Thanks for the F-Shack. Love Dirty Mike and the Boys. Hey, are you dirty Mike and the boys? How you know who we are? What's this? They called the podcast? Morning good. I love that.

Yeah, it's me with the boner on the front. Welcome to morning. All right. We're here with Brandon Barrera. Hey. And Matt Bowman. Hey. And they're drinking.

I'm not drinking because I had a long night of drinking. I'm going to drink again. but I'm just like I good what a pussy I'm just you're just you're not drinking but you're like you're on acid just I'm not drinking but you know I'm I'm I'm somewhere that's just the whole pot I was just going he's not drinking yeah well I like dude I one of those where I had the worst sleep to get it because I we went out to my anniversary near with my girlfriend

God drunk thank you thank you God drunk woke up at 4 am just could not fall back asleep. I like smoked a bong. I started watching some weird Justice League movie because that stuff puts me to sleep. Not the Justice League movie. It's like Justice League Parallel Universe 17. With like weird random people

voicing in there. James Woods is one of the voices in it. Really? Who is he? He was in like a lot of 80s action movies and he plays like a bad guy and family guy. Okay. So just like the most obscure movie because like that put me to sleep. Didn't work. Damn. Finally at 8 a.m. I just sat at the sink and just took shots of

vodka and then just went back to sleep because I was like I was like dude I I literally got from one no I think two to four I slept and then woke up and then I was like oh all right well is being drunk what's worse getting no sleep or being drunk

at 8 a.m. I don't know which one wow I mean society wise it looks worse to drink at like seven or eight a of course but I'm like it put me right back to sleep I woke up four hours later at noon that was great damn it is a solution sometimes like no hang No, it's fine. Fantastic.

What kind of vodka was it? That's smearing off in a plastic bottle over there. Wow. That's crazy. That's like a, yeah. That's a bad hangover. Especially over the sink. Oh, yeah.

That's, this, this, I only did like two shots, but like that after like some bonn ribs. Because the, the barring is just for hours. I was just staring at the TV watching this like, I'm like this movie. But that doesn't put you to enjoy it. That wouldn't put you to, a lot of times that that'll put me to sleep. Nah, dude. My body was just like, indica. Like, that'll knock me out.

Yeah, it's Indica too. I got it like from a dispensary in Boston. But it like, I think the thing too with it is like if I know I'm not going to get sleep, I get anxious about not getting sleep and then I can't sleep. Well, then you're doing it because then you do the thing. If you're like, okay, well, it's one o'clock.

If I fall asleep now, then it'll be this. And then you're like, oh, it's 115. And like you just are constantly thinking about the time. So I woke up at four and five cannot fall asleep. Six wasn't falling asleep. And then seven, I'm like, I'm just going to take a couple shots. And then slept great, woke up at noon. Damn.

It'd be funny if he was like, at seven, I took a couple shots. And then by eight, I was on a bar crawl. Yeah. You know that New York City has a bar crawl in the morning. It's great. It's in Times Square. It's good. It's just me with homeless guys.

Like, ah, Jimmy, you're the craziest. I don't know why people make fun at you guys. He's my new pals. Dirty Mike and the boys. I get it now, fellas. They're like, you want to shoot up? You're like, ah, no. No, no, that's right, glad.

I have a friend who smoked crack with a homeless guy. so funny because he's not, he was like a spary wearing guy. And then randomly he was just like hammered. And then it was funny because like somebody woke up that night, they're like, dude, I made out with like some fat chick or whatever. And he's like yeah, I smoked crack with a homeless man. But he's like the kind of guy where he was like polo,

like not the type to smoke crack. But he was hammered, he's walking out of the streets. Ah, I'll fuck it. Yeah, I guess I'll smoke crack at. Damn. 4 a. Yeah. You should give a friend that did similar? My buddies, two of my buddies did it on the beach when we were kids like high school. They smoked crack on the beach from homeless guy. Yeah. Nice. Damn.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they said my, one of my, I'm not gonna say his name. I like the home, I could have the homeless could be like,

I can buy you guys beer they're like, no, no, no, no, no, no, we're gonna do crack. Yeah, yeah. Like, the homeless guy comes out to them,

he's like, can you guys just get my back with Sun Tend lotion? They're like, whoa, is that crack? He's out. Yeah, you know over here, you fucking rascal.

Yeah. You have any of that? Yeah, my buddy, I can't say his name because he'd kill me if this ever went somewhere. We're not expecting you to be like Bob David I say his full name

You know I have a bad habit of doing that Really? Yeah and all my like stand-up stories Like you say people's real names Well they're all real Sure and I use real names Yeah And like there's a thing in my head Where like if I don't use the name

I don't believe the story Even though they'll never just yeah Like you know what I mean I can't make up things And then believe it enough to commit Yeah yeah Do you if I change names I feel shitty

I feel shitty And I'm not good at change changing names. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because that's, like, the hardest. You've ever tried to writing a script, and then, like, you know what the idea of the script is, but then you get to, like, the names part,

and you're like, I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. Well, then you pick a name and you're like, well, I can't be that name because I fuck, and you know a guy named that guy. And you're like, well, I fucking hate that guy. He can't be my main character. Or you've seen, like a movie with that name. And you're like, well, it sounds like I'm copying that movie.

Yeah. Yeah, dude. Yeah, dude. Yeah, dude. Yeah, dude. Yeah, dude. Yeah, dude. Yeah, no, I had one where I wrote a whole script with this guy.

I have a friend named Cord Davis or did. He died. But I wrote this guy named Corey Davis in the script. And I had no idea that I just wrote it. Like unintentionally, my buddy's like, this is Cord, right? I was like, no. Dude, he has the same name, basically. I never put it together.

I was like, oh, yeah, I just wrote this person into his script completely. That was a love letter. Yeah, it was beautiful. Yeah. It was well, he was still alive. Yeah. Your thoughts on somebody when they're still alive are a little more negative. Yeah, that's true.

He's like it was a porno. Yeah. No, no, it was positive stuff, I would say. But, yeah, no, it was, yeah, script writing kind of sucks. I don't know, I liked doing it. The hard part is there's no payoff. You're like, this will be great one day in 20 years when somebody sees this. Sure.

Yeah, that's what's the best about it is you can write something literally on the way to a show and try it right then. The time between creation and like validation or like testing. Which can be bad sometimes too, because you'll think of something. You'll be like, man, this will be great when I do on stage. And then it doesn't. You're like, it worked outside when I joked. with my friends that are also comedians. My boys.

Yeah. People that like me a lot, they loved it. Yeah, but how nice is it when you actually works? Oh, wow. All right. I'm pretty good. I'm pretty good at rolling the dice. Real quick, that homeless guy outside, what was he, uh, so I saw him and I was saying he

looked like Santa Claus because he had this giant like. He had a cart. Yeah, but like a really big car. Yeah, and it was like three, three levels high of shit. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, it was, dude, I saw a bunch of people with carts over and. Dude, this, this neighbor, it's becoming. I'm so excited for them to try to sell this apartment.

It's gonna be hilarious. Do people have... Oh, somebody will scoop it up right away. No, I know they will, but it's just gonna be funny when they're like, okay, excuse me, sir. It's just like moving crackheads out of the way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're jacketed to fuck up.

God damn, that sucks. Are you taking this TV? Yeah, yeah, you got it. You try to snag it? No, I'm not. I'm just saying, like, come on, you gotta take the TV. Oh, it's ginormous. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're not leaving anything in this house, are you? No, we're not going to reward them for how they fucked us in this building. Yeah. I may leave a pile of cum in the middle of the floor. Nice. Take the radio. You want to have us over? We can all just, you know, send it off.

That would be, they're like, is this your cum on the floor? Oh, my God. I don't even know. No, that was been after me. I don't know. They're like, because we're keeping it. Yeah. Don't try to get it back.

This was here. I'm pretty sure we left this year before. You know, we have a cum policy. No takes. He's back. He's like that's funny. What do you have to be out? November 30th, which is annoying because I'm trying to go back home for Thanksgiving and shit.

So it's like, I don't know, that's always a little frustrating. That is a tough week before. You got to spend Thanksgiving looking for a place. Yeah, fucking blows. Are you, uh, you're from Fort Lauderdale, right? Yeah. Do you love it there? Because I've only been one time.

I went to Mad Decent Block Party and it was a phenomenal time. Went in, like, high school? What's up? Mad Decent in high school? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that was like the last time I've ever heard about that when Flostradamus was headlining? Yeah, that's what it was. Yeah, yeah, I was, remember it was Flaughtradomis and Diplo?

He was going to say, you guys were. Wait, you guys are doing some weird Florida. Wait, isn't Diplos Flaustradamus? No, he's major laser. Major laser, yeah.

There was a year with, this was a festival in Fort Lauderdale. It's called Mad Decent Block Party. It was like an outdoor. It made more of the trashiest festivals. I bet you. Dude, we have a festival called Tortuga. Yeah,

that happens on the beach and it's just country music. And it's funny because it's like, there's no like security. Like people just show, they're like, it's the beach. Oh, yeah, yeah.

You know, like, you know, dock them, like, literally, like, right off the shore. You know what I mean? Yeah, I don't know. But yeah, I remember one year Mad Decent Block Party, this is the last time I ever heard about this festival. It was like, yeah, we got two back-to-back headliners. It's major

laser and Diplo. It is the same guy. And then it came out that he was the same guy. Yeah, yeah. And everybody's like, ah. I know. I was like, what? We paid for both of you. Yeah, and he would have fucking scam. But my first time here about Mad Deac's was I remember my buddy, this one, one of my friends, he took a bunch of research chemicals.

which are fake acid, and then a bunch of my... He had a seizure, but he's like, I'm telling you, before the seizure, sick concert, you got to go. And I was like, all right, sweet. So I remember it was the weirdest thing because I was still in high school, so my parents had to, like, drive me,

but we got a different hotel room than them. Yeah. So it was one of those where, like, all right, well, you know, post up, do our own things. They dropped us off. And my buddy, who went to a school who, like, drug test, so, like, he could only get, like, hammered.

