Starting point is 00:00:13 Some of them are. Yeah. You're ordering Margaritas at like after nine p.m. at a packed bar. You just started throwing your face. Where were you at? Where's the last spot we went to? We were at Oscars. You were ordering fucking Margaritas at Oscars? That's the last spot we went to? Um... It's in Pulse. Uh, we were at Oscars. You were ordering fucking margaritas at Oscars?
Starting point is 00:00:28 That's like a high school... It's cash only in there. That's seven bucks. You bought a margarita with seven dollars of margarita and a cash only bar. There's no way it was good. No, it couldn't have been good. Yeah, I did have Sikyo, that was not good. Did you ask for sugar on the rim?
Starting point is 00:00:40 Uh, I did it multiple places, only one did. Did he ask you for, uh, if you had like a dental dam or... I looked around and I did not ask for sugar, only one did it. Did he ask you for a dental dam? I looked around and I did not ask for sugar there. Alright, that's good. You give it an ocular pat down. I appreciate that. You're getting older. How are you doing? This is Eric Lord. Eric Lordy on Instagram and everything. What's going on guys? Thanks for having me. Been getting some motion in the interwebs a little bit. Making a little bit of waves.
Starting point is 00:01:02 How has your life changed? Barely at all. But, you know, hey, get in line. Early in the month, they invited me on Fox 29, NBC 10. Just being an idiot, drinking, traveling for a few fillies. And I didn't realize there was an audience for that because TikTok shadow banned me. But then I started posting on Instagram and now I'm getting hundreds of thousand views just to be an idiot and do the same thing I'm doing. Yeah, well some of the bits that I saw the first one that I really saw and it's funny cuz like I Met you the first time I met you. Yeah was at a TCU football game of all places
Starting point is 00:01:34 Did not even really know who you were and you whipped out like two airplanes Oh my sock, so that's my go-to. And was like, do you want some? It was like, it has just met I was like he's definitely vetoes guys best friend. It has never failed you you go to a wine and spirits You get the airplane bottles you can fit five on each side Right through security you get a souvenir soda. You're good for the whole game These two are doing these two are just fucking launch an airplane bottles of vodka we're sitting the end zone and everything. I just met this guy five minutes ago vacation. No way Yeah, did you guys hang the whole game? Were you drinking together? Was it like yeah, I mean it was a tease I think I left at halftime to be honest. Yeah, the game sucked. Oklahoma State. Yeah, it was thunk cool awesome
Starting point is 00:02:18 crazy difference from going to like a Game in the Northeast to go into a game of the South. Honestly, what I learned on the trip to Dallas is actual Cowboys fans in Dallas are actually pretty tolerable. Not one of them came up to me, talk shit. They all said, you're probably gonna beat us, which I never hear up here from Dallas fans. They're delusional as fuck up here.
Starting point is 00:02:38 And it's because, you know, they're either bandwagons or they're raised by bandwagon fans. So it's like, we sucked in the 70s, 80s, 90s. You were raised by someone who jumped on their bandwagons or they're raised by bandwagon fans. So it's like we sucked in the 70s, 80s, 90s. You were raised by someone who jumped on their bandwagon. And as punishment, you're now fucked with 30 years of failure. It's fair. You shouldn't be allowed to win a Super Bowl when you're just all a bunch of bandwagons. America's team. Fuck that. Yeah. The people who are Cowboys fans here, it seems like they're just like
Starting point is 00:03:02 they saw the jersey and thought it looked cool when they were like like 15 and they're like, alright, let's be unstoppable. The star is cool. The star, I mean, it's unfortunately a pretty sweet jersey. Yeah. You can't really cut it other way. So what do you do for a living? So I do a few things, but what pays the bills in the bar tabs is, I am an online casino host, game show dealer, that kind of stuff.
Starting point is 00:03:25 So like, if you ever gambled online with a real dealer, I'm the guy that gives you all the shitty cards. Yeah. Vito knows. How'd you get into that? So I bartended and so I bar backed at Harris, the casino years ago, bartended a little bit and then COVID happened.
Starting point is 00:03:44 And then that's kind of where I got into like recording videos and traveling during COVID because it was so cheap during COVID. And then those stimulus checks stopped coming and I was like, I need a job. Then I saw that advertised and that's what I've been doing. And I've only been doing it since 2020, actually. So you've got to enjoy it a little bit. Yeah, it's super easy and stress free. Yeah, pretty much off weekends.
Starting point is 00:04:14 Never work an Eagles game. So that's my only rule. So it's kind of like you just sign up, like, hey, I want Monday through Friday. Well, so since I've been there for so long, they opened when I applied. So I got what I wanted right away. Yeah. So it's pretty cool. It's not what I want to do forever. Really what I want to do is like the
Starting point is 00:04:32 travel and blogging, you know, Philly sports stuff but you know for now this gets it done. What are you like more like the morning shift, the night shift? Like what is it all about? So I work mornings so it's an interesting probably see some fucking Yeah, it's an interesting crowd because you do get like the normal people who are just waking up Maybe going to work. Maybe they're off that day and then you get like just going to work. They're driving there, you know There's also probably people on there who've been ripping lines all night. Yeah They're still on there at seven in the morning And you know, i'm half awake and then I'm getting told the, you know,
Starting point is 00:05:06 you're fucking trash. Like, yeah, kill yourself. It happens. Which is kind of nice because like, if that was at a real table, yeah, you would be kicked out. So like, at least you can talk shit now, because like we've all been there when like, you know, you might have like 19 and then some dealer flops 21 on like the fifth card. You're like, holy shit, fuck this person. But he said, fuck you. I'm the only one there to blame. So, you know, unfortunately I don't get any type of, I don't take the money home with me. It's not my money. It's the casino.
Starting point is 00:05:34 So there's nothing I can do. When I was a bartender, if I, you know, if you weren't happy with your drink, I can make you a new one. I can't make you win the hand. So it can get rough. You just love having people tell you to fuck off. I feel like in your line of work Yeah, you're in hostile environments pretty often. You know, it's better than nothing, you know Are you on camera while you're dealin? It's actually it's interesting. This job is literally like Severance So when we're on I'll explain why so when we're on camera
Starting point is 00:06:06 Yeah, we go by a different name Really not allowed to break like the fourth wall. Like we are like I can't really talk about my Audi I'm an idiot there. Like I have a different name. I can be like, yeah I once I went to this bar last night and watched the game I can say stuff like that, but I can't be specific. Like I was at this exact bar I can't say, you know, I went to this high school. I got to this bar last night and watched the game like I can say stuff like that But I can't be specific like I was at this exact bar. I can't say you know I went to this high school I got to keep it vague. Yeah So it's kind of weird. I get about a different name. I they tell you why you go by Helly are He's winning mark
Starting point is 00:06:37 Honestly probably so what's your weight? What's your what's your fake name? Derek Eric Derek What's your fake name? Derek. Derek. Did you get the bigger or did they pick it for you? No, they were like, pick a name and that was the first thing that came to my mind. Did you do an initial? No, just first name. Would that be fucking Seference if you had to do like Derek?
