Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, KFC Radio listeners, you can find every episode of KFC Radio on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. It's another ad- I mean, dude, I got hit! He's the victim! That's the problem! I know! That's the problem! She's gonna hit me!
Starting point is 00:00:16 That's what we're trying to fight with the Me Too 2 movement! You got sheesh! I'm sorry you got hit! That was what the sheesh was! I'm telling you got Budman. That was what the sheesh was. I'm telling my story here. It's another edition of KFC Radio on the Barstool Sports Network. We just wrapped up an interview with Stavros from Comptown, and his new comedy special is out.
Starting point is 00:00:53 We're going to get right to it. We're going to do a couple quick segments. Real quick before we get to that, I have an issue going on in my life right now. And it's my dad bought a boat. Uh-huh boat And he just He wants to go on the boat all the time No he keeps referring to himself as the captain Oh no
Starting point is 00:01:10 I say oh no but also oh yes Oh yes Here's the thing I honestly don't think this can be a social clip Because he does check my socials But he He's not a captain You can be a captain you can get a captain, you can get a captain's license
Starting point is 00:01:26 he does not have his captain's license but I don't think when someone says I'm the captain now, I don't think they're being like I got the papers, I think they're like I'm the dad, it's my boat, I'm the captain we'll be in the kitchen oh it's not even when you're on the boat? you know, as a captain
Starting point is 00:01:40 Mr. Feidelberg round of applause downright lunacy i might go buy a boat just to be able to do this just when we're arguing i can be like listen the captain's speaking right now okay we were out on the boat on like sunday and i didn't tell the story in the house because i didn't want to tell the story in the captain's house when i and uh and it was like we were out on the boat and he was like behind another boat and we had to go under a bridge and you slow down there's no wake 100 yards on the other side of the bridge all this bullshit and we're behind this boat and it's some fucking dude in a tank top and like a monster energy hat backwards and my dad's like hey captain what's the deal here i'm like not
Starting point is 00:02:21 everyone's a captain stop saying everyone's a captain doing the wave you know everybody does the wave i did i go like that i'm the cowboy you have your own salute everybody has their own thing he was also showing me so my parents live on like a river and um and and to get out to the ocean you have to follow like this channel yeah right and it's you have to follow all these these channel markers. Sure. And it's insanely serpentine. Yeah. It doesn't make any sense. Right. It's probably to keep
Starting point is 00:02:49 speed down or something, right? Whatever, but yeah. I'm sure it's bullshit. Yeah. And then there were occasionally people cutting through it.
Starting point is 00:02:56 Captain doesn't like that. Captain doesn't like that. I would be like, why the fuck are we doing this? We're adding 20 minutes to this trip. Why are we doing this? Captain always follows
Starting point is 00:03:04 the rules of the sea. And he's just like, well, you just don't like rules, huh? I was like, I don't dislike rules, dude. I didn't hear him saying it, too. What's wrong with you? You're following rules, huh, John? I was like, I just need to know why I'm following the rules. Like, that's all it is.
Starting point is 00:03:20 You're just, you know, you don't have your sea legs about you. You don't respect the sea. You don't respect the captain's sea. I'm trying to show you how to get the boat out of the river. And you're complaining about the serpentine. Well, that's, you know. And also, by the way, don't get me started on the color of these fucking channel markers. They're the same color as the ocean.
Starting point is 00:03:39 So they're really hard to see. Well, only a captain can see them. Spoken like a lieutenant. Spoken like a deck swab. I was like, if these are so important, why don't they make them more visible? And he's like, this just doesn't look good. Have you ever heard
Starting point is 00:03:56 of a little something called wax on, wax off? You know what I mean? He's teaching you. You're learning a lesson in life. You follow the serpentine channel inlet fucking buoys, and you learn something about life. That's what the captain's trying to teach you. He's like, you got to hug him. You got to hug him.
Starting point is 00:04:09 People would be 40 yards outside of this. I was like, oh, he's taking a pretty wide berth on that one. I would tell you what. He's like, yeah, he's not doing it right. I'm like, I think he's doing it right because he's fine. Those people, probably not captains. Probably not captains. I love the fact that he probably lays his head down at night going,
Starting point is 00:04:27 I'm going to call myself captain all day again. I'm going to get him a captain hat and he's not going to get the joke. Fucking sport it with pride, man. I don't know what happens where all of a sudden you just have dad humor, but it just clicks and all of a sudden you're the captain. I'm the captain now. Yeah, I was the captain. My mom was like, what dude? I swear, my dad started calling himself
Starting point is 00:04:49 the captain everywhere. I kid you not, my mom will murder him with her bare hands. I actually think that my parents' relationship will end in bloodshed. I don't see any other way that their marriage doesn't end in death.
Starting point is 00:05:06 Whether it's one of them, whether it's both of them. Like Romeo and Juliet, very romantic. I was going to say, whether it's murder, whether it's suicide, whether it's double murder-suicide, however it happens, there's no way it ends peacefully. I've never seen two people get mad about...
Starting point is 00:05:21 I mean, you know, my dad puts the thing down there. She's like, why don't you put it down there? I mean, every single thing they will fight about. And one of these days, the captain's going to take it into his own hands. Captain's either him or her, but the captain's going to take it into their own hands. That's a fact. I have something very, it's a super tonal shift.
Starting point is 00:05:39 But I learned this fact last night. Hit me. And you said bloodshed and it made me think of it. Do you know how many mass shootings there have been since Uvalde? I can't even. What? 18. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:05:53 There have been 18 mass shootings since Uvalde. They play a little fast and loose with the definition, though, right? Yeah, but that's also such an American thing. It's four people shot in one location. Oh, that's okay. an American thing it's four people shot in one location oh that's okay that's crazy I thought it was like a gun was fired in a place of public
Starting point is 00:06:12 no that's a mass shooting so then that's bullshit because that's some NRA shit that's brainwashed because I was thinking well not really no no no four people get shot it's a fucking shooting it doesn't matter how many die one of them was a family slaughter like a husband killed his three children and his wife Well, not really. No, no, no. Four people get shot. It's a fucking shooting. It doesn't matter how many die.
Starting point is 00:06:27 And then one of them was a family slaughter. Like a husband killed his three children and his wife. Sure. Right. I saw that fucking scumbag. And they're like, well, you know. In Austin, Michigan. Well, that's mental health. And it's like, well, that doesn't count because a guy killed his whole family.
Starting point is 00:06:38 That's not a big deal. Come on. It's not like he shot up a whole school and slaughtered his little children. No big deal. That's fucking nuts. All of them under seven. And you know what I love? I got guys in my mentions because obviously I went off about this little children. No big deal. That's fucking nuts. All of them under seven. And you know what I love? I got guys in my mentions because obviously I went off about this last week. What a shift.
Starting point is 00:06:49 That was an all-time KFC radio show. I teed you up with bloodshed. There was a connector. There was a connector. I obviously was very passionate about it last week and people were like, oh, not talking about it this week. It's like, well, I'm not going to talk about something that I literally can't fix. I could talk about this every single day. Nothing's going to change. But I also got people are like, oh, not talking about it this week. It's like, well, I'm not going to talk about something that I literally can't fix.
Starting point is 00:07:06 I could talk about this every single day. Nothing's going to change. But I also got people being like, oh, yeah? Well, why don't you say something about what happened in Philadelphia last night? There was 13 shootings and like five people got hit. It's like, well, that too. Yeah, that's bad too. The gun control thing I mentioned?
Starting point is 00:07:20 It's all of it. That would be a part of it. It's all of the things. Yes, I'm sorry I get a little more impassioned when it's small children in mass numbers. But also, the dozens of people in Philly that night, I feel bad for you too. Let's clean it all the fuck up. You dumb assholes. Stefan was at that one. What?
Starting point is 00:07:37 He was at that one. It was a fucking concert. Maybe it wasn't that shooting. But he was in Philly for a shooting? He was in Philly at an ice rink by their pier and had to drop down on a roller rink. Jesus Christ. And hide for a while.
Starting point is 00:07:50 Stefan was at a roller rink in Philly? Yeah. I love that. He just said he had to hide for his life. And you threw out there, Stefan's at a roller rink? You might have been asking for that one. You know what? I swear to God, if someone leaves behind
Starting point is 00:08:06 a manifesto that just says I'm shooting up people at a skating rink in Philly, I'd be like, well, you know. That's just tightening up society a little bit there. Pretty weird.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Today's episode is brought to you by... No, you know what we'll do real quick? We'll do a quick five minutes. We were recording this at 2.37. The Johnny Depp verdict
Starting point is 00:08:31 is coming out in 23 minutes. So we're just going to do two right now. Johnny Depp, the verdict is out. What is he... I don't even know how to say... The verdict is out. Amber Heard has been found guilty of defamation of character against Johnny Depp. Sure.
Starting point is 00:08:51 It's one for the Me Too Too movement. Yeah, it's a good one. This has been our horse that we are riding into the new society, a new generation. Where the guys are going to get. No, no, no, no, no. Don't you cut me off. No, this is our me too. To a hero who is going to prove that sometimes chicks are fucking assholes too.
Starting point is 00:09:15 I'm agreeing with you. Okay. There was, I think, I think Barstool, you had it on Instagram the other day, uh, yesterday day uh yesterday maybe where it was it was like six chicks who dressed up as men to go um spy on their friend's boyfriend going out that night okay and and it was like a funny thing it was like right like i think to the chicks instagram comment on it like uh we need to uh like everyone needs a friend like this kind of bullshit. Right. And imagine if we all fucking went out. We're like, we're going to see what our friend's girlfriend's doing. We're just going to unknowingly spy on them.
Starting point is 00:09:52 Pits out like this. Like, what's going on at the club tonight? You'd be like, that man is a psychopath. Absolute psychopath. Lock him up. You'd say that man's a psychopath. It's just five guys. Imagine if I shit in someone's bed.
Starting point is 00:10:03 You would be locked up immediately. Psychopath. If we be locked up immediately. Psychopath. If we all dressed up like chicks, went incognito, stalked a girl for the night, unknowingly surveilled her, and then were like, surprise, we've been following you all night. Ha ha ha. We'd go to jail. Classic girls. Just being regular women.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Fucking ridiculous. So, shout out to Johnny Depp Who albeit not an angel himself And probably made some mistakes That he regrets We've all made mistakes We've all accidentally cut off our finger And written on the wall in blood Who amongst us
Starting point is 00:10:37 But honestly literally who amongst us Has not been in a relationship where you do things That you would never do with a co-worker or a friend You behave in ways that you never would tolerate. You do things that are out of this world because you are trapped and warped and fucked in the head by a chick or a guy who is just tormenting you. And you don't know how to get out other than fucking fighting and yelling and making up and fucking.
Starting point is 00:11:01 And all of a sudden your career is ruined and you're like, what, how did I fucking end up here? And he took back the power. He at least stood up for himself. Look at these chicks. All just dressing up, spying on girls in the club. If a group of guys did this it would be genuinely
Starting point is 00:11:18 and I understand we talk about the double standard all the time. There is a double standard. I get it. It's a genuinely insane move. They might be doing it for the talk or the gram or whatever. It's probably more funny than anything. There's a sense of realism there too where it's like
Starting point is 00:11:33 spy on him and report back and that way you can hold this over his head and torture him and fight him. It's been a long time coming that it's like, I would say this. All I would say is, despite each side of the evidence and whichever side you believe,
Starting point is 00:11:50 I think the important thing to take away from this is that chicks can be abusive and assholes too. I think for a long time, it was just all the stories we heard were one-sided. And that was because these stories never come to life. Physically as well. Yeah, absolutely. But we don't say anything.
Starting point is 00:12:06 You know what I mean? I got a strong jaw. We don't speak up on it. Yeah, we can take a punch. But we shouldn't have to. Do they get an actual sheesh out of you? God, Jesus. I mean, dude, I got hit.
Starting point is 00:12:15 He's the victim. That's the problem. I know. That's the problem. Sheesh would have hit me. That's what we're trying to fight with the Me Too Too movement. You got sheesh. I'm sorry you got punched. That was what the sheesh was fight with the Me Too Too movement. You got sheesh. I'm sorry you got punched.
Starting point is 00:12:27 I'm telling my story here. We all have gotten hit or had things thrown at us, and we just keep quiet because otherwise we're the pussy. We're the guy who can't even, you know, he's not tough enough. Oh, this little 100-pound girl is abusing you? It's like, yeah, yeah, she's hitting me with her shoe. She's slapping me in the face. She's throwing copper mugs at me. She's abusing you? It's like, yeah! Yeah! She's hitting me with her shoe! She's slapping me in the face! She's throwing copper mugs at me!
Starting point is 00:12:47 She's abusing me with the phone! She's raping me with technology! Yes! And with her mouth! Yes! And with her pussy! It's crazy! I woke it up to many a blowjob!
