Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, KFC Radio listeners, you can find every episode of KFC Radio on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. I respect that. She immediately just goes, no, no, no. And they stood up and walked to the pilot, and then I was off the plane 25 seconds later. You know? seconds later. What timing. I didn't even do this on purpose,
Starting point is 00:00:45 but it makes it all the more dramatic. It's Owen's final day of Barstool Sports Literally in here with the box full of shit Ready to walk out of the building One last thing What did you need to bring in? Everyone here has a desk full of trash Yeah I had just An outrageous amount of framed pictures
Starting point is 00:01:02 For some reason It's all just like framed pictures of my friends and stuff yeah it was upstairs but i never used it i never sat upstairs yeah what i just had a desk upstairs with 30 frames pictures of my friends and family did you come in one day being like i'm'm going to put up pictures of my mom, my family, and then you never did it? Yeah. That's fucking hilarious. You have to be the only person at Barstool Sports who had that down.
Starting point is 00:01:32 Yeah, probably. That's such a... How many people who walked by that desk... That's like a Stephen Che move. That's not an Owen move. It was outrageous. That is so fucking funny, man. How many people who you think walked by that desk every day knew who you were?
Starting point is 00:01:43 They were just like, what the fuck? 11%? Were you just walk by that desk every day knew who you were they were just like what the fuck 11 percent were you just surrounded by other other uh business people uh no it ended up being social people around there oh yeah socials that makes more sense i forgot socials okay yeah that makes a lot more sense upstairs became this place of like yeah stairs right it's like it's like by the short bus It's retarded or something It's on the third floor It's good timing On your way out Because you got this unbelievable opportunity now Also KFC Radio
Starting point is 00:02:15 What got me into Barstool So that is My I guess I'll call it a regret It's not like a regret It's just my biggest like miss. I didn't know that until like six months ago. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:02:32 I think you told me you DM'd me something or I finally just – you DM'd me something and I saw it and I scroll up and from like years ago was a DM from you. Because when you start – I didn't know that so you started yeah and unfortunately for better or worse something i'm trying to hopefully change here eventually like at barstool when you're in one camp you're just like not in another and it's kind of everybody sticks to themselves and so i was just like oh owen's on the yak and i find out that it was like originally a kfc radio thing and i just didn't fucking know not even like camps i think it's just so hard everybody's just working so hard for like each person they're producing for that which is a good thing you throw the retweets to the side but it's like you're really pushing whoever you're working for the it's hard but uh but yeah fucking hey what uh what uh i mean i would
Starting point is 00:03:20 have i would have bounced one of these boats i'm other here in a second. Jackie, pack your bags. But, yeah. So how did that? Let's talk about that. How much do you love KFC Radio? When did that start? Is this turning into the first episode of the Dave Portnoy Show? No, no, no. Was it?
Starting point is 00:03:33 No, not Dave Portnoy Show. No, it was, yeah. No, it wasn't called the Dave Portnoy Show. It's called Dave Portnoy Show now. Oh, it was called the Podfather. The Podfather. With Jack Eichel on it. Jack Eichel.
Starting point is 00:03:41 And it was, dude, I remember this. And Jack Eichel was, like, it at the time. Jack Eichel was when he first got drafted. I think he was, like, this. Jack Eichel was like it at the time. When he first got drafted. I think he was like the first overall pick. I don't think he'd played a game for the Sabres yet. He was just like he was in the first overall. Maybe it was in the middle of his rookie year. I forget exact timing.
Starting point is 00:03:53 And we were still at the Milton office. And I was sitting at the bottom of the steps. And I heard like the start of the interview. I heard the whole interview. And it was just the whole time they'd be like, so how much do you love Barcelona? And Eichel would be like, it's great, man. He'd be like, yeah, but like. Tell me be like so how much do you love barcelona i could be like it's great man he'd be like yeah but like tell me about that how much do you love me like it was like i i don't know if those interviews are still up if that feed's still up but the first episode of the pod father is whatever the fuck a blog father whatever the
Starting point is 00:04:19 fuck it was called was just dave being asking michael how much he loves it was unbelievable how old were you um so i was a sophomore in high school and i started working a summer job and you guys must have been doing it for like a year already um it was probably 2014 yeah and so i got to just listen to like 150 in a row at work that summer. So you probably, I mean, I don't know if you kept up listening, but you, you heard all.
Starting point is 00:04:49 I'm going to guess. Oh yeah. No, I've listened to, no, I've listened to every episode. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Still. Oh, I'll say everything. No, I swear to God. That's great. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:57 I appreciate it. That's wild. And had I fucking seen that DM. I know. No, but that's why this is one of my things I would say things worked out pretty well for you. Yeah, we'll see. But no, that's why this is one of my favorites.
Starting point is 00:05:10 I feel like there's so many different eras of it. I mean... Which makes it like the actual podcast, you know? Cockroaches is an understatement. They've tried to get rid of us a couple of times. Nope, can't kill me like that. Very ironic considering it's, you know, you and me. You can't kill us.
Starting point is 00:05:33 But so for people that, I can at least say where you're going, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Owen got a gig being the producer for the Tim Dillon Show. Not a big deal. I mean, not a big deal. Fucking enormous deal that, you know i i would say uh it's been characterized as like it kind of fell out of the sky but not really like these things happen for a reason and yeah like i mean it's a we were talking about doing uh there's stuff that we're talking about doing like bigger picture
Starting point is 00:06:01 behind the scenes stuff here and i was talking to you about that and fucking you know so if i'm talking and tim took notice like yeah you were doing shit with dan and the yak like it you know it happens the three pretty big names to be right yeah reaching out to you it's a weird it's a weird combination of everything it was like complete luck and timing but then there's also an aspect where i'm like oh oh shit, I was working really hard on this for a couple years and maybe, I don't know, not manifesting, manifesting, so sure, gay. But I don't know. Something worked out. Yeah, no, I mean, that is how it works.
Starting point is 00:06:36 You gotta get lucky, but if you get lucky and you're not doing anything with it. Yeah, it helps if when you got lucky, you happen to be prepared for it. Right, right. That's the old corny, what is it? When success meets
Starting point is 00:06:48 preparation, it equals opportunity. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's one of those fucking posters that you got in fourth grade. I promise you, I don't know about
Starting point is 00:06:53 any of that shit. I had posters of Patrick Waugh when I was in fourth grade. Really? Well, nobody had those posters. It was like put up in school. Oh, oh, oh. If you had one of those
Starting point is 00:07:02 motivational posters in your house, kill yourself. Oh, with like the sailboat? Wait, my word. It just says it in sans. If you had one of those motivational posters in your house, kill yourself. Like the sailboat? Mine were motivational posters, but they were regular posters that I turned into motivational posters. They actually weren't. You'd write on them? Yes.