Starting point is 00:06:57 One initial would be crazy. It's probably just so people can't corroborate with me. Yeah, but it's really funny because then you've got the people at Harris or you've you have people at parks and they just wear their first name And I was gonna say it's all that separates you like five feet But we want to protect our online guys who don't yeah, it's weird cuz I you know Like I said, I bartended in a casino bar back in the casino to the casinos are You get some characters you have the best society has to offer in there. I mean you got the old ladies on oxygen
Starting point is 00:07:25 whiffing down cigarettes Running you over in a little car pension and put it in the dude. Oh man We used to when I bartended There do they have the machines around the tables? There was an old couple that would shit themselves because they don't want to leave They did not want to leave their slot machines and they're just you know wiggle it out of their pants They did it. And they would just wiggle it out of their pants. They did it more than once. Wiggle it out of their pants?
Starting point is 00:07:47 Yeah, it's insane. People will piss and shit themselves because they don't want to get up from their machine. It's insane. Is that a legal move? Is that a good way to get people to leave the table? So here's the thing with what's legal in a casino. If you spend a lot of money in a casino,
Starting point is 00:07:59 you can do anything you want. Hey, you gotta leave, but I'll see you tomorrow. If you've never been there before, you like the basic player card the starter card. Yeah People fight like that's my machine Really? Yeah, like people wolf and if God forbid someone hits a jackpot on someone else's machine It's it's war would they like kind of be like that should be half mine or like because it's my machine typically They will say shit like that. Yeah, it's insane. They keep do the gambling to drug Do not know how to like handle it
Starting point is 00:08:37 Gambling can be addictive but everybody has to have advice You go through life crazy if you didn't smoke you didn't drink you didn't gamble You have to have it. Yeah, some people have two, other people have one. Yeah, but the gambling seems like the most expensive vice. Like you can get like a bottle of cheap vodka and just rip it for the night. I mean gambling is like you could lose your kid's college pension. Yeah, I mean I guess you're right, but I think drugs are probably the most expensive if you really think about it because like you could lose your house
Starting point is 00:09:05 just off of drugs and shit. True, yeah. Like gambling, you could also lose your house off of it and stuff, but like, I don't know, because maybe then you ditch your bitch ass kids so you kinda have to make some money. Yeah, your kids are probably bitch ass for sure in that situation, I would imagine.
Starting point is 00:09:18 They don't know where their father is. He could be in a ditch somewhere. So technically- They could place bets on where their dad is. That's true. That's a stab at one. I remember one time I worked overnight. There is yeah in a ditch somewhere. So technically they can place bets on where their dad is I remember one time I worked overnight I'm leaving and there's this Asian guy and his wife this dude's fetal position on the ground
Starting point is 00:09:38 She's flipping shit on this guy's in tears He must have he must have fucked up big time. I'll bark her out or. I don't know what happened, but it's rough, man. You see some crazy stuff, fights, the casino, it's a crazy industry. Online you don't really see it, but. Yeah, do you see people spend more online, or do you think they spend more in the casino, money-wise? So, it's hard to say, but I mean, there's limits online,
Starting point is 00:10:02 I think the most you can bet. I think Baccarat has the highest limit in PA. It's like 25K. And somebody was nailing them the other night. 25K. That's the limit? Max, yeah. That's the same limit.
Starting point is 00:10:15 25K. Yeah, no, it's huge. That's gonna be like, be at 5,000 maybe. That's a cool way to break it. 25K. I think 5K for black checks. 25K. That's a mess for the temple is the limit.
Starting point is 00:10:23 I heard 25K is the limit. I'll just do $100 I don't want to push the limit one guy. He was uh He's playing like thousand dollar hands on Texas hold them ultimate Texas hold them not the poker game, but the casino version hits a royal flush I didn't deal that to him, but someone else did half a million dollars on one hand Wow like damn You just like it takes the average person like ten years to work that to him but someone else did half a million dollars on one hand. Wow. Like damn. You just like it takes the average person like 10 years to work that to get that and you just hit it in five seconds. But you gotta think he's probably lifetime
Starting point is 00:10:52 probably not even up or blown. He's already blown and given back. That's gone. Can you tell by like seeing a certain type of person that they're either very good at gambling or not good at gambling? Like before the game starts is there any like things you notice personality wise? So online it's a little bit harder to tell. But I'm so I've read a lot about gambling. Like I'm more educated on gambling than most people. So what I realize is 95% of people
Starting point is 00:11:20 have no idea what they're talking about. Sweet. OK, glad to hear that. Like they will blame everything and anybody on why they lost. Every once in a while I'll come across somebody that's like, you know, they hit their 16. They do everything right. Like, cause like, you know, I know basic strategy
Starting point is 00:11:38 and all that. And some people, like they will hit a 16 versus six. I'm like, hey man, you got it. Yeah. But you know, hey man, you got it But you know, hey, whatever flows your boat would be me. Yeah, I'm that 95% Yeah, there's no chance like, you know the rules of like and I didn't know the rules very loosely But there's a no chance that you know the rules of blackjack. I take pride in not knowing how to play a single gambling card game You're better off. I'm like, yeah, I'm like the sexy girlfriend there
Starting point is 00:12:04 I like whereas undressed and I like lean over the table I did hang it out. I'm like, sir, please put your phone away. I didn't know that was a rule. Yeah, that's me the whole time Here's the thing with casinos They make it look really fun Everyone's having a good time. All the commercials in there. Everyone's having fun. If you ever notice when you walk into a casino It's impossible to like navigate where you're going. That's on purpose. Their bathrooms are all the way in the back, so you have to walk through the whole casino
Starting point is 00:12:29 floor. There's no clocks, no windows. They know what they're doing. The math always wins. All those games favor the house. You can win for a little while, but if you ever notice whenever someone hits a huge parlay or they hit a crazy jackpot, what do the casinos do?
Starting point is 00:12:47 They post about it. Yeah, look at this guy just did. And then they make their money back because the thousands of people see that like, damn, I could do the same thing. And they all hammer it and then they get cooked. Or another thing they'll do is they'll be like, hey, we got a, hey, congratulations on the win. How about a free hotel, free dinner when you come back,
Starting point is 00:13:06 come back, free tickets to a show. They just want you back in there because they know eventually you're gonna give it back. Yeah, yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy the marketing and the science behind it. No, it gets me. I mean, it gets me too. My girlfriend used to go to Atlantic City
Starting point is 00:13:18 every year for her birthday. And it's just me spending money on her so I can watch her just dump money down the drain. Because she doesn't know what she's doing either. She's more excited about it than I am. If you can gamble and have no expectations and you say, you know what, if I lose this money, I'm okay. That's how you should do it. I'm obviously where it's like, I'll put $100 down if I, and I learned this from my mom, if I double it, I leave. If I lose it, I'm good. That's literally, you're smarter than 99% of people. Now, get a couple more drinks than me,
Starting point is 00:13:48 it's like, I can afford 100 more, and then you're down 200, and then you're down 300. That's happened before, but not as much. I played something on a ship, on a cruise ship. It wasn't Baccarat, it wasn't Blackjack, it wasn't Texas Hold'em, it was the one where you roll the dice. Craps. Craps. Craps.
