right now look like grown up little rascal a big rascal Billy you got the curl going on the Superman girl he and his girl are going steady you just got back from the malt shop with your best gal yeah uh no i just this is the first time i haven't worn a hat in a podcast in like the past since you guys left so your hair is also it's also combed and i've never seen your hair combed before yeah You got gel in there. I took a shower. Are you doing another podcast behind her back, Billy?

Are you cheating on us? So I'm looking all nice for another podcast. Dan Bongino show and spouting off takes that you feel like you can't say here, Billy? Yeah, maybe. No, I just comb my hair. I showered. I worked out before this and I showered and then I just came straight to my recording studio. That's your living room.

Well, no, it's actually my gym office combo. Which is also your living room, I think. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, welcome back to the show, guys. A little behind the scenes action here. We're just getting ready for an interview. We had an interview with an astronaut.

A real live astronaut wanted to come on macrodosing. And so we were in the waiting room of the Zoom, just anticipating him joining. And we're just, you know, talking, talk about how interesting this guy's life is, how we're excited to interview him. And then Billy goes, can I ask him if he's ever jacked off? off in space and we're like no no no bill maybe maybe not in those terms and he's like maybe i'll just try to like sneak it in it's like that's not a question that you can sneak in billy uh and then after after being on hold for about 10 minutes we found out that he mysteriously cannot make the interview any while his his his PR person was also logged in and listening to the entire

interview chat so billy might have just cost us that guess there to be fair to billy that should have been set up front. Yeah. There was somebody in the chat. Yes. Maybe when they let her in, they should be like, hey, we're letting in his publicist. Now, what is different? He can see who's on the Zoom, right?

Okay, so that's kind of also on you. Like, I can't see who's in it because we just have the TV screen. But if you, but also I do think that should have been said like, hey, just a heads up. PR person's coming in. Don't say anything stupid. I'm also locally recording and I have my camera. pinned for the Zoom, so I can't really see it. I can, but it's like really small. Bill, you've been podcasting for what now? Four years? Okay. You know, it's, uh, I always, I always just

act like that person is listening in when we get ready for, especially if it's like five minutes after the interview was supposed to start. But it's fine. It was a funny moment. In my defense, you were prompting me. Like, did you do a lot of research on this? And I was like, yeah, like, these are some of my questions I want to ask. That's my fault. Well, as if no one was here. I basically was asking you to ask about jacking off in space because I asked you if you did any research on it beforehand. Yes. I have so many questions in a bank for astronauts that I've been thinking of because I just, like, I've always wanted to speak to an astronaut before. So did you do research on the guy or you had questions about jerking off in space prior to?

Where did he go to college? He was an engineer at a college that he actually helped, well, we got to keep anonymous. That's crazy, bro. Oh, that's actually true, but I know where it was. I actually don't think that's the reason why they had to postpone the interview. I think that something came up with him. But it is a possibility. It's a million percent of possibility.

Man, spent his entire life studying. He's grinding it out. All the astrophysics he had to learn. And he hops on his Zoom. He's like, oh, no asking me if he jacks up in space. I mean, be honest. You would jack off in space, right? Yeah, of course.

Dude, if, and look, the only thing fueling all that studying and wanting to get to space is like, I want to know what it's like in space. I want to know what zero gravity is like. And if you were up there for long, long, ass times and you get all your space work done, you have a lot of free time to just like see cool shit in space. Like, dashnotts are all fucking around up there. Actually, they have strict policies about not having sex in space. I don't know if they follow it, but they're like strict policies about. because they don't want to get anybody pregnant because of low gravity and all that shit. I would jack off to like the sight of the moon.

I would look at the window and admire the celestial bodies and it would just be so beautiful. Beating off to inanimate objects, man. Yeah, jack off to the sun, jack off to Venus. Venus is hot. Yeah. This is a good looking planet. Planet of love. Damn, you look at that red spot on Jupiter, fellas.

How many beers? All right, hottest planets, top three. Good question. I'm going to go Venus number one. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. But Mars,

Mars has a very sexy vibe about it. Red. That's kind of sus, big tea. Men are from Mars. Women are from Venus. I'm just, I'm thinking in terms of your brain.

I think this is nonsense. No, Mars isn't sexy. How is Mars sexy? It's red. It's, you see a woman in a nice red dress, you know?

I'm talking Saturn's got some BDE. I'm just saying. She's married. Yeah. I think Married women, Billy I think number one Number one for me is Venus

Number two is Jupiter Jupiter is a pog Big time And then Three I mean I like Earth Am I allowed to say I like Earth?

You're such a simp for Earth Every time this comes up You love this goddamn planet Trash That's like asking a guy like Nate who's your top five hottest chicks in the world Is like well number one's my wife

that's you that's you with earth I would say Uranus is pretty hot sick it is no

uranus I mean yeah good looking planet and then I'm going to go Neptune Neptune is actually

probably the prettiest look of planet is blue and shit I'm a freak for Pluto it's not a planet still planet

to me hate to be that guy so dwarf planet that's kind of some freaky shit Billing it's forbidden it's like forbidden it's like oh Pluto's not a planet like you can't you can't talk about Pluto but I'm like yeah Pluto Pluto is the size of like anal beads I could fit Pluto up

my butt okay no right how was everybody's weekend uh it was a good weekend terrible I had to agree yeah damn I spoke that shit into existence huh yeah I have a bone to pick with you it's fucked up so they should have worn on paper dog that's that shit's crazy here's here's the thing like I follow Tennessee football way more closely than Narian, right? That's fine. But this is a game that, like, you played there, oh, and two, as has everyone who's played there since 2004 hasn't won there. You know that we don't win this game.

And you were like, yeah, they're going to kick their ass easy. They should have. They should. Like, I watched Florida against Utah, I'm like, yo, this team stinks. They do stink. They suck. And, like, there's no way to. Tennessee should have lost that game.

They just, they just choked it off, man. I don't know what to say. That's why you play. That's why you play between the lines. I'm not on the paper, though. I wore Tennessee polo out and just got relentlessly chirped. Big T, you should ban Billy from wearing Tennessee merchandise. What was the thought?

Was this like before the game started? I put on a Tennessee polo and I was like, I'm going to watch the Tennessee game. I'm hyped. I like to think as a Northeaster, you don't usually like have a lead. to a college football team, but I thought because of this podcast, it was fine to be a Tennessee fan, showed up. They, they didn't and just got literally booed at the bar, and it was, it was terrible. Who was booing? Like, who cared? Other bros? That's a weird reaction, like, in a bar in New York, like, unless it was Florida fans.

No, they're just like, what the fuck, dude? I felt responsible. So now I know what it's like to hold the, just like deal with having Tennessee on your back. You can't have Billy. Billy's a loser. All Billy's teams are losers. Hey, yo, please.

No, the water dogs. Cut that out and just have that shit on loop. That's hilarious. Billy's teams always lose, all of them. The water dogs are in the championship. Well, yeah, but that's different. That's my team. It's not like a four-team league.

No. No, there's more. I think there's eight teams Okay, six So this is the Celtics titles in the 40s Well, we're returning champions too Awesome With dynasty

The talent is also much more concentrated So it's harder to win So big T, you don't count Bill Russell's rings Uh, they're different There's something to be said For being the best amongst who you played with But they are different I'm with you though

I get shit about that all the time But 1975 is when I start 70s is when sports start counting. I agree. I agree. Big T, can you just walk us through what your Saturday was like

and were you ever optimistic about it or from the kickoff? Was it just dread? I was pessimistic most of the week and then Saturday rolled around. I was, we're going to, they suck. Like, we're going to beat their ass.

And then the first drive, we were awesome. And then the play that you've probably seen on social media happened, the drive after where Florida had a run up the middle that should have been seven or eight yards and Kamal Haddon just like his controller died and he decided like instead of tackling I'm just going to like lean into the guy and then it turned into a 60 yard touchdown and then after that the

vibes were very very off and uh you know lost happens yeah it does does so at the start of the year you predicted how many wins guaranteed I honestly don't remember probably nine I think I think it was nine. I think he said 10. So where are we at now? I could be wrong. Ask me after South Carolina, which is this week we play UTSA. If they lose either one of the next two games, we're in very big trouble. I don't think Tennessee would ever lose to South Carolina.

That would never happen. All right. Stop. So if they can beat South Carolina, then things can look up. If they lose that game, we're in bad, bad shape. And where are we at with Joe, Pazooka Joe? Joe was not good, and I don't think he is very good. But on the list of problems, he's third or fourth.

Like the offensive line is atrocious. The offense just doesn't go with the speed that it did last year, which, and the play calling has been very vanilla, which I find really interesting. I don't know if it's because they don't trust Joe or what, but like it literally like the speed of the offense is much slower which makes it much more easy to defend uh so he's he has not been great but like is he is he awesome probably not could he be serviceable if we fix seven other things yeah probably i think that's a fair fair statement it's kind of like the jets with zach wilson zach wilson wasn't the reason why they necessarily lost

that is true but he wasn't he wasn't that's absolutely true wasn't very good either. Well, he made some great throws. There was some throws he made that they were either dropped or, you know, the one I'm thinking is Luzard stepping out of bounds where he literally spun out, avoided Micah Parsons, who was just barren down on him and through an absolute dine 60 yards down the field that Adam Lazzard caught, but he didn't have his feet in bounds. Yeah, he also, he also sucked ass in the fourth quarter.

Yeah, because he's trying to make plays. Like, if you saw his last two picks were more. trying to make a play than, you know, like, I don't count those as bad picks. His first one was bad. But like, he's balling out there. And did you see the rush he was playing up against? Yeah. And he was also the leading rusher on the Jets.

He had the most running yards. That's very sad. Bruce Hall, like Nathaniel Hackett should, you know, I might go to New Jersey and shave off his fucking goate if he doesn't, you know, start getting something together where we can have Zach succeed. I mean, the offensive line play is weak, but I think the Dallas Cowboys rush is probably one of the best of the league. Yeah. I want to go to a tweet that you had yesterday, Billy.

You said, I don't think there has been a team in history that has had more hype and underdelivered than this current Jets team. This is the, I think you should leave Meme. We're all trying to figure out who did this. Billy's trying to figure out who hyped up this Jets team before the season started. It was you. It was me. It was me. You hyped it up.

You're addressing this. to yourself. Yeah. But the thing is, that's when I was down. Then I went back and watched the tape this morning. Every Monday, I watch every offensive rep by the Jets. Defense, I don't really have to worry about. Yeah, they had a lot of points scored on them.

