What's up, Bob? I'm happy to be here.
I'm very excited to be here. I'm excited to talk about whatever you want to talk about.
Yeah, that was the thing. Like, I don't really have anything on the docket. I have some things
in my head, like some things that have been big, that have happened since foreplay. You guys went
to Pinehurst. You guys beat Kevin Kisnerisner like you took a road trip during quarantine that's kind of cool ria's been fucking crushing it with chicks
in the office the outer banks merch is all over the place i'm sure the lovely couple chase stokes
and madeline klein will be wearing like that shit down the aisle or something so what do you guys
want to talk i want to say one thing i know we don't want to talk about our podcast because we
want to talk about things separate but all i want to say about chicks in the office is you guys have the best merch like i don't know who does your guys's
merch whoever made the harry styles hoodie that thing was ridiculously fire and i don't even
listen to harry styles and i want one of those so you should but uh thank you very much trent
i came up with that idea i was really proud of it unfortunately it got c indeed um but it's okay
because it was selling real well before it got taken down.
That's what I'm happy about.
Thank you for the shout out on the merch.
I like fashion.
I like to design merch that I would actually wear.
Sometimes, I don't want to get into it.
Sometimes I see stuff and I'm like, I wouldn't, I wouldn't necessarily wear that.
So I just try to make,
come up with ideas that I think other people would wear and that I would wear.
So thank you.
I think very successfully, like people in the office are always wearing your merch.
Yeah. Well, the two bad hoodies, that was a hit.
Shout out to Justin Bieber for damning me that or else it wouldn't have happened.
Even the first like chicks in the office hoodies with the chick logo.
Everyone was like, that's the best logo ever.
Oh yeah. The chick logo. The chick logo was cool.
I will say that you, Robbie mentioned that we haven't caught up and whatnot.
I will say that I talk to Robbie every day and I pretty much see Trent every
day via Zoom.
So as much as we haven't caught up publicly,
we all talk to each other behind the scenes quite often.
Yeah, I sort of meant like in the zoom way, like I mostly have just been texting you and Trent the entire time.
Like, I feel like when quarantine first began, we did the FaceTime thing for a second.
Yeah. All right, listen, we're just gonna go back to texting. I don't remember the last time I talked to Trent face to face.
Yeah, it's been a while. I mean, you've popped into the apartment a couple of times, but the one time I was recording a podcast and then this last time I was already at the office.
So yeah, I haven't talked to you face to face in quite a long time.
And the apartment looked like a train wreck because our building is doing
construction in our closet still apparently, which started when I left for Jersey.
It's been a nightmare, man. Like, I don't know how much you've talked about it on this show or whatever,
but the gas just hasn't worked in our building
for like 18 months.
And it's gotten to the point
where they're finally starting to fix things.
As soon as they started to fix things,
that's when the global pandemic hit.
But they're still like trying to get
into people's apartments to do drilling and all that.
And you can ask anybody who,
Ria and Fran, we do the group chat every, you know, a couple
of days.
And I have to tell them being like, I don't know if I can do it today because there's
loud drilling going on in our building.
But now I think they're finally done.
And, but then again, I always think they're done and then they pop in again.
So it's been a nightmare.
I've been trying to do podcasts, trying to do video stuff with loud, loud drilling.
And it's been a bit of a nightmare.
Sometimes I feel like they're trying to smoke me out i think they're trying to like i think they're trying to smoke us out to get
us out of the building i don't know what do you mean smoke us out like they like they're withholding
the gas no i think the noise is they're trying to smoke us out with the noise they're just being so
loud that they they don't want anyone in the apartment i think they might be doing like pointless drilling just to get us out of here so they
can up the rent on the next people huh that's that's you being insecure and that is uh your
narcissistic disorder coming out i'm just kidding you don't have that i'm just kidding
um speaking of smoking you out trent i have a question for you have you taken in any sort of
substance during quarantine weed alcohol maybe some other drugs anything at all i've been getting
really into pcp and that's been awesome no i so i have not drank but i have been dabbling in
edibles a little bit like As little as you can.
Like I get these, I buy these, these, you know,
exciting packages full of wonder and I see these gummies and I bite off a
little centimeter of it.
Like, I'm not trying, I'm not trying to jump into the ocean.
I'm trying to put my feet in the pool.
So I, I just bite it a little bit and I can sort of feel it.
And then I'm going to, I'm going to work my way into the water has it been like successful are you are you happy with the
experience yeah i haven't lost my mind so that's really what i'm looking for if i just feel a
little different i view things a little differently i think about things a little differently that's
what i'm looking for i'm not trying to no offense robbie have a heart attack and want someone to call 9- call 911 for me because I'm alone in this apartment. I'd have to go knock on our neighbor's
door and that's going to be a tough introduction. I met our neighbor on Friday. I was coming out of
our apartment. I popped in for a second, crashed the car. We'll get into it. I was all bloody and
didn't wear a mask. Everyone in our building is wearing a mask. I assume those are essential now um I felt like such a dickhead not wearing one but yeah he was just like what's
up Robbie and I was like literally just bleeding and I was like hey and he was like is Trent in
there and I was like I think he's in the office man I don't know I was just trying to get out
as quickly as possible uh Trent you just said that you didn't want to like have a heart attack
or whatever um I will say that and this is something that you two't want to like have a heart attack or whatever um i will say that
and this is something that you two might be proud of you guys know me pretty well
but i was a frequent blunt smoker right oh yeah backwards backwards yeah all the time
all the time it got to the point where at the beginning of quarantine i stopped smoking
backwards and blunts and just stuck to joints and bowls and edibles because the
blunts were becoming way stronger as I was just sitting inside. Like, to be honest, don't tell
the people we work with, but like, I can't believe I ever smoked a blunt in the middle of the day.