Starting point is 00:14:04 Craps is so much fun, and I think it's fun because it's kind of like Blackjack or wasn't Texas Hold'em, it was the one where you rolled the dice. Craps. Craps. Craps is so much fun. And I think it's fun because it's kind of like Blackjack in a way, where you're playing against the dealer. Yeah, that's a community game that's really fun. So, and Craps is one of the few games where like the players like you can actually be involved, like you guys throw the dice, so it's cool. And also Craps actually has.
Starting point is 00:14:21 How's it do jack shit dude? How about I just take the dice back and do it to him. Unfortunately, you're speaking my language, like I get to throw dice. actually has How's it do jack shit? Fortunately you're speaking my language like I could throw dice He has some of the best one of the better odds in the casino do I get the blow on it too wow That's fucking sick. Yeah, I'm like an old lady on oxygen to somewhere oxygen tank on it Like there's gonna be a good blow do my mom gonna run on a ship one time and like dudes are like proposing to her and stuff because it's just like winning people money. Yes, dude. My roommate, my roommate, my old roommate, Jack, this biggest degenerate I know, he doesn't gamble anymore, but this guy would go to a lot go to live casino on
Starting point is 00:14:59 like a Tuesday, come back with like $50,000 in chips, blow it all the next day. He would go on the craziest runs. And then the funniest story he has, they gave him a free cruise because he gambled so much. He goes on the cruise. $50,000 cruise. He's down to like his last 20 bucks. I think he borrowed 20 bucks from his girlfriend. Goes down to the casino. Beast, by the way, beast movie. I think he borrowed 20 bucks from his girlfriend. Goes down to the casino. Beast, by the way, beast movie.
Starting point is 00:15:26 Hits a jackpot on a slot machine for like 200 bucks. Goes to the Baccarat. Runs it up $90,000 on him. On the cruise? And yeah, and bounces. And I think that's the last he gambled. He finally learned his lesson and walked away. Dude, I'm shocked that the cruise people just like didn't stop him.
Starting point is 00:15:45 I feel like because those odds suck out there in the sea. They're like the payouts aren't as good. The odds aren't as good. It's like seven six or something like that. So Baccarat's a little different. Baccarat's like pretty. I think it's pretty same anywhere you go. And I'm also pretty sure
Starting point is 00:16:00 if you're out to sea, you don't have to pay taxes on your casino winning. So that's cool. Well,-free action That's pretty sweet That's the best place to go for broke if you're gambling because if they like you know you'd like bounce the amount of money They're like sir you got to come pay this I'm like I bet you I don't jump off the Never find my The initial $20 is turned to a $40,000 road
Starting point is 00:16:26 Sorry, hon. I'm going swimming. What do you have you ever talked about it with your maybe guys that have been there forever? Why do people keep coming back? Is it just this insane serotonin boost or everything? I know it's obviously addiction. Yeah, not everyone's an addiction. Some people know their limit. There's some people that I haven't seen a year or two and they're like, huh, I'm back like what happened
Starting point is 00:16:48 Like I banned myself for like a year. I'm cool though Yes, did you hear about that at parks? What happened some guy scored like a ten fifteen thousand Oh, yeah, I did and since he he legally banned himself in the state of Pennsylvania. He wasn't allowed to collect it Yeah, I mean, I guess he he's got no one to blame for himself because he knew better Then they slapped him with a misdemeanor because he came Because he wasn't allowed to be in the casino because he self-banned himself. How about that? That's a real thing They enforce that huh? That's also a self-banning is the funniest thing do you
Starting point is 00:17:27 Banning yourself from like a bar, honey. I'll never cheat on you. I've banned myself from cheating on you. I go down to the garage and self-ban myself. It could apply. I actually have self-ban myself from bars because I just embarrassed myself one time. Oh, yeah, yeah. I kicked out lots of times. South Bend, Indiana. I self-ban myself from South Bend, Indiana. What happened there?
Starting point is 00:17:41 I just got really fucking drunk and it was a wet bar. I think I was hitting on some chick and I just got really fucking drunk and it was a wet bar. And I think I was like hitting on some chick and I just fell. Looked at me like cartoon fell, like my legs were going like this, this, this, this, and then just fell. And I clad in dust. And I tried to get up again, I fell again. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:54 And the girl just like looked at me and walked away. I had dirt all over my pants and everything. I feel like that's not that bad. No, that's embarrassing. I mean, I peed in the corner of PBR like six months ago. Self ban. I had to get out. I gave myself a salt. They gave me a bit
Starting point is 00:18:07 don't come back they threw me out like for real like Will Smith's friend and like the fresh bits of bel-air No, like I grab you by my bootstraps and just fucking threw me at the front door. Yeah, that's gonna be pretty cool I got I was doing a work in it. I was pretty bad. I got thrown out national championship against Georgia I got thrown out national championship against Georgia Bama I went down to Bama to visit some people I knew down there I'm we're at this bar since 12 p.m. That's what that's just how I do it 12 p.m So the game starts at like 8 o'clock at night. I stand on the table to celebrate we tied the game. I Get thrown out only girls can stand on the table
Starting point is 00:18:45 table. Wow, what a fucking sexist rule going on there. They say the South is misogynist. Not for the next four years boys, forget no tables. So yeah, I had to go watch another bar by myself. That is a weird rule. They have that at Xfinity too where it's only the girls bars. They really are. Clubs are sped, night clubs. Nobody wants some fucking fat dork guy who's losing his fucking hair standing on a table. Yeah, but I'm at a bar. If I see a dude get on the bar, I'm like, hell yeah, brother. They have chicks and assless chaps in the bar. They don't want that. That's the one thing where there are some girls that
Starting point is 00:19:11 get on the bar and you're like, that might be a dude. There's some tough looking young ladies that get on the bar. That's true. They also don't want fats on the bar. True. Sometimes you can't discriminate that badly. Yeah, they've got to have scales. Have you ever gotten thrown out of any bars around here?
Starting point is 00:19:22 I know you're like the local drink guy now. Oh. You have a couple good bits. You had that drink around the world, Epcot style, which you did in Philly. Yeah, they got to be thrown out of any bars around here. I know you're like the local drink guy now. Oh, a couple of good bits. You had that drink around the world, Epcot style, which you didn't fill. Yeah, so that actually took off. Not on TikTok because TikTok doesn't like people drinking on camera. But Instagram really blew up. I didn't think it would.
