Are you guys going to have like a yak type thing once they leave? I don't know. I don't know. I was talking with Francis about that. I saw another fucking podcast that looks exactly like it's like a no name but Burt was on it

and I was like what the fuck we should just rip it down I was thinking about it like just fucking change the world there's like seven the fuck we just I was thinking about it like just fucking change the wall there there's like seven pod if we do anything just wood panels stain the walls dark yeah yeah I think we just take an axe to it what I do is never this like basement like look it was like I feel like none

of us would have said yeah if I could saw the panel, I was like, well, that's not what it was. Yeah. We probably could just make it darker. We could make it darker. I think we'll just take an axe to it. It looks sick. Why are you guys trying to chop this down? It looks fucking sick. It's just like the podcast in our field.

Yeah. There's a lot of comedy in the podcast that I like to see. Are you getting negative feedback about it? It's not negative. It's just like this. And it's not negative it's just like this and it's not incorrect feedback it is the same right

they do look the same but it's weird because they're like our friends they're like we're cool with them so it's not like we jacked it it's not like people are mad

they're not saying like yo you stole our swagger but it's just like well I would like to have something unique and it didn't turn out like a sitcom set every sitcom

you're gonna walk in the front door and the fucking couch is gonna be there the and the kitchen is going to be over. I mean, listen, if you don't watch or listen to a show because of the set or something, then you're fucking crazy. No, I don't think anyone would do that. But I do think there is – personally, when I walk in here, I'm like, looks like I've seen this a lot. Yeah. And we've been in it for so long and always done our thing and been at the forefront of it and then you know when you end up having something that's like for for whatever reason

like we we we wanted this like you know nine months a year ago whatever it was and things just take a long time at barstool because it's not the same and like and then all your garbage guys pop off and these guys are able to make a studio quick and this happens, this happens. And then by the time we get ours, it's like, hmm. Damn. You know? Like, DeStefano has a new show that's called Super Retro and it's all about, like, the 70s, 80s, and 90s

and his set is in a... Like, it just... It's also kind of the flavor of the moment, which is also, I don't want to be that. You know what I mean? I want to be like, oh, you went left, we went right sort of thing. So how would you guys redesign it? I don't know.

Maybe we take an accident just take an accident I also don't think like I mean this is like you can just take this down right it's not like we

let's just destroy everyone's work you know it's funny like a week ago I said I was like you know there are plenty of like divas in this industry

that would like as soon as they found out that it was like everyone else's they would be like start over do it again burn the building down and I like we're like thank god we're not those guys well here's the deal i'm not we're like take it down this is this is probably my

most referenced thing on this podcast i reference it all the fucking time wait wait let me see what hang on what do we think it's going to be nick uh kanye destroying the bar no no no no his most referenced thing ever no or's from the show. It's not like a story. It's something we talked about on the show. It was a caller. The bathroom picture. Yep.

There it is. Yep. There it is. It's going to eat us. Let's just do it. That, that, that. So this guy called up. It's new for me.

It's new for me. This guy called up years ago, and he moved in with his girlfriend girlfriend and she hung a picture in the bathroom and he just hated the picture. And he was like, what should I do about it? And John was like, break up. And he was like,

because that picture is going to eat at you. And, you know, obviously exaggerating and being funny about it, but it's like when there's something that starts out small but it just festers

and builds and burns and you can't – a picture you could take down. But if it's something you can't change or whatever – But she was – they discussed it. She was like, it's not coming down. That's staying up. And he was like, all right. Well, then this is done. So now that the seed has been planted, we're just going to – it's just going to eat.

It's the crack in the foundation and eventually there will be a hard rain. Our basement will be flooded. Yeah. That's how it begins. Is that with everything though? You got a shovel and – If you see a little something wrong, you can never like get rid of it. You can never ignore it.

I am a big believer in two things. One, like when people like relationships or work, relationships are like compromise. They're not work. If you feel like you need to go to couples counseling and work and change and fight through the bad times for a little bit, then you just shouldn't date that person. The only time you're not in the office is rush hour. Right. That was clock out. Get mad at the people in the cars, get back home, clock back in.

Dude, when I really wanted to get to the office, that was when I knew. I was like, this is not a good sign. I used to love getting home, and now I like being at work. That's not – and the other thing is I guess these kind of go hand in hand. Like pull the trigger. This is way, way – this is totally do as I say, not as I do because I'm a pussy and I don't like to hurt feelings. And I don't want to be the bad guy, all that shit. But like when you know, you know.

And people will go on and continue to date for like years when they are like deep down, they know. Or like every life activity is to like bandage up the relationship. If the whole relationship is holding the relationship up. It's like we got to go on a trip to save our relationship. Yeah, we gotta buy a house. It's like, well, you don't have one. Dude, I was in one once where it was just like, she woke up earlier than me, and

every day I'd wake up. That's a problem too? That could be a problem? It was like, she was waking me up, like, I'd just wake up alone in bed, and I would just be like, man, what is she mad about in the other room? Like, I just know, because like, she would usually just like lay in, what is she mad about in the other room? You know already? I just know. Because she would usually just lay in bed and watch TV or whatever. But 90% of the mornings, she would be in the other room.

And I would just be like, whew. What's it going to be? I'm going to have to find out. You didn't smell coffee or bacon. You smelled a pissed off bitch. Bro. What is that? She's angry.

Smells like fight in the morning who was at she she worked at barstool and she would come to work as she worked in uh sales or whatever she did and she'd come to work before me so that's why she was always up before me and i think i've told before where like the morning i knew was over where like it was over. This led to the actual breakup, which led to the crying, blah, blah, blah. But I was fat, and I was in bed shirtless. Was. Was. I don't know. In bed shirtless with my laptop propped up on my stomach.

And she came out fully dressed like a business person for work. And she was like, what time are you going to go to the office today? I was naked in bed. I had one leg hanging out from a sheet. A ball out. I was like, I don't know. I was still blogging. 3 o'clock.

I was like, I'm writing a blog. I don't know. I'll fuck it. I don't know. At some point. She just goes, just lock up when you leave. I was like, ooh, that girl hates me. I think if you, especially these days you leave. And I was like, ooh, that girl hates me. Damn.

I think if you, especially these days with people working from home and shit, when I get to sleep in and you have to wake up early, my workday ends early, you have to work late, my commute's short, your commute is long, and I hate to generalize, but it usually is a girl to a guy. Like when the guy has it easy or the guy gets to have fun or the guy gets to go away. I always said about like guys trips and girls trips, right? 100%. Your girl says, I'm going on a girl's trip. You're like, take two weeks.

Take three. Come back next year. And you're going on a guy's trip. It's like, where are you going? What are you going to do? You're going to be checking, you know, all that shit. And that's just the nature of guys and girls too. But you – and if you have fun without them, they don't like it.

And that can mean, like I said, if your life is easier than theirs. That's when you get the slamming of the – Guilt and resentment. I don't want to say newlywed but relatively newlywed. Like a year and – almost two years in. Almost two years into the game. How is that going for you? Good?

It's going good. She's a rocket, bro. Thank you, bro. She's just super hot. That's so nice of you. She two years into the game. How is that going for you? Good? It's going good. She's a rocket, bro. Thank you, bro. She's just super hot. That's so nice of you. She'll love to hear that. Gotta feed that ego. But, dude, she's awesome.

But she moved to New York for Barstool Sports. You know what I mean? It's like, I'm here because of Barstool Sports. That's a big thing, too. She's here because of Barstool Sports. And so it's like more, like, we need to find pressure bro yeah you know what i mean like we need to find shit to do together you know what i mean like we need to she doesn't have a base of friends in new york she's a philly girl yeah she's a philly girl like westchester so all her friends are there like

every single one of her friends are still back home except for like one of her other of her 15 friends so it's like we need to like find shit so i'm always just like scheduling shit like we've seen like every magician in the city i'm going to broadway every every oh this place has a good thing smoky cocktail which is so funny because like as a guy you'd be just so content to be like i'll just sit on the couch i'll have the same cocktail every single night i don't need a fucking fancy they want to see new shit and do new shit. Dude, we kind of talked about it last show.

The couch to me has gotten very boring. It's getting harder. I've kind of come back around. The couch alone to me got – I used to be able to sit on the couch alone. I would finish up the blog day. I'm talking years and years ago. Get all my blogs scheduled,

be done work by like 2 p.m., and I would watch like an entire series of a TV show, you know? And I could do that like every day. How would you sit when you were on the couch? Would you sit just like this or would you lay all the way flat down or like a hybrid position?

I was a big, the chase part of the couch. Yeah, that's where I go. I sit on the L part and I would sit kind of like this. Yo. Fucking David Broderick. Bro, I sit like this,

because that's how I sat for a while. That would literally give you, I swear to God, I think I have back pain, because I've been like a slum monster on a couch. It's like fucking, yeah, just an asshole. Dude, you want to hear some depressing ass shit?

So I moved to New York for, well, actually, no, I moved to New York for... Well, actually, no. I moved in with a girlfriend like three years ago. And we're not together. And it was like then for a year, I had my cousin who was like, do you mind if I crash for a bit? And I was like, sure. And he crashed for a year.

And then he... That ain't the most Fidelberg-ass shit you ever heard. Watch the setup. A year later. It's a two-bedroom. Okay, so he had his own bedroom? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he's crashing?

No, no, no. He ended up helping out. It started like, yo, do you mind if I crash for a month? And I was like, word. And it was fine. It was no big deal. But now he's moved out. Now you miss him.

No, but now I just walk by. So you walk into my apartment. There's a bedroom on the right, living room. My bedroom's back to the left. But that room's just empty now. So now it's just like I walk by an empty-ass room every morning. And I'm like, this is depressing. There's literally nothing in that room right now but a bottle of Lysol or something like that.

