Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey KFC radio listeners, you can find every episode of KFC radio on Apple podcast, Spotify or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad free on Amazon music. I just saw you were illegal because you had turned 18. It was an under 18 tournament. Miyagi stole the black belt. None of this should have been allowed. But he was also drinking scotch in front of this teenager. Talking about World War II.

Starting point is 00:00:23 It's another edition of KFC radio on the Barstool Sports Network. We got a full house. 15 year old Steve is back in the motherfucking building. Una behind the glass. Pads and Jackie. So, you know, the family is a big squad. Big, big for us, man. I mean, you go back to like, it was probably a period of time where it was like just me and you for a little bit, right?

Starting point is 00:00:46 I mean, it was me, you, my brother. And then by the time my brother left, I guess Jackie and Nick had kind of, you know, gone back in. But yeah, I mean, from three to three to six, three to five is a big, big difference. So we got a whole team here. I am covered in ketchup. OK, I hadn't seen anything. I was just going to be like, what's all over you? Covered in ketchup. Okay. I haven't seen anything. I was just going to be like, what's all over you? Covered in ketchup. How does this happen? First of all, what a stroke of luck, I guess.

Starting point is 00:01:12 I'm wearing red pants the day that I get covered in ketchup. I come to work. I go to the kitchen. I get a bagel, not a bacon, egg and cheese, no salt pepper ketchup. I just had a bagel with cream cheese. I come, I sit down, I eat my bagel. I do a one minute man video. And then I was cheese, no salt pepper ketchup. I just had a bagel cream cheese. I come, I sit down, I eat my bagel, I do a one minute man video. And then I was like, it smells like ketchup.

Starting point is 00:01:29 And I looked down and this, I mean, you can see it, but when it was like dark and wet, it was like, it looked like I was covered in blood. And I was like, I'm looking around, you never know in here. It was like, did I get booby trapped? Did I sit on a bacon, egg and cheese? What is going on?

Starting point is 00:01:44 So I grabbed Jackie to film it and I was like we got to like crack the case We got to figure this out. And so I retraced my steps. I go back to the kitchen and I was like, okay Here's where I leaned over the table. I'm thinking maybe I bumped up against it I was like, I don't know what's going on and then Jackie's like, what's that? And there was a ketchup packet on the floor and I must have just stepped on it pop and I was just covered in ketchup and it smelled like that ketchup smell Did you see the video that I sent?

Starting point is 00:02:11 It was like you looked back and you went, what? I was, I mean it was gonna ha- I'm happy she saw that It was gonna haunt me for the rest of my life I was like, looking around, like how do you just get covered in ketchup? Red rum, red rum Yeah, and I, and I I I I mean I didn't hear it pop or anything but I must have just it was it was on like the cabinets I mean it exploded that's this this place is it's not up kept not

Starting point is 00:02:39 there's not a lot of upkeep no no I mean it's next to the dumpster and there was they were keeping track of how long, in the other bathroom, there was a cockroach in the middle of the floor. And they just kept track for how long it was there for. It was like two weeks. Like, it was just like, very obvious that no one cleaned the bathroom for two weeks. It was just, there was a cockroach in the middle of the floor and everyone was like, cockroach is still there. That is fucking disgusting, man. That is actually fucking gross. Do we think the R studio is the grossest? Probably.

Starting point is 00:03:13 Yeah. Probably up there. Um, it's not the girls. Son of a boy dad is kinda like- That could be close, yeah. They can't be great, right? It's not great. We've been in here the longest and lived in it the most and are here.

Starting point is 00:03:28 We literally lived in it at times. Yeah, right. Slept in here, lived in here. It's not great. It's Jackie's fault. Why? I feel like you're supposed to clean this. We got new interns to blame.

Starting point is 00:03:42 Get your interns in line, man. Guys, seriously, clean it up. I feel like I see that you've gone into your, uh, like, summer Canadian tuxedo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a good fit. Oh, thanks. Thanks. And, uh, your shoes. You wanna put your shoes on? Yeah, I'm a Flats girlie. It's a pretty big, pretty big, um, you know, shift. So just don't be alarmed.

Starting point is 00:04:03 If a new personality starts to come out. What tanning lotion are we using here? Oh okay I'm sorry you asked. So everyone you know I've tried out a lot of the tanning lotions it's just a good old CVS brand but right now don't look closely because I haven't shaved my legs and it's like it's a bad tan right now it's like been kind of like. I was gonna say I wouldn't I wouldn't shout out this brand. Okay first of all my skin's all dry stop licking my legs. I was gonna say I think it looks fine I don't I wouldn't shout out this brand. Oh. Well, OK. First of all, my skin's all dry. Stop looking at my legs. I was going to say, I think it looks fine.

Starting point is 00:04:29 I don't have a. You look up close. That's really not. OK. But today's supposed to be the last day of the tan, so it's like, I need to exfoliate. Just don't worry about it. Tomorrow I'm going to be looking good.

Starting point is 00:04:40 Is there anything else we should worry about? What? Is there anything else we should worry about? Yeah, OK. Can we do that? Yeah, so we've been teasing this for like a week. I can't even remember what the thing was. So refresh my mind.

Starting point is 00:04:50 Yeah, it's just like, I just asked chatgbt to come up with like phrases kind of like. Oh, speaking of. Yeah. Oh, OK. Like, look what the cat dragged in, or like, I only saw the first one. I tried not to look at any of them, but like not my circus, not my monkeys.

Starting point is 00:05:06 The only one I know that's in there. And then so we, what do we do with it? We pick it. We don't tell anybody. And then we have to try and slip it into conversation stealthily. And if you get caught, then then you have to pluck out six arm hairs. Okay. Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah. That was, we were trying to come up with the, uh, the punishment. Jackie was to come up with the punishment, Jack. He was like, I don't know, like, pluck your arm hairs. I was like, that's it. Obviously, that's what it's going to be.

Starting point is 00:05:28 I have a different punishment that I would like to do. I don't know. We don't have to do it for this. I think this is a funny punishment and I think someone should have to do it at some point. I think we should all have to do it at some point. I think it's funny. It is like, you know, like sometimes when say someone performs at the Grammys and then like their local mic leaks,

Starting point is 00:05:52 you know, like the mic, like they were actually, like they were dubbed or they were lip syncing, but like you can actually hear them being like, girls, they wanna have fun. So we have to do a local mic concert. So like we'd have to dance and sing and and as much as we can and then and we'll put on like five songs say and then it gets edited into like a one minute clip that can never go anywhere because we can't put out anything. I was gonna say we can't do anything. But just

Starting point is 00:06:20 picturing like Paz, Jackie, Kevin, myself, anybody trying to dance and sing. There's no routine, there's no choreography. You just gotta put on a concert. You gotta do it on this table, that just came to me. You gotta do it on this table. This table's not gonna hold. This table's like way fair. And then it gets edited and it's just our voice

Starting point is 00:06:38 that goes out. Okay. Oh, because we can't play the music. We can't play the music, so it's just our voice. And you don't get to learn the lyrics, it's just like we put on songs that you probably know. And you got to sing and dance as best you can to say four or five songs.

Starting point is 00:06:50 Kevin and I are pretty staunchly, we're not going to sing and dance. I think that you're kind of always trying to. If anybody just wants to do this. Wouldn't it be funny and really good for content if we did a little karaoke concert? That would be fun. You get up there in a dress and high heels, and you just sing Taylor Swift. Wouldn't that be funny? We should for content if we did a little karaoke concert? That would be fun. Get up there in a dress and high heels and you just sing Taylor Swift.

Starting point is 00:07:07 Wouldn't that be funny? We should all do that. I'll go first and second and third. The people who are not performing, they choose the music, they choose the songs. You're just there. And then those people have to just sit there and they watch? They watch. Oh yeah.

Starting point is 00:07:20 Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Okay, I see the vision. I don't want to... But here's the thing also it's like We know this we're not the team to do things right now. First of all, I want on the record. We're doing something Six arm here is much easier than like doing a full concert type thing. I say let's ease into it Okay, but I'd like this idea and we'll do it but I just don't what it's just like but I like this idea and we'll do it. But I just don't, what?

Starting point is 00:07:44 It's just like so hard to work in naturally. I know, I know that's a point. Yeah, mine is. I'm just gonna grab a second one. I will do my first, I just wanna see like if they're all as hard as this one or if I grabbed a bad one. Okay.

Starting point is 00:08:02 Do you guys wanna, it's like a kind of opposite. Yeah, Steve's gonna say one it's like you kinda bomb it. Yeah, well, yeah. Yeah. Steve's gonna say one thing and he's gonna be like... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Get ready to pick out six arms. I'll get the tweezers today.

Starting point is 00:08:16 Okay, so it says use... No! Don't! Oops. Yeah. I could get six arms, and there's no problem. No. There's one. I still wanna play, uh. I still wanna play,

Starting point is 00:08:27 I still wanna play my game I invented, my taboo game. Okay, what is it? It's like, it's like, it's like pyramid, where you have to get somebody to say a word.

Starting point is 00:08:41 You know what I mean? Like a clue giver and then a word sayer, right? Clue giver, word sayer, okay. But if, a word you know I mean like a clue-giver and then a word-sayer right clue-giver word-sayer okay but if okay so it's let's say it's our turn right and our word is meat okay okay and let's say we were playing without other KC radio people right yeah so the idea is you have to get your partner to be able to say the word but if the other teams meet so we can say the word too, then it cancels out. You don't get points.

Starting point is 00:09:10 So if I were to say something like you cook this when you're doing barbecue, everybody would be like meat, right? Or they could guess that. But if we were playing with people who didn't know you and I say you wear sweatshirts that have this on it a lot. Oh, yeah. Only me and you would know me. It's kind of like the TikTok trend where it's like people hold up their phone. Okay. But the other team can also guess it like you don't get any points. So it's basically like a

Starting point is 00:09:34 best friend test. It's like do we have our own insight? Yeah do we have enough inside jokes with each other? It doesn't have to be inside jokes but it could just be like things that I know you know that like if I were to be like um we always joke that you're from you're not from yes, but other people might not know that you know But so if you say it like in a general way anybody could guess it so you have to like how well do you know somebody? It's like a best friend test. I don't know what the name of it would be It also reminds me of the other game that we were gonna play the stroke like picking straws Short end of the stick I think we we were going to call that one.

Starting point is 00:10:05 Yeah, what's that one? The one we played at the Delta Lounge at the airport. Yeah. Yeah. But what? It was basically just short straws and it was whoever had to. We all wanted to shower. But like none of us really wanted to. And it was whoever got the short straw.

Starting point is 00:10:18 So we just had to pass. That was me. Yeah. Yeah. And I walked right in with them. Yeah. I think all of us ended up showering. Right. Did you? Boozer. We Yeah, and I walked right in with him. Yeah. I think all of us ended up showering, right? Did you? Boozer.

Starting point is 00:10:26 We just showered everywhere. I didn't love my shower. Oh, I loved it. It was just, I kept, you know what it was like? It was a delight. It was like... I was on the phone in my shower. You know when you can hear and you're staying in a hotel

Starting point is 00:10:38 and you can hear all the doors opening and closing, so you never really like relax? Yeah. You know what I mean? It's like the big lock opening, the big lock closing, and I was just like showering, but I could constantly hear doors opening and closing, so you never really relax. You know what I mean? It's like the big lock opening, the big lock closing, and I was just like showering, but I could constantly hear doors opening. And I kept being like,

Starting point is 00:10:51 well yeah, you're in a very public shower now. I was like, is that my shower? Is that my door? And then I was like, no, you locked it. And I never really chilled. I was at a wedding this weekend, and my parents were there, it was a family wedding, and they were right above or below my hotel room.

Starting point is 00:11:05 And my mom goes to me, so don't be making any noise. I was like, Jesus Christ. So I turned my porn down. Thanks for the tip. That was awkward as shit. Yeah, I was at Dana's wedding this weekend. The yeah. The is such like a Massachusetts thing that I think at least I don't know

Starting point is 00:11:28 we're the Dana got married a very nice place and Everyone I've spoken to at the wedding or outside of the wedding who I told where the wedding was Everyone's reply so Peyton Pritchard got married I'm like the ninth best player on the Celtics. Like that's the biggest thing about this place. For Dana, that was probably like, fuck it. But it wasn't just like the people at the, like because I was in Massachusetts all weekend, every, I was in three separate locations. I was like, yeah, is it the Witch Mirror Beach Club?

Starting point is 00:11:58 Oh, Peyton Pritchard got married there. Why do you all know that? It's because his wife is very famous. She's way more famous and richer than him. I forget her name. Do you know? Emma McDonald. Yeah. Oh, okay. So that makes more sense.

Starting point is 00:12:12 She's a famous TikToker. Yeah. Model. That solves that one. Dude, I spent time with Eddie this weekend. What a gem. Got to be my favorite person. Did you see he brought that pizza to Vindog?

Starting point is 00:12:22 I did not. He had told me he was with Vindog. I actually, it made me like check myself where I was like, I would never do that. In a million years, I wouldn't think to do that. That was a really nice thing he did. I was driving home today and I was just thinking about him and I was like, there are probably a hundred people

Starting point is 00:12:39 at Barstool who make their money, who are professional talkers. None of us are better than Eddiedie. Yeah, you like he just he the way he like He's so engaging but he's like Like he doesn't pressure you and he's so fucking funny and that accent man Dude, he did. Yeah, I know what like last time I talked about him I did like his face thing. He did the same thing again today where he's like He was talking about all the places he'd been in Massachusetts and he's like,

Starting point is 00:13:05 in the Spindlinwood cafe. And I was like, no, he goes, good pizza. Like the way he says, he's also just somebody that you like, you just, you just want, you root for him. I like, I like, I enjoyed being at the wedding and watching Eddie operate because he would just walk around like, I don't, I don't even know how he, I don't think he knew the people he would just be at a new cocktail table talking to new people and I was like that's fucking

Starting point is 00:13:29 I was I was so mad when he won Survivor what was just like the second the second I knew that I was up against him I was like rooting hardcore for Jackie and then he gave his speech and I was like Eddie Eddie just won yeah yeah I think I was like Jackie's gonna vote for Eddie The I also I was down the Cape so I caught up with a buddy of mine and he He was telling me a story about he was just in Puerto Rico and And the cabbies wouldn't really talk to him and he was like they always give him one way dances

Starting point is 00:13:59 Obviously the language barrier but he that started to bother him. He wanted to talk to him more So he would ask every cab he got in he would just go bad bunny or daddy jenky and they would go Like unload all this stuff and he doesn't speak Spanish, but then he would just go better No, I bad bunny seen daddy jenky and they would go No I bad bunny seen daddy janky and they would go I would go Pitbull pitbull the only reason I even got that story was because I had asked him I was just like yeah, like what even up to lately like what's your new thing you're doing and he was like What do you mean? And I said, I don't know

Starting point is 00:14:43 I've been listening a lot of Bob Dylan and he was like, what do you mean? And I said, I don't know. I've been listening to a lot of Bob Dylan. And he was like, I've been listening to a lot of Daddy Yankee. This is G. And I was like, what do you mean? What does he do when listening to Daddy Yankee? I thought he was kidding. I started laughing. And I was like, no, it's not like Bob Dylan makes more sense.