Starting point is 00:19:38 But yeah, I think I went to 10 bars. Should have been 11. But the Canadian bar, New Noir they closed early so I think it's probably the tariffs. But yeah I had 10 drinks and then for the 11th one I just went home. For Canada I went home and put maple syrup and some whiskey. I thought that was a good idea. You think fast on your feet I I appreciate that one life Angela means yeah Well bars have you been thrown out of oh In Philly like what's some of the ones that we would know Gillins
Starting point is 00:20:17 You know what I think I'm pretty well behaved in Philly. Yeah, you know what I mean? It's your hometown And I you want to have that kind of you know I I know when it's time to go home and go to bed Yeah, I heard you I heard you don't go and don't come might be a different story. I heard you Irish exit a veto the other day veto, yeah so You know i'm buying you know, I had to Get this guy margaritas all night. Oh my god, you know, I felt bad for the bartenders. Yeah making margaritas at a packed bar There is nothing I have a buddy like that
Starting point is 00:20:43 I used to bartend and he would come by sometimes and he would order like shit, like Long Island iced teas, he would order trash cans and stuff. Like it's a sports bar, we do beers, we do shots, we do vodka. When I was younger I would do Long Islands at last call, just so I would get two Long Islands to last me the rest of the night when I was younger.
Starting point is 00:21:02 It was smart at the time, cause like, get your money's worth. But. Well, that one is insane. At last call, you've been out drinking. Yeah, two of them. Two of them? That was my go-to.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Two of them at last call. Going out to the bar with a guy who likes blue curacao in his drink and orders it multiple of them so his tongue's blue, you just can't do that. I can't even think of a guy, the closest I ever saw was the White Claw guy when they first came out. When you go to bars and he was like, I have to have a White Claw, I can't do that. I can't even think of a guy the closest I ever saw was like the white-claw guy when they first came out when you go to bars and like he was like I have to have a white-claw. I can't have a beer. Yeah, that was me
Starting point is 00:21:32 If you're my rule is if you're getting a drink that has more than one like liquor in it You got to be somewhere nice. Like you can't be ordering that shit from a dive bar You know what it means like no you have to order that shit from a dive bar. You mean like... Oh, Long Island? Okay, Long Island. But I mean like the fancy drinks. Give me fancy drinks. I need to be shaking off...
Starting point is 00:21:51 I mean a margarita is pretty fancy. Margarita, yes. He should not be ordering margarita at Oscar's Tavern. Yeah, like I wouldn't order... Once you got the bill for that was $7, it should have been the first. Yeah, I'm not going to order like a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned. Like anything fancy. Okay. I thought you gonna order like a Manhattan or Fashion like anything fancy, okay? I thought you're talking like a vodka soda cranberry or something like that you like you have to order only order that like Barclay Prime and I was like well, that's ridiculous. No no like anything that has like multiple
Starting point is 00:22:16 Steps to me. We're talking anything up. Yeah, okay? You're fucking fucking crazy person. That's Lenny Dykstra's spot. He was so hype to give us a gift. He put it in like a fucking chalice. This thing was like, everyone in the bar knew I got something extravagant. I was like, thanks dude.
Starting point is 00:22:32 What are you, flavor flav? It was nice. And everyone, it was fun. Everyone ate it up. When you go to your job, do you have to go to a place, or is it like a green screen? Yeah, so I'm like one of the few people that still has to go into the ship work. It kind of sucks, but I'm in a studio in front of a camera.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Green screen behind you? It's not a green screen. It's all real. Real backdrop, real tables. And then where will you be out on the thing or they have a studio in the background or in the back of the casino? So it's not actually a not actually a real casino like it's literally just a giant building and really we it's just tons of tables in there and is it like is it like a Industrial park or is it like this is like a state farm next to you or something like that?
Starting point is 00:23:18 Like there's other building or but yeah, I mean there's other like we're not in the middle of nowhere. It's not quite like severance, but um It's in Philly. Well, oh regular, you know regular building. Yeah, I know you're just uh, yeah I can't go on too much about it. I know You know, but uh, that's it's just it's so Because I don't i've never really uh, I don't do the casino. I just do sports gambling There you go, but I have buddies that do the casino and everything So like I it always baffled me when i'm like, like there's one video that I wanted to show you. Have you seen this one of the guy talking shit to the
Starting point is 00:23:50 is this the one that's like you're fucking up at four in the morning? Yeah, is the funniest. This is great. I Seven. That's why I got two jobs. You are four in the morning playing blackjack. That's the best part. It's so true, though. Like, I just like I. There are people that will fucking hound you.
Starting point is 00:24:39 And I'm like, you know, to say anything back or are you? I can like I can't curse curse but I can I can fight back A little bit like I'll just be like dude. You don't have to play. I'm out forcing you you're doing it here Yeah, like I you know what I mean take a break By one of these companies and just come in one time and just start going back and forth with somebody I Would like yeah, I mean your head would be like outside of the camera angle just feel like I would like yeah, I mean your head would be like outside of the camera angle just feel like We would have to get like a like a the Hubble telescope
Starting point is 00:25:16 Drone sitting above you just like watching the table. Oh god. Do you have to like get real flashy? Do you any showmanship while you're doing this any like kind of? Yeah, so like the regular casino games not really but like, you know Vito loves the lightning roulette and like the crazy time Yeah, you go you for those ones you you put it you put on a little show He's such a princess like he likes margaritas. He likes the flashy fancy roulette I was the last person ever someone called Literally Lay. It's a person literally performing for you. It's the craziest shit ever seen. I was not right for this.
Starting point is 00:25:48 I can be, yeah. Do you look at any jokes? Any stock jokes you got ready to go? It's usually like... I usually just go with like... Oh, your wife's fat. Something like that. I know you are, but what about mine? Yeah, but yeah, it gets bad sometimes. There's this one time...
Starting point is 00:26:04 Some of the dealers will let the players get to him and there's one time this guy was like my address is blah My phone number is blah blah I'm like, oh man What are they kind of like they hire cuz I got used to I used to valet and it was a lot of felons A lot of felons are they pretty strict on who like they hire cuz like not that sounds like a crazy person who'd be like this is my phone number, this is my address, meet me here. Yeah, I would say it's not the strictest. Yeah, they don't dive too deep. Yeah, not many background, not the most extensive. Not the most extensive. Yeah, the IP dress is coming from like a Venezuelan jail or something. Yeah, that's crazy. I can't imagine if I got because the minute I would get called out,
Starting point is 00:26:47 like if somebody was talking shit to me specifically in that like medium, I would shut down. Like it doesn't get to you at all. You're able to just kind of like push through and just so he's great on the TikTok comments. Yeah. So when he replies to a TikTok comment, I know it got to it. It's done the same. I don't understand 100%.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Yeah, it's it's it's sucked at first. I'm like honestly like You hear it so much and it becomes like so redundant and it's like so common Yeah amongst all the degenerates like like they kind of it's like the same things I go to it's they they have there's there's like a totem pole of where they go to there's a Blame another player because they hit something that they shouldn't hit. Blame the dealer. Can they talk or do they just type? Type. So they'll be like, seat number four, I'm going to come for your family?