An empty room is one of those poetically depressing things. It doesn't. I could just close the door and probably it it doesn't wouldn't affect me as much but I almost leave it open like I want to feel the hurt you are a sick pop bro why don't you put like a fucking desk

or a closet I will but I won't use it make it a gym you know put the fucking lightboxer in there and shit there actually

the lightboxer is in there so all that happens in there is violence I have not used it in a long time because his shit's been all over it for a while. So maybe I'll get back into that and it'll be my angry room.

Damn. It'll be my break room. It'll be my special. There goes the security deposit. Have you ever thought about if the situation was reversed? Sometimes I think of it like as a guy, I never thought about like – I've joked around about being a sugar baby and getting a sugar mama or whatever. You know what I'm trying to say.

Yeah. But I don't think I could ever really do it. And I just – it just never was even like a thought to me that I would like move somewhere for a girl's job. Yeah. I mean maybe – I don't know. If it presented itself and it was like this makes the most sense. She's a baller who makes millions of millions of dollars a year we got to go here but it just seems like one of those things as a guy you i don't know growing up i just like never that was just not

gonna happen you know what i mean i do know you mean think about that i always just wanted to i wanted to do what i wanted to do like so bad which is like very selfish of me but it's like i wanted to do it isn't it is selfish right but i think it's most of us as guys just do feel that way but i think that if if i could do what i wanted to do wherever like uh i i love coming into work like it charged me up every day and i love having this office in new york if we didn't have this office in new york and i could just like go live wherever i think i'm at a point now where like i'd fuck to Florida or Charleston, South Carolina. Would you?

You would bounce on the East Coast? I mean, I would if I wasn't coming into the office every day. But I like coming into the office. I value this. As everybody's the diaspora of barstool or whatever, everybody's fucking scattering to the ends of the earth. I still value being around here.

But if that wasn't a thing... Regular people who are like, oh, I don't go to the office anymore. earth. Like, I still value being around here. But, like, if that wasn't a thing. Regular people who, like, oh, I don't go to the office anymore. I'm like, how the fuck? Like, the wall's not closing in on you. Yeah. We have said, like, the moment this office opened, I cut my 4th of July vacation short. I was like, because we had to email, like, July 6th,

the office will open back in 2020. I was like, I will be there day one because I can't do this fucking shit anymore. I came back around on chilling on the couch when I have someone to do it with. But solo dolo, I start – I just – I think I reached a depressing realization. And maybe this is just my personal life because there's been a lot of shit hectic. But like I'm alone with my thoughts. It's just – Bad news?

Yeah. Yeah. It's just not – and it's not bad news it's yeah yeah it's just not and it's not I mean I do have to say that I've learned a little bit more

about the whole idea of like money doesn't make you happy because it's like you know the bank account is a lot bigger right now and I'm still stressing over the same shit

you know still stressing about trying to make things work with my ex still worried about my kids a new problem will always present itself always bro

and it's some of it is real problems some of its fake problems some of its champagne problems but it doesn't just be like you are just like i i can't imagine maybe you're maybe you're at this point i don't know you're not at this point where like how many how many like adults like wake up in the morning and are just like i I'm fucking happy with everything. Life is good. I just feel like as time goes on, you have time to make more memories and more friends and do good things, but it's also just more time for shit to pile up, like health problems

and work problems and family problems and shit. People die. People get sick. People get addicted. People fight. It's just more time for shit to worry about. Maybe that's just more time for shit to worry about you know maybe that's just my personality i pick up more worry than i do good but i'm just like no i know what you're saying and i think that uh it's almost like an unfair binary where

people are like you're either happy or you're sad like you're either sad or happy and i think in a lot of ways like you kind of pick what the thing that you're going to stress about at the end of the night as you're closing your eyes. Like that's going to be something. And you just kind of have to like hopefully pick a path that leads you to the lightest things that are going to fucking stress you out. That's where I'm at. It's like let me just minimize. Let me pick. I mean I wake up almost every night at like 3 a.m.

And I am just racked with anxiety and I'm at the point now where I know that it's just like I can't tell whether that's my honest brain talking or my you know

the good wolf bad wolf sort of thing I'm like is this the real deal or is this the like don't listen to that

side of my brain but I know it's gonna pass I know I'll probably fall back asleep and wake up at like 8 and I'll be okay but that

like you know that doesn't happen when you're fucking 23 the schedule anxiety attack yeah he's got on the google calendar 2 30 goes off it's like i didn't get up consider the possibility that i would consider my mortality even that man i was like i don't you know we're all young and i'm like now i'm like wait a minute well you know a couple more years I'm 40 and 40 is close to 50 and 50 I might die early I'm dead at 60 it's over I'm dead you know it's like what I never thought I would and I don't think I'm depressed or whatever like like some people are but I'm I definitely was like I'm not I'm not gonna be an anxiety guy I'm not I'm just gonna live life it's fine it's fine right and then it's like nope you too bud you're not special yeah you think you can It's fine. Right. And then it's like, nope, you too, bud.

You're not special. Yeah, you think you can't just muscle through and like pick. And it's like, no, that bitch is going to come for you while you're sleeping. Literally while you're sleeping. It's going to fucking creep up on you. I also think that's where you recognize the good years, the fun years, the easy years when you're in your early 20s and shit. Because even the good stuff that happens. You get married, but that means you gotta make a relationship work. You buy a house, that's great. Now you got fucking all these bills.

You have a kid, it's amazing, but you gotta raise a kid. All of it just comes with more. Check this out. I wrote a country song when I was fucking maybe like 13 years ago. It went like this. It goes All the old timers say,

get that vagina. You better get it while you're young. Here's a reminder. Life ain't got no rewinder. So if she's right beside you, you better get it done. And it was like, I was 22,

like realizing like, In the moment. Like, damn, like I'd be at the bar next to these fucking dudes who are, like, 45. And, like, I would work at the bar, get my shift drink and sit next to them. And they'd be like, man, you better fucking enjoy this shit, man. Fuck these pussy brothers. This fucking primo snatch that's all around you, man. You gotta get some gas, man.

You gotta fuck that sweat. I think I'm gay now. I don't want to. Last night, I went to dinner with my buddies. I was telling these guys before. My friends are an amazing group of guys who really put in the effort. They have a monthly dinner. I go once every two years.

They're there every fucking four weeks. I pop in when I can And they always Or when I want to I guess They're always giving me shit for it But anyway Long story short We go out

To a steakhouse We go to a bar afterwards For one more And there's this guy And this girl in this corner And this bar is empty We walked in There was probably

Two people in the bar One like booth of people And that's it And then this couple And they Sucked face they made out hands in the hair down the body like caressing faces i'm not kidding 20 minutes lips connected oh god and so it started like that i was like this is despicable. And then I was like, good for these fucking people.

And then it went so long. I was like, my man's lips are chapped. I started to worry about his fucking lip health. And I was like, and I was thinking like, how many times was I, where were you like in a position, not quite to that extreme, but where it was like, go home, dude. The deal is sealed. Like she wants to hook up with you. And for whatever reason, you're just still like – He's probably just loving life though.

Yeah. He's probably like there is no more than this. Right. I started to make a whole story for them. I'm thinking like what if these two work together and being out at a bar, making out is more scandalous than being behind closed doors. So making out on that couch is like hotter than having sex back in the apartment. Who fucking knows what it is? But I said, I don't think I've kissed that much this year combined.

And my friends were like, year? 10 years? Decades? I have not kissed as much as I was 23. I almost went over. I was so close to being like, can I interview you guys? It was wild. You guys can't stop.

You're stamina. There was a part of me that I remember being at a bar, heavy, petting, making out with two times that stick out in my life where one time a bouncer and one time a bartender came over and gave me the tap on the shoulder and was like, you need to leave. Dude, really? This is inappropriate. I don't think I've ever done that. I've never been a kisser i was at stout march madness arguably the best day of my life

like my my friend we all had like we got to the bar like noon drank till fucking midnight racked up like the biggest bar bill we had ever had at the time that's it was like we were all and it was just like you know, when you think that, like, being at a bar for Marshall Madness when you're 23 years old is, like, the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. The best day. A lot of years, the best day of the year. And, like, the hottest girl at the bar was into me for some reason,

and we were just sloppy, like, hot-mouthed. Hot-mouthed. Second base, rounding second base, sliding into third. And that bouncer was like, bro, he was like, you got to go. Like, you get it, right? And I was like, totally. He was basically like, I'm doing you a favor. Let's go on the cab and go the fuck home.

And then there was one that was a little too recently for that. Back in the day, I remember Dan and I had dueling blogs where I wrote a blog like, don't kiss me. And it was about, and I actually, funny enough, I remember Dan and I had dueling blogs where I wrote a blog like, don't kiss me. And it was about – and I actually, funny enough, I remember a line I had in it where it was like, if our clothes don't start coming off in – Within a certain amount of time. Within a minute, like stop spitting in my mouth. And I stand by it. Just take the second part off.

I've grown up a bit since then. What do you like about it? What – describe what you – It's just like, I don't know. It is – Well, don't get me – I mean, it a bit since then. What don't you like about it? What, what, uh, describe what you, uh, it's just like, I don't know. It is, don't get me wrong.

I mean, it is fucking super bizarre. It doesn't make any sense. The fact that he has to defend why he doesn't like it is crazy. It's just, what don't I like? We're, we're putting each other's tongues just sitting in our mouths while our spit is,

I'm not, I'm not fucking bizarre. That's a custom that every human does. I'm not grossed out by it to be honest i'm just bored by it i don't it doesn't rev my engine it is you gotta you gotta you gotta start nibbling some lips and shit bro yeah no i do that bro that's like fucking three seconds in i'm nibbling a lip right away that's why if that's first second if this bases to uh kissing i'm i'm i'm going big fly first pitch.