Damn. What kind of school is that? Lake Highland Preparatory School. We're talking, like, metal detectors and shit on the way in. Yeah, it's a good school, yeah. But, oh, no, they they'd have hair tests. Oh, you're so fucked. That's like 90

days. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, that's, you're fucked. Yeah. So he had to get hammered. He could, no, I think months before I went to a concert, he took research chemicals and stayed up all night, like, freaking out. So that's a, that's a, there's a real drug called research

chemicals? No, it's an umbrella term. Got it. They used to be called designer drugs, which sounds way fucking cooler. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, I remember that. Designer drugs. What did, what research chemicals. That sounds like... Yeah, it sounds like you're elaborate. Yeah. Or they're like tying you

up. Yeah. Oh, you think, well, you said gay? Yeah, I don't know. They're like, we're putting it in your butt. Yeah. But I hear research chemical, I think like the Hulk. Like I'm strapping and they're like, you're going to get high as shit at this music festival. We're giving you we're giving you research chemicals. Yeah, that's what they're looking for in the new avatar. Yeah, there's like a scientist like in the sound. They're like, huh, he appears to be rolling

face. Interesting. They're like, no, no, no, don't worry about it. It's for research. Yeah. He hasn't moved his jaw in 48 hours. She's like, it's all right. We're scientists. They're like, what's wrong? They're like, dude, he's nailing our hypothesis. Yeah.

Their next test is about to be right. The next test is seeing if pineapple actually does change the taste of your count. Yeah, yeah. That's the checklist. Those are the cool scientists. Oh, yeah. The research drug scientists. Yeah.

But it is funny because, like, what they are is like, it's an umbrella term. So like a bunch of, it'll be like 2.5i, 2.5c. All these random things that mimic acid and then all these things that mimic Molly. Like, there are, people don't realize it's like not like you could just do molly or acids like there's all kinds of weird things out there like this is r2 45k and then you'll take it and you'll trip balls but you'll also be like you're on molly like it's like there's a whole world of just different things these are all synthetic right yeah yeah but half of them are legal like it's like because like what happens is you could change the molecular structure just like briefly and

they're like looks out this is not methamphetamine this is methamphetamine this is methamphetamine which is not technically against the law that's wild but if you sell something as the other drug then it's illegal. So if you sold tabs of acid, it was a research chemical, you said this was LSD, then you'd get arrested. But if you're like,

no, this is a research chemical, it gets you high, then you could legally sell it, I believe. I don't know the facts on any of this. Let's try that. Let's go,

let's ask that guy down there. He's probably gas. You're just selling it? That's what happens when you buy a lot of research chemicals. Exactly. Dude, you think that guy's a bum, dude,

that guy is so fucking, he has a grant. It's just out there. Well, the government has done research on that guy. That's why he's out of his mind. he's an MK Ultra probably kind of guy But yeah, no, that's Yeah, that's the whole, yeah, I love the idea of you just

selling bags of just like crystal and powders Like teenagers snorting them, the officers come up, you're like, mm-mm, this is technically... No, dude, that's not crank. Yeah, yeah, yeah, these are our lab rats. Yeah, yeah. Just kids biting somebody's face off. Yeah, oh, yeah.

But, yeah, anyways, we went to Mad Decent Block Party and my friend, he just got hammered. I think I drank a bunch too, and then we took this Molly, and it was like, it was funny because the thing of Molly is, I've heard they call it rolling because you go up and then you go down. Okay. And then you come up again and then you go down.

Because it's not, it's never like just, I mean, you do peak at some point, but every time I've done Molly, I've had this where you feel like you're rolling less hard. And then you'll go back into like the music and you'll feel it again. So I remember I went down. I was like, oh, I barely even feel this shit. So I took a bunch more. And then it was like, my eyes were vibrating so much. I couldn't read my phone. Whoa.

And I had to sit down. I'm just talking to some random people. I was like, I lost my friends. Can I please sit with you guys? And they were like, can you be my new friends? but it was as you were saying like riffraff came out

amazing was riffraff the other year you did it no I saw him at I think ultra though I think he was at ultra one year

he's like one of the smaller tents yes have you seen that video of him talking about his invention no he's like

it's called what is it it's like a he's like it's the baby oil water slide it's like you know like

the you go to a fucking nasty ass waterpark he got baby diapers in there and shit this is a water slide for strippers

and your extra, he goes, you can do your, I think he's an extracurricular, he's something like that, he's like, do your extracurriculars there, or something like that. And he's like,

and basically it's all naked women and I'm the D-Chain. He's just like talking about it. Dude, remember when he was in that show from G's to Jens? I want to watch that show, but I can't find it. So you could find like highlights of riffraff,

but you have to purchase the show, the season two off Amazon because he's on season two of it. What is it, three dollars? No, I think it's like 25 bucks, but I'm going to buy. You should. G's the Gents was a good show.

See, it sounded racist when I heard about it because riffraves in it. And then I think when I originally heard about it, they're like MTV takes these hood guys and makes them classy. And makes them classy. But then, but it's run by like a swab black guy, right? Yes. Yeah, that evens it. The same guy who, uh, he was in Fat Albert with Keenan Thompson. See, I don't know James Woods, but I know other fucking important cast members of other movies.

Yeah. I know they'll get movies. Dude, I forgot he was fat out. Keenan Thompson. Yeah, he was fat Albert. Yeah, somebody was telling me they saw him do stand-up, and apparently Bill Cosby told him, because obviously he knew Bill Cosby,

because I assumed they interacted. Cosby was in the movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And he said that, like, apparently Bill Cosby told Kean Thompson, he goes, you're going to get so much pussy that you're going to need two dicks. Just fucking insane.

Like, at the time, he was probably like, oh, that's so cool. Like, Bill Cosby would say that to me. Yeah, yeah, that you find out. You're like, oh, that's really not cool. Why would happen? Yeah, a couple of years. 80 things.

He did a lot of research. Research chemicals. It's not Rehifinal. It's Rehifinal 425. It's the bulletin. Yeah. But we're talking about riffraff. Yeah.

But, yeah, I'm going to watch the show because it seems like right on that. I love everything riffraff. You've never seen from G's the G's the Jets? No, you get one? I never have to, by the way. What is that? Nicotine? No, all right.

That'll, dude, I don't smoke, like, cigarettes at all. so, like, nicotine really affects me. So it'll give me, like, the craziest head buzz. Really? Like, it'll hit, like, I might fall over. I've never, I've never smoked a vape. Really? Are you not even weed?

Nothing? Never even smoked a cigarette. What? Wow. I don't smoke cigarettes very often. Only, like, when I'm, I'll smoke them when I'm either, like, super drunk or, like, I'm just, like, hanging out with friends, and, like, I'll have, like, one. I picture he was, like, a rules guy in, like, a good way.

You're like, look, I like to party, but I got a particular. I've never done drugs. I've only smoked weed. Really? Me too. That's it. No, I've done shrimps. That's not true. I've done shrooms. Never done shrooms. I wish I could say the same. Never done all.

Dude, every time I come here, I find I discover that another drug exists. I have no idea some of the shit that you're talking about. Yeah, yeah. Cocaine, never done it. No. I don't know. I think the only thing that I would say people should try is mushrooms. I got close to doing coke one time. I got close to doing coke one night, but it didn't happen.

Well, yeah. That's an exhilarating story. It wasn't it. I mean, you remember, when we went to school, it was like all over the place, which I imagine how it is in every college, but more so at ours. If somebody not doing Coke now and finding it everywhere, like on the ground?

Like, I just find bags of Coke all the time. Yeah, like, I'll step on like a full gram of Coke, and I'm like, I'm not gonna do anything with this. Yeah, I don't know. For me, it's always been like a money thing. It's never been like a health thing. It's turned into a health thing.

Oh, absolutely. I'm not friends that have died of fentanyl overdose. Yeah, and like, now I'm like, okay, well, now if there was ever a chance. Yeah, now is the worst time. If there was ever a chance, now is not... It's a money thing. My thing is, like, I remember in college,

my buddy, he asked me when we first got there, he's like, I'm gonna try Coke, if you want to get in on it. I'm like, how much is he? He goes, don't me 80 bucks. I go, 80 bucks. Yeah, no. I go, that's all I have.

Yeah, when you're a freshman in college, you've got no money. Yeah, absolutely. See, but you're selling yourself short because these guys out in the street, they find a way. Yeah, but they suck dick to get it. You know what I mean?

Like, I'm not blowing a guy to get Coke. Yeah. Unless I don't really care. Plus, then, you know, nobody sells it well. You know what I mean? Like, no one's like... My favorite is this is always the move of the guy would do. He'd go, I could sell you really pure stuff for $100 or I could give you more cut stuff for $80.

Yeah, and it's always the same batch. And he just says, like, this is the more pure stuff. And we're like, all right, so I'm going to buy the $80 word. Because, like, you're not... You're cutting all of it. Yeah, of course. Yeah. And then you find out it's, like, cut with, like, baby laxative.

You know, like, I'm like, making soda. And I'm like, I don't want... Like, no. Like, I've never gone under my sink. seen a box of baking sort of like, what this needs to go. Put in me. I'm glad I did it for like, you know,

the six years that I did. Like, it was fun. But I'm like, I have no desire to do it again because unless like celebrity would be the only one. If like a crazy celebrity is like, hey, would you like to do this for me? I'm never going to see him again. Like if a president, you don't know what I mean?