Starting point is 00:27:34 That has happened. I've had people exchange phone numbers on there. But... L's in the chat on that one. That would be funny. Chat, do you think seat seven should have hit there? Oh dude, one time this guy was promoting his girl's only fans in the comments and like all these people started subscribing to his girl's only fans in the comment section so. Did they have anything like feedback how it was? I think a couple dudes liked it because there's a couple dooners in there that were into it. Are there anything that's a couple dooners in there that were any
Starting point is 00:28:09 That's like you're not allowed to do that like it's like all right, that's an auto band For them promoting only fans. I would see maybe be They're technically not supposed to put any promoting or social media Vemo anything like that. They're not supposed to sometimes you get away with it. Sometimes they don't Also, it's not the strictest dad. Yeah, and also it's a good thing that I can't see them because I feel like there'd be some chat We like going on Yeah, I mean like I I'm employed there I have You know, there's something making me act professional. They don't have anything keeping in professional So I could only imagine what I would see if I could see them
Starting point is 00:28:44 Hands I'm cracking my shit on camera dude, unfortunately. It's just the world we live in. I'm pulling that thing out and they'll be like, you're a pussy. I'm like, you sure about that? Anyway, sorry. Look at my half soft pud. True, I'll go half soft. You guys want to have a hog off? That's what it's all about. Oh my god. How is it now?
Starting point is 00:29:08 Has it cooled off since the pandemic or are you guys still seeing a lot of players? Yeah, I would say during the pandemic it was a little bit crazier because no one was going to real casinos. It was all online. But, I mean, it's gambling is probably if I had to guess, the fastest growing
Starting point is 00:29:24 industry in the world. It's it's got like it's crazy It's getting legalized everywhere only pickleball. It's ever pickleball Two bands of my existence or you can gamble on pickleball too. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if that's coming Yeah during Kovac you could gamble on like hacky sack and everything so Have they taught have they talked to you about like what? It's coming like down the line and stuff? Because I feel like with like VR, you guys are already kind of taking
Starting point is 00:29:47 that over and stuff. And that's going to like get just as like technology. VR would be sick. So I don't know too much about that. But I don't know if you want VR. I feel like that's when you're gonna start getting the hot crackers. You're gonna start seeing now that I would be actually pretty cool. But the game shows more game shows.
Starting point is 00:30:06 So I know we don't really have it in PA, but like I would crawl overseas. Usually overseas gets it first before we get it, but they'll have all kinds of game shows, like Deal or No Deal, Monopoly, all that stuff that you can gamble on. So just more ways for people to get addicted. Do you take a persona?
Starting point is 00:30:23 Do you take like a Chuck Woolery or are you more like a? It really depends on the vibe. Like honestly, like as boring as it is, most players don't say anything and they just like wanna deal, deal, deal. Like they just wanna play. Every once in a while you get a cool player that actually shoots the shit with you
Starting point is 00:30:38 and that's kind of what makes it. Right. And then every once in a while you get a player that wants to, you know, take his aggressions out on you instead of you know his wife's not around anymore So he's gonna take it out on you. Yeah, so it's really good. It is, but it's entertaining You're like a borderline therapist in a way. Yeah way and you know it's a toxic relationship Anyone ever like trauma dump on you open up to you Yeah
Starting point is 00:31:02 I've heard about a few divorces. You know what you know what I get a lot. I get really fun Conspiracy theories as to yeah as to Why they're losing or what's going on? My favorite is there's a midget in the roulette wheel And and the thing is I don't think they're joking like they're dead like I'm already half believing If I see that ball bounce out of red it goes to black very suspiciously I'm on I'm on putt putt chaser Underneath the table, oh we get the mag yeah doing the magnet You do it you do a little tap tap tap on the on the table I feel like magnet come african-american mission. That's blackjack down there
Starting point is 00:31:54 That's you should be like oh, yeah, that's blackjack. That's how you should just that's yours you can have that one Yes, oh wait hon. How. How you doing tips? Oh, yeah. Yeah, so. Oh, wait, hon. How do you do on tips? That was actually a good question. So it was a really good question. It varies, honestly. The people who bet less tend to tip more.
Starting point is 00:32:15 That's the funny part. However, the guy there was a guy playing 25K hands on Bakarot yesterday or two days ago. The limit, max. So that's 50 grand total when he wins. He tipped me like 250 bucks off of 25 grand wins. So that was cool. But then I felt horrible because then he kept playing and lost like 75 grand. So it sucks. When you win like that, just leave. It's my advice. Especially if you already
Starting point is 00:32:45 tipped me on. I don't want to feel bad. Did you give the $250 back? He didn't. No, did you give it to him back? Because you felt bad? No, I don't have that power. It just goes into the account. I wish I could, man. Do you have regulars? Yeah. Dude, there's I mean, there's people there from the time I go into the time I leave and you know, it's crazy Women it's a lot of times. It's women the women are like starting to get hooked on gambling is a candy crush ladies They're graduating. Yeah, it's like and I feel like most women who loves to gamble They're like, yeah, like my ex-boyfriend like got me into it and like now I just hugged. So you think our queens are gonna start just
Starting point is 00:33:29 fucking throwing down seven leg parlays and then when Newt Dord doesn't get 12 points it's gonna be in his DMs being like I'm gonna fucking kill you? That could be the new reality show it's just women starting to gamble. Women gambling on parlays would be the funniest thing though. It would ruin my life please don't bring it up. I don't know. I like this guy, Alper and Sangoon. I like his over today. It's like, how the fuck do you know who that is? He's actually averaged at 20, 10 and five the past. I think he's doing over 20 this game. Ladies like they're so dialed in and they're like, they're meticulous and stuff that they'd
Starting point is 00:33:58 probably be better at gambling than like men are. I know dudes that put together parlays because they play with like shy Gilded Alexander on 2k and yeah he's gonna have 40 today. It's like no you had him you made him have 40 on your video game. Like no no no he'll have 40 he's good he's good on 2k he's good in real life. That's gotta be the most emasculating thing that can happen is like your girlfriend is way better at betting than you are. Yeah I'm seeing like a lot of memes where like you know when your girlfriend's like bracket is like smoking yours out of the water. Oh, yeah. She hasn't watched a single set of college basketball. Yeah. When Helen in accounting has North Carolina go to Final Four because she likes the baby blue,
Starting point is 00:34:32 that pisses me off. It's the worst. Yeah, but you get them back though. Like all the reality shows that they watch, like I feel like we can kind of pinpoint what's going to happen for the next episode before they can. What? No, 100%. There's two in it. When you're not actually that in it, you have a better perspective of it. But I think that's the same thing they're doing to us that we do in reality shows. That's such a good point. She watches Southern Charm. You know these people are the worst human beings in the world. They're all just rich people. And she's like, no, no, no. He's good. She's nice. Blah, blah, blah. It's like, no, they're all fucking self-absorbed pricks. Yeah. And they look at her like, episode two, they hugged. But then to you, you're like, no, I'm telling you,
Starting point is 00:35:07 Duke is the best team in college basketball. And she was like, too many white guys. It's like, fuck, I should have thought of that. The Big Ten hasn't won a championship in 25 years, right? Fuck, they have it. Yeah, I think the saying is sometimes you live too close to the trees to see the forest. That's exactly right.
