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 such a misconception.
Oh, you're just such... All right.
Welcome on back to another edition of KFC Radio on the Barstool Sports Network.
We got the kids tabling today.
It is myself, Nick Hamilton, Jackie Nichols, Mike Pavinelli.
Vinny, I don't know how to say your last name.
I've been –
DeTrolio.
DeTrolio.
DeTrolio.
Or Don Chance and Colleen Mulhern.
So it's going to be a little bit different of an episode today.
We're going to try to get through it.
Probably going to cut a lot of shit because it is the first of the month
and Jackie wants to start off with a song.
Bricked up!
Alright.
So for those of you who have not seen,
I don't know how you haven't. I just saw this.
We told Jackie, do not go on Twitter.
We want to tell you the news.
The first time she goes on Twitter in a month,
she goes on, she sees
after a long, long
tragic stay away from Barstool Sports,
Mincy is kind of back.
He's been hired by Dave.
He's the first and only employee of the Brick Watch Company,
which I would assume Dave was the first employee.
Who do you think is the second hire?
After this, probably Jackie.
Yeah, with the wait until the first of the month's over
wait so was he like a salesman for i am you know that's what he said in the tweet
that he's a salesman i mean the video was perfect the brick watch was hanging off his wrist
dangling like you could fit a whole nother hand in there yeah yeah that's that's why we did it as
well uh it winds upside down too i don't even know how to wear a watch.
I don't deserve to wear a watch.
But if you did wear a watch, you would wear a brick watch.
I would wear a brick watch.
Correct.
Wait, so.
Check the ads.
Yeah, brick watch.
Yeah, brick.
So is he, like, do we know anything else other than just like he's tired?
No, nothing other than the video.
I'm going to guess he's going to do the exact same thing he did or if he arguably did not do
and just go around the country to things and just wear brick watches.
In a weird way, it's kind of a promotion.
Wait, I thought he won that job.
I honestly think he's now a brand ambassador.
Yeah, he kind of got a promotion.
He's head of sales of a company.
He's not that before.
He got promoted.
Should I say that?
Okay.
We're all hot.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not live, though though so we could cut it if you wanted yeah yeah no just take a shot just a blank cut here no matter what
i gotta be honest i didn't plan further past this for the episode and i'm
yes so as you guys know i'm moving out of my apartment today.
And for the second time, this is my second move ever.
And every time I move, I'm reminded how much not of an adult I am.
Like for the rest of my life, my mom is going to always have to do everything for me.
She's going to have to book me doctor's appointments.
She's going to have to help me move.
She's going to have to read my leases, everything.
I have no clue what i'm doing
and so i got to my place last night no lights nothing works the toilets don't work the shower
doesn't work and it's just an absolute disaster so wait at your new place my new place yeah so
we have a whole week pretty much until they're like when you say no lights like no electricity
like like there's like the light some of the lights don't turn on. Oh my God. Wait, but like
do you just need to change a light bulb?
Possibly.
Once again, I need my mom.
That's what I was wondering.
But like I'm just stressing so much.
I'm trying to be a big boy
and I'm trying to get this done
without my mom's help
and it's going terribly.
Well, you pulled a cabin
and you got a place that is...
Yeah, it's haunted.
Well, it's just
it's way too good of a price.
I'll be honest.
I've always done what you've done.
I've never really looked at the place.
I went for the apartment that I have now.
I didn't look.
Stefan went and looked at it.
Yeah.
And this was the second time going there.
I walked in.
I went around.
I was like, looks good.
Yeah.
And then upon moving in, I was like, where's the dishwasher?
He's like, what do you mean?
Bro, I didn't even go.
This is my first time.
I signed the lease before even looking at it. I looked three pictures i looked at the uh roof and i was like
that's cool and i signed the lease my first apartment in new york city i i got in the
internship with high haters and uh so with chaps and kate they had me call on the radio and offer
me a room in kate and radio brent's place and i i was just like, yeah, sure. That way I don't have to look at anything.
And it was dirt cheap in Astoria.
It ended up being a really good place,
but it could have been an absolute shithole.
I told Pavs this story about when I moved to my first New York City apartment.
So it was like a co-worker.
We're struggling to find a place.
Hold on. Quick update.
Dave just tweeted,
the new brick watch salesman does not know where to go to sell brick watches.
But now he does.
He needs to get trained.
It's his first.
It's day one.
It's day one.
He's got to get trained.
Give him a break.
God damn it.
Give him a chance.
What a legend.
First apartment I moved into with a coworker.
Couldn't find a place.
We're struggling.
We go into one, and there's a girl looking at it.
She's FaceTiming with her potential roommate, I assume, while she's looking at it and the realtor's there.
She seemed like she was about to get it.
So we ran in, and we were in panic mode.
Small New York City apartment, so you could see everything pretty quickly.
I didn't even look at the bathroom, though.
We're running around.
We just looked at each other like, should we take it?
Should we take it?
Should we take it?
We're like, we'll take it. I looked at even look at the bathroom, though. We're running around. We just looked at each other like, should we take it? Should we take it? Should we take it? We're like, we'll take it.
I looked at it for maybe 30 seconds.
The girl starts crying her eyes out
because she was about to take it,
and we just beat her to it,
and then the realtor goes,
sorry, you got to get out.
This is their apartment now,
and kicked the girl out.
She stood there crying,
and we were both in front of her.
It was the most awkward moment of my life,
just watching a girl rip the apartment right in front of me.
Is that the apartment you just moved out of that was my first apartment like five years ago so yeah like i would love to sit down and talk with some of
these scumbag realtors because the fact like what you probably pay that guy like a month and a half
of rent just yeah they do absolutely absolutely nothing they just open the door for you i have
the guy that sold me this current apartment lives in the apartment building and had still had the balls to just lie to our face and say
construction will be done in two months sorry for the inconvenience it's been three years
it has never stopped i wake up to drilling outside my window every other day and now now they're like
oh we're finally taking the scaffolding down it's kind of the point people are writing on the notes
that they leave like,
fuck you, you're lying.
I'll believe it when it happens.
That's all construction though.
Yeah.
You should know that.
But I was shocked that it was like three and a half years later
it's still up.
It's wild.
That's New York City construction.
And then I see the guy every single day.
I'm like, go fuck yourself.
New York City Realtors,
it's kind of like the same thing as like airlines they can
just do whatever the fuck they want to fuck you and you're just gonna roll over and take it mine
just went up too i'm gonna try to fight it and then uh i'm not allowed to write the email though
because uh mine get to be like pretty rude i just i just started sending fuck off everybody in the company i sent like one well
i really the email that i sent that like has got me a little bit of a bad reputation here uh
was kind of just transcribing kevin i was like all right what he's saying i was like no you don't
worry about i'll send this i'll send this and then i sent it like he's saying. I was like, no, you don't worry about it. I'll send this. I'll send this. And then I sent it. And my manager at the time was like, dude, what the fuck was that?
It's really hard to send an email without sounding rude or really, really uppity and kind of gay.
If you're throwing an exclamation point in an email to another dude, that's crazy.
Because if I don't send that then that's super
mean within the past year and a half here every email we started like hiring new people that
like emails before were subject line yeah like it was usually loud chomping like what the fuck
is this and then i would be terrified and like to come into work. But now every email starts off with a joke.
And I'm always like, what a beautiful day it is.
And I'm just like, we don't need to do this.
Like, I know you're a nice person.
Just tell me what you need.
Like, just get to it.
But now that I've kind of shifted to start doing that now because.
Yeah, you did send a very nice thank you to everybody after the machine shoot.
Yeah, I did do that.
I'm still in line with explanation points.
Tons of puns in it too.
Did I have a bunch of puns?
No, I'm kidding.
Dude, that's still one of my favorite – like it's still pretty awkward with –
the girl who wrote the invitation that John
ripped on the podcast, I work
with a lot. We all work with her
pretty often. And every now and then
she's like, I don't know, maybe I'll get to that.
I'm like,
I didn't say it. I thought it was funny.
I can see
why she'd be a little pissed.
In a more corporate
place to work, that is like an an a plus fucking email like that's like
oh yeah that's a gold star email but here you just put get put in a podcast and get absolutely
torched i felt really bad i noticed that no one really posted photos from that
there was a full mini golf course upstairs and it was pretty sick like and like when i was walking
on i was like this is fucking cool but we're not invited anymore. The book is now offering a $1,000 bonus for all new players.

It is the, not quite the dog days of summer, but it is the dog days of sports fandom.
Summer's just starting.
Not much left.
However, before that starts, we do have an NBAba finals and stanley cup final to worry about
okay if you ask me i'm riding with maddie kachuk riding with goalie bob and um in the nba finals
i don't really know i guess yeah i guess i'm rooting for joker i like butler too
that was what really sucks about the sports left right now.
I like Bruce Cassidy.
I like Matthew Kachuk.
I like Joker.
I like Jimmy Butler.
I want everyone to win.
I am a guy wearing Rob Lowe.
He's got the logo hat on.
I'm here for everybody.
I want everyone to have fun.
Not a good betting advice, by the way. Don't bet on everybody. That's why everyone have fun. Not a good betting advice, by the way.
Don't bet on everybody.
That won't work out well.

Gambling problem? Call 1-800 gambler but yeah as it's got more corporate here like it's it's more corporate but it's fucking not it's still it's not ridiculous
as the most recent person in the corporate world i could say it's not yeah i was in finance before
this oh that's right yeah i still don't understand. I'll tell you that. Yep. I forgot about that.
Me too.
I still don't understand what that means.
I don't either.
I was just faking it the whole time.
It was tough.
That's whenever Kevin just starts talking.
He talks about Excel sheets, and I'm like, I don't know what that – how does that finance at all?
Yeah, but now it's just there's smart people who make everything for you, and you just hit buttons, and everything does itself.
Everyone just codes shit now.
The internship that I had right before this was the probable exact opposite of Barstool.
I was working for this company called Sprinkled with Pink.
And it was – You've had so many jobs.
I've had so many jobs.
You've worked here for a long time.
I know.
I need to find – because I remember you bringing that up in your interview.
And I had recorded our interview.
I told you I was recording it because I was trying to send it to BC at the time to be like, what do you think about this hire?
And then I don't think you ever watch it.
And it's on Dropbox somewhere.
You recorded an interview?
You recorded my interview?
Yeah, I told you.
Oh, that's right.
No, no, no.
That's right.
You sent it to the recording.
I was like, just say, no, I'm going to record this because I'm going to send it to my higher ups. I never watched it. I was probably like, hi. Yeah, I told you in the beginning. No, no, that's right. You didn't send it to the recording. I was like, just so you know, I'm going to record this because I'm going to send it to my higher ups.
I never want to see that.
I was probably like, hi.
Yeah, no, I definitely need to dig that up and add 200,000 subscribers and release it.
You didn't record mine, right?
No, I didn't.
Ours was aggressively short.
It was like 10 minutes.
I was like, I didn't get that.
That's because – no, no. I had stacked yours up.
I had like six on that day.
So I was doing like 15-minute enrolls of that just from like a room upstairs, I think.
Sprinkle with pink.
It was just like all the captions.
Like I would come up with the captions for the post.
It would be like – like I can't – it was – so it's like bachelorette party stuff.
And it's exactly what you think.
Like I'll put it in photos.
But it's like hats off to the grads. with style celebrate in style with your trendy trucker hats
like it was all that and that's what i was coming up with this is all you right here
no this one wasn't me but like i would have come up you're doing what marketing social
what marketing social or you know i was like social i was just coming up with captions
and i wasn't getting paid for it but but then you guys saved me from it, and then I quit on the day, and they were not happy.
Really?
Yeah.
I always had some dumb thought that, like, it is always nice to always put in two weeks where you can.
But some places I don't think always need that.
Subway didn't need that.
When I fell out of college, I worked in a subway inside of a Walmart, which is like the saddest thing you could do.
And like I one time ended up working like a triple shift because some girl went, can you cover this like day off?
She's like, I have my prom later.
And I was just like, yeah, fucking.
All right.
And I had to like cancel plans with my buddies.
I'm like this girl, she had a prom.
I'm like, I don't fucking know, man.
It was dark.
But I still gave a two-weeks notice there, which was not that bad.
You kind of need your own like behind the block.
Yeah, that's so true.
The amount of lives that you lived before this.
It's been a weird – it's been a weird road.
Ten years ago, where was I?
You were a clown. What? Not actually. Not actually. No, I a weird 10 years ago. You were a clown.
What? Not actually.
No, I tried out for the circus.
That's sick. Doing what?
I was not a clown.
Doing what?
At Illinois State,
there's a collegiate circus.
There's two of them. There's one there. There's one
at FSU. I think over
the past 10 years, more popped up.