Like, dude, I'll fucking nibble in the first 10. I'll fucking hit the neck in the first 25. I'm in your ear in 40. You're speed running a make out. And then I'm like, alright, we checked this box, let's fucking

move on. When I tell you it was 20 minutes, give me an NBA backcourt 10 seconds. If you have your mouths connected for that long, that's crazy. You are. You're a shot clock on a whole half of basketball. 20 minutes is a half. I was like, this is one of the most impressive

and altogether disgusting things I've ever seen. And Bede put up 26 during their fucking kiss. Racking up numbers. We got to be the only animals that kiss, though, right? I feel like I have Googled this, and I think that there is somebody else that does something similar. Most animals don't even look at each other. How much does it kiss? Many animals actually...

What's up? Yeah, there's elephant kisses and butterfly kisses and all that shit, but mouth to mouth. Well, okay, but here you also got to understand, dogs sniff each other's assholes. Right, which is... That's kissing. It is. Actually, humans just sniff each other's assholes these days. But that's their version of kissing.

Like, damn. that's their version Of kissing Like Damn That's their kissing One animal kisses Just like we do The bonobo ape Yeah cause they're us Yeah that's like One step away from us

You know I wonder what I wonder who came up With that shape I wonder who was in the lab That is like There's all that stuff Yo dog

These guys kiss It was the apes Yeah I wonder who was in the lab trying to fuck him. There's all that stuff. Yo, dog, these guys kiss. Those are the apes? Yeah. Oh, that's a... Dude, I want that kind of love. This is missionary while fucking kissing. Are they fucking?

No, I think they're just fucking tangled up in the sheets, dude. Yeah, this is great. Shout out to these apes. I'm fucking all boned up. I might... I could masturbate to that the sheets, dude. Yeah, this is great. Shout out to these amps. I'm fucking all boned up. I could masturbate to that. You don't like kissing, John?

I think, oh, he's like deep-throating the snout. Yeah, the snout was full in the mouth. There is. I'm damn near 40, bro. I can come to Bonobo weeks. You need that. There is a part of back in the day with porn and shit on the internet. It was like fucking intense stuff and now i'm like damn look at them kissing yeah

kiss are good unless you caress man these germs are i used to say like watching like those like x videos or whatever they were called no no uh i know what you're talking about. It was like Passion X or something. Passion X, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd be like, that shit's fucking gay. And now I watch that, I'm like, damn, look at those people in love. I don't get who. I think people made those thinking that's what chicks want to watch.

And I don't think chicks want to watch that either. I think chicks want to see weird, wild shit too. Yeah. But I've seen all that. Who wants to watch slow? I get what you're saying. I'm picturing the guy on the other – like a genius like Nick who has a steady cam. It's like what you said where you don't – you're just like for the talking part.

You hit an age where you're like, I'm just here for the therapy. Tell him you love him.

I'm a white woman. Tell me you love me. I'm a white woman. Do you want to smell my diaper? I'm saying the most ridiculous shit. But when you cut to that part where you're showing the two sides, it was so clearly. It's not even reminding me of it.

I think they just stole this from this episode. Oh, with Sonny, when they do the abortion. Pro-life, pro-choice, and they're bouncing back and forth to see who's going to give it up easier. I was like, dude, I'd have fun. It was exactly that. Everybody was a caricature. Nobody was talking about the issues or whatever.

People have their talking points like they're Woody getting the string pulled in their back. They're just like, you're all pedophiles. I hate human trafficking. It's crazy how much the world has learned from politicians and internet and shit.

Just stick to your talking point and don't engage in the other questions and that's it. Especially Trump. But I do think though that he doesn't have an army like he used to. You think so? I think that he might have an online army, but I don't think that he, after the January 6th shit and people are going to jail, I don't think that he could, like, at the drop of a hat, galvanize a massive group of people and have them, like, rushing the streets.

Well, that was always, I think, a little, right? Like, didn't he, like, rent out an arena and then only, like, a couple thousand people came? Yeah. I think it was always, it's always been more online. The crazy thing is that that is almost what matters more. Yeah. Oh, totally. I got on Truth this week.

I downloaded Truth. He's on Truth Social. Really? When it starts, you have to follow two people. So we followed Trump and Melania. I didn't even know any of the other people. Here's the question. Do you think there's anybody on Truth Social that does not follow Donald Trump?

Probably not. Probably not, right? He said he has like 5 million followers. Probably not, I guess. I would imagine the full Truth Social was 5 million followers. Did you see how much they lost? How much money they lost? Truth did? Yeah. Because of yesterday?

No, no, no. There was a story that came out yesterday or earlier this week, whenever it was. They've lost $700 million. And I read that and I'm like, well, how the fuck is Barstool only worth $700 million then? We actually make money. We did $200 million a year of revenue in the last couple of years. $200 million revenue and you get sold for $600 million is insane. We should be like billions of dollars do you hear that somebody yeah no isn't your uh valuation

supposed to be like 10x of your revenue or something like that something crazy like it's it's not supposed to be a close number your total value yeah we are going to make their money back before we get around to fucking taking an axe to this wall. But it's probably like buying a house in a flood zone. It's like fucking the risk insurance. Like, is Dave going to say something? Right, right. It's like, you should be worth, you know, $10 billion, but we know you're going to fuck this up.

You're going to have a golf party or some shit. We were saying last night that Zuckerberg once described Twitter as a clown car that crept. What? He said Twitter? No, Twitter. Twitter, yeah. Because he was like, it sucks. Oh, ours is better. Zuckerberg once described Twitter as a clown car Facebook right? He said Twitter? No Twitter Because he was like it sucks So the Twitter was A clown car that crashed Into a gold mine

And I was like that also perfectly applies to Barstool Sports Even more to Barstool Sports I hate to even I guess it's not a secret So it's not like i'm exposing anything but like there are times where i'm like i can't believe this worked out even a little bit let alone to the tune of 600 million dollars like i know like nobody's doing anything it's truly the emperor's new clothes and obviously i'm joking there's people who work hard but you

would think that's another thing i guess i've learned is like over the years you start to learn that everybody is snaking it. Everyone is a fraud. You know what I mean? Like the smartest teacher you know is like a hungover dude who is like whatever. And what level do you think that gets to? Do you think that like Bezos is snaking it? Every level.

I think on every level there is – I mean if you look at Elon, like prior to Twitter, I would have been like this man. He puts fucking rockets in the air. He's like a genius. He knows what he's doing. And then he gets on Twitter and it's like, this guy's just a dickhead. I think there's levels to it, but I think at every level in every profession. Maybe not like surgeons. I don't know if there's a surgeon out there who's like, I don't know what I'm doing here.

Oh, for sure. I think there are, dude. Because I think a lot of it's becoming like machine. True. Yeah, the laser does it for you. Bro, I got a buddy who's in surgery all the time. He's not a surgeon. He like sells medical equipment.

So he has to be there in case the equipment breaks because he knows how to fix it. And my guy's in surgery hung over all the time. Like, if you're feeling comfortable at your next surgery, don't. Don't. There is someone in that room not operating at a full brain capacity. Imagine that. If things go awry, they can't help. Has he ever had to fix it?

I'm sure, yeah. I don't think we ever talked about it. I wonder if it's one of those things where it's like, I didn't think this was ever actually going to break. Yeah, I guess since he doesn't have a story at the ready, maybe he hasn't. Fix the robotic arm right now or this person's going to die. It's like, oh, man.

Yeah, that's true. I guess if there was some really chaotic situation, he probably would have told me. Yeah. My wife's in medical device sales. Oh, does she do it too? She does it too. I came home one day and she was like,

here, put on this headset. She gave me basically like the uh the vr headset like the oculus and uh gave me two whatever what are they called whatever the fucking controllers toggles she gave me two toggles and and she was like do the surgery and like she literally i like literally went under the hood and was like grabbing the scalpel and like doing everything and that's all it is. These surgeons are literally playing video games in there, dude. They could probably be hungover.

Did you do it? Yeah, I was doing it. I got bored. I was like, this shit is fucking boring. I got to go. Did you complete the surgery, though? No, I'm saying I left early because I was like, I get it, I get it. When you hear about some crazy surgery that's like they were in surgery

for 12 hours yeah by hour two that guy's gonna be like my hands are cramping put something on I'm sure there's a rotation

or whatever I'm sure it's like 12 straight hours but you gotta be like it's like that couple kissing eventually yeah you're either dead or alive

we can't do this anymore yeah he's 78 are we really is this worth it are we just do this anymore he's 78 are we really worth it are we just doing this or it's like somebody's machinery broke

and a drunk medical device salesman couldn't fucking fix it it was supposed to be a regular procedure and now you're in there for half the day so but it was funny yesterday

Trump was a little bit smaller smaller crowd I think I think it's a wrap for old Donny boy, but I do think this was a misplay. I don't think this is going to stick. I think anything that doesn't

kill you makes you stronger sort of thing. I think he'll take it and run with it. I don't think it's a wrap. I think that this is going to strengthen him. That's my point. I think it will strengthen him. A lot of people would be like, this is how he's going to win again. I just don't think he'll be able to take it to the finish line. But, I mean, I don't fault you for thinking that because it does feel like – I don't like the guy.

I don't really care one way or the other about a lot of this shit. But when I saw what they were even attempting to put on him, I was like, even if he's guilty, I don't think that's that bad. Other presidents must have done that. Everybody has done what they're talking about with misappropriation of funds. It's like, when I realized he didn't do it with anybody else's money, it's just like what he did with his own money and how he

paid back people out of money from this pocket instead of this pocket. I thought it was his campaign donations. But even that, that to me is like every politician in the world. Michael Cohen paid for it. He classified it as a campaign donation. They looked into Michael Cohen. They found this, that this was a campaign donation, but Trump paid him back for it. So it was labeled on a tax document as a campaign donation, but no money came out of his pocket.