Starting point is 00:35:20 That's gorgeous, dude. Is that what you say while you're on the online game? You could have that one, too. I think I heard that on a TV show once. Some other dealer was telling you about that one. This guy is. No, that's so funny, because it's like then you're like watching, like back to the girl point, you're like watching a
Starting point is 00:35:33 you're watching the birds lose and they're like, well, it's just like just much more than our athletes playing ball. It's like, no, it's fucking not. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, that's like the classic dad response. Like they don't care about you. What are you going to know if so upset for when I was growing up? I would cry like when the Eagles lost Super Bowl in oh for no, I did I was distraught That's why I realized I love the Eagles and then my dad just like
Starting point is 00:35:54 They don't even know you exist like they don't give a shit. They're millionaires. You think they're crying They can only understand that in sports So if you tell your dad that like if he died his boss wouldn't care He'd be like, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. It's like dude the whole company hates you. It's like me and Rick we had a good meeting the other day we had lunch together. We literally shared the break room. Now it's funny you mention that because like I cried after the 2004 Super Bowl my dad was like laughed at me and I said you don't understand how this feels and like he like obviously lost in like 1980.
Starting point is 00:36:23 He's had heartbreak after heartbreak his entire year. I'm Love it. Yeah the birds ever it really is anybody who has kids now, they're gonna be insufferable They're gonna be like Patriots fans. They are we win one more. You're basically a cheese pete Yeah, you really are it's annoying. So yeah, I went from having to defend where your rings at to now we're bandwagon It's crazy. And going back to the Cowboys conversation is they still fucking bring up their rings. It's like, dude, you haven't won a Super Bowl. You've sniffed an NSC championship in 30 years. Same because and it's mostly from fans who weren't
Starting point is 00:36:55 even alive for it. I saw one today where it was like, well, if Dak had the Eagles offense, he would have won 20 and 0 last year. That's just impossible. That's the go-to against Hertz. Honestly, I'm at the point where I don't think Hertz is ever going to get credit because it's always going to be the team he has around him. And honestly, someone made a comparison that I didn't like, but it made sense. They said, well, Troy Aikman has like three Super Bowls and no one considers him like a great all-time great.
Starting point is 00:37:23 I'm like, damn, you know what? You're right. I feel like that's probably going to happen to Jalen. But you know what? I'm OK with that. Just keep winning. Yeah, it's really a game. And I don't we don't care. Well, you're exactly right.
Starting point is 00:37:33 If someone came out to me and was like, well, your quarterback wasn't as good, but you have three Super Bowls. And it's like I can live with that. Yeah. Honestly, the great thing about the birds is our best weapon is Howie Roseman. And he's not gonna retire any Yeah We're locked in getting the Brad Stevens treatment
Starting point is 00:37:50 Really one time that there was like back in the NBA where Brad Stevens was like the best coach in the league and they're like Would you rather have LeBron or Brad Stevens? Yeah, that's a real conversation. You started Yeah, would you start an organization with Brad Stevens or LeBron first unbelievable? I mean it kind of how Roseman thing It is kind of unbelievable. I mean, he's literally changing the league. I mean, the Bengals just paid two wide receivers. They obviously could have done it a couple of years ago and probably save themselves money. Now they're thinking about paying Trey Hendrickson and stuff. And it's like, all right, well, now you're going to have to draft well and stuff. And people are going to be like, okay. So if teams start drafting well, you can start paying your players. That's
Starting point is 00:38:22 what happened with the Eagles. They just start taking Georgia guys. Howie's off season last year might go down as like all time. Great. Like that dude deserves a statue. But some of that's a lie. I'm sure it is. But how many times have we seen how he missed on a linebacker? Yeah. Now he gets, now he gets guys from special teams.
Starting point is 00:38:37 How about Jalen Reger over Justin Jefferson? That still sticks with me. Marcus Smith out of Louisville. Absolutely. Nelson Aguilar even, even though he won a Superbowl still wasn wasn't the greatest pick Carson Wentz ended up not being able the greatest pick And stuff like I was one of MVP Yeah It's just cuz you got pussy off the back of Carson Wentz
Starting point is 00:39:01 When he tore his ACL we all tore his RACL We go to the bars, the ladies are like, take a seat, please take my seat. You guys all went on the IR. Your knees probably aching. I said, yeah, quite aching. Oh, God. Your one video I wanted to talk about,
Starting point is 00:39:15 you went down to Clearwater for 24 hours. Yeah, that's the one that really blew up. Well, no, my favorite one of yours is the Phillies Too White. That one, so that one got the most views ever. Well, no, you're my favorite one of yours is the Phillies too white dad one so that one that one got the most views ever and The funny thing is I think that was a little too sketchy for
Starting point is 00:39:33 People to want to like bring like I got brought on the news for the clear water one Yeah, oh you can't you know cuz you can't really promote like this guy's saying we need some more wands and Julio's so like this guy's saying we need some more wands and Julios. So I got what you said in the video. It was on my for you page. Yeah, it was a great. It was a great fit because they are. They're too white. Yeah. And they're still too white.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Yeah. Listen, I love Bryce and Bryson, but we do need some more. Yeah. Alec. That was in the tray. The whitest of whites. It's a fucking U-12 like travel team. Like they always to wear those like remember they used to wear back when we were growing up, they used to wear the necklaces that were like apparently had like balance and made you feel like equal.
Starting point is 00:40:09 It's the 2004 Abercrombie staff, dude. They were all sitting out front. The inspiration behind that video was literally, look at the Mets. Yeah. Like look at the Mets. Francisco. Look how many Zs are in that lineup.
Starting point is 00:40:21 And then look like, and honestly, I hate to say it, but I'm optimistic, but I don't know about the Phillies this year I'm gonna just see what happens. I already got optimistic, but my high my hopes aren't too high Don't see what happens to the Mets are their starting rotation is already down. Who knows what the Braves are gonna do They're coming off injuries Hammer the over You get me back
Starting point is 00:40:45 on board. They're good. They should be a top five pitching rotation. They spent three $400 million on the team. Max Kepler I do leave in. We got some we got some bulls in the chamber to to trade at the deadline. So just coming up. What are your thoughts? Dude, there are some of the best guys some of the greatest some of the greatest guys. And these guys Wow, we see these guys and they're going around they're going each base they're some of the best guys, some of the greatest guys. And these guys, wow, we see these guys and they're going around, they're going each base, they're hitting every single one.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Home run, first base. And I just love seeing these guys, man. These guys, they're big strong, beautiful guys. God, I wish they weren't fucking white though, right guys? We need more DEI hires. Those crackers. Now we're talking, there we go. Get him a couple coronas.