Their defense sucked yesterday, Billy. I know they had negative two fancy points, but I only had time to write one blog before this and watch all the tape. Yeah, I wouldn't say, like, that's what would be concerned. to me is that your defense stinks yeah but the thing is i'm now on the upswing on them hope wise because i watch zach wilson throw a couple dimes get absolutely you know pressured out the wazoo and then have to go off platform and causing him to throw a lot of his picks but he also made a lot of plays on those rollouts too so when you're using fancy words you're using fancy like descriptors

like off platform that caused him to throw a lot of picks where you're just meaning is you made him physically take a couple of steps and then that screwed up his entire throwing motion and then he threw boneheaded picks anyway moving on but the Patriots even though like on paper the Jets should be competitive against the Patriots on paper and seeing the Patriots last night they're ass like they did have some stuff at the end of the game but they were beaten throughout do you think that the you'd rather be a Jets fan right now than a Patriots fan Yeah, because I think if our Jets, our Jets defense show up like they did against Buffalo, and we, you know, a week of watching tape of Zach Wilson in the offensive line, hopefully trying to get marginally better and not having Micah Parsons blitzing every down, we might have, you know, a copus-mentus team when they play New England next weekend. What does Copus Mintus mean?

Like, ready, willing, and able. okay all right copus mintus like not crazy not like stupid so prepared yeah you'll have a prepared team capable okay and uh zach wilson we're going to stay with zach are we bringing in we bring another option because if you look at it anybody behind that offensive line someone less mobile because there's no one with the mobility of zach wilson who's available anyone who is less mobile would have been mincemeat in that game. Carson Wentz? Carson Wentz. Oh, here's another take I have. Josh

Allen is teetering, teetering on becoming Carson Wentz if he doesn't make some changes and get a little more disciplined. All right. What do you mean teetering? He is so far away from being Carson Wentz. Look. He does make

some dumb decisions sometimes because he's trying to make a play, but he is a better athlete than Carson Winz is. He's bigger than Carson Wentz. He's faster than Carson Wentz. I know. But the thing is, you know, and the guy who knows it is Diggs. Like, he needs to, if Josh Allen wants to make sure that this doesn't go sideways, like once again, week one against the Jets, he needs to stand in the pocket and, you know, play a little more conservative with the football.

He should go out there and win by double digits against a team that he should beat and throw forward. for a few touchdowns, is what you're saying. Yeah, but also, like, not too crazy shit. That literally all happened yesterday. I know, I know, but that was a weak team. Yeah. Well, I appreciate the fact that you're still delusional about Zach Wilson. I like that.

I like that. No, I watched the tape. He made some great plays. Never give up on a guy. But, like, literally, Dwayne Brown isn't in game shape. Our offensive line, McGovern, like, they need to get their shit together because, you know, If you had Zach Wilson clean for about 50% more plays than he was, it would be a way more competitive football game. All right.

So, Zach Wilson, we're going to try to ride it out, see what happens with him. Any other NFL takes that you have? Hmm. No. Okay. I noticed you didn't ask about the Falcons. They shout your failures and whisper your accomplishments. That's true.

Big T. Grats on your Falcons. Two and a note. They're good. You only care about the Falcons. Yeah, I've always said NFL guy. NFL way better than college football. Yeah, Falcons look good.

They're just playing old school football. Just running the ball right at your face. Bejohn is awesome. Arian stepped away for a second. I wanted to, there he's, he's back. I asked Arian if he'd watched Bejohn Robinson yet. You said you hadn't. He's amazing.

Yeah, I watched him in college. I knew he's going to be a really good runnerback in the NFL. Just has it, that it factor gets up feel really well, great balance. dude's going to be nice I saw that he had somebody in my fantasy team had him and my fantasy league had him so I think he went off last weekend

yeah he leads the NFL in rushing I believe yeah he's nice he's fast he's so fast he's got those fresh legs and my yeah Big T you're right my commanders are also 2 and O how about that? Yeah it feels good to be undefeated

feels really good now we do have the bills this weekend I don't let you know that was PI you didn't answer me in the group chat but that was PI no I did answer answer you. Did they call it? Did they call it? Well, then it's not PI. It was absolutely. No. You can't ask me. Yeah. My bad. This is soft, soft NFL. You want these, this tiki-tack nonsense.

No, what, I think if it's, if it's blatant like that, because what happened before that was so amazing, like, you got to like, you got to play this one straight up. Usually I'm like, let the players decide it, but that was, that was, that was PI. That was, that was bad. I disagree. Um, the most egregious, actually, there are too bad. bad hits this weekend. There was that one on Logan Thomas in the end zone where was it Kreme Jackson just launched himself at his face

and knocked him out. That was bad but maybe a worse hit was Colorado, Colorado State where Travis Hunter got hit in his abdomen. And I saw a report today that he has, I guess Skip Bayliss reported this, which is a shocker that Skip Bayliss is back doing journalism.

But according to Skip, he has a lacerated liver. Yeah, David's expected to be out. doc just confirmed for three to four weeks which i don't know i don't know what i don't know what the recovery on a lacerated liver is but it feels like it should be more than a month right your liver is pretty important as far as your body goes and probably pretty painful to get it get it lacerated but that was a dirty hit he took like four steps afterwards so it may have been like a grade one laceration or a grade two

There's multiple grades, but I think a grade one is probably what he had. But that number 11 on Colorado State was the same guy that got duped out in the last play of the game. So, Carmen got him. I haven't heard of this before, Brett. It says online that a lacerated liver usually takes two to four months to full yield. Yeah. And it can, it's basically internal bleeding. Like his liver should.

That's great. I haven't heard of that before. I mean, I've heard it even like car accidents. Yeah. I do it like shit, which I mean. It is, it is like a car accident injury. The end, like an internal organ getting ruptured like your spleen or your liver or, uh, there's also like an artery that goes down your spine. Oh, yeah.

And if that, uh, it's not for more for more until it gets your leg, but I forget what it's called. But, um, those types of injuries that happen once in a blue moon in football. And yeah, it's like, it's basically like you got hit by a car. That's fucked up. I do love a good liver shot knockout if I'm watching MMA though and you see a guy get punched and then he takes two steps backwards

before the pain hits and then you just get paralyzed because it's so painful and you crumble to the ground. Those are fun to watch but I mean this was this was just like such a dirty hit. It was disgusting but it sucks though

like as a football fan we're not going to get to see Travis Hunter I hope he's okay like as a person but also it's a bummer because he was so fun to watch and he's playing every position offense defense out there the entire game stinks that we're not going to be able to watch

them probably for their two biggest games Yeah for the two biggest games Maybe for the rest of the season I mean I don't know how bad it is but They seem Dion said three weeks So they seem to think he's coming back Dion said three weeks

This This happens a lot to spleen In high school with kids who have mono And don't know Because it swells up They lacerate their spleans but yeah the number 11 guy I wouldn't be surprised if their head coach told him to just try to take Hunter out

that'd be dirty though Mike Norvel Jay Norvel I always confused the two of them Mike Norvel is at Florida State correct how did the handshake go because I left they was chopping it up like it looked like they were saying something to each other but you can't read tell it they were saying not like talking shit though and Shadur Sanders was right there too

and he did his I guess now patented kind of flashed his watch at the Colorado State coach showed him the time yeah he's done that several times now I guess it's kind of his move I don't like that move Does he wear it while he plays

I don't think so but he must have put it on like right when the game ended maybe I uh I saw the post game handshake what I think happened was that Norville was like a all respect for you in your program and what you've built

things to get twisted in the media didn't mean to come across that way I respect what you're doing and then Dion was like thank you for respecting me and then that was the end of that conversation as an amateur lip reader that's what I thought I saw I'd have been talking long shit

fuck out of here yeah he said goofy shit He would say he was like, uh, my mother taught me better than to wear glasses during the press. Because shut up. Yeah. He used to sound like a hate. You just hate big hater vibes from, from that type.

You can pull your pants up type guy. That's what he is. He's like, my mother, my mother taught me that when you're speaking to adults, you take your glasses and your hat off. Yeah. And then, you know, brings his mom to the pregames. Yeah. He's so extra break. He's so funny.

He's so funny. And, well, to Nerville's credit, he almost backed it up. Like, the team, Colorado State should have beaten Colorado. It was a crazy comeback at the end. But if he had backed it up, then it's like, oh, what are you going to do? He gave you all the bulletin board material that you needed. You still couldn't beat him. That was, it was an awesome game, though.

It's just, this is going to be an interesting season because he's looking at Lowell Wayne. So, we're talking a Grammy winning, like, one of the greatest, Artists are our generation performing at a college game. But Leon's different, though. You let them out of the tunnel. That would have said. Like, it's just, they got Hall of Famers on the sidelines. Like, you just go into Colorado State just, bro.

You have no chance. Like, it's tough, man. They're going to have, like, Beyonce running Ralphie the Buffalo out at some point. At this point, though. I mean, you don't get much, this is a little way. Like, I know we don't. that this is one of the greatest artists of our generation does randomly at a Colorado, Colorado State game.

Did you guys see Kodak Black in the locker room of FAU? No. It was so funny. The coach was like giving his like pregame speech in Kodak Black was just like not chirping, but he was like doing ad libs to the coach's speech and just sort of messing up the coach. And he's like supposed to be there like support the team. But I just like the whole time I was like, oh my God, this coach. wants to yell at Kodak Black so badly

because it was like a kid just like trying to cause trouble on the football team but it's one of the funniest clips ever and then he leads them out but I could just tell that that coach the whole time was like I know this is good for recruiting but this guy better stop interrupting my free game speech I just went and found it

because I remembered I wrote a blog last September when Georgia Tech fired Jeff Collins their old coach that they should try to hire Deion because, so look at what he's done at Colorado. If he was in Atlanta, that program, like, Colorado is the hottest program in the country right now. He could have done that. They've taken all the players he took to Colorado to Georgia Tech.

And like in the epicenter of like hip hop and all that stuff, that he would have, it would have been unreal. That's a black mecca right there. Yes, where he played, like, that would have been incredible. But he's done it in Boulder. Colorado which is a fire I mean Colorado is amazing place

but like you gotta go out of your way to go there yeah it is awesome but I love Boulder it's crazy they're all is there a Boulder airport yeah probably yeah I would imagine that they've got an airport it's not far from Denver either yeah I actually

I just go into Denver yeah it might have like a private airport I'm sure it does like college campuses would we know Denver's got an airport yeah yeah No, I was just saying all these celebrities going to the Denver airport, going to Colorado, for these games. Very interesting. What are you saying, Billy?

Dion went to Colorado, Denver Airport. Hmm. Little Wayne. Hmm. Mm-hmm. What's going on? What is going on, Billy? I don't know.

