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!
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.
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
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
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
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
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
speed down or something,
right?
Whatever, but yeah.
I'm sure it's bullshit.
Yeah.
And then there were
occasionally people
cutting through it.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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...
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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%.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
slash KFC, and you get
$10 for a monthly plan.
You get $10 off the swipes.
So you go to GetRoman.com slash KFC to get $10 off your swipes
when you choose a monthly plan.
Get Roman, get longer sex.
Oh, I sat on my nuts.
Am I the asshole today?
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

ever heard.
KFC fights
Nick, Jackie, Pav
Suck
Suck
The worst time of the day is 3
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
have a real
podcast?
Yo.
We should do
South African
style.
One judge.
Is that what
they do?
Two judges in
South Africa?
They should do
a couple judges.
Like a mini
Supreme Court.
Bro, my mom
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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...
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Because that was right around civil rights our interview today with stavi baby stavros from come town uh stavros alchias is brought to you by
movement watches the american watchmaker that sells watches and sunglasses and other accessories
they have the quality look of these watches and these accessories that cost like $1,000.
Except they all do it at a fraction of the cost.
Watches start at just $95.
They don't go any higher than $135.
They've got sunglasses for like $50.
They have minimalist jewelry.
They've got blue light glasses.
And all sorts of other style essentials that don't break the bank.

God, you are a sexy individual.
It just works, you know?
I got a theory about it.
I love it.
Let's talk about it.
Yeah.
Let's get into it.
Well, I mean, it's a great shirt, too.
I'm skinny fat.
Yes.
And I genuinely think it's better to be.
Oh, I'd love.
Yeah, I've thought about this big time
hop on this mic here
guys like you I think look better than guys like me
yes I would agree
fuck
you're right
just me versus you
yeah I do think you're better off being fat as hell
but you gotta be a specific kind of fat yeah that's what I mean but you're better off being fat as hell, but you got to be a specific kind of fat.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
But you're like round, right?
And filled out.
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.
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
and you know what
the worst part is
is usually
you know
at least like
skinnier people
are normally like
healthier at least
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
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
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.
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?
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
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-
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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?
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.
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...
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
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?
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
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
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
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.
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...
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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,
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,
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,
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
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
the advantage of doing something
where it's like
people just
you know
like
this existing
right
like you guys ending up
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
You know what I mean?
People turned us off 45 minutes ago.
yeah,
yeah,
yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
Oh, we started?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Yes.
Levity live,
which is a great club.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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
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?
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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 –
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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
I weirdly really like
the Clipper
like the
Lob City
yeah
not Lob City
the fucking
you know
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
he's not the one.
We're a group
real great,
you know what I mean?
Like,
just bullshit.
So,
but no,
Giannis is the
fucking best
and,
and you know,
when I moved here,
I was like,
fuck it,
I don't have a
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
Westchester
to fucking
put up threes.
Are you kidding me?
Right,
that's crazy.
It's like,
no one's gonna,
yeah,
they don't have
a fucking facility
in Manhattan.
What?
Just that is crazy.
I remember,
I used to go to,
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
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?
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
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
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
is a bunch of Kendall Roy
yes that's exactly what it is
it really is