Starting point is 00:14:57 He's like, no, I've actually been listening to Daddy Yankee. I would argue there is not a white person in the world who listens to Daddy Yankee. Like you're at a bar, you're on the dance floor, you hear Gasolina, Reggaeton comes on, you know it, you'll sing it, you'll dance to it. But to be like, let me get my Spotify out, Daddy Yankee, like scroll through a couple hits. Like if you're playing a deep cut Daddy Yankee, that is fucking insane. Reggaeton 2000. In the same am Reggae tone to that I mean that like listen these are all Nina sky move your body Sean Paul I'm still in love with you. I don't know that other one Which is studying gasoline? Yeah, yeah

Starting point is 00:15:35 Man that like reggae tone movement and Sean Paul and like the 2000s was I'm going through kind of like a big ex-a-plug And like I just feel so white. Oh my god. You are the white Favorite Jackie moment nobody utilizes the invisible ink like Jack. Yeah, she's always hiding gossip You do that a lot. Oh, yeah to me. Yeah. I mean, they'll you know, if it's like somebody at work, there's some tea, there's some gossip, there's some news, something it's like, it doesn't actually do anything. But when I just makes me feel a little bit better. I get that. When I saw. So if you I posted it on social, but if you didn't, if you didn't follow, if you don't follow along with me, Jackie texted me with the invisible ink. Um, this is Saturday at noon. Who is, and I don't know if it's okay for me to say this. And then the next text was the invisible link or is it just a term? And I didn't hit it right away. And I was like, what could this be? Like a name, that's a word, that's a term.

Starting point is 00:16:48 And then she said, she thought it was a slur, but it was Jigga, Jay-Z's nickname. Can you say it? You can, right? Like, is it fine? It's funny, because like, if you switch that J with a W,

Starting point is 00:17:03 people are a lot more happy. Yeah, I was gonna say. I feel like all just like double G's are off the table Like I say the word larger I don't even say bigger I'm like that's larger than but that's so I said it's Jay-Z and she said oh, oh see that's confusing cuz he talks about himself in the third person They all talk about themselves in the third person and it's kind of like I thought it was just a good friend of his, she said. I don't know, I just hear it all the time in songs, but then I looked it up and it said that it was a slur.

Starting point is 00:17:31 What said that it was a slur? I don't know, I just looked it up and then it was like, mmm, you can't say that. And then Kevin posted it and I was like, well, I don't want to get cancelled. She DM'd me on the post and was like, wait, can I say this or not? Well, it's out there now. He didn't answer me at all. Yeah, I think I just, she sent me that or not? Well, it's out there now. He didn't answer me at all. It was up to the bottom of it, though. Yeah, I think I just, she sent me that,

Starting point is 00:17:48 and then I screenshotted that and posted that. Really? I mean, it's rooted in, I think we know why. He's Jay-Z, and he's taking the J. Oh, I actually didn't put that together. I don't think I did either. I think. Yeah, yeah, it was just kind of like.

Starting point is 00:18:02 I mean, he's got a song called Jigga my Jigga my neighbor. So like, it's all, you know, connected. Yeah. But that was that was maybe my favorite Jackie moment ever. Do we ever come up with our rap names? Like, I think what you aren't you supposed to make a great rest of the rap for me. Do you want I did like the creepiest thing I've ever done. And I all I had downloaded for my flight to move to New the rest of the rap for me. Do you wanna? I did like the creepiest thing I've ever done and all I had downloaded for my flight to move to New York

Starting point is 00:18:29 was the episode where Jackie was starting her rap song and then I lost internet and I didn't have the whole episode downloaded so all I heard was like two of the bars she said and all I had was my notes app and I was like I'm gonna get to town. And I kind of, it's kind of good. Really good. You's get on the table

Starting point is 00:18:52 Okay, so I used your initial idea I said big shoes to fill but I wear them like slippers genius I'll start MVP like I'm hardened on the clippers You which is when did you start that yeah? That was me. Wanna come for me, then you better reconsider. I'm murdering the track, call me Jackie the Ripper. I slip on your big shoes just to take out the trash. That was something you said.

Starting point is 00:19:15 Well, that was it. Watch my first rap song turn into a smash. I'll say what I want, fuck the backlash. J-Nix on the track and about to make a splash Yeah, so now so like she's your ghostwriter you have to perform here's the issue is like now that you've contributed Again, I'm like barely. I'm barely making lunch money with this thing and now I got to give you half the pro No, you can take it I was made up line. That was your line. No That wasn't what I'm barely making lunch money. No, I'm barely making much money. I gotta give you the proceeds

Starting point is 00:19:51 You just said that with your own head Just said with your own brain, I'm barely making lunch money, I gotta give you half the proceeds? No, no, I'm just saying, because that was the whole point of the song, which I was like, I know I'm not gonna like make a hundred thousand dollars from this song, I'm gonna make a little bit of lunch money. So I would say like from this song, like I'm playing it overnight, I'm barely making lunch money, but now you can get the proceeds. So are you saying, that's not your line? Like I'm playing it overnight. I'm barely making lunch money

Starting point is 00:20:39 That has to be the name of the song by the way like lunch money in parentheses and you're gonna have the proceeds The lunch money song is gonna be a smash. Yeah, that's no that's like, you know, that's how the music industry works. You're the star. She's the ghost writer. You're the intern. You're the host. She just has to do that for you. You can't get one. She gets writer credit. She'll be on the Spotify. You know, say, you know, what?

Starting point is 00:20:57 Did you hear that? No, what did you say? It's like a sandwich with no bread. Oh, fuck. I didn't hear you. You didn't say it. Pick another one. It's like a, is that a phrase? Wait, that's a question of mine. Are these phrases or you made these up? I kind of, I said, like, can you do some, I think, can you do these phrases and also can you freestyle, freestyle a little, little bit? And like, I think that they just kind of came up with their own. you sense for no bread they said it means you know one I can I can defer it for what it means but it's not very I

Starting point is 00:21:31 Don't think anyone's ever been like I'll have a sandwich no bread. I mean I guess if you're the coolest one It's no it's no embarrassing making lunch money, but Today's case your radio is brought to you by blue chew harder dicks makes for an easier life Today's KFC radio is brought to you by Bluechew.

My buddy moved from Northern California to Texas this weekend, but he was away, so he hired a moving company to do the moving, and he got to his apartment on Saturday or whatever. All the he was away, so he hired a moving company to do the moving. And he got to his apartment on Saturday or whatever. All the stuff was there. Very lucky, fantastic. But there was one box that he didn't recognize. And he opened that box up. And what was it? But a dead man. It was just some guys fucking ashes

Starting point is 00:23:46 in his house. Yeah, no, not a body, not a body. I was like, wait a second. This is going to be like an international story. But the so he like reached out to the, he found the family and then reached out

Starting point is 00:24:02 to the son on LinkedIn and was like, hey, I just got home and I'm sorry to say this, but I think I have your father here. And the guy replied like, my sister's moving this weekend. I know she would be unaware of any missing packages. Can you please provide photo authenticity? And Pat just sent back that picture and they kind of, and I don't know what to say other than thank you. Wait, so he was moving, how did this, and he got their box? He hired a moving company. And I guess somehow they.

And he had said that he had emailed them earlier because in his unpacking, he had seen that he had mailed them he had emailed them earlier because he in his unpacking he was seen that they ripped one of his paintings his favorite painting he says and So he mailed them like yo you guys fucked up my painting. What's the deal with this blah blah blah

Starting point is 00:24:54 They didn't reply to that. It's like two or three days later He's opening more boxes sees that one and just sent an email and said oh you didn't want to reply to the rib painting Well, I suggest you fuckers handle this. I don't know what to say except thank you. It's great. I've got your dead father here. That's unreal. Dude, if I moved into a new apartment and my fuck, there's just ashes.

Starting point is 00:25:20 I would leave. I'd be like, I need to get a new, I'm fucking bouncing a check in Vegas. I'm like, I got I get the fuck out of here Like you know like that's a color that was well executed I wasn't even gonna bring it up. The only reason I brought that story up was to say How can I bounce like a chicken Vegas? Wait, what does it bounce like a chicken Vegas? Yeah. That's a tough one to work in there.

Starting point is 00:25:52 I don't know how that would ever work. What else have we got? Oh wait, I can get my hairs out. No, no, no, because you did it. I don't think you got called out. I did get called out. Kevin did. That's two. I mean, Fodderberg only has about seven on his arm You're about to pluck 99% of the hair on your body

Starting point is 00:26:09 That's disgusting. There's something about this that rubs me the wrong way. I think my fingers are like... Five What? Well two and then two is four then another one was five. I don't trust you. Mathematic expert over here. You can take them I don't even hurt you want to take them out? We need a new... we might need a punishment. Maybe maybe uh like Jackie should just throw a bag of chips in your face. Do you think that was the most mad at me you've ever been? Don't answer that question actually. Don't answer that question. No, because it might be though, but yeah, we can go through the list of all the times. Plenty of times. Yeah, no, I'm more mad at like that than like if you fuck up at work for the millionth time.

Starting point is 00:26:48 That's like whatever. But just wrecking my face. You said to. I don't think I did. It was supposed to hit you in the face. You were mad because you kept missing his face. And then you were like... But then I...yeah.

Starting point is 00:27:03 Oh man, Charlie. Speaking of fucking up, Pabs, first fuck up ever? Wait. Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, one could argue that this is, it almost became a good thing because it became like material. It's like everything, we're like, way worse is way better than middle of the road.

Starting point is 00:27:21 Yeah. The, it was also, I didn't, not that it would have been good either way, but once, I thought it was just wallpaper. I didn't realize. Me too. So that's where I actually think, that's where he did a bad job is that I didn't even know what it was.

Starting point is 00:27:34 So wait, so if you don't know, so last episode came out and we promoted it on social. And usually it's like a picture of us, like, photoshopped with like, the person we Photoshopped with like the person we're talking about or the topic we're talking about. And this was like a stock photo of just a man and a woman arguing in like a living room. And I was like, this sucks.

Starting point is 00:27:55 And we were like, it's got to be Uno, the interns, like somebody did this that's new. I would imagine we all had Pavs at the bottom of the list. And he was like, nope, it was me. But it was the story John had told was about a guy from Reddit who was discharging his gun left and right in the house. And so the wall in Pavs' Photoshop picture had bullet holes in it. But I don't think anybody recognized that right away.

Starting point is 00:28:26 So it just looked like one of those Shutter Shock pictures. I knew it was AI, but I was like, I don't know what this is even about. Well, it was Photoshop AI. It wasn't chat GBT. But fights went in on Twitter. It went in on me. It was like some intern asked for a boring way to promote a podcast. I didn't go in on anything. I just said what it was.

Starting point is 00:28:49 But it wasn't. But it was. I said it was wrong. But still, that is what it is. Sure, yeah. But perhaps I would be like, it was me. Like, like, that whole thing. It's just a voice note and everything.

Starting point is 00:29:01 Like, before sending that, I'll give the quick backstory. I usually post a YouTube thumbnail. I woke up, YouTube wasn't allowing me to download the thumbnail. And I'm like on my way to work, so I don't have a laptop with me. So I just quickly kind of just do it on my phone. And then I felt really guilty doing it.

Starting point is 00:29:16 But like this will be a placeholder, because it takes me an hour to get to the office. So I would be like, really? Yeah, well, from my old apartment, I just moved into a new apartment. I was going to say, not for long. Not for long, yeah. It took me 20 minutes this morning. It was a breeze. I lived in an alphabet city

Starting point is 00:29:29 Takes an hour. It took like 45 minutes. Yeah Wow in Manhattan in Manhattan. Yeah Wow. Yeah, it's the worst city in the world But uh, yeah Then I was just like I could rather wait an hour and not promote the show till because I always promoted nine not promoted till Ten yeah, so they all just have this as a placeholder and no one will notice. Five minutes later that one died, then Jon tweeted about it. It was noticed.

Starting point is 00:29:53 It was a thing, I was like sick the whole day about it. I was like, oh, that's crazy. I'm gonna vent my anger. Because of the chat-chee-bee-tee thing. But anyone, like, I wasn't mad, I was just saying what it was. No, it wasn't like sick over that. It was sick.

Starting point is 00:30:06 I was like I felt guilty doing it and then I was like, fuck. That was a fucking mistake. Well, it's so funny because the you know, I understand that the that chat GPT can make like really good graphics now like on the fly, but it's all like relatively speaking. This picture still like stink. Yeah, it's like, but yeah, John's was, I don't know what this is, but there's a new episode out today. I assume a new intern asked chat GPT for a boring nonsense way to promote a podcast? Question mark. See, that's why I like, that's not how I meant

Starting point is 00:30:38 it at all. I just meant it like, yeah, there's a new episode out today. This promo sucks. There is an episode out today. But you know know if you were like fights coming for heads today I Was more sick over the fact that Jackie tweeted it was paths now people know that I use chat you say No, I'm not I also would like to like defend and nobody's bringing on your dump more than me I like to defend, and nobody's bringing on your dumb ball more than me. I didn't think it was that bad. It was just boring.

Starting point is 00:31:09 Nobody wishes the worst for you. There's no context. You didn't know what's the episode about. What is this picture about? If there was a screenshot of the Reddit conversation with the bullets, and you saw the bullets. Maybe the bullet holes in the back were just more- I didn't even see the bullet yeah I saw I just thought it was well because we can't show guns and it's you know it's kind of like problem yeah it was trying to be like a little bit like oh what is

Starting point is 00:31:34 this granted it looked like wall paper if I like that I don't know I was not if I was bad I would just text you I wouldn't like make a Make a public like a scene about it But if people thought that's what it was and again It's the point is to get it was arguably the best promo we've had in got a long thousand four hundred thousand impressions And I didn't run this all the whole time. I know this is gonna happen. So that's why I did this This is all plan. It's so funny because it's like if you could just fake that stuff all the time It'd be great, but you really can't. Right.

Starting point is 00:32:07 Like if today, for this episode you tried to do another one, it would be like, nah, that's... Yeah, yeah. Now you're trying too hard, now we notice it, whatever. It's gotta... Your stupidity just has to be natural. Otherwise it's not effective. That's what Jackie works on all the time. No, I was, like, I was, you know, excited for your first fuck up. I was going to go all in, but like I can't really.

Starting point is 00:32:27 I mean, you said that first fuck up. Is that true? You've never fucked up. No, first month as an intern, I deleted Taylor Tomlinson's ATI. I was going to say, I really wasn't ATI deleted. Right. Right. Pretty clean slate ever since. I thought it was a prank. No, you're not pranking me because like Nick told you.

Starting point is 00:32:43 Oh, we said it was going to be like, what did we say? You said it was like Taylor was texting me about how excited she was. She's gonna play it before the garden, right? Great That was my phrase. I had a feeling! I had a feeling, god damn! You think I would say something like that? But that is a phrase! He was on the struggle bus. That was good! I think. Six arm hairs, everybody. Yeah, I guess that's the rule, right?

Starting point is 00:33:15 Yep. Get them out, everybody. Everybody. I just got like six in one burst right there. Oh, that's easy. Yeah. We probably could have come up with a better phrase. You can hear mine get... Got like six and one burst right there. That's easy. Yeah. We probably could.

Starting point is 00:33:27 You can hear mine get. Yeah. I don't think I'm able to. Yeah. I was a quick pause piece. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Well, while John's here, I guess we can just do our little next post mortem.

Starting point is 00:33:40 Sad. It is sad. It is sad. I was just arguing with Dave on the rundown about how much people relish beating the Knicks. And they're trying to like deny that that's the case. It's like, everything, like everybody either says like the Knicks are irrelevant and haven't won and they don't mean anything. But then when they win Halliburton's making videos, Miles Turner's posting Family Guy clips, they're tweeting at Ben Stiller, Dave's making shirts. Like, you wouldn't be doing this for the Pistons. It's almost as if they'd be like the defending champions, or like a legacy team.

