Starting point is 00:00:24 September 25th, United Theater. Then the next night, the 26th, I'll be at the Moore Theater. in Seattle, which I'm very excited about. And then the 27th Revolution Hall in Portland, Portland, you sold out. So I love you. Thank you for selling that out. Seattle and L.A. Pick up some tickets.
Starting point is 00:00:41 The shows are going to be very fun. Dan Soder.com for all dates announced right now on the Golden Retriever of Comedy Tour. Thanks, and I'll see you out there. I don't think I've ever done a proper intro on this podcast ever. We never did either. We never have. Yeah. And people get confused by it.
Starting point is 00:01:03 I'm like, we'll have an intro at some point. Well, the one note that I absolutely agree on, number one is that I step all over the guests. So I get too excited. But number two is that I don't sometimes intro in a way that is beneficial for the listener. Oh, I see. So that's what I'm always about and prove. I think sometimes I'm like, oh, I'm corny and being lame. But then I'm like, oh, no, this does serve a purpose of broadcast.
Starting point is 00:01:29 twice it's like like when they like subscribe and like you hate doing all that shit but you know and people would be like yeah I listen to the conversation for 40 minutes and I don't know who you're talking to one of my pet peeves one of my pet peeves is what I when I'm in that position and I'm like who the fuck are you talking to so with that being said John fidelberg is here from the show le mascots go watch it it's out what episode one's out when's it comes it about uh one is 19th episodes one one is out episode one's out go watch it go watch it i think it's good him and former guests harry i don't call him sass i'm not giving him his deaf jam name that he wants a little sass is dead i respect the government name of harry i i've recently very recently because i've worked
Starting point is 00:02:19 with harry for like probably three years now pretty regularly very recently like in the last three months i started calling him harry yeah it's like my buddy james madden who went by mad dog forever and you have moments where you go bad dog guy yeah James so yeah with with sass it does take me even though I just did it right there yeah it's like so programmed in that you go
Starting point is 00:02:40 Harry but what Harry Harry keeps you at arm's length so I always felt like I was far enough back where it's like that's sass okay I feel like I'm in now yeah making a show once we made once once it became a show it was like all right that's Harry and you I mean you guys are on you guys are the two main characters
Starting point is 00:02:55 so and Tommy Tomi Tom's scabelli Tommy smokes great yeah he's he's dude he's awesome him around an overly confident hot girl is a recipe that i will always watch you like um you could put tommy smokes at the miss USA pageant and i would watch every single because when Tommy's in on the joke it's great to watch and be kind of a dick yes he he and he's very good he's a guy that can be kind of a dick where you're not and i don't mean this i'm not i don't mean this in any shady way towards Tommy you're not intimidated by exactly he could be a dick and you're like oh it's funny there's you know when someone's a dick and
Starting point is 00:03:34 you're intimidated you're like I hate this person yeah when someone's a dick and they're not intimidating you go he's and Tommy is not intimidating but is constantly intimidated yeah like he like and I identify with that do you yeah I think I I I walk around a lot more wet wet and nervous than a lot of people you do on the inside absolutely dude that surprises me because you seem like you a lot of confidence you're a big guy yeah but i don't i don't have that inside there as i've said before there's a a small naked wet man behind my controls just going like oh yeah that's everyone mad at me then i go through that's exactly what tommy did Tommy every single shoot every single day we'll get back in the car afterwards and let's be like just want to clear up no one's mad
Starting point is 00:04:20 at me right yeah no dude joe list used to do that a lot when when he drank the next day you would talk to him when you go you mad at me And you're like, no, why? He goes, I sit the whole world's mad at me. And that's why we were like, we probably could drink it if that's your hangover. Dude, we had, we were just in Atlanta like three days ago. And we had, we had done a shoot. And then we went to get pizza afterwards.
Starting point is 00:04:41 Sure. Great pizza, actually. I forget the name of it, but it's delicious. And we're sitting at our table. We got our pizzas. And I don't even notice, but someone's in the, in the restaurant walking back and forth by our table. And I don't even register it. Not a big deal with me.