Starting point is 00:41:22 He starts, hi, Carumba. You really are. The corona's unlocked the sound of the border. Dude, I made one video and they're like, they're all bitchin'. Oh nice, this is a nice video for a lightweight. And then I made the drinkin' around the world for like 12. I drank 12 and they just find ways to talk shit. You said it's $4 less than a good affiliate, right? Get drunk. Yeah, the $30. Yeah, that's find ways to talk shit. Yeah, the $30.
Starting point is 00:41:48 That's the one they talk shit on me. Like, God forbid I made a video trying to help some college kids out or something. So I made a TikTok about a $30 challenge drinking around the city. And, you know, of course, all the comments, there's always like dads or like some like miserable dude from Mayfair or something that wants to talk shit and be like If you got only $30 a drink you shouldn't even be going out. Oh You only had five beers. You're not even drunk guy Mayfair is $25 I'm sure you live like let me let me let me help the people out man. I'm a man of the people relax I did drinking around the world. I drank 12 drinks. And then the the going to Clearwater for a day had no
Starting point is 00:42:30 idea that was going to blow up the way it did. I planned that the day before. I was like, it's fucking cold here. It's windy. I want to go to Clearwater. It was the I think it was the first weekend they played. I Took a flight at 5 in the morning Got down there made some stupid videos didn't think anything of it went to the game We got our ass kicked went to a bar met this group of kids that moved down to Tampa from PA and Somehow I got roped into giving the gender reveal for
Starting point is 00:43:09 one of their kids. I had to make a video. Like I just met them and they're like, dude, you're cool. Like this is awesome. And like a week later they're like, dude, make that gender reveal. Cause only the one guy told me what his gender of his kid was. So that was the whole thing thing. This is that's why I do these trips. You never know what's gonna happen Well, wait, what did you do for the gender? You went there? It was after the video went viral and they invited me on the news and everything and he hits me up and goes dude We all love that video. Like can you just make it? I'm an expert video maker They just automatically assume that I'm an expert video maker. That no one's really good video maker.
Starting point is 00:43:45 Yeah. So they just like, dude, I need a general. I take my phone out and I put it on the video mode and I just talk into it. Wow. Yeah. Literally, I just all I did. I was like, I got a bottle of wine and a bottle of beer and I was like, woman. Wine.
Starting point is 00:44:02 I was going to put a lot of thought into it. Beer's boy. Yeah. That's what it was. I took a swig of the wine I was like sorry hate to break it to you it's actually a boy I just really needed to get some buzz off the one oh my god yeah you strike me as a guy who doesn't it's not tough for you to make friends So it's funny. I used to be antisocial growing up. Believe it or not. And then I probably started drinking beer. That's really Yeah, that was the start Drinking beer it opened up this entire layer of of a universe. I just have never I love this beer stuff I'm like addicted to this stuff
Starting point is 00:44:52 Get the man a refill have any more that's fine. I have a modello in the back get him a whiskey or something I do have a whiskey whiskey. Nah, it's it's Wednesday Nah, it's Wednesday It's all in the back I won't drink tomorrow fuck it's to kill Thursday forgot I went with the talk. Yeah, I look yeah, I dropped that off too. No, no you gotta pop it off Dude pause on that one. The we the more hello, dude, like off the weed. You have a very Hispanic beer selection. I feel like that was kind of appropriate.
Starting point is 00:45:33 Yeah, I forget why I got the coronas last time or why I got just take it off. You don't have to undo that. Wow, man, it's a big bear, man. I bet you it was a margarita. You'd know how to do it That's true. You should just find your way. It's funny after after Bud Light got canceled They said Modelo was the highest selling beer. Yeah, and they were under the same company too, which is hilarious Yeah, and then they're like, you know, they're like, you know how he could come off as less gay
Starting point is 00:46:00 Let's get Shane Gillis and To I Don't know how picking Post Malone. Zach Ryan too. I don't know how picking Post Malone makes it less gay though. I was kind of curious. That felt like a step backwards. Yeah, a guy who can sing with tattoos all over his face. I feel like that's kind of gay. Yeah, a guy who was like a hip hop and now country singer. That feels like one of the most...
Starting point is 00:46:16 And was also like in a metal band when he was in high school. Yeah, he's got long hair and a fake beard, fake tattoos. I will go to their grave saying those tattoos are 100% fake. Wow, that's some accusations. Yeah. You think they're just like hennas? Huh? Tattoos I will go to your grave. I will go to my grave saying those tattoos are 100% fake Yeah, you just like Hannah's huh? You think there's like Hannah's who's it Hannah? Oh, it's like a tattoo No, I just think they're fake I think it's no good I think it's garbage even perhaps I don't know I like that What else you got I Just I keep fixating on like the the showmanship aspect like of like do you feel any that pressure of like while they're all Watching you like I know that they're all talking shit, and it's kind of like a lot of them are kind of like you know
Starting point is 00:46:58 Miscrence, but yeah, you kind of navigate that Honestly, you just learn to tune out the negative stuff where they're like, you know, kill yourself and all that stuff. I ignore that part. But even like being on camera, like you don't get too worried. Like if you do something with like- I mean, I've been doing it long enough now. Right, right, right. It's just second nature. It's so funny how like the dads from Mayfair got in your in your
Starting point is 00:47:18 crawl about like the light beer, but people telling you to kill yourself. You're like, that dude, she's a Monday. Yeah, I don't know what it is.

I lived around Philly my whole life But I'm not gonna say oh, I'm from this exact town. I'm the same from Philly. You know what I mean? Yeah, it's just easy because no one knows what the hell fucking Another five question conversation with these people about oh Then you have to have another five question conversation with these people about like oh so you're like this, this. Philly just encapsulates the whole area. But they want to know.
Starting point is 00:48:30 There is like a very, like I work in northeast Philly and live in South Jersey and there are people that are very aggressive about like if you mention anything about being from the area they're like where from, how long do you live there, what's the neighborhood, what's the street. They don't get out often. No they do not. There's like a toxic like Kind of mindset and feel like of the people who don't leave their neighborhood, but it's like how dare someone that

Starting point is 00:50:09 It's your it's your sports radio caller from Chester County. Yeah. Who just thinks every athlete nowadays is soft as fuck. Matt Strom heard himself packing the other day. I got in an argument with some dude on the Internet. And he's like, just like the typical like somebody had an injury, they sprained their ankle and they're like, sprained ankle. I go to work every day.

These, these are literally like one in a million talents that have to go up against other one in a million talents They're not in tip-top shape. They're fucked Well, I had a broken arm in high school and I came back in ten weeks this guy's gonna miss Ten months and it's like it's a little different about playing in the suburban one than it is playing You know NFL and by the way, if you watch them at work, all their coworkers cannot fucking stand them.