Starting point is 00:34:13 And then Dave's like, well you bring it upon yourselves by being... I mean yeah, listen, we have a very passionate, crazy, wild fan base, and it drives other people crazy. Admit that though. Admit that it drives you nuts and I would do this for any team. No you wouldn't. No you wouldn't. If the fucking Atlanta Hawks... It would be nothing. No one would watch. Orlando Magic, yeah. So it's a weird dynamic where it's like I do understand the people saying why are they the Mecca, they haven't won in so long, all that's true but there's just... I don't know what it is it may and I

Starting point is 00:34:46 think it actually just ties back I do know what it is it's the city it's New York it's just like New York envy or whatever but you know there's a reason why Kobe Jordan and LeBron always play good at the garden there's a reason why people get up for these moments they hate the celebrities they hate the fans they they hate it at all but then you can't turn around and be like the next don't mean anything because they clearly mean something And it's so good for the league that they're good. Yeah, hopefully it continues, but yeah, and Halberd thinking that he won MVP though Oh, that was so good that that gave me a little bit a little bit of solace that would have been did you see that?

Starting point is 00:35:18 I did I saw the game, but I turned it off too because I was sick of it But like that, you know, EJ was like, you know However, he hyped it up. Like, and they wouldn't have done it without this guy. You know, he led the team. He was like a monster. He was unstoppable. And Halliburton the whole time is like, yeah, yeah. And he's like, your Eastern Conference Finals MVP.

Starting point is 00:35:38 And he starts to step up and like Pascal Siakam. That felt good. But the thing about Halliburton, and this is more about the Olympics than this, I feel like he'd even make that moment funny. Remember what he did with the Olympics? The FD Olympics where he was flashing his gold being like when you got an A on the group project. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know Halliburton that well. Unfortunately, he's now like mortal blood enemy for the rest of time. I don't know Albert in that well. I Unfortunately, he's now you know like mortal blood enemy for the time. I didn't I didn't have a problem now I have to you know he's now like hand-in-hand with Reggie Miller Reggie Miller is just

Starting point is 00:36:13 if there's I feel like if I could murder someone to get away with He's kind of the same thing like I Don't mind I actually like it like people complain all the time when sports analysts are like boring and vanilla And then here's a guy who's not yeah, but it's a little weird to be like on the call on the broadcast See the I think they have at least balanced out You know what I mean? Like I watched like three of the games probably and it didn't really jump out to me the bias I'm sure about to me did but I was like I'm reading into this but it was just like every 50-50 call

Starting point is 00:36:50 He was going against and like oh, that's an offensive foul No, it's not and I and it's probably just like sometimes you disagree with the analyst But in my head I was like he's saying this cuz he hates the next but that's why I think they should he should do it The way biz does it where biz like biz doesn't pretend he's the root of Yes, like I'm yeah, I want the Toronto Maple Leafs to win I think this is like the coming out. Yeah, like she was like, it's that's a very fair thing Just say it and we all know it and also just be like biz biz was doing he wasn't on the call He's doing intermission but like for the Toronto series biz had a fucking Maple Leafs tie

Starting point is 00:37:23 Yeah, he would wear blazer from the Maple Leafs that said he was the ambassador of the team Like for the Toronto series this had a fucking maple leaf style From the maple leaves that said he was the ambassador of the team and he would talk about the game they were playing The only thing is I feel like if you were to say to Reggie Miller you're being Biased he'd be like no not yeah So that that's what would bother me because he had he was on the rich eyes and show being like Josh Hart when there was Time with the Knicks fans are all chanting like fuck Reggie Miller and Josh Hart walked over and was like did you hear him to hear what they're saying and He's you know, so like then it's on the rivalries kind of back on all that's well and good but I just feel like then you gotta like I need like Stan Van Gunny to be like a

Starting point is 00:37:58 Pro Knicks guy or something to kind of balance it out But that that's the way these broadcasts should be I think think Biz at one point had the maple leaves tied around his head. I was just going, yeah, I don't know, maple leaves are kind of getting fucked out there tonight. That's a way more entertaining way to watch a game. Yeah, it is. For entertainment value, it's so much better. But I don't get why you get penalized now for now for like the expense being excited and like throwing parties and shit it's like it's cringe it's lame it's like you know it's lame is not not doing yeah not being like naming the streets is was stupid but that's like a

Starting point is 00:38:36 dumb PR thing that like the city wants to capitalize on if I found out that like Jalen Brunson was like hey guys like let's name the streets after us then it'd be a different story I'm sure it's some like you know public relations team in the mayor's office who's like we got to do this yeah I mean so that kind of shit you got to get penalized for and the Jalen Brunson hate is fucking insane like a week earlier people like he might be the best player in the Eastern Conference and now it's like he's overrated he's a bum get rid of him he's not gonna you can't take the next step you had a bad series the average 30 and 6 fuck out of here but it's like he's overrated. He's a bum get rid of him He's not gonna you can't take the next step. You had a bad series You average 30 and 6 like fuck out of here, but it's crazy. Yeah, it's like sports are so funny

Starting point is 00:39:10 It just happens. This is what happened to Tatum last year. Yeah, like there's just always someone like I saw Colin Coward Say like Tyrese Halliburton is doing everything he's told Jason Tatum does like there's a way better player blah blah blah I forgot I didn't even watch the video was just someone who sported some Boston sportsman I follow, like, quote tweeted it. And it's him, like, on, I think it was like a five minute video about how Halliburton is just waxing Jason Tatum. Like, if Jason Tatum was a real superstar, he'd be doing what Halliburton's doing. And someone just screenshotted it with their two stat lines from this final.

Starting point is 00:39:45 And they're just exactly the same. I saw one too. It was like Jalen Brunson had 19 points in the closeout game. They were like, Jason Tate would never. And it was a screenshot of, I think, from that series. He scored 18 when the Knicks bounced him. Everything is just people saying things. No one knows anything.

Starting point is 00:40:00 Nothing is backed up. It's like when Rico with the Kansas coach, when was the last time this guy lost 10 games? Last year. Yeah. Nobody knows anything. Nothing is backed up. It's like when Rico with the Kansas coach, when was the last time this guy lost 10 games? Last year. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nobody knows anything anymore. RIP to inside the NBA as well. That's the big debate is whether or not that's going to continue on at ESPN. Well, they're going somewhere else, right?

Starting point is 00:40:21 Aren't they? Yeah, they go to ESPN. But a lot of people are kind of like, they don't think it's going to have the same, which I think is kind of a fair. It's fair ish. But I mean, it very well might. But I also think there are concerns like it's not going to be the same. It's never sure. Yeah, right.

Starting point is 00:40:36 It'll be it'll be different and it'll be its own thing. And I'm sure it'll be still pretty entertaining. Yeah, I think the four really entertaining people. I think I saw I think it was worldwide. was worldwide wob or somebody was saying though, like there's like ESPN already has Scott van Pelt for the post game. So now what do you do? Are they going to like kick Scott van Pelt out for these guys? Probably not.

Starting point is 00:40:54 And when you do an ABC game, it's you go, you go to the local news for post game. So are these guys going to be able to cut into like the, you know, ABC 11 o'clock news? Probably not. I always think they're like more logistical that it's like, well, but it'll probably like, like SVP is not on the ABC broadcast. He's just on ESPN. Yeah. He's pop over to ESPN.

Starting point is 00:41:12 Yeah. Yeah. But, um, yeah, those guys are probably the best to ever do it. They're awesome. I mean, they're that, that basically like is a podcast, but I'm almost surprised that those guys, I know Shaq has his own show, but those guys should just have a podcast. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:41:28 I mean, they're probably like, we're good. Did Mark Lee start one for a bit, the Steam Room? I'm sure he did, yeah. Or that might have been a show. Yeah, I'm surprised he hasn't really started one. But those four guys, if EJ was the host and he had three, I mean, they'd be unbelievable. But I guess we would do this 50 times a year on TV,

Starting point is 00:41:48 so you don't need to. But did you see the truck that overturned with bees? No. 250 million bees got loose. 70,000 pounds. Wait, why was there a truck with bees? They were transporting it, probably because we're saving the bees still. No, we saved them. Yeah, I remember you telling me that, so I was going through my head and thinking that. Well, good for us. We fixed the ozone and we

Starting point is 00:42:15 fixed the bees. The two times that people were like, humanity is fucked, like humanity stepped up, we did the thing. I'm kind of, I'm working against the ozone because I'm doing window open AC on. It's a good time of the year for that. It's a good time. It's I can't be stopped doing AC on fire going. Because I like having fire. I had a fire. People were like a June 1st fire is insane. It's like, well, this is how I roll. It's also been pretty cold.

Starting point is 00:42:50 There was like a, a article that was saying that, like, Ozempic since it's going to be for the use of everyone, or like everyone's gonna be able to use it's gonna be like Advil basically that there has to be a new like, original or kind of being skinny is like a sign of wealth because you can you know, you can afford like gym and no seed oils, all that stuff or whatever whatever so now it's there has to be like a new sign of wealth which isn't gonna be getting skinny so then they was saying that like they think that it's gonna be having really big families and then that makes sense and then also like going on vacations very nonchalantly with your really big

Starting point is 00:43:22 families which I just thought was like a really funny like niche way to show like to be the next like it's also like annoying Like I wish like the way to show wealth like why can't I just be in the arrow? That was like I just have a lose a few pounds Well, yeah, because I mean having like more than two kids I think is like insane Yeah, yeah, you're like I I mean if you were to go on vacation with like your family of like Hotel rooms and seven plane seats and all that sort of shit, so it does check out I don't know if that'll be the like, you know the thing that One thing but certainly something that bro, I'm getting accused of being a no Zempik. I I was look

Starting point is 00:44:05 Yeah, you I mean like but like yeah, I don't know I that's a bit much what to think that I was Zempik I I would agree that it's too much, but you've lost a ton of weight have you like well But I didn't notice it until the other day you were standing here in a sweatshirt I was like when the fuck did you get really skinny? I've always been that like you know lose like 15 pounds and you can't tell and then I lose 16 and I look like I'm a fucking corpse. Yeah, but I don't I was not like I was fat for like me like my blah blah body But I don't think I was like I need to go get OZMP. Yeah. Yeah I'm almost like I'll take it

Starting point is 00:44:41 You know, yeah a lot of people were DM, I put up a video the other day explaining, and I mean all my mentions were like, Ozempi, Ozempi King, why are you lying? We're giving too much credit to Ozempic and not enough credit to like stress or stress. It's depression. It's depression and I cut out like 1500 calories a night. From the ice cream? Yeah, pint of ice cream is like over, it's like, I think it's like 1,400 calories. And I did that every night for four years.

Starting point is 00:45:11 Do the math, it's like millions of calories. It's like one of my favorite lines in Parks and Rec is when, I think it's like season six or something like that, they've started filming Guardians of the Galaxy. So Chris Pratt, Andy Dwyer, who for four seasons has been five seasons whatever it was has been like a regular guy and now he's jacked and Adam Scott's character is like you look good what you been doing he's like I just stopped drinking beer he goes how much beer were you drinking? He goes, a lot. Yeah, like when I say I'm cutting out ice cream, people are like, oh, you're not having like a scoop?

Starting point is 00:45:48 Like, no, not having like 16 ounces of fucking bite of ice cream a night, dude. How much beer? Oh, a lot. But yeah, the bees were in this tractor trailer, flipped over, 250 million bees just like everywhere and they just put out a warning wherever it was like stay away from there there's gonna be a swarm of bees. Yeah, most suckler just living in that town. Yeah. The town is now a

Starting point is 00:46:12 bee town. And they said they they said in the next 28 24 to 48 hours they will find the queen right right now which is like where's that queen? And they will like the queen will find a home and everyone's gonna like find a hive and I was like yeah no that's a bee town. Yeah, right. You need to move. That's it. It's like the town in arachnophobia. Yeah There's actually no movie that would ever this movie from the 80s this punishment Watching it no no That sounds is it about the spiders? Sure.

Starting point is 00:46:46 It's called arachnophobia, girl. What is Jaws about? I'm gonna be afraid. I have a fear of sharks. Should I watch it? This guy dies in I think South America and they need to ship his body back home and so they ship a coffin and this spider from like the, you know, this venomous spider from the African, South Americanous spider from the African rain oh they it's how they make a rainforest jumps in the casket and they bring it home and all these people start dropping dead like getting bit by this thing I

Starting point is 00:47:13 had a legit fear for a long time I checked my shoes before I put my feet in like every single time because that was how one of the people died he just put his foot in gets bit and this Jeff Daniels is the guy in it and he's a he's not a exterminator someone else's exterminator but he's like he's like a wildlife botanist some shit botanist yeah so he starts like mapping out he's like you died here you died here and he's like looking at the map and it's like this circle around this one house and it's his house and he's like looking at the map and it's like this circle around this one house And it's his house, and it's like in the basement is like this fucking Queen spider and it it's it's like yeah

Starting point is 00:47:53 It's like jaws it what jaws did first first sharks this did for spiders I was it is terrifying it was like that and like eight legged freaks came out right around the same time I feel like now what a world where though like I feel like now every topic has been done, every movie has been made. We were just talking before about how many TV shows are out there right now. There's like a million shows to watch. But like in the 80s it was like spiders are scary. Let's make a whole movie about spiders.

Starting point is 00:48:22 They did sharks, we'll do spiders. Like whatever man. In Nicaragua I saw one of the spiders that was basketball size. It jumped! Nicaragua. It jumped. When did you go to Nicaragua? I don't know, like when I was 12. Oh okay. I thought it was a recent thing. So you saw one that day when you were like 12? That would scar me for life. My sister, yeah. I wonder what I would do. Because I don't really have any fears like that.

Starting point is 00:48:50 I'm not scared of heights or spiders would do it for me. Spiders. I think I'd be like, I honestly think seeing that would be like seeing a turtle. If it jumped at you? If it jumped at me, I'd certainly get scared. But if I just saw it, I don't think I would. No, I would. No you would.

Starting point is 00:49:06 It was hairy too, it was honestly more like a dog than it was a spider. I think that would make it more okay. I think actually a lot of spiders are hairy but they're small, when you see them you're like oh that looks like fur. My version of the shoe is like you know that meme where like the spider's in the toilet bowl? Yeah. And then like whenever I go to pee in the middle of the night I'm always thinking like

Starting point is 00:49:23 oh my god, but then I'm like I go to pee in the middle than I am always thinking like oh my god but then I'm like I don't live in Australia, but like in in in arachnophobia The like final scene is he's it's funny cuz like at some point It's almost like this spider has like a brain and it's like fighting them. Yeah. Yeah, but he goes down. It's a snail It's got you know, it's a sent snake. It's got a snake. It's got a snake. It's got a snake. It's got a snake. It's got a snake. It's got a snake. It's got a snake.

Starting point is 00:49:47 It's got a snake. It's got a snake. It's got a snake. It's got a snake. It's got a snake. It's got a snake. It's got a snake. It's got a snake.

Starting point is 00:49:54 It's got a snake. It's got a snake. It's got a snake. It's got a snake. It's got a snake. It's got a snake. It's got a snake. It's got a snake.