To me, literally, if you're talking about those dollars, I guess those were a campaign. But if it's almost like a money laundering thing. I think he would have been bribing her regardless of running for the campaign. That would be my defense. Right. I was going to bribe her anyway. It had nothing to do with me running for president. I fucked a porn star.

If he got to that microphone yesterday, and instead of saying not guilty not guilty he said still beat though i've hated that motherfucker for longer it was never about policies sure the xenophobia came into play at some point but i was anti-trump like fucking 15 20 years ago because i just hate fucking new money dickheads and anyone with a gold toilet and that gold fucking shit i'm like fuck this guy he's he's old money and acts new money you're a real piece of shit like i don't even like mac miller because he had that donald trump song and i was like i was like oh like he ended up changing it too but i was i't like Mac Miller because he thought Donald Trump was aspirational. I was like, fuck that.

But if he said still beat though, he's got my vote. Simple as that. That's straightforward. The judge is like, is that slamming the cow? That's not the question. But I still beat though. It's like when those comics go on morning TV shows and they fuck with them on purpose. I'll benefit more from this if I just do some silly shit.

I don't really care about this. Let me take this opportunity. I know the whole world's watching. Let me say some shit right now. I want to take this moment to announce, still beat though. What the fuck? She says, I got a fucking mushroom tip, orange little dick, still beat though. Cohen smuggled all my campaign finances, still beat though. Imagine you go through all 34 counts, still beat though.

Still beat though. Still beat tough. Still be tough. Still be tough. That would have a bag of people firing off automatic weapons like insurgents. Kid Rock would have them. Calling one hand his dick and the other. That would change shit. That would be incredible. That would be too good to deny.

And that's why. I'd give him the White House right now. I do think we're kind of goldfish. I think that it's been – it will be four years once the next election comes around. I think we will have forgotten most of the uncomfortability that existed within the country when he was president. You know what I mean? I think there was a lot of – more uncomfortability than there is now I would say. And I think people will forget that shit and be like, it was fun.

Well, that's the thing is he's got to be funny again. Because that was like the thing that had a lot of people was just like, you know, he didn't speak about any of the topics, but did you hear what he said about Bloomberg? That shit was funny or whatever. That's why you guys need to get on Truth, bro. He's spinning bars. He's cracking jokes every five minutes.

I applaud him, man. For a dude who is as self-centered as he is to have – I want to say, did he have like 100 million followers on Twitter? Was it that high? I couldn't tell you. But whatever it was. I'm always flabbergasted by whatever amount of followers he'll have. I think it was like 10 million. I mean, his player is active again. He doesn't use it, but he's back on Twitter.

Let me see. Probably does. Yeah, because that's back on Twitter. Let me see. That's what I mean. For him to 87 and 3, for you to have to be the biggest egomaniac of all time and you've got 87 million people, all of them who are going to like – you could tweet Kafefe and they're going to suck your dick. And he's just like, nope, I do it on Truth Social. That's some self-control. I can't believe Donald Trump of all people can do that. I think there's an element on Truth Social where it is a perfect echo chamber and there's nobody on there who's like, sir, resign. You're a tyrant, sir.

And on Twitter, I mean, I don't know how much he's thought that or had to deal with it if he's scrolling the timeline. I think he gets off on that shit too, though. What? The haters. Yeah, those people are scary people. Anyone who gets off on haters, I'm like, I don't fuck with you. Yeah on that shit too though. What? The haters. Yeah, those people are scary people. Anyone who gets off on haters. I'm like, I don't fuck with you. Yeah, that shit is crazy.

You don't want to be liked? Isn't that the goal? To be just being liked by people? I think 99% of people who are kind of like, my haters fuel me or whatever. You're fucking lying. You're lying. You want everyone to like your shit.

NBA players, dude. Those guys care. Those guys hear what people are saying to them and they fucking read what people are saying online and it hurts their feelings. Every one of them. Kevin Durant has been

trying to tell people like, this is just Twitter, bro. I'm just having fun on Twitter. You're hurt. Your feelings are hurt. And they should be because people really mean to you and you're fucking awesome.

You have the right to. But I do think there's like that 1% of people and I think he's one of them who is like, I love it. A true hero. I mean I guess when you do win consistently, it's like it's fun to – look at Dave. Like Dave pretty much always wins.

So he's like – it's probably like I'm going to beat this person and he does it every time and then it makes it fun yeah you know i think he enjoys it sometimes but i think even like with dave i think there's some things that he'll say that the response might stress him out a little bit stress yeah you know what i mean it's not probably not everything with trump but there's probably some shit where he's like what the fuck yeah i had uh the the world baseball classic shit for me was a weird like that was a kind of like a almost like the end of an era for me

where I was like I'm not doing this shit anymore yeah well that and also but I also like fully learned

there was good and bad the bad side was like I'm not doing this anymore because I wanted to talk about you know should you play in this tournament

when you have a pro team that's a sports argument everyone be like let's bar school sports bro like let's talk about, you know, should you play in this tournament when you have a pro team? That's a sports argument. Everyone would be like, let's – Barstool sports, bro. Like, let's talk about that. And it turned into racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, blah, blah, blah. I was like, okay, this is fucking crazy. But the good side of it was all those people digging up shit on me and trying to, like, take me down. Didn't matter.

Like, didn't fucking matter. Too big to fail, yeah. I don't know if it's that or if it's just that you know this is it's just that echo chamber and there's a bunch of people being like we got them and it's like it that's you and seven other people just fucking loving it and it just doesn't translate to the real world anymore i think there was a time where we said like you know the internet is real life and i think maybe other areas of the internet you can't just like ignore it but like the biggest shit the best shit the

worst shit can go down on twitter and it you come you come up for air and you ask somebody who wasn't who maybe they're even on twitter but they're just not looking at your shit and they're like what are you talking about i didn't even know i didn't even know that i had forgotten about that shit by now like as far as you know what i mean no one if you like miss a cycle like if you just watch movies for a couple days like the shit will go away you you do miss like and sometimes i i my favorite thing was is when shit's going down and i'm not in it because it was such a long time where i was always in it right even if it whether it was me or like ricochet shots but when it was like oh someone else is like gonna have to fight this fight like i watched the dave angel reese

thing from a distance and I was like, this is good entertainment. Yeah, it's hilarious. Somebody was like, you need to chime in. I was like, are you fucking crazy? It's how quickly you forget we're really just monkeys surrounding the two monkeys fighting. And you think that once one

of those monkeys got out of the fight fucking ripped up, scars and everything, bleeding, that they'd be like man I'm not gonna fucking cheer for another monkey fight and then two monkeys start fighting

like ahhh monkey fight monkey fight we're all just out here rooting for monkey fights yeah it's so crazy I feel like I'm gonna get in trouble for

saying that even that stresses me out like I don't even do that anymore like the big stuff like that I didn't pay attention

to that I mean this with all sincerity. Everybody should strive to be like Feidelberg. Yeah, you're the monkey that walked away. I mean this with all sincerity. I know you're saying that. You from day one have been like, don't read comments.

They're going to hurt your feelings. Stay out of your DMs. That's not your business. You must have two pairs that love you or some shit no way but even like when you know when there was that i i do it a lot for one minute man where i'm like you know the internet is saying people are saying this happened and he's always like are they really though or is that just like an echo chamber of a few people or and all of these things i think people are like starting to learn after you're on the internet for like a decade or more he's been he's been on that tip for a long time

because i've like stopped looking at my mentions at all and the only thing stressed me out today i was stressed a little bit because i gas sent a tweet about my blog about the fucking make it oh yeah yeah and i just replied to Gaz. I just did The Sun with Milton Tuff and then Uranus or Pluto. Whatever the last one is now was Miami Paul. Good me. Could have been fun.

I got in the shower. Because I don't check my mentions, I can't really see what's going on in it. If I miss his reply on my main feed, I won't see it. If you're going his reply on my main feed, I won't see it. And if you're going to go to war with someone, Gaz has all the bullets on me. So even right now, I'm like, did Gaz reply to that at all?

Refresh, refresh, refresh. How did you – because I think that you, A, not reading the comments, and B, not even looking at your mentions now, I think that that's a mark of someone who's well adjusted and like uh i'm trying to figure out how you got to to being well adjusted it's very easy it was out of order it was when out of when we filmed out of order and shot out of order i was i i've i still haven't seen the final product but i was in the room when we did it and i was like this is. And if there are 99 good comments, you're going to remember the bad ones. And I was like, I will – if one person is like, this fucking sucks, it will affect how I do it forever.

And it's something I want to keep doing. So don't let that get in your head. And so we put it out. People texted me. You texted me. I was texting with you the night it came out or the night before it came out. And I was like, this is very nice of me, you, I was texting with you the night it came out where, or the night before it came out. Right. And I was like,

this is very nice of you to say, cause I was stressed. He said, he said that your text message was like, what calmed him down. He was like, I was like, I was like, everyone loved it.

Like, okay, this is the other thing I really respect about him. He's like, if you're not going to listen to all the hate, you can't listen to all the dick sucking either. Cause if you believe that you, you gotta believe.

And I, I push back on that. Cause I think it's a lot easier to just say, fuck you, this sucks than to say I sat down. I watched your show. That part was awesome. That part made me funny. This is great. One of those is sincere. One of those is people being an asshole.