Okay. I'm just trying to connect Colorado football to the Denver airport. Nice. And they're very connected. Yeah. Hey, speaking of mysterious jets, we are on an APB right now. on F-35. We got a missing F-35 somewhere in the continental United States, perhaps, or maybe it's flown out to sea. It was just north of Charleston. They were doing a military exercise

and a pilot ejected leaving his F-35 lightning. I believe it was an F-35 lightning C. I'm seeing two. Two. It was okay. F-35 lightning two, presumably on autopilot and continuing its flight. Now, that's what they're saying. So they're asking for help. So if you're listening to this podcast right now and you see an F-35 flying by your window, please let us know, call us up, leave a voicemail, and let us know exactly where it's located. But apparently it's just gone AWOL. My thought, as a plane guy, if the pilot ejected from the flight, my guess is there was a reason why he ejected out of the aircraft.

And so the airplane was probably going to crash soon anyways. I don't think it's still flying anywhere. That's my guess because you don't hit the eject seat on a perfectly good, 35 because that's like I don't know 70 million dollars worth of plane uh yeah everybody's freaking out about losing an 80 million dollar plane like how do you do that we've given a hundred billion to ukraine what's an 80 million dollar plane there you go everybody's freaking out about this you should have been freaking out about the hundred billion yeah well everybody everybody's saying that it's in these lakes near charleston lake marian and lake

multery, but if they know it's there, they'd say it. Like, they still can't find it. Everyone, because I wrote a blog about it and everyone's like, oh, they know where it is. It's in the two lakes. And it's like, well, they don't because it's, it's not that hard to like look into a lake and see if there's a gigantic plane there. Fat Amy's drowned herself. Yeah, I think that, uh, this plane is probably long since crash. But it's, it's really strange behavior for the government to, like, publicly say, hey, can you help us track down this F-35? We had a little oopsie last night. And so it'd be nice if you guys just keep your eyes out for it. Let us know. Like, it's a lost dog. It could be in the ocean, I think, more realistically. Like, it just flew out to

the ocean like Batman at the end of dark night. Dark night rises. Yeah. Dark night rises. Yeah. I mean, it definitely still isn't flying because it was, it was probably going to crash. And that's why the pilot bailed out of it. So I don't know exactly where it went missing, but it could be in the ocean. It probably crashed somewhere and then hopefully they don't know where it is. And then one day, like 50 years from now, treasure hunter is going to find an F-35 lost at sea. I just hope it didn't fly to like Russia or like and they're going to reverse engineer it. That would be something.

How would they do that, Billy, if it flew to Russia? Were they like to put a giant net up in the sky? No, I'm just saying like, what if it was hacked or something? And they like ejected the pilot and they're just literally. like stealing the plane using computers like gone in 60 seconds but for planes yeah yeah i mean that of all the dumb things you've ever said that's probably the smartest i'm no you've said this multiple times so that uh but like it could have been hacked i don't know so the plane the range on the plane is like i think 1200 miles i was going to say about a thousand miles um so that's not

going to get you to Russia. But you could hack the plane, have it fly, intercept it with a big tanker aircraft, connect it, refuel it, keep it flying to Russia, and then boom, you've got an F-35. Yeah. I just hope it's not stolen. You know what I'm saying? Because isn't the F-35 the most advanced? It depends on what you mean by advanced.

The F-22 is a better plane, I think, but F-35 has, like, crazy electronic warfare. capabilities and it's stealth so it's got a small radar cross section but it can get it so what an you can have one f35 that's like flying not even engaged in the battle but it can be like locking up enemy airplanes for your for its own uh its own friends and be like attack this one shoot this one shoot this one basically acting like a giant eye in the sky and then and then playing chess with all the other airplanes that are out there so it's a pretty cool airplane but the f22 is is way more, like, crazy in advance and we won't even sell it to other countries. We'll sell the F-35 to you if you have enough money, but...

Oh, really? The F-22, it's like, no, that's just for us. That's our main bitch. I mean, it's so, it's so stealth that we can't, like, we can't even find this one. Like, it's not even on radar. Like, that's what's the craziest part about it? Like, there was no, like, what happens if we lose one of these? Like, shouldn't we put, like, a...

What if, like, this guy had a tile or an apple thing? that he left in it. It was the only way to locate it. Or left his phone on board. He's calling it. Call my phone real quick. Oh, dude, I left my phone. Can pilots bring their phones on board?

I don't think so, probably not. I know one of my buddies, I don't know if they can in F-35, but one of my buddies who's a pilot, he sends me Snapchat's from his plane. He goes, and he flexes on all of us. It's pretty cool. That is pretty cool.

So, Billy, what are they trying to distract us from? I don't know. The Mexican aliens? The Mexican aliens. From Congress. Holy shit, bro. What? The Mexican aliens?

The bodies. Did you see that in Mexican Congress? I see. I see. It took me a second. I know what you're talking about, but they're actually from Peru. Interesting. Oh, yeah, we talked about that last week.

I saw the nasty shit I've ever seen. This has nothing to what we're talking about. All right. So I'm driving, right? And we had a stop light. And, you know, you just look over and see who next to you. And it's this lady. It's the older lady. It's probably like 40, 50, something like that. I look over and she is fucking wrist deep in her nose picking this shit, right? And she pulls out her finger and just eats it, right? Wasn't done. Goes to the next nostril gets up in there. And I'm just like, my mouth wide open. I'm like, hey, yo, what the fuck? Just. Just. just unapologetically in her shit. But then, you know, and I've seen that before. I've seen people do that. I don't understand it. But this is not why I'm bringing this up.

She goes from one nose, notheral, to the next natural. And then there's something I have never seen in my life. If anybody has ever wore earrings, you know how fucking disgusting this is. She takes her earring, like twirls her fingers in the back of her air, and then just starts going to town on her fingers and just starts licking it. And I'm like, This is the nastiest shit I've ever. She is one step from eating shit.

That is disguise. I just never and just just at a stoplight. I was, I was flabbering. What? She's cleaning at her at her fingernails with her earring and then eating the junk. No, no, bro. No, bro.

She's taken like, I don't know if you all have a, I used to wear earrings, right? So like the, the, whatever, like, it's funky. Like, when you take out your earring, it's, like, it smells a whole. Like, everybody's earloves. It's nasty. She takes that like pus and just starts licking the pus from the back of her earring. I had never seen the nastiest shit. But like right after going wrist deep in her nostrils, she goes straight to the air.

And I'm like, y'all, this is the craziest nastiest shit I've ever seen in my life. I was, and like, I think she, I only went because she started going. I was just staring at her in shock and awe. I had never seen anything like this before. it fucked me up yo I didn't know it was the thing I didn't know there was your ears made pus I don't know if it's pus

I don't know what it is ladies y'all can back me up y'all wore earrings you know what I'm saying you know the like when you take your earrings out it's whatever reason it's like mass yeah I don't know what it is but it's like when you put it inside the earring hole and then you take it out there's just like it's almost like fuzz

yeah it's nasty did you look at her huh no she was so happy enjoying her meal. But I wouldn't have stopped. I told my daughter's though, she said, you should have honked. Yeah. Thousand percent should have honked.

Like, stop that. It was weird. I was just like, if she looked at me, I was, my face was just, my jaw was dropped. And I was like, hey, yo, what the fuck am I watching? It was wild, dog. So. So. Recourse meal.

Is there like a, is that a psychological condition for people that do shit like that? Has to be, bro. That just eat. Because, like, I'm sure you, y'all seen somebody eat their boogers before, right? Yeah, you've seen that, right? I don't know what that is, though. I've never had that inkling. Billy, you strike me as one of them cats, yo.

No, I don't. What? When you're a kid. See? You didn't eat your boogers as a kid? Never once have I pulled something out of my nose and ate it, bro. What are you talking? No.

I definitely, I definitely did. I would actually. Why would I lie? I'm 37 years old. Why would I lie to you all this five years? to try to be better than us. I, I am not better to you because you ate boogers, but it's weird as shit. I'm not better than you.

You're six years old. You get a booger. I, I ate it. And then somebody was like, that's gross. Don't do it again. I was like,

okay, I'm never going to do that again. I do think you're definitely in the minority if you're saying you've never done it. Yeah. Yeah. Because. Yeah. That's how you're supposed to build your immune system.

Okay. Well, now, see, no, no, For hundreds of thousands of years, nomads all across the land, you've been picking their noses, getting diseases. And this is how we adapt.

This is why COVID happened because we stopped eating our boogers. No, if you, the evolutionary reason, and I looked it up why monkeys do it, why, like, they do it is because. Like animals clean themselves. They, like, lick their own butts and stuff. But I don't think, I don't think lick in your own butt helps build your immune system. In your mucus, there's white blood cells. And when you have viruses, bacteria that go up your nose, they fight the viruses of bacteria. Hey, bro, listen.

And then when you eat them, you get low level exposure. Reverse engineer an argument for you being dusty. You eat it's disgusting, yeah. And you're trying to reverse it. This is why we do it. Fuck out of here. No, but it, so dusty little, you was a dusty little kid. You was the kid that used to like just wear the same socks.

two weeks in a row no no but like that's why it evolved because it exposes you to weaken germs and viruses that get killed in your mucus it's it's disgusting but there is a reason i've never ate my burgers i apologize i don't think i'm better than you because you did i just think it's it was it never appealed to me i never looked at my burger was like hmm wonder what that tastes like salty there are people that there was a google it there was a coach on the german soccer team a few years ago do you remember this guy big tea who got caught their old coach remember this he would pick and eat his boogers on the sideline he would also like put his hand down his pants scratch his asshole and like his balls and then bring it up and smell it real quick i think raffi on the

doll has done that also really that's i think that's that's probably the same type of mentality that you have you're eating your boogers or eating your your earring fuzz like you're in love with the smell of your own body. Yeah, that. Have you ever seen the video of the monkey scratching his ass and then smelling his finger and falling out of the drink and it smells so bad? That's an all-time internet video. Oh, you know what video I saw recently?

A bunch of monkeys at like a beach resort were drinking leftover alcoholic mixed drinks and then just getting hammered and that was hilarious. Yeah. What was that? There was also one where they, they were. eating that old fermented fruit on the ground i forget which one it was i forget even for animal it was but yeah seeing animals oh no i remember this it was from walking with beasts it was the like the prehistoric little horses that were eating and they got hammered

maybe i don't remember why i see it but yeah yeah it's nasty god bless that lady i hope she's doing okay Oh, she's getting her fixed, man, wherever she could. I feel like what does food taste like to her? You know what I'm saying? Like a nice steak and she's like, yeah, you know. I feel like I go back and forth on public shaming. Because I think if that lady, if like a video of her eating her,

licking her own earring, if that came out and she was forced to watch it, she would be so embarrassed that she would stop doing it. But then why do you do it if you're embarrassed of it? I don't know. I think that there's, like, a drive for her to, like, just eat her own body. Yeah, I mean, if she, if you get off of doing this, hey, do you think, you know what I was. I was just shocked because I didn't know that that was a desire. You know what I mean?