Like, I can't even believe because I couldn't function in my apartment.
I was like, how was I functioning at work?
So I switched over to just like joints, bowls, edibles.
I smoked a blunt this weekend in honor of Hank's birthday, of course.
Listen, you got to treat yourself sometimes.
I will say I was enjoying, you know, I was never a huge edible person, but like you said,
quarantine started, wanted to just change it up a little bit. What else is there to do?
So I started eating more edibles and it was really fun. And I'm, you know, I'm still doing it. I'm
not stopping. But there was one night recently that was fucking terrible. My brain was thinking in sections. It was like, you know, in 21 Jump Street
when it's like really fun and happy on one side and then really dark on the other side. I think
it might be the second one. And they just go back and forth and Jonah Hill's like crying and Channing
Tatum is dancing around. My brain was thinking in sections. So it would be like for five minutes
straight, I'd look out
into my wall and I'd be extremely happy. I'd be like, everything's going great. Blah, blah, blah,
blah. That five minutes ended. I would go into extreme darkness of like, the world is ending.
I hate my life. I can't believe what I'm doing here. Then that ended. Then five minutes later,
all of a sudden I'm super horny. Now I can't stop thinking about sex.
And then it just, it was like very, very bizarre.
And it really freaked me out.
Were you like, oh no, what's coming next?
Like, yeah, I'm not going to become an arsonist.
Is that the word?
I don't even know if that's a word.
Yeah, I think it is.
It is.
But yeah, like, am I going to want to start putting people on fire?
Like, what's going to happen next?
So yeah, edibles are a tricky situation.
I appreciate your caution.
And I think you should stick to nibbling a little corner off.
Because once you nibble a little more than a corner, you start thinking like that.
I saw an interview with Seth Rogen and Snoop Dogg on Stern.
And they were talking about edibles. And they were like, oh, oh we don't really fuck with that they're kind of a crapshoot
and when i saw like them calling edibles a crapshoot i was like all right like it's not
even a pussy thing like edibles are a crapshoot let me tell you what is a great alternative
for edibles guys it's this stuff three chi it's basically legal thC. It's something called Delta-8-THC.
It's federally legal, and it is derived from hemp.
So Delta-9-THC is what we have in weed.
We're talking about edibles right now.
That's what it is.
This stuff is like two-thirds as strong.
It doesn't make you as cloudy.
It doesn't make you as paranoid.
It doesn't make you as anxious or as lazy.
So you can maybe hit a little bit at work.
I'm not advocating that. Don't sign off on that if you're operating heavy machinery,
but you can get through the rest of the day. So these are products made in the USA,
USA grown hemp. It's derived from the hemp itself. And when they released the Delta 8 products,
they were the first federally legal THC products sold in the USA since Prohibition started almost 90 years ago.
You're making history by making a purchase here, basically.
So if you go to their website and use promo code BASEMENT, like you spell it on this show, you could see it if you're watching this show, if you're listening to this show, you receive 5% off your order at checkout. So you go to 3chi.com. That's three, the number three,
C-H-I, kind of like Chicago, but chi.com to shop for Delta 8 vapes, gummies, tinctures.
I don't know what tinctures are. Tinctures. It's the droppers. Oh, I did those too. And oils that
can be used to make homemade edibles. Now, let me tell you guys a personal story about these things.
You got to be careful because when they first got sent to my apartment, I wasn't aware that they were THC
and they could give you a buzz. They give you that clean buzz. It's a nice buzz, but it is a buzz.
It's kind of like similar to a weed buzz, I would say. I thought they were CBD. I popped two,
50 milligrams. I said, man, those were the most delicious CBD things I ever took in my life.
I offered some to my mom, my saint of a mom. I said, why don't you take some CBD? She said,
Rob, what does it do to you? I don't want to be messed up tonight if I'm taking something.
I said, no, no, no. It's like a vitamin. You won't even feel it. She ate one. She said,
that was delicious. I said, have another. She ate two. And in about an hour, they kicked in.
And folks, she did feel the buzz.
She wasn't someone expecting to feel buzz.
So it was jarring for her.
But she felt good.
She said she felt good.
She went to bed feeling nice after like a long, stressful day at work.
Tell you what, she turned to me an hour later and she just had this look in her eyes where
I was like, oh, that's my mom like I haven't seen her before.
Just a little stone.
Yeah, you got to be careful with them.
You got to be careful with them.