Like if George Bush. When you said crazy celebrity, the last thing I thought of was a fucking politician. If my congressman comes up to me. Dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. If I meet Eric Adams, he's like, you want to do a line?

I mean, I can't say no to that. Actually, I would. Yeah, right? If I'm in a bathroom and Eric fucking Adams is like, you want to do some Coke? Yeah. All right. I'm not, yeah, I'm not saying like if I see, uh, I don't know, a minor celebrity. You know what I'm not going to do like Coke with like, yeah, some extra from Batman returns or something.

Yeah. I've been in those situations, but only with weed and I don't really smoke weed, but in those situations, I've been like, I'm going to smoke this joint with this person. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, yeah, that makes sense too. Yeah. Yeah, I wonder who, but I wonder where my baseline is, though, with celebrity. Because as I said, I'm not going to do it with, like, just anybody.

Sure. I would do it if it was, like, a big time celebrity. Like an A-List person? Yes. Okay. Or A-O-C. Or A-O-C. Somebody-A-O-C.

Again, with the politicians. Yeah, he just loves them. It's almost funnier if it's this B-List or C-List celebrity, though. You know what I mean? Yeah. I'm trying to think of James Woods. Somebody like that. Dude, I just did Coke with Carson.

Daly. Yeah. Yeah. Who's the guy from Corey in the house? Oh, Kyle Massey. Yeah. Oh my God.

Do you want to hear a funny story? Yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. Actually, I don't. Please don't fill my podcast with a funny story. I don't, I don't remember Kyle Massey. I don't remember which one of my friends it was, but they, so my friend, she used to

hang out with Kyle Nassie. Oh, shit. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I forgot, you were coming from LA. There's all kinds of crazy.

Well, yeah, but one of my good friends I grew up with in Florida, she moved out to LA before I did because she's like a year older than me and her best friend was dating this like pop singer from our hometown who like got he popped off when he got to LA he started hanging out with all these celebrities like he was like the first person I ever met

who showed me that celebrities get a Chipotle Card Chipotle for Life card. Oh, you serious? Yeah, yeah, he gave it to my friend and she would just buy everybody Chipotle Oh my God. Yeah, like it was like the first time I was with Kyle Massey gets sweat.

That's kind of low bar. It was like the first time like I was hanging with somebody in LA and I was like, oh, this is La La Land. Yeah. Like, this is what it's all about. And then, you know, I was talking to the kid, because we all hung out, you know, when I first got out there. And he was, like, I was like,

oh, I see, like, you would hang it up with fucking Kyle Massey. And he was like, yeah, dude, like, you want to hear a fight story? And I was like, yeah, and he goes, dude, so we're doing shrooms, right? It's like, me and Kyle. Like, we did a lot of fucking shrooms. And we're literally at the top of Mahal and Drive, which is like the, like, if you ever seen, like a movie that takes place in LA. It's like the, like the, where people drive their cars and they look over like all of

L.A. It's like, like, go make out or something like that. He's like, yeah. So me and Kyle Massey were like, looking over a mall and drive and we're tripping on troops like high as fuck. And then all of a sudden, Kyle like starts freaking out. He goes, Jesus Christ. And flashbacks to filming Corey in the house. Yes. Well, yes. Dude. Dude. Seriously. And my buddy looks over at him. He's like, what's up, dude? He goes, dude, for a second, like, I thought I was back on the set of Corey in the house. he fully believed for like a second that they were like in an episode of course

and then the title sequence he's like Corrie Corrie Corrie in the house Yeah yeah yeah Yeah Was that the one where they were like His dad was a chef in the White House? Yes that's what the world was too Remember that

In a fantasy fun Disney world Black people could only be the chefs The parents are still white Yeah In that world like you can do whatever you want Yeah And you're like no there's still gonna be the chefs And the son of the chef

Well also wasn't that like that existed in the same universe as that's so Raven, right? Yes. It was the show that pre- The Ravenverse, yes. Yeah, it was after Raven. So how, did they ever explain where the fuck the mom and sister went? It was like a messy divorce.

What's really funny is the dad, so basically I think the dad and Corey moved to D.C. Because the dad gets a job as head chef at the White House. Okay. Raven and the mom stay back in San Francisco. Right. But what was even, that's fine, right? But then what's weird is that

You remember the little menace kid, Randall? He's like the little black kid in role models. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, Randall ends up at the White House with the family. Oh, that's weird. He's not like a little brother. Yeah, yeah. He's like the little menace.

He just hitchiked his way across the country. He's like Winslow and Cat Dog. Like, he's just like, that'd be like if Cat Dog moved to the White House and Winslow was just at the White House. Damn. Yeah. I barely remember any of those shows.

But like, yeah. That's okay. So probably not. I don't know, but then it's kind of funny to do Coke with like, that guy did Coke with Jamie Lynn Spears. That's a very funny person to like. Yeah. Like,

it's almost funnier than being like, yeah, with, you know, I don't know. What came to my mind is like Kid Rock, but that's also not a giant celebrity. Like in my head, I was like. That would probably be awesome. Oh, yeah, yeah. That would, he probably knows that far. Apparently has a house is like the replica of the White House.

Really? Yeah, he has a Michigan, I think. Yeah, yeah, yeah. His entrance to Woodstock 99. is the coolest entrance anyone has ever done. He puts a hat on a cane that stays there and he's got like a little person with him. Yes, and he's got like the fucking like the biggest fur coat. Yeah.

And he just walks out. Oh, dude, it's the coolest video. I was talking to somebody about him because he got like, somebody was like mad at him for something. Like, I think he said something inappropriate, but it's like, shocking. Could you imagine telling Kid Rock he's politically incorrect? This guy's insane. Like, you know what I mean? Like, literally he has a golden shower in his house.

It's literally a golden shower. Like it's made out of gold. It's a $42 million private jet, I think. Good Lord. Is he running for office? I'm voting for him. I swear I heard that he was like trying to run for something. I don't think so because if Trump runs, he's not going to run.

Yeah, he'll stand down. Stand down. Proud boys and kid rock. Stand down. I hear he's a really nice guy. Of course. Probably. Yeah, I heard he's like super nice.

I mean, he's just like insane. Like he has one rap song where he's like, I'm that N-word with like a insane clown posse. But you're also like, okay, he's a white guy. from Detroit is probably out of his mind. It's like to sit down to that person be like, no, we're going to teach you things. Like, no, he's like, I'm Kid Rock. He's got nothing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. His bar in Nashville

is like the best bar on Broadway. He shows up, right? Doesn't he, like, show up occasionally? I don't know. I, every time I get blacked out there, I just end up throwing oranges at the bartenders. What? That's a specific thing. I'm like singing the wagon wheel as I'm like throwing oranges and limes at the bartenders

to get their attention. Damn. Yeah. Oh, little slices. I picture full oranges you bring you bring with you where you guys keep in the back somewhere where's the little person from woodstock yeah they have like their garnish like on the bar you know just take it yeah it's a great bar but hold us closer to your mouth oh yeah oh dude yeah um i always get so much we always having fun riffs

and i'm like yeah yeah yeah but hold the microphone correctly you're on this podcast okay the audio is key i want to go Nashville i would love Nashville you've never been no oh it's the best I went when I was a kid. Yeah, I'm aware it's not the same as going as like an adult. Yeah, I mean, for sure. It's just nowhere it is. Yeah, I mean, imagine going to New Orleans as a kid?

What the fuck are you going to do? Yeah, fuck that now. But the people would take their kids to Vegas. What are you nuts? Yeah, that's insane. I've never been to Vegas as an adult. That's so funny to be like, I have enough money to blow it at Las Vegas, but I don't have enough money to pay for a babysitter for like three days.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, let's be honest. I don't think people that are going to Vegas are always making the shrewdest financial decisions. That is true. That is true. Vegas is trash. Yeah.

Like, if you go to Vegas, you will see it is white trash. I've been to Vegas for about 30 minutes when we got, we got off the plane, got a round of car. And lost all your money. At the airport, you put it down on, like, a table. Now, we flew into Vegas to go to Sequoia National Park. Okay. Can you? That would be cool, by the way.

This is unrelated. It is related. But I think Vegas at the airport, they should have, do they have gambling? They do. Oh, yeah, absolutely. It's lost. Absolutely. You never seen like Oceans 13.

13. Nah, I always, no, I'm never into those movies. Oh, dude, those are the first, 11 and 13 are great. I'm a trashy guy, and they're, they're not, not they're like particularly classy, but I've never gone into James Bond, Oceans, heisty, kind of like,

I love a good high school, yeah. I'm not into like the whole like, oh, I'm a gentleman, blah, blah, blah. I did watch the movie The Gentleman last weekend, though. I like that. Is that about, like, selling weed in the 80s in England? Yeah, as a Cockney British guy. I haven't seen it, but it looks really good. A lot of fun.

I feel like selling weed in the 80s and Britain is the same as it is now. Yeah. Like they, like, I had a full-on argument with my cousin's girlfriend while I was over in London this summer. They're from London. Yeah. And we just had a full-on argument about weed. And I'm not a smoker. As in, like, I was backing up weed.

She was like, one of my friends is, she has permanent schizophrenia from marijuana. I go, I think your friend was just schizophrenic for the beginning. Yeah, yeah. That doesn't happen. That is a silly thing because, like, I, like, I had a friend with schizophrenia. and then he smoked pot and then later he had schizophrenic, or I think it may have been

somewhere tied in there he had a schizophrenic episode but he also smoked pot when he was like 10 or 12, I smoked pot and he was like we were 14 we smoked pot together

and then like years later he smoked pot and had schizophrenia episode. I'm like, I don't think you can have schizophrenia and it just laid dormant forever.