Like, boogers, I've seen it before. I don't, I don't understand it. But, like, yeah, do you, whatever deep thing. I've seen it's not going to stop me in my tracks. But that shit, I've never seen anybody take the shit out of an earring. It was just, that's just weird, though. I've never seen it In the non-poo-poo-poo-pee category

What would be the grossest thing For somebody to like Eat of their own If they were cleaning themselves up Stuck between your toes Oh yeah Oh god I'm gonna keep it a band bro

I think the ear I think the ear thing is probably the nats Because it actually stinks It actually smells And none of y'all have worn earrings before No No I can't imagine it's worse than toes

I promise you dog Go home tonight, go to your lady, and ask her what does the back of her earrings smell like? And she was like, yo, that's nasty. Yes, I agree. I'm telling you, though. It is one of the worst smells a human can make. Like, it's Loki why I stopped wearing earrings. It was just a nasty smell.

It also smells bad because it's like if you shower with them on, then you're like shampoo and stuff gets stuck in there. Does that clean it? No, it'll like get caught in there and then it'll just kind of like. What about what about ear wax I feel like ear wax Would be grosser to eat Yeah

I don't tell me Earwax You know because You need I clean it out You know what I'm saying It has nowhere near The smell

Like I'm telling you though Go go home to the shorty The night bro I promise you You'd be like Let me smell the back of your ear And she's gonna think you crazy But you smell that shit

Go smell your good Go smell your shorthy Earloves bro My grandma used always Tell me like Make sure you wash Behind the back of your ears That's probably where that came from

Yeah Yeah All right well I hope she's okay. I hope that lady's all right and thriving. Was she good-looking lady? I couldn't get past what she was doing. I don't even remember.

I was, I'm traumatized. How name a celebrity that she would have to be as hot as for you to be like, look past all that bad stuff. If, if, like, I mean, that's obviously not a one-off if she's doing it in a car. Right. No, we got to, that's a mental thing. We got to go seek help. something's wrong like we can't enjoy the same meal because in the back of my head I'm thinking like you're just going to like sneak off to the bathroom and like fucking eat nasty shit out of the corner

I don't know it's just weird though is it worse if she does it secretly or if she does it openly I think the secret of part is like the yeah then it's sneaking then you're doing it behind my back I'm saying I'm trying to help you yeah like if you were if you were dating off and he's rat Soma Hayak and then but Soma Hayak was just like eating her earring fuzz all the time openly in front of you I could get past that

in front of you or in front of other people in front of everyone if it was like an open thing if it was only alone in her car then you kiss her uh nah

nah I'd be willing to overlook the the fuzzy smell go home and smell your ladies earlob like why you think I'm bullshit this is the nastiest it's like

it's defecation and then earlobe oh man those are the two words You know, defecations obviously first But it's the next Nassiest thing that the human body produced I promise me, in my opinion

Huh It's nasty, bro I wonder how many people do weird shit in private That's just totally Ridiculous, but just no one knows Everybody There's like murderers in private Bro, like it's

This shit gets weird, though If you are You know how if your friend is a weird or not just take their phone and pretend like you're going through it just pretend I've done that shit before people freak the fuck out dog it's funny as hell though

uh breaking news the U.S. military has a missing jet hotline so oh let's share it so it's 843 963 600 well we can't call it because he can't identify planes you shut the fuck up

oh we'd be of no use I can identify I'm so good at identifying planes big t you'd see it you'd have no idea is that an f12 an f12 yeah is that a g there's something there's a g it's an f 35 i could identify what does f stand for fighter oh i was close i don't know i just made that up i'm pretty sure it is uh because then you've got like the b2 bomber which would be b for bomber yeah b52 strata fortress wait wait wait wait hold I don't know. B two bomber, so it's Bomber two bomber?

Yeah. That's fucking stupid. Who's name of planes? It's like when people say MLB baseball. Okay, so he's right. B for bomber, F for fighter. Yep. H for search and rescue.

So, yeah, if you've seen the plane, give the hotline a call, fuck, how cool would it be if it just just like flew past your house right now? The crazy thing is, since it doesn't hit anybody since it's so stealthy like it's hard we can't we couldn't track it it works against us a little bit no that thing definitely crashed that thing crashed probably like seconds after the pilot ejected i hope it landed in the ocean no one got hurt it's got to be so

funny or really kind of like the most stressful thing ever but funny to think about if you're a pilot that ejects out of an f35 and you're just like calmly calm calmly like floating down to earth and you're like oh my fucking god i just wrecked it an $80 million plane, but you're like just so peacefully drifting down in the wind. Yeah, you can't even enjoy the ride. Did you get fired? You probably get the military equivalent of fired for wrecking an F-35, unless it wasn't your fault, unless maybe it was like the ground cruise fault, something's up with a plane,

something outside your control. But yeah, if it's pilot error and you crash an $80 million airplane, yeah, you're probably going to be peeling potatoes for a while. you know the dudes that like hop out of their cars and like uh road rage stuff but they don't put their car in park yeah that's what i feel like it's like there's plain rage or like or like the guy who falls out of their own boat and their boats just going around the lake with no one in it could yeah i remember that one video bro of those it's like six six white folks in the boat and they just and they just hitting turbulence and they just keep

and it just and every every bump gets more and more intense until everybody on a boat just flips over yeah it's hilarious that's one of the funniest videos of all times though it is very good video the one dude I think the bald dude right that just like completely sideways doesn't even try to brace himself

I hope they're okay but it's a very I hope they're okay but that that video when it used to get set to like music like beat drops was so fucking funny that's a thousand percent auto fault I don't care that's that's all they fall slow down dogs what are you doing yeah and stay out of lake lanare always always oh my god somebody tagged me in a video the other day too

where they were doing shark looking or whatever the fuck it's called where they you in you in a cage shark looking oh page diving there you go and so they was doing that and uh shark got in that bitch and they was they was scrambling they was scared and he survived the shark was scared as shit they'd be scared but like hell no if you're doing that you want that to happen like that's no yeah no i mean that's a reasonable person who does not want to encounter a shark doesn't do that you want to encounter you want to encounter when i go shark looking i want to stay in my cage i want to have the the the shark outside my looking cage and i just want to observe the shark and i want the shark to swim around and maybe come close and maybe I'll think about reaching out and touching

it, but I won't actually do it. You're describing watching a video of a shark, which you could do right now. It's different. Different. I've never done it, but I assume it'd be, you don't want the shark to like be in the thunder down. I think you do. I think subconsciously even you do. Or you don't do that. A reasonable person doesn't do that. I'm agree. Aryan and I, we stay out of the water. There's nothing for me in the water. I'm not an aquatic being. Fuck out of here. Anything that happens to anybody in water is entirely your fault. You're on spearfishing?

What? I've not. Spear fishing is pretty fun. No, I don't, no, I don't, there's nothing. It's like hunting underwater. I'm not a hunter. Okay. Did you guys see the video of the beach great white sharks? Shabber.

I'm just trying to, I'm not a hunter. Yeah, those people were insane too. And the shark was like about to knock someone the fuck out. Oh, they're trying to pull him back. in the water like what do we do and the shark is turning around like trying to bite them and they're still trying to help the shark dude just that like honestly i'm all for saving the sharks because way too many of them get killed every day for shark fin soup or whatever but the shark that's near where people swim the great white shark let's not put that back in the water because what if

those guys like because they thought they're like helping a beach to whale type thing but it's not a whale it's a shark and if they had gotten that shark back in the water and attack someone in the shallows like that's like don't save that thing like that's the one that you stuff and put up on a bar as a mannequin in pinn yeah hit it in the nose and see if they really get hurt by getting hit in the nose pincer you would just beat it shit out of the shark just hit it in the nose a thousand times you just clobber it it's like it came into our hood we got to we got beat the shit out of this guy herb stomped the great white shark um Yeah, I'm watching the video right now.

Dudes in Pensacola, Florida, dragging a great white shark back into the ocean. These guys are idiots. Goofy. Goofy. This seems like a very Australian thing to do. I'm just saying it's kind of legendary. Yeah, so I could definitely see Billy doing this. If you happen to be on the beach and a great white shark beach itself, you would get into like Billy the explorer mode where you'd be like, no, we have to return it to its natural.

You'd start talking with like the Steve Irwin accent. We have to type this beauty. Crocky, we've got to take this beauty back to her home. Look at it. She's struggling. She's gasping for air. No, I'd probably pull it farther onto the beach because you don't want that thing. Because imagine if you pulled it back in

and on your conscience, some little kid got eaten by a great white shark and you pulled it back in the water. That's just like assisted manslaughter. Yeah. No, it's not. Kind of is. How? I wouldn't live.

My conscience would be killing me if I pulled that shark back in and attacks. The Brandon Miller of that situation Yeah I'd rather pull that shark up onto shore and beat it to death And then get like the wildlife charge And then be like The funny thing is that like if you dragged a shark out of water You wouldn't have to then kick its ass for it to die

It's just gonna wait a wait a few minutes bro Billy just starts punching it If you're a real man you'd fight him underwater Yeah In his turf fucking coward But then he'd win We'll do a little shallow water work. Yeah, you don't drag the shark back in on like a swimmer's beach and send it back to the ocean.

Oh, my little buddy. You take pictures of it for the gram. You treat the shark like it's an escape fugitive in Pennsylvania. And you get all your boys around it and take pictures like you just capture it. That's what I want to see that photo so badly just to see the guy's face who's caught. Like, is he smiling? Is he posing? He's bleeding pretty bad from the face.

Yeah, he was not smiling. He was not happy. Damn. They should do a manhunt sim-like, you know what we're talking about the bank robbing simulator? Like for team bonding? They should do like a prison break simulator and just like you have to like escape a prison with your boys and then go on the run and then just have like a manhunt chasing you just to simulate the adrenaline rush. That would be fun. I could get behind that.

Yeah. But have it be like a prison where there's one way that you can escape and you have to find out what it is? yeah it's like an escape room but prison themed yeah and then also once you get out they chase you i like that i like that there's there needs to be more danger simulators um all right well anything else we want to get into today chicken wing diet oh yeah give us an update billy i'm thinking about taking on the chicken wing diet because the commanders have the buffalo bills this week so i'm thinking about eating nothing but chicken wings to to prepare my body getting ready for it i lost 10 pounds Yeah, but then the Jets lost, too, so it's not a good, if you watch your team.

