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. All right, it's another edition of KFC Radio, holiday edition, brought to you by Roman. Hopefully, over the holidays, you got everything you wanted. Hopefully, you got a little bit of action in the bedroom. Christmas sex is a thing. What's up, what's up? Yay, in the bedroom, Christmas sex is a thing. What's up, what's up? Yay, in the bedroom.

And if you were having a little bit of sex or if you are going to be having a little bit of sex, Roman swipes are the only way to do it, the only way to last longer, the only way to improve your performance in the bedroom, and it's the real deal. It's not mental. You're not trying to trick yourself or trick your dick. This is a medicated swipe that numbs your dick just a little bit. Just enough to last a couple minutes longer. Make sure you get her over the top. Make sure you get to do

a couple positions. There's nothing worse than when you start having sex. You're like, I'm going to do this and then I'm going to do that and then we're going to go here and we're going to go there and we'll go in this room and that room. We'll do it on the ceiling and then then you do, like, missionary and doggy style. And that's it. It's over.

I mean, I think I've even reached the stage in my life where I don't even have those fantasies anymore. You don't even try to – it's not like tricking yourself. I don't know. It's like when you have that dumb boner brain, like, you don't – I used to be like, I'm going to fuck. You don't even do that anymore? You're just like, yeah, this is giving me mediocre? No, I think I probably stopped doing that, like, the same age I stopped jumping in a basketball hoop and being like, I might touch rim. You know what I mean?

Like, I'm not even jumping anymore. I'm going to maybe hit the backboard and that's it so not even dude i go for net i go for net the hell of the backboard crazy it's so true because if you go in with those false expectations it's going to be a disaster for everyone if you go in with like a reasonable expectation it's like all right i got a few minutes to get this done you know you're not going come in too hot. You're going to start slow. You need to just be real. Be real with yourself. You can't go out there and like, if you can't throw the ball 50 yards, don't air it out. It's going to be an interception, man. You got to fucking dunk down the field. Let's go. So Roman's going

to help you do that. They got these swipes. You open them up. You wipe them on your dick. You last longer in bed. And the more you use them, the more your dick actually just gets better at having sex. You're just training your dick. So use them frequently. And over the course of several months, you'll actually last like 20% longer in bed or whatever it is. So go to GetRoman.com slash KFC and get your swipes for $5 right now. Delivered every month. It's GetRoman.com slash kfc

we got an old school sky Skype edition with two just disgusting individuals. This is not a good look for us, John. Kevin, I'm going to be honest with you. I don't know why I look like this. I just worked out. Oh, wow. Yeah, I got athletic shorts on. I got a T-shirt on.

I was in the garage doing some bench, doing some curls. Miami stuff. I top tell you what i look like this because i did not fucking work out i have been uh deplorable so far in this break if you would like to take a look you would if you would like to see this ain't a sight go to uh barstoolgold.com slash kfc You are looking yoked, John. Oh, yeah? Sitting like that on purpose, but you're fucking... I'm sitting like that to hide my boobs. I haven't done enough push-ups just yet. Well, I know that you've got your mind set on Miami,

and I don't know if there's enough push-ups that can be done in the next month. And I also don't know if it's going to fucking matter to you at all, John. Look. can be done in the next month and i also don't know if it's gonna fucking matter to you at all john look yeah that's right you know it usually john would be like you fucking idiot i can't believe you're counting us out you paused you looked for a lifeline you look to your left you look to your right nothing you got nothing and you fucking know it. Well, here's what I know we do have. We have a team that I think realizes what's happening. I think they see it's coming to an end. And if you watch the game, it's not even the game because I still to this day don't.

I think Brady sailed one pass the door set i don't he's obviously sailed that pass to white or edelman whoever that was going to i don't hey john come on like i know what you're saying it's not like you can't point to like shitty play like at the end of peyton manning's run where it was like you're throwing ducks right into the ground i I know what you mean. But he's not winning these football games anymore. It's like, you know, a classic. I've said it a million times.

If you get all the praise, you got to get all the blame, too. It's not that he's like can't throw the ball anymore. He can't win like he used to. But it was almost Super Bowl, Giant Super Bowls-esque where it was, look, they couldn't move the ball all game. Fourth quarter, you needed the ball to score. What'd they do? It went down and scored. What happened?

The best defense in the NFL had the Dolphins just storm down their throat. That was like, if you had, at the beginning of the season, if halfway through the season, if at the beginning of this game, you had said, here's what's going to happen. There's going to be four minutes left in the game. This defense needs to stop the Miami Dolphins from scoring. You would

sign on that dotted line every time. Done. We got the bye. And that just didn't happen. It didn't happen. It just didn't. We've heard the reports all year, and they're getting more and more real.

I think Mike Girardi just said he tweeted like tweets on this morning like at the end of the season expect big change to come new offensive coordinator new quarterback no more van noy no more mccourty like it seems like the core is probably gone so i have heard people say all year, too, that, like, the locker room is tight. So I think I'm hoping. I'm hoping, one, that there's a magic pill to make everyone figure it out. And, two, I'm hoping that they go, all right, boys, like, one last ride.

Let's mount up. Well, yeah, I would agree with you that if you're going to be bad or you're going to have, like, I would rather them be all the way, like, oh, shit, because then you have this this this like epiphany if you're just like you know all right no we're still pretty good and we won that game we got the bye all that kind of shit and then you kind of limp in like you know not mediocre but you know what i'm saying it's kind of like you're there versus you know now we need to make this the storybook ending if if these guys if professionals do still need that extra level of motivation that would probably be it i would i hope so i i think you're already also a few weeks ago said like this locker room is rallying around tom brady and brady still finished he finished

seventh in the nfl in passing yards he finished seventh in the nfl completions he completed more passes to more wide receivers than he has since 2005 like it's been a revolving core quarterback of wide receivers i i don't i don't know brady will be here next year i also don't think tom brady's done i think i think be very careful counting him out give him an offensive line and receivers to work with i do i would not count tom brady going if he leaves which it seems like is happening if he goes somewhere else i would not count tom brady else i i think when when when i when i can hear you rattle off these stats i feel like i know you've been looking for him because you got to defend your boy and you got to be able to answer the haters and that's