Starting point is 00:04:55 You didn't clock the threat? Yeah. And then they go and they sit at a table next to us. And Tommy nudges me and he goes, hey, I think those guys just sized this up. Mind you, it's 2 p.m. on a Tuesday afternoon in Atlanta. Yeah, you're like, why? Like, there's no reason to think that. There's no reason.
Starting point is 00:05:11 And so I'm like, but I'm like, all right, I don't know, he said it. Like, I'll pay attention to what that table's saying now. And literally the first sentence I hear when I tune in is a guy going, hey, I saw a pretty nice sun-soaked spot outside. Should we eat out there? And I was like, dude, I don't think those guys were sizes. How did you think, how did you feel intimidation? Hey, check my six real quick.
Starting point is 00:05:31 And he like starts doing stuff. He goes, I can get the leg off that chair. I'll beat one of them to death. I need you to get a blade from behind. I don't know if there's a line cutter behind the bar. Something jammed into that dude's throat. I completely understand that. What sucks more is when you're right, when you're, when people are actually doing it.
Starting point is 00:05:49 And then you're like, it just makes you do it more all the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We were in, we did a comedy festival in Dublin. I hope I didn't tell this story on the podcast already. I really try to avoid retelling stories. I hate it because then I just feel like a hack. But we did the Vodafone comedy festival in Dublin. And it was,
Starting point is 00:06:09 it's an awesome festival. It's like in the middle of this park in Dublin and they have like tents and just the crowds come in. It's fucking sick. I've done it a couple times. I love the festival. They bring Americans over. It was me,
Starting point is 00:06:22 Joe DeRosa, Annie Letterman, and Lisa Traeger, right? And the four of us, we're like, we'll go get luck. Now, I am with the Avengers of Shit Talking. De Rosa, Annie, and Lisa Trager.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Combined force of shit talking is the world's never seen it. So like, let's go get lunch. And we're like walking through Dublin. And we're just, we're doing that thing where we're like, well, just find a place. We're not like Googling it and checking reviews. We're like, well, just, oh, you know. And so we keep walking and we don't find anything.
Starting point is 00:06:53 And then we get to this restaurant. We bump into an Irish comic. and it's very like Brooklyn-y. It's like everything. It's minimalized. Yeah, yeah. It just looks like Williamsburg. And we're like, the four of us are like, no, let's keep going.
Starting point is 00:07:07 So we keep pushing. Finally, there's a woman outside smoking a cigarette and a bathrobe. Annie's from Philly. So that's, that's comfort food for her. And she walks up and she's like, hey, we're trying to find a restaurant. It's like, you know, it's like noon and the woman has her, or like her little pink, Terry Cloth Road closed and she goes You can go to the pub next hour
Starting point is 00:07:29 Dolores is making sandwiches And we're like oh no she goes go to the pub next Star to make sandwiches and we're like I'm with Joe de Rosa I'm with Joey roses The King of Sandwiches This is before This is before the sandwich shop So we go in
Starting point is 00:07:42 There's a table of dudes drinking It's 1230, it's Ireland who gives shit There's a woman watching a woman is drinking a beer with a pen and pad watching horse races and we're like like, hey, do you guys do food here? And she's like, I can make you sandwiches. And we're like, all right.
Starting point is 00:08:01 And then the bartender's like, Delars will make you some sandwiches, take a seat. So we sit down. I'm wearing a Queens of the Stone Age shirt. This is how I knew it was going. So we're sitting there and I see the guys and they're all talking and they're looking at us. And I do the thing Tommy Smokes does. I go, I think those guys are sizing us up.