Yeah. You know what I mean? They're like you have schizophrenia but it's benign. Yeah. I don't think that way. I will say that I forget that because I smoke

weed probably every other day if not like every night like when I get home. That's what so. That's good. I'm fucking cool, dude. I'm fucking cool, dude.

Just the refra his podcast. But just like, I forget that it's, like, it's still drugs. Oh, yeah. Like, I do drug. Like, when you say it like that, I'm like, I do drugs every night. Like, that's weird. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, I forget that it's, like, it's a mind-altering substance, although tame, but, like, it's still drugs, which is hilarious.

No, for sure, yeah. Well, that's my thing with it, too, is because, like, I smoke pot to go to sleep. I smoke pot take you out. Oh, yeah. And then people were like, well, that's, you shouldn't do that every night. I'm like, well, that's, the alternative is NyQuil. You know what I mean?

It's like, which I do also. I balance out. I'll like, I'll do that once a week. Of course. Of course. We don't know. Yeah, because it's like, yeah, it might be bad for your sleep. But like, what is, I don't know.

It's like, so it was not sleeping at all. It's not that. It's not that it's bad for sleep. It's like, I can be groggy the next morning. You know what is so funny. I've been smoking pot every night for the last like. That is funny. That's not it for like four years.

And then I've quit. I've cut out. other things in my life. Like, I'm like, okay, I'll, you know, take the sleeping medicine way less. I'll make that less often. And, like, the other day, I exercised, I drank coffee. I got a great night of sleep before. I just smoked pot and took a meltdown.

And it never occurred to me that smoking pot is making me groggy the next day. Oh, yeah. I don't know why I've never, until you said that, registered it. Oh, yeah. Like, it'll, yeah. I'm going to take a break from smoking weed. I don't know why I never. Holy shit.

Whoa. Probably because I'm smoking weed That's why I just never crossed my mind Because I'm like, yeah, totally, what? Yeah. I don't think it doesn't, I don't think it kills brain cells But it probably just, it's not It's probably not like awesome

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I don't think it's like, I don't think a physician would recommend you doing it every single day all the time No, for sure, yeah, yeah, and I do it every night to fall asleep So I'm like, all right, I probably shouldn't do that Or you could ease up on it, take like a little month break Yeah, because it's like,

No matter what I do, I, like, if I go somewhere else, I don't even take a break. I'm like, all right, who can I buy from weed in this town? I just do it all the time. Well, I also think sometimes I'm like, oh, I don't know if I can fall asleep without this. But then, like, if I go on vacation or, like, I go back to Ohio and, like, I say with my parents, I'm not, like, spoken weed in their house. So, like, and I go to sleep just fine. See what I do.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'll get, like, my buddy has, like, a medical thing, so I'll, like, go. Yeah. It's funny. I like the picture that I'm just, like, bullying some guy in a wheelchair. I'm like, can you give him my fucking pot over here now? It's like, I don't care how long it. Oh, you need it?

No, pick it up for me. No, I need it. Yeah, no, but yeah, I always just get like a pen or like edibles from him. And then I just, yeah. But yeah, I'm going to try it. I'm try a week without weed. Yeah, there was a while probably this summer. A quick comedy.

You just see me in like a suit. I'm like, I've changed. My potential, I've not been. You guys could learn a lot for me. Yeah. Yeah, I got, I stopped for like, like two or three months because it was just, I don't know, it was freaking

me out. I was getting like really weird. I don't think it's not it's not that it's not safe. I'm kidding. It's just that it fucks with my, it was really fucking with my head. The worst thing I ever learned. So like when I was a kid we do whippets all the time, drink, and do all kinds of dumb stuff. And

so stuff like that apparently can kill brain cells, alcohol too. No shit. Allegedly. Allegedly. Somebody told me they go, they go, yeah, but actually would happens is your other brain cells pick up the slack from the dead brain cells. And I just ran with that idea.

I'm like, oh, we're good. I don't have to worry about brain cells, I guess. Because, you know, the other ones are taking over. My other ones are really picking up the slack on this. Because you know what they say about brain cells is you're born with too many of them. You don't need all. I don't be greedy with my brain cells. Yeah.

You just get hit in the head with the hammer. You're like, don't worry. I got a lot of these. We're fine. That's the. counter to CTE. Yeah. No, dude.

They're working overtime. It's fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I, uh, did you do sports? You seem like, you know, football guy. The hockey. Hockey.

Hockey. Yeah. Is CTE big in hockey? Kind of. Uh, mainly for, like, guys that are, like, bruisers. There was like a whole, uh, okay.

So bruises, are those like, fighters. Fighters, yeah, yeah, yeah. I just saw the movie goons. Yeah. Goons. Yeah. Brusers.

So, is that wasn't like a, is that a Canadian slang thing? Um, I don't know where it comes from. How much hockey slang do you know? All of it? I don't know any of it, but it's funny. It was funny because I was at my golf club that I work at the other day, and this guy comes into the pro shop.

You can always tell when somebody's played hockey when they kind of have like this. Canadian accent. It's not, yeah, but it's not, yeah. I mean, this guy happened to be from Canada, but like there are guys that just have this accent and they're not from Canada. Sure. They're like, boys. They end every sentence with Bud.

Yeah. Like, what's up, bud? Yeah, how you doing, bud? Yeah, they walk into the pro shop. Hey, boys, how's it going? Morning, yeah. Hey, can I pay for this lid? They're talking about hats.

Yeah. Hats are lids. Yep. Or a bucket. By the way, this guy sounds like he has CTE. Yeah. The way you're described. No, yeah, for sure.

Have you seen Letterkenny? No. Dude, you got to watch Letterkenny. Dude, I'm telling you, I am the worst when it comes to, like, good movies. Like, my friends hate me. They're like, dude, you haven't seen this, this, this? And I'm like, no. And then they're like, but have you seen like, I'm like, name a Disney channel.

The house. Name a Disney Channel movie. Literally. Fucking luck of the Irish. I'm all in. Little vampire? Let's go. Johnny Capahala back on board.

Smart House is on tonight. Yeah, dude. Fucking, yeah. My name with the president's daughter? Dude, that's a good movie. Yeah, dude. That's a good movie. Thank you.

I've seen it all. I always like luck of the Irish. There's also swimming one. There's always the same plot to these movies, right? It's like this guy finds out his grandpa's a lot. as a leprecon or a werewolf. And then he also is playing a sport and he has to balance the two.

Yeah. Because he gets like really good at the sport, but it's like, no, you can't be a mermaid because you'll lose other things in your life for somebody like that. It's the best.

There's one where he's like a werewolf. That's Teen Wolf. I was thinking to Teen Wolf too. I didn't like Teen Wolf. You remember RJ Burger MTV? It was about the nerd. It was just a nerd who has a big. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

That was the whole plot of the show. Dude, TV used to be sick. Yeah. Oh, dude, to be in that pitch meeting. To be in that pitch meeting. Dude, yeah. All right. Yeah, but he's a nerd, right?

Yeah, but he's hogging out. And they're like, we can work with that. Is this about you, Thomas? He's like, no, no, no. That's when you started to see, like, films started to become more diverse. Right. And inclusive.

Yeah, again, but why? Nerds can have big hogs, too, dude. Yeah, dude. No, but Letterkenny rips. It's a show. I think it's on Hulu or something, but it's like a Canadian show, and it's just a bunch of...

Like a Canadian, always sunny to an extent? Yeah. Is it hockey players? Yeah, I mean, yeah, a lot of them play... I mean, it's based in Canada, so they've all got... Yeah, that's what I'm surprised being for Fort Lauderdale you're playing hockey, because, like, I know obviously we have, like, it's big.

It's big. But I didn't know that, like, it's big. Yeah. Florida hockey's pretty big. My cousin hates you, by the way. My cousin's from Michigan. Yeah. And he has rules for sports, like, who you can root for in sports.

Like, if you don't have a vested interest in the game, just like, who should you root for? And one of the rules is you can't root for a hockey team that can't make its own ice. This is a stupidest dumb rule. No, dude, it's fucking great. It's indoors. It's wrong.

You're not making your own ice either. Nah, it's wrong. But yeah, they are. Okay, so then if you're not from a state that has pool heating, then does that mean you also can't? Yeah, you probably shouldn't do it. Yeah, your cousin can, by the way, this brain cell stuff is really clicking with me now.

Because now I really can't even describe indoor heating. Like, I was like, you're at the pool. You know the pool where it's... Yeah, but because I'm from voice. Florida. I understood exactly. I was like, I know what he's going for. I was like, I get it. Yeah, I think the same way.

To be fair, I also got like, no sleep. So I'm going to give myself that. Amen. I don't know what it is. Every day I record the podcast, I get the worst night of sleep than I. Like, it sounds like my life's in shambles. By the way, listeners, my life's going great. I don't always take shots at 7 a.m.

Did you just get fired? I don't want to be a dick. I got fired. But I'm on top of the world. Of course, I'm having a great time. You have to be. Yeah, for sure. But also, every time they're listening, it sounds horrible.

Yeah. It's just, and it's not even intentional. It's like, I went to bed at like, I think it was like one last night. For me, that's not bad. It was just I woke up. Yeah. I was in bed early last night. And that's the only reason I got this going right now is nicotine because I'm like,

dude, my brain is just not. And I care more about the podcast and my own hell. You know what? I'm interested. I'm going to take, I'm going to take a hit. Oh, yeah. I can, Alex, try to eat a Zen pouch on here one time. Ew.