almost the sign for me that you like you i know he's still good but are you feeling it now are you are you are you willing to uh where were you at last when i said will the patriots win the super bowl i mean where are you now surprise me no will i guarantee it no i mean this is they have the titans coming in the titans are the number one russian team in the nfl i believe derrick henry is a monster this this, as good as it's been, has always been the secondary despite yesterday's play. Their run defense has always been kind of sketchy. To have Derrick Henry come in, they've had, I think,

their offense is the best offense in the NFL since switching over to Tannehill or one of the best offenses, top three probably. Rabel's a monster. I think that's going to be a tough game. And then you have to go to Kansas City. Then you have to go to Baltimore. Then you have to play, I don't know, any team out of the NFC. The NFC is tough. It's

impossible to guarantee that now. It's a long shot, but I'm hoping for, like I said, one last ride. Let's mount up, boys. Where's Johnny Gambler? Where's he throwing his money, though? You have to put money down on him. How many units, John?

I mean, I think five on him. Yeah, that's a change. We might want to stop checking on that one. But it would be a happy surprise at this point. I'll be honest. It would be a happy surprise to see the next sequel. Which would be the most annoying of all if now the last not only is the storybook ending but it's like you've had the dominant super

bowl you've had the early like heroic super bowl and now you had the like late surprise like you got like like i always i'm always so envious and so i hate you guys so much because you're like deadens to it you're just like oh you're like another super bowl here we go but the fact that you would actually get the juices flowing again and be like little kids again excited that would piss me off so fucking much this is almost like gonna be the worst one of all i'm gonna have to sweat this one out if god fucking forbid they somehow make it that's a long road for tom to go through you know what's perfect like I mean it's one of the more difficult stretches you could have in NFL like those four teams are going to be unbelievable football obviously like any wild card it's not an easy stretch but particularly with the Titans who

have been great and who who just stomped on the Patriots just last season, and then Kansas City Baltimore, and then anyone. A lot of times the wild card has, you know, the Giants, and I think the Packers were maybe the wild card, have had, like, their, you know, Cinderella runs. But that's because they, like, finish strong and creep into a wild card spot and they have momentum. This is the opposite. You're falling into the wild card position rather than, like, like gaining it i think that's a totally different wild card experience

to go through yeah yeah it's not gonna be fun and one of the worst parts about it is like me and my buddies we're not doing like a new year's but we're doing we got a box in chicago for the whole celtics on saturday i'm just gonna be sitting inside watching a football game now. Like, it's the Saturday night. Of course. It's 7 o'clock tip-off. You guys have never even considered making plans around a wild card game. It's just never even been in the fucking cards. Yeah.

It's been nine years straight of a bye, I believe. Or since 2011, it's been bye every year. It wasn't year it wasn't even like we might be playing wild card weekend i remember when i got married in october or it was early october but still um from one split second i had a moment i was like well what if the mets are in the playoffs never mind let's fucking do whatever you want in october who fucking cares so uh my life's been the total opposite you can you can make plans whatever the fuck you want and don't worry playoffs for your team will not matter but for the first time you got to be like the rest of us plebeians john dude also for the first time like i was thinking this yesterday i feel like we've talked a lot about how like at certain stages of your life like sports become less important or something like that where you know other things other things take precedence and just yesterday i was like i think i spoke

out of school because i think it has just been i have been afforded that privilege that i can have other things take precedence because i can just my sports are my old reliable we're gonna be good we're set don't worry about it and like yesterday it was it was almost embarrassing where i was in such a funk and i was like i was lashing out at like family members and stuff i i do and i i knew why i'm i have the emotional intelligence at least enough i always know what's wrong with me i don't know how to fix it but i always know what's wrong with me and i knew why it how to fix it, but I always know what's wrong with me. And I knew why it was happening. I just couldn't stop it from happening. It was really, really tough. Now imagine literally an entire life of that and how it just shapes your personality. It's not a mood for me. It's just a constant. My rock is that feeling. When people are like,

why are you all the grumpy and bitter and angry? Why would I not be? Look at the thing that I put all my emotional hope into, and look how it treats me. Of course I'm fucking angry and miserable all the time. I was, like, belittling people and, like, snapping back. I was like, you're not mad at them, you're mad at the Patriots. And it just didn't happen. You met your father.

You know, honestly, it will didn't make your father you know honestly it will be interesting to see how you got the most the best example I ever saw of that was after the Philly Super Bowl Dave was still in Minnesota I was back on the radio and he was like Skyping in it was like piped in from

a serious studio out there and I said something like really harmless, just kind of like, yeah, man, the Patriots lost the Super Bowl. And Dave was like, yeah, well, your wife doesn't love you anymore and you're getting a divorce. And I was like, whoa, whoa. And it was the only time we came back from a break and Dave offered like the only somewhat apology I've ever heard Dave give give he was like uh before we start this next segment i'd like to say that i maybe overreacted before we went to break and that's next topic it's like yeah man i don't think you guys know how to handle this you're gonna have a

whole region of people who are walking around like i don't know why i'm so angry i don't know what what this new life is you're fucked you guys are you gonna be suicides there's gonna be murder it's gonna be all sorts of shit going on. And it's one of those things, too, where, like, some of us knew it. I knew it to an extent. I was young when Boston became Boston, right? I was a sophomore in high school, I think, give or take. Well, I mean, I was much younger than that. I was 13 for the Patriots.