If I'm being honest.
I feel like it probably sucks.
No, it's an acrobatic circus.
So it's, like, people doing wall trampoline and Russian wheel.
And, like, they have a bunch of trapeze acts and stuff.
If you know the guy that does halftime acts with his dog Scooby, um i think he's shaggy no uh his name i think is christian
stoinev but like uh roan has done like a little mini series on him and he like does this thing
where like he's doing acrobatics his dog is like jumping on his back and like shooting shots it's
crazy yeah he was in it at that time and he was like it was funny everyone's
like oh that's christian he's like a fourth generation circus performer the dog is fifth
generation i'm like i'm like fucking what dude like it made no sense but i was trying to do
wall trampoline and uh russian wheel which russian wheel is a giant hamster wheel you get in right
and like roll around like the vitruvian. But have you done that before?
No, no.
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
In high school I did – and I want to be clear.
I made it a couple weeks in that.
But like – because it honestly was, one, the hardest workout I've ever done because like just the amount of core that you have to do for it.
Wait, wait.
But you from nothing for a few weeks were in a Russian – to do for it. Wait, wait, but you, from nothing, for a few weeks, were in a Russian wheel thing.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, they let you get in it pretty quick.
They probably shouldn't.
But I was trying to do one thing.
You take two people on it, and you're essentially counterweighting each other,
so you could go around in circles and stuff.
And then the kid I was with left his arm out and got it ran over by it and he ended up
like breaking his wrist um but were you trying out or were you just in i was signing up i was
trying out i think actually uh i showed up on a day where they were doing some cuts and then i
just stayed and they were just like all right welcome and i was like sick well i'm sick um
but yeah i was trying to do wall trampling, which is terrifying.
You're just falling into the trampling and you just have to get over the fear that you're like plummeting to your death and like know that a trampling is going to catch you.
The people that could do it are so goddamn impressive.
They're like doing flips off the wall.
Yeah, and they get up to like the ledge and stuff.
Yeah.
So people were like doing that and I'm like, I hardly made it like 10 feet up and I was just freaking out.
So you have to like weirdly kick off the wall to like give yourself driving force.
And like I just couldn't – like my instincts took over and I was like trying to catch myself.
And they're like, no, you need to ball up and like – yeah, it was wild.
I did a trapeze class one time and he said that I was a natural.
So if this doesn't work out and then brick watches doesn't work out.
Circus?
Circus.
Yeah.
I did a trapeze class in Brooklyn, and it's on video on YouTube if people could find it.
But it was me doing a trapeze thing.
It's pretty funny.
I don't even know what that is.
It's like, dude, it's hard.
You're like hanging upside down.
I did like silks.
You climb up on a silk rope thing, and then you're hanging upside down on like wood. I did like silks. You like climb up on like a silk rope thing.
And then you're like hanging upside down on a wood thing.
It hurts your fucking calves.
It's hard.
That sounds no fun.
Yeah, but look up circus maybe.
Yeah, that.
The circus.
Oh my God, that's really the first one.
Oh, there's a video under his own YouTube.
Don't buy him.
But we're talking about it.
Is this copyright free music?
Yes.
Oh, sick.
That's what I was doing.
This is awesome.
That sums it up.
But yeah, that's what I was doing.
Yeah, that's...
It's hard.
It's not easy.
One of the...
It looks like a stripper.
Yeah, it kind of is.
Because it's also the guy I did it with.
He's kind of like...
He's like basically naked.
He's like in a Speedo doing it.
So it is kind of like...
It's a pretty slutty thing.
It was a very slutty thing for me to do.
It was.
It was very corny.
Mine was with my family, so it was not...
The same thing.
So the one thing that came from that that was one of my –
it was the most awkward moment was I had left the circus by this point.
But there was a kid in it that was a clown,
and he was very passionate about being a clown.
I mean, I'm not kidding.
Around Illinois State, people are very proud of this.
They fucking unicycle around. People unicy the class it is a whole thing one guy like they were
like we'll unicycle we're not going to leave the clown makeup on when we go outside except for this
one dude that was he was also in a calculus class with me. So we like knew each other by first name. And I had friends visiting.
We were about to go like hop in the car and go somewhere.
I hadn't seen these people.
It was the first time I've seen them since like summer after high school.
And we're all in an elevator going downstairs.
And this fucking guy comes in in the clown makeup.
And they're all like, what the fuck?
And he just goes, hey, Nick.
And I'm like, fuck. I'm like, come on, man. comes in the clown makeup and they're all like what the fuck and he just goes hey nick and i'm
like come on man like you know you look insane you don't need to rope me into this and yeah
why is the clown talking to me right they all just looked at me they're like what the fuck was that
and like still to this day are like where's the clown guy? God damn it. That's really funny. But yeah, no, that was one of the many weird things I did.
You also very casually drop, like, that you're an extra in so many things.
Yeah.
You'll relate to a story, but like, yes, I was an extra in blah, blah, blah.
Yeah, I think I dropped that too much, to be honest.
Like, for a year after I fully fell out of school, so when I was like 24 or 25, I just spent the year just doing extra work in Chicago.
And it was really easy to get into it just through Facebook groups.
So you just like sign up on there and then like Chicago PD, anything that filmed within that time a couple movies and stuff but I
did it for a full year and like really tried to I was trying to do it to get my foot in the door
like behind the scenes like to do essentially what I'm doing now and then that whole time was
like teach like background work is the easiest work like you just fake talk like you just say
like pineapple apple like without actually saying it and then
you sit there and wait for hours a lot of people try to use that time to like schmooze and like
talk and like you get people that are trying to be so serious about being extras people had reels
that's crazy just reels of them in the background where i'm like they're like hey check out my reel i'm like you don't say like what are you talking about dude like uh i think of like d in uh yeah it
was like that but like people taking it like very seriously even now i still get
like i still have friends with on facebook that are like the background actors from them being
like posting the still shot of them in the back. But they never graduate from that?
Like they just stay background?
They just stay there.
And there's some companies that always come around and swindle.
Nine Nine is a massive one that they're pieces of shit who will be like, if you pay us, we'll be your representation.
And that's not how representation works.
Like absolutely not.
And so like they just get all these – like it's a lot of old people being
like oh my gosh i'm being like discovered thinking they're like getting their dream and
these assholes are just taking like hundreds of dollars from them every month but um yeah i did
that for like a year or so and then ended up during that time teaching myself like basics
of editing enough to like get the attention of and stuff, so it kind of blended into this.
You do need a behind the block.
I was learning a lot.
I feel like it's turning into it.
When we drove to Boston, I was learning so much I didn't know about Nick.
We were just talking. I didn't know any of the shit
he was telling me.
It's been weird. I'm very happy where I'm at now.
I don't know how the fuck it happened.
We should do a homecoming.
Go back to Chicago.
Join the circus.
We got to go back to Iowa City.
That's my fucking...
That's where all the shit happened.
Turo is the industry-leading car-sharing marketplace.
Forget the old boring shit.
I don't know if you've ever gone through the process of renting a car.
It is an absolute nightmare.
An absolute nightmare.
Turo is changing that.
They have every kind of car you could imagine.
You can get an SUV, take a little road trip to Vegas.
Sure, why not?
You can get a nice little coupe.
You can get a sedan.
Get whatever you want.
We can take a nice little trip upstate.
Start the summer, a little trip upstate.
I don't even know what state you live in, but every trip upstate is a nice trip upstate.
I'm trying to say an upstate funny, but I'm not.
I'm not joking.
I don't joke about Turo.
I don't joke about trips upstate.
Go to Turo.com.
Oh, you can test an EV, too.
I've always wanted to drive an EV.
I haven't driven one.
Every time I get in a car, I go, is this an EV?
Oh, pretty nice stuff.
Now you can drive an EV.
Go to Turo.com.
Again, the world's lead car sharing marketplace.
And pick any kind of car you want.
You can even pick a fun car.
Just look at a special event.
Roll up.
Oh, what's timmy
driving i'm driving car down toro but toro.com and boring rental cars toro.com find your drive
some terms and solutions apply they are backed by liability insurance that's very important
toro.com find your drive speaking of careers i've launched
my tetris career i saw that last night well i heard it because christy was okay i need to block
christy on tiktok please um but it's funny like it comes up on hers then five minutes later came
up on mine yeah which you drop in your phone at the end there i was like i know and it wasn't like
was that intentional no it wasn't intentional i just like dropped it and i was like i know it wasn't like was that intentional no it wasn't intentional i
just like dropped it and i was like i'm not gonna redo that for those who don't know we'll put the
video in here the video isn't like anything i just need to put something out and i need to start the
career i think that it's time that i take my tetris career seriously and it's something i've
been saying from day one i've been saying I'm really good at Tetris
and the people don't believe me I mean it's not that they don't believe me just nobody really
cares but I figured if I could just show the people exactly how good I am then I'll get some respect as a Tetris player. And I think, so this is day one of me trying to beat
my high score, which as you can see is 169, 098. And I'm going to record this journey. Am I going
to lose some followers? Probably. I don't have that many right now, but I would imagine that the 10,000 of you who don't want to watch Tetris content might unfollow.
I don't know if it's only going to be Tetris content, but that is what I want to lean into
right now. And eventually you will find its niche. I think I want to be the Tetris girl of TikTok.
I'm sorry if this audio isn't that good. I'm talking into like this mic
right now because yesterday I was, I was like, well, this is kind of embarrassing to admit. I
was like dancing around my apartment. This is not my best game. Just, I just want that for the
record. I'm not playing the best. I could be playing, but I was, I was kind of like dancing
and singing in my apartment. And then my neighbor who lives downstairs, I guess she just moved in a few weeks ago.
And she comes running or she comes banging on my door.
And she was like, I can hear everything.
She was so dumb with me.
She goes, I can hear everything.
And I was like, she was like, I can hear it when you walk.
I can hear it when you, I can hear it when you i don't know move your furniture
she she was like she was one of those things where she was like i don't know what the fuck
you're doing she was like i can hear it when you cook i can hear when you clean i can hear it when
you talk i can hear your voice every single night she seemed like she was so and it's but the end of it being like you had me like captured with the story of your new neighbor
which is oh my god she's such a fucking bitch this is crazy she like comes up she i she like was um
um what is it yeah well i was seeing this the other day you need to launch your tetris
career because hashtag doesn't rig.
We have power rankings of underrated barstool employees that need more screen time.
Consistently has you first too.
Number one is at jnicks415.
Yeah, I want you guys to know that this is why we're doing this episode.
I'm going to lean into my Tetris career so much that I dropped.
I don't think that's what they were asking for, for screen time.
But you could start there.
No, nobody asked for this.
I know that people –
We need the Friday Night Pints, like that top six.
Like bring it back for a day.
Jackie will be excited to edit that again.
J-Hobie.
I honestly – I think the J-Hobie.
J-Hobie.
He should be number one.
Legend.
I'm a big fan of J-Hobie.
Same.
Same.
Okay.
Well, also, are you a big fan of J-Nyx?
He moved up to second. Yeah, he moved up yeah he moved up that was a big
move he honestly like the fact that he moved up to second is making me sweat a little bit
because now it's like oh i didn't know that you could move up and down
i don't want to move down oh is that just a flex because you've been number one no and i do want
it to be clear that i have maintained my number one spot this entire time. That just means you haven't put out a video.
Yeah, I know.
Well, I bet you, again, once I leave this Tetris thing, I will drop very fucking fast.
I remember when Jack Mack did intern power rankings.
Oh, yeah.
I think I landed on six on there, and it was just Mike KFC.
Dude, that was always the best.
I'm curious if he's going to do that now
because we have the new intern class starting
where this year it's not like
no one's getting a direct intern.
It's like a request board.
I guess it makes more sense.
It was always nice to have someone.
Should we come up with our own power rankings right now?
Barstool?
Just in Barstool?
Just in Barstool.
How about let's do former KFC Radio intern?
Can you rank them, Nick?
Well, you two just tied.
No, we're not accepting that.
Think about who's been here the longest and who is...
Just think about your time and think about...
For a split second, TJ was...
Okay, well, we're out.
So TJ, number one.
Crocs.
TJ was, I think, for a couple weeks,
he did some subtitling for us in the beginning,
but then quickly got pulled into everything he's doing now.
Now I'm just trying to think of the obscure ones.
I'm thinking about doing my favorite kfc radio member of the week and whoever whoever like schmoozes me the most basically
i feel like everything we do turns into like you try to make a competition for
compliments about you yeah yeah that's pretty much what it is just to start this sounds like
a great idea i like it a lot it's not it's not dumb at all
we know who's on last we know who's lucky first i have a quick question actually
when you guys are riding in an uber alone do you ever use the aux like just no no no that's a
serial killer that died with the aux wait like like do Do you plug in your phone to play music? No, that's not.