Starting point is 00:07:18 What? Yes. You had a Patrick Waugh poster and you would write a motivational quote on it? Every single poster. Kill yourself. Was it a motivational quote? I guess it was. Yeah poster. Kill yourself. That wasn't a motivational quote. I guess it was. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is a – Actually, I didn't use it for motivation.
Starting point is 00:07:30 So when I was in middle school, Drew Bledsoe, who was the Patriots quarterback at the time, came to Morton Middle School in Fall River, Massachusetts, and he stood on stage and he was talking about his rise to fame and how he got to who he was and blah, blah, blah. No idea he was about to get and he told a story about how when he was a kid he was so dedicated that he wrote on every poster in his childhood bedroom god and you i i will be in the nfl one day oh no right and so i went home such a bad thing to tell the kids so i went home and i wrote i will be in the nhl one day on every single one of my posters and then oh good for you for switching it's nhl i thought you were gonna be
Starting point is 00:08:11 writing it no i knew where i was gonna all right all right and then i just got in bed and i was like now i just wait i thought that was it i was like years like done deal baby 10 years i'm gonna be drafted by the bros it's gonna be sick yeah no but i mean you you made it a point i feel like to be like very involved in the comedy world and you knew your shit about comics you were as crazy as it sounds just like being out there i i feel like in the in the comedy world like just going to the clubs and yeah being around people. You grab a beer with somebody afterwards or you just quickly get an intro or whatever it may be. It's such an incestual and tight-knit. Yeah, that was another thing.
Starting point is 00:08:55 I didn't realize I had been networking, but me and Michael Greer were just stationary groupies for the traveling comics coming to New York We would just be there like fourth row every time And then they're like oh yeah Decent guys What was um, how old you know 23. I'm turning 24, like, this weekend. Oh!
Starting point is 00:09:26 Fucking happy birthday, bro. Why'd you have to look at your phone for that? I was checking what time it was. Like, were you going to say, like, your exact birth time? Like, turn 24 in, like, an hour 15, I think. What was, was there, I want to say, like, was there there a plan b but was this even a plan a or did this all just like how did how did it all come about even like no i mean my plan a was oh barstool like all of it yeah like like yeah oh shit no not at all um so i was a finance major and i just like
Starting point is 00:10:00 loved barstool and just consumed all your shit and And I was like, oh, that's so fun that they do that. And then pandemic hits. There's no jobs for anybody, including, oh, I graduated 2020. Perfect. Yeah. I mean, start here until 2020? No. It feels like five years.
Starting point is 00:10:21 I agree. Yeah. Well, the pandemic fucks with everybody's timeline a little bit. But also just, I think, your presence. You're around a lot you're very right very i mean i i liked you i hung out with you so like that makes a little more like i would spend time with you outside of work yeah i would guess much earlier than that but so i graduated and since there was no jobs for finance there was like no rush to get one right so I had like kind of this window to prove myself to barstool and get hired here before I had to like go try and get that finance job.
Starting point is 00:10:50 I was about to say you got fucked if you graduated then. And in many, many, many ways you did. But if you look at it like, I don't think so. I think like we got an insane opportunity. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:10:59 If you looked at it as like, this will be here. Well, maybe hopefully it will be here when everything comes back and then I'll do what i planned but in the meantime it's like a flag on the play like throw it deep you know yeah like no i mean we'll give it a shot for right kevin look at you doing sports and very good sports but yeah you might as well take it no yeah for a million reasons covid like fucking ruled i actually think it's up to a million reasons covid like fucking ruled it was actually up to a million and a hundred thousand yeah i say it all the time it wasn't for the widespread mass scale death
Starting point is 00:11:32 the pandemic was 10 out of 10 would do again the beginning oh i watched the wire for the first time i had never seen it i had never gotten around to it. I did too, and I still am. I was like... It was great. It was awesome. People get so mad. They get so mad.
Starting point is 00:11:58 People get mad at me on the internet about a lot of stuff. I think for its time, it was probably the only thing that had ever shot it that way. Re-watching it now, it's like, oh, all right. My dad would beg me and my brother to come finish like season one. I'm not talking about the whole show. Yeah, you couldn't even. We got like four episodes in and me and my brother were like, we're going to go watch TV in the other room.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Yeah. Come on, guys. Let's like, come on. And I want to like it. It's not like I'm going into it. That wasn't my first time trying. I probably tried three times. Because I don't like the two. Everybody gets upset. I don not like I'm going into it. That wasn't my first time trying. I probably tried three times. Because I don't like the two.
Starting point is 00:12:27 Everybody gets upset. I don't like The Sopranos. I don't like The Wire. Sopranos is good. Sopranos, I know I am not going to like. You just don't like Italians. I don't like Italians. I really don't.
Starting point is 00:12:36 I'm not into the mob shit as much as the rest of the world is. So I knew that was never going to be my thing. The Wire, those shows I liked. The fucking one with Jon Bernthal, I liked. And that's what The Wire fucking is. But whatever they did that everybody else seems to like is just not for me. But there was a time where I was afraid to say that.
Starting point is 00:12:55 I was like, uh... There was a time you were afraid to say something? Well, no, I shouldn't say that. I mean, yeah, I've never, obviously, with my big mouth. Kevin Long's got a bullhorn going, fuck the Godfather! That's what I mean, yeah, I've never obviously with my big mouth, but Kevin walks out with a bullhorn going, fuck the Godfather! That's what I mean. There's like, the things that I've been most afraid to say
Starting point is 00:13:12 are silly things. I wish I was the opposite, to be honest. I wish I was spouting off about TV more, and rather than some of the horrendously offensive shit I have said. I'm trying to think the present day I don't like the wire would be just I voted for Trump or something. I don't even know the equivalent. Get a red hat present day i don't like the wire would be just i voted for trump or something i don't even know the equivalent get a red hat says i don't like the wire yeah that's the both fucking worlds right there so so that's cool though so you like also
Starting point is 00:13:37 though barcelo was like not barcelo at the time you're not it's not you were really able to come into an office and do all the shit that we were doing so you were what like let me just help out uh yeah remotely i was a viceroy in college got it uh the friars by the way not a good job of it i got an email from the whatever it's called now this morning because i was subscribed to the dunk the dunk uh email yeah now it's like the fucking link insurance or some shit and i was like as soon as i, now it's like the fucking Link Insurance or some shit. And I was like, as soon as I saw that, it's like I still want to know game time and stuff like that. I unsubscribed.