But I feel like we didn't really get that rep. We didn't really start getting the rep until the Sox picked it up, too. We were, like, obviously, 01 through oh four had a ton of patriot success but i think like boston really started being like the dickhead winners you know in like with the socks so i think i was i think i was a sophomore in high school i forget exactly but like so i have some remembrance of like boston the angry boston sports fan and i think there are gonna be a lot of people who revert back to that and just like i'll understand i i get i know mentally i'm like i know why i'm being like this but there are gonna be a lot of people who are like what the hell happened to my

personality why did i just flip a switch because my team my football team's relationships are gonna end people are gonna lose i'm not saying they think right now but i'm saying in the future in the short future there's a chance that there's apparently there are reports there's gonna be a lot of turnover and if in two years there is not a good football team yeah but you're excited i don't think you should be excited i think you should be scared i think boss is gonna bite back and people are to be unable to know why they're being this way. Yeah, I mean, oh, you mean bite back in the sense that, like, people are going to be nasty when they stink or that the teams are going to, like, have one last hurrah sort of thing? No, people are going to be nasty. Oh, yes.

So you know what's going to happen? Boston's going to become racist again. That's what it is. is you guys have shaken the racist uh like tag or at least you know proven that a lot of it's like stereotypes because you've been happy because everything's good and you guys can be you can unite and there's you know uh everyone's happy and enjoying super bowls and parades together white black green doesn't matter now all of a sudden you start to lose people get bitter and bombs are gonna be flying around people are gonna go back to the old nasty racist boston and i can't fucking wait this city's gonna burn to the ground i mean there's a chance it will i really think everyone in boston needs to get in therapy right now because you're gonna have to start understanding why you're gonna be angry just just preemptive i don't think it's

i don't think it's like tomorrow i also like the celtics are awesome the red socks and the bruins are awesome uh so we still have two really awesome teams but but but it's not all four it's not all four and i mean celtics and bruins i think are the clear three and four in set in the sense of like like you said when the socks started winning and you broke that curse that was like a thing and brady has been like the guy. If you're winning Cups and NBA Finals, obviously you're still on top. But if the basketball and football go away, that's a lot of the persona and the swagger of it all. Yeah, I think – I mean before 2001, the Patriots were number four. So I think it's also like if you – if someone wins,

then it's like, well, now you're number one. Yeah, yeah, that's true. It's almost like Celtics and – Successful bandwagoning. Brady is going to be – I mean, there are – people are literally going to be weeping in the streets. It's going to be – so where do you think he goes? I don't know. He's not going to retire. I know that think he goes i don't know he's not gonna retire

i know that yeah i don't i don't think especially i mean he said 45 right that was always his thing i want to play to 45 uh and and he's not the type to like you know to lose or to be like all right you guys were right like you proved me wrong so i think you'll see a couple more from him but i don't know where are you mad about the gym what's that are you mad about jimmy g now no no that's two super bowls it would be huh got two super bowls well but are you mad in the sense that like it's forced like it didn't have to be that way you know what i mean you couldn't he what he didn't want to be a backup anymore. You couldn't pay him, you couldn't franchise tag him

and pay him $25 million to sit on the bench. He had to go. I have no regrets with Jimmy James. I wish the best, but there's no. Couldn't you still have had him on like his rookie deal? And then. No, they traded him in his last year of it. Oh, wow. All right. I didn't realize that. Yeah. realize that yeah that that offseason they would have to make a decision franchise them

or in that sense it's i i you know i'm almost like i mean things are working out obviously in san francisco for him but it's like uh you know aaron rogers like waited it out a little longer i feel like I would rather have had a year at a lower paycheck or whatever it may have been sat the bench one more time to continue the Patriots dynasty. I don't think you can make

I don't think you can do hindsight with Jimmy G. I think you can maybe do hindsight with Brissette where it's like I think that one is more understandable. Jimmy G had to go. That was, I have no regrets.

I wish him the best, all that stuff. I think, I think he acted properly. I think he was like, look, I want to start football games. I think that,

I think that's fine. I think the Patriots being like, look, we can't pay to send the bench was fine. I think Patriots saying we're keeping Tom Brady is a okay. I think that, I think that all should go fine. I think Brissette, it's kind of like, well,

it'd be nice to have him back there. Right, right, right. Well, either way, beginning of the end is coming, and I'm going to laugh my way. You know what? Should you count them out? No. But am I going to count them out?

Yeah. It's a wrap. They're done. It's all right. I mean, hey, look, it's worked out well for us every time you've done that. Yeah. But this time it feels right.

And I know I've said that before too, but there really was no reason, you know, he hasn't, it wasn't 40 plus. They weren't losing all sorts of games. They always win. It's a wrap.

It's time. You know what? Console, console the Patriots. All right. That's your decision. How was your holiday if i'm wrong i will go ahead and just drown myself in some screwball whiskey it's a new whiskey that

is promoting our show here uh we know fights i mean i feel like you just you just drink whiskey all day long at this point like not all day long i have wine oh are you oh john you drinking wine if you could if you could decide what my nightstand looks like like if you had to paint a picture is this not exactly it we got swedish fish a gatorade is there a fucking is that what else we got dip dip. What is that white box there? Snuff. That's it. That nightstand is you in a nutshell, except the wine is a little out of character. There's a podcast mic back there from the early days. That Yeti mic, that's you right there in one single snapshot. But you'd have to add a bottle

of the screwball whiskey there, too. Now, the screwball whiskey, it's not your average whiskey. And it's a flavored whiskey that is going to probably blow your mind. You're going to think, what the fuck? But it happens a lot with this flavor. It's peanut butter whiskey.

Now, I feel like peanut butter is one of those things. I went to a steakhouse, and they had the bacon and peanut butter, like the gourmet bacon. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Peanut butter? What? Delicious. Anytime I get one of those sushi dishes that also have peanuts in it, I'm like, wait, does that work?

Delicious. What did Phil Hughes just go viral with? Peanut butter and pickles or something like that? You know what I'm talking about? Phil Hughes just go viral with? Peanut butter and like pickles or something like that? You know what I'm talking about? Phil Hughes, the pitcher, he made like a peanut butter and pickles sandwich or something like that. And everybody was grossed out by it. It went viral. Everybody started trying it.