That's a crazy person move.
Unless they're like, plug in.
Do you want the aux?
But even then, you'd say, no, I'm fine.
By yourself, you're doing that?
Yeah.
It's just you.
But let's say it's sober.
Let's say it's an hour long.
No, I would never do that.
Let's say it's an hour long drive.
You don't have headphones.
Hold on.
You're in an Uber for an hour?
You're in an Uber for an hour.
I still think it's crazy.
They're giving you the, they're like, play your music.
Yeah, but then you're playing it for him.
What if he doesn't like your music and the ride's shitty?
But then don't give me the aux cord.
I don't do music ever anymore.
You guys are still, even when you're drunk, trying to...
Because the whole Bluetooth thing, I feel like killed it.
Trying to set up into someone's phone.
Or into someone's car, you know what I mean?
What if somebody just flew back a USB?
Do people have that?
We're talking about Don Chen's iPhone.
People have... But people have aux cords? you talking about Don Chen's iPhone? People have...
But people have aux cords?
No, not even like just play...
Like here's like the cord plug-in.
Play whatever you'd like.
I'm saying no thank you.
I never even had that offered to me ever anymore.
Ever.
I feel like that died when like cars had aux cords.
I feel like that was when everyone did it.
My biggest question on Ubers is tipping.
You guys tip on Ubers?
I've fallen off on it, honestly.
I was, and then I got made fun of.
It's mainly because when you're doing expenses,
they won't let you expense tips.
They just really missed the boat
the first year that Uber launched
that they didn't do tips,
and now nobody...
It's just crazy how much it costs now.
I mean, maybe that's just a New York City thing,
but like...
Because, yeah, when I was back home,
it was like $12, $13.
That way I'll throw a few on.
But when it ends up being like $75 to go a mile and a half, I'm like, I don't know.
I think you're getting a good portion of that still.
Yeah.
Like maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe I'm going to get attacked for that one.
But, yeah, no, it's – occasionally I do.
It's got to be like somebody that usually usually if
you don't talk like i used to always tip i thought like everyone was tipping and then people stopped
me like no like nobody's and then people start saying they didn't tip it fell off shocked by
that it fell off in the past like year i think i did out of guilt i think a long ride i will
i do most things if it's like a 10 minute ride, you know, probably not.
Wait,
why'd you ask about,
um,
Oxcords?
Because I,
I know somebody that told me that they always do.
Like they took a 40 minute Uber the other day and like played music the whole time.
I was like,
that's fucking,
that's what,
like what music are you playing?
I don't know.
That's crazy.
That's cause like,
I know like,
I,
that's why I always have you play music in the green room.
Like I have like a weird, I like indie folk, like No Cajon, stuff like that,
where I'll just play that and I'm okay with it.
But I'm like that's usually not the vibe everyone wants to go for.
So John always has it the best.
He says he plays the – what playlist is that?
Oh, yeah, I know what you're talking about.
The High Fidelity.
Yeah, High Fidelity playlist.
I got a quick little take on playing music for groups of people in a car.
I think that if you're playing music for everybody, it's got to be rather really relevant music that's been made in like the past year.
Nothing that's been like two, three years old that's already like played out.
You've heard it a million times.
So it's rather something that's been made in the last year or something that was made
five years ago or further back.
So nothing in that line.
So nothing within the last five years besides the current year.
So you're either playing currently made music or you're playing throwback music.
And it has to be like five years old.
People start saying you're playing techno.
Yeah, I was so offended about that.
I didn't say that on mic.
Very offended about saying I play techno.
That was the most offensive thing of that whole rant.
That he said I play techno.
I would never do that.
What was it?
It was just like R&B.
I got called a techno guy.
I was vibing.
I mean, something I would put on.
But it is a lot.
I didn't want to.
I was trying to turn the music off.
Because I knew I was like, I don't know what everyone likes. And I know I listen to not probably what everyone listens to. So I was trying to turn the music off because i knew i was like i don't know what everyone likes
and i know i listened to like not probably what everyone listens to so i was trying to not play it
yeah and then john kept turning it back on i was like shit like i would say you were hidden around
like 90 of them and then like last like hour home i was like this is getting hot because i ran i ran
out i ran out of my neutral I only could go so far
I have a take and I think that if somebody plays music
you cannot bash the music
because that's somebody's
personality
and Pavs you're the number one
I want to say this
I'll play a song
and you will bash it and it's so offensive
every single time
you cannot bash somebody's music it's not specifically you I'll just play a song and you will bash it and it's so offensive every single time you cannot bash somebody's music
you're not getting number one this week it's not specifically you no you'll i'll just play
something no it's just like women in general no i got a meeting to go to we'll cut that out
this show is brought to you by better help you know when you are out there helping people at
all times when you are being sexually conscious of other people's

hear about taylor swift concert did you go to any of them no i wish that's what it's like the third
time someone's asked you. You've been upset.
My girlfriend started getting really upset about like seeing everyone posting that are like.
She went hipster with it.
She was like.
She's like, I've been here since the Fearless tour.
I've been going to all of them.
And now these people who don't even fucking know where are buying tickets.
Each one driving up all the prices.
I had to let her just go.
It was like a few minutes where I'm just like, mm-hmm.
I was like, you good?
You good?
She's not.
I'm going to have to spend a lot of money on tickets to Taylor Swift.
I want credit because I, like, I mean, like, I probably could have even gotten them but i knew that i i like taylor's hook but i knew that i was
not worthy of getting a ticket because i don't like as i don't i'm not like as diehard as other
people are it's wild seeing like people breaking into tears i mean i think that's a little little
normal at concerts i don't want to like bash on that but like seeing it for songs that i've never
heard where i'm like what like all
these secret songs where like most of the secret songs i'd be like yeah like people are filming
themselves reacting to it and freaking out half the ones i've seen i'd be like oh i don't know
it i don't know what do you mean secret songs so she has the same set list every night but
uh it's genius except there's like two songs
i believe right calling two one to two she'll and she'll she'll bring two that aren't normally in
the set list usually her older stuff she'll only play them once on tour so she plays like it could
be like your favorite song yeah that she's about to play because she has her set set list then
she'll play a secret song okay and then once that's played she won't play it again on the tour so people have like spreadsheets like
knocking off and trying to guess your song but if she does mess it up she can replay it again
got it okay i wasn't sure because i know she has played i've heard she's played something
gorgeous i think so yeah once or twice right yeah so i've heard that but
they're saying like unreleased music i was like that's great no no i think she did just drop like
an extended song last week right yeah yeah well she did she did a new song and then she also did
a remake of one of her songs with ice spice got it i did see that people were that was awkward
you watch when they were on stage together they did not know what to do i only saw this it was crazy even the still frame like i spice but did not know she
should shake her ass or not didn't know how to walk around on the stage and taylor swift like
couldn't if she wanted to probably it was really awkward that's unreal i saw i saw a funny clip of
it they did not know what to do it was very awkward who's the biggest asshole yesterday
so i had a buddy who got engaged last week it was – I got to go there and take photos for it.
It was actually very funny because he did it in the middle of a New York City street.
Him and his girlfriend – like his girlfriend has lived here 10 years.
She loves New York City.
So like getting the architecture in was just awesome for it.
It also was where Will Smith proposes at the end of Hitch.
So it was in front of –
Was that intentional?
Yes, it was intentional.
Did she love that movie?
Yeah, and I guess, like, the week before they had been watching it,
and she was, like, quoting verbatim, like, the final scene.
So, like, he went and found that treat and did it there.
But also I just need to say while he did it,
he could not have been more awkward doing it.
So I'm hiding in the
spot with my girlfriend we both have cameras ready to go and like take photos and for some reason he
crossed to the side of the street we were on which is just like a little too far so that way he has
to backtrack and pull her back into the street and while he's trying to do that he just keeps
fucking it up like he's trying to casually be like let's walk in the middle of the street so he's like come look
at the sunset right now and she's like what the fuck are you talking about like so i have photos
of him just like in the middle of the street just like uh by himself and she's just walking away and
he finally had to come grab her and like pull her out and set her in the street it's it's tough to plan it right i have a lot of buddies who have been proposing and there's
a lot of pressure because it's one time yeah it's like it's really your only thing is the guy because
once that's over the woman's usually the one in charge of the wedding and everything and you're
just yes she used to work in bridal like she has plans so that's his only thing like you don't want
to screw that up so there's a lot of pressure i get and it is all my friends too they'll be like
the first time they ever want to go on a walk in Central Park every time is always when they're doing the proposal and stuff like that.
Yeah, that's what he honestly – like that Sunday was in Central Park with her.
And she posted a photo where she was like reading – she had like her notebook of like things I want to do before I leave New York.
And her fingers were in it.
But then it cut off right before.
And I was like, did you do it?
Did you do it?
And then on Monday, he's like, get your camera.
But yeah, that aside, he had a question for us.
Am I the asshole if I go to a wedding and I get engaged three days before it?
So it was a, he said, it's a B-level friend.
I know probably seven, eight people at the wedding.
I'm close – I can confirm he is close with like three of those people, like very close.
But is it an asshole move to like show up and everyone be talking about like you just got engaged?
So did he go to this – he already went to this wedding, right?
He went to the wedding.
I might pull him in to ask
I was going to say
has he had an update
or anything like that
I think
no
if it's like
the friend that he was
talking about
like does not seem like
he said be love a friend
and then he said he knew six people
and I was like
I think I can name all six of them
because like
I'd be pissed
no I'd be pissed
if somebody came to my wedding
and they were like
we just got engaged
and everyone was talking about
their fucking engagement.
No, I can't do that.
You think everyone would talk about it though?
What?
I think as long as you're not in the wedding, it's okay.
He wasn't in the wedding.
He was at the bachelor party though.
So he was close enough to get invited to that.
No, if there were any rumblings of another marriage at my wedding.
But there's so many engaged couples at weddings. No, if there were any rumblings of another marriage at my wedding.
But there's so many engaged couples at weddings.
You know, like you go to like half the wedding, people are engaged.
Like, I don't know.
Then just go to their fucking wedding.
I don't know.
Nothing trumps the wedding.
Like a wedding is way bigger than a proposal.
You can't do it there, obviously.
We all obviously agree with that.
Has that ever happened? You think somebody. I'm sure agree with that. Yeah. Oh, no. That'd be so funny.
Has that ever happened?
You think somebody-
I'm sure it's happened, yeah.
Proposes at a wedding?
Yeah.
I'm sure.
I, like, definitely been in cases of that.
Yeah.
Or people announcing, like, a pregnancy at a wedding.
Oh, my God.
That's worse than proposing.
I gotta be honest.
I feel like that's probably happened to my family.
If I, like, really thought about it, I'm sure there's someone.
Like, I have a very large extended family family and that's some shit that would go on
i could see how that's like okay families all together like you want to tell everybody
i don't know though i think that's worse than proposing i think i think like yeah because you
can wait till after and wait till after the ceremony. Well, actually, no, because everyone's going to be drinking.
So it's pretty obvious.
You have to.
Oh, yeah, true.
Yeah, but people are dumb.
Like my buddy, his wife got pregnant with their second child, and she wasn't drinking, and I was too stupid to even notice in a small setting.
So you could get away with that, and nobody would notice.
You also could probably be subtle about it and just get a soda with a yeah like a lime on it people could not notice that for sure yeah definitely that's yeah so
yeah i don't think in this situation i don't think he's an asshole because the fact he only
knew six people like only six people are going to be like excited about it yeah no one else
but if in you i i just asked him to come in. He said he's available in 20 minutes, which is when I have to step out.
We're going to get him in here and talk about this, though, because I do need I need to know if he made a big.
So like because when he got engaged, we went to a restaurant right after and I was being the biggest asshole on the planet because I just kept going.
They just got engaged engaged like trying to get
free shit out of the fancy place yeah because one i'm also doing that everywhere i go with them for
the next three months till they move to chicago uh absolutely did you get free stuff uh no he was
so pissed he called ahead said i'm getting engaged right before this can you please like have some
stuff ready at the table?
And they were like, yeah, we got you.
No problem.
Thinking, like, even he's like, I don't even want, like, I wasn't asking them to comp something.
I wanted champagne there.
Ready.
Like, let's do a toast.
We got there.
We sat down.
They, like, ignored us for a while.
It was, he was, he was starting to get, like, real mad.
And I was like, Lisa like lisa wave oh my god
i i so i started being obnoxious about it but um can't bad service yeah no they oh at the very end
when they brought the check they gave us chocolate mousse which i'm like that's like a topping to
your other thing like that's a that's a really lame like it was like with the receipt it was like
it was in the thing with the check like it's just right on top of it it was just like a little bowl
of chocolate mousse and i was like all right and like uh he i i wouldn't i picked up the bill for
that one because i was like we're celebrating and he was like let me see the receipt he's like
if they charge us for that chocolate mousse i swear swear to God. I was like, no, no, I'm not letting you look at it.