Yeah, true, true. He wasn't playing the bills. We weren't playing the bills that week. So, Bill, you lost how many pounds? 10 pounds. I weighed in at 2.32 on Monday. Why do you have that scale? Why do you have a 1950 scale?

Because it was in the gym. I don't own a scale. Okay. So you're pushing the dial to the left, like, what the fuck? That scale is the only one that works. Like, really. That's the only scale you can trust. Definitely not true.

Why do you think you lost that much weight? Because I was only eating chicken wings. Basically, not only that, but also I was tracking my calories and I was burning 4,000 calories. No, that's probably has something to do with it. If you're burning 4,000 calories a day. But I do that normally. That's just like, like, you know. know, it was a great week last week. And so it was sunny all week. So I was playing two hours

of basketball before the sun went down every night. So how, what percentage of your weight loss would you prescribe to the chicken wings? And what would you describe or prescribed to working out for like two hours every single day? I would prescribe a good amount to the chicken wings just because it was making me operate without carbs and a caloric deficit. Because, you know, even if you eat 20 chicken wings like let's say i was eating 28 chicken wings a day um the calories on that is 90 a wing so 90 times 28 equals 2 500 calories and that was just all protein and fat so in fat yeah you know but it was no carbs so your body was burning it more efficiently i was in ketosis i thought i was eating too much salt on that wednesday when i was like i'm

and lightheaded, but that was just ketosis. Got it. I also like that Bill describes, Billy describes his body is just operating. Like I was operating at a caloric deficit. Yeah. He's blogging. I'm operating right now my body's operating. Yeah, my brain's operating.

But on Friday, I was 22 pounds. So it was 10 pounds, but like, it's pretty easy to lose. You can lose 10 pounds in a day if you wanted to, like water weight. I think it was about five real pounds And like five Because it was after I worked out I weighed myself And I think it was like five

Ish pounds of water weight Supposed to do it in the morning Yeah but after work Because then I didn't eat the chicken like I ate the meal of chicken wings before So like Because then it would only been four days And also Billy wanted to

You wanted to have the biggest number Like the biggest You know number of pounds lost So I understand why I did that I it's there's probably some truth to getting in ketosis before you work out so you get your actual weight it probably would have been a better number it probably would have been a better number if you like morning are you like lebron where you gain weight when you work out no because i was

eating i was eating and drinking water before i did that way you wage yourself at night i weighed myself at four o'clock after working out so that you know it was kind of a day um but i probably would have weighed more in the morning. I mean, less in the morning, I mean. You would have weighed less in the morning. So I'm kind of continuing the diet, just not chicken wings. So I had like rotissary chicken for lunch. And just like going high protein, very low carbs. Because I think it's, it's working. But I did weigh myself on Saturday after beers and Italian food because I just was craving carbs and I was 2.30 again. So. It wasn't really sustainable.

No. Well, congratulations, Billy. I might try this guy. So anyone who's trying to do the chicken wing diet. Also, I got, I got Buffalo is my favorite, but honey saracho wings are insane. Definitely recommend trying those. I did a diet like that I ate, um, I ate nothing but potatoes for like, I think I talked about it was, but I ate nothing but potatoes for like a week straight. Oh, you're Irish.

Seven days? definitely wasn't irish uh yeah and i lost like i think it was like 11 to 12 pounds something like that crazy yeah that's just the irish peasant diet it's a it's a it's a diet that doctors prescribe sometimes if you if somebody is like obese you say okay you can eat all you want but it's just potatoes if you have like real heart trouble too if you've got like congestive heart problems your arteries are clogged you tell people okay just eat a potato eat as many potatoes as you want but you're only allowed to eat potatoes nothing else and yeah the weight just melts away Kevin Smith did that the director yeah the potatoes get a bad rap because you know people are like

afraid of carbs but potatoes are like the most nutrient dense uh foods on the earth uh it's just how we dress them so like people have like a potato a baked potato with sour cream and cheese and all this shit and then yeah it's bad then you fry it and then you know yeah it's bad but like just a potato it's like some of the most healthy as shit you eat yeah did you guys uh see the the NFL line I know we talk about NFL weight loss uh like Lyman losing a ton of weight but did you see what Russell Okung did no he he lost 56 pounds in 40 days only drinking water he did a water only diet that sounds dangerous fast and I know how long did he do it how long did he do it He did it 40 days.

He fasted for 40 days. Yeah, I guess he... There's no way. You can't go that long without food. I know, I know. So I'm trying to figure out to be something else, bro. He said that he, like, I think he was definitely taking vitamins and stuff, but he was just literally using his body's fat reserves.

Yeah, there's an idiot because I forget it. Was it like two, three weeks or something like that? It's like the most you can go without food? Yeah, he was 192 pounds. He was 300 pounds during his playing days. But if you know him, could you maybe call him and ask him about this? Because he, like, it doesn't make sense. Yeah.

But like there is, there was a guy who he was like morbidly obese. And all he did was drink water and take vitamins and not eat. And he went like a year. and he just drained all of his fat storage like what it's supposed to be used for for dire starvation situations and you're saying this guy didn't eat food for a year let me let me find it

it seems suspect uh that didn't happen there's no angus barbary angus barbary look him up he went 380 days fasting between 1965 and 1966 for one year and 17 days angus barbary ate no food at all and losses staggering 125 kilograms

which is around 275 pounds you cannot go a year without he lived off a diet of just tea coffee soda water and vitamins while living his home in Scotland in the 60s nobody could verify anything he I know but he still

lost all the weight I mean I'll send the I'll send the I'm sure he did but he ate food right but still he you know they had vitamins 196 wait after he fasted he weighed 195 pounds after weighing close to 456 pounds.

Well, good for him. Wow. But it has been done. I mean, I don't know, like, that's insane. But I think that's what O'Kong did. That takes some commitment to going that long without eating any food at all. I mean, I guess if you're, like, if you hit ketosis, hit that level of where you're eating at your own body instead of.

food and you know taking vitamins while drinking coffee tea to keep your energy up i think it is possible what would your first meal back be oh i need everything i go to a buffet golden corral pasta yeah i do i do a nice nice steak medium i cook a bomb steak i hope i can eat steak regularly again one day yeah so how's how's the acupuncture going, Billy. Good. I have a needle in my ear still. You can't see it. I'm documenting the whole thing. So people who also get afflicted by Alpha-Gal syndrome will be able to take my advice and hopefully one day not have reactions anymore. But literally, you probably can't see it. But inside my ear, I have a needle that's covered up by like skin colored, um,

like band-aids almost but um tomorrow tuesday if you're listening to this i have an appointment and they're just going to make sure it's in the right place it was the weirdest thing ever they made you hold a metal rod and like test for the allergy like acupuncture is weird it works for some reason but i don't know what the science behind it actually is like i'm trying to look for like the scientific explanation of why it works because apparently for do we know that it works tons of people yeah i haven't had a reaction since getting this needle in my year you've also just been eating chicken though right but also i do have the casual like pork or bacon i'm supposed to avoid very like i can't eat a whole steak but if i have like a little bit here and there like

a carnitas taco uh you know like a little like i haven't had a reaction i'm supposed to slowly gradually eat more and more and haven't had a reaction since. Casual pork. Like this weekend was the first time I was allowed to eat a little bit and I was eating a little bit and wasn't having anything happened.

Like is it electricity? Is it like the nervous system reacting to the point? Like Yeah, I mean I think that there's probably something to it. I don't want to I don't want to completely dismiss all non-Western medicine because there's probably some stuff that works that we haven't tested out to ourselves. But I'm rooting for you, Billy.

I want my boy to be able to eat steak again. I started following this page. And I don't know why. It's just satisfying. It's this dude that just, he's a chiropractor and he just snaps people's necks and backs and shit. And I don't know, before this podcast, I was just driving back home. Like, just listening to it.

I just was watching them. I don't know why. But doctors. There's like a lot of, there's like a lot of, you know, there's a lot of, there's a debate going on. Like, a lot of medical doctors don't feel like it does anything. They think a placebo and they actually advise against it. But people swear by it. And like, there's not much literature that says that it's beneficial.

So, I don't know. Is chiro, not chiropractor, is acupuncture in that same? Yeah, it is. So there's not really a lot of science behind it. Yeah, but like, my act. The allergist that diagnosed me with, you know, being allergic to red meat and alf cow syndrome just said, there's nothing we can do. Here's an EpiPen if you go into anaphylactic shock, hit yourself with it after eating red meat. But like these people have a solution and there's scientific journals saying that it works.

So, I mean, I don't know, like, I really want to know, like, what mechanisms is it doing? Because I know some of it is BS, like, you know, talking about my chi being out of place. I mean, your chi is out of place, though, bro. Come on, fam. You got to keep it a buck, bro. Your cheese is out of whack, though. Maybe my chi is out of whack. But.

It was one time, I did acupuncture. I used to do acupuncture. Like, we do this shit called dry needling. Dry needle in. Yeah. So it's like if you have like a sore muscle or something, they get in there literally with a needle and just go in and out. and it like releases and like it's it's basically like a trigger point like releases a trigger point but i did this one in 2008 i was in arizona i never forget this feeling i was i was having

some pain somewhere i don't remember and this lady was like go to this acupuncture place and i was like i bet so they did it it put like a couple they put like a couple needles and then all of a sudden i felt like this rush it felt like an adrenaline rush and it was like all down my spine. And then it happened again later that night when I was laying in my bed. It was like, oh, and I was like, yeah, yeah, what the fuck is? I had no, I had no explanation for it. I don't know what it.

Maybe it was machi, you know what I mean, getting back in. Yeah. I don't know. But I don't know if it did anything for me, like per se, like as far as, like, helping me. But I know I felt something. Like I felt a weird, like Russia. Maybe it was just like blood flow, open up some blood.

I don't know. But it was, I felt something. I don't know. There was a Holy Spirit leaving my body, big tea. That could have been it. It is wild. Also, if you're a chiropractor in the New York City area and you want to film a video where you crack the shit out of my back, Aaron, are you down for getting your back crack?

I go. I crack my shit all the time. I love chiropractor. Like, it feels good to me. I'm definitely, I don't know if it works or not, but it should feel good, though. would make a great macrodosing YouTube video so if you're a chiropractor you want to get some

you know Billy just want free work done no no it'd be great for the YouTube us getting cracked why people would watch that shit if we did the microphones like you were watching it

on the way here that's that's facts I'd be watching that's yeah so would be a great opportunity also Aryan this week in Dallas hold on real quick there's a dude in Dallas

that I watched this is why it's so crazy right I'll send you the link, go he does this thing. He'll be like, make your belly jelly, right? He gets people to relax their stomachs. And he gets behind them and he pulls, like they laying down. And then he pulls and they like latched in. So he pulls up and you can hear it.