He ripped it open, try to eat the beads inside. Why is he? Was he high on something? No, he didn't know how to do it. So he's like, Alex, eat the inside of this stick. Dude, I would have been like, can you not do that in my house? You're going to throw up. That guy still has a problem.

He threw up? He threw up? What's up? Yeah. Or I think he was a, he told me he didn't, but he for sure did. Is there a button or do I just pull? No, no, you just suck it. There it is. That's how it starts.

He's going to be addicted by next week. Oh, for sure. He's going to have one. No, it's going to go straight to my head. I always, I buy these. I throw them away, but I caught myself when I'm throwing it away and then digging it out of the trash. And I was like, all right. It's another thing. It's a money thing.

Those are like 20 bucks, right? How much are those? 20 bucks? 10 bucks. Still a lot of money. Good Christ. I'm not a cheap guy, but on stuff like that. I'm not spending money on that. Yeah, I get it. Yeah.

That's probably not good for you. I always ask from like, what's the cheapest nicotine vaporizer you have? Yeah. Oh, we got this one that, like, for sure, has horrible chemicals in it. Yeah, absolutely. This one's made of pure metal. It's just metal shards. What's the most money you spent on one thing? Oh, I sold my car for a pair of roller skates.

$1,000 bucks. God damn. Wait, what? $1,000 dollar roller blades. Your car was only $1,000? I got $3,000 for it. Oh, okay, I was concerned. Yeah, I was like, wow.

And I sold it to get these rollerblades. That sounded like a line from Blues Brothers. Whereas like, I traded this car for a microphone. Whoa. I like, you traded the car for rollerblades. Be like, this idiot. I'm gonna be, fucking. The car doesn't even work.

That'd be so funny. He's trying to start it. You roll it. The roller braids are an upgrade in transportation. Yeah, like, ha-ha, dick, yeah. Yeah, my best friends from back home during the pandemic, they wanted to put together a hockey team and play in the national tournament for our best friend who passed away back in 2016.

They were like, let's do a team for chance. We'll call it the Wolf Pack because his last name was Wolf. And he's like, and my buddy's like, yeah, come on. Like, it's only like 80 bucks to like join in on the tournament. And I was like, I need new skates. I have no skates. And he was like, come on. Like, you got to be able to get skates.

And then the pandemic happened. Because the pandemic happened, roller hockey became obsolete. Wait, how does that relate? Because it was thriving beforehand? Well, it wasn't. It wasn't when he thriving beforehand. And right before the pandemic happened, roller hockey was going down the shatter. Then the pandemic happened, and there was a big revival of roller hockey because all the ice

rinks shut down. You couldn't play hockey. So everybody was getting roller skates to go play in the parks or like playing streets. Yeah, that's just what Big Blade wants you to think, though. Yeah. And then, yeah, so they jacked up all the prices and whatever was left on the shelves was the last roller hockey equipment that was being sold. Oh shit. And so

I got to the party late and the only thing that this, that the main hockey company had left was these $900 pair of skates. And I told my friends, I was like, they only have $9 a dollar pair of skates. Like, I can't do it. And then I looked at my car and I was like, I want to get rid of this thing. I was like, boys, I'm coming.

So it was like an impulse decision. Oh, big time. Wow. Yeah. Well, I know. So did you think the roller skates were going to be gone forever? What do you mean? Or maybe I misunderstood. You said that there were only a certain amount of these left. Yeah, there were a certain amount of those left, and I needed a pair for the tournament, or I couldn't play. The time crunch is that he needed to play in this tournament, and that tournament only happened one time.

So this was his only option. Yeah, I needed to sell my car anyway, and I was like, this is the perfect reason to sell my car. That's wild. Yeah. This is when you were still in Florida? I was in L.A. L.A. And then I drove cross-country to go play in the tournament.

We drove my buddy's car. Damn. Yeah. That's wild. Yeah, man My Nissan Ultima Hotel Ultima We used to take that car to places

And sleep in it I bet Yeah I've done that I've done that I actually I've slept A couple times But yeah

It's kind of fun Oh dude Five of us in my Nissan Ultima We put the seats back Oh Put the seats down Awful

Put some mattress to hoppers in it We put three of us in the back Like in the trunk Like ass to dick Yep And then two of my buddies Would sleep in my front seats Wow

Nice We drove on a whim To the Stanley Cup To go see Nashville against Pittsburgh. You do so many adventures. I love checking out

your Instagram because you're always like doing shows over here but also like live it. You ran with the Bulls. Ran with the Bulls this year. Can we before I forget, can we keep that in the back of our mind? Yeah, of course.

Yeah, did you have anything we were to say before that? No, nothing. I mean, I was just reminiscing on my car. I got a little emotional for Zegas. I was like, fuck, I should sell those skates back at that car, man. I like that.

Bad is just hitting this and getting really into it now. He's just like, oh, I'm like, yeah. I'm in, baby. You're going to waste all as puffs. No, you're fine, you.

I'm throwing this out. Like, I literally just, I just bought this. The first, like, three seconds is just like it, feel it in my eyes.

Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm literally, this is only for this episode. Yeah, I just, I know I've got no sleep, so I want to make sure this one. I feel it.

Christ, dog. But yeah. With the fucking bulls. Running with the bulls, dude. Yeah. Matt over here is running with the cucks. Yeah.

I'm running with the pussies, dude. I can't even handle nicotine. Yeah. Well, it was, I don't know, I've always wanted to do it. And I have, like, my friend group back at home.

There's, like, 18 of us. Yeah, yeah. And, uh, so we, I think we come from similar things. Because I have, I have a friend group chair right now, filled with like 20 people. Same. But they're like, some of my best friends. Yes. Yeah, yeah, all of us best friends.

We've all known each since childhood. Or like, the earliest that any of us, like, the latest any of us have ever met is high school. So it's like anywhere from, like, pre-K to high school. Like, we've all been friends since at least one of those times. That's wild. Did you emerge? Because, like, what I had was. I had middle school friends, and I switched schools, and then I kind of, like, merged.

Was it like that, or did you guys all go to the same? Yeah, we kind of, like, a few of us went to the same school, and then there's a whole other part of the group that went to different schools, and we all just kind of, like, merged. I am friends with, like, four people from high school. That's fine, too. I mean, honestly, dude, like, and he knows this, like, it just sets you up to be sadder. Yeah, you know what I mean? You have more friends die.

Yeah, you have more friends die. In addition to that, it's like one of those things that it's like, I don't know, I think it is, yeah, it's this weird thing where I don't know, it's sadder. Like you, I have such an attachment to my hometown just because I've, a lot of my friendships are like there. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, I think it almost makes it, I don't know. You guys have had like, I've only had like, this is going to sound mean, but I've only had like secondary friends. Oh, I know that.

You know what I mean? Yeah. I've never had like a good buddy die. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is great. Your comedy will get better. Yeah. You instantly get 15 minutes, dude.

Like, it's cut out one of those fucking six. Watch what happens. Dude. Yeah. It does get bad. It is, it's ironic. It has to. Yeah, of course it does.

Of course it does. Like, for me, I was like, dude, one of my best friends has killed himself. Like, am I really going to be nervous about this audience right now? Yeah, I don't care. Bigger shit to deal with. So you're like, yeah, whatever. Fuck you with the blue hat in the front row. Dude, I'm...

I wasn't saying you. Oh, yeah. The first one's the worst. Sure. You don't know what to do. See, I had the opposite because I had... the first person I knew that died that I was close with was like actually I had it further away

like one of my friends' dads died that I really liked so that was I had everything was preparing me for like it got I got closer and closer so for me the last one was the hardest because it's one of the closest dude I have such limited experience with death like my grandpa is the only relative that's died like right I still have three living grandparents which is crazy and then my cat died last year

Other than that, like, everything is alive. Yeah. So, like, I... You can't die of COVID? No. That's not funny. I knew you should have gotten vaccinated. No, she just died.

Oh, okay. Well, no, she was... January 6th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, she... Just to pick any bad thing that's happened in the last 18 months. My cat died in not.

She was there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, dude, the funniest thing about when my cat died was, oh, fucking, you were part of this. So.

Okay. I hope not. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. In a very funny way. The funniest part is I let Brandon watch my cat. So what happened was? Brandon murdered that cat. No, so my cat dies.

And I couldn't host... I was supposed to host the mic at the pair. And I couldn't host a mic. And so I texted, like, the guys are like, hey, can anybody host the mic today or whatever? And Ryan O'Toole hosted the mic. And Ryan, at the mic, said, Hey, Bowman's not here today,

because his dad died. He told the whole mic that my dad died. And so, like, I show up, like, a day later or something to the pair. And I'm just kind of like... People were just sharing poems with you about death and, like, really sweet things. And I didn't know that Ryan told people that my dad died. I did not know this. And then, like, multiple people.

And, like, I think you came up to me. And, like, you gave me, like, a really, like, deep, passionate hug. I did. It's going to be okay. You're like, yeah, you were like, buddy. It's going to be all right, man. Like, I know it's going to be hard right now. But you're going to get through it.

It's totally... I'm like, dude, thank you so much. and then later on Ryan was like, oh, by the way, I told Brandon that your dad died. Oh, shit. You're branded in 30 other people. Yeah. Because, like, Adam, Christopher, and Mia, like, both texted me.

And they were like, dude, I'm so, if you need anything, let me know. The whole time, I'm like, oh, my God, people really care about my cat. And then when I told people, people were like, oh, you're sorry about your dad. I'm like, my dad didn't die. My cat died. And they were like, oh, you're fine. I'm like, no, I'm destroyed right now. This is the closest thing that's died.