And I still haven't looked.
We might have paid for the chocolate mousse, if I'm being honest.
But it was –
Can't have bad service at a restaurant.
I'm okay if there's an issue with the food.
I'll never complain because that happens.
Service, I think, you can't really have an excuse for it.
That's what we were asking this.
Would you rather have – and you just answered it but
good service, bad food, bad service, good
food. Good service, bad food. 100%.
I was just reminiscing on this.
I'm like such a
pushover at all times in my life
but for some reason I was like 12 and I was out
to dinner with like my soccer team
and the waitress like puts down
the food and I just go, this is not
what I ordered and I like stood up and I the food and i just go this is not what i ordered i like stood
up and i was like and i literally like had like an out-of-body experience i just look up and
everyone's looking at me and i was like i'm so sorry how old i don't know i was 12 i was like
this 12 years old this is not what i ordered and i was like i don't i'm so sorry and she was like
she like immediately took it back and i was like i'm'm so sorry. It's fine. It was not what I ordered, for the record.
What kind of restaurant was it?
Was it like –
It was like a normal – it was not very nice.
I was going to say, when you're going out with the soccer team,
you're going to McDonald's or Culver's or something.
TGI Fridays.
Yeah, it was –
That would be like the fanciest, to take a bunch of 12-year-old girls
to one place and try to corral them.
It was – I i mean it wasn't
like it was in between but it was just so and i cringe thinking about that so much like why did
i do that that dude making 725 was like i'm fucking done you got him to quit that day
i have a cousin who notoriously like she'll get if her food gets messed up she'll just bitch about
it like she'll be like mean about
it yeah and her food always gets messed up so like there's like a big group it's always her
it's like bad juju like yeah she just brings it on herself she always has her order fucked up
every time i've worked in a couple restaurants which i also bring up way too fucking much um
but anytime someone has complained i haven't really really cared. It's one of those things.
They don't give a shit.
They're more apologetic and like, oh, I fucked this up.
If you're blatantly wrong about something, I have cared about that.
Where I once made a burger.
Well, they asked for a well done.
Made a well done.
They were like, this is raw.
I'm like, cut into it.
I'm like, that's well done.
Like, it just has juices in it.
Like, what are you? I'm like, that's. They're asking for a burger well done too yeah i mean that's the first problem iowa baby that's
what the first restaurant i worked at you didn't have the option it came out well done every single
time people were asking for medium i like ended up being like a waiter door guy fucking i did
everything in that place and i started just being honest to customers and we definitely lost some people because they're like can i get a medium burger i was like
you could ask for it it's just it's gonna be a salted thing they might drop it in au jus
it's been sitting out a while i love when the waiter's honest with me though yeah i love when
they ask for an opinion of a waiter and they give you like their true yeah i told them they're like
how's the steak and the salmon i I was like, it comes dry sealed.
I wouldn't get it.
It's really bad.
I mean, that might be too much.
That's a little too much honesty probably.
That's usually bad honesty.
Because they're sitting down.
These motherfuckers abused people there.
They made me a shell of a person.
I am very okay just letting it fly on them.
But yeah, they had it coming. It was a
bullshit item. They didn't teach any of the cooks
how to actually prepare it
and then we're just going to give it to people?
I was like, no, fuck that. I was like, get the chicken,
get the burger. Don't fucking trust
anything else. Pabs, would you rather have
good service with bad food or
bad service with good food? Bad service with good
food, for sure. Really?
He's Italian.
You never get it, though.
You're sitting there.
You're like, I'm so hungry.
You're not getting your food.
That's a nightmare.
You would have to put a gun to my head for me to ask to send something back,
so maybe good service.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I won't send something back.
I'll just deal with it.
I would sit there for an hour and a half and just wait.
I have done that. Oh, yeah. I won't send something back. I'll just deal with it. I would sit there for an hour and a half and just wait. I have done that.
Oh, yeah.
I get so upset.
The Italian rage comes out.
If I have to wait more than 20 minutes, yeah.
I can't handle that.
I got a small percentage of Italian in me.
I'm going to start saying it's my Italian rage.
Yeah, because it's real.
Trust me.
It comes out really easily.
Kevin and Fights are going to be like what the fuck do you guys talk about now's the time
to get it off
because once they're back
I can't bring it up
anymore
pro Italian podcast
or just a neutral one
did you become my boss
yes
and you're fired
get out
and you know that
org chart that we saw
a couple months ago
that me and you
were like this
no it was me here
you here
it was me here, you here.
It was me here, you here.
Those rankings are about to change.
It's honestly like I can't.
You're above me at this point.
I can't even. I don't think so.
You need to start being confident in yourself.
I know.
Fuck's sake.
It's crazy.
I talked to him about that on the way to Boston.
Yeah, we talked about that.
I was like, we got to make Jackie just confident.
Yeah, we had a little discussion.
Jackie was trying to show me stuff. And everything she was telling me, she just had no confidence
in herself.
I'm like, she's like, I'm doing it.
I'm like, no, you're fine.
Yeah, I know, I know.
Everything she did was fine.
We both need to work on speaking up.
I think they were really bad at that.
You really need to work on speaking up.
I was just going to let my homeless man take my stuff the other day.
Like, straight up.
When I was moving in, when i was moving in when i was moving
into my apartment i like left like my um i like that you called them your homeless man
my homeless man it's the first of them when i was moving into my apartment i i just left like a um
box of clothes out there and like i walked in 10 seconds later walked out a homeless guy was

Be done with it. It's easy peasy.
Alright, let's
wrap up with some voicemails here.
Hi guys. So,
you know, long time listener here. I'm still waiting for
you to come to New Orleans. I don't know where these New Orleans shows are. I know you made it to Texas, you guys. So, you know, long-time listener here. I'm still waiting for y'all to come to New Orleans.
I don't know where these New Orleans shows are.
I know y'all made it to Texas, to Dallas.
But New Orleans, come on, guys.
Y'all know you have to come to our city.
But anyways, my question is, when is Matt Rife coming on the show?
I saw your little video on Instagram.
You're hyping him up.
So where's the interview?
When is it?
That is my question.
Jackie's been asking about that a lot.
I'm going to make her sit outside.
I mean, I could tell you,
I think we were supposed to get him at the end of last year,
and we just had a scheduling conflict,
so we couldn't squeeze it in.
But we've definitely been in talks with him.
It's just a matter of him coming to New York or us being where he is.
Where does he live?
When we're traveling.
I think he's LA.
What's his address?
Yeah.
So are we in his DMs on KFC Radio?
Can I?
I have a little crush on Matt Rice.
We talked about once every quarter, Jackie has to conduct an interview.
And it's always just going to be with a hot dude.
I think that might be the first one.
That would be a good one.
That would be a good one to start off with.
At the very least, you have to do the first tenets of the interview by yourself.
Welcome him into the door.
No one's in the room.
Sit down.
No one's in the room.
It's just Jackie.
Just awkwardly no one's in here.
They're all in a meeting.
They'll be back soon.
You guys know. I mean, usually I have a way with words and I am very smooth normally.
What's your highest Tetris score?
Who the fuck is this talking to me right now?
Just gets absolutely hammered.
No, he's going to be like, are you the Tetris girl on TikTok?
I can't wait till I get you live streaming Tetris on TikTok.
That's my goal.
Oh, my God, you guys.
I'm like so serious about this Tetris thing.
Just making that your whole brand.
It's not going to be my whole brand.
I have other things which I've talked about.
I have other ideas.
Oh, yeah.
Hold on.
Yeah.
I wanted to get into that.
Well, I don't think that I can go into it.
Okay.
Cottage cheese. Okay. Well, then if you're that I can go into it. Okay. Cottage cheese?
Okay.
Well, then if you're going to...
You guys know how cottage cheese is on the come up?
Well, cottage cheese is having a moment right now.
The same way that Brussels sprouts had a moment, the same way that cauliflower had a moment,
the same way that almond milk had a moment.
And it's like, who was doing the PR for these things?
Which led me to an idea that it's like a TikTok and it's something
I haven't fully flushed it out.
So just stand by.
That's why we're doing this.
We'll figure it out.
But it's something about like cauliflower and Brussels sprouts and almond milk being
like, like you like jealous of cottage cheese having the moment and something about like
the PR agent for cottage. Do you guys know where i'm going with
this i see that i think it's gonna get once i do that it's gonna get like millions of views
and i know that so that's gonna be other than tetris i'm gonna do that tiktok and then was
that still gonna be on your own account or are you starting a separate cottage cheese account
no no no that's just gonna be one maybe two because i also then i'm like then i'm gonna do
a follow-up and being like because i would i'm expecting some people being like what do you mean cod cheese is having a
moment i'm gonna show you guys the cod cheese recipes i'm gonna do them myself lean into the
cod cheese thing a little bit lean in the tetris thing a little bit and then i have a third idea
and it's bodega fits and that bodega fits is a great idea. I've actually, like I've already started like taking videos
of all my,
like because when I,
when I go to the bodega,
I just grab whatever's nearest.
Like I throw on like whatever
and I look ridiculous every time
because it's right below me
and so I'm just going to do
a picture of all my bodega fits
and it's going to be
a little compilation.
I actually,
I think that actually
has a lot of legs to it.
I think it has a lot of legs to it.
because like there's,
there's a lot of bodega insurams, and I don't know if I've seen
BodegaFits on it yet.
I know.
And BodegaFits, wouldn't that be such a cool merch thing?
You should, one, try to scoop that handle up now.
BodegaFits?
Yeah.
I was going to say that.
You should.
Otherwise, people submit their own BodegaFits.
KFC Radio 1 Cut's going to drop that or grab that.
Fuck.
Okay.
Don't grab Bodega fits.
What?
Is it already like a wildly successful account?
I will say, no, they're barely following anyone and they don't have any followers.
Bodega fits with a Z.
Oh.
That's not the vision.
Yeah, yeah.
Not the vision.
You clearly don't understand Bodega fits. understand if it's inactive we could get it
but then we have to come with barstool properties and i think i could just maybe i'll just do it
i'll just do it on mine just do it on yours hashtag bodega fits it's not a tiktok though
so get the tiktok get the tiktok build a brand on tiktok and then you can get the TikTok and then build a brand on TikTok and then you can get the
Instagram
or just start a playlist on TikTok of Bodega Fitz
yeah
KFC, Fights, Nick
Pabs, Jackie
obviously
started listening to the show probably like
a year ago, found it randomly
and now it's my favorite podcast
listen every week
so thank you guys
for helping me get through my fucking shitty corporate job. But anyway, I'm turning 25
today. And you know, people joke about like a quarter life crisis. You know, when you
see these dads turn like 50, they have a midlife crisis and they go buy like a sports car or some
something crazy like that so my question is uh if you guys could go back to being like 25
um you know what's like your quarter life crisis purchase you know something maybe you would have
done in your 20s something you didn't do um maybe a trip that you took with the boys. That was incredible.
I'm trying to celebrate turning 25 and I
figured I'd ask you guys.
So is he saying go back and
like
go back and relive something or go back
and like change something? Let's go back and
change something. Go back and do something.
What would you do for your
quarter life crisis? What would you buy?
Did you do anything?
Probably nice clothes.
I dressed like shit back then.
I'm still not great, but I'm doing better.
Quit your job now and get a better job that you like,
because as you get older, it gets harder.
So if you're 25, that's what I would say,
if you don't like it,
because it sounded like you didn't like it.
Finance?
Brick watches. Brick watches.
Brick watches.
Second employee.
It'd be so funny if you guys applied.
That would be, like, you think I could make a little side hustle?
You could be Mintzy's intern.
Well, you sold, like, knives, right?
I did sell knives.
You did the cut cut. I've done so many jobs.
This is crazy.
She got this job when she was what, 21 still?
Not even? You were 20.
Those are really
highly priced but made really cheaply, right?
No.
Cutco knives
was the
best materials that knives has to
offer and you think that Herschel, most of the time Knives was the best materials that Knives has to offer.
And you think that Herschel, most of the time what you get with Herschel is the U.S. version, not the German version.
And it's such a misconception.
Oh, you're just such.
These knives, straight up, I still have them today.
And they still, they haven't needed sharpening for 10 years dude 10 fucking years and they also now when i use other knives i literally like first
of all i got another knife and i cut my finger the other day because it doesn't because the blade
on the cutco knife is serrated to the point where it's flat edged where other knives it's serrated
and it's just sharp i can't even
like i i don't want to give the whole i'm not i'm not saying this at all because i need the pineapple
to cut in front of you and i need all the things and i i need to do the penny wait maybe i'll redo
my spiel i'll get the penny and everything like that you should absolutely like try to come in and
sell my i'm that obviously was not a good. It was pretty good.