Starting point is 00:12:59 Guys are fucking throwing water bottles! He's complaining about what? Okay. The verdict is out. Amber Heard acquitted on all charges of defamation of character for Johnny Depp. Believe women.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Believe all women. That's the takeaway here. Is that no woman lies. Hashtag Fucking believe women What kind of scumbags Would be on Johnny Depp's side Not knowing
Starting point is 00:13:31 What the whole story Dude like three weeks ago Everyone was on Johnny Depp's side And then I heard some of the stories I was like whoa Disavow Disavow He was a fucking abusive asshole
Starting point is 00:13:41 Bro there were stories That was like This is Forget about defamation of character This guy's gotta go to jail right now. This is abuse. I started riding that horse a little too fast. I was like, wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:13:51 I don't know about this Johnny Depp thing anymore. I think that the important thing to remember here is that. Mick's head is literally in his hand. I think the important thing to remember here is, you know, people will talk. Oh, those bruises were a hoax and she did it for fame. And you know what? Some of those things can be true. You can be in a relationship for the wrong reasons.
Starting point is 00:14:12 You could be a gold digger. You could be a fame chaser. You can be an asshole. Amber Heard's an asshole. But that doesn't mean that you're not getting abused. Correct. So she still deserves to be safe. 100%. And if this is going on, she deserves, you know, to be safe. 100%.
Starting point is 00:14:25 And if this is going on, she deserves to be acquitted of all. She doesn't have a career. More scenes in Aquaman 2. All the lines. All of the lines in Aquaman. And Johnny, it's like you had your run. Captain and Jack, it's over. They should make her the new Captain Jacqueline Sparrow.
Starting point is 00:14:42 That's how you do it. That's what a good... That would be the verdict. She gets the rights to the character Jack Sparrow. That is, because not all silver, what is it, not all something, ah fuck, I forget.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Not all treasure is gold, mate. Sometimes it's a character on Disney. Today's episode is brought to you by Art Roman. Art Roman is longer about one of the people. Can you tell which one we actually believe? Today's episode is brought to you by Roman. The secret to longer lasting sex.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Roman swipes are clinically proven to help you last longer in bed. They're effective. They're easy to use. They're fast acting. They don't require a prescription. You don't need to go to a doctor. Well, you don't need to. You get a doctor through Roman so you can prescribe with them.
Starting point is 00:15:29 You don't need to worry about having it rub off on your partner. Did you see the I don't know if this is on, but did you see the Shane Gillis put up on his Instagram story? Yes. One of the competitors sending him. Oh, fuck. My bad. I love that one. Roman, you open it up, a little packet. It's discreet.
Starting point is 00:15:45 You open it up, you rub it on your dick, you last, I don't know, 25-30% longer than your average sex. Everybody's satisfied, and you actually train your dick to last longer so that eventually you won't even need the Roman swipes. But the best part is, even if you do need them, they're just $5 a month. When you go to GetRoman.com

Starting point is 00:16:20 We've got, oh, by the way, just a quick shout out to... Do the Mets play baseball all the time? Every day. What is happening? Every day, and they don't lose. They just win every day. I feel like every time we're in here, the Mets are playing baseball. Well, I mean, you do kind of play baseball every day in the Angel Leagues.
Starting point is 00:16:40 We record a lot of day games. A lot of day games, yeah. A lot of day games recently. Midweek day games, Never on the weekend. By the way, what a bunch of goddamn fucking cunts the St. Louis Cardinals fans are. Oh, the worst! It goes Yankee fans and then right underneath them
Starting point is 00:16:55 is Cardinals fans. I know it's not a revelatory statement, but I quote tweeted the Barstool tweet last night that was like I forget what it said it said like the machine walks it off the machine yeah the machine walks it off he doesn't stop the fucking soft line out to left field yeah it was a sack fly that wasn't even dramatic it was technically a sack fly i wouldn't even call it a sack fly right it was like you were trying to get
Starting point is 00:17:22 a hit and you soft liner yeah like it wasn't Right. It was like you were trying to get a hit and you. It's a soft liner. Yeah. Like it wasn't anything. And I was like, oh, I thought it was going to be a bigger thing because, I don't know, all we do is tweet and caps locks now. Yeah. And then people were like, oh, yeah, you should have grounded out instead because it's just May. Shut the fuck up. I wasn't making fun of the Cardinals, you dumb fucking asshole.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Yeah. I was making fun of the tweet. You idiots. We're making fun of ourselves as a matter of fact. Winning a baseball game is always good. I agree with that. You fucking losers. Growing up a Cubs fan, they always try to wedge that rivalry. It's something that
Starting point is 00:17:51 we actually give a fuck about. Yeah, fuck that. They're the worst fucking fans. Yeah, and they think they're the best, and it's so goddamn annoying. They can just suck dicks. Shout out to our homeboy in Philly, who is clean as a whistle these days. Five straight.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Five straight is probably like nine of ten. Losing in every which fashion. Walk-offs, blown saves, errors, shutouts. He's just going home every night and just legs up in the air. He's on all fours. She's doing it every which way. He's on top of her face. She's on top of him.
Starting point is 00:18:31 All fours. He's getting the reach around. He's doing the tug. He's pounding her back like the fucking paddle board. She's doing the thing. The knots are bouncing back. She's going from tip to hole, back and forth, upside down, the hole which way. So there's at least one guy in Philly who's like, hey, keep it going.
Starting point is 00:18:49 Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Five straight, seven of nine, seven of eight. Losers. That is not great, except for one man in Philly who's just got an asshole that is tickling. You know what that is? There's probably a man in Philadelphia who just came out.
Starting point is 00:19:09 Because of the Phillies losing streak, he was like, I just want this all the time. Kick that girl to the curb and go get his ass played with his rest of his I'd like that girl to call in one day. Oh, I would love to talk to her. Explain the situation more clearly because I don't think we understand it. I think we do. I think it's just confusing that they're just like Philly.
Starting point is 00:19:23 I still don't get it. Does he like it or does he not like it? I don't think he likes it. But I think he's going to like it's just confusing that they're just like Philly. I still don't get this. Does he like it or does he not like it? I don't think he likes it, but I think he's going to like it. See, that's what I mean. We want to hear from him. That's what we want to hear from him. Is this against his will? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:35 He's definitely getting. Are you R-wording him? He is getting anal angus raped is what's happening there. Which is the best kind if you had to pick one way that's the best way with your tongue yeah okay analingus right right right right but yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah if you had to pick a way that would be my number one way yeah you can uh lick my ass against my you can lick my ass against my will all you want that would be the best way. Even if it's something you genuinely hate.
Starting point is 00:20:08 There's nothing penetrative about it. That's the best way. It's just like you're licking a body part. That's the best way to be raped. I just wanted to make sure I got that clip out. I'm saying it clear. Nick didn't even come close to smiling. We should do these on a timer
Starting point is 00:20:26 more often because we just fucking we let it rip, man. Alright, one quick Am I the Asshole? We'll do our three voicemails and then we'll get to stop you, baby. Am I the Asshole for returning a litterer's say that ten times fast, litterer, litterer, litterer litterer's trash
Starting point is 00:20:42 to him at work. I was at home on my balcony when i saw a guy in a truck drive up to the woods beside my house dump a bunch of shit out of his truck in the swampy area of my property and drive off i didn't want to confront him when i was alone so i let him drive off but i was annoyed that there was shit i'd have to clean up the next day i went to load it up into boxes to take you to the dump it looked like an old it looked like old office waste it had crt monitors broken chairs and boxes of paper. But the dump said that they don't take that stuff.
Starting point is 00:21:07 So I was already pissed off having to spend my morning borrowing a truck and dredging shit out of the swamp. So I got frustrated and started looking through the papers. I found a bunch of, I found a bunch
Starting point is 00:21:15 which identified the company as a local construction firm. From there, I found out the guy driving the truck was an employee named Jim Baker. So I put on a safety vest and steel-toed boots, drove to the office. I walked in real confident to the receptionist and said, delivery for Jim Baker. So I put on a safety vest and steel-toed boots, drove to the office.
Starting point is 00:21:25 I walked in real confident to the receptionist and said, delivery for Jim Baker. She asked me if he needed to sign for it. I said, no, I can just drop it off. Where should I put the packages? She said the reception area was fine. I dropped off the first box, then another, then another, then like 12 boxes and three broken chairs
Starting point is 00:21:40 that wouldn't fit in a box. The receptionist asked me what was going on with the chairs, and I said, I don't know, I'm just the delivery driver and I headed out. The receptionist yeah he left a note saying, Dear Jim Baker, I'm sorry you misplaced your company's
Starting point is 00:21:58 belongings in my yard. It must have been quite the accident as a whole truck full of stuff was thrown about all over my property but I wanted to return your missing belongings. In the parking lot, I was just getting ready to leave when the dude came running out. He was the owner and asked me what the hell was going on. I said I had a delivery for Jim Baker. He said he's not authorized
Starting point is 00:22:14 to make purchase orders. What's this about? I said, I don't know, man. I'm just the driver. The guy seemed kind of confused at first. I could understand why a young woman in a pick truck is a chick. Wow. But I thought it was a chick but then when she said I got steel toed boots
Starting point is 00:22:29 and a hard vest and all that shit I was like a hard hat and a vest so I decided it was time to get going I sped off the guy was yelling
Starting point is 00:22:34 to get back to blah blah blah I mean you know you get the point yeah in literally any other situation she would be the asshole
Starting point is 00:22:43 like going through all those I think she's still the asshole I think if you litter You're a genuine pure scumbag So do I but I'm just saying everyone's the asshole here She's definitely a little You take all the time to do this whole act You're an asshole
Starting point is 00:22:59 You're right she is right She is justified I actually saw it the other day. I was walking home, and someone had a fountain drink, right? And they took the straw out, and then they just threw the wrapper. And I didn't say anything because I'm a coward. Yeah. But I literally thought about it.
Starting point is 00:23:16 The rest of the day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what it is? I don't care about the environment, to be honest. I'll shoot you straight. I'd rather it not be bad. But it's not the environment. It's the selfishness.
Starting point is 00:23:27 It's like, why do you think that you get to do that fuck you yeah you're nobody you're an asshole in new york yeah dude there's garbage cans every right two seconds literally we were like three sidewalk squares for trash right just put it there man i i i honestly i think that if you litter i i do think you should like a lifetime in prison and i and i don't and i i'm with you in the sense like I don't think it makes a huge impact on the environment. Like throwing your fucking straw wrapper on the ground in New York is going to be picked up very soon. It's not the end of the world. It's the principle. You're such a bad – a genuinely, purely bad person who is so willing to ignore the the the social norms of like this makes me look
Starting point is 00:24:09 like an asshole and i just don't care like you should be in prison you should do everyone should do this everyone everyone with more um honor and pride than me should do that like do everything you can to shame well yeah fucking put a litter in their place i i i get i can get down with that i just this is a uh one of those vibes where they need a new you know how they have like nta yta eta you're not the asshole you're the asshole we need one that's like you're the asshole y t a b b o t you're the asshole. Y-T-A-B-B-O-T. You're the asshole, but not because of this. Like, you are an asshole.
Starting point is 00:24:51 I can tell that you're an annoying bitch. This time you happen to be justified, but I bet you, like, would bother other people at their place of work for something, like, that they don't deserve. You know what I mean? So you're an asshole, but, yeah. I mean, also, I thought littering was going to like she dropped he dropped his like mcdonald's bag
Starting point is 00:25:08 not like large bulk waste yeah like that's a move right there also what is this chick living like a swamp more okay with that yeah me too i am because because that guy was like you know what he did he went down to the dump probably and they were like we don't take this stuff and he was like i gotta put it somewhere My boss told me to get rid of it. I'm going to go put it in the swamp. It's probably the safest place for it. That happened to me once when I was a child. My uncle was moving out of his apartment, I think, or he was doing something where he had a bunch of trash.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Yep. And tried to bring it to the dump. They wouldn't take it. Yep. So he came and picked me up at my parents' house. And we drove around town looking for dumpsters. Because you know how throwing trash in dumpsters is bad news. Right, right, right. And he had me do it.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Because a kid wouldn't get in trouble. So no one would get mad at a kid. So we were just driving around Fall River. I was in a truck. And I was just like, I don't know. I was over 10 on this one. So that's how I'm going to start telling stories. Over 10, under 10.
Starting point is 00:26:01 I was over 10. Strong enough to lift up a chair. Young enough to not get beat up for it. And it was like – That is a weird thing that's been drilled into us though. Why is it a big deal if you put garbage into a dumpster? Because you pay by the dumpster. No, I – But like I had a feeling that it's like illegal.
Starting point is 00:26:20 It's like this is just that somebody bought it and they don't want you putting your shit in there. People will shoot you for it. There aren't any guns here. You're on one today. I love it. Voicemails are brought to you by Shady Rays. It's the summertime, so you know what that means. That means I start wearing my sunglasses again.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Sunglasses in the summer, that's the one thing that John truly hates about me. Genuinely hates about me, that I don't wear sunglasses in the winter. It fucking reflects off the snow, dude. The sun is sunnier in the summer. It's stronger in the winter. No, it's not. The reflection is true. Bro, I go skiing and people come back like, what fucking tropical island were you on? I wasn't.