But I do truly, truly recommend the product.
I have the – they sent me like the oil vape cartridge.
They sent me the gummies.
They sent me the oil droplets.
And it is like a nice buzz.
It's clean.
It's hemp.
It's legal.
So you could buy it like you don't feel shady.
You're not making a weird deal out of the back of someone's truck.
It's good stuff though.
Maybe I should try that.
That sounds like a good way to go to.
Let me ask, was your mom high when you told her you crashed the car?
No, no, she wasn't.
But I guess we got to talk about it.
I got into my first car crash this weekend.
Your first ever?
My first ever.
Wow.
We're so proud of you, Robbie.
We've been waiting for this
day your whole life have you guys been in car crashes before like that where you were the driver
yeah um i don't know if i consider uh somebody slightly tapping me from behind no no no no
like a crash i mean like like a holy shit that was a crash no no no no somebody tapped me from
behind once and i hysterically cried it was nothing it didn't even leave a mark but i was
on my way to the airport to pick somebody up so you know driving to the airport is always scary
yeah through a wrench and things yeah i drove a uh so i when i was 16 i got a 1985 chevy caprice
it was my grandma's car, but she never drove it.
She was really old.
She sold to me for a dollar just so we could put the title in one name over the other.
One time I was driving in front of my high school.
Shout out to Kennedy High School in Cedar Rapids.
And a Saturn came up behind me and plowed into me.
The planet?
No, I'm kidding.
Good one, good one good one so the so the saturn ran into me going like 40 miles per
hour and this my car's a tank a chevy caprice i thought my car was fucked up i went back there
the saturn was totaled that thing was done for and there was barely a scratch on my car the the
license plate had been bent a little bit but other other than that, I just drove away. That's like kind of what happened. Like in my case, really,
my car was fucked. My mom's car and the other car is pretty much fine.
Like it was clear.
The other car was not fine. It wasn't fine. It's going to cost me some money,
but it didn't look like my car. No, but when I saw those pictures,
I was like, damn, Robbie Fox is going to have to pay. Yeah, I'm going to have to pay. How did it happen? What happened was I was on my way to the city to
go to my apartment to pick up some clothes. I'm going on a bit of a road trip. So I was like,
I need clothes for that. I was on my way in. I had the music cranking, but I was really paying
attention. Usually I have the GPS on like a little suction cup thing that my mom has like on the
dashboard. So you can clearly see it
halfway through this trip into the city from new jersey it's a quick trip like 30 minutes 40 minutes
um it fell so i just had the gps on my phone in my lap now i was on like a confusing area
right while you it's like right as soon as you get into the city over the gwb and it was three
lanes wide i'm looking down at the gps for
just a second supposed to get off at amsterdam ave i look up and the car in front of me was dead
stopped i had like a second to process it i fucking slammed on the brakes like eyes popped
out of my head like it was out of a cartoon and then i just fucking slammed and the airbag went
off dust filled the entire car which i thought was like
smoke at the time i didn't know what was going on the front of the car was fucked smoke is coming
out of the engine and my instinct was like i was kind of fucked up because the airbag hit me so
hard i'm shocked the airbag went on for you rob that you're the weight oh you're saying like i'm
not i don't weigh enough to wait no that's not how they work. Yeah, it is. What the fuck?
That can't be.
Yes, it is.
An airbag does not go on unless you are the weight.
I guess it makes sense the passenger seat airbag didn't go on. Because I remember when I was younger, I'm sorry to interrupt your story.
No, it's fine.
I remember when I was younger, I would get in the car, and as I got older, i would look to see if the airbag went on because
it doesn't go on until you're a certain weight i might believe that but it was a ricochet shot
at like me weighing a little bit yes it absolutely was okay the threshold has to be like 65 pounds
it's like it's like toddler stuff but immediately like the car's filled with smoke and i didn't
really like know what happened because I got rocked just then.
My instinct was that it was a pileup.
I thought like there's no way I just looked up and hit that car.
Like I was staying on top of things.
It must have been they hit someone, they hit someone, and then it was just unexpectedly coming out of nowhere.
Do you have a number for us, Rhea? Okay, so I think the passenger airbag is the one that goes on with a certain weight.
The driver airbag would always go.
The driver is going to be of age to drive a car.
There you go.
So they should have an airbag.
You know what?
I'm glad we put that together as a group.
I'd say 100 times times out of a hundred,
there's going to be a person in the driver's seat.
Like if an accident, you would think.
But because this, this like where it happened was three lanes wide.
I looked to my left and, or to my right.
And the people in the lane next to me, we're both like looking over like,
Oh fuck, you're fucked up, man.
And I was like, Oh damn.
So I see the car in front of me pull
over to the side i pulled over to the side pretty dangerous area to like actually pull over because
it was a highway and the couple in the car probably in their 50s or 60s were saints it was a couple
and to make matters worse and make me feel like a monster they had their granddaughter in the car
with a little baby in a toddler seat in a car seat robbie you fucked
their whole day up i know i did and listen it hasn't even got you haven't even heard the worst
of it he bought the car two weeks ago come on i know two weeks ago but i get out immediately i
ran up to the car i'm kind of like bloody but i was fine completely no injuries whatever i ask
one question yeah were you wearing pajama pants? No, no, I wasn't.