Delicious. Bottom, peanut butter, you can just put in anything. Peanut butter. You want a real one? Peanut butter, jalapeno, and bacon. What up? Those little green with the sometimes like the drizzle the green that spice a little bit of bite to it so imagine that now

with your whiskey so you can do it you know you can just drink it like a normal whiskey you can mix it with uh i would imagine some sort of like cream soda or root beer or whatever you weirdos drink would go well with that maybe a scoop of ice cream in there to turn it into like an adult dessert. Screwball whiskey is a twist on your regular whiskey. Once you're looking for a little bit more, you're looking for a little bit of flavor, that's kind of my jam. I feel like I'd really like that with a little bit of, you know, almost make it a little sweet, like a little dessert-ish.

And that way it's... Oh, that's your jam? Yeah. Did you know that, John? did you know that john do you know about me i like i like desserts i got a sweet tooth who knew so uh right now go get yourself a uh bottle of screwball enjoy it responsibly screwball spirits is in california whiskey with natural flavors caramel color 35 alcohol by volume uh it's the original and most awarded peanut butter whiskey now available nearly everywhere 70 proof so it's the original and most awarded peanut butter whiskey now available nearly everywhere

70 proof so it's the perfect shot perfect addition to your cocktail you can pick it up at a local store or your favorite bar go get screwed baby yeah uh the the diet officially starts january 2nd because it has been i have put on a barstool Indoors Tour de Force, John. Like right now, it's all nasty out. It's like raining and shit. Perfect. I woke up and saw that. I was like, yes.

Guilt-free. We're also at the point in the break where like you even said it yesterday. You're like, this is kind of crazy. We're out for like two straight weeks. Right now is where like big time players make big time plays now is the time to dig in you don't get antsy don't be like oh god i gotta get out of the house or oh i haven't done anything in two weeks remember this feeling now because come was it thursday whatever goes back come january 2nd top five worst day of the year number one overall when you're

miserable at your cube and you're going to be like i can't believe i took for granted those last few days on the couch now is the time to binge that final season or watch that movie again or whatever it is i haven't i got out of uh barstool indoors clothes for the first time yesterday because i popped into the office real quick and i was over at at my baby mama's house and she goes oh you put on outdoors clothes today because I had been in nothing but pajamas like going out in the world like picking up my kids taking them to the park go to the store I had been in nothing but pajamas for like a solid eight straight days to the point that people were noticing

that I put on regular clothes again. It's a run, baby. I've done nothing but – This outside right now is a gift from God. Oh, it's the best. When you think about changing, guess what you're waking up to? Yep. I mean, I actually woke up thinking I might be productive. I even considered maybe working out.

Not only am I not doing anything, my apartment, bro, I'm almost embarrassed to even show it like the christmas explosion that you have when you have little kids i mean this place is a fucking nightmare dude like it looks like a frat party but for like two-year-olds you know it is nuts in here and i was like all right i gotta wake up and clean this joint because the problem is it's like you do the gifts but then they the next few days they're playing with everything so it's like it's not just like oh clean up on christmas morning uh so i haven't even fucking done that it's been it's been amazing dude i haven't had a run like this in a long time i'm like

the actual holiday was so fucking brutally depressing i was like so upset and then after that i kind of got out of my system so now i'm like guilt free i watch the kids i watch tv i watch the kids i watch tv this is the life for me john this is it i seen i saw uncut gems i saw it was so awesome so awesome so so much anxiety there was it was the one of the thing i keep repeating about it is that like it was so cool how there was never one noise happening it was always two noises to make you just like oh my god what is like i can't focus on this be it like a cell phone and someone talking or people talking or cross-talking or someone trashing the room while someone's trying to talk on the phone.

They're in the club. They're in a casino. There's always extra noise and it's brutal but so good. It's the best movie that I never want to see again. If I never watch that again, I'll probably be okay with it.

I don't know if it's recency bias i would have no problem putting that at like the very very top of the list for me that is one of my favorite movies ever period you know what sucks about it though and you may not have dealt with this don't you ruin this for me no and what sucks about it is the reception um from the gambling world like i personally and just speak for my responses i i haven't seen this much without direct response to me but people were chirping me being like how can you be a gambler now and like that movie because the bets were so unrealistic like even i even like the last bet i don't think was that unrealistic the tip was kind of the only crazy part of parlay um like the the one he puts in with francesa like the six team

the six bet parlay that was a little much but like people were like that's not real gambling and that pisses me off so much because people just want like when they see a movie and they're like oh i have a slight area of expertise or i have a slight knowledge of this topic if it's not flawless then fuck it like imagine being a doctor being like i can't like any doctor show or movie ever because that's not realistic i have a buddy who does that who is in the military and he but he can't watch military movies because he's like anybody who's ever like fired a gun you're gonna you're not gonna watch any war movie or cop movie where they shoot the gun sideways. All that shit.

I know that that's not real. I mean, I guess when you're trying to portray – I don't know, though. Do you think of that as a gambling movie? No. I think of it as like a hustler movie. Yeah. And the point is that he's a bad gambler. He's in debt.

He probably does do reckless things with his money. And maybe that one is a little gambler. He's in debt. He probably does do reckless things with his money. And maybe that one is a little bit far-fetched. But the idea was like he thought he had a fucking in because KG was there. That's not an average bet. It's a bet when you thought you had an inside track. Right. Yeah, I mean that doesn't even register in my brain because I don't place it that way. I hadn't even considered it.

It hadn't even crossed my mind. I guess if you really thought that this was going to be like the Gambler Manifesto movie and it's that, well, whatever. To me, like I love that Adam Sandler flexed on everyone. I love the anxiety of it all. The fact that there was like a sports – it's like a sports movie but not – it's also a guy who's lost his way trying to find it. And then, I mean, the ending was crazy to me. No spoilers, but it was a – I actually spoke out loud in the movie theater. Like I'm not the guy who yells at the screen.

It affected me to the point that I said words out loud. I had it spoiled for me, and I still loved it. Someone spoiled it. Wow. Fuck whoever did that. Huh? Fuck who spoiled that for you? The New York Magazine.