Starting point is 00:50:00 It's got a snake. It's got a snake. It's got a snake. It's got a snake. It's got a snake. It's got a snake. It's got a snake. It's got a snake. It's got a snake. It's got a snake. No, it is and you will be watching it. We should yeah, we should watch you'll do a live stream like watch it here In like Montecito I once every four years they have like a worm year and so then Every four years. It's like my parents can't like walk Without worms falling like on their head and I'm always like I'm not coming home. I'm not coming home that year. What in trees?

Starting point is 00:50:25 Yeah. That's so funny you say that because I always remember I had like the high school graduation party at my house and my parents had like there were trees and woods and stuff like that. And my buddy who was from Louisiana actually was standing under one of the trees and a worm landed on him and he freaked out

Starting point is 00:50:46 like started like like started like slapping themselves get it off me get it off me get it off me and I was like what the fuck was that dude it was a caterpillar and he's like oh they not shock you here and I was like what the fuck do you mean where are you from where the caterpillar shock you and he's like he's like down Louisiana like if they touch you they shock you I got shocked by one right before graduation what does that even mean why do they shock you? they're like they're like out on the sidewalk and it's like fuck it's like caterpillar season we also have like cicada season so they come out of like the tree roots and they're everywhere but so like like if you stepped on that

Starting point is 00:51:19 caterpillar would it shock you? no it has to touch your skin right right right but like let's say it was barefoot yes yeah Yeah, it's like a sting like it's like a quick like little yeah, you also you cannot avoid them It's like the sidewalk is made of them you have to and when you drive down the street during this time There's just smashed ones all in the street. They're literally everywhere. I can't this is where they're everywhere I'll take the homeless people and the like the danger Once a year I get electrocuted by caterpillars but you know nine months is pretty good down here even the cicadas when it's like oh it's gonna be like a bad cicada year there's gonna be like a billion of them like literally when somebody wrote the Bible

Starting point is 00:51:56 and they wrote like about the apocalypse that's one of the things they're gonna be swarmed by bugs the end of the world and there are places that are like yeah summertime is what happens at least you don't have to shovel twice a year swarmed by bugs. The end of the world. And there are places that are like, yeah, yeah, I'll take that train any day, man. What's your number one, like bees, spiders, snake, you know, whatever. Like, what's your scare? What are you most afraid of? I was getting wood out of my shed, the firewood and something I went out twice and both times something fell from the ceiling like onto my head I think it was just like a little cricket like it was anything but both times I was like I wish there was a camera on me because I was like the most like the least masculine you'll ever see I think uh, I think bees would probably be mine. Just not an individual bee.

Starting point is 00:52:45 I'm not scared of a bee sting, but I am scared of being swarmed. Like if that truck tipped over, not like, just cause I've heard how they go down your throat and they go in your nose. I don't want to go out like that. Then I've seen these videos on Instagram of beekeepers and bee people,

Starting point is 00:53:00 and they're just grabbing chunks of them. I put them in his mouth and spit them out. Like I can't tell if those people are just getting stung and they're just like bad chunks of it. I put them in his mouth and spit them out. Like I can't tell those people are just getting stung and they're just like badass and they don't care or if they're just not getting stung. I'm guessing they're getting stung. Not a ton, but I'm good. I got stung.

Starting point is 00:53:14 I stepped on a bee. This is like probably like five years ago now, but barefoot stepped on a bee and I realized I was like, I don't think I've ever been stung by a bee until right now because this fucking hurts. I always thought it was just like, I don't think I've ever been stung by a bee until right now because this fucking hurts I always thought it was just like I don't know just like getting pinched You know and my foot like I had a big white spot around it and like everything else I maybe almost like allergic to it or whatever, but I was like, uh

Starting point is 00:53:35 I was like I stepped on a nail or something like this is not just a bee and they're like It's a bee sting you fucking pussy. Dude when I was a kid I got stung by a bee three days in a row Oh once in the eye three p Looks like a fucking Yeah, I Bristol Community College walking by the lake. I got sung by one By the next day was at a gas station. My mom was pumping gas. I was just standing there I got stung right here. Oh, and then the third day I was in like Westport my great

Starting point is 00:54:01 That's probably that the most improbable thing that's maybe ever happened. Like three beastings in three days? Like some people get three beastings in a lifetime. Maybe. I would argue that those are probably my only three. I don't think I have any other ones. But it's three days in a row, one at the gas station in the eye. So my god. Like on your eyeball?

Starting point is 00:54:20 Like it was like right here, like right inside there. I looked like a freak. I just ch chopped my head off that's crazy yeah yeah you were you were you wearing I was wearing an outfit of honey what else do we got did you see oh speaking of like movies from the 80s we've got Ralph Macchio on the show today. Yeah. The Karate Kid. Dude, I was so nervous about that interview because I was so positive about Karate Kid and I was like, what if everyone hates this movie? And I'm like, it's just my interview being like, this is the greatest movie of

Starting point is 00:54:59 all time. 88% on Rod's. I was going to say it's smoking. It's doing well. It's a good interview. I wish we had like more time with him. It was a very interesting interview. I've never felt this way as the as the host before where everything has been said. Yes. About the karate kid. Yes. Like there was like you know I wanted to talk to him about how he's the real bully and how the crane kicks in a legal move and all these things that have been talked about on the internet and he brought them all up being like and so yeah they did you know blah blah blah this that the other and i was like well there goes the interview those are all the things i wanted to talk about and i was like i know that he's talked about them a billion times but i haven't and my audience hasn't maybe heard yet so let's do it again but the way he kind of glossed over it was just like yeah we're not doing that yeah and it was it was too short to like really get into you know the the rest of it. I mean, it's it's still good. It's and if you grew up on it, it's definitely worth watching. It's he was so incredibly nice. Yeah, he's

Starting point is 00:55:52 really nice. Like really. I mean, by the way, at one point, we ask him like, what was your favorite like period time period of your career and he describes when Karate Kid One was out and a hit two and three were already on the way. He's a 23 or 4 year old kid living in New York, making those movies and going to watch the Mets win the World Series. And I was like, that is... I didn't even know that. That's my dream. I wanted to be Daniel LaRusso when I was growing up.

Starting point is 00:56:20 The amount of times I was playing Make Believe in my house with a fucking tie around my head like I was wearing the headband doing crane kicks and shit and Obviously like rooting for the Mets and I was like you were just that doing that all for real Yeah, like oh my god. What a time to be alive all that He also got married right after karate kid one. They're still together good for him. Yeah Yeah, yeah, so yeah, I think he got married in like 86 or something like that. And I was like, oh, not that I know anything,

Starting point is 00:56:50 but I was like, I imagine that's not still happening. So that one didn't last. Just I know how statistics work. Yeah. And no, they're still together. That's crazy. Named his kid Daniel after Daniel Aruso, too. It really, Sneaky became one of the biggest

Starting point is 00:57:05 like franchises ever. Like I didn't... Home with Jaden Smith is underrated. I actually haven't seen that one. Okay, I actually haven't seen the original. So I, that's why in the interview I tell them, like I went in with a complete open mind, but I didn't even realize that Jackie Chan's in the Jaden Smith. I thought this was Jackie Chan's first. Yeah, I know. Which probably like helped my excitement, but I was like... I think that, I think that was like okay, but I think this is supposed to be like they really... I think that was before Cobra Kai? Yeah, oh yeah.

Starting point is 00:57:31 So like, I think Cobra Kai really turned it into like A Fast and the Furious thing. Yes. Where it's like, this is now like, we're gonna be at Comic-Con, like we revived the whole thing. So I think the Jaden Smith thing was like, hey, we'll redo that thing. And then Cobra Kai turned it back into like, we got to get back on the even when Cobra Kai came out again, we didn't really get a chance to get into this. Like, at least for me, I did not take it seriously at all.

Starting point is 00:57:53 No, it was a YouTube. It was a YouTube TV show. Right. And it was just like, YouTube wasn't making TV. And there's there's still not really I don't like this YouTube have shows now. No, but it is funny that like there's just been this movement and it's kind of created by YouTube. Obviously people put shows on YouTube, but like, but I think like YouTube is like television now. You know, I agree. But at that time, it was, I would, I would argue they're like house of cards and

Starting point is 00:58:20 orange is the new black. There's a couple of ones early on that were like, these are the beginning of the streaming era TV shows. Yeah. I think you would probably say Cobra Kai was like the first show to come from YouTube that like really was taken seriously and became a thing and like. But they didn't keep doing it. Well, they like YouTube produced it. YouTube. Oh, I see. I got it. I don't think YouTube people put shows on YouTube now but I don't think YouTube is still making shows. Because Netflix bought, I think after season two Netflix bought it, maybe after season three. And then now it just lives there. Right. But it is interesting that like in general podcasts and some original content on YouTube is kind of the new TV channels. And I think that's where you run into like podcasts where you need like a phone, maybe

Starting point is 00:59:10 a camera, someone who can kind of produce and you can go. Yeah. It's getting harder to do that. You know what I mean? Where it's like full, these are now full scale productions. Right. You need basically a TV studio. Yes.

Starting point is 00:59:22 You know, because a lot of these podcasts that started out like we did now they're basketball players and athletes and entertainers and actors. So it's like we have a big budget. We have people who are skilled and we're going to run like there's going to be new content every single day. It's no longer like I just have a podcast. I have a TV show.

Starting point is 00:59:39 Which is cool. And also it's getting a little bit away from you know I think kind of what the essence of it all was yeah you know I saw it went when underdog went through their like layoffs somebody was kind of I think it was a Jenkins and Jones fan was sort of like if if all of our guys like this are getting laid off for another like famous athlete entertainer podcast like we got to start to question where the industry is headed. Right.

Starting point is 01:00:05 And I agree with that on a level cause I'm on the other side of it. But it's also kind of like. They were done a dog. Yeah. I didn't know that. I believe I'm almost positive. That's where I was seeing all that discourse.

Starting point is 01:00:18 But it's like anything else. It's like, yeah, when you get in early you can kind of just be like a regular guy and you're fucking around and you're just doing it like for the love of the game. And then eventually it's like, yeah, when you get in early, you can kinda just be like a regular guy, and you're fuckin' around, and you're just doin' it for the love of the game, and then eventually it's like, once people kinda get their claws into it, it's like, now this is a real thing.

Starting point is 01:00:31 You know? It's almost like early UFC, or things like that, where it's like, yeah, no, now there's real athletes. It's tough. All right, the Knicks are out of it. So, for me, basketball no longer exists, but for the rest of you, if you are a Pacers fan, if you're a Thunder fan, or if you're looking to throw some cash around on DraftKings,

Starting point is 01:00:50 place a bet and win a bet on the NBA Finals, DraftKings is the place to go. The number one sports book right now to place your NBA Finals bets. I think the Thunder should win it. That's what I think as well. That is also my expert opinion. I think the Thunder are going to get this. The Pacers do run deep. They've got a lot of good players, but I think it's OKC's year. So whether you want to bet on them to win outright, whether you're going to do individual performances, props, bets, stats, I think SGA is probably a good bet for MVP

Starting point is 01:01:27 If it's the Pacers, I think I really think siakam is the guy by the way Halliburton is like the big name but Pascal siakam is unbelievable one of the most underrated players in all of sports I'd throw some money on him Whatever it may be right now for first timers at DraftKings.

Starting point is 01:02:43 Yeah, yeah, just stop? Yeah. We told Una to put together a list of things to talk about. Yeah, they're not very fleshed out because I thought I'd be telling you before, but that's fine. Trump said Biden was executed in 2020 and now there's just robots of him. No, he didn't. He said that? To quote, there is no hashtag Joe Biden executed in 2020.

Starting point is 01:03:08 Hashtag Biden clones doubles and robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see. Okay, this is actually kind of interesting because I had a situation this weekend that I wasn't going to talk about either, But I bounce like a check in Vegas. No, so I was home. I was in Massachusetts this weekend. I was in a couple of different locations. So one day, I couldn't. There wasn't a gym where I was staying.

Starting point is 01:03:33 And I had just found a local gym and just went, paid a day fare. And in the gym. What a meathead you are. It's just I want to kill people if I don't. It's just like I'm doing this for your good. The only way I stay happy. But it was I walked into the gym and there was a big gym and they were probably like I forget the exact number but let's say there were 14 TVs. There were 14 TVs in the cardio area and on the on the treadmills were like 14 guys.

Starting point is 01:04:09 And they were all walking, and they were all watching individually Fox News. And there was no noise, so there was no sound. And I was like, you could just hear their heavy breathing. Also, a bizarre amount of them were in golf polos. Not a ton, but like three. I was like, what the fuck are three of you doing working out in a golf polo? And I was like, if I walked into, or if I, or if anybody walked into a room and saw like 18 kids walking on a

Starting point is 01:04:38 treadmill or doing something and just like, like zoned out staring at TikTok, it would be a cultural crisis. You'd go, this is gonna fuck, this is gonna fuck up this whole generation. It could be brainwashed. And I was like, I'm looking at the same fucking thing and they're not even listening. It's like, they're not retaining or gaining any information. It's just a blank screen.

Starting point is 01:04:58 It's just like the sight of Sean Hannity calms him down so much. I was like, if this was a different demographic of people, we'd go, well, this isn't good. Right. They can't all be getting their news this way. I mean, all the reason I brought all that up was the, the story they were watching was like, I, it was something about Biden's cancer, but it was like, the graphic was very red and intimidating. I was like, and then it went into trans athletes and I was like, are they just, they just walk all day and just watch this stuff? I mean, that's like literally

Starting point is 01:05:29 guys literally just like, like a, like a walking dead, like zombies just like walking. Yeah. It was like, and I could hear all their breathing. I was like, this is fucking so easy that like all these white haired octogenarians are just living in Massachusetts and just what do you call it footprints just walking and staring and I'm like this is it felt really weird yeah it felt really fuck I mean Trump's on his shit right now of he's just saying he said he said he was like yeah I might I might pardon Diddy like he's pardoning Larry Hoover, Derek Chauvin, Diddy, it's like white, black, whoever, you can all get pardoned. Trump's a, Biden's a fucking robot. It's like at this point, literally just saying, you know, whatever he wants about anything. That's, that's particularly Chris. What else we got?

Starting point is 01:06:20 Una too? Um, one thing, I didn't write this down, but Jack Max tweet, where do you guys know what I'm talking about? No. He tweeted and he said, I'm gonna post a controversial take in like an hour or something. And so he tweeted, which I agree with,

Starting point is 01:06:35 a lot of people were mad, but he said that if you could pick any 10 NFL players, put them on a team and then have them play flag football tomorrow against the USA flag football Team that the USA flag football team would like win blow them away and people were like know the NFL team would win I think the flag football team would 100% win. I don't yeah, I don't think that's an insane take at all I think if you gave the football team a year to yeah And he said that and like learn the rules and stuff like that But I mean the game's

Starting point is 01:07:05 a game like athleticism doesn't you show up to play fucking basketball with a bunch of old guys fucking one of those guys is gonna be so good he can't really walk but he's like you're like I was this guy understand geometry in a way I don't the I think football is the same way like we like I don't understand these rules. Is it, is it that different though? I don't know. I, I would just, I do think that the, the, there's a certain stealth to grabbing the flag. I think there's stuff that all that I think I would imagine, like, I'm not going to put 50 grand up on it, but like,

Starting point is 01:07:38 I would bet on the flag football team. I didn't know that you wanted to see Jack Max out there. I think in the tweet too, he said 50 grand on it that I just yeah, I need to learn a little bit more about flag football. If it's like a radically different sport, I can understand what he's saying. I think the learning curve is shorter than I don't think it would take a year. I just threw a year out, but I'm saying I think it can take like a quarter. Like I think it might be if you really put like

Starting point is 01:08:07 the best of the best together, I think they can figure it out. But it's also like they've been doing it so long. Like I'm thinking of like playing like NHL with my buddy and like he knew the pass across the crease you score every time. Yeah. And it's just like that's just the thing I because he's played so much more than me I just don't know that. I know. But imagine if you were playing like another hockey game and you were like the best by a mile at that game.