Oh my God, if I was, it would have been a bad look.
They would have been like, this guy was fucked up or something.
Okay, that's all I ask.
I like ran up to the passenger side car and I was like, is everybody okay?
Is everybody okay?
I'm so sorry.
Like I was looking at the GPS like, and they were like, listen, man, shit happens.
The lady was like, how old are you?
And I was like, 21 and 22 uh 21 and 22 whatever
and she's like sweetie it happens to everybody uh like call your mom whatever make sure everything's
fine so port authority police came they had to tow the car to a random part of harlem like they
just towed me to a side street in harlem in front of a bus stop so while i was waiting for a tow
truck every city bus that passed was honking at me like i was an asshole Harlem in front of a bus stop. So while I was waiting for a tow truck, every city bus that passed was honking at me.
Like I was an asshole standing in front of my mom's total car.
Yeah. The people were nice. The cops were nice.
The one cop said to me, he was like,
is there anything in the car like I should be worried about?
And I was like, no, nothing. And he's like,
have you had anything in your system? And I was like, no, nothing.
And he's like, well,
is there any reason you're more nervous than ever anyone I've ever seen right
now? And I was like, I don't't know i'm just an anxious person man anxiety
disorder my first car accident you know the way i get whatever i was just like shaken up rattled
um but yeah it's fucked up man and then i wound up going to the apartment anyway my brother came in
we initially so the car was drivable for a second and my brother we were one mile away from jersey
we were like if we could just get it over the bridge and bring it back to jersey then it would like cost way less
to get it towed and whatnot and my brother took it for a loop around the block it worked and then
as soon as he went to start again it just died so he had to tow it then but yeah first car accident
i felt like shit yesterday like my entire body was like i was walking like an old man. But other than that, I'm fine.
Robbie, I would like to bring up, you know,
maybe if we want to take our memories back to maybe a month or so ago.
Maybe you were going to do this.
When we talked about driving in the city and Robbie told me that he was
driving into the city to pick up some stuff
from the apartment. And I said, Oh, is your mom driving you? And he said,
why would my mom be driving me? Like I could drive myself. And I was like,
Oh, well,
I've never driven in the city because driving in the city really scares me.
And he was like, that's ridiculous. Really? Like really shamed me for it.
I wasn't trying to shame you, but I was quite rude.
You were quite rude. And then you got into an accident i apologize listen it was karma i
apologize and the funniest part was everyone said how did your mom take it you know was she upset or
anything not at all she had actually joked to my sister last week she was like man like my car's at
the end of the lease i'm getting a new one so i wish it would just get last week. She was like, man, like my car's at the end of the lease. I'm getting a new one. So I wish it would just get totaled. And I was like, be careful what you
wish for motherfucker. I'll total it. I'll total this thing. Yeah. That is some, that is a
manifestation right there. It might just be fraud. Like maybe you crashed that thing on purpose.
I know. I said to her when, when my sister told me that I was like, all right, I don't feel as
bad anymore. It's like, we owned a restaurant. We needed some insurance money.
I lit that shit on fire.
And they were like, well, yeah, like if you were standing in the restaurant while you did it.
Listen, fuck it.
It happened.
Got my first car accident out of the way.
Everyone has their first.
You never forget it.
But now I'll be more careful, I think.
Does everybody have their first?
Does that mean I have to get into an accident?
I hope not, for your your sake as your friend.
I will say I've never even –
You're driving.
Trent, we know you've been arrested,
so we know you've gotten in trouble with the law before.
So, yeah, you're a straight-up criminal.
That's fair.
I've never even been pulled over.
So it actually makes me nervous every time I get in the car because I'm like,
my time is coming. My time is coming. I'm not that great of a driver. I'm pretty reckless. I'm like,
ah, like I get nervous and then I drive too fast and I drive too slow. And then when I'm angry,
I really push on the pedal. Like I'm not, I really take my emotions and put it into my driving. So
I think I was in the car with you behind the wheel once.
I think when we did the shoot, the Pup Punk,
not my real girlfriend, the Christmas video.
Didn't you drive us to the train station?
No, because I went back on the train station with you guys.
We were just in my car.
My parents drove us.
Oh, that makes sense.
I remember I drove Frankie Borelli home once though,
and he would never get back in the car with me again after
because I was making, like, you know, when the light's green
and you got to make a left, but there's cars coming.
Oh, yeah.
I was making one of those, and a car was coming.
A car was coming, and I just went,
and Frankie Borelli screamed like a little girl.
How much driving have you guys done? Like, do you forget like because like growing up I drove all the time but do you guys
drive all that often I don't drive anymore because I'm in the city but obviously up until I moved to
the city I drove all the time because I went to uh a private Catholic school. So fancy, you know, like when you go to, I know I,
I roll my eyes even when I say it myself. Um, we, when you go to public school,
all your friends are basically in your town. Yeah.
But when you go to like a private Catholic school,
there's people from all different towns.