Starting point is 00:51:05 They're like, he doesn't do anything. He just sits there for 10 hours. Comes home, sits on the recliner, drinks a Marilite. We call him coach to make him feel better because he's never like getting up ever. Yeah, coaches girls, basketball. Yeah, well, that's a beast move. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:18 God. I couldn't do it, dude. I can't tolerate it. It's a special city. New York, same way. Boston, same way. That's nice. Here's the it that I can't tolerate it. It's a special city, New York same way Boston same way Here's the thing. I go to other cities. I'm like, wow, it's so much more peaceful here. People are so much nicer here, but At the end of the day, I don't feel at home anywhere else more than I do here Well, that's the thing if you lived in it, you would never feel that way you'd be like, this is just Philly, but I'm yeah
Starting point is 00:51:42 I got all the places Nice but I just don't fit in quite as much but I'm in. I go to all the places. This is kind of nice, but I just don't fit in quite as much. There is a lot. Like I went to Boston last year and there is like a large portion of the city that feels like Disney World. It feels very fake and like it's all put together so it looks. South is like not South anymore. It's like all where like 22 year old kids like go to like. I never if you go to the waterfront in
Starting point is 00:52:02 Boston, it literally feels like it's like nobody lives there. Nobody's walking around there. It's just like 18 buildings. I remember the first time I went to Boston and I was pissed. Like, where's the Boston accent? Like where, like nobody had it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:14 Like I had to like search for a dive bar with like some scraggly bartender here. I heard one person in all of Boston have the Boston accent. Oh yeah, the bars, you gotta be careful of the dive bars. I walked into one, I was doing the same thing, where you walk around and it's all transplants or kids who grew up somewhere in Massachusetts,
Starting point is 00:52:31 but you walk into a dive bar and you're like, ah, you're fucking homo. Then you're like, all right, cool, we're good. But I did have one where I went to, there was an Irish bar that we walked into and most of the staff was from Ireland. And I was a big group of buddies that I was with and we went up and they let's do Irish car bombs and I went up like a fucking idiot and I was like can I get
Starting point is 00:52:53 five Irish car bombs to a woman who's from Cork Ireland nice and she was like how'd you like if I asked for two 9-elevens I mean that would be funny unfortunately she was like furious she was like I shouldn mean, that would be funny, unfortunately. But I didn't find a plane. She was like, furious. She was like, I shouldn't even get them for you. I thought that'd be a crazy shot. Yeah. A 9-11 shot.
Starting point is 00:53:10 A couple 9-11s. Dude, what would be in that? Sand and a... Some brown liquor. Oh, man. No, but she was pissed. And then she was from, no, she was from Dublin. And then there was a group of like five dudes from Ireland.
Starting point is 00:53:23 And she was like, why don't you go over there and and ask if they'd be okay if you thought we were in that and we went to them and they were like it was it bad if we got a fully Irish car bomb and he's like dude I don't give a fuck at all and we told her and she's like either from fucking Cork they don't care they're not real Irish yeah you know fuck I'm getting those car bombs are like what cuz now I'm now now I've kind of this is kind of just ruined my dad I was like let me get it let me get a Northern Ireland is a real country. How about that? Is that it?
Starting point is 00:53:47 It's so funny. Like when I first started traveling, I was so awkward. And I just assumed that like any interaction you have with someone in that city is how everyone there is. And then you eventually just realize there's assholes and good people in every city. Like it's so funny. Yeah. No matter where you go in the world.
Starting point is 00:54:05 What was your bartending experience like when you were doing that? Cause I think everybody should have, should work in bartending. So I do this so briefly. Cause it was just like piggybacking off of bar backing at the casino. Bar back or bar tending at a casino
Starting point is 00:54:22 is a little bit different. I mean, we, we were a union there, so that was cool. Like we got like actually like made good money and like professional athletes come in all the time. A.I. would come in any good A.I. stores. Yeah, not not good for him, but I would hear from the servers hated them. Not a good tipper. Or he would just. Listen, I love AI as my childhood hero, but. We all hurt. We all hurt.
Starting point is 00:54:53 The servers that weren't the biggest fan of him. Probably not a good tipper, but also like make you run around a bit. Yeah. He loves his Dom Perignon. Yeah, I ran into him at Xfendi Live. Quick one. Gambling on him around a bit. Yeah Yeah, I ran into a man Xfinity live quick one gambled him a little bit, but it was like You could tell it was uh It was different watching your childhood hero Score 40 or score 55 in the Easter Conference finals. Yeah, then watching him gamble
Starting point is 00:55:21 $50 hands at the roulette table. Yeah, it was a bit of a childhood It was a bit of a childhood They had like when he was a big three league He me my mom my cousin went and he was supposed to be playing it was like whatever the name his team was named after him it was like the Philly threes or whatever and They announced 20 minutes before game time that he wasn't playing and everyone's like kind of bummed because everybody went to Wells Fargo I watch him. Yeah, yeah. I remember that happening. And then you find out like 20 minutes, 30 minutes later that there's just pictures of him
Starting point is 00:55:49 shithoused at Atlantic City the night before and it's like, god damn it, dude. Dude, I remember when I- God damn it, A.I. Come on, man. I remember when we re-signed him, I was a kid and it was like the last game of the year. We were terrible and I would always just get really good seats because they were like five bucks and we would always sit by the tunnel and It's the last game of the year
Starting point is 00:56:07 every players like to strip down and they're like underwear just giving everything out and AI just like blows everybody off like fuck you guys I'm like damn man like Mom would never give out foam fingers when I was a kid we'd go and his mom would like walk in the crowd I was like third or fourth grade my mom worked for a YMCA that would get us tickets to like a small kind of like decent area and his mom would go around she was not a fan of the white boys. No I never got a single. Only give out black uh. Which you know do your thing. Phone fingers to the black. All good I totally get it but there were a couple times that I was wearing fucking an african jersey some fat boy and one shorts and borderline braids.
Starting point is 00:56:47 And I was like, and she was like, no dice brother. No dice, no dice. You know who's great? You know who's melatonin in there? You know who's really great? Like every person I've had who's met him, like says not the most good things, Charles Barkley. Yeah.

Good for him. Just be honest. That's totally fun. That's why everyone likes Charles. But yeah, you're exactly right. I've never met him, but every single story you've heard about him is he's a great dude. Yeah, stops for pictures and all that kind of stuff. Yeah, he's very involved. I wonder how many beers Charles Barkley could drink in a night.
Starting point is 00:57:39 You think he's a beer guy? He's got to be a beer guy because he's from what? From the south. From the south, Auburn type area. He's got to be a beer guy because he's from what? From the south, from the south, Auburn area. That's got to be a 27 beers for like a good hangover type of guy. It's got to be true. He has an all time quote when he when he threw the guy out of the window and the judge was like, Do you have any regrets? He's like, I just wish I wish we were on a higher floor. Greatest thing of all time. And then like, everybody got mad at him for that,
Starting point is 00:58:06 I'm not a role model commercial. I thought he's been the most honest person in sports media of all time. But like the guy's had like three different arrests. He like, he's had some like, he had some run ins during his career. And then like he has like this Nike commercial where he's like, I am not a role model.