But I also do love that like – I do respect that. It's like if you listen to the love, you got to listen to the hate too. So he's fair on both sides of it. That's the most uh mature thing you do about it i yeah yeah but the main thing i i had a revelation i was like if you read these comments and shit you're going to do your job worse you will make less money you will be less successful you will not reach your goals and you're gonna do that like you're just gonna you're just gonna do that yeah because're just going to do that. Because literally your ego

striving for people to tell you you're good and worthy or whatever. But when you were like, I just like this. I knew it was good. I was like, this was good. So I'm not going to let someone

convince me otherwise. And I realized that with... I didn't plan to not read comments or not read mentions anymore. And then I was like, but I'm taking a few days off because I don't want someone not read comments or not read mentions anymore. I was like, but I'm taking a few days off because I don't want someone to tell me it sucks and that's going to fuck with me. Then I just realized I was like,

we did a podcast after, and I was still in my three-day window and I'm not reading it. I was like, huh, I feel better about that show. Then I wrote a blog or two, and I didn't read anything. I don't think everything I do is great i know when i do bad stuff right and but like when i put out something good i'm like i don't want someone to tell me about i i i've been doing this

for 13 years now 14 years now whatever i know what's good and i know what's bad so when i put out something good why read the feedback i'm like i think it was good yeah i'm i'm pretty good but that's what i'm saying it's very admirable because like most people need the outside validation you know it's not enough for you to say I'd like to have you if I could just filter out the good maybe I'd listen to that but that one will fucking stick with me

so I'm like the number one fucking out of order hype man I'm the number one I can't I am so bad at promoting my own shit but if one of you guys do something and it's a great video I will blast it out and I'll hype it up yeah look at our guys just making stuff look at our boys I love other people succeeding more than myself

and I love to I feel awkward pumping my shit but I'll do everybody else's shit and so I was like I know I know fights is not even gonna look I know sass is looking and probably going crazy yeah he is determining his self-worth by the character that he's

reading. It's literally in real time. I know Owen is emotional about it, and so I was like, I'm going to read the feedback. And Owen said to me, thank you for filtering out all the good stuff, because I was sending him screenshots, I was sending

him screen recordings, and I was like, bro, I was sending him screen recordings and I was like, bro, this was not filtered. I was like, bro, read the comments. They're all, I mean, all good. And nothing in Barstool history has ever been like 100% received well. And he's still like, nope, not doing it,

not doing it because there will be one. There's not even one. No, I say keep it up, dude. Don know i'm trying it doesn't make me happy by any stretch of the imagination i'm not i'm not in a better headspace you just say well adjusted but i do feel better about my work which doesn't really translate to actual happiness but like but i have felt better about my work for the last it probably. It probably energizes you. That shit is exhausting, dude. Reading comments and inputting people's opinion into how you see yourself is like – that is an exhausting practice. I've said it a million times ad nauseum on the show.

I really feel like the human brain is not conditioned to have that much stimuli from that many people. Totally. conditioned to have that much stimuli from that many people totally if you think about like if you go out to like a bar or a party and you have an incident let's say where like one person didn't like you right like you did you forgot somebody's name you embarrassed yourself you you know whatever you said like oh i don't like people who do this and and that was one of those people and it's like one person you're like oh fuck like i fucked up that one you know what i mean like you're stressing over one and then you go on the internet and gladly let like thousands of people hundreds of people just tell you what they think and you do it to yourself and you value and you value that more almost more than you know other people i've noticed myself like and again

it's the last three weeks it's a very small sample size but even like doing more things and and whereas i used to kind of shelter myself and put my shit off because I was like, I don't want to read the feedback on it. I'm like, well, I'm not going to read it anyway, so who cares? Like the blog I wrote last night, I would have never written that blog. But I wrote it because I was like, fuck it. So I was like, ah, someone might get mad about this. I won't even know if they got mad about it. I don't fucking care.

Right. That's awesome. It is. And that's when you realize it's like – and then when you realize there's no – like if you bury your head in the sand but people are, I don't know, writing articles and there's like actually a tangible response to it, then it's like, I don't know. You have to address that. But those things don't happen. It just stays on Twitter with a bunch of fucking nobody. So it's like you don't even have to address it.

You decide how much that so what do you think of this i i want to i think the time is probably here to finally have a talk with like the new york people who are staying because i feel like a lot of people are like what's happening i'm nervous whatever and i want to like you know let people know we got some things in the works and it's all going to be fine thanks and. And I wanted to challenge people and myself at the forefront of it to just get off Twitter. To quit? To quit Twitter.

It's literally useless. It does not promote your blog well. It does not promote your videos well. You do not go viral and gain followers. You do not... None of that. If you take all your time and effort that you're putting onto Twitter and you put it onto TikTok, take those same thoughts and either say them or write them on TikTok. Whatever you do, just put it on TikTok.

I fuck with that. Gain followers. I fuck with that. And you will – like you'll just be better off in your career. Totally. Or the one thing I've been saying is I think Twitter is good for information. So when I do one-minute management, I want to find out what is – what's the topics. So I made a second account.

I followed everybody that I needed to follow. I locked my account so you can't even follow me if you wanted to. Oh, you got a ghost account? Yeah. I don't tweet from it. I just have a timeline and I'll use that for like, okay, this is going viral. Let me go make a video about it. But I can't engage in it. I can't – even if I were to tweet, nobody knows what it is because I do think there's some value as a tool.

But I don't have any mentions, so I can't reply to that person. I can't – even if I want to quote tweet someone, no one is going to – it's just blasting it off into the abyss. It would be pointless. It's also been like fucking shelled beyond belief. Like Twitter does not look or feel like it ever used to. It used to be fun. And it's a wonder that fucking Elon Musk got to outer space. If he tinkers with every one of his companies the way that he tinkers with Facebook or Twitter.

You got to think that he's – that's not the's not the way he does right like this is his play toy yeah and like with spacex and shit he was on point and he just dicks around with twitter right he wants to like yeah be like a mechanic working on cars and right has no idea how cars work yeah that's actually a great analogy but uh but you know i'm out because i'll even spend like multiple days on like not tweeting. I'll be like, man, I fucking probably should because I think that there is some of this baked in like guilt of like I need to be like posting online. Like I need to be getting this shit up online. I got into the feeling with Twitter where like when I was still like checking mentions and stuff and stuff, I wouldn't tweet until 10 a.m.

Then people would be like, oh, just getting up? I don't like people thinking that it's the first thing I do. I don't like people knowing my daily routine through my social actions. If you don't tweet during a game,

you're not watching them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you didn't tweet during an event. You haven't tweeted about fucking Colorado football all year. Right, if you didn't tweet you have tweeted about like fucking colorado football all season right now you can't watch it's like what and and but you but i used to like let those fake rules determine something so i would be like let me let me say something about the game right now so people know that i'm watching who the fuck are these people and why

the fuck do you care but what i would say is i i do think having a little bit i wouldn't call it guilt but i think having a healthy i should post online is good because that's what we do for a living. Yeah, yeah, a drive to it. But just do it on fucking TikTok instead. And I will – so what I'm going to do is I'm going to wean off because it is like a drug. Social media, you have these reward systems in your brain from it. So I'm going to wean off of uh twitter and get get harder into tiktok but you're asking me to wean off of weed a soft drug and get hard into heroin the most pure distilled social media

i kind of disagree with that though because when i go on instagram i post shit and maybe i'll read some comment sections but you don't there's no arguing on Instagram so you're saying Instagram so you find Instagram value I think there's value in Instagram I think TikTok is by far the best but I will admit people our age our demo it's not quite the best

the fit but I think there's value in Instagram and TikTok make a video do videos you want to watch it you can monetize that you can sell that totally and i i really if i could if i had enough power and if this was like allowed somehow i would be like if you if you tweet more than like five times a day you get like penalized here you you get docked pay you you you lose you know an opportunity it's it's literally making you a worse employee.

What Twitter used to be fun for was just brain dumping the stupidest things that bubbled up and you could just dump them out and your friends would read them and maybe they'd go viral. I used to use it. It was great for the blog. It was like, send a tweet, inspire some conversation.

You know what was a great video game? It was this. People were like, bro, level 5 was amazing and I remember this boss and I couldn't do that. I would be like, hey, you know what was a great video game? It was this. And people would be like, bro, Level 5 was amazing. And I remember this boss, and I couldn't do that. And I would be like, this is all a blog that I can put all this into writing. Yes. And we could sell ads, and that's a good thing. I saw one poll the other day, and it is like it's such a different – it's all different times and stuff like that.

It's from Skip Bayless, 09. I guess we know Chris Brown's favorite sport now, soccer. and stuff like that. It's from Skip Bayless. 09. I guess we know Chris Brown's favorite sport now. Soccer. God damn. That's a bar though. And he probably was on ESPN at the time.

Bro, you get arrested now. Yo, for real. You get fucking arrested. You get flogged on air. It was like, it was. You can get away with some shit. It was fun. Like Skip Bayless.

That's some heartless shit. That's cold. But it was fun, too. Yeah. He gets his jokes off. I mean, Mark Norman says that on stage, and the crowd goes, ooh, ah, and laughs, and it's a great comedy. You know what I mean?

Soccer. I think actually what happened with Twitter is in a sense what happened with Barstool where like you lived in both worlds of just comedy and just serious. Like you blended the two worlds of comedy and serious. And then like for a while that was a good thing. And then I think it became a bad thing because it was just like people don't know how to take it like i was telling you i was on the run down yesterday and i was like fucking saying a joke about the angel reese shit and like we

were on we're spinning so he was like don't i'm not i'm not laughing at this he wasn't trying to hide his laughter he literally wasn't laughing he's i'm not laughing i'm not laughing at this i was like dude we're just fucking around making a joke i'm not giving an actual take on fucking angel reese and caitlin clark i'm just fucking we're having fun here disavowing though yeah and it was like i i think there's like a part of that where like you don't need to do that when you could float you could kind of get away with everything and now i i think the the idea of floating has been lost on the internet where like everything's taken well that No, I'm just fucking around. People are like, you know, why should I listen to you like a blogger on this serious topic?