And like, I've been watching compilations of them. And like, when I tell you, these people like change, like this one lady that starts busting out laughing and then starts crying. She says she felt like it's been a release that she hasn't felt in like 15 years. She's talking about her mom dying and shit crazy. Like she either they are the best actors of all time or like this shit really like helps people. I'm thinking about going to Dallas

to get this negative pull on my neck. It's crazy to see the release that these people get, bro. It's like, it's like emotion. It's like an emotion. You can see it in their face. I'm, I'll send you out one of the YouTube shorts. That's wild. It's crazy.

Like, dog, they pull and then all of a sudden, like they like, they like, they go, oh my God. It's like a, it's like a emotional release. Oh, this crazy shit. I'll send it. Just get your back. crack to be like oh my god all the weight has been lifted since Aaron Rogers got hurt all of my concerns all the hope I had that was lost is back hey I'll ring dinger that's

what he calls called the ring dinger I'll reach out to him and hopefully you can get that going if you're willing to travel to Dallas I'm down to go to Dallas hell yeah are you going to feel upset though if you get your your shit cracked and you don't cry if you're just like Oh, that was pretty good. Won't that be, like, kind of underwhelming if you've seen all these people have these big cathartic moments? Yeah, I want a cathartic moment.

I want to go in there and talk about my childhood. Absolutely, man. I'm going to break down to this, nigga. I'm going to bring my therapist. No, no, I don't go to fuck. I just hope that's here to feel good because I got, I actually have a, I had an L5S1. So that's the thing.

Like, he'll be treating. He'll be like, you had a herniated disc and y'all. So I had a herniated disc. I had an L5S1. And then I have a pinched nerve in my neck. in my neck and when he this is this is what's I guess abnormal about because I got I watched a lot of these back cracking videos and a lot of people just generally they do the neck or they do the back and they roll you over with all that stuff this one is very unique because like when he does it he

said all of them say the same thing he said you should feel it all the way down like you should feel it really all the way down and all of them say it's it's all the way down and I have I've never gotten my back pop to that extent so like I'm even if I don't go in there talking about my mommy issues and shit you know i mean i want to i want to fill that all the way down shit i don't have any i love my mother's amazing i uh i have an l5 i cracked my l5 vertebrae so it's funny to meet someone else with some l5 problems is it is it you guys can bond two two former athletes you know your l5's fucked up my l5s fucked up yeah that's do you think though that release thing that's like them like it's they're like paid actors like you know how in those like big mega

churches when they're like uh like putting their hands on someone and they all of a sudden they start going crazy but you can tell they full of shit i can't they're full of shit but they could be good at that way i think about they're not full of shit they believe that shit is happening to them the pastors know they full of shit though right like i think when you get in a big social setting like those kind of things can like draw all emotions in you that feel like something, you know what I'm saying? Like that, like, people speaking in tongues is actually some of the funny shit. I know.

I was talking about speaking tongues in real life, bro, that shit is fucking hilarious though. But aside from that, like, these people, like, it's just them in there. So it's like, they're the great actors, bro, like, but there's compilations of them. It's like hundreds of people. So like either he's finding hundreds of off work, out of work actors, while these people are really having a great experience. And I'm, I don't know, man. There is a strike.

fan that's a writer's strike though they're out of work dude I would I would love to go to one of those mega churches I think that's seen in Borat where he goes and he's like feeling it like I would actually want to go just to see if it if it happened

if I just start speaking in tugs I went to I went to Joel Osteen's church once what was that like oh he did yeah it was cool I don't hate religious people I just you know what I mean it's not for me but like I like I like checking out the experiences and shit And so, like, yeah, I went, I went to one.

I actually, I was supposed to interview him. He was supposed to come on a podcast. And I think at first, they were like, oh, former athlete, he wants to interview. Absolutely, we're going to do this. Hey, you want to come on my show. And then so they were like, hey, he wants you to come on his show. And I was like, oh, awesome. That's amazing.

And then, like, I think two days later, they called back and I think, hey, we don't really think, you know, it's funny. I was like, oh, you just had somebody go, I don't think this is what you want. They just Googled you? Billy wasn't in the Zoom asking if he jerked off in space. You ever jerked off on your private plane, Joel? Oh, you know what that reminds me of? What is...

What does jerking off in a plane remind you? No, just talking about Joel O's team of megachurches. There is an abandoned old theme park in Connecticut called Holy Land. and it was built as like a you know a bible themed Disneyland Kenham I know this place yeah back in my picketing atheist days there's a dude named Kenham who's a creationist so who he believes similarly to Big D that the earth was created 6,000 years ago he's got a good museum in Kentucky oh that's the uh the creationist history museum

yeah yeah yeah and so it's like So he has like, he has, he has like animatronic dinosaurs chilling with like cave people, like nomadic cave people. It's just the funniest shit in the world, though. So I was like a velociraptor right next to like these kids playing by a fire. It's just hilarious though. Ken Ham. It's, uh, no, isn't that the, the life size arc? Yeah.

Yeah, he's got the arc there. Yeah. I thought he, no, I think he, I could be wrong, but I thought he made the Dinosaur Museum. Yeah, it's the same one. I think that at the, yeah, yeah. I think that's another feature that they have there, which is the, uh, the recreation of Noah's Ark. That's just hilarious to me. Uh, also, if you're listening to this right now, we've got the, uh, the debut of the writer

cup on the Barstles Sports YouTube. Check it out. Arian traveled down to North Carolina. I was there. A bunch of people from Barcelona were there. We competed in a three-day tournament with different formats. Spoiler alert. Arian and I are on opposite teams. He's on the blue team.

So it looks like I'll be making a date with sport clips. Sport Clips is a game changer. And now here he is, Adam Richmond. Memory is fucking impeccable, by the way, man. Oh, my God. we welcome on a very very special guest it's adam richmond he does have impeccable memory maybe photographic him and aaron we're just catching up about about some uh some commonalities that they share and adam's joining us today because he's teaming up with hormel pepperoni

they're doing the first ever pepperoni pizza pop-up shop helping fans gear up to celebrate their overwhelming love and fandom for pepperoni pizza i can get behind that i can get behind that so it's from september 13th to national pepperoni pizza day on september 20th They've got all sorts of limited edition items that are dropping. I'm excited to have you on. I do love pepperoni. Nobody dislikes pepperoni, right? Even people that aren't meat eaters, they're still like, yeah, you know what?

Let's get a pepperoni pie. I mean, they make vegan variants of it because people love it so much. But the thing that people sleep on, they all think it's Italian. Pepperoni is an American product. Pepperoni was created in the earliest part of the 20th century right here in New York City, by Italian-American immigrants, and they were just making versions of Soprasat or Sauccia, but pepperoni, as we know, it was popularized and created by Hormel in 1915, dude. So pepperoni, it sounds, I know it sounds Italian, it's associated with baronara sauce and pizza

and these other Italian things, but pepperoni's American. So it's a very, very fun fact. Right? And I think the thing is, you know, especially since man versus food and trying to uplift and elevate American businesses. I work a lot with veterans. I'm the proud son, grandson, nephew of a veteran, that, you know, this is this thing that has a pepper, that has Italian sounding name and, you know, always covered in tomato sauce. And yet, it is an American product. And, you know, in Minnesota, in Iowa, millions of American families have made their livelihood on this thing. And, you know,

people shit on American food and you go abroad and they don't realize how much of it, they're still consuming and it's really cool and the other thing is you know like you said pepperoni pizza is universal it's affordable from you know people you know in working class to multi-billionaires that everyone knows it everyone knows what it tastes like you know it's a price point that's accessible it's a food that's accessible and if you don't believe you how universal it is look at the pizza emoji on your phone that shit doesn't have mushrooms on it does it is pepperoni. Good point.

Yeah, Billy. You know, it's also pretty crazy. Tomatoes aren't even Italian. Tomatoes come from South America. They didn't get back to Italy. Isn't that crazy too? A bit of the seeds. There's variance of tomatoes and stuff like that, but you're 100% right.

Like things like Aroncini, the use of rice, you know, you had the moors invading Italy and then suddenly you began seeing orange flavors coming in. And this is why I love food and why I dig food history and culinary anthropology so much because it is this story that we tell. And yet, like, I think it's dope. And look, I'm a sneaker head. I love like the hyperstrikes and the quick strikes. And I like the way that Hormel is doing it.

I mean, A, so if you go to Austin, Minnesota, you can see one of the OG buildings when George Hornel made, founded the company. And he admits that it was the sausages that kept them afloat. but when you realize the reach like I've had pepperoni pizza in the like in Greenland you know that the people know it and they love it and from a flavor profile right like what do you think on a counter you go to the average pizzeria with like the shitty formica countertop it's got garlic powder oregano and hot pepper you need that contrast pepperoni has all of that built in and now you have what they call the pepperoni cups you know where like it curls up and makes those little magical grease chalices. Well, like, that is in and of itself kind of interesting. I got, I'm a big fan. They make a turkey pepperoni at Hormel.

And what I do is, like, I cut it into super fine ribbons, let it brown up in the pan, then crack eggs in it, and then do like ricotta mozzarella. And it makes, like, this sick blint meats and almond. I don't know, whatever, it just blows my damn brain. But the other thing that's kind of cool is that it's decidedly non-pretentious food, other than the fact that I take a lot of pride in it that it's American and I am American, that to rock some merch

that shows you're into food and you're into a food we all love that's not like douchy and erudite and exclusionary. I mean, and they made cool stuff. They got pepperoni pizza rims. They have earrings and necklaces. You know, the rims are fly.

I've actually seen, I saw a picture of them today. But when we filmed, like they have some, like they've got like cool functional stuff. They have betting, they have this lamp and stuff. They got a cornhole game, which is super cool. There's a really cool artist out of Austin, Minnesota, that made, like, pop art, like sort of that like Roche, Peter Max describes. But I think there's that thing, right?

Like, when you need someone who likes Smashburgers and you do too or someone who likes like, like, okay, Aaron, you're from ABQ. You know about green chilies in Albuquerque. that the thing is if I say to someone are you at school in Knoxville so I talk about how I got my hat like the flat cap I rock at Mass Brothers or that I went to ye old steakhouse

or that you know I've had green chilies at the frontier restaurant in Albuquerque there's that commonality when I tell you That's crazy that you brought that you're like you say your memory is insane dog but like people don't understand how good I tell us people all the time

The food at Albuquerque is so unique. Yes, sir. The Southwest cuisine is very unique because it has this mix of like Mexican, but also there's a reservation right there. Yes, sir. You get this Native American mixed with Mexican cuisine. That is just you can't get anywhere else. And I tell people that all the time, but it's crazy you brought up.