Starting point is 00:26:56 I was at Killington. You know why they said that? Because the fucking snow reflects. Because you're supposed to wear your sunglasses when it's sunny out. When the sun is out and it's hot and tropical. They see all my sun I got on my fucking skin. UVA on top of Bear Mountain, bro. Dude. Sunny.

Starting point is 00:28:34 Kevin said the whole F word on the show before. That was the most homophobic thing I've ever heard. KFC fights Nick, Jackie, Pav Suck Suck The worst time of the day is 3
Starting point is 00:28:56 3am sucks 3pm blows What's your guys favorite worst time? The worst time of the day That's a good question The worst time? The worst time of the day. That's a good question. The worst time? Oh, I think 4 o'clock is the answer. 4 o'clock in the morning is you're up way too early or you're out way too late.
Starting point is 00:29:13 And 4 p.m. is like, ah, you're at the fucking finish line. Like, I have another hour of work. I got to blow my brains out. No. It's 4 in a runaway, brother. I think it's 3. I think he's right. I think it's 3.
Starting point is 00:29:24 Because 4, I think 4 is on the other end of both. I think four is like. You're about to have a fun time. Like it's a classic night. I'm almost home. I can understand that. Yeah. And then 4 a.m.
Starting point is 00:29:33 You're close. Oh, we're in one. Yeah. Like we're in one. At three, I see three. I'm like, I should go home. I see four. I'm like, let's fucking turn it off.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Let's go to eight. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. I can respect that. I think that's a great question and a great answer
Starting point is 00:29:46 that happens to be asked at 4.37 a.m.? Yeah, that's what it looks like, yeah. Is that an a.m. or a p.m. after that? That's probably a dad or a kid. No, it's not a dad, he's a kid. I don't know why, yeah. That's someone on a lot of cocaine. I was going to say, hopefully he wasn't driving.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Dude, probably smoking cocaine. Dude, Harry Styles talks about cocaine on his new album a significant amount. Breaking news, rock star likes cocaine. But they don't usually say it. Not guys like him. Like true rock stars are like... No, but he's a true rock star. Well, that's the thing, but he
Starting point is 00:30:18 is, but he came out without... Harry Styles is so goddamn fucking good, it's crazy. Yeah, but he's not, you know what I mean? Like because of his One Direction shit, people don't think of him as a rock, but like, but now he's David Bowie, is what he is. It's exactly what, his last album, they had a little hint towards it, like, ooh, this is a little Bowie-esque.
Starting point is 00:30:34 And Bowie, Bowie is an unequivocal rock star, but he's not a rock star, if that makes sense. He is, I think he's actually a level above. I agree. Rock stars are like, I'll smash the guitar, I'll break the TV in the hotel room, I'll do is, I think he's actually a level above. I agree. Rock stars are like, I'll smash the guitar, I'll break the TV in the hotel room,
Starting point is 00:30:46 I'll do coke, I'll snort, you know, Jack Daniels and I'll fuck chicks. Harry Styles is like, I'll do all that and I'll fuck your father
Starting point is 00:30:53 and I'll fuck you and you know, and I'm a little more polite. I'll do a family slaughter but it's my cock. Oh, I'll fuck your daughter who loves me,
Starting point is 00:31:01 your mother who loves me, your son and you. I'll fuck all of you. One of my favorite – I'm going to try and pull it up. But I do think – unfortunately, I can't really expand on it because I do think he nailed it. I do think it's 3 a.m. is – Well, okay, but there's other times that definitely suck. I think 6 and 6 is not great.
Starting point is 00:31:22 I think 6 p.m. is either like you're in traffic commuting home. 6 a.m. sucks, dude. What's good about 6 a.m.? Oh, 6 a.m. sucks. 6 p.m. I'm off work. I'm at the bar. I know, but for a lot of people, you're either not.
Starting point is 00:31:35 You might be commuting home in traffic. You might be starting to work late. 6 p.m. is like I'm supposed to be out of here by 5, but I'm still here at 6. I think the only thing you can say definitively is like 9, 10, 11, 12. Those cannot be your answers. Both sides are awesome. It's everything after that.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Are they reading it right now? Everybody just stood up. Let's see. Can we get some volume on there? Let's go. Yes, Your Honor. Live verdict. We haven't done this since O oj simpson i will not have any outbursts either way like holy moly
Starting point is 00:32:10 oh no they just called the recess we were telling you this could wrap up in just about 10 minutes by 3 10 3 15 uh not so fast i thought so a little sidebar going on with the attorneys in the front apparently wait i've watched the left law door as well. You dumb motherfuckers. Yo, there shouldn't be juries. You want to
Starting point is 00:32:33 have a real podcast? Yo. We should do South African style. One judge. Is that what
Starting point is 00:32:38 they do? Two judges in South Africa? They should do a couple judges. Like a mini Supreme Court. Bro, my mom
Starting point is 00:32:44 actively tried to get on the jury for Aaron Hernandez and she's do a couple judges, like a mini Supreme Court. Bro, my mom actively tried to get on the jury for Aaron Hernandez to say he was not guilty. And she... No, to say he was not guilty. I know, yeah. He walked in... She'll proudly tell this story. He walked in the courtroom in a
Starting point is 00:33:01 suit and tie, and he's obviously a very handsome man, and my mom said he was just so impressed that I oh he didn't do any of this you know that motherfucker killed many people tons of that motherfucker killed a mass shooting worth of people he was like he's he tied that too pretty ride to get on the jury and in a sense like so my grandfather was a judge. And so the judge knew my mom and knew of my grandfather. And he was like, when she gets to the final round of questioning, and he was like, you don't want to do this. And she goes, no, I want to do this.
Starting point is 00:33:39 And that's what killed her, right? Then you're out. You can't do that. She got to the judge questioning her part of the jury trial and she was trying to get on the trial to say Aaron Hernandez didn't do it juries are nonsense
Starting point is 00:33:54 yeah like when they say a jury of your peers yeah I know that's the fucking problem look at my peers my peers are fucking idiots I have a peer who just cut their hair in the other room let's talk about that problem. Look at my peers. My peers are fucking idiots. Idiots. Absolute assholes. You're telling me... I have a peer who just cut their hair in the other room. Let's talk about that.
Starting point is 00:34:09 In the green screen room when we're filming Answer the Internet, just human hair all over the place. That's littering. That's physical human littering. You're telling me, and this and I think he used to do this. He worked in the courts or whatever. You're telling me that Frank Fleming could be on a jury one day and decide my fate?
Starting point is 00:34:26 I'd just be like, he's a Cardinals fan! Put him to death! It's like, no. Fucking assholes. Juries are crazy. Fuck juries. All right. I want to read this Bowie thing.
Starting point is 00:34:38 This is one of the more inspirational things I've ever read. Hit it. I genuinely believe that. It says, when in doubt, listen to David Bowie. I'm sure I've read this on a it. I genuinely believe that. It says, when in doubt, listen to David Bowie. I'm sure I've read this on a podcast before, by the way. When in doubt, listen to David Bowie. In 1968, Bowie was
Starting point is 00:34:53 a gay, ginger, bonk-eyed, snaggle-toothed freak walking around South London in a dress being shouted at by thugs. Four years later, he was exactly that, but everyone else wanted to be like him too. If David Bowie can make being David Bowie cool, you can make being you cool.
Starting point is 00:35:10 Plus, unlike David Bowie, you get to listen to David Bowie for inspiration. So you're one up on him. You're already one up on David Bowie. I think that's a cool-ass quote. But also, totally not true. But also not true you're not David Bowie you certainly don't have one up on him
Starting point is 00:35:28 most inspirational quotes are not true you're a zero who gets upgraded to one because you get to listen to David Bowie and you gotta go up to like a hundred did you see that? it was like splashed up that was crazy
Starting point is 00:35:40 now that I've read his inspirational quote fuck that inspirational quote not even close but i do find i i always that's one of the few quotes i often go back to like like cool there's a fine line between lame and cool really you think about it whether it's clothes and and music and and entertainment and all that it's like you can call the funniest stand-up comedian like a clown, a dancing monkey who needs the audience's approval, or he's like the confident, cool guy who's the funniest person in the world. It's the first one, by the way.
Starting point is 00:36:15 But the problem is everybody else in the world is not cool or lame. They're just, you know. I'm not walking around town in a dress being beat up by thugs with makeup on trying to be something. I'm wearing like khakis and a button up and I just go to my regular job. So either way, you're just way worse. It's just like, you're just right in the middle.
Starting point is 00:36:36 So that's the real inspirational quote is you're normal and boring, so kill yourself. Back to voicemails. What up, Danny? Hey, KFC crew. I got a am I the asshole for you. All right.
Starting point is 00:36:49 I'm trying to make this quick as possible because I know KFC is always bitching about this. So moved in with some friends from Illinois. I'm literally just going to live here for about a year. We all decided to move to Florida. Them for personal training style business. Me, I was starting porn. More on that later. So I moved to Florida with them to Tampa.
Starting point is 00:37:04 I keep going back and forth from Miami to Tampa over the next few months. They have a breakup because it's a guy and a girl I was living with. They were dating. So during the breakup, the guy kind of has a breakdown, starts property damage in the new house they're living in. So girlfriend who was living with a friend because she moved out, obviously. Well, anyway, so comes back with a friend, grabs a bunch of shit that's important. So my mother had passed about 2018. So a lot of shit, photos, memorabilia, things like that, like memories type stuff. Her engagement ring with my father, all that stuff. So they take it in a bag to protect it.
Starting point is 00:37:36 About a month goes by, I'm bouncing around, living in Miami a lot because I'm working down there in Fort Lauderdale for work. Ask me more if you want about that. Anyway, so I can, hey, where's the bag? So they're like, oh, we'reale for work. Ask me more if you want about that. Anyway. So I can, Hey, where's the bag? So they're like, Oh, we're looking for it. Uh, the friend that she had been staying with was moving. So they're, I don't know. Shit's going back and forth. It turns out they can't find it. They lose the bag. All my mother's stuff. Um, some important stuff with me and my sister too. And Mike, her baby is like just important family shit gone. And they kind of cut themselves out of my life. They, they said apology, a loose-ass apology on the phone once,
Starting point is 00:38:07 and then I've not addressed it, and then they had basically cut me out of their lives since. I think I know your answer on this, but... I mean, where do I go? Am I the asshole? I mean, what the fuck? Like, I know I started a new life down here, but I wanted to stay in contact with them, so...
Starting point is 00:38:19 Yeah. Anyway, rocking the sad boy gear. Not sad boy season, but got to wear it all the time. Check out my Twitter handle if you guys want to hear more about a male's perspective in the industry. I'd be happy to help. I love the support that you guys give us and especially the OnlyFans support. A lot of us make a full-time living off that. First year doing it, getting fucked on my taxes.
Starting point is 00:38:35 But anyway, love you guys. Love the show. Yeah, hope to hear your perspective. All right, thanks. We got to get him on. I know. He's coming June 20th, 24th. Oh, nice. We gotta get him on He's coming June 20th Oh nice
Starting point is 00:38:46 We also We got a DM from him Did you see it? I don't think I did Oh I replied to it Where he's talking to a director Oh I did see that yes We might be extra as important
Starting point is 00:38:59 Which would be awesome You know what I want to be? I don't want to be. I don't want to. Very important. That would get me so sick. This is what I want to be. I don't want to have to take my dick out, but I want to be like the cuck in the corner.
Starting point is 00:39:15 I don't want to have to jerk off, but I want to be like I'm the husband who's like, oh, no. Put a little fucking makeup on Kevin. I'm just sitting there in like Crocs and shorts. She's like, Oh, that's my wife getting deep dicked by Danny. Danny's analing my wife.
Starting point is 00:39:32 That'd be great. So here's the deal. You know, I love, I would, I would love to have my boys back here. And ultimately I think these people, like they lost your shit. so it's on them.
Starting point is 00:39:46 But if it really, really means something to you, you gotta go get it right away. You know what I mean? It's that important. It's not important to them. That's a bag of shit to them. It's a bag of nothing. So you might have had to be like,
Starting point is 00:39:59 I'll come get that shit out of the house. We don't want that crazy guy damaging it. I'll be back in Tampa in, you know, four days, and I'll get it from you. But it sounds like he stayed. Oh, I'll get it next time. Oh, we forgot. I'll get it next time, next time, next time.