Starting point is 00:14:10 Because of the name change. Yeah, it's not a Dunkin' Donuts anymore. If that's not a marketing research right there for you, don't fucking do it. Yeah, if they don't change it back, I'm going to take a single post-grad course at Fairfield and consider myself a stag from here on out. Not calling it the dunk who are you
Starting point is 00:14:27 you know you guys gotta do you think you are yourselves to the fucking floor throw some soup on it be like keep it the dunk did you see the people that were arguing it's the perfect protest no god because they're like it didn't harm anybody it got all the uh i don't know i mean who knows i'm not an artist i'm not an artist in the protest world i saw the aftermath of the girl there are people in england right now wait i'm sorry i interrupted you in the middle she the girl was just like we knew that it wasn't gonna harm the painting we knew it was covered in glass like that's the dirty little secret nobody these things are fucking protected right you can't just touch the actual painting you think they would
Starting point is 00:15:03 just let humans like that? You morons. But the glue thing, I feel like it should be like, well, we're ripping you off then. We're going to rip you off the ground. I don't know. Don't fucking glue yourself to our shit. You're trespassing or whatever. We reserve the right, and I'm all for it.
Starting point is 00:15:21 But I feel like it's like, well, they won't do that to us. You know what's a really quick way to stop this glue fad? Leave somebody with no palms. You see who did it? The fucking, who did it at Starbucks recently in New York? The babe guy. I wouldn't call him the babe guy, but yes. Who would you call?
Starting point is 00:15:36 I would call him. Dude with a sign? Who? The dude from Babe. He's referencing the movie Babe with the pen. Yeah. With the pen. He's been in like a thousand other movies.
Starting point is 00:15:47 A thousand movies. But Babe is not it. That'll do, pig. He's in like... He's gotta be in. Let me get one more of those. That'll do, pig. That'll do.
Starting point is 00:15:59 And then he shoots it in the fucking head. I mean, I guess the fact that I can't. Dude, that's got to be our suicide note. That'll be a pick. Bro, this guy. Oh. Yeah. I know.
Starting point is 00:16:14 I was going to say, I'm proving myself. I can't name another fucking movie. No, he's a look. You look at him. You go, I know that guy. Okay, let's. James Cromwell is an American actor and activist. Some of his best-known films include...
Starting point is 00:16:28 Bane! Bane! The first fucking one! God damn it! No, I know he's in many other things. He was in Secretariat, The Queen, The Artist, Jurassic World. That's probably what I most recently saw in Jurassic World. Jurassic World.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Fallen Kingdom. He was like a bad guy, I think. He was like fucking his daughter or some shit. Star Trek. But all right, you know what? bad guy, I think. He was like fucking his daughter or some shit. Star Trek. Alright, you know what? This guy has not been in many good movies. He's 6'7". Damn. He must have been the cock and balls in Secretariat.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Oh, no. This is what I know him from. He is Logan Roy's brother in Succession. And that's where everyone most recently saw him. I only have seen that. But that's... You haven't seen Succession? I've seen like the first season.
Starting point is 00:17:15 You gotta watch it, bro. What do you mean? It's fucking great to show on TV right now. All right. So anyway. That's probably New Wire. Yeah. Succession.
Starting point is 00:17:23 That is New Wire. If you don't get it they're like why don't you get it the greatest show of all time was like it's got like two seasons it's good but like we got to see where it fucking goes you know it's it's like uh i don't think it's like reinventing the wheel no billions already exist right i was gonna say this is just like uh mogul talk really you know um so it's pandemic you're vice roy and you went out um i interviewed here in february of 2020 uh got denied like while i was in the building which was funny i thought it was funny i interviewed on like the third floor and then by the time i was at the second floor
Starting point is 00:18:00 i had like an email like no thank you shut the fuck up yeah from who sent it do you think dude i think katie stats but we're good we're good now we're good now we're good now but uh but i but she also introduced me to jack mccarthy okay uh and i met him and got in a meeting room with him and talked to him about the sports book and that's how i ended up working for him like from home for those like six to nine months before i came in it's about just getting yeah like one person you know he was the head of like gambling social and then pendio blindsides everyone right and all of a sudden he's the head of gambling social for a gambling company so he needed like a lot of fucking hands on deck. And yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:48 I also ended up becoming best friends with him. Which ruled and got the job. Well, after I got the job. It is bizarre the amount of people here who are successful who were fired at first. I hate to be corny about it, but
Starting point is 00:19:03 that's an all-timer where it's like i got fired i got i guess i didn't get a job before i left the building you yeah you didn't but like i got rejected before i left the building look at me now is fucking awesome yeah i yeah looking back almost like a brilliant move by katie like just like just to motivate him she was just like holding my forehead out while i was trying to run forward and i was just like work harder and it worked yeah um so did you actually you read the email in the stairwell oh yeah oh no way bro that's gotta be demoralizing as well and then what got to the amtrak oh no because you're from long island i keep thinking you're from providence
Starting point is 00:19:40 yeah um yeah i was living in providence but but I went back to Long Island for that. Also, I was in a suit, which was so dumb. You know, I never know. It's confusing. I think it's a smart play because it's like you can never be over – you can be overdressed, but for the most part, you can't be overdressed. But also, the job listing was so vague that I was like, I don't know what I'm going for.
Starting point is 00:20:03 I mean, Barstool, i think we probably do it now but like no now it's super specific now it's like because we have all departments and everything yeah but back then it was just like job do you want you know we will pay you do stuff place man um that's funny though to think of you like coming in in a suit and probably have one that's like leather. James, a cross from Fasoli. Fasoli. Yeah. You were both waiting? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Dude, that is fucking wild. I mean, I'll tell you this much. If I got a rejection letter as I'm walking out and I see Fasoli get one in, oh my God. What the fuck? You kidding me? I might, well no, I definitely wouldn't, but someone, someone who's got more balls than me might turn around and go upstairs and get me talking to you didn't think about it
Starting point is 00:20:49 I'm still in the building so do you think you bombed? oh yeah I like always bomb I think some people yeah, I think some people have learned that my bombing is charming.
Starting point is 00:21:07 I don't know. I hope. No, I was just super nervous. And I don't think, I also, I was pitching myself like for the sports book role without knowing it. Like I was interviewing for the viceroy position, which like I didn't want to do. Yeah. So I think. How were you pitching yourself for the sports referral?
Starting point is 00:21:27 I think I was just making... I think I knew they had just gotten bought by Penn, so I kind of shifted my whole pitch to be kind of gambling focused. Smart. So it worked out and it didn't. Just come in and be like, I gamble. You have a job. Do you know what a unit is?
Starting point is 00:21:44 Welcome to Barstool Sports. Do you know what a unit is? Welcome to Barstool Sports Do you? Can you talk? It's so awkward None of us know It's this Fugazi metric The fuck? I was talking to this guy recently.