And it's like, oh, yeah. I mean I'm mostly a clown but also I have some legitimate thoughts. And no, you don't have to take me seriously but I'm going to talk about different things. Sometimes I'm serious. Sometimes I'm not. A benefit of TikTok is that like you can pick up nuance from how somebody says something. If you read something, there is no nuance. If someone's joking, being like, she's a freaking scumbag,

and you're laughing about it, when you transcribe everything, that's when everything looks crazy, and that's what's going on on Twitter. We did an interview with Kevin Heffernan from Super Troopers and his new movie coming out with the Broken Lizard guys, Quasi, and he was talking about Brian Cox on the set of Super Troopers and his new movie coming out with the Broken Lizard guys, Quasi. And he was talking about Brian Cox on the set of Super Troopers 2. Because they were trying, they had to get him back in the mix. And he's an older guy and successful. And he was like, I don't do night times anymore.

I don't shoot at night. So they were like, he was like, we had to film. There was one night scene and we had to put him up with the four seasons. We had to get him in and out. But Kevin's telling the story laughing and it was kind of jokey. And so it was funny. But if you read the same thing like Brian Cox refuses to shoot at night and like it was a diva on set. It's like, oh, you're a jerk.

But he's telling the story and it's like, oh, it was more like, fuck you old – you young kids. I'm an old man. I don't shoot at night at night anymore it's funny but there was tone to it and nuance but you just call a girl a scumbag piece of shit or whatever like it's like you're gonna look you can't even do that yeah if you said it out loud tongue in cheek literally like it'll be taken as tongue in cheek which it actually was get on tiktok bro it does feel like uh like just a wasted out like a missed opportunity, though. It's just like so many people. And it's primarily my fault.

The OGs spent so much time on Twitter. I think everybody joins in. And also on Barstool, we are a Twitter company. You join Barstool, you get like 50,000 followers off the rip. Boom. And all of a sudden you're like, I've got this. But it's useless but it's but it's not hard to get 50 000 on tiktok either bro chuck chuck posted about the other day jeff nadu has just been posted on tiktok for like two weeks 50k yeah like that's a great start man that works on this the fucking pat bev show like dude that's

at like 200 000 followers within 25 episodes of the show. That's crazy. It's like going insanely fast. This show is brought to you by BetterHelp.

And it's like, here's the proof. Here's how to do it. And they're like, I'm going to go send 10 tweets. It's crazy. I feel like Pat Bev has – there was a time not too long ago, but I remember being like a little worried. I was like this is like an inflection point for this show. Like is it going to go or is it going to just be like we don't really give real opinions because we don't want to ruffle feathers and we don't – and I think he kind of like really committed to it it feels like.

I think that there's legitimacy to him not being able, feeling like he couldn't talk when he was on the Lakers. Whether it's the Lakers tradition or being around LeBron every day. You know what I mean? So he loosened up when he went to Charlotte. He's drinking Miller Lights, talking shit, popping shit about people.

But he hasn't said as much. You just noticed it yourself? He said he's like, I don't want the Lakers to make the playoffs. They were like, they were trying to, like, he's kind of giving secrets. No, but I'm saying he, has he said, now that I'm off the Lakers, I'm loosened up. He said it before he got traded. He was like, because we got, we pointed out this inflection point to him. And we're like, hey, like, we need to, you know what I mean?

And he's like i need to get out of la he's like very very uh blunt about this is like in mid-december he's like i gotta get out of la like and uh i mean a couple months later and he made the best of it while he was in la he was positive he even embraced the social media for when lebron was breaking the scoring record like he was like filming him on the bench or whatever. So he ramped his shit up, but also he's in a better situation now. He's more influential. He can talk more.

He's at home in Chicago. But I think there was that point. But I mean, it is such like a young show, like 25 episodes in, like it's very, very new. There is that point with, not point, but there is that issue, I guess, when we hire athletes, because you can go one of two ways. You can go like,

look, I've been the king forever. I don't give a fuck about this company. I'm me. And we've had athletes who did that. And it didn't work out so well. And then you have the Bussins, the Chicklets, and it's like, oh, just come and be one of the boys. And I think Pat Peck has very much done that in Chicago.

He's been in the Chicago office. It feels like... And he clowns on them for being the boys. And I think, I think Pat has very much done that. Chicago. He's been in Chicago office. It feels like he's just pal. And he like, he clowns on them for being big boys. Even he opt on the rundown the other day with me and Dave, mostly banter with Dave. And he was like,

he's good at like toe in the line, still being a professional. He's a good teammate in a locker room. You know what I mean? You can see why he's chilling. Even yes. On the pod that came out yesterday, he started off whispering. He's like, yo, Eddie can't park.

I saw Eddie go three times trying to parallel park and he just pulled away. He's a little fucking gossip queen diva like the rest of us. Yeah, exactly. I don't know if he's going to be at the Chicago office or whatever, but he's going to be mixing it up with like fucking big tea or whatever. That's fucking great. No, that's – and what's cool about your show, it will be seasonal because – meaning that like every year a new basketball season starts, it will galvanize again. There's a 40-week contract too. So like I mean there's 52 weeks in a year.

So there's that 12-week kind of lull where it's like it'll be nice to be able to take that lull mentally but also the show can ramp back that's another thing i think the horse is out of the barn on this one but i long have said i think we should have seasons as podcasts like every other fucking thing in the world and i think there's this inherent fear again do as you say and as i do because i feel like if we stop doing this show and you start listening to Rowan and Pat Bev you're never going to go back to my show and I worry about that so I don't do it but if we were to take a month off and there's a series season finale that we hype up big and a season premiere that we hype up big and we clear our heads and I mean look at Sunday conversation like that's like right that that happens periodically you know what i mean there's a certain time of the year that it happens it

happens throughout football season it crushes it lives on social while it's not happening and when it comes back it's fucking huge i remember yp got burned real bad on that one he uh i mean he did a couple of dummy things that we know about but dave was like, where's your fucking show? You haven't put anything out in three months. And he was like, I'm filming it. I'm editing it. It comes out in the summer or whatever the fuck it was. Right. And it was just like, no, that's not how this works.

Get your phone. This is your most powerful tool. You don't need all that. Like, well, I'm trying to film like sharks off the coast of Costa Rica, man. Like, what do you want me to do, dude? You're just there with your phone camera. You're filming sharks with your phone camera. Sharks in a cage.

Hilarious. Yeah, that would be – I think there's a few things that I would like to change that I don't think we will be able to change, but I think there's some things that we will Oh, yeah. You got to start having like all-hand meetings or some shit. I mean, I'm trying, man. I guess so. I guess – Lead us.

So how – let me ask you this. Did you see the blog Feidelberg wrote about the company outing thing? The pup putsch? Yeah. Hilarious. Hilarious. There's got to be a guy on the last chopper out of Saigon. He's one of the greatest blog lines literally ever written.

And also, I think people don't appreciate the funniness of, I've listened to Dave talk about Delivered Papers too long. Those are right together. Those are two of the greatest blog lines ever. Smashed in one spot. Yeah, hilarious. And I think that there's an imbalance number-wise with people who are not only newer than

old Barstool, but more corporate, and there's so many of them that your old Barstool personality has to be so big to counterbalance that. You know what I mean? You got to walk around being an asshole fucking trying to make up for the new shit.

But it's like you have to keep it real. Like you have to like be like, hey, like don't do that. Yeah. So that was going to be my question. Like do you think – because the other thing I hate is it's like when people make fun of small talk on a conference call. It's like, oh, we're going to talk about the weather, right? It's like the only thing worse than the small talk is the guy who refuses to engage in the small talk. It's like just do it because that's what we do.

You know what I mean? Just go through the motions. Is there a part of when you're this size of a company, you're just going to have some HR people that do some goofy shit and let's not have a conniption over it? Or is it worth being like listen we're the new york office we want to get back to old barstool right like good barstool the new the best of the new with the best of the old we're not going to do this corny shit we're not going to do this twitter shit we're going to do things this way blah blah is there is that realistic you think i think that you need cultural pillars within barstool to like hold it

down and be like hey this is like what it is and i think that uh like even guys like jack mac i think that like uh you could say what you want about his politics people have opinions both ways people probably people hate it but like he is a cultural pillar of Barstool like in that like – Hey, yeah, yeah. I got it on the flag. Robo, check this out. Cultural pillar. Check this out though.

Listen. So at the end of the day from like 4 o'clock when everybody leaves until like 7.30, he's chilling at his desk area and there's like conversations that happen. And people crowd around and people are hanging out and it feels culturally like an office setting and it's like you need people who will like be around a lot bust balls determine what the yeah stir the pot determine what the culture is make fun of what people are saying be able to take when people make fun of what they're saying like that i think that there there needs to be people who like say like hey, like, hey, this is how we do it. Or, like, be a, like, pillar, a presence that's, like, there throughout things. And it doesn't always have to be the same thing.

It could be someone who's been, like, upstairs for a long time. Like, somebody like Quiggs and, like, Greer and shit like that. That quirky humor. Yeah, I think that they, like, we all are talking about. I'll say this. All these names you're listing are people who reached out to me last night being, like, thank you. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? People who people who like understand what the culture is and like i think that those are people

who like you drop them in and that like wears off or like emanates from them like i think that's why i mean we've been hiding in our studio for five years now and we're talking about redoing out out there yeah. Got to do that. And making it a place where you can hang out. This has to be a rule when people go to Chicago, bro. They need to take everything off their desk. Dude, you cannot leave a fucking like bomb – like you can't leave a scene behind. Like you need to have your shit cleaned up or we're throwing it out.