So my best friends live like a half an hour away from me on Long Island.
So I would have to drive a lot.
I pretty much drove everywhere before Barstool.
Same thing with me.
And even like when I got the Barstool job,
it was like driving to the train station every day or driving into the city.
And like I would park overnight sometimes.
But I consider myself a pretty good driver otherwise.
I think this is good.
It'll make me be like, all right, look at the road more often.
It adds character, Robbie.
And it's punk rock.
I tweeted it, but like kind of punk rock.
Crashed my mom's car.
Totaled it.
See ya.
Did you say you had blood on you?
Yeah, so what they don't tell you about airbags.
When the airbag explodes, it blew up like obviously the front face of the steering wheel,
which is like a kind of hard
vinyl shell and that fucking expanded out and hit me in both of my thumbs so this blood this thumb
is like bruised and this thumb is all kind of sliced up still yep um but yeah that was like
the only like real thing that i guess got hurt so airbags are kind of dangerous oh yeah oh yeah well we knew that but
you know i didn't know because the metal piece would start fucking flying at you yeah i also
think people have this perception and i've never got hit with airbags so i don't totally know
but i think people have a perception that they're like pillows but i'm pretty sure they're
rock hard it felt like getting like hit in the face with someone wearing a boxing glove.
Yeah.
What?
Why do those exist?
Make them like clouds.
Literally, my mom had a microwave,
like an old microwave in the backseat that she was bringing home from work
or something because she COVID, whatever.
And it flew open.
It sounded like a bomb went off in the car.
So have you guys seen Whiplash, the movie Whiplash? Yeah. Nope. off in the car so you uh have you guys seen
whiplash the movie whiplash yeah nope you know the car crash scene yeah it felt like that to me i felt
like something out of a movie because it just hit so unexpectedly yeah and then like i didn't know
what was going on for a sec but i was just like i gotta get out of the car like see if the people
are all right but were they mad were they mad at you you know what? The guy was rightfully, like, clearly annoyed.
He was, like, mad, mad.
Yeah.
He didn't even give me any of that.
He was just, like, I could tell he was mad when I was, like,
thank you for being so cool about this, man.
Like, again, I'm so fucking sorry.
Like, I really didn't mean to, you know, whatever.
I was so apologetic.
And he was, like, yeah, yeah, it's fine.
You know what happened.
He was, like, what if he turned to you and he said, you meant to. I know so apologetic. And he was like, yeah, yeah, it's fine. You know what happened? He was like, what did he turn to? And he said, you meant to, I know.
I was just about to say, obviously you didn't mean to.
I don't know what I would do, but he said he was just like, the worst part is I bought this car
two weeks ago. And that was when I could tell like, oh yeah, he's got a little annoyance. I
fucked up his day. But another funny thing that that happened i hope the stoolies that did this are listening to this show maybe they are maybe they're not stoolies passed a
car full of three people in it rolled down their windows as i was standing in front of my mom's
total car with a tow truck driver and they said robbie fox
it's it's always nice you know when someone recognizes you it's always like oh that's kind
of cool, right?
I've never expected in my life people to actually recognize me.
In that moment, I was like, I wish he didn't know who I was right now.
Robert Fox!
I will say enough time has passed that I think I could joke about this moment.
But stoolies come out at the best times like even even when it's not a good time
like the stories about like you're in the middle of something and a stoolie will be like
viva bar stool like when hank was being put into an ambulance one night and we were going into like
literally walking into an ambulance he's completely fine now guys don't worry about it and also
it was nothing serious don't have to worry about it but we're walking to the ambulance he's completely fine now guys don't worry about it and also it was nothing serious don't worry about it but we're walking to the ambulance and this group of kids are like
barstool i'm just like oh my god is this for real right now they're everywhere you never know when
they're gonna pop up normal day or when you're in the back of an ambulance
one of my favorites ever was i went to and trent
will definitely know this i went to a basketball game with him at msg iowa versus someone and uh
we were walking back right by penn station someone was like yo trent and he was like what's up man
they're like who's that you're in turn and i was like damn one of my favorite burn one of my favorite that's one of my favorite memories ever
I still can't decide if he knew who you were and he was roasting you or if he was just I don't
think I think it was a legitimate like he didn't which makes the burn even better really that's
true yeah I actually forgot about that but that's really funny um another thing that I wanted to
bring up to you Trent because I don't know if you've ever done this before but I did it for
the first time today and had a blast. Have you ever been disc golfing?
Oh yeah. Oh my God. Rhea, have you been disc golfing? I mean, we talked about it last night,
but have you done it? No, I've only lived through it watching Zoe 101. I did it today. 18 holes.
It was a blast. It was now they don't tell you. It's like, it was kind of a hike, like,
like it was in the middle of a forest, obviously obviously but it was people out there drinking high noons literally like the whole course was filled it's free um
there was like no way everyone's you know playing fluidly it was so much fun we used to play so much
disc golf back in the cedar rapids iowa city area and we played a lot of it when we were like 17 18
19 and one of the main reasons it's a fun game and it's fun to play, but also if you like to drink alcohol,
if you like to smoke marijuana and if you like to just smoke tobacco products
and you're a little underage or people kind of don't want you doing it,
there's nothing better than walking to a disc golf course, walking 18 holes,
throwing a Frisbee around and getting a little fucked up. We had it.