That was great.
I think Dave made a mistake.
He should have hired you instead of him.
I sold.
And like straight up,
all of their stuff is so good.
I am so actually passionate about Cutco
because it is the best knives.
Every single person who I sold to
said this is the best set of knives.
Anyways.
Nice. That was passion that
was your passion that was like yeah i always loved that when it was like it could cut a penny in half
when would i ever need i'm cutting bread dude you don't know what's gonna happen
does anyone have anything for that guy well i've got i would buy cut cut knives
i don't know i do look love, I actually agree with you
if you hate your job.
Yeah, do it.
The longer you're in it,
the harder it gets
to change careers
as someone who is
in the process of doing it.
Yeah.
So that would be mine.
There's no substitute
for like being passionate
about something.
You're going to find money
if you like chase
what you actually want to do.
Next up.
And book a vacation
with the boys.
Yeah.

You know, being Buffalo's number one photographer and all.
Nice backdrop right now, I know.
Anyways, so I was talking with the boys last week.
Do you think you've jerked off more or less
in your lifetime than LeBron's hit a corner
three in his NBA career? Let me know.
Can't wait to see you guys in Buffalo, November
19th. And if you guys thought the
outro was great last time with the Corey Bruce
photography ending, just
wait for this one. You're welcome.
See you guys later.
I didn't know what to expect.
The cap cut!
The cap cut is perfect.
Unbelievable.
Holy shit.
God damn it.
I mean, that was sick.
Unless LeBron said 1,000 corner threes.
I don't know.
It's not even fucking close.
Yeah.
It's not even fucking close.
Yeah, that's an easy question.
Way better outro we should just have the outro
if we can use the
after every clip
yeah
I don't know what that song is
it's very short so we might be able to get away with it
but that'd be so funny
if this whole episode gets demonetized
because of that
it's worth it.
Because you can do millions, this one.
Oh, yeah.
This is, yeah.
All right.
Thanks for watching.

things good nice and clean i I bet. I'm sure.
Good.
I'm doing well.
Doing well.
I just came back from arts and crafts day with my kids.
I was hoping.
I didn't know if a kid was going to.
Don't be a jobber.
Just do arts and crafts together.
Totally.
I'm capable.
Adults arts and crafts.
Yeah.
Maybe we can use some more of that. I mean, I was for like a month. You smell great. Adults, arts, and crafts. Yeah, maybe we could use some more of that.
I mean, that was for like a month.
You smell great.
Do I?
You do smell nice, yeah.
I just sprayed a little bit
of this,
something my husband had,
but it had the name,
the word rose was in it.
Do you smell,
does it smell like roses?
I don't,
despite the size,
I don't have a good nose.
Like,
I can never smell anything at all.
We could use whatever that is
Maybe we could get some of that for this room
It's definitely a bro room
You know what's weird?
We've tried to not have
I think it's our existence
Despite the fact that
I guess you're a little bro ensemble
I don't think we're particularly bro people
No, you look like an asshole
I look like a professional cricket player
Thank you very much
We get labeled that a lot sometimes we're really not bros really kind of all internet
nerds sitting in a paneled room yeah like whatever this situation nintendo yeah that
doesn't give us the best one we have the mormon shirt behind us right there one time i uh i uh
forgot i like left my luggage in a hotel as we went to a
wedding in florida and i was like all right i'll just pick up some clothes when we get there but
we were cutting it close and the only place on the way from the airport to the venue was like a
walmart in florida and i was like i don't. I'll just get some sort of shitty dress shirt, but it'll be okay.
They only had short sleeves
and they only had these $10
dress shoes.
I looked like that and it was awful.
It was the most embarrassing.
I was like, I'll just keep my jacket on because whatever.
White shirt, just jacket will be fine.
It was outside. It was hot.
I took my jacket off and I knew
it was coming. I was just like,
and the table was like, oh, this guy.
I was like, oh, no, no.
That's hilarious.
Brutal.
Well, here it is.
I don't think it's been ironed since that night.
Yeah.
That's exactly how it looks.
I've got a bone to pick with you.
As I do with all people who do this, you're not allowed to have a podcast.
Sorry.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I just literally just came from recording one.
No, you can't do it because I'm mad at the talented, successful people who then start podcasts because it's for failures like us.
You can't make it in the real world of entertainment.
We do this podcasting thing and then you guys come in and you have incredible talent and amazing connections
and a die-hard fan base and you're gonna make all the money i am here because i heard you guys do a
really great podcast and you know like i feel like if i if i'm here certainly you must get pretty
good talent it is an honor it is an honor you were hoping just as a breakthrough
you got yourself a hell of a resume.
Sure.
I don't know.
It's definitely like – so yeah, I'm starting this podcast.
But it definitely feels like the waters are very full of mini – like I am not the only fish in the sea.
Sure.
And not only – like when you talk about celebrity podcasts, I mean, Jesus, everyone seems to have one.
I was doing some research.
And then there are people who have had multiples.
They'll do a few seasons of one,
and then they do a whole new concept.
What I'd give for that kind of leeway.
The moment I try a new concept on this,
I'm out of a job.
We got something we're just going to hold on to forever.
What is the concept here?
It's loose. We play it loose and fancy. we got something we're just going to what is the concept here I'm doing it it is it's

to be a huge success right away.
As much as I'm joking, it is a little bit
of something where people go like, I could do that.
It's like, yeah, well then do it.
They try, and they're either not good, or they don't
like the fact that you've got to do it every week, or every
day, or whatever your frequency is.
We're launching on the 23rd,
and I have to
do 24 this first season.
And I just sort of feel like Indiana Jones running from the ball.
Yes.
That's a great description.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
We got to keep going.
Keep going.
Keep going.
Keep going.
And yours is going to be like a video based as well or no?
No, no, no.
It's where restaurants.
Because you're breaking bread and eating.
Yeah, we're restaurants.
I'm taking friends to restaurants and just having conversations over different meals.
So it does make it a little more complicated because every time we do a podcast, every time we record one of these, it's a completely different setup.
Like we don't have the yellow couch and the panel walls.
Sure, sure.
Whatever the restaurant has.
Whatever the restaurant has.
So every restaurant is different.
Sometimes we're there during service and there's other people there and we're just tucked away in a corner.
That's cool.
I like that a lot.
It's really great.
I mean I just did one with Jim Parsons today.
We were down at Don Angie's, which is one of my favorite restaurants down in Greenwich Village.
And they don't open until 5, so they opened the doors for us a little early so we could eat.
So we had a very controlled place, atmosphere there.
But as far as doing a video,
you can't,
it just seems to,
one, too many things. Yeah.
Do you work up to it,
that kind of thing,
that there are like,
sometimes,
I don't even know if it's,
I don't even know if they're series
or they're one-offs,
but sometimes when you see someone eating
and it is in a closed-off restaurant,
you're like,
this is bizarre.
It's not how it happens for me.
Also, I mean,
the guests that I've had are already self-conscious about eating with a microphone anywhere near them.
So I was going to ask you that.
If I had a video camera, is that what they're calling them these days?
A camcorder recorder device?
I just feel like, I don't know, it's asking a lot.
If we miss lunch and I take a bite of food on the show, my listeners are always like, stop chewing on my microphone.
So that might be a little bit of a hurdle.
I'm sure you guys can figure that out.
I'm glad you mentioned Greenwich Village because I think I live near you.
Oh, yeah?
I see – we'll bleep out where I say I see you sometimes.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm very close there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We'll bleep that out. Have you always been a New Yorker? I always walk by my other viewers. I'm very close there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll bleep that out.
Have you always been a New Yorker?
I always walk by my sister's house.
I'm here and in L.A.
I was here a lot.
You probably saw me for the past year because I was doing a play on Broadway, so I was here a lot.
But I go back and forth to L.A.
Home base is L.A.
Got it.
Yeah.
Okay.
And where are you originally from?
Albuquerque, New Mexico is where I was raised.
Holy shit. I was born in missoula montana whoa two places you never have heard or don't know
people from yeah yeah i don't think i'll ever meet anybody else from either of those places
ever again congrats that's um well have you had neil patrick harris or freddie prince jr on this
show no we've had freddie oh yeah he's from Albuquerque from what I understand.
We just talked about wrestling the whole time.
I didn't know Freddie brought the wrestling.
I don't even know what wrestling is. He was doing a wrestling podcast.
There it is. He was doing a podcast.
Case in point.
I would love
Neil Patrick Harris too. He'd be great. I think we'd have a good time
with him.
Yeah, so I mean it is
Who else do you have for guests so I mean, it is...
Who else do you have for guests?
I know you said the...
I know you don't want to reveal it.
Well, so far it's been...
It's Julie Bowen.
She's the first episode.
My sister from Modern Family.
And then Jesse Williams,
who I did the play with here in New York.
And then we had Kristen Bell,
Fred Armisen,
and... Some of them names. Yeah, and Nisi Nassif.
That's why you're an asshole.
You know who my first guest was?
My first guest was a guy who was on Nickelodeon Guts when he was 13.
Was it Carl?
It was funny, though.
The three guys on the show, we used to have another host,
and we all remember this one guy from Nickelodeon Guts where he dominated the – like just crushed everybody on the show and we tracked him down somehow.
That was our big first kiss.
Well, listen.
You've got Julie's bow.
He sent us oranges.
Yeah, he did.
I did have an end with Julie.
Yeah.
I guess you got a hookup.
I did time for 11 years for that one.
I feel like she only owed me.
We've had Eric on the show a few times now.
Oh, well, there you go.
I think maybe three times.
He busts our balls every time.
He would fit right into this room.
He's actually never been in this room.
He's been in old studios.
Oh, no, I'm so jealous.
I beat him here before he did.
He tried to ruin goat cheese for the whole world.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He hates goat cheese. cheese for the whole world. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He hates goat cheese.
You know why he hates goat cheese?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, I do.
And he told me that.
Seems like that's Eric's party trick.
You like goat cheese?
I'd like to throw a wrench in that real quick.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I love goat cheese to the point that I was like, I don't care, brother.
You can tell me it smells like whatever.
I'm eating it.
But the rest of the world, I'm sure, was ruined.
I actually, yeah, I thought it was going to ruin it. It made me made me throw up don't get me wrong next time you had goat cheese though you
definitely thought about it which is almost like made me now in my head i'm like my pervert
like what is going on why i'm like seeking out goat cheese i love it hey hey guys guess what I'm eating right now?
Man, I mean, Modern Family was quite a run, dude.
You had a good one there, huh?
I think it is – actually, right now, I go through phases.
I actually wonder, what's your nighttime TV show?
Do you have TV on in bed?
I don't have a TV in my bedroom currently, but I used to uh because my husband he used to he would always fall asleep with the tv on and so like it's very comforting for him so
he would love it if i would watch tv and go to bed and you know with the tv on yeah um i i tend
to watch like i catch up on like snl like i tend to watch like i catch up on things. I do rewatch. Survivor.
Survivor.
So you're kind of like a reality –
I do like reality TV.
I just watched Jury Duty though, which I'm obsessed with.
We had James Marsden and we had Ronald on.
What?
You had Ronald here?
No, I'm Zoom.
But still.
But I mean that to me, that felt like the get of the century for me.
I want to be Ronald so bad.
That guy, I told him, I was like, if you play your cards right, I think you're going to be a megastar.
Because that guy has a likability factor that I don't think I've seen on anybody maybe ever.
Does he want to act?
Like, what does he want to do?
Well, yeah.
He said he's like, you know, he was a little bit vague.
But he was like, we, you know, I'm talking to some representation. Of course he is, yeah, he said he's like – he was a little bit vague, but he was like, we – I'm talking to some representation.
Of course he is, yeah.
Right?
And he just signed a deal with Ryan Reynolds promoting Mint Mobile.
So he was in like a video with him.
Oh, cool.
I don't know if – I'm not sure if we'll see him in like Oscar award-winning movies just yet.
Never know.
Yeah, you really don't.
Never know.
But I could see some sort of hosting or or some sort of
you know reality shows or whatever charming guy tall handsome funny and just like genuine
apparently the most genuinely nice guy of all time truly i haven't gone to the scene yet where
he has to talk to the guy's girlfriend oh yeah i was like we were talking about that i was like
dude i i mean i would do exactly what you did but like the flight but seeing someone because i'm such a pushover okay i'll talk to her sure and i was like, dude, I, I mean, I would do exactly what you did, but like the, like, but seeing someone,
cause I'm such a pushover.
I was like,
yeah,
I'll talk to her.