I want to ask you a question, man. Yes, sir. Because you started, I guess, I guess, where I knew you was man, versus food. I was like a huge fan. We've been following each other for like years. Yes, sir. Yeah. And so it's amazing to be. I always tell people, because I went vegan in 2012 for like, it was like a year. And it was like before, you know, veganism had, you know, shops on a corner. So it was very controversial. But the one thing that I noticed was how entrenched food was with our culture. So every, every holiday, every birthday, every birthday, every day.

get together. Every single thing that we celebrate as human beings involves food. And I want to get you take because you mentioned like the culinary history. It tells your story. So I want to get you take on like the evolution of our, you know, our cuisine in this country and like what it, what it means? Like what is American food? Because you have such a diverse, you know, palate, you know. I appreciate you saying that, man. Well, you know, I think. And it's funny because I remember when that happened. And I had like this whole scandal when I went vegan for a little while to cut weight for a celebrity soccer match. And I had this British coach who was vegan.

And he's like, I really want you to do it. And I said, why? And he's like, mate, light a buddies travel faster and jump higher. So get lighter, mate. And like you said, the big joke about being vegan is like so popular now that I had someone say, if someone did CrossFit and was a vegan, which one would they have to tell you about first? But, you know, the thing is, this country did not originate with folks with my complexion, right? Like, unless you are Navajo, Arapaho, Apache, Iroquois, Cherokee, like, that's American cuisine. Everything else is because of immigration, that you can taste slavery and war and immigration and famine and, you know, factory farming.

in every single plate. So if you think about the most iconic American dish, right, like soda, French fries, and a burger. Okay, well, burgers literally bear the name of a German place. And even though they're popularized by Louis' lunch on Crown Street in New Haven, Connecticut, it's a hamburger steak. It's chopped, you know, it's beef hashet or whatever. But then French fries, that's Belgium. And soda is Italian. So right there, you got two of the access powers from World War II in the most iconic American dish. And what I think is we're blessed, right, to live in a country where we can fast by choice and go hunting on a full stomach.

And food now for us is exactly what she said, Aaron, and that it's like celebration, its identity, it's a language. So one of the cool things is, you know, as we celebrate something like national pepperoni piece a day. It gives us a chance to examine our relationship with that food on St. Patrick's Day. I'm not Irish, you know, but you'll have corn, beef and cabbage, boxy pancakes, potato bread, cold canned and potatoes, and all that stuff, and it's a chance to learn that other culture. I grew up in Brooklyn. I was born in 74, and my neighbors across the street were Sicilian. So I'd have Caponata, and I'd have homemade pasta, not because they were trying to cook Italian that

night. That's what grandma made. My neighbors to my left were Syrian. We would have Shwarma. We'd have Kibet. We'd have Tabuli. Again, not that they were trying to be down or I'm in my Middle Eastern food era. That's what they ate. And so it's this language. So for you and I to talk about Albuquerque, you know, like I met Aryan at one of the Super Bowl events, I posted a picture and I titled a Jew and an Aryan was, you know, you can talk about. the frontier restaurant. That's John Wayne's favorite restaurant. And yet, as you said, they're serving Mexican stuff. They're serving Native American stuff. And it's loved by one of the most iconic American entities ever. Pizza, let me tell you, every culture on planet Earth has a

flatbread. There's Lombardu pizza itself was called Placontos, and it was made by Greek soldiers by putting dough and olive oil on their shields and cooking it. That's why Mongolian barbecue is cooked the way it was they throw their shield on the fire and they would move the meat around with swords and it was it there's a reason for things there's a dish in the south so i went to emery and clark in Atlanta right there's a dish called hopping john and one of my favorite food stories that we have in america and this is why to address your point erie in terms of the history and why we have this connection to it you know you go to savanna georgia you go to Charleston. You know, people call the downtown market, but there's the old heads that know what

the hell it is, and they say it's the slave market. Popping John is a dish that was popularized in these southern slaveholding states, but it uses pigeon peas, and the slavers were usually French, and they would go through Puerto Rico. So people who have had Puerto Rican cuisine of aros con gandules, pigeon peas. Well, pigeon peas in French is Puapijon. To a slave's untrained ear, Poipijon became Hopping John. And so the idea of this dish

that is served by white families, served by Jewish families in the South, has its root. And so suddenly you are tasting a whole bunch of American history in this dish. So when you go and you have pepperoni pizza, there are millions of hardworking American families

in Ohio and Iowa and Austin, Minnesota that are making this sauce. George Hormel said it himself. He said the only way that we stayed afloat in the early years was our dry sausage business. And now you think, oh, pepperoni pizza. Like everyone else says, it's a me, Mario, whatever.

It's American dude. And I love that. And I love the fact that you can go around the world and people know it, and they may shit on American food, American culture, and this, that, and the other. And then I'm like, right, You want to enjoy your pepperoni pizza with your Coca-Cola while watching family guy.

I try to hear that. So I love that. And I love the fact that, you know, we could talk about Knoxville and talk about Dixon's barbecue and the pig burger at Dixon's barbecue, the old steakhouse. And I don't have a fraction of your athletic. You've done two things that I wish I could do. Played for the Dolphins and be on Hawaii 5-0. You know what I mean? And like, but I could say to you, yo, you have a Leonard's Malasada.

Did you eat it? Cahupu Suprette and have that pokey? And we're right there. Stella Blue Coffee. The second I mentioned that in the interview, immediately there's a bond because we've had it. I've had part in my cheese steak in the studio. We know the damn thing. I met Bradley Cooper at like a movie premiere and I didn't go, oh, I really loved you.

Which cheese steak, bro? It's like, Jim, it's yours. I'm like Ishka Bibbles and John Rose Pork. And it doesn't have to be about who you are, what you make, where you're from. And that's the beautiful thing. And it's why, like, you know, pepperoni pizza. We all know it. We eat it.

Sometimes you're little, you know, you do it after a night out, do it the morning after. And I think that's why I dig the fact that there's merch. It's not a Supreme box logo t-shirt. It's not the newest collab with Noah, Amelion Dore, or, you know, moose knuckle and stone island or some shit like this it's the food we love with the stuff we use and i don't care if it's i don't know we had these like really ill um pepper and pizza earrings and there's this locket that i actually think is kind of fly i love that yeah right there were these socks i fully copped to i tried to steal when we filmed all the internet stuff it says uh they got him here it says i only stand

for pepperoni and i think it's cool you know it's food man it's food for the most thousand dollar plate Michelin dinner to the greatest slicing your neighborhood. It's made with people, I mean, think about it, the act of creating something from raw ingredients that I can give you, that nourishes your body, makes you feel better, can literally heal you in the case of things like chicken soup or juices, permerick, and things like that. But pepperoni pizza is ours. And as an American, that's a point of pride for me.

That's very cool. And also cold pepperoni pizza. cold pepperoni pizza the next day, that's its own type of food, too. It tastes different, sues you, great hangover food. I actually have a question for you about alcohol, because I've always heard, alcohol was developed across the world, independent of other cultures. Every culture figures out a way at some point to make alcohol. No question, because fermentation. Yeah.

Overall, I'm curious, like, were they developed by all these cultures for the same reason? because it feels good to get drunk, or was it a necessity for some cultures and more of a celebration for others? Or was it, you know, tell me more about, about how alcohol came to be a thing all across the world despite these cultures not interacting with each other. I mean, so many big food inventions, if you can call them that, were accidents, right? Like cottage cheese, Bedouin had a skin, you know, like a wine skin like you'd see in Spain. and he had milk in it, but the skin has rennet in it. That's just what the stomach would have.

And the motion of riding on a camel combined with the heat created those curds that we now think it was cottage cheese. That's the first iteration, because, you know, any milk or even butter, right, there's solids and liquids. So when you hear the brown butter, it's the solids in the butter getting toasted. That's why you get what they call it French burnoiseette, like a hazel let taste. So it was an accident. So fermentation is the yeast because, you know, anything fermented is alive.

A bottle of wine is alive, cast beer, alive. And that's why if you open a bottle of wine one day to the next, from one week to the next, that wine's going to have a different flavor. So some wine was created as a sacrament. And I think that it was, I don't necessarily think like when you hear about like in ancient Greece or in Israel that, you know, the high priest at the temple was like, yeah, I'm going to get turn right now. I just really want to, like, I just really want to go out and get a turn. Is that, yes, there is that euphoric feeling and probably it's associated with some kind of divinity.

But I think also you're talking about an era that predates refrigeration. So pickling, potting, preserving, and fermentation is a way of keeping stuff bacteria-free. And alcohol was used for wounds. It was used to disinfect wounds. And in terms of beer, you know, what we now know, we can carbonate, filter, heat, pasteurize, all that stuff. But in London, for example, in the 18th and 19th century, beer was safer to drink than water. so it was a necessity because you would boil it, you'd boil away the pathogens, you would have flavor, but kids were drinking beer mad early because it was safer for them to drink that

than water. Even milk, until Louis Pasteur created pasteurization and heating things to a point where you can kill the pathogens, milk was one most scandalous product out there. There was a case, I believe it was in Illinois, where a farmer was using pond water to stretch out as milk. And they were like wriggling things in it. People were using chalk to stretch out. It was disgusting. And there was no FDA at the time. So cultures developed things like alcohol initially out of necessity,

initially popularized it as religious sacrament. You know, I practiced the Jew craft. So we do the kiddish and the toast and whatever else. but then it also was a means of having a beverage, a libation that was safe. And again, it's an industry and it employs people. And that which you consumed was sort of a status thing. So if you look at like the French Revolution in the 1780s, you know, there's a reason why Charles Dickens wrote that scene about the cask of wine breaking

and the peasants are scooping it up with their hands because the rich people would get essentially the first pressing of the grapes and then there's something called the Lees which are the stems, the seeds, the skins and they would get this kind of Mad Dog 2020 vibe. Don't talk shit about Mad Dog 2020. Oh, I will talk shit about Mad Dog 2020.

You haven't had the bling, bling, blue raspberry. You're telling on yourself. I can't say I haven't had it. Do I look like a man that hasn't? Felt the love of Boone's Farm. Arbor Miss, you ever slapped the bag out? Cisco and Alize. I'm from Brooklyn, my friend.

I come up and around some bad dog, 20. The grapefruit was my shit. But the thing is, you know, there is a quality. So then it became a matter of status. And then it became a matter of an industry. And the truth is without the Midwest, and that's what to speak to what Arian said earlier about history, So look at American immigration.