Starting point is 00:40:11 All of a sudden, that bag of, like, random shit that's important to you that's not important to me is fucking gone. Dude, I tend to, you know, I don't tend to. I wholly agree with you. It is unfortunate. It sucks. They are, it's like, it's again,
Starting point is 00:40:24 you're not an asshole. Danny's not an asshole. They're assholes for losing your shit. You're just lazy. It's like, ah, fuck. I should have taken care of that. We all do that. It happened here. Not to that extent. No wedding rings
Starting point is 00:40:41 or family pictures or something like that. But after the dozen, the first dozen tournament last year, we had an after party at Factory, a bar I frequent. And R.A. came, and he forgot, I guess, a limited edition chiclet sweatshirt there. And then the next day, he was like, is it still there? So I texted the owners, being like, yeah, is it? And they're like, yeah, we got it.
Starting point is 00:41:05 We put it aside for him. And then every time he'd come back, every three to six months, he'd be like, is it still there? And I'd be like, I guess so. I don't fucking know. Take care of this, man. Go check it out, probably. And then I was finally like, it's gone.
Starting point is 00:41:19 I have not asked anybody since that night. Right. But I was like, it's gone. Yeah, yeah. Because you didn't get it in six months. It can't be that since that night. Right. But I was like, it's gone. Yeah, yeah. Because you didn't get it in six months. It can't be that big a deal. Right. Which is also the bigger thing when people are like, I lost my father's ashes or something.
Starting point is 00:41:34 It's like, it doesn't really matter. He was already dead. Yeah, like it doesn't matter. That means something to you? It's sitting in an attic collecting dust. It's just the only. It's like. The guilt lays on.
Starting point is 00:41:44 Yes, yes. Even in your heart of hearts, you know it doesn't matter. But it's the guilt of losing that. Maybe you have in your head, like, if I need some comfort, I can go upstairs and look at that picture and maybe it'll bring you some comfort. But you would never do that. And honestly, most often, when you do do that, I think it doesn't bring you happiness.
Starting point is 00:42:01 It's like, people want to move on. So, I think the real lesson here is that physical things, I don't mean shit, man. No, no, they don't like all that important shit for your mother. Fuck it. Dude, I've been literally when my parents moved out of my childhood home last year, two years ago, whenever that was, I they asked me, do you want to come home and clean out your stuff? And I said, just throw it all away. I don't I don't know what's there. Yeah, well, that's that's what I'm going to do when I'm cleaning out my place now.
Starting point is 00:42:27 I'm like, I should go through this and separate things I want to donate. Garbage. Or I want to keep. And I'm like, I haven't opened up that closet in two years. So whatever it is, I haven't used in two years. I don't wear it. I don't use it. I don't need it.
Starting point is 00:42:40 Just purge the whole fucking thing. I have so much shit in my apartment, man. Moving out is going to be a nightmare. I've acquired so much clothes and samples. I'll never move. I'll die in this apartment. It'll be next week, but I'll die in this apartment. Alright, last voicemail. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:42:58 Alright, what's up KFC fights, Jackie, Nick, Zach, the whole crew, everybody. How's it going? So today I have a little bit of a would you rather. Now, I asked my boys this, but Jackie, you can answer. I'm curious to see what a girl would say. So would you rather be completely bald and have perfect trim bush all the time, like you never have to deal with it, never have to worry about it,
Starting point is 00:43:19 it's always the perfect length, or would you rather have luscious locks like Brad Pitt and Matthew McConaughey locks, all beautiful lettuce, and just completely untameable, unkempt bush. You cannot do anything about it. You cut it, it grows right back. It's just unkempt stuff. You can barely see any. On the count of three, we'll say our answer?
Starting point is 00:43:38 One, two, three. Luscious locks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, no brainer. First of all, my bush doesn't grow like that well but yours will yours is like no no no no no you're not that's not the hypothetical that's not the hypothetical the hypothetical is that i keep my no hypothetical is you have a bush that bush that grows out of control it's my it's my bush no it's not he didn't say that he says you have a bush that's hypothetically out of control the the luscious locks you can you you can use that
Starting point is 00:44:04 that helps you in 100 of your life it helps you with women but it can use that. That helps you in 100% of your life. It helps you with women, but it helps you at work. It helps you with your confidence. It helps you with everything. You could become a movie star. You could become an actor. You could become famous with that hair. And then, they're running their fingers through your hair all the time and they want to scratch your head.
Starting point is 00:44:20 And then they get to your messy dick and they're like, that's unfortunate, but whatever. What are you going to do? At that point, because now you have a hot boyfriend with the great hair and all that shit. How messy is it? It's not that bad. Well, he did say untameable, so I am picturing Jumanji,
Starting point is 00:44:32 like Robin Williams in the jungle for 20 years. A tamed mid-quad. Yeah. You can't wear a five-inch inseam. I think it's like dreadlocks. Yeah. I think, yeah, the inseams, it's coming out the bottom of your shorts. So you got to wear pants and all that shit.
Starting point is 00:44:45 But it's like, okay, so maybe girls, like, don't love that you got a hairy dick. But also, I'm on the billboards in Times Square because I got fucking hair. You know what I mean? I mean, that's, that's, that's, I don't want to be rude to our listeners, but that's the dumbest question ever asked. That's the dumbest one. Now, I mean. Would you have a perfectly manicured, Bush? Bro, not since I was fucking 18 have I thought about my pubic hair.
Starting point is 00:45:10 John has been pushing that Bush is back for the last decade. No, no, no. Yes, you have. Personally, yes, I have. Tits and Bush. Brian Simpson tweeted that very recently. Yeah? You and Brian can run on tickets together.
Starting point is 00:45:23 Tits and Bush. I'm going to pull it up. It was whatever the point, whatever I'm trying to say. But that's not what I'm trying to say right now. What I'm trying to say is I forgot. We're wrapping this up. That was crazy. Hang on.
Starting point is 00:45:37 That was full-blown gibberish. Yeah, that was total gibberish. I want a clip of just that. That was insane. That was absolutely ludicrous. I literally forgot what I was trying to say. Yeah. I'm trying to pull up the Brian Simpson tweet.
Starting point is 00:45:49 That was fucking pure. Let's be honest. America started going to shit when we let hairy pussies go out of style. All right. Funny coming from a black guy. All right.

Yeah, that's what I mean. But you're like round, right? And filled out.
Starting point is 00:47:49 I'm lumpy and rolly. You're just like, boom, I'm a little bit bigger. You know what it is? It's the same way titties work. It's a man's body. You want to be plump and firm. You want to be saggy. Right.
Starting point is 00:48:01 That's what I am. You're like a little fuck up bee cup. I'm a melted candle. Yeah, yeah, candle yeah I'm just the perfect yeah no it makes perfect sense I thought about this
Starting point is 00:48:10 and you know what the worst part is is usually you know at least like skinnier people are normally like healthier at least
Starting point is 00:48:17 I don't I'm a bag of bones I'm a piece of shit so it's not even like I'm like well I wake up in the morning and I feel better than you no no
Starting point is 00:48:23 we probably feel the same fucking way I'm just ugly when I take my shirt off where you're kind of like he's a big guy whatever you let it rock you let i mean we were just talking about the picture you posted on mother's day yes which is it's it's a lot like the uh it's all like the seinfeld episode with the the picture of kramer where it's like i can't look away it's yeah it's seductive. I was like, that's hot, dude. That's what I'm going for. I was like, I fucked that dude. I'm a straight man
Starting point is 00:48:50 and I fucked this guy. Successfully, you know, Pride Month is here and the vibe has successfully been put out, man. I'll get sucked off by a guy. I don't care. Truly, who cares? It hasn't happened yet.
Starting point is 00:49:05 I haven't felt like I'm fine. You're just waiting for the right time. There was one time where I met this guy who reminded me. You know when you meet someone and they're just like, oh, that's my buddy, whatever. This guy reminded me of my friend's ex. He had the same energy of a cute woman. And he was a little blonde guy. I was doing shows, right?
Starting point is 00:49:23 He's just kind of chatting me up. I had a second show to go to, but if I didn't, who knows? Like, true, like, I'm like, I might have gotten sucked off by that guy. I got a full-on offer. 15 more minutes, man. I got a full-on offer once by a guy
Starting point is 00:49:35 to suck my dick, and I said no, and it's the gayest thing I've ever done. It really is. Hit this guy up. Do you have his contacts? If you had a... He's a spin instructor. Oh, that guy. He was my spin instructor. This guy was a spin instructor. Oh, that's how-
Starting point is 00:49:46 He was my spin instructor. This guy was so fucking hot. And a spin instructor in his class. I mean, like- The homophobia was raging at that point. Who could turn down- It's homophobia to turn down that guy. He was that hot. He was showing me his dildos.
Starting point is 00:50:02 He's like, this is like this dildo and this dildo. I was like, like, listen. He was telling me his dildos. He's like, whoa, really? He's like, yo, this is like this dildo and this dildo. And I was like, sick, sick. Yeah, yeah. And then he's like, I'll suck your dick. Yeah. You saw the dildos? You're like, those are way bigger than my dick.
Starting point is 00:50:13 Yeah, I'm going to embarrass myself if I fuck this guy. You were hard. You just couldn't tell. Your dick was barely making a dent in your khakis. So if you went out this weekend, free night, all the time in the world, and some dude... Would he have to be hot?
Starting point is 00:50:32 Again, it's not a hot thing. That's what's weird, right? It's an energy thing. And I will say, I would 100% prefer a woman to suck my dick. Just to be clear. Which is funny, you know, but... And I will say, he's got, like, I do want him to
Starting point is 00:50:48 be a little feminine. You know what I mean? That's the thing. So you want a dude who's basically a chick. Like, give me a little long hair. He has, like, he has makeup, but you can't tell. Can I ask you what I mean? Like, he's got a real natural look going.
Starting point is 00:50:59 He's wearing war paint. Can I ask you a question? Yeah. Timothy Chalamet. What's his deal? No. No! There's a smarminess to him that I don't, you know what I mean? Timothy Chalamet. What's his deal? No. No! There's a smarminess to him that I don't, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:51:08 I don't disagree. I like, that's why you like him. Because he's like a little smug little fucker. That's why you're into him. I don't want smugness. We had a clip on our show once. The question I asked was, what was it? It was like, who do you think would do better with the opposite sex's body parts?
Starting point is 00:51:25 Basically, like chicks with dicks or guys with pussies. The way I posed it, I don't know how it was, but I was asking him, like, men or women, and he answered, Timothee Chalamet was his answer. And I was like, that's not what I meant to do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So ever since then. Oh, that's a classic hypothetical. It's the, like, Bailey J versus Buck Angel hypothetical.
Starting point is 00:51:44 Is that what you're talking about? No. A woman with a dick? A hot woman with a dick? It is kind of like that, yeah. Or a guy with a pussy? Right. That's a thousand times out of a thousand girl with a penis.
Starting point is 00:51:55 It's not even. No, no, no. Like the penis is the least objectionable part. You know what I mean? I don't want stubble. I don't want smelling like a don't want to smell like a guy i can deal with a dick yeah i said before like would you rather kiss a guy with a beard i would rather suck a guy's dick before i kiss a guy yeah yeah i don't want kissing you right now absolutely
Starting point is 00:52:16 not i'll blow you before i do that i will say i grew up in a i'm greek so i'm used to kissing stubble cheeks so it's like like, I'm good with that. I think I would probably, but like a deep, a prolonged make-out, a passionate make-out. The beard and the mustache. It was like, I think in the movie it's like, would you rather kiss a guy for 15 seconds or like suck his dick for two or something like that. Oh, I see, I see. And if it's with the stubble and the feeling and all that. I'm with you.
Starting point is 00:52:41 No way. But then again, to go back to that. I've had a popsicle before. Let me go back to that little, yeah, of course. That little blonde guy from that show, I with you. No way. But then again, to go back to that. I've had a popsicle before. Let me go back to that little, yeah, of course, that little blonde guy from that show. I would kiss him for hours.
Starting point is 00:52:49 You know, I don't care. You know what I mean? But he's got to read. He's got, and you know, I think that's also the thing of like we're in an age where it's like we are,
Starting point is 00:52:56 we're understanding gender is fucking bullshit and it is kind of like a, people are just kind of like somewhere on a spectrum. You know what I mean? It gets hard for him. And so I think I'm like, you know, a guy that's somewhere on a spectrum you know what I mean it gets hard for and so I think I'm like
Starting point is 00:53:06 you know a guy that's closer to the you know to the other end of the spectrum he's just kind of like you know on his they them shit yeah
Starting point is 00:53:13 do your thing man you know whatever on his they shit you know what I mean that's fine if I found out that you I think we're
Starting point is 00:53:20 yeah we're all figuring out there's different stuff we can fuck making out if you were making out with that dude you're making out with that dude, you're making out with that guy for hours, like you said. That's way gayer than if you fucked him.
Starting point is 00:53:29 Oh, easily. If you were just like, I fucked that guy, you kissed him for a few hours, you're a gay guy. He was great. He was cool. I wonder where he's at. He's like, wait a minute. I'm trying to figure out where the show is. It was in Brooklyn.