I played so much. It's so much fun.
It was so cool.
They had like little recycling stations where where the community had put it up
and it's like, make sure you throw out all your things or whatever.
But I was very surprised.
It seems like a thing that I would want to do in the future.
And I was asking my cousin about it.
I went with my cousin, and he's one of these guys
who if he puts his mind to something,
he can solve a Rubik's Cube in like 20 seconds.
He's one of those minds.
So he was fucking launching these
discs like he was at a long drive competition hitting crazy shots from who knows where and
my discs were kind of going all over the place but I was like do they do like celeb pro-ams because
I would watch that shit if you put a celebrity with like a really good disc golf player I feel
like it'd be awesome I don't know I have no on like ESPN the Ocho they'll put that's what I mean
yeah in that in that way like even with stool streams when we eventually get that going yeah Awesome. I don't know. I have no on like ESPN, the Ocho they'll put on. That's what I mean. Yeah. In that,
in that way,
like even with stool streams,
when we eventually get that going,
get a camera crew out to a forest for a day and film like a round of disc
golf while we all get messed up.
That would be fun.
And it's free.
You don't have to pay.
It's crazy.
That blew my mind.
I thought it was going to be like mini golf where there's like a teenager
waiting at the front with like Frisbees.
No,
you bring your own Frisbee and it's free.'s free they just have these like cement blocks every you know
couple hundred yards and you throw it and you it's you're banging chains that's what it is which is
also so cool when you hit a shot you hear that noise it sounds like you hit a swish in that like
outdoor one tree hill court banging chains yeah no we played a lot of that growing up it's really
fun i haven't played in years and uh i wouldn't mind getting back out there to be quite honest we should do it like the
foursome the three of us and throw in hank because hank's probably frisbee guy isn't he is he a lefty
frisbee guy um i will say something oh no it sounds like you're about to take a shot at his frisbee
skills no no this isn't about hank hank is i'm sure great at frisbee i haven't played any frisbee with hank for this reason being that i was very much afraid of frisbees you're afraid of frisbees
like a jan like a jan brady moment where you got yeah yeah like i'm terrified of it hitting my nose
and breaking although i wouldn't be opposed to getting a nose job. So if I got hit, it's like
the car, my mom and broke my nose, then okay, that's fine. I used to have a few irrational
fears growing up. You know, I probably should have been in therapy for some but I didn't Johnny
Depp in chocolate factory. Johnny Depp in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Johnny Depp in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
That's not really what I was talking about,
but I was terrified of him.
Yes.
Love song.
It would haunt me.
I don't know why.
And I love Sara Bareilles.
That hurts me.
Paula Abdul in That's So Raven,
that one episode where at the end,
weird things used to freak me out.
I don't understand what you're listening to.
What are you guys listening off right now?
You're listening off me?
My fears.
Just things that Rhea's afraid of.
But I will say there's one thing that –
I'm sorry to distract you from the disc golf talk.
No, this is fluid convo, Rhea.
You're fine.
This is a very, very true story.
I used to be terrified of napkins when I was younger.
Like I really, really, really hated napkins so much.
Like they couldn't be near me.
I couldn't touch them.
I would freak out.
They're not terrified, but almost.
Well, yeah.
Like when you see people on the show and they're like,
how are you?
How are you?
You didn't let me finish the story.
Okay.
I was also throw pillows, like pillows on a couch or a bed.
It was like a sense of like a sensory
issue yeah um i i don't know why i had a disease when i was younger called hsp um and i i don't
know if this has anything to do with why i had sensory issues but my parents always told me that
was why it was because of this weird disease that i had when I was younger. I don't know if that makes any sense. It could be. I could have walked for like a year. It was
very weird. Anyways. What? Yeah. So now, now I'm telling two stories at once. Keep going. Keep
going. I'll tell you both stories. I'll tell you both stories. Not being able to walk for a year
feels like the headline. It's actually something I've never talked about before. So I don't want
to talk about it. No, no, no. We can't. No, I would love to. I've never talked about before. So we can talk about it. No, no, no. I would love to. I've never talked about it. And Robbie, you're getting the exclusive.
And I think that people think this is crazy, but I've never talked about it before. And it's a
weird part of my life. When I was younger, like I said, I had this disease called HSP. And it's
like where you're, I guess, I don't exactly, really what it is. I just know what it did to
me from pictures and videos. I guess you're like blood vessels like burst. And I had,
I could show you pictures. How old are we talking? Like three or four years old. Okay. Really,
really young, really young. I still have pictures and videos. I had bruises covering my entire body from my head to my toes all over my body. And I couldn't walk.
I would literally have to be carried places. Because it hurt?