Starting point is 00:08:18 And as I say that, one of the guys comes by and bumps my chair. And I was like, that felt a little. And then he goes, where I'm. are you from and i go oh we're all from the united states i think joe was like the first to go we're from the united states and he's like yeah where are you from and and i go i live in new york uh we some of us live in new york some of us live in l a and he goes i'm from boston and i want to go well you clearly not yeah he goes i'm from boston fuck the yankees like that and i go yeah man fuck the yankees i'm a giant's fan they can suck my dick and he's like fuck the nicks and i go fuck
Starting point is 00:08:55 the next two go nuggets so i'm not this guy's not getting what he wants yeah yeah he wants to get a reaction so then he'll eat he can tell he's like pretty drunk guy leaves comes back around and sits down and we're eating our sandwiches at this point and i'm like it just feels like these guys have a problem yeah and then i hear one of them clearly go who wants to bloke in the queen's shirt like that and i went oh boy and we finish our sandwiches and i'm like there are By the way, we are talking so much shit loudly about American comedians. That's what we're like, he's a fucking hack. And Lisa's like, this guy stinks.
Starting point is 00:09:34 And he's like, I watched her bomb. She fucking sucks. So we're all just talking shit. And I have to interrupt it. And I feel like, guys, I think those guys are, I pulled the Tommy. I think those guys are sizing this up. And Therosa goes, what? No, dude.
Starting point is 00:09:49 They're not. You fucking paranoid, dude. And I was like, I really think I am. I really think those guys, and I go, Joe, they're going to fight you and me. They're not going to fight Annie and Lisa. And he's like, I don't know. And I go to pay the bill. And the bartender is like way warmer and nicer than he was when we walked in.
Starting point is 00:10:09 And he's like, you guys are from America, huh? Where are you from? I live in New York. And Joe's like, I'm from, I lived in Philly. I'm from Philly. And he's like, great MMA. He's like, start talking about UFC. And he's like great.
Starting point is 00:10:19 And I pay and I tip. And he goes, come on. And then he walks. I go, we all get up. to leave and he walks us out of the bar right yeah very oddly same door go out the front door and we leave and i'm like that felt weird but there was no confirmation so we go to do the shows now des bishop who like lived in ireland and is like an irish comic is there with us right and annie and him are talking this is before this is later that night at a show and annie and him are talking and
Starting point is 00:10:50 And Dez is like, hey, to like me. He's like, come here. He said, do you know where the fuck you were at? And I was like, oh, I don't know. We like went into a pub and had lunch. He was like, you're at an IRA bar. No. And you're like, oh, no.
Starting point is 00:11:03 He's like, those guys wanted to fight you. He's like, they absolutely wanted to fight you. And we were like, oh. And that's what I told Joe was like, I fucking do it. And Joe's like, all right, all right. You called it. I was like, I fucking. Oh, the threat of danger.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Because they were like, the way they were eyeing us up and like not stopping staring at us, I was like, oh, no. But then that fucked me up, because then it got confirmed. So now I'm like in hyperdrive for the next five years. Anytime someone's looking at me, I'm like, they're probably IRA. We're in Wisconsin. And I'm like, they're IRA. They're going to put a pipe bomb in our car.
Starting point is 00:11:40 But there's also the fact that like, like I was in Dublin recently and I have a few Irish buddies. So I met up with them and they lived there. I met up with them in a bar. And it was like 10, 30, 11 o'clock at night or whatever. like, all right, boys, I'm out of here. And they're like, Jesus, Johns, you're going to walk home now. And I was like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:55 I'm going to walk home. They're like, it's a little dodgy out there. And I'm like, listen, Europe. I'm from America. What are they going to do? Shoot me? No. Like, I'm, I was.
Starting point is 00:12:05 They put the blade to you, dude. But when I'm in Europe, I, and not that I'm like always there or anything like that, but when I'm there, I have no fear. None whatsoever. That is a glaring weakness in Americans. Because I'm going to tell you right now, I love America. I love being an American. Our fitness is off.
Starting point is 00:12:24 I believe Europeans, most Europeans can run a great distance while smoking. Like they're just built to do it. I feel like when you have guns, you're more used to gun violence. Yes. Whereas when you have knives, you're probably pretty tough to deal with.