Yeah. I love the way you're describing Like, because you're probably like, yeah, really sucks. You don't know that he thinks it's your dad. Yes. Yeah, man, I mean, there's a lot less shit in my apartment. But yeah, no, he's, uh, but like you're, like, he still thinks it's your dad.

You're saying all this weird shit about like your dad. Well, uh, I, I, I need to do it again, but like I was trying it as a bit, but I was too close to it. So it was like, it was too sad and not funny. But like, one of the, I was kind of going with that thing of just like, yeah, she lived a great life and him being like, she. I'm sure she did

Good for her Whatever Yeah Oh your dad died No it was my cat Oh I Oh you're fine You'd be getting any pussy lately

Yeah Yeah Animals dying does suck though Like it does Totally And it was super unexpected Like she She was fine on Monday

And was dead on Thursday Damn Yeah What is it I feel like animals You never get like A full answer With complications

That are like Well so we She had like diabetes and we didn't know and then she, so that like weakened her immune system and then she got like a random infection and it just shut everything down.

So. Was your cat fat? I don't know a lot about diabetes. So like she was actually losing weight because like she was sick. Her some people say they need sugar. Some people say they can't have it. I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is. I think there's two different. There's type two and. Two is the one where you

develop it. That's when you get really fat. Oh, is that what it is? Yeah. That's when you're on track for that. Yeah. So you're, what are you pre-diabetic or something? Probably. Yeah. I haven't had a blood work done a while. But yeah, the type one is you're born with it. Because, like, my buddy is, like, fucking rail thin, but he's a diabetic.

My buddy is he was born with it. My buddy is born with it. And in high school, he used to, at lunch, he used to fucking prick himself. Yeah. And, like, test his blood sugar before eating food. What was crazy was that he was fat. I was like, how are you fat? If, like, you are, like, if I knew I had something like that, I'd be the healthiest

motherfucker a lot. Yeah. This could fuck me. Yeah. Yeah. Like, how are you doing that and then eating a brownie? No, you know what I hate to...

No, let's get back to running with the bulls. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's how my cat died. Yeah. That's a trip. Yeah, dude. My friend group before our best friend Juan passed away.

My friend group is known for like, we do a lot of trips together. My friend group is known for people dying. That is that too. Ironically. A lot of pros die. But, um... Yeah, we had been taking trips since our junior year of college.

We started with St. Patty's Day in Ireland. Oh, fuck, yeah. And then we threw Amsterdam in the mix of that trip. That's cool. Yeah, and then after we got off that trip, we did the whole thing. Everybody was saying the same thing. Like, oh, when's the next one? We get back to school that week.

End up finding round trip tickets to Greece for $750 in August. That's awesome. And we were going to Greece. So we all booked Greece. Went to Greece that August. Did London and Greece in the same trip. Because we planned it out. We're like, we had a 24-hour layover.

London. We're like, oh, we hit London and Greece, whatever. Did Greece. It was great. And then obviously, you know, we graduate and then everybody's doing life, whatever. It's now, like, 2018. Now we all plan a trip. We were like, let's do Octoberfest and then build around that.

So we always, like, build around, like, one thing. In an event. Yeah. So we did October fest. And then from that, it turned into, oh, let's do Dublin again, Amsterdam again. And then we'd say Budapest, Prague, Prague, Paris. Yeah, Budapest, Prague, and Paris. And we did that.

And then COVID hit. And then when COVID was going on, we were all home. That was after the hockey tournament. I went home. And we were all like drinking and hanging out. This was before my buddy Juan died. We were all sitting at a table. And we were like, all, when's the next trip?

Like, what are we doing? And then we were all like, oh, dude, we got to go run with the Bulls. Like, it's the one thing. Yeah, let's lose a couple more of our friends. Yeah. And that was the joke because I was like, when Juan died before the running with the Bulls because he wants us to go die.

with him. You know what I mean? Like, he really wants us to see him again, you know. So we all, like, kind of sat around the table and, like, planned it out. We were like, oh, we could hit. We could hit Spain. We could do Barcelona. And we could run with the Bulls and then do Ibiza to go celebrate.

Sure. And then, and then. But he was planned to go on the trip. He was planned to go on the trip. He was planned to go on the trip. Yeah, he was planned to go on the trip. And then, and then that was 20, that was 20. Whenie.

Fuck. Yeah. God damn. It was 2020. And so then, yeah, after that, we were kind of all sad, whatever. And then last year. But that brings a friend of my experience. Like, everybody gets closer.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we were all like, oh, like this is, we have such a short amount of time. Sure. To like you do all this stuff. Like, let's just fucking do it. Plus, this is the last trip he wanted to do.

Let's fucking pull trick. So then last year, I'm on a train. I'll never forget. I was headed into World Trade Center. and I'm getting on the train and my buddy calls me. He goes, hey, me and, uh, there's my buddy Stu. He goes, me and Griff, like, are at the bar. We just book tickets to Spain.

We're running with the Bulls. And I go, what? He goes, book it. It's 380. Like, book it. It's 380 one way. Just like book it right now and then we'll worry about the rest later. I wonder, no wonder you like heist movies.

That's a line out of a hyphen group. Well, because it starts, because like the way it starts is like, we all talk about a trip. And then it doesn't happen. Like, we don't, we don't, nobody books it. Of course not. Yeah. And then. You really got to be the guy who...

No, you gotta be the guy who books it. Yeah. Like, if you book it... Because then people feel left out. If they don't even two people are going, they're like, fuck, I want to join. I want to join. Yeah. So then that kind of snowballs, yeah, it gets everybody to come.

And then the people who are, like, still on the outs of it, who are still, like, fucking weird about it, we kind of get them by saying, oh, this Wands trip. Yeah, you got a bit Swans trip. So, yeah, so then what ended up happening was we booked... By the way, I just want to comment on that, because I have a... couple of friends, too. I love them, but they always piss me the fuck off, because I'm like, do you know how much fun this thing we're going to do is going to be? And they're like,

yeah, I just, I'm like, you can make it happen. Like, I get it if you really have that. There's always those people. Yeah, but it's always, it's never, a lot of times it's not even the people that don't have money. It's like, a lot of times just the guy being like, it sounds like a whole thing. Because it's a thing. Yeah. And to be honest, I would probably be that guy. Yeah, yeah. Because it's a thing

and I don't like things that I've, like, it's an obligation, like, you know what I mean? But once you get there, it's the fucking tips. Yeah. It's just the whole thing of getting, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So we all, like, I think by that night, like, we started the day with, like, three people having booked it.

And then by the end of the night, we had, like, 11. Wow. Holy shit. Yeah. And so, it was just a one-way ticket. We just had a one-way ticket to Pamplona. And we were like, all right, cool. Like, let's, and then we'll reconvene in, like, in a couple months to find out what the next part of the trip is. Sure. And so then it became, oh, let's go

to Ibiza. So then one-by-one, everybody starts booking Ibiza. Because now that you're, that you're locked in, you have to book the next flights. Yeah, sure. Because you don't want to be left out of the trip. So we booked De Beza, Barcelona, and then and then what ended up happening

was my buddy Stu, like literally like a few months ago, back in May, we left in July. Back in May hits me up, he goes, we gotta go back to Greece. Juan loved Greece. And I go, I mean, I'm down, but the whole group's not going to be down. We're already 10 days in for booking. Like, wait, have you

you, have you gotten to the running? I'm going to get to it. So anyway, so I'm not going to tell you speeding it. I'll make sure I didn't miss it. No, no, no. So we ended up like, we ended up booking Greece. But what happened was I go, I'll only book Greece if like, if I could do like stand-up. Sure. Oh, that's right.

Yeah. And so my buddy goes, should we hit up bars out there to see if you can like get up? And I was like, yeah, like let's just hit him up. So we've been there before. So we know what bars to hit up. So my buddy hits up like seven bars. We get, he goes, I have, I manage a stand-up comedian from New York City. He wants to do a comedy show.

if you guys will have him. Totally. Yeah, yeah. But, like, he's not. Of course, he, yes. He's not a manager. He's not your agent. Yeah, he's not a manager. He's like, I'm an manager comic. He'd like to do a show if you guys would love to house him, whatever. And so there were, like, two people got back to us, and then one ended up scheduling a Zoom call with us. They're like, we wanted to do this forever.

And then... Is that how Greek people talk? Oh, well, a lot of Australians basically run these islands. Oh, really? Yeah. And so, uh, by, like, we get on a Zoom call, and I'm pitching this guy, like, a show as if you would at a bar in New York City. Sure. And he was like, I love it.

You're a legend. Like, get out here in fucking July, July 17th. We'll run it. And that was it. So then we booked that. Fly to Spain on July 3rd. Met up with my buddy who's in the Secret Service. And then my other buddy from back home.

And they were there just to run. They flew in just to run. That's a three-day event. Sure. And then they left. Because they had to get back to work. And then one of them had to get... Yeah, you work for the Secret Service.

Yeah, yeah. That's not a job. You can be like, I'm out for two months. Yeah. We're going to. It's also a name you can't drop. Yeah. Yeah.

So we ended up, we get, me, him and the other kid, we meet up in Barcelona before the whole group gets there. The whole group was going to meet us in Pamplona. And so we took a train from Barcelona to Pamplona to meet up with them at the campground. We stayed at a campsite. And it was a, what we like to do is when we go, we like to book hostels. Sure. Like, we're still hostile people. Yeah.