Starting point is 00:53:44 At the Faulkner that was the bar this was like four years ago if you're out there and you've kept it tight hit me up this has to be the first podcast in history where all three people on it came out we're all at least heteroflexible.
Starting point is 00:54:06 Minimum. And possibly bi. You know what I mean? If not, probably gay. Listen, guys, unshackle yourselves from bar stool and go suck some cock. All right? It's time.
Starting point is 00:54:16 It's time, fellas. I really think the first step is, the first time that you watch a hot transsexual porn star and you're like, well, wait a minute. Well, wait a minute. This is awesome. I love this. Right?
Starting point is 00:54:30 Like, that's the first time you're like, well, wait a minute. I could do this. Yo, I saw Aubrey Kate and I was like, god damn. All right. There we go, fellas. Aubrey Kate is so hot. There we go. And it's like, I, you know.
Starting point is 00:54:40 The sexual liberation of KFC is happening right now. It's like, this is a lot easier than I thought it would be. I don't know. The sexual liberation of KFC is happening right now. This is a lot easier than I thought it would be. I don't know. All my answers for the hypotheticals have changed. I've got to go back to about 10 years of podcasting and change all my answers. It's a new age, dude. It's a new era. Well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:57 No, I mean, we figured out the math behind it all. It's like if you're watching transsexual porn, transgender porn, it's more tits and chicks, and then, you know, there's always gonna be a dick. It's more bang for your buck. If the dick's gonna be there anyway, let it be attached to a pair of beautiful Brazilian fake breasts.
Starting point is 00:55:18 Right? Just bolted on there. Why not? Plastic tits. Absolutely, man. And listen, the technology's out there these days. Some of them are some of those titties are looking awesome. Give it another decade. You give it another ten years, you're not going to be able to tell a fucking thing. I do feel, I do, you do
Starting point is 00:55:33 kind of, and it is pride month, of course, and you got, my heart goes out to like the like pioneers. Yeah. You know what I mean? Where it's like they were dealing with like less, it's like how like the NBA players were like Dr. J's playing in like Converse's. Yeah. You know what i mean where it's like they were they were dealing with like less it's like it's like how like the nba players were like dr jay's playing like converse's yeah you know what i mean it's like i had no three-point line yeah yeah exactly just like the creaky floors it's like the equipment just was not i mean you know back in the day you're you're in the back alley i'm like you know
Starting point is 00:55:58 i'm gonna die on a table somewhere now it's like you walk out looking like a kardashian yeah what the fuck is this like i wonder if like you're like 50s look at the girls' nows breasts the way Bob Cousy looks at somebody's ankles. You know what I mean? Or look at the ACL surgery. That's what it is. So now someone tears an ACL. They're back in four months. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:56:24 It's like microfracture surgery. You've got that. You're good, man. This used to be a career ender. Yeah, the way Marty Stoudemire looks and fucking, you know, rubs his knees. He's like, what the fuck? Now I've only had another three years, you know?
Starting point is 00:56:37 I was telling Kevin before the show that I listened to parts of your PMT interview, and I heard you kind of stumble and pretend. Like, what's that website called? They kind of abuse the girls, and then afterwards they're nice to them. No, that was, listen, that was a true. I came on here, the first thing I said is, I'll fuck a guy if he's cute.
Starting point is 00:56:59 You think I was stumbling around kink.com? I just forgot the thing. You.com. I just forgot. I forgot the thing. You're in a safe space here. Oh, no, no. I'm open anywhere. That was a pure memory fumble. That wasn't like a...
Starting point is 00:57:15 I used to love the one where girls would wrestle each other. And then the loser got fucked. That was sick. Well, that's how he got sex. I had sex like that for a while. Really? Combative? That was just abuse, John. I was so scared about pregnancy
Starting point is 00:57:31 that we would wrestle for a long time. And then I'd pull out so early I would just jerk off on top of it. I like how you're saying this about you're worried about pregnancy where it sounds like maybe you were molested. And that's the only way you could come? The only way you could come is by getting wrestled?
Starting point is 00:57:49 100%. Really? Nailed it. Nailed it. He's been molested five times. I tell him all the time. And it's not like, as far as we know, it's not like your uncle fucked you. But it's a lot of weird shit with babysitters and things where it's like, yo, that was not normal, dude. And he's always like, it's not like your uncle fucked you but it's a lot of weird shit with like babysitters and things
Starting point is 00:58:06 where it's like yo that was not normal dude and he's always like it's not molesting I'm like yeah he just psychoanalyzed you in like five minutes bro that's the energy you're putting out I can go man I'm sorry perfect
Starting point is 00:58:23 absolutely perfect yeah no we kink.com I can go, man. I'm sorry. Perfect. Absolutely perfect. Yeah, no. Kink.com, we have a good relationship with that San Francisco Armory. Yes. Yes, yes. Because what we learned is, like with our audience and kind of like a microcosm of society in general, you show people the picture of that castle from the corner with the flag in the in the nighttime sky you know oh and you either know it stop three sentences ago i got it and you either
Starting point is 00:58:50 know it right or you don't and it's like which one of you and uh you know i'm i roll with the crowd who knows you know i'm having a pavlovian response right now you just you just said it my fucking my dick is like three quarters hard right now just from the image. Absolutely. Yeah. It's like, you know, some people are like, what is that? Like a, you know, like a civic center? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:14 It's a torture sex dungeon. I bet if they took the like editing off it where it makes it kind of like ominous, it would just be like a pretty nice building. You know what I mean? Oh, it's an old architecture. It looks like the New Girl apartment complex. Yeah. Because New Girl always has like a shop from right outside. And it looks...
Starting point is 00:59:30 We need a crossover. It's very comfortable. We need a crossover. Nick and Schmidt banging. They're in the fucking dungeon. Schmidt's gagged. Ball gagged up. You've been making the rounds, dude.
Starting point is 00:59:42 You've been putting in work for the special, huh? I'm trying, dude. Yeah. So my special's coming out June 5th, Sunday and yeah I've been trying I'm surprised I feel like you're the type who would be like I don't want to do promotion, fuck it
Starting point is 00:59:55 you're on your grind, you cheated, you did all your garbage I'm doing everything oh you did garbage? I did that show on Zoom over the pandemic. I love those dudes. I just listened to that today. He was one of their first guests.
Starting point is 01:00:09 And he was like, I did that back when I was like, well, this isn't going to work. But I'll throw you a bow. Those guys are hilarious. God damn, did it work, man. I'm so happy for them. They blew up. That was awesome. But yeah, dude, I mean, the thing is I love stand-up comedy.
Starting point is 01:00:21 That's the funny thing is stand-up is like i mean it really it's funny because it's the thing people actually care the least about like right now like they want people want like viral little stuff they want like you know videos and podcasting they want videos all this kind of stuff and the actual like live performance which is my favorite part right like i love there's something like magical about being in that room like even a special to some degree doesn't really capture what's going on. I think that's the cool thing about standup is like every show is its own kind of like relationship between the comic and the crowd. But, you know, the way to mass get your standup out there is a special.
Starting point is 01:00:56 And so I just want people to see it, dude. It's like I, you know, I could have probably sold it to like, you know, a streamer. I could have like waited a little longer and longer and tried and made a deal, whatever. But I just fucking figured let's put it on YouTube. Not everyone is familiar with my comedy. I just want people to – just to see what I'm capable of. That's the way to maximize it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:17 People can see it, right? And the way to do that is actually – it's just like promoing it as much as possible. No, I get that. I mean it's funny how manying it as much as possible. No, I get that. I mean, it's, it's funny how many people are like, I do podcasts in order to sell my tickets. Yes.
Starting point is 01:01:32 But then at one point I think it kind of flipped where it was like, I have this standup and then people go find my podcast and I'm making millions now. And it's like, which, you know, which, which direction you're coming from. I think there's a lot of people who are great podcasters.
Starting point is 01:01:43 Sure. Probably don't need to be doing specials in stand-up comedy. So it depends on what you are. And then the people who can do both are obviously where you're at, where it's like this is – we heard you say how you hate podcasting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But in a way, that's also allowed you to be like, I'm just going to put it on YouTube because I don't need the money
Starting point is 01:02:02 and all that shit. Oh, of course. I'm so fucking dumb in podcasting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here's the thing it on YouTube because I don't need the money and all that shit. I'm so fucking dumb in podcasts. Here's the thing. I actually don't hate pod... I actually don't understand my emotions for it. It's like all of my emotions. It's like your sexuality.
Starting point is 01:02:14 We'll work through it right now together. A lot of confusion. A lot of confusion. You want to lay down? If someone were to say, I'll pay you to talk to Kevin But like, like, like if, if, if someone would say, I'll pay you to talk to Kevin every day. Yeah. I like that.
Starting point is 01:02:28 It's fun to catch up with your friends. Yeah. Cause I don't talk to most of my friends who I don't have a podcast with. I don't talk to you. Never talk to me. Right, right, right.
Starting point is 01:02:34 So it's nice to talk to them, but it's like, I only talk to my friends if we're recording the conversation. Well, that's exactly right. That's what's weird about it is that it takes this, like, like even our show,
Starting point is 01:02:43 right. Even come down. It's like the reason it worked is because we were just comics fucking around who had a we riffed well together and when we hung out it was the best time right because we're just at a diner and we're just fucking right but then once you monetize it it becomes your job job and then it's like and then like all the fun you've taken everything good about your relationship now that's the job and everything else you know which you never really cared about like it never it didn't matter how like compatible you guys were about scheduling like whether you
Starting point is 01:03:15 were a night person morning person whatever like none of that mattered you know whether one of you like to do you know it's just like business compatibility never now it's like there's no correlation between whether you're good at talking to someone and whether you line up on all these other things so then it just you take the best parts of your relationship and that's just a job and now you have to focus on all the other bullshit and it's like becomes fucking annoying and it takes the special you basically like take money you sell your friendship for money that's what happens and you don't own it anymore that's how it works the ip of your friendship is gone that's why you know every great duo breaks up and every radio show has a like a fallout because eventually it's like
Starting point is 01:03:53 we're not friends anymore we became business partners and that always ends up you know yeah falling apart eventually or just like some or even just like spending that much time and then it's like or you just want to do something different right it's just like yeah it's just like spending that much time and then it's like – or you just want to do something different, right? It's just like even if you're still friends, it's like, well, I don't have to see you fucking twice a week. You know what I mean? I see my mom once a month. When did you guys start? You know what I mean? It's been six years.
Starting point is 01:04:15 See, I don't know. We're good, me and you. We're good. We've never had like anything. We've been doing it for 10 now. I also do think there's part – and I mean i did say that thing about hating podcasting but the truth is like making the rounds has been kind of fun because it's just like i don't you know i'm just like oh going on shows doing other shows really they take they they have the burden of like making it flow and good and i'm just like your own podcast and
Starting point is 01:04:38 also i think we all we all kind of jumped into it no one knew what the fuck was going on like we don't ever take breaks right like the way we do our show and i think like you know i think it's like the way every human being deserves like fucking vacation time it's like the same of podcast like bro we feel like we can't take time off and that's fucking stupid right it's like but you know what's crazy is i would tell you guys i'd be like you're nuts you could take a month off exactly And they would be so happy when you come back. And then someone says that to me and I'm like, no, no, they're going to find another show and they'll never listen to us again.
Starting point is 01:05:08 And then we're, you know, then it's all over. I mean, we have never stopped. I'm like, when do we do? How does this stop? And we just do this until we die? I'll kill myself. Yeah. I was going to say.
Starting point is 01:05:19 I'll handle that one. And then I can retire. Then I can be like, then I can be the hero. Like I can't do with anybody else, bro. I can't possibly talk to another person ever again. Yeah, I mean, once you have a sales team or clients being like, well, we need segments. We want to sponsor this and sponsor that. And then it's like, all right, we can do that. But it's funnier when we're just like, yo, you were molested yesterday.