Starting point is 00:22:09 I was talking to this guy who basically, he signed up for like a financial analyst version of Stu Feiner, basically. Like, we hit you with two picks, like very limited number of stocks. It was mostly like crypto, Bitcoin shit. But like, we're going to tell you when to buy it and when to sell it. And like,
Starting point is 00:22:28 we're going to get in and out. Just dumb it down. Yeah. And, and you know, everybody's always making money and all that shit. But he was showing me on his phone, at least I was like,
Starting point is 00:22:35 these guys don't miss. And he was like, yeah. And he started describing it as picks. Like he was like, these analysts sell you picks. And I was like, you know,
Starting point is 00:22:43 I know some other guys would do that. Yeah. And they'll do it very well. Like, it works, but they don't ever, it never works out. It's one of the funniest things to watch from a distance. It's just like, wait, none of you guys are making money. Okay, whatever. You'll all just keep betting whatever each other says.
Starting point is 00:23:00 It's fucking wild. Yeah, everybody's doing the same thing. Did you ever apply, like, directly here and we said no because i'll be upset to kfc yeah no okay no what would you what would how would you pitch yourself for this oh i think i showed uh i think i showed john a notes app one time that i had written in like 2014 well i showed it to to you a couple years ago when we were out in Boston, but I was going to bring you your favorite lemon chicken that you were ranting and raving about at the time.
Starting point is 00:23:31 The chicken that I used to get at the spot on Fifth Avenue. That ranch chicken I ate like a thousand days in a row. It was so good. That was a problem. That's just me, man. I'm doing it right now with chili. I've had chili like six nights in a row dude i had tacos 48 like 48 nights in a row i think during the pandemic oh yeah i'm fully just streaks all right whatever because i don't beat it to the ground and then
Starting point is 00:23:53 you get sick of it and then you'll grab it in like 11 months and be like oh my favorite food i forgot about you oh yeah i forgot oh yeah this is. I went to an Irish pub yesterday to watch the Liverpool game, and it was like lunch hour or happy hour. Also, that whole saga was incredible to follow. That was a lot. I was also doing a no sleep thing. Really? So it was kind of like I was in it with you.
Starting point is 00:24:21 What does that mean? You were not sleeping? Yeah. Oh, wait. You got a story to tell yeah i went to la and then to vegas and then like couldn't get into my hotel so i slept in the sports book but couldn't fall asleep so i was also just awake following you and i was like yeah it's funny to think that we're both awake Boys being boys Sleeping in a sports book Stumbling drunk around London Mom said we could never
Starting point is 00:24:50 They said I had to grow up But we were gonna have you on last week And you texted me Sorry can't do it Getting kicked off an airplane I was like Yeah I'll tell them again
Starting point is 00:25:02 So you see these things Like the disposable like nicotine I'm just like super addicted to them which is like what a lame thing it's like let me take out my turquoise coat
Starting point is 00:25:17 yeah no no like it just makes me look so bad all the time I'm such a nerd when it came to like cigarettes and stuff because i i i mean cigarettes look cool as fuck i do get yeah but is that why but that doesn't look cool no it looks the opposite so why did you start that or you started cigarettes and you're trying i was actually i was packing dip got it and i switched to like jewel and this actually when i got this job. Because I was like, even though it's this job, I'm like, I'm not trying to show up to an office and be spitting.
Starting point is 00:25:48 Yeah. It's fucking disgusting what you animals do. Yeah. Did. Did. Yeah. I'm like a year and a half clean. I know you are.
Starting point is 00:25:55 You are. The fact that people would just have like a bottle of brown spit and just sit there with it. That's too much. I was doing it in the pandemic, but like I'm working from my bedroom. Yeah. So I switched to like Juul and eventually this. But yeah, you look terrible. and just sit there with it. That's too much. I was doing it in the pandemic, but I'm working from my bedroom. So I switched to Juul and eventually this. When we first got here, we were just doing full-on meetings with other people.
Starting point is 00:26:13 We'd be with Erica, but there would also be someone else in an interview. Me and Koli would have our feet up. What would you do if you worked here? What are you guys, fucking cowboys from the West or something? No one said no. No one ever said don't do that. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:28 So I was like, why not do it? But, you know, there should probably be a general understanding about human nature. A hundred percent there should be, dude. But guess what? I shouldn't have been in that fucking meeting to begin with. I should have been at my desk alone dipping right in a blog. Yeah. That is true. That is true.
Starting point is 00:26:41 So, unfortunately, I'm addicted to these fucking portable cocks. But, so, I sit in my seat, and it's the last row of the plane. Second to last row of the plane, I'm on the window seat. The two to the left center and aisle are empty for now. I sit down, and I'm jamming my stuff in. I turn, and I sneak one of these. Oh, no. Just against the window.
Starting point is 00:27:04 And as I'm turning to put it in The two people are sitting down next to me It's um Oh wait it was like passengers That saw you? Yeah yeah yeah passengers Like narcs? Oh my god
Starting point is 00:27:17 It's a super uh Are you still allowed to say overweight? Sure They were fat as fuck. But... They had the audacity to get upset at you. Yeah, so they sat down. Dude, they must...
Starting point is 00:27:33 You should have been like, yo, it's not going to get any better than me. For real. I'm the best fucking seatmate in the world. Unfortunately, so the guy sits down next to me. He's a big, big, big fella. And so does the woman. And she's got a blanket big fella and so does the woman and she's got a blanket on and i can't tell if she's just big or if there's also a kid on baby uh that's a bad spot
Starting point is 00:27:52 to be in life if you can't tell if there's a human yeah but then he sits down and immediately turns me and says are you really gonna are you really gonna smoke in front of my child so then i was like oh so that is a baby. And I was like, oh, God. And I'm just breaking down. I'm like, no, no, no, I didn't see you. I'm so sorry. I'm putting this away. He calls over a stewardess. Get the fuck out of here.
Starting point is 00:28:16 And this is you coming home from Vegas? No, I'm going to LA to go see Tim for the first time since I've got this job. He's supposed to pick me up. No way! He's supposed to pick me up. No way! He's supposed to pick me up from the fucking airport, dude. By the way, wild that Tim's still doing that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:32 I think there's a lot of things that Tim retired from. I can't believe that. Makes sense. So the stewardess comes over and I'm just like, listen, listen, take it, take it. I got through security with it. I was putting it in my pocket and she's like, were you heading out? I was like, no, no, I didn't see them.
Starting point is 00:28:49 Take it. And she's like, all right. And then I have headphones on. I'm not listening to anything. You think you're clear? Yeah. The stewardess goes away, but I don't put my music back on because I'm listening to them talk. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:02 Smart. Yeah. Ended up not being smart so they're just continuing to like kind of shit talk me and oh also you got mouthy yeah but also i i uh missed an important part when they first sat down they sat down by like barreling into me off my like arm chest arm rest to wipe everything down so they wiped down the entire seat aisle ceilings everywhere they wiped everywhere down so they're very uh concerned about the germs in the baby rightfully so um but then i'm hearing i'm listening to them just
Starting point is 00:29:38 complain about uh all that shit cleanliness and me and they're like I can't believe we have to sit next to him and then I was like maybe maybe the iPad you're resting on the baby's temple isn't helping either no way yes because she was watching TV on an iPad
Starting point is 00:29:58 rested on the baby on her stomach and so I said maybe the iPad on the temple isn't helping either. Like baby's head, I put the iPad here and I'm watching.