Starting point is 00:12:40 And they fight in a way that is like, if we get into a fight in America, you go, what if they, what if they have a gun? Right. That's always the thing. if you start a fight with these like i feel like and obviously i'm not i'm probably wrong but it just
Starting point is 00:12:55 feels like europeans look at fist fighting more casually with like soccer hooligan energy that kind of shit i can i can 100% see i feel like they would just sock us up you're a hockey player i feel like the common european man is closer to a hockey player than the common american man yeah i would say that because hockey players can just fight and they also have a black guy right now. I'm talking to a guy with a black eye right now. This isn't like out of the realm. I'm just saying a lot of Americans, I think we think we're better at fighting, but we never fight. And Europeans don't think about it. And they just fight a lot. I would, I would agree with that. I've only been in one fight ever in Europe. By the way, this is not from a fight. Oh, that'd be
Starting point is 00:13:39 great. And this was doubling. You didn't let me finish my story. You're doing that thing where you cut people off. This was the walk home. And I go, ah, right there. You're right there. The, uh, this is from filming, actually. Really? Filming the show. From the show? Yeah, dude, there's a scene. So it starts, let me say, love mascots, starts, it's out now.
Starting point is 00:13:59 First episode, seven episodes. So subscribe to the channel and then watch it. And then watch enough so these guys get a season two. That's very nice. And then you can cast Brendan Sagalo as your little brother. That's the whole thing. I'm just angling you and Sagalo not, have to play brothers. I don't know if you know him.
Starting point is 00:14:16 Of course I know Sago, yeah. You two would be. How do I not know Saglo? We've been saying we look identical. Not we, but they've been saying we look identical for 10 years. You are absolutely the, if you're the successful brother that bails Brendan out, very bad. And it's crazy that Fidelberg's the succeed, you know what I mean? You're the one with his life a mess, and then Sagalow's got even bigger a mess.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Where he's like, what the fuck? It's actually perfect because Ari plays our older brother. I love that. I love that. But as I said, so we're filming a scene like just last week where, don't get me wrong this is not an action scene by any stretch the imagination but i have to do a barrel at one point okay and i haven't done a barrel over 25 a barrel's not as easy as easy thing oh i haven't done a barrel roll and over 30 damn near impossible i was going to say 30 years probably yeah and i fucking
Starting point is 00:15:04 dive onto the ground and my shoulder hits just perfectly like you know when you do a somersault and you feel like the momentum start to flip you i haven't done a somersault probably if i wasn't drunk, a sober somersault, 35 years. That's what, yeah. But you remember the feeling. You remember when that centripical force starts to flip.
Starting point is 00:15:27 Oh, I got. Were you to pull it? The whole thing is just giving your whole roll into it. So I dive, right? And my shoulder hits perfectly. And I'm like, I'm feeling that momentum. Yeah. And in my head, I'm like, dude, you nailed this. I was like, this is going to
Starting point is 00:15:45 look so fucking sick on. Oh my God, dude. Tom Cruise doesn't have shit on you, bro. You're like, I'm the fucking man. And as I go to pop up after the barrel, there was a camera right there. And I just went right into the lens. How did you do, how did you cover it when you bump your head? Do you do the thing where you grab it and you go, no, no, or do you just go and then try to walk it off?
Starting point is 00:16:10 No, I did the, like, try and look cool. Yeah. Where like I probably, you know, like when you get, again, not they get hit in the face all the time, but when you get hit. you're like, is another one coming? Yeah. So I like popped up and was like looking around. And then I was like, is the camera good? Is the camera like trying to make sure we get the shot?
Starting point is 00:16:25 Yeah. You just go back into that. Cameras all set, right? We're good with the shot. It's clean. When we were, I was just in Portland, Maine doing shows at the Empire Comedy Club. Great club. It's awesome little fucking room.