The New Yorker spoiled it for me. They had that interview. The one you gave a blind retweet to, when I was talking about Sam and the $200,000 country club and stuff, in it, they have a quote from him. It's actually, maybe Sandler spoiled it for me, because he gives a quote about the movie

that it's basically him talking about how he always selects roles for his legacy. I'm paraphrasing, obviously. But it's something along the lines of... What's up? Don't you spoil it now. No, I'm not going to. But he selects roles for his legacy

so that when his kids, when he's gone and his kids watch movies, they don't remember him like that. They want to remember him. He wants them to remember him as the fun guy. So he had to sit his kids down and be like, I'm not a fun guy in this movie. But it was much more detailed than that. And it was just like, dude, come on. What the hell? And I still loved it.

I mean, that's crazy that he did it. Crazy that they hell? And I still loved it. That's crazy that he did it. Crazy that they ran it the way they did it. That would have sucked. It is still a good movie, but that was such a great ending to me that would really piss me off. I was just thinking about him. He just

boggles the mind, even what you just said there. He's almost like, we talk about The Rock, how we're looking for The Rock to hear a bad story about him. And I'm like, I was thinking the other day, this dude's worth $420 million. We're not talking rich. We're talking mega rich. And we already spoke about his wife on an earlier podcast. She's in his movies here and there, she's like kind of removed from hollywood and he just lives this like completely cookie cutter

perfect life and i was like come on that can't be real it's like a guy who's got like fame and ego and 500 million dollars but he's but then i hear he still like sits his kids down to explain the movies and wants them to be like the lovable guy it's like, how is this fucking real life, man? How do people like that fucking even exist? It doesn't make sense to me. Dude, that movie reminded me, have you ever seen Flight? I've seen parts of it, but I saw your tweet saying that was the original, like, most anxious movie for you. Dude, because me, and this is probably, like, six, seven years ago, I was living in Boston. Me and my roommate watched it on a Sunday, like, kind of hungover.

And it was like, you know, you had the hangover anxiety already and then it was like dude just stop drinking please and that's what it's like messing up because he messed up in every single section of his life it's like just stop just stop gambling or stop cheating or stop like there's the stop hustling, stop, stop lying to absolutely. And it was like, just knock it off. Cause it's really, really like affecting me where I was like thinking, you know, kind of like, Oh, all right. Well, you know, he, he, he won the money, so we're good, but we have like an hour left. No, no. What are you doing? You know, there were so many moments where – and I guess to me that would be – that's probably an accurate portrayal of gambling addiction, right,

where it's just like you can't stop. Even the people watching are like, ah. But, I mean, that was – Did you know that was supposed to be Amari Stoudemire? Really? Interesting. He wouldn't cut his hair. It was supposed to be him, not KG. And it was going to be based on the Knicks playoff run that year.

Not playoff run, playoff series that year. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Amari Stoudemire has long hair now, and he wouldn't cut it to be, you know, the guy in the real time. Wow. That makes sense. I was wondering, because, like, he is such a Knicks fan, and, like, New York would make much more sense. I was wondering, because he is such a Knicks fan, and New York would make much more sense.

Even Amari Stoudemire, he's got that black Jew thing going on, so there would be... Ethiopian Jews would have worked. That's true. I didn't even think about that. You're right. So think about that.

That makes a lot more sense, without giving spoilers, but the way KG was like, this is speaking to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah a lot more sense with amari it worked with kg too because of ubuntu so they had their african connection as well but you're right yeah probably it's freak about like everything but that was very believable you know um like if it was like carmelo anthony i'd be like get the fuck out of there dude

yeah that that's interesting that would have made a lot more sense well i mean i'm sure it's some religious reason but goddamn amari come on he was awesome by the way i mean granted kg was playing kg so it's not the most difficult role but he was great he was still hard to like you know you could be playing yourself and still like you sound like you're just reciting lines and that kind of shit but yeah yeah that was unbelievable um i really would put it as one of my favorite movies ever i saw knives out oh that's so dope right awesome just like good movie fun just like that was out twice i saw my mom and my dad yeah that shit is so entertaining

like a whodunit but with like a different vibe to it a different twist like the way they actually do the whodunit. It's so funny too. There's so many like subtle, funny things in Knives Out, like how they never say she's from the same country. That's hilarious. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Paraguay, Ecuador.

Paraguay, Ecuador, Brazil. Like every time I talk about her, she's like, dad's Brazilian nurse, dad's Ecuadorian nurse. But the funniest line, and I still like, I was saying it like all break, is when Daniel Craig's like, what was that Nazi boar master making two in the bathroom? There's that accent. The foghorn leghorn shit would be great with him. I was trying.

I was like, all right, I'm going to, like, figure this movie out. I'm looking at all the clues. And even when I did, like, catch a clue, I wasn't able to, like, figure out what it meant. So meant so they did a great job of like hiding the mystery there uh I saw Star Wars that was pretty good which I think is a bad sign I think if like a casual fan like me like to me that was like a standalone movie and they hit you over the head with like here is the plot and here what here's what will happen if the bad guys win and here's how the good guys need to win it so I could just watch that movie and was entertained by it so I could just watch that movie and was entertained by it so i'd imagine if that was supposed to be like the finale of a 50-year

dynasty i feel like it would probably be a little bit disappointing but i haven't seen any star wars last star wars i saw was rogue one which i actually really liked because that's a standalone one yeah i saw the last one and i don't even remember it but i guess the last one they just like pretended it didn't happen in this one. Like, they, like, scrapped it. It was such a bad. Oh, yeah, because it went J.J. Abrams, and then I think it was Rian Johnson, the director of Knives Out, who directed 2.

Fuck you, yeah. Yeah, they went back to 8. I saw that. And then, at home, did you watch Don't Fuck With Cats? No, I haven't seen it. I've seen your tweets about it. I haven't seen it yet. I swear. I really think it's my favorite true crime out of the

Jinx and all the OG ones. You live in the moment with those, though. I remember you named what was the one where the dude blew his head off? Yeah, I know what you're talking about. Something about mouth, I think. Because it came out at the same time as Big Mouth.