Starting point is 01:05:43 Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is the body armor molestation repressed memory of the week. Occasionally they pop up. It does happen. We talked to a porn star. We talked to a Bella Danger last
Starting point is 01:05:59 year and lost Big fan of her work. Love a schnoz. Love a nice schnoz on a woman for sure. You know what she's doing? She just got into college. She's going back to college. I did an interview with her talking about college. Just like how funny it is that, like, because it's not like she's
Starting point is 01:06:15 doing, she's going to classes. She's like on campus. I was like, you realize how ridiculous that is, right? She did not get it. I didn't, I never thought of that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And of course, you know, she goes to class in like, you know, booty shorts and a fucking tank top. It's not right she's like i didn't i never thought of that yeah yeah yeah and of course you know she goes to class in like you know booty shorts and a fucking tank top it's not like she's wearing a robe or anything right and guys are obviously like beating off in the corner but i mean we lost a major sponsor just because i had a conversation with her that's when i was
Starting point is 01:06:38 like fuck that yeah i mean i think what it is for me is like, and just like I did, I started doing comedy because like, I wanted to do whatever the fuck I wanted. I didn't do it to be rich and like have a job like, yes, I could. I was, I was pretty good at school. Like, you know, I could have had I could have been making money out of it. But I was like, No, money's not important to me. I want freedom. I want to be able to do whatever the fuck I want. And then once even something successful starts feeling like a job or you feel trapped by it, some of the, like, magic is gone. And that's all psychological. You know, that's all, like, you know. I mean, like, I don't think you can fight it. It is psychological, but I don't think there's anybody who still has the magic, you know. But then it's like, and then you go through all, I mean, these, you know, then you go through the other thing of it where it's like well it's still a fucking good job it's like it's like like you you know you want to switch with me I'm working on a factory hours a week but I do also think that every job has its own like burdens where it's
Starting point is 01:07:44 like I used to love being able to go to work hungover and just fucking stare at a screen and be like, I'm not doing anything today. Whereas this is like you do that, you lose your audience. I was the king of skating by. I was so good at that. I worked at a law firm and one of my jobs before I moved to New York because I needed to save up money was I was a paralegal, and I didn't know what the law firm was. And it was like this trashy Baltimore fucking suburb fucking office. And I realized pretty quickly that it was a foreclosure law firm. And they were taking people's houses.
Starting point is 01:08:18 And I was like, well, I don't want to be a part of this. This is after the housing crisis, which is like people were tricked into selling I was working directly with collateralized loans and all that shit I was like six months into working I'd seen on CNBC like collateralized debt is the problem I was like oh fuck that's what I do
Starting point is 01:08:37 I do poorly that checks out I got there and I was like well I don't want to fucking work for these people and I was like well I'll just like
Starting point is 01:08:48 stop working and like I'm sure they'll fire me in like three or four weeks whatever by the time they figure it out and I was just like
Starting point is 01:08:56 in the meantime I'm gonna go on two hour lunches I'm gonna be the fucking you know the life of the office I'm just shooting the shit with everyone
Starting point is 01:09:02 everyone loves me because I'm not doing work it's office space I'm going around you're the guy you're the around the joke guy yeah cool guy and it took them literally like six months to fire me and i just literally not doing anything i was not doing is when i was starting stand-up like i was pretty early on in my career i was like doing open mics i'm just writing shit my boss would come by i would hit the like mouse yeah you get the screensaver but i was i wasn't logged in so it would just be like, oh, my boss is coming
Starting point is 01:09:26 and it would just be like, the login screen. I was literally playing on my cell phone. And it was like, I didn't have an office. I had cubicles out in the open. It was so completely disrespectful. I was begging to get fired. And they just wouldn't do it. And honestly, there is part of me that's like, it would be
Starting point is 01:09:42 fun to see what scams I'd be capable of if shit didn't work. I scare myself sometimes with just casual lying. there is part of me that's like it would be fun to see what scams i'd be capable of oh yeah if i do feel like it didn't work i know i scare myself sometimes with just like casual lying and the ability the ability to like you know because i am lazy even yeah yeah it's like yeah like that's when you really put your laziness to the test you know what i realized is like you know if especially if you work for a bigger place they gotta have all their ducks in a row before they fire that's what happened. So I did the same thing.
Starting point is 01:10:07 I was begging them to fire me. They were like, hey, how about we transfer you to another department where you'll thrive better? And I was like, no, because I had Barstool kind of lined up. They're like, what do you mean no? And I was like, I'm good. And they're like, that means we're going to fire you. I was like – but then I started thinking about all of the people who got fired before me, and I was like, boy, you guys must really suck. Because they're trying to fire me and they can't.
Starting point is 01:10:30 And you got the boot immediately. Well, it's because there's a certain kind of like, what does not get, like someone working too hard is a bigger mistake than someone not working hard enough in a corporate environment. Nobody respects you. Everybody takes advantage of you. And the bosses are worried you're going to make them look bad. And the people that you're like, well,
Starting point is 01:10:47 their boss will see. Their boss doesn't give a fuck. Their boss is trying to figure out how to fucking embezzle money. Yeah. Which literally happened at Law Firm, by the way. I think one of the partners literally blew his brains out because they got caught just stealing from the firm. It was such
Starting point is 01:11:04 a fucking mess. What a lame way to kill yourself like blowing your brain out no because of embezzlement from a firm like was it a major firm no i don't know i mean i'm sure i feel like he was probably these guys like i said these guys were fucking they're just like it was a joke of a they didn't even know how to be white collar criminal like you're not even going to real jail dude right you're not hang out for a couple months and come home go kill yourself christ almighty but anyway yeah it was just like that was a fucking uh yeah that was a hilarious time in my life i love i do i did love and that's the other thing is like when and then i'm sure you know when when like starting barstool and all this shit was your passion it's like that's an exciting time like that's how i felt too at that
Starting point is 01:11:41 time that's it's like that's the worst thing about it is that like, I know for a fact. That's the, that is probably what, unpack more stuff, depression. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:11:51 I love it. Like, I'll never be as happy as I was. You're chasing the high, you're chasing the dragon. I think it was 500 bucks a month
Starting point is 01:11:57 when we started. It was fucking, and you know, at the time, I was happy, but I wasn't like – You didn't realize. You never know during the good times.
Starting point is 01:12:06 There's the good times. Yeah, yeah. I mean that's the same way. Like my last year in Baltimore is probably the happiest year of my life so far because it was like – I was like, you know, you're the best comic in a small city. Yeah. You know what I mean? Big Fish Small Pond is awesome.
Starting point is 01:12:17 Yeah, Big Fish Small Pond. It was the first time in my life I was getting pussy because I believed in myself. You know what I mean? I had a college girlfriend, and that's the only person i had fucked and then i live in baltimore and then i'm just going hard working saving up living at home and then i'm moving with my buddies and it's like i'm getting finally getting sucked off you know what i mean and and and it's like from your buddies they were yeah we were just like such a it was such a bro household it was fucking it was it was just and i worked at a paint store making uh ten dollars an hour you know what i mean it was just like it was just fucking great it was
Starting point is 01:12:49 it was a great time and i like just hung over always going to work like feeling like shit all i cared about was comedy and it was just fucking it was just and again i had i was so poor i would eat like eggs and beans like beans. That was my go-to meal. I would bake the eggs and beans. That's fucking Danny DeVito. That's Charlie and Frank. And I would just make fucking literally pans of it and just fucking eat eggs and beans because it was the cheapest shit to have.
Starting point is 01:13:17 What's worse, eggs and beans or tomato soup? I would do tomato soup and I would melt cheese in it to make it a little thicker. Slice a crab single. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's like a deconstructed tomato soup and I would melt cheese in it to make it a little thicker. Slice a crab single. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's like a deconstructed tomato soup and grilled cheese situation. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:31 Yeah, yeah, yeah. That shit is like... But, you know, if you talk, if someone's listening to this right now and they're in that, they're also, they're the ones going like, I can barely make my rent, dude. I'm, you know, grinding, I'm struggling. I guess I did feel really, that's the other thing. You were happy you knew it? At the time, I was like like this fucking rocks yeah I just assumed it would just be like go
Starting point is 01:13:49 forever like you would get happier yeah you know that's what it is and that's like like oh no like I'm not everything I figured I figured that every life sucks people you love will start dying yeah every woman you've ever loved will be with another man who treats her better who doesn't have the issues yeah yeah yeah you're gonna figure out every mistake you've made seven years too late like it's like and now it's like you know i figure it out i feel like like half the reason i do the podcast is to be like billy madison where i'm like yeah yeah yeah you know like i tell him work does suck that's not like, I tell them, like, work does suck. That's not, like, a cliche. Moving in and trying to get married is fucking hard.
Starting point is 01:14:27 Buying a house and going to the Burbs fucking sucks. These are not weird. I'm saying it for a reason. And then everybody just does it. The amount of people I have come up to me and go, like, man, I'm, like, 10 years younger than you. I started listening to you, and, like, I thought, like, that was a joke, and I thought this was fake,
Starting point is 01:14:39 and I thought that you were exaggerating. And then I did it, and it was real. I was like, I'm trying to fucking tell you. No, no, just life sucks. Yeah, yeah real man life is fucking hard uh but you know whatever it's again it's like yeah just it's like figuring out your basic problems helps so much and then it's like and now i feel like i don't know how you guys feel but it's like you know shit and also i think everyone's life was horrible this has been such a weird stretch for everyone like pandemic you know the pandemic to here, whatever.
Starting point is 01:15:06 But I feel pretty good now. I feel like, you know, got the specials on the road for nine months. You're good. Nine months in a row. And it was just like, dude, it's been wild. I have two more weekends, and it's like, I can't wait. I'm taking the whole summer off. When you say that, you mean like you do not go home or you're just always bouncing back and forth?
Starting point is 01:15:23 So it's like the longest I've been home like since so it started in august and the longest i've been home if you don't count the two times i got covid and the christmas i was here for a week but other than that i haven't been home for longer than like four days at a time yeah and and there's there's been stretches where i've been gone nine weeks or stretches where i've been gone five weeks like just straight hotels or you have a family in places and shit? Hotels, Airbnbs. When I was on the West Coast, I just kept going back to L.A. instead of flying back to New York. I was going L.A. to Seattle, L.A., whatever, Vancouver, San Diego, all that kind of shit.
Starting point is 01:15:56 Jesus. And I can't wait to fucking be done with it. And then it's like, you know, I think you learn all those lessons and like, it's just like, well, let me just fucking, we are lucky, right? Like guys like us are hysterically lucky, like way too much of everything for what we do, right? Like, like way too, way, way. And so it's like decadence for no reason. And then, and then it's kind of, then I'm kind of thinking like, well, then let's fucking
Starting point is 01:16:19 figure out what will make you happy within those parameters, right? Where it's like, so I'm excited, dude. Like the specialist part of it, working on new materials. What do you think would make you happy with those parameters right where it's like so i'm excited dude like the special is part of it working on what do you think would make you happy what do you got well working working on you like different like so i've been touring a brand new hour like it's not ready by any stretch of the imagination but you know it's 45 new minutes it's not on the special um and then it's just like you know like creative stuff that kind of like interests me you know like i want to act more i want to like write stuff and it's like stuff that kind of interests me. I want to act more. I want to write stuff.
Starting point is 01:16:47 And it's like stuff that's in your wheelhouse. But part of what was fun in the beginning, at least for me with comedy, and I'm sure for covering sports, blogging, podcasting, whatever it was for you guys, is figuring it out is kind of fun. Getting good at something is fucking very rewarding. And that's a basic human thing. That's why people take up hobbies and shit like that. So it's like, you know, I just. And like, that's a basic human thing. Like, that's why people take up hobbies and shit like that. So it's like,
Starting point is 01:17:05 you know, I just want to like, I'm taking the whole summer off and I'm just, I'm not doing comedy. I'm just like, gonna, I'm gonna get,
Starting point is 01:17:12 are you taking Comptown off? Yeah, we'll probably pre-record a bunch of them and that kind of thing and just like, and just like, I'm, dude,
Starting point is 01:17:19 I'm two months, two months and it's just like, I'm not doing shit. You should, dude. You really should i've been pushing this yeah yeah yeah yeah a few weeks now yeah one one man's barely hanging on i
Starting point is 01:17:32 can tell he's about to collapse one day people somebody's gonna make the switch where like podcasting is gonna be like television where it's like yeah you have have an off season and then you have a premiere and a finale. People get excited for it and shit. And in the meantime, you can find some new shows, but that doesn't mean you abandon all your old shows. But there is a fear of like, I think because it's like,
Starting point is 01:17:55 this is kind of too good to be true and I don't want it to go away as much as it's hard and a problem. If it goes away, I'll feel like such an asshole. So I can't risk it. But, but yeah, that feeling is,
Starting point is 01:18:04 there's also a part of me that's like... Remember the wire when Marlo... He just wins a corner. It's like the end of the... You guys wire guys? Anyway, Kingpin... Oh, I haven't seen it. That's fucking crazy.
Starting point is 01:18:17 You gotta see it. I couldn't get through season two. Oh, that's wild. The docks. That was my neighborhood. Season two was my neighborhood. Like heavy quarantine. I tried. I was like, I'm gonna was my neighborhood. Heavy quarantine. I tried.
Starting point is 01:18:26 I was like, I'm going to do it again. I'm doing it. And I couldn't. I love We Own the City. Okay. I actually haven't seen that one yet. But anyway, so the point I'm trying to make is he's like the kingpin. I think it's season four.