You know, you had, you know, the big jokes, the Pilgrims left Plymouth and landed in Plymouth. And random factoid, if you go to Salem, Massachusetts, there's a statue of a guy who founded Salem. His last name is Conant, C-O-N-A-N-T. He is a relative of Scott Connett from Chopp, my buddy who runs Scarpet de Restra. Anyway, little random-ass fact. But you have mostly English immigration. So that means you're having ales. But when Germans came largely to the Midwest,

that's when you started seeing Pilsners. That's when you started seeing American-style loggers. Captain Pats was a boat captain whose boat wrecked in Milwaukee. And he said, yeah, fuck it, I'll just try making beer. Schlitz worked for another brewery. The guy died, and he was clever. So he marries the widow.

He, like, he, like, finessed his way. suave on the widow so he could get the brewery and then that's how he started brewing and that's how that style of beer was born you think there's an it's an accident that it's random that anheuser bush is in st louis that rolling rock is in latrobe that coors is in golden colorado this is where that immigration pattern settled new york it's english show it's hails you're finding those things and then you're slowly seeing these differences. It's not an accident. The cool thing is now that we can study soil composition, we go, oh my God, the southern coast of Long Island has the exact same terroir as the northern coast of Africa and the southern coast of France. And that's why you

can make wines on Long Island. That's why you can go to McCarrie and Conta Costa and Bedell and get these ill wines. Now, yeah. So, I mean, that's that's, that's, that's, the greatest thing. And for me, yes, as a sneakerhead, I love that they're doing merch drops. I like that it's all limited. I like that you can get the shit that no one else has. But I'm American, you know, the proud, like, son, grandson, nephew of veterans and stuff and to champion like a food product and to be able to like go on a show as popular as this one and go, no, no, no, that's not Italian. That's American. You know, it's fascinating. You're like a, you're like a, fuck it. This is crazy. You're like, I was texting a

You're like an almanac, bro, like your food history almanac and it's insane. It's crazy because it's like, you know, and I grew up watching the show and I was a big fan of it, but like you never know, like, I guess you just never, I never thought of like how much of the history that you've picked up along the way and like what it actually meant to you. I could tell like this shit means a lot to you and that's, I appreciate you that because we don't, I don't think we really understand like how much like we were talking earlier, how much food is incorporated and everything. that we do and everything that we love. Along the lines, I want to ask you, brother, like, it's hard. It's my favorite food in the world is Japanese ramen. Okay. So, like, I went to Japan and, and to your point, bro, it's not, it wasn't about money to

this, to this, like, we went to this, like, we went to this, like, it was in Kyoto, Japan. So it went to, like, down, yeah, it's gorgeous, downtown Kyoto. I'm talking about people, like, get up at 5 in the morning and sweep their porches off. Downtown Kyoto, there's not a piece of trash on the street. It's just a gorgeous place. And so we went to this place and it was like, we had to get a ticket. And it was like, it's like an hour long wait. And so we just like going around and sitting in the shops.

And it's like this small, like no bigger than a small room. Eight seats. That's all they wanted. That's all they have. And you have to win an hour and some change for it. And there was this dude who like he didn't let anybody else cook the broth. Like for, for like 40 years, he don't let no, he gets up every single morning. And that's what he does.

He cooks the broth. He makes the ramen. And it's like that he just loves. And it's like that kind of like, I've never had a better meal. And so like your travels along the world in this country, what is your favorite dish that you have ever had? Oh, you know, so it's not like a cop-out answer. My mom makes this like spinach pie.

It's not like Greek Spanacopoda, but my mom's spinach pie is like fire. Like my mom would call me in college like, okay, you know, you're coming home, what do you want? And then you know how on like Wheel of Fortune? They now just, like, give you R and S, T, L, E, because they know you're already going to say the shit. They're like, it's like, okay, besides spinach pie. But, like, you know, I think you hit, like, you really nailed it, man. Like, there's an, in Japan in particular, there's not just like this kind of pride in workmanship that you find across all fields that if you're on the train, they make Eki Ben, Eki Bento. And the bento box you get on the bullet train, you could sell the New York.

worked for $35, $40. And the katsu, the milk bread, every little relish. And it's funny that you mentioned the thing with the ramen, like, so the base of the ramen, the broth, it's called Tata. And I filmed an episode. You could probably still find that I did a show called Secret Eats, and there's a place in Milwaukee. And they just got a Michelin star called Ardent.

But what they do periodically when the chef gets a wild hair, they claim. clear off all the wild tape. They'll do it midship. They clear off all the white tablecloths, take off all the silverware. They light this little red lamp outside and they turn it into a Japanese Romagna. And the Tata, the base, it takes 26 to 30 hours to make it. And they cook down bones long enough that they can puree the bone. That's how long that there's stew.

So I would say in Hiroshima Japan or Hiroshima, Japan, I had this lionfish that was bonkers. I had, there's a place in Australia. It's the one that they always show, like every influencer. It's the place with the pool right next to the ocean. Things call Hotel Iceberg or some shit like this. There's a fish called Hopoka.

And like you don't need to put any, it's like raw, a little bit of olive oil banging. And there's a restaurant in Rome. And like, Rome is like, it's like unfair. I joked around. We were filming there during Passover. And, like, I had bread every day and finish with ham and a chip to the Vatican. But there's a restaurant called Rassioli.

It's on Via de la Juvenari in Rome. And it's 75 yards from where Julius Caesar was stabbed. It's fact. You can look it up. It's called Largo de la Torre Argentina. But Rassioli is like they were a bakery that started making food because they didn't like the way other places made it. So I would say the homemade barricie.

Radha, the cured meats, and the pastas from Rashioli. Like, I would, it's one of the few places on earth, I'd say, you can't get a bad meal, you know. But, you know, I think every state kind of has that. It's like, you know, Joe's Stonecrab. I know that their key lime pie and their stone crab and their lean-a potatoes are unfuck withable. I know that the pokey from cuckoo souperette, Hawaii is ridiculous. sandwich to Miami, you know, amazing, amazing Cuano. Ted Peters smoked fish by the highway in Tampa.

So, I mean, there are certain, like, standouts to, like, as I racked my brain, hell, Prince of Pizza on Coney Island Avenue and Avenue and Brooklyn, their pepperoni pizza. My dad used to get pepperoni, black olive, garlic, and onion. Oh, Lord have mercy. I'm not saying it, you know, it gave me a boner, but I felt a heartbeat in it. Adam, we're doing Pizza Fest next Saturday Dave Portnoy's putting on a big pizza festival In New York, you want to come?

My band's playing in it Yes, what kind of music y'all play? We do pop punk and we do covers and we do originals We just do songs that people have a good time listening to singing along to You should come out I imagine that you're a good singer

Are you a good singer? I'd like to think so Yeah, I mean, I went to Yale drama school And that was like part of the component of you had to go So, I mean, I don't, you know, I don't think Bobby Fino is going to want me to do a drop on the next track, but are he able to drop me off the next track? I'll get you on the list if you want to come to Pizza Fest.

It should be a great time. I think I'm better than Ice J.J.J. Fish, so I think I got that going for me. He's a legend, bro. I should not have. Slander. He is a legend, though. Yeah, he did. He did, yeah, he has slander. He did a track with Tyler. All I did is download, you know, download his music. But I love to go.

And to be fair, and it's not me trying to, like, tie it in. But, like, pop punk, stuff you like to sing, that's why I get behind this. That's why, yes, yes, I legit, you know, rock with spam, and I legit have the turkey pepperoni in my fridge. Even before I got lucky enough to work with the folks in Rommel or go to the Spam Museum and this, that, and the third. But you got to remember, right? Spam's big in Hawaii because the Japanese internment wouldn't let Japanese people

fish anymore. They needed a source of protein. And so this is something that is culturally connected to people. And so when you do this and pepperoni pizza, why do you think there's a national pepperoni pizza day? Because no matter where you're from, black, white, brown, no matter where you're from, no matter what your job is, no matter what your education level is, you know it's going to be good. It's the music that you know. It's the song you already know the lyrics too. And you want to sing along to it. Why not rock some cool shit along with it? This thing right here, it's a glass it's a glass they would have her and this is a case of cheese pizza break glass and it's pepperoni and like this limited addition and yes yes i would stunt personally i would

in the in the pepperoni rims i think life's too short not to have pepperoni you know do so i know big t's got a question for you he's he also went to school in knoxville oh did you so well yeah i went to uti also um but i was i was going to ask you along you know you mentioned you're from new york You lived in Atlanta. I lived in both those places. And obviously you've been all around the country. So maybe not necessarily what's your favorite region of the country in terms of food, but just what are things you've picked up on or noticed as you've gotten to go all over the country and eat food that's everywhere?

That's a great question. Well, I think that it all comes back to like immigration, right? So you go to South Carolina, you have low country cuisine or gulla cuisine. That's directly from the slave trade. That's she crab soup, shrimp and grits. Cornbread dressing or stuffing. That, you know, by the way, you know why it's called dressing because getting stuffed is a pretty rude word in English heritage.

The South largely was English and Irish settlers, so it became cornbread dressing. So, like, I love that. And I think that in the South also because of the pirates, you know, from Mobile on down to the Gulf, the term barbecue comes from the pirate Jean Lafitte and there comes some Bada Bikute to cook meat over a spit and, you know, our fajita is skirt steak that the idea of this slow and low thing, there's a reason behind it. And, you know, there's different immigration patterns. The San Francisco and New York, we have these prolific Chinatowns. You know, we have Harlem and that's going to bring a different type of thing, you know, the chicken box

in Maryland, right? Super popular, the Royal Farms Chicken Box. That actually, again, comes from the Underground Railroad. When you put flour and water around a protein, it makes a seal. So the last meal before the final push of the Underground Railroad to cross the Mason-Dixon line, they would get chicken, a little bit of bread for sustenance, and that's the origin of the chicken box. So I think that you have that aspect through the South. Midwest, you have all the drovers, chuck wagon meals, so skillet stuff, hush puppies that get their name from using the leftover cornbread, feeding it to the trail dogs to get them to stop howling at the moon and scaring the cattle. So hush puppy, hush puppy. And then in California, you have all the

wave of Asian immigration. You have the miners coming from the west to the gold rush in northern California. And yes, as Arians said in the beginning, southwest, you have Arapaho, Navajo, Apache, Lakota Sioux. You have Mexico right below you. Sonora is right by two. So, you know, I think that you notice these trends that all harken back to their history of what makes these states and make these places great. I love it. I love it. Well, thank you very much for joining us, Adam. Let's go.

Hold, I got one more last question. Okay. One more last question. I'm getting the rap. I know. I saw that. I know. My bad.