And I was like,
but seeing someone else go through it was one of the most incredible.
I'll think about that scene forever.
I don't know,
man.
Just,
just call her.
Just call her.
She's like,
we're fucking done or whatever.
I'm fucking this other guy.
And he's like,
what'd she say?
What'd she say?
I don't know,
man.
Yeah.
Just got out of that situation.
He just won every social test that they threw at him.
Yeah.
Totally.
Really did.
And that's why I was like, I don't know if this – I was like, I still think there's
going to be a double trick that you guys were getting played and Ronald was in on it because
who could possibly be this nice?
No.
Yeah, I know.
Because even Marsden, who I love, you you're like i see a little acting coming through i was so impressed with him because i'm i'm someone who desperately needs someone to like me
and to also like respect me and not think poorly of me and he marston was being asked to play this
heightened version of himself not even not just himself of just like actors in general
i was so i'd be like i don't think i would have been brave enough to like
talk about my work and the craft the way that you did yeah oh my god he was so here that someone's
gonna think i'm a fucking douchebag he was the enemy of it like i hope that you know the next uh
the next rom-com that needs the douchebag ex-boyfriend or the villain or whatever like
here's your guy he i i hadn't seen him in
much comedy he's done a little bit he's in 27 dresses yeah um and we all know his credits from
watching jury duty he's made them like nine times he did an episode of modern family which is how
yeah he did yeah yeah yeah what was that we had like this guy who was um he ends up squatting in
like my daughter's princess castle in the backyard.
He performed Reiki on us.
He was a yoga type guy.
I remember
Marzen's wildly handsome.
I've always thought that before.
Then I got to meet him. He's such a cool guy.
The scene I'm shooting with him, he's giving me a massage.
I'm like, well,
the universe is a funny place,
isn't it?
Obviously, everyone knows he's handsome. Then I saw in person i was like get out yeah he's ridiculous i want to be on
camera it's that smile it's like a square yeah what an asshole yeah who was um who was your
favorite i guess guest interaction guest star on guest star on Modern Family? On Modern Family?
Well, I mean, Nathan Lane
is someone who I've just adored for years
and he had a reoccurring role.
And I got to become really,
I was already kind of friendly with him, but
we became a lot closer through that
experience and that's something I really treasure
just having the opportunity to work with him.
Gosh, I mean, we had some we were
really really lucky you got some big there's i don't think you're while while being super
recognized and winning a million awards and being on tv forever and all that i almost think you're
your show's underrated in a way like oh yeah it like it really i don't it really, the Emmys would say that.
To me, it's like right up there with like every other of the great sitcoms.
That's like totally rewatchable and we'll be done.
We will be watched for absolutely all that.
I have met a lot of people who mostly adults who are like,
my children are discovering it for the first time there,
you know,
it's all available now.
So they binge things so quickly. It kind of timeless yeah like they've watched
the whole series in like three weeks and actually that's 250 episodes like that's 12 years of my
life that's 12 years of my life and you've just watched it three days yeah that i mean that's
what i mean and it is something like you know – you can watch that forever.
Every kid can turn that on and relate.
A parent can relate.
It is very much –
Maybe times will change, but that shit always is happening.
That was one of the early shows that we watched as a family.
Yeah.
Because we all – obviously, I grew up with – I have four siblings, three siblings.
And my parents and we would all get together to watch it.
But we all watched our own things.
But that was one everyone was like, yeah, we all love it.
Yeah, it seemed like it had kind of universal appeal for sure.
And it still does.
It is incredibly timeless.
The reason I asked the reason it all started is your night show because I kind of rotate sitcoms and currently Modern Family is mine.
What if I said Modern Family is my sitcom? I'd be like, Jesus Christ. family is my jesus christ i watch it every night i watch it just my scene
i mute it when anyone else is talking
what is your what's your favorite scene from it or not what's your favorite episode um
well i mean i i found the the wedding episodes episodes when Mitch and Cam get married to be very, very profound and meaningful.
Obviously, in that time in our country, we were still fighting for marriage equality.
So it just felt like really – I was like, I can't believe we're putting this story into living rooms across the nation.
And it's going into areas where people are probably not so cool with it and yet
for some reason they love these two guys and they're cool with that like it was like that
trojan horse type thing i was like we're sneaking yeah we gotcha um that it is crazy to like think
how with sitcoms where i was just saying how it's timeless but how there are things that we like
wait it was different like yeah with that and I was watching New Girl recently,
and they were talking about hiding weed.
And I was like, you're in California.
What are you talking about?
You're hiding weed.
Yeah, yeah.
And I was like, oh, yeah, New Girl's that old?
Yeah.
It's been around.
Yeah, it's been around.
Yeah, so there's also just wildly hilarious episodes I remember.
It's less about what the finished product was
and more about what the experience was for us to film it.
All of our Halloween episodes were always really fun
because they usually involved the entire cast
and the writers just wrote those episodes really well.
But the very first Halloween episode we had,
I remember the entire family was in the dumpy living room
and we were all in these ridiculous costumes.
And Sophia was having to do like a weird American accent.
And her version of an American accent was like just ridiculous.
And we could not get through that scene.
We were constantly breaking.
Ed O'Neill would say a line.
Now we're breaking.
We're laughing at him. It was just – we were constantly breaking. Ed O'Neill would say a line. Now we're breaking. We're laughing at him.
It was just nonstop.
It's like the memory of just that and being together with those people and just finding so much joy in them as people and as actors.
I think that's an example of an episode that I'll always remember.
And it is actually a really good episode.
I think maybe it was nominated for an Emmy itself for writing.
But it is – I have such special feelings about what i remember that that's the one where sophie she
pops out and she's like welcome to your nightmare she was saying ho ho ho
perfect example like the way she translated what was on the page. It's funny to me that there's a whole generation that would probably know Ed O'Neill now as Jay.
Yeah.
Where, you know, you ask an older generation, they'd be like, what are you talking about?
Right, right, right.
That's Al Bundy.
That's Al Bundy, yeah.
You have two TV dads on your resume like that.
Yeah, yeah.
Quite the show, man.
For a show to have two legends.
He did 11 years on both of those shows. Did he really? 22 years of his life. Yeah. Yeah. Quite the show, man. For a show to have two legends, like where –
He did 11 years on both of those shows.
Did he really?
22 years of his life.
22 years on two.
Very successful sitcoms.
And very different.
Very different.
Irreverent and treating family kind of like, oh, everyone's family sucks.
So different.
Although like Christina Applegate and I became friendly after I was doing Modern Family.
And like we shared that thing in common. Like we both had – Ed O'Neill was our dad. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We shared that thing in common.
We both had...
Ed O'Neill was our dad.
We kind of feel like siblings in a weird way.
Totally.
Now you have this
unbelievable Rolodex
to eat food with and podcast with.
Believe me.
When I said yes to this podcast,
they were like,
who would you want as your guest?
Like, what are some of your dream guests?
I was like, I'm just going to stick with people I know because I don't – it's a little bit of imposter syndrome that I'm going through.
It's something new for me.
Welcome to the floor.
Welcome to every day of my life.
But I wanted it to be with people that I just really trusted.
Also, that's the best conversation.'s real it's genuine yeah although I sometimes find it I don't know if you've had
people on your podcast that you just know really well
sometimes when it's someone you know so well
it's actually harder to interview them
in this sort of circumstance
because you're asking questions
that you obviously know the answers to
or you don't even ask them
I know that part about you they don't yet it's a real delicate dancer that
i have i do where it's like because i don't want to go in like i think it was larry king we always
talked about larry king said i want to know what my guests know so he doesn't want to know anything
about the most brilliant way to mail it in yeah yeah he never read a book he never watched a
screener because he was like i don't want to know any more Than my audience knows Okay Larry
But then we just had
We just had comedian Joey Diaz on
And he was promoting his book
And I read the whole book
And I got
That's all I want to talk about
Was like
And then I'm like
Well I'm giving away
His whole book now
Where I'm like
We'll talk about this story
What's in the book
Go buy the book
We did that with Jury Duty too
With both those guys
We talked for an hour straight
About every single episode
And it was like
We just ruined
You know Spoiler alert We ruined the whole fucking series Yeah But now I want to go listen To that episode hour straight about every single episode yeah and it was like we just ruined you know spoiler alert
we were in the whole fucking series yeah but now i want to go listen to that episode honestly as a
fan yeah if there's any like you there's a lot of cool behind the scenes stories i'm not at all
i'm absolutely gonna seek that out yeah um but yeah the imposter syndrome is is an interesting
one for i think anybody in life and probably more so now than in any other time in
history,
because I feel like in the past,
if you became successful and maybe along with that fame and money,
it was kind of like you earned it.
And,
or maybe not talent wise,
but it's like you were on channel two,
four or seven.
You were one of like 10 people and that was it. You know? So it was like, were on Channel 2, 4, or 7. You were one of like 10 people, and that was it.
So it was like we –
Now the pool is so big.
Yeah, like you were in Hollywood.
You were an actor or a singer or a TV, and you had an agent,
and people knew you, and you deserved it or got there by going through the –
you earned it.
And now it's like I made this silly video on TikTok,
and now all of a sudden I have like 100,000 followers.
Now I have a million followers and now I'm famous and people are like – want more from me.
And it's like I'm just a nobody.
But it's like I don't know if you're not anymore.
So it's like imposter syndrome is kind of morphing in a way where I think there's a lot of people feeling it in different degrees.
But it is –
But it's – I actually talk about it pretty freely.
It's come up a few times on,
in conversations.
And I,
I feel like it's,
let's talk about it. Cause I'm sure you,
like you said,
I think many people can relate to that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And you know,
the fear of trying new things.
And then like,
I feel like there's,
how many things have I not tried that are new because I've been afraid of
failing before I even tried that.
That's the one.
If I could go back.
Succeeding sucks.
What are all the things I didn't try? God damn's the one, if I could go back. That's what succeeding sucks. Yeah, yeah. What are all the things
I didn't try?
God damn.
Or like if I tried,
if I even tried myself this one.
You could have been
an ass shot this whole time?
I say the number one thing
if I could go back
and give my young self advice
is like get over
the fear of rejection,
whether you're talking about
asking a girl on a date
or making a video
or putting yourself out there.
Like who cares, you know? But that's also one of those things asking a girl on a date or making a video or putting yourself out there like who
cares you know
but that's also one of those things that you're never
like you can't it's like human nature right
it doesn't yeah I mean you can say that but it's
like the practice is different than the actual
doing there are those
select people who aren't scared of
rejection and oh how I
just think they lie
I do but sometimes I think that's part of it
is like you lie to yourself until you convince yourself yeah smile every day and your brain
don't think you're happy i saw a video recently and it was a it was an instagram which is probably
a tiktok because i don't know that's how they get there and yeah but it was about how everyone's
lying about liking lobster and it's not that's not take. I've heard that before, that lobster is the insects of the sea.
And they used to be fed to prisoners and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then the video was about why you're lying and why it's actually not good and blah, blah, blah.
And it was like, but your brain is telling you it's good.
I was like, well, that's everything I think is good.
For sure.
So I'm not lying about liking lobster. My brain is telling me it's good. I was like, well, that's everything I think is good. For sure. So I'm not lying about liking lobster.
My brain is telling me it's good, so I like it.
Isn't that the definition of liking something?
There's this whole breakdown about why you're lying about how you like lobster.
And it's like, and it's just because your brain says it's good.
Yeah.
I don't know what the hell you're doing.
My brain says I'm hot.
My brain says I'm cold.
My brain says I'm, you know.
Also, listen, with lobster, I mean, I'm assuming you're a bit of a foodie if you're doing this thing.
It's like if it's cooked right and then you just douse it in butter and lemon, it tastes good.
Yeah.
OK.
Maybe it's the – you could cook a raccoon that way and I'd probably eat it.
The oysters is the one for me.
I get the oysters and I was like, I know I should be really loving this and i just i'm tolerating it oh i i'm almost the opposite i'm like i i don't know why other people do like
this uh i think it's gross and then i like the act like the slurping and the drinking of it and
then i also don't like the taste so i'm like i don't i don't get the appeal of any of this but
i grew up in in new england so like it was you know you made oysters at every meal i want to
like and so like i just i pretended until i was 27 and then i was 27 i was, you know, you ate oysters at every meal. I want to like them. And so I just – I pretended until I was 27.
And then I was 27.
I was like, you know what?
I'm done.
I'm done.
I'm out.
They're not cheap either, right?
Or are they?
I think they're rad.
I mean it's like – people have like the dollar oyster deals around here.
I don't –
Oh, God.
I think I would steer away from that.
Yeah.
You don't like 7-Eleven?
But when I was 27, I was like, I'm not doing this anymore.