Starting point is 00:30:09 Yes, yes. As they're cleaning, as they're cleaning everything down with wipes, they're cleaning everything down with wipes, they're yelling at me for, to be fair,
Starting point is 00:30:18 smoking in front of their child. By accident. Not even though. By accident. It was a tiny vaping and I was facing the other way and it was done by the time they were settled ining I was facing the other way and it was done by the time they were settled in
Starting point is 00:30:26 and I was switching it's not like you were like right but yeah open its mouth open its mouth maybe bring a shotgun
Starting point is 00:30:32 so after they settle in with wiping everything down and yelling at me yeah she settles in by resting her thing on the head
Starting point is 00:30:40 and I made a comment and she immediately just goes no no no and they stood up and walked to the pilot and I made a comment and she immediately just goes no no no and they stood up and walked to the pilot
Starting point is 00:30:49 and then I was I was off the plane 25 seconds later you know they just they were just like pushing me off and I was like
Starting point is 00:30:55 but what what the heck and uh you see what they're doing to that baby back there what the fuck I mean I wonder if that's just
Starting point is 00:31:02 cause it's kind of two strikes like alright he was smoking and that. But it's like, I bet you could have like fought that. Where I'm from, you get three strikes. I would have appreciated a full count. Also, where I'm from, those aren't really strikes. It's like, I feel like both of you are paying customers.
Starting point is 00:31:20 You come back and you'd be like, all right, everyone stop being addicted to each other. Or, you know, we'll move some seats or whatever to just get the boot. Yeah. Yeah, I was good with that being my last lick of the flight. Just ending on that and disowning it. If you're going to get kicked off a flight, get your pat on the flesh. I would have had no problem with that too, by the way.
Starting point is 00:31:36 If you called me, I'm sure you were like, fuck, now I'm not going to be there on time. And in this world, if you called me and you were like, I'm not going to be there on time because I got kicked off a flight because I made fun of a fat bitch And her baby I'd be like
Starting point is 00:31:47 Cool I made the right choice Yeah Yeah Yeah so they I never even got to like Tell anybody My side of the story
Starting point is 00:31:57 They're just like You're off They're like She told the pilot That you called her A horrible mother I was going to say What was relayed was probably.
Starting point is 00:32:06 That's what she heard. Yeah. And you know what that is? You know what that is? That's projection. Like, yeah, maybe I shouldn't balance this fucking TV on my kids. Maybe you don't need to imprint Succession Episode 1 into the baby's brain. He'll be a fan.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Just give him some time. All right. If you're a person who even remotely knows how to spend money, it means you need money. And that means you need the Dave app. The Dave app can give you up to 500 bucks right now when you sign up for an extra cash account. Didn't change locations.
Starting point is 00:32:36 Maybe your dog got sick, right? And your dog needs an emergency surgery. Maybe you need a wedding present. Maybe you need just 500 bucks for no reason whatsoever. That happens all the time. If I was like in college and I had access to the Dave app, I'd be rich right now. I would be absolutely rich right now because I would invest all that money in smarter things other than overdraft fees. But the Dave app is going to take care of you. They're going to be 500 bucks whenever you need 500 bucks. Go to the app store right now, get the Dave app, and get involved.
Starting point is 00:33:07 That's the D-A-V-E, D-A-V-E, Dave app, right now in the app store. You're welcome. D-A-V-E, Dave app. Do you know what I learned on my flight to wherever the fuck I went? That they're still smoking things, ash trays in the bathrooms. Even on like brand new planes, all that stuff. And I even learned why they're armed. Why? Because they know people are going to break the law.
Starting point is 00:33:38 And they'd rather have them put it in there than throw it in the fucking trash. That's like condoms. Like we know you're going to fuck. Give the condoms to the kids. Oh, oh yeah yeah no but at the same time i do think if i went in there i'd be like oh well then it must be allowed yeah let me light up which on the same topic actually the other thing i learned on the plane is why i like one of those reclining seats and they they were like if you drop if you happen to drop your phone and you can't find it please call us don't recline because if you were don't don't
Starting point is 00:34:09 try and find on your own don't recline like look for it because you might hit the phone break the battery and then like that starts like a fire on the plane they're like call us we will get your phone for you can you that means some asshole somewhere one day blew up a plane. Because he dropped his phone. We finally find out what happened on a Malaysian flight. Some dude reclined his seat in the fucking place. What the hell?
Starting point is 00:34:35 Do you recline your chair? Do I recline my chair on the plane? Yeah. I mean, this was like one of those, like, I have a leg rest. Like, I'm over time. I was going to say, I don't get what you're talking about. No, no. This was like a... Got it.
Starting point is 00:34:43 This was not coach. Got it. Hell yeah. I've never sat on one of those. I want to do that. It was fun. I was going to say, I don't get what you're talking about. No, no. This was not coach. Got it. I've never sat on one of those. I want to do that. It was fun. I recommend it. Yeah, I want to just do that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:52 I just want to fly on that and then just do a loop and come back to New York. Let's not go to the club. Let's just stay on this fucking thing. Yes, yes. Which is like, is that a business? Because everyone, every time they're on a party bus, it's like, let's not go do what we're going to do. Let's just stay on this. It's not a bad idea.
Starting point is 00:35:06 It's so much better. Just drive around on the highway. Doesn't even need to drive. Let's just sit in a parking lot on the bus. The motion. Yeah, that does give it a little X factor. A little fear here. Drunk girls falling over and shit.
Starting point is 00:35:18 We might die. We should fuck. But I was just scrolling Instagram the other day And do you know what it costs If you smoke on a plane? It's probably like Prohibitively expensive right? To make sure you don't do it
Starting point is 00:35:31 It's 10 grand I was gonna say that Fuck I would've been right But the reason I know this Is I was just watching Fucking It was a clip A YMH clip
Starting point is 00:35:41 Of your mom's house And they had Steve-O on And he was telling a story About when he was on a plane. And they, this is a wow, so I'm not going to tell as well as Steve-O, but it was, he heard that you can't smoke, it's a federal offense to smoke in the bathroom. And he was like, he was so fucked up,
Starting point is 00:35:57 he was like, look, I'm not even going to use the bathroom, so don't worry about it. And just fucking lit up a cigarette at his seat. And was just smoking in his seat. Smoked two cigarettes, and put them both out on his flesh. Bro, what do you do if you're on a plane?
Starting point is 00:36:14 And was it a loophole? It was. He's like, I'm cool. Just hit me with a misdemeanor, man. He said, turns out the whole plane's pretty federal. There's your felony, man. Damn. That's fucking great.