Starting point is 01:08:35 And it's like, all right, this is a little different. But like, I just want to make sure we're understanding. It's like the Olympian team versus like the stars of the NFL, as I understand it. Yeah. Pick any 10 NFL players like I could see in the beginning like some some growing pains and then like then they just get cooking. He specified tomorrow.

Starting point is 01:08:59 Like he basically said any time. Yeah. And maybe the NFL team. Again, I'm not putting up a massive bet, but I put a unit on the flag football team. I agree. I could see this being one of those things where it, I think it could, maybe it's true or it could be like we were fucking insane for having this debate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Starting point is 01:09:18 Yo. Yo. We're talking flag football? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm with you. What? What? Are there, What are the rules? Is it that different of a game? Yeah, you can't really even compare it.

Starting point is 01:09:33 Jackie's sick of you, she's gone. Yeah, I know, that's crazy. Like, in her gene fit. You can't really even compare it to 3v3 basketball. It's a much smaller field you you can't be physical So the physical aspect is canceled out like kind of canceled out now There is obviously the speed where that would be huge but I was talking to and it is a little bit biased, but I was talking to a lot of like football guys that are on the

Starting point is 01:09:59 USA team and They were saying like hey, they would beat us in a month or two But if you rolled the ball out tomorrow, he, they were like, we would beat them without a doubt. There's so many little rules, because if you are running, right, you catch the ball. Let's say I'm a defender. I'm sauce Gardner, right? Fights. Let's just say in another world, you're amazing at flag football. You catch it and he runs a slant

Starting point is 01:10:25 If I touch you it's 10 yards you you can only swipe at the flag Oh, you can't touch their body. Yeah, it would be too physical Yeah, there's just so many rules that are different I've been like even little things like like they know how to like move their hip a certain way that gets the flag out I remember the guy like you like he's running and then he like almost as he's running he like ducks like or Squats essentially but then is because he's done it so many times is is good enough athletically to like then get right back up without Going down. It's it's just it's there's so many little minute details I remember being in Chicago once and they had like Ohio State maybe they had some big

Starting point is 01:11:06 college handball team there okay and I think I think Dan had talked shit about the on the yak like handball in general and they were all there and they were like they were saying exactly what you're saying really like yeah dude if Patrick Mahomes wants to learn how to play handball he's gonna be unbelievable with this but if he wants to play me in handball right now he's not but handball I wanted to learn how to play hockey like they would be better than yeah yeah probably but like if this was like a couple years ago let's say like you think Tom Brady stepped on the football field and getting beat by these guys yes because it's so different it's it's like

Starting point is 01:11:37 are you not even like passing the ball it's not really and can't tackle right there's notes you can't touch him touch yeah like you can but like if you do it and let's say like a guy really hits like it's five yards ten yards and then And you can't tackle, right? There's no, you can't touch. You can't touch, yeah. Like you can, but like if you do it, and let's say like a guy really hits, like it's five yards, 10 yards. And then there's like these little details that. It's even just instinct. Like Travis Kelsey's instinct is to lower his shoulders.

Starting point is 01:11:54 That guy's instinct is to jump down. The field is also cut in half. There's five people. And the quarterback is like 15 yards behind. Don't you think there's a world where these guys though, just like hail Mary, like I don't you think there's a world where these guys though just like Hail Mary like touch down every time Yeah, the field is that small and I'm not much faster than you just go I throw it like maybe maybe on defense is different

Starting point is 01:12:13 But I feel like they're gonna score every single time. Yeah, it's like I guess it's it This is why I like if the Olympics really wanted to do something it would be like make a special role There's the NFL team. Yeah, and then there's at least least somebody should step up and do like an exhibition where it's like, so they have done it. There used to be this American flag football league, AFFL, I think. And it was on NFL network. And there was a few players that played in it when they were suspended or they were caught. Maybe they have like a like domestic violence thing against them, but they were, they weren't in jail yet. Like they were like the real all were like, the real all stars, you know, but these guys were NFL players and they went,

Starting point is 01:12:49 and I think the team was like Ohio. There was this player on the team. Some people that are listening may remember Noel divine, who was this really, really fast guy that played for West Virginia didn't pan out in the NFL, but he was on that team. They didn't NFL quarterback and the American flag football team beat him by like 40 points

Starting point is 01:13:06 So there's precedent that obviously that's not the NFL all-star team. Yeah, but I also am thinking these guys Why would Jamar chase spend any time really trying to learn the game? Yeah, like he's just gonna go out there because there's dumb fucking people on the internet saying they would lose There's gonna be like team, you know team Jack Mack versus like team fuck Jack I mean that would be- There's gonna be like team Jack Mack versus like team Fuck Jack Mack. I mean it would be such an event. I would be so into it. That's the sort of shit we should do. Barstool should put their money into that. Like instead of doing the Arizona Bowl and those big productions we did. But you need so much money.

Starting point is 01:13:39 I know, I know. It's not feasible. But like, it's rock and jock for this era. You know what I mean? Yeah, I mean? Yeah, I mean, even if you can get guys who are like, they're like college football stars, but didn't paint it on the NFL, like who want to take more of a chance. Obviously Jamar Chase isn't going to risk it

Starting point is 01:13:54 unless it's the Olympics, because the NFL is telling them go and play. Right. That's the thing, you will never see it. So it's kind of like, even when I posted, I knew it's like, you're kind of, you're talking about something that will never happen. It's like 94 bowls against, not 94 like 97 bowls 98 bowls against the the war

Starting point is 01:14:11 2015 wars Yeah, yeah, it's like it will never happen. It's impossible to happen. Yeah, so you could simulate it by doing that's the other thing I was gonna say I can simulate these things well No, I was saying like if you get up, I'm sure there's a high school football team Oh, if you get a high school'm sure there's like a high school football team. Oh, okay. If you get a high school football team and you get some bar stool people.

Starting point is 01:14:30 So then it's like, all right, we have adults who, like we'll get our most athletic. And then we see how well, like people who know how to play flag football. I think the best thing it would be, would be actually like the best, they do these seven on seven tournaments. So the best high school players go against the American flag football team. And then if like the American, they do these seven on seven tournaments, the best high school players go against

Starting point is 01:14:45 the American flag football team. And then if like the American flag football team wins by like a hundred, then it's like, okay, maybe you have a conversation. It is interesting that like the, at some point being like big and strong is counterproductive if you can't touch, you I mean yeah like it's almost it's almost a negative it's an offensive game that at least I've been told yeah

Starting point is 01:15:10 but I'm just saying like you know it's like okay I hit hard or I tackle well that does literally nothing yeah that's probably not only is it not gonna be good for you it's like gonna also it's lost gardener, right? His size is gonna be so big pause, but you know what I mean? His size is gonna be but What really helps him is his physicality which isn't a hundred percent negated because obviously reaching for passes and all of that is huge and speed but I like I've never seen a group of people so confident and I like I've never seen a group of people so confident in

Starting point is 01:15:51 Something that was like no it's and it was with the caveat of hey if we if they had a month of training We'd be fucked. Yeah Yeah, so they're not being like outrageous. They're already there. No, they were just like hey what like all these guys played football in college They're like, yeah, like these guys were better than me. Like I looked up to them That's why I do I can I can see one side of it, but I said before you came in here There's also a world where if it played out. I think we might be like we were idiots for everything It's a hundred percent possible. I would love to see it Yeah, I would really really really love so we need to get a gorilla a hundred men Football team a pro all-star team we got to like just we need like the Internet games where you simulate all of this shit.

Starting point is 01:16:26 Did you see the what is it called? Enhanced games. Yeah, I was going to bring that up. Yeah, dude, that that shit is the so the swimmer is really making like the most noise. That guy, I don't know his name, but he I don't know anyone. So there was a swimmer who was an Olympian. I think he won the bronze medal or something that he was like he was very good. He and the enhanced games is if you don't know, you So there was a swimmer who was an Olympian. I think he won like bronze medal or something like that. He was like, he was very good. He, and the enhanced games is, if you don't know, you're allowed to take steroids.

Starting point is 01:16:49 You're encouraged to take steroids. If you break a world record, you get a million bucks. Oh, I get that. Heavily incentivized. And this guy did so. He broke the world record for like the 100 meter freestyle or whatever. By the way, he's a freak.

Starting point is 01:17:01 Like, you know, swimmers in general are kind of built weird. Yeah. He has the lats. I mean, he's like a triangle. He's a freak, dude. And his arms are probably this huge. And and so I think he got the million dollars. But his wife went on social media and was like. This is like the best thing that's ever happened. She was like, he's he's not like a roid, juice head,

Starting point is 01:17:27 roid monkey, like he's using it, but it's like controlled, it's the dosages are right. She's like, we made more in this in one month than we ever made in our entire lives as Olympians. Peter Thiel's funny, right? Yeah, she was more saying just like the enhanced games people are treating their athletes way better It's like well, they're also like asking you to poison your body, but her point was like he's not he is but he's not like

Starting point is 01:17:51 Abusing it. He's not there's no danger. He's not like his head's gonna explode tomorrow. She's like he did a cycle He performs he's coming off of it like it's you know So she was like as a family as a man is trying to provide as that shit, the enhanced games like the best things ever happened to them. Which I'm sure is all propaganda. And I'm sure they're giving them money to say all these things and all that shit, but it is an interesting. But then if someone beats his record, do they get the million dollars?

Starting point is 01:18:13 I'm sure. I'm sure. They're right to it, as I understand the rules. Then we just, then we go down, then it becomes like, just, you know, someone's just gonna keep on breaking records. It's just gonna be complete freaks. No, yeah, but the flag football team game is one of my bigger what-ifs. It will never happen just because of contracts, but maybe who knows?

Starting point is 01:18:31 Like, I mean... It makes a lot of sense. Tell Mr. Beast about it. Yes, Mr. Beast, 100%. He's probably the only one that could make it, totally financially. For sure. I mean, he spent a hundred million dollars on his reality show Like if you if you put together a hundred million dollar pool gave five million to Jamar Chase and five million here and play one game Of flag football

Starting point is 01:18:51 And then you get Amazon involved and it's like Bezos and the NFL's like it's good for the brand huge I mean, I would watch that over the actual Olympics Yeah, I feel like the NFL might try and stop it because what if that gets too big and everyone's like, let's play football. It's kind of boring to watch. I was watching some like I watched a few games. It's all right. It's like it's just like it's not it's too there's too many little details. There's also all these. I was seeing it this weekend because I was at a bar where the UFL was on and I forgot that's even happening. I forgot even existed and no one was watching it. Obviously, and I was like,

Starting point is 01:19:26 I don't even know if we like football if one of 20 different teams aren't playing. Like, there are probably 10 NFL teams and 10 college football teams who like the whole country is really into. And then the rest is like, obviously localized regional. When you're watching like a Jets fucking Jags game, it's like, this sucks.

Starting point is 01:19:43 This is not enjoyable. People just love to gamble. UFL actually puts up decent television numbers. Really? But the only thing is if you put something on ABC at 2.30 on a Saturday, people are gonna watch it. It's gonna get numbers. And it's like how much of that is just a bar putting it on?

Starting point is 01:19:55 Right, right. Like how many people are actually watching it? I don't know. Just seeking it out, yeah. But if you look at the numbers, they're kind of comparable to a, like a NBA regular season game. Oh, that's really good. Which is not bad. Wow, yeah. That's like, I mean, like a, NBA regular season game. Oh that's really, wow. Which is not bad.

Starting point is 01:20:07 Yeah, that's like, I mean for a new sport, that's good I'd say. 100%, yeah, but I mean like, can you name a UFL player? I saw, I saw a thing the other day, an ESPN tweet, and it was like, so and so just made a kick to beat the blank. And I was like, I don't have a fucking clue

Starting point is 01:20:24 what sport they're saying. Mad Libs. Yeah, I think it was particularly confusing because I think one of the players, Just made a kick to beat the blank and I was like I don't have a fucking clue what that lives Yeah, I think it was particularly confusing because I think one of the players one of the teams has a kicker Who's like famous for something else and goes by one name? Yeah. Oh, yeah Marquis King is the punter No, well, I don't think it because I know him. Yeah He was the Raiders guy. Yeah, he's in the ufl No, it was like it was just one name and maybe it was just his last name But it was presented as like a Madonna type deal. I was like It's interesting the rock like you like he owns it. What do you I haven't seen him promote it for now

Starting point is 01:20:54 I forgot I once I saw it. I was like, oh, yeah, I think the rock owns this but I'd forgotten that the league even existed did you see a lot of tweets going around saying that the league even existed. Did you see a lot of tweets going around saying that the the New York City has not won a championship since like 2000 whatever and everyone's like the Liberty just won. The tweet was very specific it said a major championship and it's not a major championship. It's just so disjointed. The Gotham won I think too. Yeah the Liberty just won. Yeah they won in like 2021. That's not what the fucking like. It's hockey, basketball, football, baseball. That's it.

Starting point is 01:21:27 It was like trying to dunk on it. There's a word in it that very specifically says it's not- you're not what they're talking about. And they try to turn it into like a female thing obviously, but it's like MLS doesn't count. All these bunches of the guys play too that don't count. Lacrosse, none of this shit counts. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 01:21:39 Or what the fuck does it matter, you know? Like the MLL or like someone- somebody- like if if if the bills won no one would count that for New York Right, right, right, right They're all semantics games. Yeah, I got something for you that that you might be interested in I don't know. I got a vet at myself, but someone DM'd me and You know, I mean everyone's just gotten so crazy about the WNBA in general Yeah, I got I got my tinfoil hat on for the WNBA. I actually have a question Yeah, how many more NBA players are more famous than Angel Reese or like more known? I?

Starting point is 01:22:08 Think it's I think it's very few very few. Yeah, I think it's Reese's has I was gonna say sub 10 Yeah, yeah, so LeBron like because You think KD is more known probably probably Kyrie as always you gotta go to like the household moms who like, my mom has no fucking idea I heard you guys doing that I think you have a better chance of knowing Angel Reese because of Caitlin Clark and the like racial tensions and all that shit Caitlin's too, there's only two bigger than like Tyree's Halliburton

Starting point is 01:22:35 LeBron and Steph LeBron and Steph's the only two bigger than um Caitlin in my opinion I don't even know I think you're talking about face recognition Yeah I think Caitlin Clark beats maybe all of them. When you guys were, I was over there.

Starting point is 01:22:47 He's not bigger than, she's not bigger than LeBron. When you guys were doing like the Instagram thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And when I started hearing the numbers, it was like, they were doing like, guess the top 10 followed Instagram players in the NBA. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was like LeBron had like 170 or something insane. And then after that, it was like Steph had like 50 maybe.

Starting point is 01:23:07 Lonzo ball. And then after that was like, yeah, it was like it got like by a top five. I think it was like down to like under 20 million. Go to baseball. It's real depressing. Starling Marte is like the fourth most followed person. He has like two million followers. But I don't know why he has that. But part of that is also like I think in Hispanic cultures, he's like known as like the guy like Papa.