Yeah, the pizza delivery guy blew his head off. You called that one better than the jinx in the moment. Did I? Yeah. And I remember we argued about it. We were like, come on, dude. That's crazy. Yeah, I mean, I don't even remember what the plot of that one was.

So that was crazy. This one was the best because it was like the – it felt like you were watching a movie. Like it felt like too good to be real life. It felt like a script. The amount of twists and turns in that. I can't believe I didn't know of the murder. I mean, I was in Canada, so it wasn't an American murder. It is

all-time villain. There's unintentional humor from the people doing, like, the investigation. These fucking losers. These internet losers, John. This chick goes by the name Body Movin', but she spells it B-A-U-D-I-M-o-o-v-a-n body moving that's like what but yeah no not not like that this girl was i would have absolutely hated her and her like

investigation partner if it wasn't for the fact that they were hunting down like the worst person to ever fucking live all-time villain all-time true crime. Shit's unbelievable. And then I watched the second season of You, which is the absolute worst show ever to get popular. It's so bad. I mean, it got canceled by Lifetime.

Lifetime. Lifetime wouldn't run it, and everyone's binging it on Netflix like, this is so great. I'm like, this show fucking sucks. It does have this odd, entertaining vibe it's

like it's like dexter meets like the cw11 you know like a like a that like a teeny like love story thing but there's also this ridiculous sociopathic murder involved uh i i was almost mad at myself for watching that and now i'm powering through Dark Witch. Oh, The Witcher? Worst show ever. That show. I've heard that. Unwatchably bad. And it got the, like, remember the Netflix treatment of a few years ago where it was like, if it's on Netflix, it's good? Yeah. Great.

That's kind of the vibe I got. Like, oh, it's a holiday. Everyone's home. They released this. It must be good. The Witcher, like Game of Thrones, fantasy type of thing. It's like you're watching The Adventures of Hercules with Kevin Sorbo, whatever his name is.

Like, so fucking, there's like, it's like fantasy, but, you know, Game of Thrones did a good job of, like, rooting it in reality. Right, right. This is like there's Minotaurs and Sylvan's running around, like, witches and giants. Same kind of video game, video game right yeah and that's the thing too is like if you didn't if you don't know the game or the backstory you probably you're not connected to it has there ever been a successful video game show or movie

uh i'm sure there has been i just can't think of one well the original super mario brothers was a classic uh doesn't the assassins movies do well i've never seen those I'm sure there has been. I just can't think of one. Well, the original Super Mario Brothers was a classic. Shout out to John Leguizamo. Doesn't the Assassin's movies do well? I've never seen those. I thought they only did one with – what's his name? Yeah, I'm picturing the commercials for the game because I know the game is big. Yeah, the game is impossible, by the way.

The game – when I had my Xbox stint probably like three or four years ago now, Assassin's Creed was one I got. And that was like – I mean every game I played on that was a reminder that I am not a video gamer. But that one in particular was like – I think I got to level three. Yeah, well, I would imagine Witcher is that way too. The show has like different timelines going on, but they don't tell you that. And it's sloppily done and i'm also not paying attention i thought it stunk some people were trying to push it on me i'm just like no this shit is trash and now i'm watching dark which is fucking awesome dude

dark is so awesome you got to get past the dubbing i know you don't like it you got to do it i'll try i'll try one more time i tried probably years ago because I think season one came out a long time ago. And I tried then. I don't think I got through episode one. It's got multiple storylines, but they do it well. They're in three different times. Great time travel shit. But, yeah, it's hard to watch.

I got the subtitles and then the German-English translation titles, if there's ever, like, signs on the screen. Words all over the fucking place. I'm in heaven doing it. So out to uh team subtitles i know my man trent is is one of those guys so i'm on trent's side there but i've also decided that is it's my destiny john i've decided that i'm gonna have to kill a midwesterner at some point and i think it's gonna have to be trent and don't you dare yeah no i'm gonna kill him and i'm gonna need like to have to be Trent. Don't you dare. Yeah, no, I'm going to kill him. And I'm going to need, like, a gun to do it. Don't get me wrong.

Like, Trent would beat the fuck out of me. But I'm going to kill Trent one day. That much I can guarantee you. And what sealed the deal this week, what put the nail in the coffin, was Ope. Ope. Who guys say Ope? What? I think I'm going to defend Ope.

I'm pretty sure I say Ope. All right. Let's talk say Ope. What? I think I'm going to defend Ope. I'm pretty sure I say Ope. All right. Let's talk about Ope. It's brought to you by LetGo. Right now, like I said, you look around my apartment, absolute catastrophe. I've got old toys that they're never going to play with. Now they got the new toys. I got the new clothes to replace the ones they grew out of.

I got baby stuff all over my apartment. I got no room for any of it. I got too many sneakers. I got too much stuff. Too much things I don't need anymore. I might even... You know what? I accidentally threw out the box to my Christmas tree, my fake Christmas tree.

So now I don't have anywhere to put it. I'm probably just going to throw this thing out and buy another one. Yeah, for sure. I was in crazy true crime mode. i come home and i look at the tree and all the ornaments are gone and i was like what the fuck and i'm in like true crime mode i'm like has someone been in here the lights are there there's no fucking ornaments left and i start freaking out and then i realized that keegan had just spun the tree around and i just never decorated the back of

it you never decorated the back oh my god i mean like it's still like halfway turned so like why would i decorate the back of this i mean like this little like fucking sunroom porch in the middle of the room yeah but no it's not look you have to be like behind there to see it no one ever goes back fucking here dude there's oh there's way too much space behind that tree to nothing no humans are ever behind there no there's look if it was if it was like kitty cornered if it was like right in the corner i'd give you i'd give you some leeway but is – there is so much room back there. You got to decorate the back. Fuck off.

Fuck you. So I thought – yeah, I thought that someone broke in and stole all the ornaments as a sign that they were going to come kill me. Turns out I was just lazy and didn't decorate the back of my tree. But anyway, if I'm going to be – I'm going to get rid of the tree. I'm going to get rid of the ornaments, get rid of the toys. I'm going to go on Letgo. It is the world's largest online marketplace to trade and buy and sell goods. So if you are – not trade, buy and sell goods.