Starting point is 01:18:40 But he's got everything he's ever wanted. But then he just goes out onto a random corner across these kids who have no idea who they are. Like these are young, hungry kids that are like we're in the poverty. They're trying to make it. And he just like takes the corner from them, like shoots a kid, beats the fuck out of and just like and just he's the fucking man. He's like, you know, the top of the operation, no support, no nothing, just wants to win it on his own merit again. And there's part of me that's like, that's kind of fun. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:19:10 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Take everything. Killing kids. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to go do violence in Baltimore. I want to go back home and contribute to the violence. I think there's something about winning and like, just feel like a sports fan. It's like a corporate term
Starting point is 01:19:26 we're gonna win yeah I do hate that we're gonna make more money it's just like being like yeah it's like
Starting point is 01:19:32 the advantage of doing something where it's like people just you know like this existing right like you guys ending up
Starting point is 01:19:39 here is hysterical right like a midtown Manhattan insane crazy like same thing with like the amount of money we make on our podcast it's like but once you get here it's kind of hard to
Starting point is 01:19:50 fuck it up is the truth yeah it really is like right like you could just kind of be you could believe me we try we've been making a bad show for years and there's a thing about inertia and there would be something cool where it's like you're probably going to fail and then succeeding off that that would feel fucking sick. You know what I mean? It would feel something. Starting over completely. I've always said that.
Starting point is 01:20:10 I wish, and I'm sure there are corporate people who hear this and wish I didn't say it out loud, but I wish this fucking tanked. Yeah. And we went back to milk. Yeah, yeah. Give it a couple years. I know. Oh, yeah. Hogs get fat. No, pigs get fat. Hogs get slaughtered, man. We're well on our way. I know. Oh, yeah. Hogs get fat.
Starting point is 01:20:25 No, pigs get fat. Hogs get slaughtered. We're well on our way. We got another summer before we're hogs. We're making our own face creams now. We're about done. I love it. It's so true. It's like, why are we
Starting point is 01:20:40 making any of this shit? Why are we partnering with these people? What's happening? Do you want a Barstool face scrub? Yeah. That's awesome. That's for eight guys. Eight deeply closeted men. Just a guy trying to connect with his father.
Starting point is 01:21:02 Just this poor gay kid who's like, I love sports. Barstool's cool, Dad. Look, I bought a scrub. guy trying to connect with his father just a fucking just this poor gay kid who's like i love sports barstool's cool dad i bought it look i bought a scrub yeah by the way i use it i like it i mean it feels like you need uh it's like some batman shit like when gotham gets yeah big and you need to like tear it down and start over. Because it, I mean, yeah, eventually things collapse, but it almost feels like you need to like pull the plug because it doesn't. Like, it's just like people keep listening.
Starting point is 01:21:33 People keep paying. I mean, don't get me wrong. I will be cashing those checks as long as I possibly can. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But, you know, the other thing is like if you just plan your life a certain way, it's like, you know, let's, my point, i guess my larger point was like let's take advantage of this shit and instead of being like mopey about because it is we won the lottery right yeah do cool shit with it you know take take some vacation time and and fucking keep your mental health okay and then
Starting point is 01:21:58 have a good time you think there's anybody who's doing that right now you know who the the guy who like in general doesn't yeah yeah yeah yeah like life ari shafir is a guy who was doing that first and it was like he would just go to like disappear south america for a month thailand yeah no phone no nothing we had been like two weeks ago last week maybe and i was i was honestly thinking earlier in the interview i was like you kind of remind me ari a little bit yeah well i dude to be completely like and i think this is part of it is pandemic i think a lot of comedians, like, we got scared because, like, touring was gone. Sure. So, like, I would never be on the road this long if I didn't feel like I needed, I had
Starting point is 01:22:32 to make up for a lost year. I think a lot of comedians did that. And a lot of them are just like, fucking, let's take a break. Like, we're too burned out. If Tariq ever does comedy after his tour that he's on right now. It's crazy. I mean, he should never do it again. It's insane. He's doing, like, 1, mean, he should never do it again. It's insane.
Starting point is 01:22:45 He's doing like 1,000 nights. It's like, this is inhuman, man. But, you know, it's like, get it while you can. But it's also like, that's the other cool thing about like, that's to say not comedy is also interesting because it's like, like fucking, how long did Kendrick Lamar take between albums? I'm not Kendrick Lamar. I'm not Kendrick Lamar. I'm not saying that, but it's like, there's definitely like, you also, you also,
Starting point is 01:23:06 you know, there's nothing wrong with like, especially with comedy where it's like, part of it is you got to live a life. You got to have some experiences to talk about. Otherwise, it's just this.
Starting point is 01:23:15 Yeah, yeah. When I was like, yeah, you don't want, nobody wants to hear bits about fucking how much you don't like podcasting. Right.
Starting point is 01:23:21 You know what I mean? People turned us off 45 minutes ago. yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, we started?
Starting point is 01:23:29 That's why when the pandemic, the hardcore lockdown quarantine happened. The best, by the way. I love that life. See, I hated it. I never left my room. I don't know what I'm going to talk about.
Starting point is 01:23:43 I don't know what podcasting is about. Podcastinging was hard i don't have a show to tell you yeah nothing going on well i enjoyed it for the reason of like well everyone's doing nothing so yeah that's what i i i'm like a big homebody i like to chill but i'm always like oh man like the you know the people who have i see on instagram are traveling and doing cool things i'm like oh fuck i should be doing that but when nobody's doing that yeah yeah, you can't feel bad about yourself. I love a rainy day, bro. Dude, 100%, nothing better than that. I love a rainy day.
Starting point is 01:24:11 I don't love three months of monsoon. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. To each their own. Don't live in Thailand, I guess. I live in Tallahassee. It was close. Oh, yeah. Brutal.
Starting point is 01:24:25 What's the worst place you've seen on the road? I've been lucky to not have to do anything that's super dog shit. I was a little bamboozled when I went to Vancouver because Vancouver is an insane city. Love it. I love big city. I'm a big city guy. But the club was just straight up 40 minutes outside of Vancouver. It was just like in the Jersey of Vancouver. You know what I mean? It was just like I was just straight up 40 minutes outside of Vancouver. It was just like in the Jersey of Vancouver.
Starting point is 01:24:46 You know what I mean? It was just like, I was just near Vancouver. I wasn't in it, which is fine, but it was just like, imagine just like, yeah,
Starting point is 01:24:53 it's like thing you're going to do in New York city. And then you do fucking like, um, like, uh, fucking Rockland County. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:00 Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. Yes. Levity live, which is a great club.
Starting point is 01:25:03 I like it, but it's like, if you thought you were gonna be in New York City and you're fucking just hanging out at that mall
Starting point is 01:25:08 going ice skating inside you'd be fucking pissed yeah yeah you're right they got a lot of stores yeah maybe I was playing sports downstairs
Starting point is 01:25:20 yeah oh hell yeah love playing again my brief lacrosse phase I got my stuff there play it again dude i remember i do a fucking piss fit one i was like nine my parents like i mean i played hockey so like hockey skates were now they're over a thousand dollars but at the time they were like 400 bucks right which is so crazy expensive yeah my parents like we don't know if you're gonna like it like you're you're getting him to play in sports. I was like, are you? I was a little proud.
Starting point is 01:25:45 Are you getting him to skate? You think I'm getting him to fucking skate someone else's war? I got him. What a little piece of shit. That's why you got molested? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm sucking Uncle Frank's cock for nothing? He can't chip in a couple hundred bucks?
Starting point is 01:26:13 Yeah, that's tough. You played lacrosse growing up? I mean, I was just like, I played. I don't feel like many people look at you and think lacrosse. Yeah, yeah. I played one season of lacrosse. My coach was fucking annoying, so I didn't. I quit. But it was like, you know, I grew up in Baltimore.
Starting point is 01:26:27 Lacrosse is huge over there. I mean, I was more obviously soccer. My dad played soccer in Greece, and we played soccer growing up our whole lives. And then I always wanted to play football, and then I played a couple seasons of football. I wrestled a little bit. I played a bunch of like Greek church. You want to talk about low-level
Starting point is 01:26:45 basketball? I played in the Greek Orthodox Youth of America League, which a lot of bounce passes. A lot of boxing out. A lot of fundamentals going on at the Greek Orthodox Youth of America tournaments. Mike and drills for days. I thought CYO was the bottom
Starting point is 01:27:00 of the barrel. Greek Orthodox might be. There were some good games. We had some good because some of the guys took it really seriously. And that's the other thing about Greek kids is like half of the kids I grew up with were like grown men at 16. Because they were just like running their father's carryouts. They had like dropped out of school. They had like next tells. Do the family business.
Starting point is 01:27:18 Yeah, yeah, yeah. They were just like, yeah. No, they were just like, and you know, they fucking had, half of them already had beards when they were 11 anyway. So they all, so some of the like high level games are actually pretty good and they would like people would bring in ringers you know what i mean so it was fun because like you know people just got competitive but my my fucking games when i was on the shittier i didn't i didn't stick around long enough to be on like the senior team so it was just like jv greek orthodoxy of america those are bad games. Those are fucking bad games.
Starting point is 01:27:47 I played at such a low level. I did CYO like maybe until middle school. And I was a corner three guy. That's all I could do. Mr. Fucking Analytics. Yeah, you knew. I would do – I had the dolphin shot. The hell yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:03 Oh, no. Oh, no. And when it hit, which was exceptionally rarely. The hell yeah. Oh, no. Oh, no. And when it hit, which was exceptionally rarely. Yeah, yeah. When it hit, the crowd being a couple parents. The six parents watching their kids would clap, and I would be so proud of myself that I would laugh running back and forth. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's how rare it happened.
Starting point is 01:28:21 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I remember, too, being so stoked. My mom came one time. She videotaped, like, one of our games, and I actually was just, I played fucking sick. And you know when you're, like, a little kid, in your mind, you're like, I'm fucking, I'm Jordan. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:28:35 Yeah, of course, of course. And I, like, fucking, like, I blocked the fuck out of this kid, and I'm like, dude, I got to see that. That's awesome. And it was the most pathetic thing I've ever seen. It was just, like, some fucking kid waddling over to a kid who was 4'2 and just being like barely getting it. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:28:52 But I felt like Mutombo when it happened. And you just can't – never let your children see their highlights. It's just like whatever is in their heads is so much better. It's so much better. That is that. Whatever is going on up here is much better than what's out here that's like when uh when when the legion skanks and gillis and them played
Starting point is 01:29:08 basketball the footage of that was like yeah yeah let's never do this again that's a raw that's a sore subject for me i uh tore my planter fashion at the skanks fest podcasters basketball tournament so i so i can't talk about not fucking worth it not worth it at all that is that's all. I didn't want to do it. That's bad, right? I didn't want to do it. Oh, it was horrible. Yeah. I was fucked. That's like, do you need surgery and all that shit?
Starting point is 01:29:29 Or you can cut a heel. I could have. Because the surgery is actually, they cut it. They cut it and it heals. You can kind of just leave it. Yes, I could have done it, but it was just like, they were like, just take like fucking six weeks completely off. They were just like, don't even move it.
Starting point is 01:29:42 All to play ball against, you know, Lewis and Jay. For nothing. For no reason. Something I don't even move it. All to play ball against, you know, Lewis and Jay. For nothing. For no reason. Something I didn't want to do. Something I was like, this is fucking annoying. Like, I can't believe I have to do this before the shows. Didn't get to do the shows. There was some girl,
Starting point is 01:29:55 some girl with a big fake ass was in my DMs. Some skanks fan. You know that I would have fucked her easily. You know what I mean? Instead of icing your foot in the hole. I don't get to do that. Now I'm icing. Sorry to talk to you, I gotta take i don't get to do that yeah yeah yeah and it fucking it was kind of like running down the court and like it popped you was like yeah i don't even remember i think it was just just the pot and i heard the pop it was awful dude and and it was yeah so i'm just like which sucks it's like i'm really i do love
Starting point is 01:30:20 playing hoops but it's like you know another another part of your mortality is just like fucking i have i told myself i have to lose like a hundred pounds to play basketball again I do love playing hoops, but it's like, you know, another part of your mortality is just like fucking – I told myself I have to lose like 100 pounds to play basketball again because my fucking joints will – Absolutely. The bottom of my foot exploded. That's the last time I tried to play basketball. No, that's not just like – that wasn't just by chance. That was like physics.
Starting point is 01:30:38 It was tough. It was tough. I have a rule. I don't leave the ground anymore. I don't jump off of things. I don't run anymore. I mean I see people who are my age and in shape who who are like i blew out of this i tore that yeah like me so get it dude yeah although i will part of what i'm excited about is like getting into the
Starting point is 01:30:56 fucking dojo and just like my like just like fucking working out and just like there is because that's fun too like part of like what we're talking about earlier is like getting good at something's fun but when you make progress it just feels good like even like lifting weights like because like the fucking the road life is just ridiculous just like you know i'm fucked up all the time i'm eating like shit yeah just like you know you can't you're all constantly on planes just like it's so bad for your fucking body right so just like feeling like an okay human being is just like and maybe being being able to like – maybe I'll shoot some free throws. Maybe I'll go –
Starting point is 01:31:31 Do something like – yeah, just shoot a jumper. Because I do love – dude, like it's so funny how much of your life when you're a fucking kid is sports. Like everything. Everything. Everything you talk about. You do it. You dream about it. All I watch, all I talk about, all I think about.