Starting point is 01:23:26 A lot of that too is like we follower counts matter to us because this is the world we work in. Like baseball players don't like I don't give a fuck how many followers I'm still getting paid 70 billion dollars. I don't know how many Instagram followers I have. It's just an interesting metric where you can measure, you know. Marty did like a Marty versus against a five star guy who's a senior going in high school quarterback, I think his name is Faison. And then he was there with the NIL collective with the school he's going to,

Starting point is 01:23:57 Tennessee, and then the guy who I've met before grabbed me and was like, oh, can you talk to him about TikTok and Instagram and all that? I was like, oh, yeah, of course. And I talked to him for like five minutes. But the first thing I said was like, oh, could you talk to him about TikTok and Instagram and all of that? I was like, oh yeah, of course. And I talked to him for like five minutes. But the first thing I said was like, honestly, it doesn't really matter. Like if you just wanna play football, just play football. Like it definitely can help, definitely in the NIL era.

Starting point is 01:24:15 But like, if you don't need money, you're probably already getting paid by the school to play football already. Like honestly, it may cause more problems than not. But if you wanna do that, then like, I mean, he had like a 14 year old sister. Like, just listen to her. She can probably, that's the thing too with age.

Starting point is 01:24:30 It's like most athletes coming up now will be different because you grow up with it. But if I'm like an old man and someone's telling me like I need to have my TikTok following. My check from the Celtics still gonna clear. Yeah. I'm not so worried about that. It's like you need a like a digital footprint. What's the DMU about the WMBA? Oh, so if you, I don't know why this guy was doing this

Starting point is 01:24:55 because people are so fucking crazy with the WMBA, but he was like... The numbers on WMBA is insane. Well, he was looking at stats on... Okay. And he's sorting... Oh wait, I got this too. I got this too, I think.

Starting point is 01:25:04 The tuning percentage? They changed it, right? So he was searching stats, and if you search rebounds, Angel Reese has the most rebounds in the league. But while looking at that screenshot, it has her shooting percentage. She's shooting 31% from the field. And then when you sort by shooting percentage, the lowest, because like 31 is like near the very, very bottom of the league, her name just like doesn't show up. So it's just like if you're trying to find the worst shooters in WMBA, Angel Reese's name just does not appear.

Starting point is 01:25:35 I did. I did see. I did.'t fixed the search function on Barstool. If you search, if you sort by this, the numbers there, it's fine. If you sort by that, she just disappears. That is quite convenient. It's one of those things. It's like, Oh man, but it's like, it's there for a reason. Those guys right now who are betting against her first shot is, I've never been more jealous to not be a part of it. They bet first injuries, first shot miss every game.

Starting point is 01:26:08 And they've hit like every game in a row and they play the Titanic. She had one in the other night. There wasn't even close. I mean, it's like she shot from like the baseline and probably like 15 feet away from the basket. It's just like it was just an air ball. It was just like, it was just an air ball. It was just bad. It's just, she's kind of like Rudy Gobert. So good on defense.

Starting point is 01:26:33 Like outside of that, it's just, it's just. And then the rebounds, but the rebound are tough. Yeah, when Lisa Leslie was like, you need to get better at layups. On her own. I feel bad, but it's like she brings it upon herself by being like, I'm the face of the league. Or like, you're gonna remember me too.

Starting point is 01:26:47 It's like, we're gonna remember you because you missed seven layups. She is, I will say. I saw someone say that Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark is interesting because it's like we get to relive Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, but if Magic sucks. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:26:58 Yeah. That's the biggest thing. Like I think if she was really good, it would be dynamite for the WMB. Yeah, and that's what, I mean, it still is dynamite for the WNBA. Yeah. And that's what I mean, it still is dynamite for them, but it's like as time plays out, there will come a day, especially like down the road, people are gonna be like, you used to mention Angel Reese and

Starting point is 01:27:13 Caitlin Clark in the same breath. She's really good. They are like, she's really popular though. I think we miss it, but like, it's also a race thing. Like, but like she's she's huge. I saw somebody, she got the Angel Reese Puffs cereal and they poured it out and just a brick fell out of it. This is so mean. So fucking funny though. Terrible.

Starting point is 01:27:34 Alright, thank you for having me. Well, didn't you start the office debate that was a while ago, it was like, who's more famous, Morgan Wallen or Aaron Rodgers? And we had a clip and you guys were like Aaron Rodgers No doubt, but I think it's Morgan Wallen now. It's a little bit. I was gonna say the conversation is absolutely changed. I think we did talk about that. I think yeah. I would say more. I still think no matter what. I still think it's Aaron Rodgers. They're in the same circle. They're in the same world. You know what I think Aaron Rodgers is bigger. It's like even though Morgan is political

Starting point is 01:28:03 He's not like Aaron's gone so political that Aaron Rodgers was being. It's like even though Morgan is political, he's not like Aaron's gone so political that Aaron Rodgers was being mentioned as a possible vice presidential candidate. Like he's very much more on that more. It's a fairer conversation now. When that conversation first happened, people like Morgan Wallen's doing a sold out show in Australia. Who gives a fuck about that? He's definitely bigger.

Starting point is 01:28:21 But like the 12 year old like TikTok girls. Morgan Wallenberg's like Josh Allen is probably a better question. I would say Morgan, probably. But all of these things when you're taking that out, what's her name? Right wing football fans like they're kind of in the same circle. Usually there's a lot of right wing people that are obsessed with Aaron Rodgers that don't watch football. They need to take it's like if you watch sports, you're a loser.

Starting point is 01:28:43 Have you been seeing that a lot? It's been bubbling around. I saw that dude, yeah, I saw some guy on Instagram just being like, he's walking, just filming himself. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's like. I was like, you're totally right, shut the fuck up. It's, I tell this story all the time.

Starting point is 01:28:58 I went to an Eagles game with Shane and like a bunch of his friends and Billy McCosker of War Mode was there and he looked looked like he had just come from the job site I didn't know how to talk to him so I was just like oh you big Eagles guy and he just looked at me goes you can name one three guys on a football team you're gay I was like oh there's another level of man I man who's so manly he doesn't even care about sports. What do they do all day? They just watch Fox News. They're just into politics.

Starting point is 01:29:30 They're so draining. I have another bone to pick with you. Leaving Michigan Man off the crying list is insane. I know, I know, I know. What do you think? Top, top, top Barstool Criers of all time. Let's go through it. I think Riggs is the number one. This was inspired by Kelly's. R So yeah, I would have I at one

Starting point is 01:29:48 point I would have argued Michigan man, but then I started to really go through like the the meat and potatoes of rigs is thing. It's it's it's insane. Yeah. And then Dave brought this up on you'll see it on the rundown today. Rigs, people forget, cried while accepting the award for crying at the award show. It was a joke. It was a joke award. It was a joke award. It was a mockumentary award about crying.

Starting point is 01:30:08 You choked up and started crying, which thereby proves you're the number one crier. So it is rigs, but you have, so in no water, you have rigs. Now you can throw Kelly into the mix with the Taylor Swift thing. You had... Meek Phil. Meek Phil crying at the wild card birth. You had Dukes crying about Dayton. I got to I gotta give DOOGS the DOOGS was up there

Starting point is 01:30:27 It was a first round matchup. It was a 7-10 game too. It was like a regular fucking matchup. Didn't he also cry when his own brain got drafted? Maybe but he's like his thing is his thing is You don't understand the pain. Yeah take it Like getting the senior season taken away from you. Yeah, because of COVID. Shut the fuck up. But Michigan Man was the most uncomfortable I've ever been in my life.

Starting point is 01:30:52 That was insane. When I was the judge on the panel for that in Barstow Lytle and all of the interns, all the contestants were sitting there and I watched him, he just like, I watched him devolve. He was just was just like his chin started going higher and it was about a woman right like he was like Dave was voting off a different girl and he and he was like I'll take her spot I'll leave he was like you shouldn't be

Starting point is 01:31:20 voting her out and Dave was like you can leave you know if she could say but you have to go and he like was standing up for her but then this I think all that had happened and then this was like one of the final votes and he was just like overwhelmed with emotion and he was like and I will never forget I was sitting there as a judge and he was like right in front of me and I see what's happening and I like I looked over Dave and I was like oh my god he's crying like like nobody else had noticed it yet because they just so much and I was like oh my god this guy's crying I was like, oh my God, he's crying. Like, like nobody else had noticed it yet. Cause like there's so much.

Starting point is 01:31:45 And I was like, oh my God, this guy's crying. I was like, this is about to be a massacre. I almost want to like just go grab him. And like, you know, and I was like, he's crying right now. I mean, that was insane. I said that. Wait, what was the reaction again? Like did he get called out?

Starting point is 01:31:58 Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Dave was like, are you crying? It was like straight out of League of Thrones. But then Dave ended up liking him more. And then he left on his own. He wasn't going to win, but he left on his own. Yeah. I think it was like a, you know, you can leave. He walked away crying.

Starting point is 01:32:11 I said it should be like, we have all these seeds of crying and that Michigan man should be the name of the region. It's the Michigan man bracket and rigs of the number one seed. Duke's crying about a Uganda verse Ghana or what was it? Wait dude? Wait you've never seen this? No I was thinking about the Daytona. I was thinking about Daytona. Sorry Billy crying. Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Billy's like Billy Billy was like went over there right he was like in Africa playing with them. He did play yeah. You know I can see you have a week together with these people who live this third world life. That's fair, that's fair. But he wasn't crying about that, he was crying about the football. I know what you're saying.

Starting point is 01:32:52 He was just mad that he lost. He wasn't crying about like, oh, this world is like, I'm so lucky, I can't believe these people that I just met. He was just like, no, we fucking lost. We lost and he was like, I love these guys. Summertime is officially here. It's taking a little while to warm up here in New York, but we're getting there officially summer season. I opened up the pool.

Starting point is 01:33:11 People are going to the beach, which means it's officially reef season. Get out your flip flops, get out your sandals, get out your reef shoes. They now have sneakers this year, which are like lightweight, easy, breezy sneakers where you can wear them on the sand, you can wear them out in the warm weather, but if you're not a flip-flops guy, if you don't want your toes out, if you want to wear like an actual sneaker, Reef has got you covered. I wear the Neptune suede shoe. That's my jam.

Starting point is 01:33:39 It's really like rubbery, soft sole, lightweight leather suede upper, very like breathable. So you're not wearing like heavy hot sneakers, but you're also not wearing flip-flops. So if you want to go for a walk or you're on the beach and you don't want to wear the sandals, they got you covered. I like the Neptune. They also now have the Fanning.

Starting point is 01:33:59 The Fanning is like their main sandal where it has the bottle opener on the bottom, the leather straps. It's like the quintessential Reef flip-flop. They now turned it into a shoe. So whether you're more of an open-toed guy or a closed-toed guy, they got the sandals, the flip-flops, the sneakers, all different materials, rubber suede, leather, everything in between. Reef has got you covered this summer. And right now, when you go to reef.com slash KFC radio and use promo code KFC radio 1 5

Starting point is 01:34:26 That's KFC radio 15 you get 15% off your first order of $49 or more get free shipping on any order over 65 bucks So that's reef.com slash KFC radio and then I check out the promo code is KFC radio 15 So you have 15% off that first order over 49 bucks hit 65 bucks. You get that free shipping. I said on the rundown that when people are like, I should have this job. Like this is, I could work here. It's like, no, no, no.

Starting point is 01:34:52 These like, those are the real bars. The way you're sobbing over your content. There's so many people that were responding. That was like, this is why she shouldn't have a job. I was like, this is why she should have a job. This is why she is the one. Yeah. Like this is why it's like,

Starting point is 01:35:05 yeah, like also first of all, most people like the guys that will comment not to go all Michigan man, white knight hairs, like they'll be like these women shouldn't have jobs. It's like the most valuable thing you can have at a media company is a woman. Yeah, um just from like an ads perspective, but um, that I got a lot of those, but I think ultimately hers is probably at the bottom. You think so? Yeah, I would have it towards the bottom. Yeah, it's just because like that's that's probably not one of Kelly's top 10. She wasn't. So there's so many people crying about about Taylor Swift. That's not that. Yeah, you know, that's not that crazy.

Starting point is 01:35:39 Yeah, there are a lot of tears shed for the Dayton basketball team or the Ghana football team. But Taylor Taylor gets a lot of tears. Yeah, you have a real big tear moment for the Dayton basketball team or the Ghana football team. Taylor gets a lot of tears. You're going to have a real big tear moment for Taylor to stick out. All right. Good stuff, Jack. Thanks. Thank you. Anything else before we... You got anything else good? Oh, wait. Actually, I have a question that maybe you can answer too. I've heard about the Dan thing from last week, he like clicked a link Barstool email.

Starting point is 01:36:07 Yeah. So do those emails come from Barstool Sports? Wait, what happened? No, they come from like our HR. Like, but is it like so so so Kevin for you what I guess I guess Dan got a link for $100 in free Uber Eats and he clicked it. And then it was it was Barstool who sent the email and it was he ended up failing a catfishing scam like we're Pete's like testing to see if we're all dumb and Dan clicked it and I texted Dan cause I was like dude how bad are things at home that you're clicking for a hundred dollars free food I was like dude what are you doing? Texting or clicking a link.

Starting point is 01:36:45 Like, on the one hand, I get $100 of free food. On the other hand, my incredibly valuable identity gets stolen. Don't click the link, dude. But then someone told me that the email comes from Barstool. It does. Well, then that's bullshit. Yeah, that's like the ultimate catfishing.

Starting point is 01:37:03 That's fucking insane. This happened to me, and it was labeled, I think, as like a Christmas bonus. I was like, of course I'm going to click on it. From Barstool Sports, Merry Christmas. And it's from the HR. Yeah. So then obviously I'm going to click on it.

Starting point is 01:37:13 So this is what they're trying to teach you guys. No, no, but the lesson I'm learning from this is do not open anything from Barstool. There's definitely a flip side to it. There's definitely a flip side to it. I haven't opened anything from Barstool in about 10 years. I already followed that rule. But why would I ever, if you're openly telling me

Starting point is 01:37:28 you're sending me fake links, why would I click a Barstool link? Well, they also do give us free UberEats, so. Yeah, that seems like a system that's not very effective. That's something that somebody came up with and everyone's like, that's such a great idea, but you don't think about the second order effect of of like wait. Why am I opening anything? Right? Yeah Like that's happened to a few people like it happened in Ohio State likes a few months ago It looks legit, and I think they probably partnered with uber eats and was like can you just give us your format? We're just gonna have the and and Uber Eats was probably like, yeah. No, but we also have a deal with Uber Eats.

Starting point is 01:38:07 It all makes sense. Like, oh, it's from Barstool, it's with a brand we work with. Like no shit. And $100 sounds right. It's like, oh, that's nice. It feels like, I mean, I texted Dan, I was like, dude, you literally were like, on the one hand I could get 10 free blizzards or my whole life could come crashing down. The dude does love his Dairy Queen. He does love the blizzards.