Starting point is 00:36:28 But he said he got off the plane, and when they landed, they were just like, he left. He got the $10,000 fine, but there wasn't any police interaction. Any police or anything like that? There's a level of rich I could be where there's a $10,000 cigarette. Dude, how about this? When do you think they made it illegal to smoke on planes? How what? When do you think they made it illegal to smoke on planes? What? When do you think they made it illegal to smoke on planes?
Starting point is 00:36:48 Probably more recently, I think. So 2000 flat? No, it's not 2000. 2000 flat? 2000 flat. I'll say early 90s. I think it's late 80s in America, UK, and Australia, and then like 95 98 or something like that
Starting point is 00:37:07 like the rest of Europe yeah believe it man that's crazy Europe goes hard to be honest at that point we knew we were just recycling air
Starting point is 00:37:15 like we knew cigarettes we knew cigarettes were bad for you in 95 imagine getting off a plane you must just be like just fucking covered in soot I don't like cigarettes
Starting point is 00:37:24 but I like I like the era i like when the world smoked them you know i hate it i hate i hate the smoke but there was something about the world just being like i don't know man it'll be all right yeah now everything's like caution and it's like probably safer and stuff but it's like yeah yeah just kind of like this isn't that it's gonna be all right it's gonna be okay and i think the world needs this isn't that – it's going to be all right. It's going to be okay. And I think the world needs more of that again where it's just like, I don't know. We weren't thinking.
Starting point is 00:37:50 Like even we were talking about like the way people parent now where it's like if my kids ever just like ran out of the house and were like, we'll be back. We're going – we're just going to go and I'll be back at dinnertime. We would be like calling the police. We would have to check, find my iPhone, find my friends. And it's like, I don't know. They'll probably just come home. They might be kidnapped, but they probably won't be, you know? And then I guess it's like until your kid gets kidnapped,
Starting point is 00:38:16 and then you're like, why were we doing this? Same thing with cigarettes. Like, well, we all die to cancer, man. I do think that. Everything's fun until it kills you. I think you guys are bringing it back, though. What do you mean? I think that we, I think the generation between us, I mean, it's not a generation, but like
Starting point is 00:38:35 a little bit older than you, a little bit younger than me, like snuffed out cigarettes. I think like my age, there was still some stragglers. And then like that generation was like we don't fucking smoke this is crazy it's like oh yeah it's for sure coming you guys yeah and then i think probably i bet you it was like we the invention of vapes brought it back brought people yeah like yeah oh yeah you know this can't be that bad for you let me try smoking yeah and now it's like yeah what's what's the better stuff well it is i bet i bet cigarettes are bad for you. Let me try smoking. And now it's like on the rise again. This is fucking dope. Yeah. What's the better stuff? Well, it is.
Starting point is 00:39:06 I bet cigarettes are better for you than fate. I mean, there's got to be something bad about whatever that synthetic fucking. Dude, I vividly remember I was young and dumb, full of cum. Thought of you full of cum. Don't worry. It hasn't happened in a long time. What's worse is thought of me full of cum or thought of me not being full of cum it hasn't happened in a long time what's worse is it thought of me full of cum
Starting point is 00:39:26 or thought of me not being full of cum yeah I'm dumb no cum it was like it was middle school and it was like
Starting point is 00:39:32 one of those times where you like that era not that era but that time of your life where like Friday night you get dropped off at the mall
Starting point is 00:39:37 hold hands with a chick you come to all that hell yeah that's fucking walk around Providence Place mall so sick the best that's probably the happiest anybody ever is.
Starting point is 00:39:46 I agree. When you're playing Little League Baseball. Yes, go off. Keep listening. And then you go to the mall to wear your coolest shoes. Yes, yes, yes. And just be seen in them. And then you get Annie Ann's.
Starting point is 00:39:56 And then you ride your bike to your friend's house. That's the last part. You ride your bike to your friend's house and knock to see if he's home. And Slash can hang out. Sometimes his mom would be like, no. And you'd be like, all right, I'll just ride my bike home. I'm on a bike. Exactly. You don't control
Starting point is 00:40:12 me. I have complete freedom. I have bodily autonomy. It's right. You're old enough to do all that shit, but it's right before you are interested in drugs and alcohol and you are consumed by pussy. Oh, yeah. And so you're kind of like chasing chicks a little bit.
Starting point is 00:40:28 You have like a crush. You hold hands. But you're not like, I have to fuck. And you're like, you stole a swig of fucking some weird alcohol that you didn't even know what it was from your dad. But you weren't like, we have to get a fake ID. That's also a fun period of time is the chasing booze. Like, how are we going to get it? That's fun.
Starting point is 00:40:48 But before that matters, it was just bikes, video games, sports still. It was ballistic. And you're just jerking off an empty account. So we're walking around Providence Place Mall. We're doing one of the laps. We have to go around to get to the escalator to go home. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I walk by this thing where it's like e-cigarettes for sale.
Starting point is 00:41:10 And I was an idiot. And I was like, there's no – I think at the time they were still allowed to say the healthy alternative to cigarettes or whatever language they could use. And I was like, there's no fucking way an electronic cigarette is better than a regular cigarette. Not having burning smoke has to be better. Yeah, but... And I don't think it has some of the carcinogens. But we're burning plastic somehow, right?
Starting point is 00:41:36 It's like Diet Coke. It's like, all right, there's no calories, but the aspartame... No, that's a... Aspartame, yeah. Is it? Aspartame's as addictive as nicotine. Right, right. So it's like, yeah, whatever, dude. Which is confirmed. I was doing like a – Aspartame, yeah. Is it? Aspartame is as addictive as nicotine. Right, right. So it's like, yeah, whatever, dude.
Starting point is 00:41:47 Which is confirmed. I was doing like a dozen Diet Cokes a day in quarantine. It was sick. Yeah, I was on my like 55-year-old housewife shit. Confirmed in like anything you like to do is bad for you. Yeah. I mean it tastes good, feels good, or is enjoyable is bad for you. There is the – what is it?
Starting point is 00:42:05 I've seen a clip of one of those food documentaries. I refuse to watch the whole thing. It's just like, I don't know, maybe it was a trailer or whatever it is. And it was showing the brain lighting up with sugar versus cocaine. And it's like it's the same exact thing. Yeah, man. And I was like, the same kind of thing. I'm like, I've done both.
Starting point is 00:42:22 It's not them. My brain is different. They're fucking different. Oh, just get a Rice Krispie treat. It'll do the trick. You'll be able to keep drinking. That'll sober you up real quick. You can make dinner with your girl's parents.
Starting point is 00:42:38 Just get a Rice Krispie treat. You'll sober right up. Dude, the wildest thing I ever saw was, you know, we all, you know, we've talked about this before, but the kid who would do anything for five bucks, whatever, we had a kid snore, it wasn't like
Starting point is 00:42:49 a full pixie stick, but snored a pixie stick. I've done that before. You've done that? We did it. You've done that? Me and my cousin did that just for,
Starting point is 00:42:58 yeah. It was like you're a pussy if you don't sort of thing. Rather than paying the one kid, we ostracized the one who didn't.