Yeah. But while we're on the seafood topic, I have a question for everybody.
I was at the market on Saturday night, and I was just getting some food.
I was like, you know what?
They had pre-cooked and cracked and cut lobster, just like a big thing of it.
And I got it, and I ate some, and I ate some more.
And now we're Tuesday. Can I eat it tonight? Wait ate some, and I ate some more. And now we're Tuesday.
Can I eat it tonight?
Wait, when did you buy it?
Saturday.
Oh, no.
I don't think so.
I don't think so, right?
No.
I think I would let it go.
Damn.
I saw it in the fridge this morning.
I was like, that's going to be good for dinner tonight.
I can tell you right now, he's going to eat it.
It's Wednesday or Thursday.
It's Wednesday, he's going to eat it.
He will eat it, and he will come in tomorrow.
No, you won't see him for a few days.
He will come in tomorrow with food poisoning.
You have never messed up.
You're like, are you an Ozempic?
Nope.
Nope.
Ate my lobster.
You will never meet
anybody who gets
more food poisoning
than this guy.
Are you serious?
It's insane.
Well, there you go.
One time he ate
Chinese food
that gave him
food poisoning
and he ate
that same leftovers.
No.
And guess what happened?
He got it again.
Sure you did.
It's just insane.
As a child.
I love that you kind of crowdsource.
You were just begging for a yes.
And you're going to get a no.
You're fine.
You're fine.
I grew up in a home that did not respect expiration dates.
And we do not respect food safety.
Most of the time, I think you're actually okay with that.
Minus milk.
I think you're, you know.
Even milk.
I just do a step test.
As long as it's refrigerated, obviously.
My mom gave me E. coli once when I was a kid where I got E. coli on Christmas Eve and I went to the doctors and he was like – I admitted to the hospital.
The doctor was like, have you eaten any raw – any bad meat recently?
I was like in fifth grade and I was like, no.
In the middle of my no, my mom went, yeah.
I was in fifth grade. She cooked it. She's she's like yeah i was making american chop suey i thought there was something funky with that meat and and i said she's still the person i go
which is why i get food poisoning on time she's still the person i go to with questions and i
called her whether it's actually not it's a it's a regular response of hers but i called her
and i had meat that was probably like two weeks old.
But it was vacuum sealed.
And I was like, can I eat this?
And she goes, you could mail that to the moon, get it back, and eat it.
Oh.
Oh.
It's like, I'm going to say, if her track record was good, that'd be a great line.
When it's a bad track record, it's like, you're wrong.
You can't mail it to the neighbor and back.
It's already bad.
What's your favorite meal?
You're on death row. You get
final meal. I'll give you an appetizer,
an entree,
a dessert, and a drink.
The drink's going to be a dirty martini.
A slightly dirty martini.
That's actually the only thing I like about the boxers that is the uh salty taste of them yeah you don't like that no
it's the only thing i do like but uh vodka martini i think i think i feel like the gin
gin is making a little bit of a comeback i love gin do you just it's well i'm on death row i might
as well just go for it like it gives me a bad hangover but but you're not going to notice it.
I think I would do like an enchilada, like green chili chicken enchiladas or something. I am on a – I think I have – I think I'm a little bit autistic when it comes to my food.
I think one of the hallmarks of that is you just like eat the same thing all the time.
And I am on a chicken taco kick right now.
I probably had them like 20 nights in a row.
Do you make them or do you buy them from –
No, I bought them and I have a food processor.
So it's not even like shredded chicken.
It's like – it honestly looks – the presentation is terrible.
It looks like cat food because it's so churned up.
But I smash up tortilla chips, and I have it.
I love sour cream.
I get the melted cheese.
I get the really shredded up chicken.
I put the crunchy on top, and right now that could be my meal.
That doesn't sound bad.
Oh, really?
Oh, and rice.
I'm on a big rice kick, so I put it in there.
So I guess it's almost more like a burrito action.
The whole thing, as you were explaining, I was like, thank God he has kids because it makes sense with children.
But you eat like a stone college kid.
What's wrong with chicken taco?
It's what I said earlier, and I'm glad Jesse's here.
Dinner's on me at the podcast.
I have an issue with food as a whole, Jesse.
I think that we are not respected by the restaurant industry anymore.
He was just burning hot about it.
I was just real hot about it.
It is everywhere you go, they just give you a cardboard bowl of slop.
And they're like, here, eat it.
What are you eating?
Well, it's not for dinner.
It's for meals.
It's like quick sustenance.
Even a sweet green, anywhere, a cava, this or that.
It's just like –
A protein, two sides, and a cauliflower.
You smash it together.
The marketplace sort of thing is very popular right now.
They respect you so little.
They say, do you want forks and knives?
But what I think –
Yeah.
Yes, I want that.
God damn it.
You're going to need utensils with this piggy?
I'll just get it with my hands.
It's fine.
Your problem is the presentation where they just throw it all in a bowl.
Yeah. Because I think all those things, if you had
just like a chicken dish with some
rice and some cauliflower, you'd be
fine, but the fact that it's all lumped together in a bowl
seems to be your problem. I'm anti-bowl.
But it has nothing to do with my taco.
I'm picturing it in a bowl.
Well, it's not.
It's fucking wrapped up in a tortilla.
I'm going to give you my chicken and
you're gonna like my chicken tacos are fire and so okay so i brought that up because you're
enchilada so yeah i don't think anytime i've asked this like mexican is not a a um it doesn't
come up much no i'm for me i'm all on board so so an enchilada i think it's because i grew up in
albuquerque new mexico yeah i bet you bet you got some good eats there when it comes to that.
Okay, so we got the drink.
I mean a martini and an enchilada.
I've already failed here.
What's your appetizer?
It doesn't have to match.
Let's just say what's the best of each one.
An appetizer could be like a – oh, like a Bloomin' Onion.
Bloomin' Onion?
It's not a bad idea. I love it. Let's go. A fried onion, right? Oh, like a Bloomin' Onion. Bloomin' Onion? Mmm.
White Chayote.
I love it.
Let's go.
A fried onion, right?
Those are so good and they just wreck my stomach.
With ranch.
Because you just eat a thousand of them.
With ranch.
Are we talking specifically from Outback?
Sure.
Yeah.
That's like the Bloomin' Onion to me.
Mine is very specific where it is a southwestern style egg roll from the Chili's to Airport
in Charlotte. Wow. Airport in Charlotte. Absolutely. Yeah. Which has recently closed. My mother was just there. specific where it is a southwestern style egg roll from the chilies to airport in charlotte
airport that's not in charlotte absolutely yeah which has recently closed my mother was just there
i told her go get me one and last weekend she was there she had an 11 hourly over um a bunch
of burger kings closed too recently yeah they're going out of business in charlotte airport
they're uh just in general like 400 of them across the country closed which is like i think if like
one of them closes it it's a bad sign.
It's the end of an era.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know if they're like fully out, but it's like those things usually just keep growing.
They don't – yeah.
So the fact that Burger King is –
Sweetgreen is taking all their business.
They're a slop.
They're big food.
And are you a dessert guy?
I do like dessert.
I'm like – like if there's a confetti cake on a menu, I'm going to get it.
Like a slice of confetti cake.
Is that often on menus, though?
It's often on menus.
It's kind of a trendy thing right now.
I didn't realize that.
Confetti cake.
Confetti cake and Brussels sprouts.
Yeah.
Those are the two hot things.
I just had a milk bar cake, milk bar pie for the first time.
First time.
It was $90, first of all.
Oh, you got the whole cake of all oh you got the whole cake
yeah you got the whole pie and it i mean that is was it the confetti one no it's just just like
the milk bar pie like the crack pie yeah yeah now what the hell is in that it is so that that to me
feels like it's a pie of some sort that didn't yeah that might be my meal forget the dessert
it's like a custardy, but it's thin.
It's like a creme brulee,
but it's a little bit
like cookie dough chewy
while also being
an undercooked pie.
And you just know
it's 70 million calories.
Oh, I can't even imagine.
We got it for...
If you were to eat
like that whole pie,
I think instant diabetes.
I can't believe
you were brave enough.
You can get the slice.
Yeah, yeah.
I only bought the slice.
I'm pretty sure
they just take
however much a slice is and multiply it by eight pieces because they're $90 pies.
To be fair, so we got it.
Will Poulter, the actor, he was in here the other day, and he had that on his GQ 10 Things I Can't Live Without.
So we brought him one.
He did not eat any of it.
He did not.
No.
I was like, apparently.
Apparently you can.
But I had ordered it the night before.
So the 90 includes delivery fees, but the pie itself – and I'm not much of a pie connoisseur.
I don't know much about pie pricing.
That's not even like a pie.
That's just because it was served in a circle.
If you cut that in like a square – you know what I mean?
It's more like a tart.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean I guess it does have the crust, so I guess it's a pie.
To be fair, that was just $60.
And then whatever delivery service I use really gouges you they sure did yeah
i get so weird with that with the tips for that because there was a time where i guess you used
to only order a pizza but like your mom would give you a five to tip the guy yeah and now it's
always like i always i leave it at 20 percent and – The percent gets kind of crazy. I was like, I just tipped this guy $12 for a pie.
I know.
I know.
If I order one meal for me, OK, 25 percent makes it like – 20 percent makes it a couple of dollars.
It's like me and the family and stuff.
It's like, well, now I'm giving you like a $25 tip.
I guess you have to carry a couple more bags to me.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Have you guys gotten to that place where I've like – I'll go into like a coffee shop or something and order maybe just even like something from like a bottle of water or like – they're not even –
And then the screen.
And then the thing comes up.
Yes.
For the tip.
And I'm always – I can't not.
Well, the option of no tip makes you feel like such a jerk.
That feels very aggressive.
Yeah, right.
Like there's the option of like 15 or 10 percent.
I'm like, but I just picked up this bottle of water.
All you've done is told me how much it is.
And now I'm rewarding you for that.
I'm conflicted, but I have worked in service.
And I'm very happy to tip.
I've been on the other end of it.
But even when you do like a bottle of water, then the percentages feel insulting.
It's like 73 cents.
So then you round it up to a dollar.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I have two sworn enemies in my life.
One is the gentleman who works downstairs at this building.
I said good morning to him every day for three years.
He's never even looked at me.
Oh, he was so nice when I walked in.
Really?
You must have had a different guy.
Wait, was he really?
Oh, God.
Okay.
I'm like, I'm going to keep saying it, dude.
One day you're're gonna say good morning
back to me he does it every good morning and and good night every time but the guy good night
to go yeah the guy good night is all he's unbelievable yeah um have a good night sir
have a good night sir it's um we walk out together i'm more of like a head down kind of guy i'm just
not rude about it but whatever and he's like sir. To you, the kindness to you and your family.
We call each other sir.
It's a thing we have.
It's a kinship.
But the guy in the morning, I can't break him.
I'm going to get him one day.
You will.
Just keep trying.
And the other guy is the guy who works at the whatever you would call it,
the convenience store at the Providence, Rhode Island Amtrak station.
Very specific. I go in the same thing.
I get a water and I get a beef jerky for my train ride.
And he doesn't turn the iPad over.
He hits it.
Oh, here you go.
Trash.
Here's the tip part.
And every time I'm like, 25%. But one day, man, one day, this relationship we have is going to come to a head.
We're going to have to figure something out.
The tension is building for sure.
So, okay.
So, dirty martini.
What was the appetizer?
Bloomin' onion.
Enchilada of some sort.
And then a confetti cake
God, I feel like I need to change my order
What's like the most
I would imagine
you're eating at high-end restaurants
and it's nicer food
You imagine right
I'm saying, what's like the most
kind of trashy food that you
still like that oh taco bell yeah just had a cheesy gordita crunch for the first time ever
cheesy gordita crunch to me is the number one fast food item in the world yeah it's insane i've never
had so good i just even just like a regular ground beef yes the taco i want a soft taco soft
now this is not quite a Taco Bell.
I don't think they give you a choice.
But in general, Mexican, corn tortilla or flour?
Flour.
Yes!
In all the spots, Jesse.
Yeah, I have gone to Taco Bell and ordered like 15 tacos before.
And I eat like three of them when I'm done.
But I just like the thought of like, I'm going to eat all these.
And I'm going to love it.
So good.
Every time you see it, it's like $1.60.
It's like, that's what I tip.
That's how cheap.
That's what I tip for a watered-up beef jerky.
It's ridiculously inexpensive.
It's like, that's $0.
You know, come on.
Like, $1 something is $0.
Well, now they have the cantina, so you can actually rock it out.
Yeah.
Because they have margaritas.
A cheesy gordita crunch, a Doritos Locos taco, a regular taco.
Oh, my God.
Baby, let's go.