Starting point is 01:38:30 No, that feels like in RESTED DEVELOPMENT Walter J. Weatherman teaching lessons. And that's why you don't click links. It was from a trusted source talking about a company that we work with and it was a deal that we get all the time. Yeah, like that, I'm just never gonna click anything. Yeah, no, that's an email I would click, and I don't open them, I don't click them, but that's one I would click. Good job, HR and tech, like, it's about as if. Yeah, so you probably, I think they send it to people

Starting point is 01:38:57 that haven't completed the, whatever, like the HR trainings. Yeah, that's what their goal is. That's one of the biggest rack, it's not for us, but just like in general trainings. Yeah, that's what their goal is. That's one of the biggest rackets, not for us, but just like in general in the world, the HR industry training things, I can only, because they're required by the state, I can only imagine how much we have to pay

Starting point is 01:39:15 for the fucking portal for us to have trainings. I would assume it's- That is a big racket. Yeah, it's the one- And for everyone just to click through and nobody retains anything, no one does anything. Yeah, yeah. Now that's about as effective no one no one it's like it's like yeah, yeah Now that's about no, I mean it's a marine with a screen door. Yeah Playing a game you have to uh you have to try to sneak like a stupid euphemism in without getting caught So I said that was about as effective as a screen door with a submarine with a screen door

Starting point is 01:39:42 I was trying to do all you were here. I I was about to be like, all right, get out of here. Good job, good job. Thank you, man. Una, you got any more that we were about up? I have a few, I'll save some, but just one thing that I think is so funny that it's real is Tinder added a height filter. Saw that.

Starting point is 01:39:59 And so people are like, well, you should be able to add a weight filter. And I was thinking about that. I'm like, yeah, but they should do BMI because weight without height doesn't mean much. So I was like, let's just solve the whole thing. BMI. Or you just had to be like full ass body picks. I mean, if my weight is going to matter, I can't, you can't just do your neck up or whatever. Yeah. That, that, that's the,

Starting point is 01:40:19 I mean, that is a fair rebuttal. Yeah. Yeah. Like I'm all for it. You want us to, because yes, if you're, if you're true type, It is a fair rebuttal. Yeah, I'm all for it. Yes, if you're true type, you only like guys over six feet, you should be able to make it over six feet only. However, if it's under whatever amount of pounds. And this is not a new thing. I've seen a lot of man on the street stuff where they're like, how important is height to you?

Starting point is 01:40:40 And they say it means everything. And then the guy pulls out a scale, and the girls smack them in the face. They're so offended. And it's like, well, that, and then the guy pulls out a scale, and the girls like smack them in the face. They're like so offended. And it's like, well, that's the game you're playing right now. And you also, I cannot possibly get taller. I can get skinnier. Yeah, right, there's nothing I can do about it, yeah.

Starting point is 01:40:57 That also led to that tweet I saw people arguing about. It was like, why do short girls date like six or five men, you know? Yeah. And how they, you know, like tall people should stick with the tall people and that sort of thing. I don't know. I don't think anybody wants... I mean, if you're like a six-five guy, it's like, I have to go like date like a six foot tall volleyball. And then what? Create like, breed like an army of tall freaks? Like, I don't know. Are we breeding here now? Like, I just want to of tall freaks? Like, I don't know. Why?

Starting point is 01:41:25 Are we breeding here now? Like, I just want to have a, I like short people. I don't know. Yeah. The number one thing, I don't use apps anymore, but the number one thing that I, and I talk about this, a lot of my friends too, would look for is, are your friends attractive?

Starting point is 01:41:38 Because if, like, there's so many hot guys that are, like, freaks and are, like, crazy, that if you many hot guys that are like freaks and are like crazy, that if you have hot friends, you're probably normal. If you have weirdo looking friends, you're weirdo. Really? So if you have only ugly guys in your picture, I won't swipe.

Starting point is 01:41:56 Like I'm just like, you gotta be weird. No, cause I feel like it means if they're hot and they're like whatever, if all their friends are ugly, it means they're probably like really funny or something. I was gonna say, I feel like it means if they're hot and they're like whatever if all their friends are ugly It means they're probably like really funny or so I was gonna say I feel like if I if I saw like a whole crew of guys who were all good-looking I'd be like these guys are all like frat boy douchebags obsessed with pussy who like you know what I mean? Well, I'm not saying they have to be like studs But you know you know the type of like if you could tell that they're the oddball of their friend group,

Starting point is 01:42:25 I guess. Like, that's a good thing or a bad thing? It's a bad thing. Like, maybe. You can't win, bro. You can't win. Yeah, yeah. I don't know.

Starting point is 01:42:33 Look at me and like my like fat funny friends like, you're a freak! They're like, oh, here's all my hot guy friends. Like, you're vapid. But like, and I know what it sounds like, but it's like, if I were to swipe through, you guys would be like, all right, yeah, that is an obvious red flag. Like you would know what I mean. Yeah. You know, whereas just because it's like, I just got to I just got to be safe out here. Like, I can't I can't be like, like, whatever, guys.

Starting point is 01:42:56 But I just don't put ugly guys in here. Just don't don't befriend ugly people. Seriously, seriously. But seriously. Yeah, you look crazy. All right. We'll get into our interview. Yeah. All right.

Starting point is 01:43:09 Ralph Macchio, the legend himself, the Karate Kid, the new remake Karate Kid Legends is out in theaters. Go watch it now. If you have not seen it, go back and watch the original. It's really fun. If you got a kid, take him in the movie. And I was rewatching the first one with my kids. It's awesome.

Starting point is 01:43:24 There's this scene in the first one. They're at a Halloween party. Daniel LaRusso goes as a shower, dressed up as a shower. Everything's pretty normal. And at one point, this chicken shows up at the party. And they're like, oh, this guy dresses as a chicken. And the chicken takes out eggs and just throws them in people's heads.

Starting point is 01:43:43 Real eggs, just any smashes Daniel Russo in the head with an egg. And everyone's like, it's crazy. I was like, in my head, I was like, oh, this is where they fight because it's probably the bad guys and the know. It's just a funny prank where the chicken just smashes eggs on people's head at the holiday party. It was one of the weird things. I was like, what was going on in the 80s?

Starting point is 01:44:00 That was a normal thing. OK. I like last week, I just had to catch up with a bunch of people so like but I didn't want to like drink so I was like I just kept pitching scene sinners with people for some reason so I have to see sinners with like then nobody could so then I moved it all to next week. I have to see sinners four times next week with different people so so now I have to like I'm gonna switch in for some of them. You can't put it all together and just go as a big group? Too many people? No. That's like an episode of like Curb. I don't know.

Starting point is 01:44:31 That's a lot of different plates. If I had four separate sinners dates I would go, Hey guys, I'm going to sinners with all of you. Anyone want to go together? I'll tell you this much, if I was on the fourth date, if I was like, Are these dates like Tinder dates? Some of them are just friends, some of them are dates. But if I was like, all right, like, Thursday we're going to the movie,

Starting point is 01:44:51 like how's your week been? And you're like, well, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, I went to see this movie. I'd be like, get the fuck out of here, this is insane. I don't want to talk to you again. That'd be crazy, I'll never see this movie for the fourth time in four days. Well, I'm not gonna tell you,

Starting point is 01:45:01 I'm just gonna be like, oh my God. I do that, I see movies 10 times and no one knows. Well Well now I'm gonna switch in Karate Kid. There you go. Yeah. Yeah, you do, you see it. I see movies all the time, I try, it's not like, I don't like refuse to tell them or anything like that, but like I keep it a secret. We're all just, we're all just. I've also already seen it. It's more fun if you're watching, if you think you're experiencing it for the first time with a person. Yeah, so like they're gonna have more fun if they think it's my first time. Yeah. Yeah, and I also feel weird when I'm watching and I know they have and I know they're watching me for reactions. Yeah, just watch them real good. All right, Ralph Macchio, my hero on KSU radio. It's Father's Day season. So what does that mean, John? What am I getting? Omaha Steaks of Courts. Omaha! Omaha! Omaha! I feel like they should work with Peyton Manning. Have they ever done that? They need a campaign with him. They certainly should have. I mean, if they haven't...

This guy doesn't Press that this is what I remember

Starting point is 01:47:13 To get up to change the channel with this the weird second dial, you know the one that had like 65 HV I don't know what the fuck that was. I never never made any sense to me This is probably the type of TV. I watched the original movie. Yeah Well, I gotta tell you karate kid is like a Core piece of my life. I was born in 85 and like and even just like as we were sitting here getting ready for it I was like just going through all karate kid stuff and I was like, holy shit This is like a piece of who I am as a person man It's um, you know, it's a it's a man. Well, I'm saying a lot of time has gone by so I've heard that

Starting point is 01:47:50 I'm sure so many times but you know first of all as I get older it gets Kind of sweeter and richer because it's I'm usually meeting people that have fondness like, you know, this is my whole child There's many people out there who are like, I fucking hate karate kick. I don't think there's anybody out there who feels that way. But for the most part, it's a pretty good embrace and it just became, you know, part of our childhood, a piece of pop culture. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:48:16 And through the years, through parody, through, you know, sequels and the Cobra Kai thing just exploded and you know, it's kind of... And the interesting thing about it is popcorn is the Karate Kid was, because it was a summer movie. You know, it has resonance in such deep areas. People come up to me, you know, tears in their eyes. This is the one they watched with their grandfather or their mom or their brother had a tough time in school And this was the one that gave him the inspiration and then and then yet it has all the fun You know, yeah sweep the leg and yeah

Starting point is 01:48:56 I was saying about that last night at the premiere So I got this at the premiere last You had your roots done. You're closer than you think. But the, so we were at the Karate Kid's Legends premiere last night. Oh, awesome. Glad you guys were there. Which was incredible. It was like, it was so much fun.

Starting point is 01:49:19 It was, if you don't have a chance to go to a New York City premiere, I recommend it. Because it's the most fun way to rock your movie. On your bucket list. All the kids and the geese going nuts and all that stuff. But I was thinking while I was watching it, there must have been a time in your life, or I imagine there was, when you kind of rebelled against it. Yeah, listen, there was certainly, I'd be lying to say, I would would say the mid 90s to the mid early 2000s, if I do it in movie timeline, post my cousin Vinnie to, you know, there was a dry spell before maybe

Starting point is 01:49:55 like Dancing with the Stars, which was 2011. So like I was 95 to 2005, that 10 year stretch, I never didn't want to talk about it. I Never because I knew how much it meant To the right, right so to me you have a lot of actors or people that are associated with a certain work that's kind of Pitch and hold them and they get on these things and like you want to come on the podcast Yeah, but I'm not gonna talk about that. I'm doing this now I I think I was always very mindful of the fact

Starting point is 01:50:26 that the Karate Kid and how it found its way into pop culture globally and how it resonated with so many people's upbringings. To walk into a situation like this and say, okay, we're not gonna talk about that, made no sense to me because it was their story, their movie, their characters, their Mr. Miyagi affinity, their journey

Starting point is 01:50:50 that was so inspirational. So for me to then sit there and say, I'm not talking about it, but I would say, can we talk about some other things? Can we? Yes, I'm not, am I ever gonna put the headband on and the gi ever again? In 2002, I would have said, no, never mind.

Starting point is 01:51:07 That's done. And then here we are, they come in with a Cobra Kai pitch. Yeah, so how old were you when you like, except, like what a gift it is to have that? I would say when I did my first kind of panel screening years later with a full audience, and say, I don't know, I don't, I can't pinpoint the date, but somewhere in that time window toward the end of that

Starting point is 01:51:31 time window, maybe when Comic-Con started becoming super popular, at first they started out as kind of like Star Trek conventions and then they became pop culture fan events. Right? And so it wasn't just like, you know, horror movies and Star Wars, Star Trek. It was, you know, I fell into that area. Anything that really has a popular franchise, like anything that has a longevity to it. But yours is different than a franchise. It was then, it was at that point that I, you know,

Starting point is 01:51:59 you just saw how beloved it was. Decades later, they'd come dressed up in costume and they'd know every line of the thing. You know, and so at that point it became, oh and also the How I Met Your Mother thing, right? The whole Bonnie Stinson saying that Johnny Lawrence is the true karate kid and Daniel Reuss is his loser husband. That became this like, you know, internet thing, yeah. instance and saying that Johnny Lawrence is the true Karate Kid and Daniel Ruiz is his loser husband.

Starting point is 01:52:25 That became this internet thing. That was throughout that series and then Billy and I wound up doing a cameo on the series. But it was at that point that I started to see fan theories, the internet became a place to play. I think the internet is a huge part of the Karate Kid's story. All of that stuff started, a guy put out a who's the real bully, was the kick legal, all of a sudden I'm saying this is not just a movie now that resonated with people, it has now become a conversation. And so at that point I was just like, you know,

Starting point is 01:53:05 now I wanted a bucket of popcorn to keep watching this. And it kind of, you know, it just, you know, kicked it into the stratosphere of, you know, some of those lines of dialogue and part of the American lexicon. I mean sweep the leg, the crane kick, wax on, wax off and all these things. I mean it was at that point that it, and then when you have the kids. So I'll have 10 year old kids now. That's what gets a whole new life.

Starting point is 01:53:31 Yeah, and they all know who Miyagi was. And they all think that, oh they say, hey don't you play the dad on my favorite show? I think I'm gonna see your movie with the other old guy. I was thinking about that last night. I was very surprised. I was thinking about that last night. I was very surprised. I didn't realize that, how much it resonated with younger generation.

Starting point is 01:53:50 I knew it with me and I knew it with Kevin and stuff like that. And then last night, like all the kids going nuts. I happened to go into the bathroom, I think, while you guys were walking in and people were screaming and pictures and Jackie Chan obviously. Yeah, right, of course.

Starting point is 01:54:03 Yeah, what a draw. Yeah, so it does connect on how many projects, how many films, certainly films to the television, so the streaming series back to major motion picture, like they're on the cusp of all that. But how many have that over 40 years time? Star Wars? Right.

Starting point is 01:54:19 Whatever. Last night I was thinking that you, I was like, I was walking home from the movie and I was like, what a gift walking home from the movie and I was like what a gift Ralph has to have this Unbelievable franchise throughout have a through line through his entire career and I was trying to think of other actors who had it Stallone with Rocky and Creed Finn Diesel with Fast and Furious There aren't many who are just like no this is this humongous like it's a really really big thing

Starting point is 01:54:44 That everyone loves and it's lasted my entire career That's a crazy accomplice. Yeah, it's it is it's nuts. I don't know how to make sense out of it other than You know You know the filmmakers see you deserve a lot of credit I mean John Avilson who directed Rocky directed the Kid, Robert Mark Kamen who wrote that original screenplay, created that Miyagi character, you know, the human Yoda for everything, leading fatherless kid, you know, and it worked on that level where you're single parenting, it's mentorship, it's fish out of water, new kid in a different town, dealing with loss,

Starting point is 01:55:22 the loss of his father, and this movie is the loss of his father. In this movie, it's the loss of his brother. You know, those are all human relatable elements. But then it kind of, with Cobra Kai, then it was about those three guys who wrote that show, who grew up the ultimate Karate Kid fans, knew way more and know way more about that movie than I do. And they care so much and that's why Cobra Kai worked. Did you have anything to do it like was that happening with or without you? It was not my conceptual idea. I was like sure I'll play

Starting point is 01:55:54 LaRusso he acts like a dick now and he has a car dealership and and is rude to other people to set up the Johnny Lawrence redemption. Yeah. But I love the way Cobra Kai ended because it it ends in such a way where these two guys that were at each other's throats figure out a way to be the best versions of themselves for the sake of the next generation. And that's part of what drives me, even with Karate Kid Legends, it's another chapter for a new generation, a fresh look, different. We're not trying to do what we did.

Starting point is 01:56:26 You can't touch that original film, that kind of cinematic magic. I had no idea what to expect going in. I was like, happy to see the movie, obviously. I really didn't have any expectations. I was blown away. I had so much fun. The early feedback seems to be like, it's heater. It's going to be a big one.