Starting point is 00:43:04 Really? Yeah. I'd have liked to hang out with that crew. Although Rather than paying the one kid, we ostracized the one who didn't. Really? Yeah. I'd have liked to hang out with that crew. Although I liked being the bully too. It was pretty fun. Dude, it was... Snort it, ducky!
Starting point is 00:43:13 Snort it! But what was funny was that it was like we were young kids very clearly being like, this is what it's like to blow drugs. Let's do it.
Starting point is 00:43:21 I guess it makes sense, but it's like, I think our parents knew or were watching. It's like, again, they'll be fine bro remember smoking smarties yeah that's that shit did a pretzel rod once you smoke a pretzel oh yeah you want to make smarty smoking smarty was a great internet 1.0 video i feel like uh smoke i've never i haven't heard smoking pretzels though i've never heard of smoking a pretzel, no. Yeah, that might have been just a me original. It was actually Pavs' roommate.
Starting point is 00:43:49 Really? Yeah, Pavs lives with one of my two favorite diabetic people in the world. Who's the other one? His brother. A lot of Kool-Aid in that house. Yeah. No, they're both... What's the type you're born with?
Starting point is 00:44:07 Type 1? Type 1. Yeah, they're both type 1, and it's not hereditary. It's wild. Really? Yeah, they're like one in a million. I beg to differ. I don't know what doctor that is.
Starting point is 00:44:15 They're like a science fair project over there. But yeah, we used to smoke pretzel rods once, twice. Did you guys smoke? You're both long-ass? Yeah, it would just burn pretzel. You want to burn pretzel rods bro Let's burn dude We did
Starting point is 00:44:28 We did one time We had like We had a Class field trip When I was in 8th grade 2001 It was supposed to be to DC And New York
Starting point is 00:44:37 That got changed Cause of 9-11 9-11 Pretty disappointing Really Really the worst thing that happened about it. Sucks for you guys.
Starting point is 00:44:47 I'm sorry, what? We ended up going to Lancaster, Pennsylvania instead. I mean, come on. The list of victims of 9-11. I'm on it, bro. It goes three, you, two, the people who died, one, the guy who bowled a 300. That guy got his life moment
Starting point is 00:45:06 just snatched away from him. Those 3,100 people or whatever, 2,776 chili. You think though, I've always been under the impression that he saw what happened and was like, I'm going to do something about this. I also actually think
Starting point is 00:45:22 someone's going to stand up. Today's the day. This is the one. Today's the day. This is the one. Today's the day. Don't let the terrorists Bin Laden doesn't win today. Today I break the barrier. I'm done with 290s, 280s.
Starting point is 00:45:36 I do it. I bowl the 300 because we don't negotiate with terrorists. I always thought When I think about it, I never talked about anybody else
Starting point is 00:45:47 rolling a 300. So maybe now it's getting its due. Oh, I got a buddy who's done like four. I think, yeah, that's what I mean. So I think that
Starting point is 00:45:53 maybe for the last like 20 years he kind of got the jam job. But now the internet kind of really started to pick up on that. Now he's got the most
Starting point is 00:46:02 famous 300 of all time. That's a good point. That's a good point. So like, you paid your dues. Now you get to be the fucking man. So he's got the most famous 300 of all time. That's a good point. That's a good point. So like you paid your dues. Now you get to be the fucking man. So yeah, maybe it's the people who actually died. Yeah. They can have number one.
Starting point is 00:46:10 They can have number one. I can have two. But you can have two. Lancaster, Pennsylvania sucks. But so we're like so bored there. And one of these kids taught us, like he's like, I know a way to get high. And we were like, let's fucking do it. He's a weird kid.
Starting point is 00:46:25 It's always a weird kid. Yeah. Figuring out ways to get high. And we were like, let's fucking do it. He's a weird kid. It's always a weird kid. Yeah. Figuring out ways to burn something. And he's like, you got to get an Earl Grey tea. And we're like, done. So we had, like, that's actually great. I have some in my hotel room. It's perfect.
Starting point is 00:46:35 It's a delight. And he's like, he hauls menthol cough drops. And we're like, all right, we got those. He's like, all right, I'll be in the room in a little bit. Comes over. I don't know, he's got an older brother, whatever. He's like one of those eighth graders who knows how to roll a joint. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:48 And rolls, takes the Earl Grey tea in a joint. And then he's like, put the cough drop in your mouth. And by the way, we have like plastic bags wrapped around the smoke detector. There's fucking towels jumping out of the door. Windows open. You're fanning it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so we're sitting there.
Starting point is 00:47:05 Everyone's sitting there with a Hall's cough drop menthol under their tongue, smoking a joint of Earl Grey tea, thinking we're getting fucking blitzed, dude. You're like, whoa, dude, this is... Are you... Your eyes are so red. Are you guys, like, confidently hitting it? It's just totally the way to do it, man. It's the first time I ever hit anything, so I was not confidently hitting it.
Starting point is 00:47:32 I had one buddy who had an older brother. He was confidently hitting it, and then we were kind of passing it around. I don't remember what everyone else was, but I was like – I was probably faking it. I mean that's got to be the – were you hacking up your lungs? Smoking tea has got to be awful. Like I said, I'm sure I wasaking inhaling. I mean, that's got to be the – were you hacking up your lungs? Smoking tea has got to be awful. Like I said, I'm sure I was fake inhaling. I might have even been fake puffing. I might have been like –
Starting point is 00:47:54 Eighth grade, I was scared of drugs and stuff like that. I'm probably sure I had a sip of beer or something like that, but I didn't start really doing anything until sophomore year and stuff like that. I'm probably sure I had a sip of beer or something like that but I didn't start really doing anything until sophomore year and then junior year. Then I never looked back.
Starting point is 00:48:12 I had a buddy once who had he was he went through a big gravity bong phase just like at his house he would fill up a bucket
Starting point is 00:48:21 and had a Gatorade bottle and just and he was down to his last little bit of weed and he didn't have enough for a full to pack it full, so he put tobacco in and mixed it up like a spliff. So he hit a gravity bong of half tobacco, half
Starting point is 00:48:35 weed and it almost killed him. He hit it and he came up and he went down like a boxer hit him. It was like... And he turned... His skin was like boom and he turned like his skin was like this color he was instantly puking everywhere and he was knocked out for like a day straight it's amazing if anybody did nicotine yeah the yeah like just that much of a tobacco hit if anybody ever wants to recreate that feeling uh there's a saudi arabian tobacco called doha okay and uh yeah it's just like 98 nicotine
Starting point is 00:49:07 and yeah that just happens to you we picked it up in college and like tried taking pong rips of it and you just like knock it you just your body just like gets the girl was that sativa no that's uh uh salvia salvia salvia i was the highest I've ever been for three seconds. Wait, isn't that the one that feels longer? So what we read on the back of the little package is there's levels. And the first or second level is called bursting. What is this, the fucking drug in 21 Jump Street? Yeah, yes.