So if you are moving in and you need to furnish your place with some nice stuff, maybe it's a little less expensive, you can get things from someone who's maybe moving out and trying to get rid of things or if you've got babies that are aging out of clothes or sneakers, whatever it may be, go to LetGo, the online marketplace, to unclutter your life, make some extra cash or save some cash by not paying. Bless you for stuff at the store. Go to LetGo today. Live and let go. Ope is not a thing.

I think it's a thing. I think, in fact, my argument here with with midwesterners is that um that we all do it yes that's what i mean it's not a thing because it's just like a word it's like trying to claim like hello so we all say hi it's not a midwest thing trent and so this all started because Shay said cramp. Cramp. That's crazy. Crazy.

And I'm like, she didn't used to. So someone at school got into her brain or something because she used to say crayons. So I'm drilling that back into her. And a lot of people said, oh, that's like a Midwest thing. Next thing you know, she's going to be saying, oh. And I was like, or they didn't even say that. just said like uh like she sounds like a midwesterner oh and i was just like okay i thought of it as like oh that's tough sounds like a midwesterner oh but then trent and ellie both independently tweet me about oakpe. And I said, what the fuck is Ope?

And they both tweet me again with the same exact phrase, Ope, let me just sneak right past you. And so I'm like, do you guys have a specific word in case you're trying to scoot past someone? Do you invent a whole word for the rare instances that you are just shuffling by someone and need to say, Ope? But then I hear that it's,

you know, it can mean anything. It's like the word fuck. It's versatile. You can say, Ope. It can mean I'm sorry. It can mean, oh my god. Yeah, we all do that. I think I just say, Ope. They said if you came around a corner and bumped into someone, what would you say? I'd probably be like, Ope! Right, it's O oh right it's oh i hope i mean maybe i don't hit the p but i think oh

well my i think i think of oak as almost a verbal a verbal uh version of the white person lip purse where like and you know you do the, you pull the lips in, you give the nod, and it's almost like, like, I don't think of that as hello. I think of that as, I'm sorry we made eye contact. We have to do something now. Let's not make this awkward. Right, like, and the,

it's like, oh, oh, oh, oh, I happen to be in your presence. We happen to be recognizing each other. This is awkward for both of us. Let's just purse our lips and nod. And I just of opa's like the verbal version of that brent the way he worded it was opa's like quote i accept part of the blame for the unfortunate situation that we found ourselves in i'm sorry about that that's open yeah that that's that's the like yeah i didn't mean to look at you let's keep it moving i don't have a conversation oh, that's the, like, yeah, I didn't mean to look at you. Let's keep it moving. I don't want to have a conversation.

Hope. Yeah, that's what, I think that's what it is. I'm not with you. Like, I don't think you can claim that as, like, your thing. Because someone told me that they invented nodding at someone in the hallway. Like, no, you fucking didn't, dude. That's a human reaction. Then the Kansas City Chiefs come out the next morning today as we're recording,

and they put out, what was it, like it's a Midwest thing, or that's how the Midwesterners do it? I forget what the exact word was. It's the Midwesterners, and it has the standings in the AFC, and when the Patriots lost and the Chiefs won and they swapped spots, it says, oh, let me sneak right past you, which Trent is digging in his heels and he's saying it's such a midwestern thing and that it is ubiquitous and everywhere you go in the midwest

that it's absolutely possible and plausible that the chiefs made an oak video today i say no fucking chance because while i'm not from the midwest and i and i you know i'm not around people who say this word i'm on the internet all the fucking time and i have never once seen a team make an oak video until now so yeah maybe i don't live in the midwest but i would have seen fucking oak okay yeah that's i mean that's just like their social media manager is a stoolie and they suck there's there's no chance they just happen to do that zero so ope might be becoming a midwest thing like right now because you guys claimed it but this is just a word that humans say when they get surprised by something it's like it's like saying they invented uh soda because they go pop because they call it pop like no you just say something different it's the same thing i electing. I have to remind myself often, and actually this fits in perfectly with what you just went through.

I have to remind myself often that we've done everything on the internet. I've done the arguments about every single pronunciation of every word in the English language. Done the dialect differences. You call it pop and you call it this. But there's always like new people coming out or coming into their own on the internet who still have yet to go through those arguments and debates. Like I say every day, somewhere right now,

there's someone on the internet learning for the first time that people wipe their ass standing or sitting. Yeah. What they do. And when you first learn that, it blows your fucking mind. And then it's like, all right, we know that now. But I got to remind myself that there are people who really want to still have that argument and that debate. Well, let me tell you something, John.

The deodorant has – it blew my mind like the wiping blew my mind. The people who wipe – who put the deodorant on, so when you said they turn it sideways, right? I'm a little dark here on the screen, but you said that they turn it sideways and then go like this? I think they don't. I think they still go up and down. I said I would cosign or understand if you go sideways. I think they're still going up and down i said i would cosign or understand if you go sideways yeah i

think they're still going up and down but a credit card swipe basically your armpit no i mean it's absolutely like they're no it's wrong there's a right way and a wrong way and the right way to get like the actual armpit area covered by the deodorant is to go perpendicular and up and down yeah anybody who does the opposite it's i don't think it's as crazy if they're going horizontal i won't think it's as crazy because it is you're basically doing the same thing you're basically you're right but it is like it's like brushing your teeth with your left hand like i tried to do it in the morning and i was like oh my no absolutely not i can't do this about Hubs saying he just does it one-handed?

Does that? He only uses one hand. So one arm will go crossbody, one hand will go. So he's like a righty with his deodorant or whatever. Yeah. You know what the thing is? I feel like maybe, Hubs, you can probably do this too because you don't sweat. I feel like girls can just give like one swipe and you're done.

I got to fucking cover that shit up. I gotta inject it with Botox. Yeah. I mean, I, I, I've done medical procedures to stop the sweating. So a little one handed swipe ain't going to get the job done.