I will sleep in a 30 person. mixed dorm because because I'm like, this is a funny story. Yeah, yeah. I did that. Me and TJ did that in Chicago. Yeah. We wanted to kill her. Well, you did an American hostel? Yeah. That's a problem. Oh, dude, it was, it was the worst. Yeah, it's gross. I hated it. Hostels are gross everywhere, but more so in America. There's a bunch of fucking European people there. They were like, oh, isn't it very nice? Yeah, no, I fucking hate this. No, you need a hotel. You need a hotel. Yeah. But we get there, and as soon as you get there,

our hostel was, we get there the night before the run. So our hostel was a, uh, was a, you can drink hospital. I didn't know. That's a thing. It seems like a big risk for them. Oh, yeah. Throwing up and peeing. So as soon as you get there, you get your garment, which is like your garments, which

are like your white shirt, white pants. That you're going to run with? White pants. You get the whole, yeah, the uniform to run in is like a white, white pants, a white shirt, a red scarf and a red sash. Okay. And they give that to you. And then you head off to the city for the opening ceremony.

And that's just a big party. Were you nervous? So I wasn't. So my buddy called me a week before we got there, and he was like, are you nervous for this? You know, I had a trank gun. He goes, this is? Has anybody ever done that?

That just tranked to one of the bulls coming out of them. So he's like, he's like, are you nervous this? Because, like, it's all I've been thinking about. Like, it's just crazy to me. Like, we were going to go, we were running with the bulls in the morning. And then we were going to Calvin Harris in the BASA, VIP. We spent 10 grand to get a VIP table that night.

So we were going to run with the bulls in the morning, hop on a plane, go to Calvin Harris and party your ass up. He goes, do you understand if one of us dies? the trip is over We're not going to go to Calvin Harris And I was like You know there's to be that one guy It's like he would have wanted us

Yeah yeah oh yeah I was like oh we are going to Calvin Harris I've spent $1,500 I spent $1,500 on Calvin Harris And so Yeah so Yeah so we yeah the opening ceremony is crazy Yeah so I told him I was like

I'm not gonna think about it Until I'm there Sure like until it's happening So the night before like You get to the hospital You check in to get to the city. Opening ceremony happens.

It's a big party. Everybody's like throwing sangria everywhere. Like party at every fucking bar, restaurant, whatever. You name it. Everybody's dressed the same. White pants, white shirt, red scarf, red sash. Everybody's getting trashed. And you're drinking until like three in the morning.

Yeah. You have to be up out at the hostel to catch the bus because the hostel's 30 minutes away from the city. They only have one bus that takes you to the run in the morning. Some people had to have missed it, right? I'm sure they did. But I wasn't. We weren't going to make it. Of course not.

We stopped drinking at like three in the morning. We had to be up at 5 to be on the bus by 5.30. And the run starts probably at 8 a.m. Oh, shit. And when you get there, the way it's just straight up in the city. And the way the city does is they set up a bunch of boards and like metal, like a wooden like pylons to kind of like make like a track, like a makeshift track all throughout the city. restaurants and bars and fucking convenience stores all have like metal barricades like just like blocking the doorways. Yeah.

And everybody's just everybody's on their balconies fucking tailgating. Like and, uh, because I would love that that that that's more of my position watching. Watching. Yeah. The news is there. The news is there like when you get there like on the track like interviewing people as are walking by. They see us coming. It's literally six in the morning.

And one of my buddies, he's like such a fucking douchebag. but they see him and they go, no one speaks English here, by the way. They all speak Spanish. It's like a very old town. It's like one of those parts of Spain that has not like progressed with the world. You know what I mean?

Because they don't need to. Of course not. And this is the only time of the year they get any... If you have history, you don't need to progress. Yeah, but they don't get any time. This is the only touristy thing. Sure.

This is the only thing that fuels their economy. And, uh... They come up to you and they're like, do deista Juan. Yeah, they're like, oh, this is Juan Strip. You guys made it. But no, they see my buddy Casey And they go up to him

They go, sir, can we ask you some questions About why you're running? And my buddy goes, sure And he goes, is this on air? They go, we're live. He goes, yeah, we're retarded. They're like, cut, cut, cut, cut. And then we're just dying.

We're like, why would you do that? He goes, because fuck them. Yeah. Like, you owe them nothing. Dude, everybody thinks you're a moron. Like, anybody who's like a local there thinks you are the dumbest person Yeah, because they've probably seen people die.

Yeah. And they're like, they do it every year, yeah. Oh, dude, it's crazy. So you get handed. By the way, do you know any stats on how he will die doing it? So here's the funny thing. You don't get... If you die on the track during the run, you don't get counted as a casualty.

You just get counted as like an injury. So the injury list is always bigger than the death list, the death list, because the death list... But he died in the hospital. He didn't die on the... It only counts if you die in the Coliseum. Oh, really? Is that where it ends or something? Yeah, it ends in the Coliseum.

Got you. Okay. So it only counts if it only counts if you. you die on the Coliseum. How many Coliseum guests are there? How many Coliseum? I'm sorry? Like, is it like a yearly thing people die? Or is it? Or is it pretty, they've figured it out by now. I don't know if anybody died this year, but I know a lot of people are fucked up.

And this is, I'm, I'm retarded. This isn't the Colisee. That's in Rome. This is in Spain. No, you run from Spain to Rome. Yeah. That's what the, that's what the Marathon. Julia Caesar's there too. With Elvis. Can you believe it?

Fake Elvis. No, it's a small, it's a small Coliseum, but there's still like thousands of people there. Of course. Yeah. Since, six in the morning. They all paid like $1,500

for these seats. Damn, dude. And Calvin Harris. I would love to be one of those coliseum guys. Like, I would wear, like, even though it's Spain, I would dress in like...

Toga. Yeah. But be like, looking down on people, like, in Gladiator, just like looking down all the... Dude, and it's, it's like,

it's a bunch of, like, people, who are, like, anywhere between, like, people that are friends with people that are running or, like, family members, people that are running,

or people who are animal rights activists because they hate what they do to the bulls. Sure. Because the bulls get viciously murdered. Of course. And then... Wait, wait.

What do you mean? Oh, dude. Yeah. So, okay. So here's what happens, right? So all morning, you're just, you're walking the track. You can pick what part of the track you want to start on. The track is a half mile.

And there's, like, points in the track that you want to start if, like, you're not an experienced runner. Coincidentally, we met this guy who had been running for the last five years. And he was like, first time, we were like, yeah. And he's like, we were like, like what's your advice for first time? He goes, you want to start after Dead Man's Corner. And we're like, that makes sense.

Yeah, we're like, what? Oh, my, yeah. And he goes, so the way the run goes, it's like a fucking like, it's like a, it's like an S. It's like this. And then a straight shot up. So it starts straight shot up, slight left turn, beeline to this wall, and then sharp right all the way down to the Coliseum. The sharp right is known as Dead Man's Corner because all the Bulls and people, they have

to, the Bulls don't see it coming because there's so many people in front of them. And so they end up smashing into this wall. Oh, shit. And they crush people in the process. Wow. Yeah. So the guy was telling us, you want to start after that corner, like right after that, because that's when the bulls have the least amount of momentum.

Gotcha. So they're just trying to regain their composure. They're still fast. Yeah. But they're not as, like, crazy as, like, when they first get started. Uh-huh. And it's funny, weird fact, the first part of the run, it's a straight uphill shot. and the bulls are at their fastest running uphill.

I don't know how. Interesting. I don't have that works. Physics, yeah. scientifically, but like that's what it is. So yeah, and after Dead Man's Corner leaves you with a quarter mile to run, which is perfectly fine for me because,

one, I'm still drunk from the last night, and two, I'm running in Converse. Yeah. Oh, shit. Yeah, so it's like, yeah, and then he was telling us, he was like, he handed us these rolled-up newspapers. This is true.

They hand you a rolled-up newspaper snack, and he was like, if you, you, you, Use this. If you get attacked by a bull, you smack it in the face in between its eyes, it'll get off you. Wow. We're like, what? He's like, yeah, the bulls hate getting smacked in the face with newspapers. It's funny.

I feel like that's just a universal thing. I don't know. You hit me in the face with a stack of newspapers. Yeah. So, yeah. So anyway, we end up, we're waiting at the turn. And the guy was telling us, he goes, yeah, it's going to be about, it's very quick. It's 10 seconds.

Like, literally, like, the fastest experience ever. He goes, the longest part of it is just waiting for it to start pretty much. He goes, you're going to hear two gunshots. One at 7.59. That means get in your position. And then one at 8 a.m. And that means bowls are loose. He goes, when the bowls are loose, you're going to feel the ground start to move.

Do not move until you see them hit that wall. When you see them hit that wall, you turn, and you run for your fucking life. And he's like, keep an eye on like the people like behind you because you'll see the crowd start to part. Choose a side. Get off to the side. Find a doorway. And then just stand there until. the bulls pass you, then you keep running

to the Colceum. And he goes, don't stop running because if you slow down, there's gonna be another gunshot towards the end of like where you're supposed to be. There's a second set of six that are coming to clean everybody up. Yeah, there's 12 bulls that run, but they get released in like

two sets of six. Gotcha. Yeah. And then yeah, oh, and then he was like he was asking us about our scarves. He goes, how'd you tire scarves? You were like just regular knots. He goes, that's dumb. They're like, why? And he goes, all right, just say, a bull hooks you

And then drags you down, like, or like, You have to be worried about people, too. Sure. Dude, people are shoving everybody around, like, out of the way. Like, they're grabbing onto each other. Just like, collars and shit. And he goes, somebody grabs onto your, your handkerchief. Let it, you want it to come off.