Dude, for real. There's so much like wasted space. There's so much just nonsense. It doesn't serve its purpose. No, at all. Like it doesn't serve – When we were like sit down and blog it was it made sense now it's like we need to be able to talk and film and play a game while we get a person to open up for people's free clothes but

part of me like i remember thinking i want to do uh i want i want there to be a certain culture and i want people to act a certain way that i think is conducive to everybody benefiting and then right away that mean girls and kelly keeg should happen and I was like I can't control any of this nobody gonna listen to me you know like I think well making them making them talk to each other or making them be on the same program would have been the the main thing that could have like used their leadership could have been used in that way to be like, hey, she said this, she said this. Like you two have to talk about it because there was like – they kind of – there was never a confrontation. They still I don't think have ever talked to each other. That's also where I think – I mean I reached out to the Mean Girls and they were kind of like – like I'm not their boss.

You know what I mean? Like nobody here is going to be anybody's boss. Well, why don't they just make you their boss then? Well, you know. You know what I mean? Like nobody here is going to be anybody's boss. Well, why don't they just make you their boss then? Well, you know. You know what I mean? Like I think that there's like – I don't think all – like I don't fucking love authority, but I see the value sometimes in like having like a pecking order or some shit like that. Like I had texted Alex being like, yo, let's talk about this. I just want to check in and see how you're doing.

And she was kind of like, I'm good. And I was like, I don't think you get what I'm saying. Like we're talking about this. But I'm really not in a position to make anybody do anything why not they're not doing that to me i don't know too right dave yeah dave is a boss but he doesn't anymore so i know you would think there would be so it's either be some idea of like let's make somebody or some show or something in an official capacity, then just not doing that. It's crazy.

And that's how you end up with no leadership or culture. Can't you almost seize that? With golf fucking... What? I can't tell. Is a leg asleep? Is a back thrown out? Or were you throwing up? This is the groin you tore from sleeping.

I think I pulled my groin last night in my sleep. I'm not trying to distract. I like what we're talking about. But I just had to throw away my clothes. Hilarious. Yeah. I couldn't tell which end it was coming out of. I don't know.

I think you had your shit where you threw it up. There's about to be something bad. I don't know what. Your legs about to fall off. I think we would have benefited very much from, and whether it's me or not me, I mean, I think I make sense for it, but if they wanted to go with someone else, fine, whatever.

It's not that, though. I think you just have sense for it. But if they wanted to go with someone else, fine, whatever. It's not that, though. I think you just have to seize it. I think you just need to seize it. And, like, because, you know, Dave is not going to be like, hey, here is the baton. Totally. Like, there's never going to be that ceremony or fucking, like, a formal, like, email or some shit like that. You just have to be like, hey, like, you got to come on this show or whatever. Yeah, maybe.

Yeah. I guess you think if we were to just do that. If there's Barstool Radio, people have to come on, right? Right. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, I guess you think if we were to just do that – If there's Barstool Radio, people have to come on, right? Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or like you have 30 minutes or like – But even that, I don't know. It was almost like Dave says you have to come on. It wasn't like a Barstool Radio rule.

It was like a Dave rule sort of thing. But I guess if I just – if we just do it. But I don't know. I'm afraid of being like, yo, here's the deal. You can't be on twitter and you have to come on your show and make a tick tock and then someone goes no and i i go okay well what it's like when i can't dock your pay i can't suspend you it's like okay never mind when uh when michael's out of the office and jim's in charge and like they're

co-managing yeah and uh and and jim's like trying to fire ryan and and pam's like trying to fire Ryan and Pam's like can you fire him and he's like I don't know that's what I mean and talking and doing this doesn't help

this guy doesn't know what he's doing he's a pussy about it all I think people should really like even if you work here I think you should

kind of realize your kind of responsibility to the game don't cheat the game don't like fucking run from the fucking game. Commit to doing what...

Well, that's almost what I want to be like. I've been here for 15 years, and I know what works and what doesn't work. Sometimes, I'm not saying I did it all, and I always succeeded, but I can tell you what I did wrong and did right. And I can tell you, wasting a decade on Twitter, not a good idea.

I'm not telling you you can't, but I'm telling you, look, it was not a good use of my time. At this point, yeah, and it's definitely not for the next decade. If you project a decade, that's a bad decision. It's only worse.

But I think the first person to tell Barstool no in that content way was, I think, call her daddy. Yeah, yeah. And then they're like, we're not going to come in every day. You have to be in every day. He's like, no, we're not going to do that. But I think other people see that.

That was also, you know, they had the goods. Right, people think that they have the goods. And it's like, I don't think anybody does. Nobody's got that. Even they, I thought it would have been helpful for Barstool and maybe helpful for them if they had played ball and some of the shit that people remember the most. You're talking about the Tommy

Smoke shit last episode of this show. Right, yeah. I think you look at Brianna, who is basically Call of Daddy 2.0, maybe a tier below, but is involved in everything. Also younger. More of an upside to do that.

But is still a part of everything and respectful of us. The most dangerous game show. Right. Outliving in the fucking woods. I remember I told her flat out. I was like, you don't have to do that anymore. I love that you're doing this, but god damn, you don't have to.

So how the fuck are there people out there who are going to say no to something or be like, no, that's not me. When god damn the biggest, newest superstar on the planet is like, yeah, I'll go to the outing or whatever the fuck, you know? What do you think, John? I agree with that very wholeheartedly. I think there's a lot of people who – and like we've kind of said before where you get to the point where you're like, well, I got hired by ESPN. 15, 20 years ago, whenever you told me I got hired by ESPN I'd be like I fucking made it dude I'm good this is the new what Barstool has become

it's like alright they think I'm worth it you immediately get this level of ego and you know what no I'm coming back around on that cause like if you got hired by ESPN you're still gonna go fucking work there's a lot of people they say to go and get up and first take.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, I don't know why I said it that way. I completely misspoke. The, there are so many people now. I mean, there is. I think Dave said before, but he's like, I want in one of his rants at the company.

I think it was a public grant where he's like, he's like, just so everyone knows, there are eight people here who make this company money. I think that number has expanded. I don't think the ratio has. That's a good point. Where, like, I think it's more than... And for everybody that has continued to start to make money, there's probably way more that are not. Right.

Or the same amount. It's the same percentage of people. And, like, I don't get how, if you're not in that percentage... And there are people who are trying, and I love those people. Totally. Like, they're awesome, right? But the people who just don't really care. And then there are so many who are like and then and then it's like and you get an offer you get an offer like you'll come do the show and you're like nah what are you talking

about dude when people say no to me i'm like you know we're not we're not the fucking joe rogan experience but it's bigger than what you're doing i don't even mean being on a podcast i mean being on most dangerous game i mean doing something like that yeah all that extra shit yeah but but even just something as simple as like hey you want to come on and talk about that like oh i don't even mean on a podcast i mean being on most dangerous game i mean doing something like that all that extra shit yeah but but even just something simple is like hey you want to come on and talk about that like oh i don't know it's like what the fuck are you doing here then you know yeah why would you not or it's yeah but you know what it also is like you can lead a horse to water sort of thing and i want the people who are gonna drink i'm not gonna try to and i think it's also important that like you guys still do so much. You know what I mean? Big Cat does a lot.

PFT does a lot. These people who are in that eight, whatever, making people money. Don't tell me you don't have enough time in the day. Right. Because there are people out here who have way more shit than you. Yeah, leading by example. You need to show the people around you that it is possible to do a lot of shit, and it's not going to hurt you.

You know what I mean? It's going to be good for you. It's going to be good for the company. It will make you more money. It will satisfy all these social media metrics that you want to hit. That shit is all possible. There's no reason to run from the grind. All right.

Go from Mr. Irrelevant to a first first round pick with manscaped here what do i gotta do to get you rapping more how are we yeah you did you did yeah i guess bad timing on that front but you are your you know greatest god-given gift damn i should rap being able to fucking rap

yeah i have like i tell people all the time if i could freestyle or i could rap i'd be the most insufferable person in the world because we couldn't even have a conversation you'd be like hi what's up yeah i mean i would i would not speak i would only rap it's you know when you remember when you did wrap up every friday for a couple weeks yeah yeah i'm sure that shit's hard and i'm sure it's not easy but you don't think that right now on tiktok a verse about everything that happened this week or a few bars about donald trump getting indicted while angel reese is making fun of caitlin clark wouldn't fucking smash yeah i i agree with that i am sensitive sensitive to like being like corny you know what i mean like i'm afraid of that and like the negative feedback especially because

like if you're corny you're like making jokes or whatever it's like okay that's a corny joke like that's a thing but like what do you mean corny like like because it's not like a hard rap bar yeah or like someone just being like look at this like like uh i don't know it's like a gimmick or something yeah like this try hard white boy who's like trying to like thinks he's like i like i i and i shouldn't have that and i because i don't value that perspective that i have of myself but it is a true perspective that I have I'm like I don't want to be like I get that but like the way you'd be doing it just knowing your talent

level like when you do Bird Bird I was about to say gang bang I'm all mixed up like those are bars those are raps where it's like you're working on those Philly references and there's kind of double meaning oh shit if you're really listening.