Uh, but yeah, that was, that was another internet moment where I was like, Holy fucking shit. Uh, so where are we at then we got um this is the one episode this week uh everybody will be back in the office on thursday

back in action i i don't know if i will be we'll see about that well right right i mean the office resumes on thursday 2020 coming in hot dude do, do you know what I wanted to talk about real quick? Is the, I realized something in almost, go ahead. John has a realization brought to you by Simmons. Now, if maybe it is the holidays and maybe someone is going to break into your house, steal all the ornaments off their tree and leave without touching anything and put this seed of doubt in your mind that you're being stalked and hunted and that there's a Luca Magnata type serial killer who's ready to come kill you.

It was kind of like earlier when I was saying, like, the even though you're older, you think you're a different thing. This was the one where, like, I was like, I'm old, and this is a stressful thing now. Have you noticed just with your interactions now that you go about grading them? Like, like, like that's what I take the most joy from in my life is like, like,

I'm still thinking I'm still like, what's getting me out of bed every day is like, I crushed a conversation four days ago. What an awful way to live you can't have a conversation anymore without worrying about your performance yeah well it's like like i was thinking about like when i was a kid and it was you just interact with people and then you went about your day and and like there's always been the times where like i think anyone with like anxiety or social awkwardness whatever always thinks about the ones they messed up you're always like shit i was like that was weird i was awkward and like that's that's been a forever constant for me joke of kind of like

yeah i just you know i just had an awkward interaction i'll be thinking about that to the day i die right right right and it's true but i also now I remember the good ones. And I'm like. Good way to be, actually. Yeah. It was, dude, I was, I saw my friend who passed away. We always, his birthday is Christmas. And so we always go, like, have dinner with his family and stuff like that. And around Christmas, not on Christmas.

And I was with his dad and his brother. And I was. christmas not on christmas and i was with his dad and his brother and i was and i was driving home and i was like holy shit i nailed that i mean i was on absolute fire it's like it's been the highlight of my holiday break that like it's like it's so weird to think about that like things like that stick with you now where it used to be like you just live life and now it's like it's a hugely important part of it and i'm oh my god i was on fire i've thought about it in terms of like because we do this we have conversations for a living for a profession so i'll step out of a podcast and be like oh yeah like we were on fire today we killed that but that's because we're putting something out there i'll do if i was if i'm on like a date or if I'm talking to a girl or hitting on a girl or something like that and everything's flowing, I'll take note of that. I don't think I'm thinking about like if I had a conversation with people that I know.

I mean I guess you kind of were doing something a little special. Are you like grading conversations you have like with guys at the office? Oh, yeah. Yeah? Yeah. You'll talk to hubs and then be like fucking nailed it with that conversation it's usually um 99 of the time it's a that was pretty weird um but that's not that's not specific to okay so it makes sense but so like the work conversations

are more like oh that was fucking terrible and And then in your social life is where you're having your home run walk-offs. They're rare. I'm like, God, I'm trying to think of a comp. You're like an Adam Dunn type, strike out a million times, but you have 40 bombs? That one was too easy. I was trying to think. I think like, what was it? Like Boban.

Remember Boban's like PER is like something absurd. He just can't play 48 minutes. Like that's what I am. It's like if you get me in. And one of the reasons I think I did so well at that one, the one I'm referencing, is I couldn't stay for the full dinner. So I couldn't stay for two drinks., so I couldn't stay for two drinks. I needed to let the fucking chopper fly, and I was like,

all right, I'm out. I was very much Gustafson, where it's like, okay, here we go. We got 45 minutes or a half hour, empty the tank, and then you can get back to the car and recharge. There's a there's a seinfeld reference for everything but that is one of the best ones it's like it's like what dave was

saying about uh you know he could have gone on the boat with kendall jenner and he would have had her in a in a captive audience and he would have emptied the tank like you said and i feel like all of us and all the guys who are successful at barstool i feel like are pretty confident or at least should be in the in that setting if you can put me in front of somebody where they are are happy to be there and they'll actually interact and i can do my thing we'll walk away friends i almost guarantee it i guarantee maybe not friends but you won't be like oh my god that guy was at the party holy shit we'll be a good time that's what that's excel. That's our, like, Hall of Fame talent is just being conversationalists. And I enshrined myself this time.

I was going to say, and then, you know, when you put yourself in the Hall of Fame, holy shit, John. But it's like – This is 2020. We're going to be happy boys, bro. No more sad boy. We're going to be happy boy, John. You're a good conversationalist, man.

You knocked it out of the park i'll be honest i said that for 2019 that 2019 was mental health year i fell short uh 2020 it is baby no you know what 2019 was i feel like 2019 was mental health year in what you just said um earlier in the podcast you're acutely aware of the problems. You just fix them. So 2019 was becoming fully aware of all your shortcomings and problems. 2020 is going to be we're going to put into action.

We're going to fix those problems. Okay. I like that. So basically what I'm saying is 2020 is the year of therapy. I got my guy. I got my guy. I just haven't seen him.

I am 100% going to full-blown therapy in 2020 i promise you that it has reached an absolute breaking point where i was i was such a wreck during the holidays it's almost like i said to wrap things up to bring it back to the beginning the patriots like if you're gonna be bad i'd rather like bottom out so that i have this this new perception that was the holidays i was such a fucking wreck that I started, like, laughing at one point, every movie I saw, all the emotional moments, I'm somehow, somehow I'm relating myself to fucking Adam Sandler and being in gambling debt, everybody was dying, I'm worried about, everybody, everybody's family, I'm, I'm comparing to mine, I was like weeping. It was so bad

that I was like, bro, it is absolutely time for therapy. Fuck the holidays. Get out of 2019. Give me the fucking therapist and let's fix this shit. It has never been more blatantly apparent. So yeah, 2020, year

of therapy. Let's go, baby. Let's do it. Let's lock in. Fifth pound. Boom. Dap it up of therapy. Let's go, baby. Let's do it. Let's lock it in. Fist pound. Boom. Dap it up. Dap it up. All right.