Yeah, see, he taught us how to tie a slip knot. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It comes apart easily, right? Huh? So, it comes apart easily. Yeah, yeah, it just rips right off. It's a slip knot. So, um, yeah.

yeah dude fucking uh so I'm standing with my standing with my boys uh and then which we had to get away from each other he was like you don't want to stand next to each other and we're like why and he was like well if you need to shove somebody to the ground you don't want it to be your best pal

this guy has run five times no literally and we asked them we're like why are you do you run uh every year and he goes I like the adrenaline and uh also like uh I try to get closer and closer to the bulls every year so I can actually run with the pack oh that's so bad

It's so sick, yeah. How close for you? I was about five yards away from a bull. That's wild. Yeah, yeah. That's not far. So you're after Death's Corner and then, I mean, that has to be scary when you're, you're feeling the Bulls, like you just know it's coming.

Dude, yeah, so like the first gun goes off and I started running. I forgot what he said. Uh-huh. I started running, and I slipped. And I-Conver's the worst shoes, dude. Yeah, I slipped. I shouldn't you want, like, cleats probably? Well, it's also fucking wet as shit.

No, you don't want cleats because it's cobblestones. You're running on cobblestone roads. So, like, picture running in Soho. Right. Yeah, right. By Balthazar, like, area. Like, it's not, like, an ideal running situation. And so I-

Did you see anybody get wrecked? Huh? You see anybody? Well, so I, I slip. My buddy Griff stayed next to me, and he was like, Brent, get up. Like, they haven't released him yet. And I go, oh, yeah, yeah.

Get up. 30 seconds go by. The second gunshot goes off. And then the crowd, like, you can hear the whole town. Everybody goes crazy. You think we were standing in front of this. convenience store and these guys were peering over over the owner and some shop person were like peering

over like the metal like barricade. He's like Rotarados. Yeah, yeah, no, no. He's like looking down he goes, he goes, uh, bandejo. And we're just like, dude, like, I'm with these Australian dudes who just got in their hair like braided for it. They're like, oh, hey, bro, this is fucking outrageous. You know what I'm like, dude?

They're like, see you back at the hall still, brother. We're like, all right, bro. And, uh, yeah, crowds go nuts. Everybody's throwing sangria. literally, like the guy said, five seconds go by, ground starts to shake. I've lived in California for three years.

Yeah, I never felt an earthquake. This is the closest thing I've ever felt. The ground shakes like crazy. And then it's kind of like a, you know how like a spirit, like pep rally?

Yeah. People start like low. Like they do like one of those like chants where they go, oh, like that. Like it. So it's kind of like a,

everybody kind of like gets like a little, it's like quiet. Everybody's like waiting, right? And then as soon as they round the corner you should everybody go, as soon as they round the corner we just see some guy just get absolutely annihilated into death's dead man's corner

By a bull? By a bull Just fucking just slammed Like the body of the bull slammed into this guy Like fucking wrecked And then you wait like a couple seconds Wait for them to regain their composure You see like the whole crowd of people running towards you And then you just go go! And then everybody books it

And you have like two seconds to just get out to the side And then it was like me and like five other dudes in this doorway just like fucking waiting and yeah dude like you see like all the bulls just fucking running down the street and I remember looking at this one bowl

and he kind of like was kind it was like close to like riding the wall if he just made a right turn I was like oh if he turns right like we die. Yeah. Oh really? Yeah I was like oh I don't know what to expect but if he turns right we are fucked. Yeah. Yeah then you run into a coliseum and then they round

up all 12 bulls and you're just in the Coliseum. They release six baby bowls. They're like two years old. And they have capped horns. So you can fuck around with those bowls, but those bulls still fuck people up.

Sure. But what's even funnier is that there's a commentator, like, he's just speaking in Spanish. That's so funny. He's like, everybody gets out, but you're like, whatever he's saying sounds nice. Yeah, yeah.

No, he's not saying that at all. He's probably saying like, all right, now for the fun time, let's watch people get fucked up. And the crowd's like, woo! And people are getting bucked in the end. to like bad bunny or like the latest hits.

Yeah. Yeah, it's fucking wild. At that point I was like, everybody was like, oh, you got to slap the ass. You want to slap the ass. And I was like, I do not want to go near.

No, not too. So I just stayed off to the side. Yeah. Well, then do they, because I know like in traditional bull fighting, like they murder the bulls. Well, so what happened is. So they actually kill them at the end?

Oh, yeah. Like with a fucking soar. So the baby bulls is very cruel. very cruel but very cool. That is badass. So they release the six baby bulls and then you're basically just fucking around with them. That's basically all you're in the call of them to do is just fuck around the baby bowls.

And then they round up all of them. And then, yeah, then that's the end of the morning. It's only 8.30. Yeah. It's only 8.30 in the morning. Do you know what happens to the... Do they still kill the Bulls? Well, so later on that night, you buy tickets for it.

It's like, I mean, they're like 25 bucks. They're supposed to be. but then they sell out like morning of. Yeah. So if you're not running, people who aren't running are at the box office buying tickets for later that night.

Right. And then the people, people buy multiple tickets they can scalp them. Gotcha. So we bought scalt, we scalped tickets for like 80 bucks. Mm-hmm.

And then, yeah, it's later on night at like 6 p.m. And then, yeah, you're just in the Coltium and you just watch these Matador's just go to town on these fucking bowls. It's pretty cool.

Do they kill them at the end? Oh, they murder them. They have like these long swords. And the, the bowls come out with like, already like having like big swords in them. So they all come out,

they come out like tired already. Like they're like, it's a slow death. Oh shit. It's a slow, painful death. Yeah, they come out with like two swords. I'll show you videos after the pot.

Uh, they come out with like two swords like in them, like stuck already in them. The badador like fucks around with them. Like doing like the whole thing like you would see in cartoons where he's like, Toro, Toro. Yeah. They were stabbing him though.

Yeah. Oh, dude. Yeah. Behind the Matador's cape, he has a long sword. Oh shit. That he is ready to stab. the bull in the back with. See, look, I'm a progressive guy.

I'm not against abusing animals, but I'm also not against telling people how to do their culture. So I would love to watch it. Yeah, yeah. I mean, dude, I mean, like, yeah. And people were like saying that, like, in Europe, like, when I would tell them, they're like, how, how's your trip been? Because when you go to Europe, like, you just meet a bunch of people who are, like, travel gypsies. Sure. And I'm like, oh, I started running with the bulls. They go, ugh. Like, oh, yeah. And I'm like, hey, I didn't start it. I'm like, they were going to do it with or without.

Yeah. So, shut up. I'm from Fort Lauderdale Yeah Yeah and then Yeah that night We hopped on a plane And that afternoon Hopped on a plane

Went to Ibiza And got dropped off Right at the hostel And then right to the club That's I think the most fulfilling have to be I assume like after you run And do

Leave the Colosse So you feel safe But you still have that adrenaline And then go into drinking probably Oh dude yeah We went back to the hostel Showered up And uh

Started booze And dude it's just like People run around naked Yeah People are streaking It's like the epitome of watching people who just saw their lives flashed for their eyes

and they celebrate living. Yeah, that's fucking awesome. Yeah. And like you're cheering people all day. That's great. And you're saying like, to life. And everybody's like, yeah, no life. Yeah.

I made out with a deaf girl. Yeah. There was a deaf girl that spun a wheel at the hostel. I don't know if she agreed to it because you could have talked. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She like, spun a wheel and it said, kiss a stranger. And she comes over to me. She's like, eh, I got it.

I'll do it. baby? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's how she sounded. Oh, dude, so he slept in this 30 person mixed dorm. It was like us, a bunch of Australians, and these deaf girls. And, uh... They travel in packs? Well, no. I feel like... The Australians travel and packs.

You get to the running of the deaf girls. So we're saying in this hostel. When I'm staying in a 30 person mixed dorm, you don't want to be near me. Because I'm the most annoying person that comes home the latest. Of course. And I am cracking jokes. Yeah. I'm like farting. I'm like doing everything to like get a laugh out of my friends.

we're all just dying. The next night we come in. Australians come in. We're trying to get a good night's sleep. Australians come in. They're like, American cunts. Get up right now. Like, you guys suck ass.

Like, you don't get to sleep. And my friends, we are the biggest retards. Yeah, yeah. We're like, you can't out-retard us. Yeah. There's no way. So my buddy Griffin just starts yelling things at them. He's like, Pauley.

Paulet. I'm like, you got to take us to your ship. And they're like, what are you talking about? Yeah. And then the deaf girls are like having night terrors We're all like trying to go to bed So like we all resolve this issue with the Australians Like all fine, we're all going to bed, we're all going to bed

We're all going to bed and we're all go to bed Oh no Yeah, see that's But they don't hear you guys being loud No, it's kind of a win-win for them Also did they deaf girls do the running with the Bulls? Yes The deaf girls were lit dude

That's wild They were sick That's also gotta be shitty because Like they don't hear the first gun shot They don't hear the second gun shot So I guess they're going based off of just watching people run. Yeah, that's true. I guess so.

Because they can't really hear the same. Yeah, we didn't run next to them. But yeah, we saw them afterwards. And yeah, everybody gets crazy afterwards. Everybody's just like, I don't give a fuck. I live to tell the story. Yeah, that's amazing. Like one guy literally.

Yeah. Yeah, one guy at the fucking hostel literally work. Like, it's like a DJ's there, like hanging out, like fucking everybody's booze and sangria, beer, liquor, whatever. And this one guy just decides to take off all of his clothes. in the middle of the party. That would be me. I'm a naked drunk alley. Yeah, he just starts running around

with his cock out, he's having a good time and everybody's like, hey man, he lived, we get it? Yeah, we understand. We understand. We are running out of time. Sorry, I took up all that. That was awesome.
