:03:52 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.
Starting point is 01:04:07 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.
Starting point is 01:04:22 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.
Starting point is 01:04:40 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.
Starting point is 01:05:12 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.

Was the coolest thing in the world the Burt thing? It was pretty.
Starting point is 01:06:47 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.
Starting point is 01:06:58 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.
Starting point is 01:07:26 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.
Starting point is 01:07:35 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.
Starting point is 01:07:49 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,
Starting point is 01:08:01 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
Starting point is 01:08:32 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.
Starting point is 01:09:07 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,
Starting point is 01:09:27 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.
Starting point is 01:09:40 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
Starting point is 01:09:50 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
Starting point is 01:09:59 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
Starting point is 01:10:05 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.
Starting point is 01:10:24 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.
Starting point is 01:10:42 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
Starting point is 01:10:59 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.
Starting point is 01:11:27 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.
Starting point is 01:11:41 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.
Starting point is 01:11:57 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.
Starting point is 01:12:28 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
Starting point is 01:12:55 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.
Starting point is 01:13:21 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.
Starting point is 01:13:41 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
Starting point is 01:14:09 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.
Starting point is 01:14:40 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.
Starting point is 01:14:58 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
Starting point is 01:15:10 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
Starting point is 01:15:18 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
Starting point is 01:15:26 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
Starting point is 01:15:35 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
Starting point is 01:15:42 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.
Starting point is 01:15:55 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?
Starting point is 01:16:13 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.
Starting point is 01:16:46 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.
Starting point is 01:17:01 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.
Starting point is 01:17:23 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?
Starting point is 01:17:39 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.
Starting point is 01:17:55 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.
Starting point is 01:18:10 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.
Starting point is 01:18:32 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
Starting point is 01:18:56 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
Starting point is 01:19:37 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.
Starting point is 01:20:12 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 –
Starting point is 01:20:24 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 –
Starting point is 01:20:35 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.
Starting point is 01:20:45 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
Starting point is 01:20:52 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,
Starting point is 01:20:57 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
Starting point is 01:21:13 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
Starting point is 01:21:38 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.
Starting point is 01:21:55 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.
Starting point is 01:22:15 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.
Starting point is 01:22:27 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.
Starting point is 01:22:44 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.
Starting point is 01:23:01 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.
Starting point is 01:23:20 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.
Starting point is 01:23:32 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.
Starting point is 01:23:47 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?
Starting point is 01:24:06 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.
Starting point is 01:24:15 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. Thank you, guys. Appreciate it. សូវាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប� Thank you.