Starting point is 01:56:47 The bottom line is if you're going to compare it, if you're going to just rip through a this, that, if you're not going to buy the popcorn, you're not going to have a good time. But it is, the themes are, and that was what I fought the most for, is keep that connective tissue, keep those themes relevant and honest. You can change the tone, it's a lot of quick cuts, it's the TikTok generation, sometimes it moves super fast but you know, it's another generation. You guys see in the original Karate Kid, you weren't on your phones and streaming 10 series at once.

Starting point is 01:57:27 It was either summertime, what'd you do? You went to the movies or to the beach or the pool or a sleepover? Those were your four things you did. You didn't even have a podcast. You didn't even have you guys to listen to. It was like AM radio, maybe. So it's tougher now. So the film is different, but that's great to hear. Like,

Starting point is 01:57:47 this is the best news of the day. Walking fresh, not knowing, being fans of the original and still having a great time. I loved, I mean, the action was, I know, I thought maybe the karate had a little more Jackie Chan style. Certainly more Kung Fu styles, certainly more Hong Kong style in the filming, which I love to see inside is very Jack young Jackie Chan Also, Josh Jackson Josh is great being the elder statesman in a kid sports movie And the kid Ben Wong props to him he was unbelievable does you know if one thing you need in the karate

Starting point is 01:58:20 Kid franchise is you better be rooting for your kid? Yeah, and he does a really good winning job of, we want to see him succeed. It's such an interesting thing. I was walking home, I was talking to my friend last night and he was like, it's such a great thing. Like it's just a great format of a movie where it's like, a kid gets in a fight early and like,

Starting point is 01:58:37 well I want to see his redemption. So I'm locked in right away. I want to see him fight that kid again. It's the most basic, pure, like, you know. It's like, you're watching a heavyweight fight. You know, there's gonna be a second Where's the rematch? When the first one came out how old were you? 22 when it came out. It's 21 when I started shooting it and was it expected to be a big deal

Starting point is 01:59:00 What did you think you were walking into like no I I listened. That summer it was Indiana Jones, Ghostbusters, those were the big guns. Right. I mean. So you're not thinking like we're going to be on their level. No, it was a sleeper at Columbia Pictures, which is Sony now, but budget was 7.5 million, which is like craft service on a Tuesday for Mission Impossible. Yeah. Wow, that's crazy. on a Tuesday for Mission Impossible. So it was, I think, listen, John Avilsen

Starting point is 01:59:28 directed it, he directed Rocky, won the Academy Award. It wasn't a throwaway. They had, I mean, it was a three-picture deal. I was gonna say, right off the bat, I'm supposed to be charging? And that was just when those were starting. But it was already a thing. They were hopeful, but, um, you know, I think, I mean, at the, you know, it, it had enough of the, it had enough of the boxes checked for it to maybe be a summer success. The fact that I'm sitting here 41 years later and it's, it's a relevant major motion picture after a number one Netflix series. Yeah. Insane. Was it, was it a hit in the moment or was it like a little cult classic? It was a relevant major motion picture after

Starting point is 02:00:09 Was it a hit in the moment or was it like a little cult classic right away But it was a word of mouth. Yeah, like the reviews were very favorable some mix but mostly very favorable and it became The conversation that the families could go to. How long did it stay in theaters? Those days are done. I miss them. I miss them. I was like, I can't see it this weekend. I'll go in October.

Starting point is 02:00:32 If you don't get there by Thursday, you gotta wait for next month. I go to the movies a lot. I go opening weekend now. You have to. It's gonna be gone. It's unfortunate. It's all about that. But, Karate Kid was like, so it came out June 22nd, I know because I have the poster in my gym.

Starting point is 02:00:50 My mom's birthday. It says June 22nd. And it's, I think you, in the discount theaters after, like maybe September, October. Yeah, that's a good summer, man. That's a great summer. So you're 22, you're Daniel LaRusso, you've got this you know two more movies in the can ready to go. You must have been on top of the world. Yeah well those were not I mean I think the the second you know I just come off the outsiders that was my you know when I got the

Starting point is 02:01:16 the Karate Kid and then when the the Karate Kid came out I saw it a sneak preview in May of 84. Never I didn't see the movie until I saw it with a full audience, kind of like last night. But it wasn't a premiere, it was a sneak preview for paying. Oh, that's cool. It was like they were building the word of mouth, which is what they did back then. Now it's like you need your opening weekend, otherwise you know. It's a flop.

Starting point is 02:01:41 Oh, the parachute business. You're open or you're not. That's just the way it's changed. But we were, so I saw it for the first time there. And now I'm losing my train of thought of the question. Someone younger. I was just saying, you know, you must have been on top of the world after. Yeah. So it was, yeah, we came out of that theater and everyone was doing a crane kick on the

Starting point is 02:02:01 side of the third avenue. Like did everyone was doing that? Those things, sweep the leg, the crane kick on the side of the third Avenue like did everyone was doing those things sweep the leg the crane kick wax on wax off like those are get him a part of culture you know and in sports about that line is it was what it's calleding now ADR, automated dub recording. It was off camera. Right. So the only thing on camera is the yeah.

Starting point is 02:02:31 Right. So he did a get him a body bag. Yeah. And then, you know, everyone had a little piece. And then I've seen, you know, so there was the, you're the bully, the crank kick's illegal. I just saw you were illegal because you had turned 18. It was an under 18 tournament. Miyagi stole the black belt.

Starting point is 02:02:49 He stole it. None of this should have been allowed. But he was also drinking scotch in front of this teenager, talking about World War II. So what do you think, I feel like the Marty McFly, Doc Brown relationship, very similar to Daniel Russo Miyagi. Both of them weird as shit.

Starting point is 02:03:06 If your son came home today and was like, hey, I'm hanging out with this old guy. I think he'd be like, no, you're fucking not. Go on TikTok. I'm gonna keep an eye on you as you go down that cesspool of you. It is funny that it's something that quite literally I don't think anybody could relate to. I don't think there's anybody out there that cesspool of here. Yeah, yeah. But it is funny that it's like, it's something that quite literally, I don't think anybody can relate to. I don't think there's anybody out there that actually ever did that,

Starting point is 02:03:29 but it does feel like this wholesome, you know, relationship that- I mean, that character, you know, when you look at Doc and Miyagi, Miyagi was very much a, I call him the human Yoda. Yeah, yeah. Right? You know, where, you know, a fatherless kid is getting picked on and he has, you know, a Jedi warrior that kind of helps him navigate the bad kids. But in a way where fighting is always the last answer to problems.

Starting point is 02:04:01 Find balance. You train so you learn not to fight. Yeah, exactly. I mean, there's so many memories. Did you play the video game? No. Oh my god, the Nintendo, the original Nintendo Karate Kid is one of the best fucking games ever. That's great. Yeah, you, uh...

Starting point is 02:04:16 I've seen it. I've seen it. I've seen it. I've seen it. Miyagi, you gotta catch flies with the chopsticks, and that's like one of the hardest things. You gotta chop through ice blocks, you gotta try to get through all seven of them. That probably came out with the second that came out with the Karate Kid part two that's when you're in Japan and all the merchants and all that stuff happened because they

Starting point is 02:04:33 didn't know that answers your question they they they were hoping for success and knew but they didn't have all that lined up yeah today's day and age they got they got all that stuff because that's part of the revenue. Yeah Then it was part two They were teed up for the lunchbox and the and the village with the karate chop action perfect timing for that like the 80s and 90s was all action figures. When the Mets won the World Series. What a time to be alive! I was that was a big time. I was at all those games including game six You're a Mets fan? Big time.

Starting point is 02:05:01 I was at all those games, including Game 6. So you're 23, 24 at that point. There, I'm about 24. Watching the Mets win the World Series. I was on Broadway with Robert De Niro. On Broadway, yeah. My cousin Vinny. Crossroads came out.

Starting point is 02:05:16 And then Karate Kid 2. What were you doing on Broadway? I was doing a play called Kuba and His Teddy Bear with Robert De Niro and Burt Young who played Polly in Rocky. Oh yeah. He just recently passed away. Great Burt Young.

Starting point is 02:05:30 And that was amazing summer for me because I had, Crossroads was still in the movie theater, although not a hit, but it was kind of a cool blues, I played a guitar, protégé. It was a cool film. And then Karate Kid 2 was coming out. So I had both those kind of overlapping in the theater. and then I was at the long acre doing the play and then I jumped in the car and head to Shea Stadium. It was just stupid time. So actually that reminds me of a question I've asked

Starting point is 02:05:52 Danny DeVito once. He was on the show and I was like, you've been around for so many iterations of Hollywood. What part, what generation did you feel the most comfortable in? So between like the 80s, 90s, 2000s, what was the most comfortable in? And then I was like, I don, you've been around for so many iterations of Hollywood What part what generation did you feel the most comfortable in? So between like the 80s 90s 2000 2010 now, like when were you like this is not even most comfortable

Starting point is 02:06:13 Like when was when was Hollywood when was celebrity life the most fun? That's a good question. I mean, I've always been Here's the difference. Just like everything else, youth is wasted on the young. So if I could go back, the wiser, more seasoned, balanced version of me to that time, I would have been, you drink it up a little bit more, because you think.

Starting point is 02:06:42 Probably literally. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. But I've always kind of kept one foot in and one foot out. That's kind of how I've survived it all, especially especially during the lean years when I wasn't working much and I was like, wow, I guess this is done. Yeah. You know, like late 90s, mid 2000 up until, you know, I mean, it was a long stretch of time, but that's when, you know, my kids were born

Starting point is 02:07:05 I was I got to be the stay-at-home dad. I was writing Directing a little bit short films doing was that one? But I never thought wax on fuck off which is I love that's when the karate kid remake came out with Jackie Chan and James Oh, right. I can't sit here while they do this Come up with something and it was at the point, I love that video. It's updated now with my success. That's great, well too famous for it to be funny now. It's a little too famous for it to be funny.

Starting point is 02:07:33 But it still works, and it's all cyclical, right? But that was about, I think it was like the Tiger Woods scandal and Charlie Sheen drinking the tiger blood and Sandra Bullock won the Oscar and then had something with her husband. Oh yeah. That was all happening and so the concept, I just came up with it, I said,

Starting point is 02:07:58 I've always had that title in the back of my head. And I just said, wouldn't it be fun to do a reverse intervention on a guy who's just home at night, kisses his kids, hugs his wife, watches television, goes to the movies and goes to the met game. Let's just say even the family wants to fuck him up so he can become relevant. He could become relevant. You know? And so I, at one point we wanted, I was trying to get Ozzy Osbourne to come in to play my Mr. Miyagi.

Starting point is 02:08:31 Like that's who I was hiring. You know? He wouldn't do it so then we wound up using the internet as the Miyagi. You know? Clips of badass guys messed up, you know, where, you know, those tapes, sex tapes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come watch, I'm trying to get. guys messed up, you know where you know those those tapes And the more and then I brought a Todd Holland a great Director did Malcolm in the middle Larry Sanders show and bunch of other stuff We developed a project idea years back that never went anywhere, but I said would you do this with me?

Starting point is 02:09:00 I need I was gonna direct it myself, but I said would you do this? I'd rather just make sure I do the best job. And he was so well versed in comedy. And I, I walked in the front of your die and I said, here's my title wax on fuck off. I didn't even get the word. I didn't get that. And they're like where and when I watched it again this morning, we released it, you know, like the two days before the, the Jackie Chan because I never thought I'd be doing this.

Starting point is 02:09:26 It was a way to work over time. I feel like nowadays with nostalgia, the internet, remakes, if you last long enough and you're still around, you'll probably have your second time in the sun. Did you ever think that? I just gotta make it another decade and this will probably hit again, or was it all a surprise? I mean, it's all possible.

Starting point is 02:09:44 I don't, I mean, it's all possible. I don't, I mean, you know, it's like, I tell my kids what happened to me is like a, it's a bazillion to one. Just even, even when you think of The Outsiders, Karate Kid, My Cousin Vinny, just say those three movies that have all, like none of those, of those three are like, oh god, this thing is just doesn't fit anymore. You still Vinny. Timeless. I mean, Bill Belichick's on a podium right now. Yeah, right. Mona Lisa Vito.

Starting point is 02:10:09 Mona Lisa Vito. I almost say it's a good story. I told this on I think Chris Eisen, but I literally was driving with the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the tortured so I'm always rooting against Brady and Belichick as great as they are. Respect

Starting point is 02:10:26 them but you know. I literally was driving on like Deer Park Road on Long Island and he goes I don't pretend to be the Mona Lisa veto of... I almost drove off the road like just hearing Belichick say those words. I almost Iidded, I stopped, and I looked around just hoping everyone heard that at the same time. But everybody was going on with their day. I felt like just getting out of the car and saying, excuse me, did you know what just happened? I just love that. I love how you bring that up. It's so cool. Yeah, I mean, it's timeless. It spans generations. I mean, even my son was in martial arts, and he was doing one of the demonstrations, and

Starting point is 02:11:11 he kicked through a piece of balsa wood and did whatever. I'm still trying to get through it. But I was filming him, as everyone does these days, and then I went home, made a little video. I put the You're the best music in the back And I was like tearing up watching me. No, he's like the five year old brings the music Like that moment I was like this it's crazy how like impactful it is that songs awesome by the way That's great along with the rocky music the karate kid music all that that like it's just they don't make them like they used to man

Starting point is 02:11:42 Yeah, no, I agree. I guess they do now though That's what they do a nice job with legends is we we just try to just pepper just enough of that connective tissue Not to say not to not to There's just enough of the nostalgia feels but it's really its own thing Yeah, like you could I mean you guys are big fans for for for a time, so you get a lot out of it in that respect, but you can really just walk in off the street, not seeing a frame of Cobra Kai and have a good time at that movie. There were children running up and down the aisles last night. It was unbelievable. It's

Starting point is 02:12:17 pure, man. It is pure. And then it's great for the- It's multi-generational, which is what we're hoping for on opening weekend. I mean, that's how these things work. I couldn't recommend it harder. It was so much fun. It was so great. Really great shots in New York. Like, it really made me feel like a part of the city.

Starting point is 02:12:33 Yeah, which is new to that franchise. Yeah. It's always a valley or, you know, it lives in the San Fernando Valley. It's a character. Yeah. And now, and you saw Jackie Chan a few things I'm sure? A few things, yes. My favorite moment with Jackie, he's great. He's like the youngest kid on the set. He loves making movies.

Starting point is 02:12:53 He loves, he'll hang the lights for you, he'll change the mic, he'll do anything. He's there early, leaves late, so it's great to see at his age. But at 71, I will say I was pretty nervous you know cuz I you know he's a martial artist I kind of play one on TV right but he he was doing one move with the kid he had to take him and flip him and he you know I mean Jackie Chan is broken like five everybody and he went and he threw his shoulder it hurt and he he wincedced and yelped a bit. There was something on one side of my brain.

Starting point is 02:13:29 I was like, I don't wish pain on anybody. On the other side of my brain, it's like, I'm good. I didn't do anything bad. I just saw Jackie Chan say ouch. Okay? So throw the kick, I'm ready. Because I was pretty intimidated. Sure, sure.

Starting point is 02:13:43 We got a hard out for you, but before you go, I wanted to ask, would you mind autographing this for me? I would pretty intimidated. Yeah, sure. I'm sure we got a hard out for you But before you go I wanted to ask could you would you mind autograph this for me? I would love to It's the easiest easiest thing all day.