Starting point is 01:31:44 I know every player, every stat, everything. Now it's like but also it's like all I watch, all I talk about, all I think about, I know every player, every stat, everything. Now it's like... And it's completely gone, right? It's like now your fucking life is just gone, which is it's too extreme, right? To completely miss it. And there's something almost just therapeutic about that shit. You know what? Danny
Starting point is 01:31:59 Lopriori had a good idea on his new podcast. He called it the catch club. Okay. Where it's just, you meet up with a guy who wants to have a catch. We're not going to play softball. It's not going to be a full team. It's just like, I got a glove and a ball.
Starting point is 01:32:13 You got a glove and a ball. We'll meet. I guess I haven't thought about the logistics of how weird it is to meet a stranger in a fucking. Grinder. Sounds great. Like, meet me in the back alley and we'll play the balls.
Starting point is 01:32:24 Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like, that's kind of what I want to do is like, just have a catch. But then I was also like,
Starting point is 01:32:29 why don't I just ask my friends then? Like, why don't we just go have a catch? We wouldn't do that. But if there was an app and a thing and people wanted to do it, I'd be like,
Starting point is 01:32:35 all right, I can do this. But that's the kind of, that's like shooting free throws. It's like, I just want to do something tangentially related to what I used to play.
Starting point is 01:32:43 free throws is too much because you've got to chase the ball. You've got to get the ball. You've got to bend down. You've got to pick it up. The only thing is to have one of those rebounds. The ones sports I used to play. You gotta chase the ball. You gotta bend down. The thing is to have one of those rebounds. The ones that pop out to you? That's awesome, dude. That's the shit right there. I had a girlfriend who I took home
Starting point is 01:32:56 the first time she ever met my family was Easter five years ago. Something like that. And during Easter my brother was like, do you want to go have a catch? And it's not something he asked me. It's not something we do. And during Easter, my brother was like, do you want to go have a catch? And that's not something he asked me. It's not something we do. And I was like, yeah, I do. So we went outside, and we were just throwing the ball
Starting point is 01:33:10 back and forth for like an hour and a half. Your arm never worked again after that, I bet. And she was just like, she came out, and she was like, what are you doing? Oh, you just left her. You left her inside and defend for herself. Wow, that's hilarious. You should have come out here now to catch this, bitch.
Starting point is 01:33:26 I don't know if it's your fault. I've been inside with your family for an hour and a half. That's brutal, dude. Just making her make small talk with your aunts while you're just fucking tossing. You're like trying to get a good spiral going. That's the most disrespectful thing.
Starting point is 01:33:41 I'm trying to get a curve for the first time. I'm going to get a 12 to 6 going. I'm shocked she didn't just get an Uber and leave. Leave? Yeah. No, she's from Jersey. We were in Massachusetts. Okay, okay.
Starting point is 01:33:51 That is honestly. You can go anywhere. That's the most disrespectful thing I've ever heard. Someone doing a relationship. I just got lost in the catch. In the catch, man. Intoxicating. Yeah, that back and forth just lulls you, man.
Starting point is 01:34:03 Yeah, but then, I mean, of course, I was saying, I was like, I'll do this with you, Danny. And then in four minutes, I'll be like, eh. Of course. Oh, my shoulder's so fucked. I can't. I mean, I'd have to throw a sidearm. I can't throw a... Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:13 Done, dude. Absolutely done at this point. You used to work for the Knicks or MSG? I did, yeah. So Sam Moreau, my buddy Sam, he was hosting a show called people talking sports and um it was such a fucking shoestring operation that they brought me into guests on a couple and i just had i never left i just like yeah i just was like i just showed that i was good at it and i was just like and the whole writing staff was like it was sam anthony devito another hilarious comic uh and me
Starting point is 01:34:41 and we we were on the show and we wrote the the show, and it was four shows a week. So it was like topical jokes, and it was really fun because it was just like you're making a TV show with your friends, but everything people say about the Knicks as a basketball organization extends to their media brand for sure. It was like we't making dog shit money for literally being three guys who wrote
Starting point is 01:35:07 an entire TV show that's a lot of work for I'm sure very little money and very little prestige yeah exactly it was like
Starting point is 01:35:14 I think we were nominated for a local Emmy which is hilarious everybody wins Emmys but it's like no one gives a fuck it was you know
Starting point is 01:35:22 and they edited the shit out of it and it's like it's a comedy show. It's like you can't have guys who do like – who make like rangers highlights like edit your comedy show. They're not going to understand the nuance. I mean some of these jokes, the way they edited it was like what the fuck are you guys doing? You lost the entire joke. You took the whole thing out.
Starting point is 01:35:40 And they were – and it was like – oh, me. I mean they would – they like – they would just – they would be would be they would say such they give such hilarious notes where it was like they hired three comedians they were like a little too many jokes let's focus on the sports it's like then fucking bring wally zerbiak what the fuck am i doing what do you ask what do you want me to say about the fucking like i can say it but it's like the but it was cool because we did get to meet a shit ton of like, awesome, like, you know,
Starting point is 01:36:06 Serbiak being one of them. I love Wally. Are you a Wizards fan? No, I mean, Baltimore and DC, it's just like, it's just too different.
Starting point is 01:36:12 You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't, I can't do that. Do you have a team then? I grew up just kind of
Starting point is 01:36:17 like a free agent, you know, just like I would follow different teams. I was a Big Kings, you know, the Vladi Kings, Seven Seconds or Less Sons
Starting point is 01:36:25 I weirdly really like the Clipper like the Lob City yeah not Lob City the fucking you know
Starting point is 01:36:32 D. Miles Clipper just like I just like those they sucked but they were just so fun they were awesome they were the one bad team that had my heart
Starting point is 01:36:39 but it's like and then once you know once Giannis came into the league he's my number one I mean he's gotta be like an icon back home right it's like – and then once Giannis came into the league, he's my number one. I mean he's got to be like an icon back home, right? It's unbelievable. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:56 The stories that they told about him too were like he was sending all his money back home. Like there was some – I don't know if it was public or not, but there was – Oh, yeah, yeah. He had to catch a ride. He was running alongside. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Running to the stadium. Because he fucking wired all his money. No, he's the king.
Starting point is 01:37:05 And it's great to fucking see a bunch of dumb racist Greeks have to really be like, I'm in for a black guy. All right. Okay. All right. I guess you guys are right. They deserve basic human respect.
Starting point is 01:37:19 And it's just so fucking funny to just see these fucking assholes. And then the ones that are too raced through for them, I love it because it's like, we have the best basketball player in the world. And you fucking idiots think like he's not – you think you're superior to him. Look at this man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's no Brian Scalabria. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:37:39 Just some fat racist. Some guy shaped exactly like me, honest. Somebody looks exactly like me saying that he's, you know, like a distant cousin somewhere being like, nah. Not him,
Starting point is 01:37:50 he's not the one. We're a group real great, you know what I mean? Like, just bullshit. So, but no,
Starting point is 01:37:56 Giannis is the fucking best and, and you know, when I moved here, I was like, fuck it, I don't have a
Starting point is 01:38:02 hometown team. Like, if Baltimore, my dream of dreams that will never happen is Baltimore getting an NBA franchise. Just won't happen. The Wizards barely fucking fill their arena. Baltimore loves the Ravens.
Starting point is 01:38:13 We love the Orioles, all that kind of shit. There's no way we're going to be a three-sport team in our region, a three-sport city, but that would be my dream. But so I figured, like, I'm moving here. I love New York. I don't really want to go anywhere you know in perpetuity so it's like so when i got here and i got here the porzingis year that's what and i was like things are on the up you thought and i was like you know
Starting point is 01:38:33 what fuck it i'm i'm this is like my and that is still how i feel where it's like the knicks are my like like yannis is just i'll follow him where you know until the end of his career he's my number one but it's like i do – I follow the Knicks. I watch a lot of Knicks games. I want them to win. But it's been fucking brutal. Sam doesn't turn you off to that? No, I love – I mean it is tough because he's so out of his mind.
Starting point is 01:38:57 And we also do a basketball podcast, which is like – it's been tough because we've both luckily been really busy. And Sam's like taking a little time off it. But we do a podcast called Pod Don't Lie that's really fun. And I am a Knicks fan, but it's like he is so deranged that it forces me to have to bust his balls. You get a lifelong New York City Jew who likes the Knicks, and they are not going to see it.
Starting point is 01:39:21 I mean, they are blinded, man. We're one piece away, man. We're going to get Jerry Rose back. We're going to win the title. Julius just needs a little help. It's like, come on, man. I mean, we crowned Kevin Knox. We crowned Mitchell Robinson.
Starting point is 01:39:36 We crowned everybody. These guys all stink. I mean, they're okay players, but in the NBA, you need Hall of Famers to play in order to win. I do think RJ's going to be good, and I think he's been a late starter. He's kind of a late to get going. He's a second-half player, which honestly, that happens a lot with young guys that end up being pretty good. I mean, the Nuggets were a real fucking second-half team for Jokic. I mean, part of that, I think, is playing yourself into shape and shit.
Starting point is 01:40:06 But I believe in RJ. I think he's a good pick and shit. No, he is. But it's just like, you know, I was a diehard Knicks fan when I was growing up. And then that 15 years of futility turned me off. And so now I'm casually watching. And I think the diehard fans are too in it where i'm i was kind of like i don't think julius randall's worth max money guys and they're like we talked
Starting point is 01:40:29 about 25 and 12 and i was like we'll see and then like you see what happens you need like a pure fucking megastar to turn this shit around and it's not going to be julius randall i think that year was actually bad in the long run it was at the time a bit of false hope at the time i was saying that but it was i will say that was little bit of false hope. At the time, I was saying that. But it was, I will say, that was a really fun year of podcasting with Sam because it was like, every week I was like, bro, it's going to fucking fall apart.
Starting point is 01:40:51 Relax. And he was right. And I saw him enjoy it and I saw what it meant to him. And I actually went to the game when the Hawks, the one game the Knicks won, where the Hawks, honestly, I was there.
Starting point is 01:41:03 The Hawks just kind of fucking went cold. But it was still fucking exhilarating to be an MSG. I mean, when the garden is popping, dude. The Knicks won where the Hawks – honestly, I was there. The Hawks just kind of fucking went cold. But it was still fucking exhilarating to be an MSG. I mean when the garden is popping, dude, it is the best. It was a fucking great feeling. I mean everyone went crazy with Bing Bong and now it became Ping Pong. That was the problem. The problem is you get – it's passionate, but they get so hot so quick that when they fall, you're the butt of like every NBA joke. But it's like I'd rather have a passionate
Starting point is 01:41:25 fan base than that. That's why someone along the way, eventually, is going to take on the challenge. If I was a guy like Giannis, I'd be like, I've done it in Milwaukee. I'm already done what I need to do. Let me go take on the biggest challenge because if I do it, I will be an immortal.
Starting point is 01:41:42 But it takes somebody who's a little bit awesome and a little bit crazy to want to subject themselves to that. I also think it's like what we were talking about, about just the way you want to live your life and being happy and shit. I also think the problem is with this fuck... I mean, like I said, I was an
Starting point is 01:41:57 MSG employee. I saw the culture around there. That's not a fucking organization you want to be a part of. That's why until Dolan goes, it's not even. And it's like, dude, these motherfuckers have to go to
Starting point is 01:42:07 Westchester to fucking put up threes. Are you kidding me? Right, that's crazy. It's like, no one's gonna,
Starting point is 01:42:12 yeah, they don't have a fucking facility in Manhattan. What? Just that is crazy. I remember, I used to go to,
Starting point is 01:42:18 I used to go to bars up on, there's a place called White Plains, there's like a strip of bars and it was Channinganning fry and um david lee were like at the same bar as me because they practiced down the block don't get me wrong they were so they were so disrespectful to the place they were throwing limes at party
Starting point is 01:42:36 over here honey like they own the joint because but it was like yeah if i'm with you yeah there's a problem we got a real big issue right and so sometimes I think, imagine if Balmer owned the Knicks. It would be the best team. The Mets just did it with Colwyn. Exactly. You get a baller who was willing to take a bath to just fucking get them good again. And it can change like that. And by the way, it's like, what the fuck are you a billionaire for, Andy?
Starting point is 01:43:02 If you're not going to. Like, come on. It's always the son it's always spend all your money yeah exactly try it on Francisco Lindor try it on a bunch of guys
Starting point is 01:43:10 exactly but it's always the son who inherits the father's work that Wilpons did it with the Mets Dolan's doing it with the Knicks and I bet you in all walks of life
Starting point is 01:43:19 it's the guy who like never worked for it who just gets it who's like what do you mean and it's just let just stay out of it or fucking sell it Kendall Roy he's a bunch of Kendall Roy yes that's like what do you mean and it's just let just stay out of it or fucking sell it Kendall Roy