Starting point is 00:16:37 I love it. I had a blast. But Sagalow and I were outside smoking a bowl and it was windy. And I went to go between the door. The door was open, right? So the door was propped open So I was gonna put the bowl in there And there was like a lockbox
Starting point is 00:16:52 So I fucking slam my head into it But I tried to act cool in front of Brendan and Damien And I was like, I'm fine But then I was occasionally checking if I was bleeding Because I don't know if you ever busted your head open like that But you hit and you don't feel it And then all of a sudden It feels wet.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Yeah And then you just go like I don't know if you ever had blood trickle down your head But when it happens you go like What was that? When I was in middle school I wrestled with this kid Martel and he like pulled my head into the locker
Starting point is 00:17:18 and it went into the like my you know the thing that you like lift your locker up to pull it and like went in there and he just like you didn't like me to be like bam we were like wrestling the hallway and I pulled off I was like oh you didn't get that and then it just went and then just blood started trickling down
Starting point is 00:17:32 and I was like oh no I'm like walking into class I'm like Brian Cushing Brian Cushing that was fucking nuts dude I had a kid one time I was a freshman in high school and you know when you like you'd flick coins at people.
Starting point is 00:17:47 People got so good at that. Dude, like doing like pennies. Yeah. Did you ever have that? People could, you always had to flick it like that and they would fucking shoot it up. It would fucking come out like a bullet, dude.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Those kids were, God only knows where they are. All in jail. All in jail. They're like the cookie monster. Their CEOs are in jail. But this kid came in one day and I was sitting in the front of class and he was like, Yo, Fidelberg.
Starting point is 00:18:09 And he did that. And it hit me right in the eye perfectly where I just immediately. where I just immediately lost consciousness. So he came in, he went, yo, final break. And went, I just collapsed onto the table. That might be that guy's greatest day of his life. When you knock someone out with a middle school thing, dude, have I had a spitball?
Starting point is 00:18:31 I woke up in the nurse's office. Really? They were like, they're like, you have a scratch retina. You got to go to the hospital. I was like, what happened? So for your perspective, you're walking in. No, I was seated.
Starting point is 00:18:43 You were seated. I would see that he walked in the class. I was just like, oh, what an entrance. So when I went down, on the table. Heads up seven up,
Starting point is 00:18:51 dude. You got fucking popped. Waking up in the nervous office has to be the most embarrassed. I changed schools. No way. Not actually, I did change schools,
Starting point is 00:19:01 not because of that, but I did change schools. That was 100% the rumor why you did it. He said, yeah, remember he and then he got popped with the penny and then he fucking went to his school. He didn't want to be around. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:19:11 that is embarrassing stuff. like that in middle school or middle school will sink you like getting dropped dude but that guy after he did that he's probably like looking at his hand and he's like i'm fucking danger yeah like told mcguire in the mirror dude if i just hit someone with a spitball and like and they went down i'd be like i'd be trying that shit all the time my i'd be like aiming it at my mom's boyfriend at dinner what are you doing i just shut up this worked at school today trying to knock Joe out.

Starting point is 00:22:28 We consider it. Well, you have a machine of bar stool behind you. Yeah, we had like, we had talked to a few people who were like, it's kind of worth pitching, but it had gone to the point where we were like, let's just put it out. Like, if it's worth, if it's good, it'll get a season. and two somewhere. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:42 Let's just put it out. I mean, I think that's like, I always think that's like kind of an important thing to share with the audience because I, as a fan of stuff,
Starting point is 00:22:49 I always want to know. And it's like, we've reached a point now where it makes more sense just to make it on your own. Yeah. Because these companies are just, they're frantically,
Starting point is 00:22:59 they're grabbing it whatever. Right. No one, the media landscape has shifted so much that it's like, dude, Howard Stern freaking out has been so interesting. Wait, I didn't even know that.