So if you're doing that level of quality, clever wordplay, even if it's about some flavor of the moment shit, it'll be like, oh, that was a bar. This probably flies in the face of what Kevin wants. But I do very much get that. It's almost like you get those tags and eventually they become just that you lose it but it was like like podcasting was so embarrassing for a while and blogging was so embarrassing for a while and i think a soundcloud rapper and it's like oh no he's a tiktok rapper i it seems like you don't want that kind of i also just need to look at it more as

like a healthy hobby that i have you know what i mean it's not look at it as you there's talent that you you're not maximizing, you know? That's true. That's true, too. It's like if you could play an instrument and you don't or you could play a sport

and you don't. But it's like, I don't think... So it's like, if it's an instrument, like, every guy who, like, loves guitar, even if they're, like,

sick at it, like, they don't have to be making, like, top 40 hits to be a good guitarist. Even if it results in you going on tour, like, whatever, we do pop punk shows. It can just be a hobby that you do. it results in you going on tour like whatever we do pop punk shows, PFT's sick of guitar

it's still a hobby for him you know what I mean so I think it can even satisfy that find your version of pop punk then doesn't have to be a weekly rap but maybe a quarterly it's like a mental cop out for me in some ways when I'm like oh we're just it's like a parody when it's like you know

what I mean I'm joking you know what I mean that's like I can kind of like hide under the shroud of that but I do just need to stop being a pussy and like just fucking because I have like tons of I used to love going to the studio when I was in Philly I spent so much time I mentioned that content alone yeah they just do

a vlog of that and that can be your cut or I get a studio here you want a studio if we put a booth in right over there then it would be funny i mean i know you may have heard we're redecorating the studios like a wood panel maybe if you um well you when was that ep now it was a little while it was my 30th birthday so i mean i'm turning 35 this month yeah so It was a little while ago. It was my 30th birthday, so I'm turning 35 this month. Yeah, so that was a while ago.

But that just doesn't jump out to you to make original music, like original songs right now? I can put out a stake, too, in a month if I just master the songs I have. I just don't. It's just like the mental block of not putting it out or like – you know what I mean? And it's a very pussy thing to do but like not wanting to like throw it into the arena to be like judged and like critiqued or whatever because like – Why don't we start off this show talking about it? I know.

I'm a pussy. I'm like – I completely like – Let's be about it. Let's shit out. That's why I'm asking. I'm like studying Feidelberg. I'm like how do I rewire my brain so I'm not in the feedback loop of like seeking approval of other people? But isn't it so crazy, dude?

You're literally a fucking rap battle champion of the world multiple times. You are a featured MC for the Pat Stay pay-per-view. You're like so – nobody is going to call you corny. It's not a rewiring of the brain. It's just you just bury your head in the sand yeah yeah just don't look i mean we we don't even have anything that can compare to like the level that you know like you've proven it you know like that you are not corny that like and i don't i think you have enough respect in the rap game that people would be like oh that's what rome's doing now maybe it's not a fucking Kendrick Lamar deep album.

It's a fucking rap every week or whatever. But it's like you are proven in the rap game. Yeah. I mean, this is good. This is the kind of kick in the ass that I need. I'm going to hound you until you do something with it. All right. I'll send you some tracks.

Too good of a rapper. Let me know which ones I should put out. All right. I'll just put them out myself. You son of a bitch. This fucking new episode is just a rap song from Roan. Gotta do it, dude.

Fuck yeah. And condolences on your dog, by the way, man. Thank you, dude. That was a tough scene. Yeah, that shit fucking sucked.

Yeah. That's what I mean, man. Life just, you know, it's like you never had experienced the loss of a puppy because it's never

happening now. Yeah, I got a dog within six, but my first dog I ever got, bro. I was dude this dude i have the opposite of the Midas touch my boys are dying my dogs are dying bro this shit is depressing as hell bro i want to hang out with me no you are one of the fucking kings here and i think you're gonna be a big big part of new york too We've said that before and I really mean it. Appreciate you guys. Son of a Boy Dad I think I've noticed

a change. Little Sasquatch is going to be a super famous comedian. He really is. Full stop. This shit's going to happen. It might take five years but he's so funny, cares so much, works so hard, studies so hard. Going through Barstool Sports, other comedians. You know what I mean? He's so funny, cares so much, works so hard, studies so hard.

Going through Barstool Sports, other comedians. You know what I mean? He's going to be such a stud. It's not a penny stock by any means, but buy him. Buy now. Son of a boy, dad. Because this shit is only getting better. He's getting funnier.

He's getting more comfortable. You're doing social better. You're producing it better. You're taking it more seriously. Nick's been helping a lot with that shit with that yeah and that makes a big difference man it really does and and you can tell already shout out to tyler and mook who just grind on that shit if you got son of a boy dad pat bev something with music pop punk and just like your natural you know go out and make a video do a vlog storm chase whatever comes next like

you'll have a full ass resume career right there you know like there's like we do the yak every day like i and i love the yak so much but i welcome the new creative like control that i'll have without those like sometimes you know 10 hours a week in the middle of the day 10 hours a week is a lot when you know it's not on to be yeah yeah and just and also that means you can't go anywhere an hour before or an hour after because, you know what I mean? Right. It frees up your day. It's anchoring the day.

Yeah, for sure. Are you guys going to do – we can cut this too if you want. But are you guys going to have like a yak type thing once they leave? I don't know. I don't know. I was talking with Francis about that and we can keep it in. I don't mind. We should figure something out on that front.

There's not an answer. I do think having a radio should figure something out on that front. There's not an answer. I do think having a radio. But something like that. We were talking about it. But like whether it's rotating or certain – like the same people. We're trying to figure out ways that we could differentiate it and add some structure but like a loose structure. Yeah.

I mean where it still lends itself to a freewheeling conversation. In a perfect world, it would be like somehow we all sit out there and play some pool, drink some beers, fucking shoot, pop a shot. And while we're doing those things, conversations happen that somehow that gets broadcasted out to the world. Right. Because those are the most honest. That's why Friday Night Pints – I know. I know. We got to –

That could be that thing. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like Kelly Keegs, Mean Girls, come on Friday Night Pints. We'll hash it out. We'll hash it out, yeah. We have an idea for a Friday Night Pints. We'll hash it out. You know what I mean? We have an idea for a Friday Night Pints type deal that I think we're going to do. That is just one that it has to work.

If it doesn't work, then people just don't like us or something. Format and all. It just makes sense. I think we just got to do it. And I think having the right people and a little bit of freedom, like you said, with some of the people moving around, I think it'll all be there. It's a Friday afternoon show, but it would be like it could come on Friday night, the one we talked about last week. I think there will be something to replace Friday night points, and it won't be called that, at Barstool. But I'd like some kind of, like you were saying, too, if we could find out some way to have a daily type thing.

Because there is shit that's like, fuck, we've got to talk about today. It's like, well, it's Thursday. New podcast is only going to come out until Tuesday. And that shit is dead by then. Some kind of anchor. That live element is important. Another thing that I want to shout out, Dollar Slices of Life. It's a live comedy show that Owen does in the city.

I think that there is like unlimited upside on potential. If Barstool New York is going to be like a comedy thing, doing live shows. And like, I mean, it would be like, I don't, I don't know if this is realistic or you guys have thought about this,

but like having a comedy club or some shit like that, that was like downstairs or some shit like that. We'll just be like, once Caroline closed the other day, I was like, a couple months ago now i was like you know there's kind of a void there the only thing i've heard is like i'm thinking about well we'll do it this way and we'll maybe we'll pay better and we'll have this and we'll have that and people will want to hang out and then they'll go on stage it'll be like a real cultural place for comedy and maybe music and and just enter you just hanging out.

And then everyone's like, cool, cool, cool. It turns into like running a bar and running a restaurant where you're just worried about like the margins on your chicken fingers and shit like that. And you got to worry about insurance. But the people who say that don't work for a company that fucking pisses money away. We open bars like this. We got that on the bar. We got that on the bar. You know what's crazy?

When they're like, yo, 90% of bars within the first year close, ours just won't close. Yeah. Oh, no. We'll never make money. It'll just be.

It'll just exist. We'll be like our own pod of five employees. It doesn't make money. It's just here and it's a good time i think that that's valuable because it uh it gives a hub for people who are comedians at barstool to perform it gives us some type of ownership of something that we could do to curate a voice as far as comedy

and it gives people who are fans of barstool something to do when they come to New York. They can touch Barstool. It's like a tangible, you know what I mean? It's something I wouldn't say by any stretch has been discussed seriously, but it's something that's been discussed. But you know what? The things I never even thought about was like, I was talking to a comic who was kind of like,

other clubs are so territorial that it becomes like, if you go on stage there, you don't have your regular spot anymore at my place. Interesting. And it's like, well, fuck, I didn't even think about having to go to war

with other club owners, you know? But, you know, just things like that where it's like, oh, okay, it's not as easy as, you know, just like, oh, we'll pay good and everyone will love it. It's like,

that's not really how it works, you know? I almost think just having a policy for that. It would be naive to be like, we can just run a club. Yeah, yeah, yeah. pay good and everyone will love it. It's like, that's not really how it works. I almost think just having a policy for that. It would be naive to be like, we can just run a club. Yeah, yeah. I think it would be extremely hard. I think you start with a show. Yeah. And then you build towards something like that.

Or I was thinking like you rent out like a loft once a month or whatever. Totally. You don't have the club yet. Totally. You're just like, but if we did, this is what it would be like. And people, you know. I just think that there's. It's a long process.

Yeah, it's a long process. But the fact that they're putting on shows, I think that that satisfies the building of our voice of a brand, of a consistent group of people. You know what I mean? There are the comedy seller, Marquee Club, also a notch below Super Marquee Club, but I think that there is space to do different types of comedy shows

and i think if we're trying to make this into a comedy brand i think that'll be very very cool things for sure on the table man i'm not running it i don't want to fucking run it i know you motherfuckers aren't trying to run a fucking comedy club but you get the right people that's what it's really all about it's like delegating that's why i get get Owen in there, bro. Owen's running the cell already, bro. He doesn't drink. He'll be chilling. That's the main problem with bar owners. I'm watching them. They're fucking getting shit paid. All right, bro. Good shit.