Starting point is 00:49:46 And honestly, it went like that. I think they might have gotten that from the back of the cell because one of the levels was called Bursting. And I remember we have like five dudes and I think we had like one hit of it, basically. We were kind of like sharing it. And I just remember being remember zooming for one second
Starting point is 00:50:06 and my buddy going, I'm bursting! Then fucking crack fiends, we were trying to get it off the table. I want one more. You eat something? No, but we were just trying to compile it together.
Starting point is 00:50:22 It was literally like, my brain just went like... And then back to normal. It was wild. And it was probably like 90% placebo at the same time. You just want to convince yourself of these things. But yes, Alvia had a moment.
Starting point is 00:50:36 You're talking about the nicotine overdose? I remember K2. I did Gerard Mayo. Not Gerard Mayo. Fucking Dante Hightower. No, Chandler Jones. You guys suspended for some? No, he didn't get suspended for it. I did Gerard Mayo Not Gerard Mayo Fucking Dante Hightower No Chandler Jones Is like You guys suspended for some
Starting point is 00:50:46 No he didn't get suspended for it It's like I don't know if it was The divisional round Or the championship round But like Chandler Jones like Smoked K2
Starting point is 00:50:55 Or one of those gas stations Yeah Yeah And like Knocked on the door At Foxboro Police And was like I don't know what the fuck
Starting point is 00:51:01 Is going on with me Yeah I think he played the next day But I think he was traded Dude there was a stretch K2 was like damn near the only drug they warned me about in health classes i bet that because there was a there was a phase early blog years um which was probably like if you were in high school yeah yeah uh in new york especially it was like the walking dead they called it like there was oh and the New York Post
Starting point is 00:51:25 every day had like a story or there was video footage of people it was almost like bath salts down in Florida or Crocodile people were like
Starting point is 00:51:32 eating their faces and losing their minds it's real zombie like your limbs and it was like I think it was just homeless people being homeless and high
Starting point is 00:51:38 and it was like I think they would be this way if it was any drug but it was like it's the K2 I think like Bloomberg was probably making a big stink about it.
Starting point is 00:51:45 Yeah, but that was a real big push. I wish they warned me about a bunch of different ones. That was one I never had a problem with. A lot of other stuff, guys. A lot of other stuff. No, but the nicotine thing is actually at PC. We had a buddy,
Starting point is 00:52:01 kind of like an adult kid who paid to do stuff. Wait, no, no, no, no. Elaborate a bunch. It was just like one of those kids who like, I mean, he was in college. He might have been a sophomore, might have been a freshman. We'd be like, you want me to do that for money? Oh, okay, okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:52:18 We'll pay you. He was also a student. I thought he was just an adult. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. We found him at the gas station. He just rides and he does shiver fight boxes. No, he was actually one of the kids involved in the Great Providence Piss Fight. Ah, the Great Providence Piss Fight of 2006.
Starting point is 00:52:34 Yes. But he was a big nicotine guy. Loved smoking. And we were like, how many do you think you could smoke? And he's like, I could smoke a lot. In one? No, like in a row. Bang, bang.
Starting point is 00:52:48 Burn it. I had a friend who held like this, and he smoked like 11 at once. It was crazy. The whole thing out? Like he finished them? I think he – I'll text him right now. I think he put it kind of like a Gatling gun, and he like sucked it like a dick. And I just remember we were in Hoboken sitting at Texas Arizona, one of those bars where the path comes right off.
Starting point is 00:53:04 We were sitting outdoors. So everybody who came off the path walked by, and he would just hit this barrel of cigarettes. And as girls walked by, he'd be like, yo, baby girl, you think this is cool? You think this is cool? And all of them were like, ah, get away from me, you ghoul. Oh, that's awesome. It was cool for us. But this kid was like, we're like, if you smoke a full pack, like one, finish it. One, finish it.
Starting point is 00:53:31 We'll take care of you. And so we go outside. I forget the name of the one they were in. But it was right by the quad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We stayed in the quad. Proceeded to watch this. I don't even know how many cigarettes are in a pack.

Starting point is 00:54:29 If you smoke at all, we'll buy you a new bag. That's like making a straight dude do gay porn and paying him in more dick. Bro, he wasn't even enjoying the original cigarettes. That guy is what it's all about. That guy That guy is what it's all about That guy's awesome How old was this by the way? College? Sophomore year

Starting point is 00:56:03 No, I've produced his last like five okay so because i yeah i had to start well i haven't been physically there for all of them but uh he's got another kid uh in la so we can hit record and get me the files so when you say with other stuff when i'm not there when we when we started here i don't know if and i still don't really know technically like we we use the term producer, and I think sometimes that means like editor, cameraman, technical aspect, and then there's the producer who's like I come with like your list of topics and like shit. What is your role? Is it all of it?
Starting point is 00:56:36 All of it, yeah. Okay, because that's – these days, I think on like radio and shit back in the day, there was like the technical people and the producer people. Nowadays, it's all in one. So you're coming to Tim with like here's the current events. Here's shit back in the day, there was the technical people and the producer people. Nowadays, it's all in one. So you're coming to Tim with, like, here's the current events. Here's what was in the news. Yeah, so I'll prepare news articles for him that I think he would like and he would be funny talking about.
Starting point is 00:56:57 And then – That's going to be pretty high-class. I mean, Tim is one of those dudes who is a very intimidating cat. Oh, yeah. I don't know if – is it – Yeah, it's intimidating for sure, but it's – I'm hoping it just, like, makes me work harder and blah, blah, blah. Yeah, I think – I mean, he's very – he's Portnoy-esque in that regard where I think a lot of people in this world say they don't give a fuck, and there's very few who don't give a fuck. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:20 And I think Tim and Dave are both on a list of, like – and not in a bad way, but they're like, I don they're like i don't care about your feelings like i'm not gonna tip them i will say that that's up there you're fucked up or whatever yeah i do see like similarities with him and dave and but like i don't know doing shit that way also like get shit done absolutely i've said a million times like i was and i'm down to get shit done i'm always the opposite of dave in like every regard right yeah i always tried to be like the nice boss but like nobody and we thought I think we finally found like a middle ground here it was like you know Frankie Borelli like never fucked up a

Starting point is 00:59:38 and it was going to be you, Nick, Kyle, and Sass. Yeah. I think maybe your listing was going to be like a pull tab at the top of the vessel. Stuff like that. Vessels where if you don't know, everyone kills themselves in New York City. We'll talk about it all. It'll be fun. It can be fun. So he just hit you and was like,