Starting point is 00:23:10 So Sirius XM, they're not, basically what they're saying is his contract's expiring. And Sirius XM's like, we're not going to give you $200 million. You're fucking irrelevant. I was just, I haven't even heard his name. You're absolutely irrelevant. And the article I read today in the New York Post said that he gets like super pissed about Alex Cooper signing that $150 million deal. And he's mad about Joe Rogan being like, oh, everyone talks. Because Rogan's in the, people don't think about this.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Rogan's in the position that Howard was in. Yeah, oh yeah. Where Howard was like, if you wanted the interview, you go on Howard, you know what I mean? Here's the thing. I worked at Sirius XM for eight years. I will tell you this right now, I'm kind of enjoying watching Howard freak the fuck out. Really? Truly, I'm finding that out because Big Jay would never say this.
Starting point is 00:24:02 Big Jay is a acolyte of Howard Stern. He loves Howard Stern. He's a huge fan, knows everything the guy did. I like the private parts. Yeah, yeah. I read Miss America. It's about it. Right.
Starting point is 00:24:14 I understand what he did. I respect the fuck out of Howard Stern's career. He was the number one guy. He dominated an insane field. You're a relic. You're a dinosaur. Remember when he went after Ari Shafir? A couple years ago.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Do you remember that? About 2015-2060, we could look it up. He was very publicly like, Shafir's shit on Howard Stern somewhere. Howard Stern's like, who the fuck is this Ari Shafir guy? Let me tell you something, buddy. Podcasting isn't going anywhere. It's fucking, you got to go to broadcasting school, become a broadcaster.
Starting point is 00:24:48 You're like, you fucking boomer. You sound so old. How does someone like that, like someone like Howard Stern, get stuck thinking old? Where it's like, dude, you thought young. And then that's how you became you? It's what happens to all of them. It's what happened to Lauren Michaels. It's what like.
Starting point is 00:25:09 you get rich and you get insulated so people don't give you honest opinions because they're trying to get the money that you have so they're just going like yes yes right so no one's going well howard it's actually evolving but when you when you were someone who did the evolving like shouldn't you shouldn't you realize like someone's probably going to evolve it's probably because all of his energy went into evolving yeah and it's like why would you want to do it again here's why retiring is so important it's necessary because you don't want to do that second or third or fourth evolution to stay relevant. Right.
Starting point is 00:25:41 The thing that where I started getting annoyed with Howard is he was publicly pissed off because he went to a Knicks game and none of the players recognized him. No one cared. And the refs did. And I was like, yeah, the refs are all greased-haired guys that are like, hey, Baba Boy's penis. How you doing, Howard? Watch me call charge on this big black.
Starting point is 00:26:02 And like, nah, I'm your boss. But he went on his show and he was like, you know, I feel so insulted. No one fucking knew who I was. And it's honestly, I can, I have empathy with him because imagine being the biggest guy in the world
Starting point is 00:26:19 and everything under you crumbles. Right. So I have complete empathy for him. That he was the king and now it's all changed. The landscape's completely changed. Where I get annoyed is as a former employee of Sirius XM, he did fucking nothing to help
Starting point is 00:26:38 the future generations. We weren't allowed to play Howard Stern clips. We weren't allowed to talk about Howard Stern. All Big Jay wanted was acknowledgement from Howard Stern on the Bonfire. And one time someone called in Howard Stern and they're like, yeah, what's up, Hey, Bonfire, Crackle, Crackle, Crackle. And he hung up and he goes, crackle, crackle, what the fuck is that shit? And then it's like, and we wanted to play it.
Starting point is 00:27:00 And then our bosses were like, you do not play a clip of Howard Stern. And we're like, we're on his. thing yeah like that so i don't have any sympathy for him that was not that i've been to i have empathy but i don't have sympathy i'm like i get that you the things have changed that must suck to be in that position but fuck you but dude not again you were at serious a million times more often than we ever were yeah there was a phase where we were going up there yeah somewhat regularly and to a person there wasn't one person who ever talked to us at serious who didn't say howard stern's a fucking asshole well he shuts down he has a whole
Starting point is 00:27:38 whole wing that you're not allowed to go to. People would always say that. He has an elevator that you don't even see him. You're not allowed to talk to him in the hallway. You have to get out of the way. That's insane, dude. How do you end up like that? You did a lot of good stuff.