Yeah. I would have night tremors. My parents said it was really bad. And the doctors didn't
know what I had because it's not that, I guess, not that common. Or at the time,
it wasn't common and
doctors couldn't figure it out. So something that would usually last only a few weeks lasted a year
because they thought I had leukemia and they couldn't figure out what I had. And yeah. And
then finally they figured it out and then I, I got treatment and I was, you know, it's something
that goes away, but it lasted longer because they couldn't figure it out what it was for like a
really long time. Um, so yeah, there's videos and pictures of me when i was
younger like literally not being able to walk covered in bruises and like my family being like
ria how are you feeling today i'm like i'm okay like it's pretty fucking sad yeah it is it is
it's pretty sad i've never really talked about it before and even when i like
i've slightly mentioned it to hank like yeah i've had a disease when i was younger and he's like okay
like it's like he's like i just don't want to talk about it he's like i love you anyway i guess
it's like you don't have it anymore so why do i care um but yeah it's very strange so then i
started having like these sensory issues, right?
Like I said, I fucking hated napkins.
I hated the feeling of throw pillows.
Like it really skeeved me out.
And one time I had a glass napkin holder
on my kitchen table
and I just fucking swiped the thing off the table
and broke it because I didn't want it near me.
And as a punishment, my parents stuffed me with napkins and they literally sat me at the table and they it because I didn't want it near me. And as a punishment, my parents stuffed me
with napkins and they literally sat me at the table and they were like, this is over with,
like we're fucking done with this. And they stuffed me with napkins. And then after that,
I was fine with that. When you say stuff you with napkins, did they put them in your mouth?
No, they like put it in my shirt
and my clothes.
And they just like, no, they didn't fucking
shove like a sock in my mouth.
I thought it was like how parents put like soap
in their kid's mouth when they curse or something.
I thought they were like, you like napkins now.
No, no, no, no.
They just like put it, they just laid the napkins
all over me. You were like a scarecrow of napkins.
Scarecrow of napkins, yeah.
And that got me over my napkinkin fear i'm really glad it worked because that goes one of two ways they go it cuts the one way where you're now a normal person with a normal life or you're just
covered in tattoos and you're a super villain and you're yeah you're like it's it could have gone
so wrong but i'm glad that it worked. Absolutely. And I remember my parents talking about these quote unquote sensory issues I would have.
And they would be like, they have no idea.
They would just be like, eh, it was probably because she had a disease when she was younger.
Holy shit.
Well, look at you now.
Step up in this bitch like.
I fucking love napkins now.
Yeah, yeah.
You use napkins all the time.
I've seen you use napkins in real life. We've all seen you use napkins all the time i've seen you use napkins
in real life we've all seen you use napkins yeah rub that shit all over my face i feel like everyone
has like little things like that though i hate like styrofoam if i hear like styrofoam squeaking
i'm like get the fuck out like it freaks me out like it's nails on a chalkboard my sister hates
uh wet paper like if paper gets wet and soggy, she's like, Oh, that's gross. I hate dry paper, like really fresh, like freshly printed paper.
Oh, that's kind of nice when it's like warm out of the printer.
That's like warm clothes out of a dryer.
No, that skinks me out. I crumple it up a little bit. I used to do that in computer class.
I used to like freshly print it and then just like slightly crumple it.
You liked your paper vintage. Sens I didn't like the feel.
You like your paper vintage.
Sensory issues, like I said.
I don't know if I have any little weird things like that,
but I know my mom and my sister,
they can't hear the word button or see buttons
like that you would like button your pants with.
If you say button around them,
they will punch you square in the face.
What?
I don't know.
There's a word for it because they always tell face what i don't know it's i there's
a word for it because they always tell me i'm like it's fake i'm always yelling during the holidays
like it's not real and then they look it up and there's like a disease or or something that you
can't hear the word button or touch buttons now let me ask you this is it just like clothing
buttons or would you say like a button on a tv remote? That also is like no go. It's only clothing buttons,
but you can't say the word button.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You couldn't say the button on the remote
because they would be like, shut the fuck up.
I have, I have,
I know someone that has that with the word moist.
They're like, I hate,
but that, that seems different to me
because moist is a gross word.
They also, people have that with the word panties.
People hate the word moist and I'm so over it. Find a gross word they also people have that with the word panties people
hate the word moist and i'm so over it find a new word to hate i i feel that way i feel the way i
feel about the way people tell about moist is how i feel about people who are scared of clowns
you're not scared of clowns everybody says they're scared of clowns you're fucking not it's not cool
just to say you're scared of clowns i hate that right just like it's not cool to say you're
you hate the word moist.
Right.
I wanted to watch that Wrinkles the Clown movie recently,
and Trent was like, I don't know about that.
That's a scary clown movie.
Why didn't Trent want to watch that?
Is he scared of clowns?
No, I'm not scared of clowns.
Are you progressing?
No, I'm scared of scary.
Is that the word?
Projecting.
Projecting?
Yeah, progressing is a good thing i think
are you bettering yourself i'm trying no but it's i'm i'm scared of scary movies
all right fair um one more thing that i wanted to bring up before uh i i bring this to a close
this has been a great time guys catching up with up with you guys. When I came to the apartment, I saw that you have now a gorilla kettlebell,
one of those Joe Rogan motherfuckers.