Have you had their Cinnabon desserts?
I have not.
They're literally partnered with Cinnabon.
And it's balls.
And they have the goo in the inside.
And they serve you like 12 of them.
Jesus.
They're a fucking problem.
Also, balls with goo.
I just don't know.
You got to be pretty secure.
You got any more of those gooey balls?
I don't know the name of them.
You can't like, if you bite it, it's everywhere.
So you got to just eat the whole thing.
We got them.
We had a show in Dallas like a few weeks ago.
And we ordered them.
We get home.
And for some reason, New York is the only city in the world.
Everywhere we go, we do live podcast shows.
Do you feel that?
I mean, you've probably been around.
That New York is the only city in the world?
The only city that – yeah, just period.
The only city.
We got out of our show at like 9.30, and we couldn't get food.
Yeah, absolutely.
And even New York right now is not as great as New York.
No, it used to be like all around the clock.
And then I was asking if there's any pharmacies nearby.
They're just like,
we need kind of a corner store.
And they didn't have that.
And I was just like,
how do you people live?
No, I do agree with you with that.
Yeah.
It's snobby, but whatever.
But so we ordered Taco Bell
and we got the 12.
And I never had the Cheesy Gordita.
I just didn't grow up on a Taco Bell family.
I was a McDonald's family.
That's where we went when we got fast food.
And I never had the Cheesy Gordita, which. It was a McDonald's family. That's where we went when we got fast food. I never had the cheesy gordita, which I got.
It was delicious.
Kevin got – he's like, get the 12 of the gooey balls.
So I took like three back to my – because I dropped his bag off and I just grabbed three out of those and went back to my room.
If I had had 50, I'd eat those.
I've got to try the gooey balls.
Well, if you've ever had Cinnabon.
I have, yeah. And the balls are balls. Yeah, the gooey balls. Well, if you've ever had Cinnabon. I have, yeah.
And the balls are just kind of a different form of that.
I used to go to the mall when malls were a thing.
Sure.
And the Cinnabon would be there, and I would get the big –
Right, it's the hot dog on a stick.
Yeah.
Auntie Anne's too.
Yeah.
Oh, that's all.
What's the most – have you had any like Michelin star type dishes, like a renowned dish that you think this is the best I've ever had in the world?
Oh, God.
You know, it's so funny because I sometimes go to these restaurants that are like so lauded and the food is always great and it's beautiful.
But I like accessible food. I like something that feels like – not that it's something I can make at home, but I want to recognize what it is.
I mean I just had this lasagna from Don Angie's with Jim Parsons just like an hour ago.
And it's just insane.
It's made like a jelly roll.
So it's sheets of pasta.
They spread the bechamel.
They spread the ragu on it and then they roll it up like a jelly roll and then they slice it and then it's baked in like little pinwheels.
So the pasta, you've got the – instead of just like getting like the edge of the lasagna like on the sides like you basically every little pinwheel gets like
that crispy
like
because my problem
with the lasagna
is sometimes
it becomes like
this Italian like soup
you know
right
so you always want
the corners
yeah yeah yeah
so this is like
your own little
like pinwheel
of like everything in it
all the textures you want
it's really spectacular
but I've also eaten
in some very very fancy places that i i i
adore i mean like there's this place in um uh chicago grand atchis's place called uh alinea
and he's sort of if you've watched chef's table he was featured on an episode of that
but like he does very like inventive crazy weird things. And it's sort of performance art as well.
Only like 12 people dine there.
And you go into the kitchen for a course and when you come out, they've rearranged the dining room and everyone's sitting in there.
It's like weird stuff like that.
It's like the menu.
The menu.
Oh, which kind of reminded me a lot of the menu. At dessert course, the waiters came over and they removed what seemed to be like a ceiling tile from the roof and brought it down to our table.
And it was actually our plate now.
And they ended up like doing this like techno music.
What?
Like this deconstructed.
They were coming over and splattering shit on this tile that came off the ceiling.
And it was like this deconstructed
dessert and they're like this is a mars bar and you tried it and i was like and it looked like
either a dog had had a like massive accident or like a jackson pollock sort of thing and you eat
this thing like that's a mars bar that's a mars bar and but like was this deconstructed weird
thing and it was just like a combination
of like
how ridiculous it was
and like they weren't
taking themselves
too seriously
this plate came off
the ceiling
I was like
what
this was like
just a great
15 minutes of my life
like part show
part dinner
and the food was also
really lovely
it all tasted great
I felt that
the same way
when the first time
I ever had
guacamole made by my table side I was was like on a date you know i was like wow
which that's my biggest pet peeve is i do not like pomegranate seeds in my guacamole
no it's a thing that i didn't even that's a thing it would have been a table side service
it's it's a thing i i'm trying to decide if i'm if I'm – I don't eat enough guacamole to have a hard stance on it.
But I think I'd like it.
I think –
What's your least – like I think chicken fajitas are the most obnoxious thing in the world and I can't – it's such a ridiculous presentation.
It drives me crazy.
It is a bit ridiculous.
It's just stunk up and it's like –
Yeah, you're sort of like –
It's also 800 degrees against me. Involving the entire restaurant the entire restaurant in your meal yeah yeah mine isn't even that i don't like
it because it's i don't see you on a personal work you have to do yeah i paid you to make yeah
you're a professional food kind of like person picking shoes like well now i'm gonna do one
with sour cream yeah i do like that it's like you're kind of in charge your own destiny a little fondue yeah yeah i can mix and match yeah um before we let you go the uh i did tell you you gave me both
and this is back to monor family both a complex in a sense and the cure for it he had a complex
before you trust me whatever he's about to say it was before you it was julie uh makes fun of you in one episode where she's like – she's making fun of your jawline.
She goes, we all know why you grew that beard.
Yeah.
And I was like, well, guess who's going to start getting his beard professionally trimmed?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what?
I think I had actually said that out loud and one of the writers overheard me.
Really? heard me i i i grew up i grew a beard when i was doing modern family because i i at the time was
how old were you early 30s maybe 33 that's right around when when a guy learns that a beard covers
the fat face late 20s early 30s i was like wait a minute i don't have a double chin yeah yeah
it gives you some structure but also i was just i was convinced that i looked too young to be a dad i mean i would
have been a young dad yeah yeah at least please people are having kids in their 20s like when i
was younger but like i just felt like i didn't see myself in that role so i thought if i grow some
facial hair i'll look a little older and then i got very used to it and i remember having to shave
it for i did a play over one of my hiatuses and it looked like I had an alien face. It just sort of
evaporated into
this kind of little point and then
just went away. I had no
jaw. I had no jaw.
I missed the
structure of my jaw.
Once you go beard, you can't go back
because I feel naked
without it.
It was probably until then.
I've seen the show a million times, but again, I'm always doing rewatches. It's always on feel naked without it. I didn't, it was probably until then but it was actually more because I've seen the show
a million times
but again,
I'm always doing rewatches.
It's always on.
It's unbelievable.
It's actually perfect.
When you're like,
I don't know what I want to watch
and you're scrolling the TV
and you're like,
I want to watch Modern Family.
That's what I want to watch.
Yeah, yeah.
But the,
I'd seen it more recently
and I live right across the street
from a barbershop
and I've always been so
scared to go,
because I don't have a beard.
I have hair on my face kind of deal.
It's not a beard.
And I go, and the guys must hate me,
because I just always just make jokes.
It must be like cutting a bald guy's head.
You're not being original.
We've heard this 10,000 times.
But the thing I don't feel too bad for you
is you have the greatest head of hair.
No one's worried about your face, dude. Yeah mean like you make up for it other ways like that's a great head thank you very much i mean you got
thank you thank you you know it's a good uh yeah it's like it's been like you have like
head hair on your face you know what i mean like like lays you know i got like yeah patches and
swirls and stuff you got like no yeah i spent a year doing this play in New York and I had a mustache.
Oh, yeah.
Which I kind of also really liked.
But people would comment on Instagram like, take that thing off your face.
Mustache goes like one or the other.
Some people love it.
You get kicked out of it.
Other people are like, you look like you're a deviant.
Was that Take Me Out? Take Me Out, yeah. I was playing a business manager. I, yeah, yeah. Was that take me out?
Take me out, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was playing a business manager.
I was like, what would a business manager have?
A mustache.
A mustache.
A mustache.
There's this crazy thing.
I've been playing a role for 11 years that a lot of people know about.
And it's like, what can I do to help you not see that?
Because my job is to embody this person. So it's a lot to crawl out not see that because my job is to like be the other character yeah yeah uh so it's
a it's a lot to like crawl out from under that it's a great problem to have though man totally
great problem we've i've been lucky enough to talk to so many people who have been like either an
iconic role or a known for a single song or whatever yeah and there are people who embrace
it and there are people who like hate it and i and who hate it and I get it but I'm also like
dude that bought you
your kids college that bought you
your house that bought you
embrace that role
and I do it's just
it takes a little bit of extra effort
to make people forget that when it's time
to forget it well you know what will help too I think
the podcast is like
when people get to know you and not your roles right it becomes like you're no longer uh you know that
you're no longer your character you're sure you become just you know yeah absolutely we were
saying that recently with a guest where it's like this moment you learn like a thing about a person
you're like okay it's like it's it's weird to look at a celebrity such as yourself or any celebrity
and like you you get dehumanized very quickly
and the moment you learn one
maybe two
you learn one thing
you're like I can hate that thing still
and then the second thing
I'd be like oh shit
he's a dad and he likes Taco Bell
cool
never looking the same
speaking of facts before we let you go
we have been doing a thing with our guests where everyone provides us with a fun fact they have
everyone has i feel like everyone's got like a fun fact they like we had a caller call him recently
and they explained to us that william the conqueror was uh when he laid in the state
after he died the embalming was not perfected yet, and he exploded
onto his funeral goers.
Fun fact.
I guess you could debate the word fun, but
it doesn't have to be fun.
I have to come up with something like that?
Will Poulter gave us the etymology
of the phrase,
it's raining cats and dogs.
It was back at a time where there was
straw roofs.
And when it rained, and this is back when animals were in the farms and in the barns,
and they would hang out on top.
And when it would rain too much, the roof would break,
and the cats and dogs would fall from the ceiling.
So if it rained hard enough, it would be raining cats and dogs.
Oh, my God.
I have to come up with something like that?
Ever, whatever.
Has there ever been a little tidbit that's stuck in your brain?
Has there ever been a little something?
You know what I heard?
Oh, my God.
We're certainly putting you on the spot.
It is really hard.
I mean, I was going to tell you, like, I studied mime as a kid.
That was, like, a fun fact that not a lot of people know about.
You also were a failed model. I wasn't a kid. That was a fun fact that not a lot of people know about. You also were a failed
model.
I wasn't.
Yeah.
I don't even know if I was ever
on my way to becoming a model, but I did not succeed.
I don't know if that was your...
I thought that was your phrase is the only reason I said it.
Failed models, yeah.
I failed, for sure.
I think it was in the description of the podcast.
So I wouldn't have just met you.
So here's what you failed at.
It is in the description of the podcast.
That's right.
Yeah, there's a funny story around that.
A mime though, huh?
Yeah, I studied.
I was part of the Albuquerque Children's Theater
and there was a faction of the company
that was like, on Saturdays at 3,
you can also come over early and we're
gonna do some mime work and like run out of mime and i was like yeah sign me up wow yeah that would
be do you have any of it still do i have any of those skills still not really you can you can uh
bypass the fun fact if you give us a little mimery yeah like you know the fake wall the one that's really hard
is like the hamster
in a wheel
yeah
some people are really
good at that
me not so much
I wish I had a better
fun fact for you
I don't think I know
of anything that like
that's super fun
it's hard because
it's like we do
put you on the spot
and I'm honestly like
if someone asked me
right now
I don't think
I would have a fun fact
I would go with
my pirates one I don't know why that's the fun time. I would go with my Pirates one.
I don't know why that's the one I stick with.
Actually, any of you might appreciate it as a foodie.
Tell me.
The Pirates, back in the day, not the current ones, they would, when they were eating below
deck, they'd blow out all their candles, and they'd eat in the pitch black, so they didn't
see how maggot-infested all their food was.
Oh. Most fun facts are not particularly fun.
No, they're always really grim, aren't they?
Zebras are
officially white with black
stripes. Oh, really?
You don't really know if they're white or black.
But they are white. If you were to get down
to their skin, I guess, is
white and then there's the black
stripe part. If there were to be a stripless zebra, it guess, is white. And then there's the black stripe part.
Yeah, the accessory.
If there were to be a stripless zebra,
it would be a white animal, yeah.
Huh.
We got you covered.
All good.
I'll use any of those.
Crowdsource, like we said.
Okay, so the podcast.
Dinner's on me.