Is that new?
It's not that new.
I've just had it in my room under my bed not being used.
I've never seen that before.
What kind of kettlebell workouts are you hitting in there?
Well, all right.
So during quarantine, I've gained some weight.
That's what I've heard.
That's the hearsay on Twitter via your Twitter. You keep telling people that. That's what I've heard. That's the hearsay on Twitter via your Twitter.
You keep telling people that.
That's what I've heard from you.
Yeah.
I do because I have to get out in front of it because, okay,
we went down to North Carolina.
We shot this video with Kevin Kisner.
We beat him 18 holes.
Was that awesome?
Was that fun?
That was really, really, really fun, especially since we won.
But I saw myself on video, and I was like, boy, I am fat.
I'm fatter than I was when this quarantine started
and I weighed myself I weighed like 265 pounds which is a lot I mean for me I always sort of
fluctuate between 230 and 245 UFC heavyweight I'm a UFC heavyweight so I've been fluctuating and I
but I want to slim down we've got I don't know when we're going to be back in the office but
it's going to be within like a month month or or two, whatever. And I want to be looking normal or like not like
I gained a hundred pounds because I thought that was the thing at the beginning of this. I thought
we were all going to get a little fatter. Oh, we can't walk. We can't take as many steps, but that
I apparently I was the only one that followed that regimen. So now I've got this yoga mat and I've got
the kettlebell, which you alluded to. And I just sort of throw that thing around. I've got um the kettlebell which you alluded to and I just sort of throw that
thing around I've been doing these workouts on YouTube there's this mad fit um YouTube channel
she's this she's this woman who's just in incredible shape and she puts you through 30
minute workouts I'm sweating my ass is that to do with the whoop you got oh well it all sort of does
coincide with the whoop whoop is like uh it's sort of like an advanced fit bit and it tracks my sleep it tracks my activity so i've been trying to uh keep my activity up i've been trying to
lose a little bit of weight and that is what the gorilla kettlebell is for because i just throw it
around the apartment and i start sweating look at you good for you trent and you got it for you
but then but then a couple days ago on friday I ate as many Hershey's with almond kisses as one person can eat.
So it's a bit of a balance.
It's a cheat day.
I've actually been, other than like the car crash day, I've been in shape.
I've been cranking pushups left and right.
I've been telling people I was getting prison jacked.
I think I am getting prison jacked.
Have you noticed the difference?
No.
All right.
This was fun, guys. Thank you for joining me in my mom's basement we'll have to do this again sometime this is very easy it's very easy to just have a casual conversation i
didn't even prep any material for this one other than i guess crashing my mom's car maybe that was
all for content good job that was a good way to bring up that was something to talk about
and in the moment by the way while i was waiting for the cops i thought about like what if i went
live from periscope just crashed my mom's car, AMA.
And I thought, and like, would that fuck up insurance?
I'm like, I don't know if you're not allowed to talk about that.
If I did that, would I get sued or something?
I will say, before we sign off completely in that same vein, when anything happens to
me, good or bad, especially bad, I'm always thinking like, that's going to be a tweet.
That's going to be a tweet.
That's going to be a blog. When you had a heart attack, you were like, I guarantee part of you once you woke up and
realized you weren't having one being like, that's going to be a great blog. It's a weird way to
think about things. But that's just kind of how we do it. And it's such a fucked up world we live
in. Because even my mom, like as soon as she found out I was okay, she was like, All right,
you'll get some content out of it. Right. And I was like, Yeah, and she's like, Cool. It's just
the way things work. I'll tell you this. um ria you alluded earlier to me getting arrested which did happen i
got a public in talks uh in cedar rapids like five or six years ago public in talks it's cool
the way you said that there's a guy with experience that's just what it is and um in that same vein
i got out of jail i thought i was going to fired. I was not fired I checked my email and the one email I had from dave portnoy our boss
All it said was well the first one he said where are you because it seemed like I had disappeared
And I said I got arrested. I got a public in talks after that tweet too where you were like, uh, what was it?
The saint lunatics. Yeah, saint lunatics is on see you on monday. See you on monday
So I emailed back I got a public in talks last night i'm just
getting out of jail and then he just emailed me back uh make sure you blog it which is what a
world we live in i'm probably gonna blog the car crash tomorrow at some point just to be like hey
here's my first car crash story that our lives are now public yeah robbie if you want to get
some clickbait write about me talking about my disease when i was younger i i will maybe it may
yeah for everyone
that listened to the podcast like if you clicked the headline because it said like ria talks about
disease that left her left her immobile for a year um that was our quick we're laughing but it was
true like that's not you're fine you're fine i'm fine now but that is not a lie. Yeah. I will say the leukemia part made me very sad.
I was like, I know.
They didn't know what I had.
My parents thought I was a goner.
Oh, okay.
I'm sorry.
We did that.
We were positive and we just went down again.
I'm here.
I'm going to, you know what I'm going to do?
I'm going to throw on a nice Harry style song to end this,
bring the mood up after that horrible leukemia reference by Maria.
Here you go.