Starting point is 00:27:50 You're not that talented. No one is that talented. No one's Saudi Arabian prince talented. Like you do not look at him. You must look at the ground. If Howard is here, you do not speak to him. You do not bring him up. It's like, dude, Stern could have put over
Starting point is 00:28:07 he's just now he just sucks off celebrities that are already made so no one gives a shit Howard you're just a part of a public run that everyone has to do when they have a high power publicist you didn't grow anybody you didn't go hey this big j guy super funny yeah big fan of mine have him come on j should have been on stern as early as 2016 and i'm saying that as his co-host because if the opportunity ever would have came if they were going hey we want the bonfire on stern you know what that would have done we would have been young and funny and around him and and we would have been looking for his basically approval right and then it would have just grown and then you'd go oh well stern well when he doesn't and then it sets up serious to go well we got
Starting point is 00:28:55 the next guy then there's an air because there's an air but there's no air so no one gives a fuck so don't get mad about Alex Cooper don't get mad about Joe Rogan you fucking did this this is where I'm annoyed this is the only reason because I brought it up and I'm like fuck this I got a podcast. I'll say this. He doesn't count this as broadcasting. His old ass isn't going to listen. Also, I was, I like Howard Stern. I wish he would have done the right thing. That's that to that I'd heard it. Obviously, like I said, I'd heard it when I go to serious that like he's an asshole. He can't talk to him. But not setting up the company for the future. And the company that you built, the company that will have. Dude, the company that paid you half a billion dollars.
Starting point is 00:29:32 The company that will probably more than a billion. Likely continue to if you continue to build the company but also this is where I don't understand it's like when I see obviously I'm a giant pro wrestling fan and I see wrestlers get older and you're like they still want to wrestle they still want to be the man and it's like you have old man tits I don't want to see you flop around with your old man titties become a manager manager young talent and then you got the heat of you being an old being like well this guy was a legendary wrestler if he's picked like I never understood why Hulk Hogan was never a manager or like you put him in the corner of a guy because it's the ego is so big they don't want to put over anybody and i would i would say i'm i dave obviously tried to build barstool in like stern's vein
Starting point is 00:30:16 sure i would say dave does the exact opposite of that where dave has well he understands business he he not that he's like naming it no matter if you agree with him on what the guy knows business he's grown his company into a very successful thing serious is scared that's why they're giving alex cooper 150 million that's why they're giving the fucking other people these crazy contracts but also fuck stern how much goddamn money do you need like that's my thought i mean that's my thought on like a lot of people is like you're comfortable like dude you how awful are you trying to make your grandkids that's my question you keep asking for money that's fine you'll be fine your grandkids are going to suck an asshole because they're going to be the children of rich kids right
Starting point is 00:30:59 which very hard to get out of dude we were talking about it with just like i think actors the other day something like that where who are we talking about i forget but there's some actor who like oh we haven't seen him in a while like oh it must be must've been hard for him to get work and it's like no dude he made 20 million dollars on his last movie he didn't need to get work jim carey has enough money that he never has to do anything again right if he wants to paint he can paint you wants to make a movie you can make a movie and it doesn't mean he's not doing things i'm sure he's doing little things that make him happy but like go away so people can miss you yes you you said that once when you came on and I always remember that I remember when you come on a lot because you say a lot
Starting point is 00:31:35 of good stuff but you what a way to fucking yeah man we're gonna push this episode he just oh every time you come on you're so strong and brave you never get scared in IRA bars it's so cool dude you're ready to take on all those Irishmen I'll bring you troubles yeah dude I would have fucked him they would have kicked this shit out of me and the Rosa and then Annie and Lisa would have just been screaming primal screams. Leave him alone. It's a slapping squash.
Starting point is 00:32:05 I can't break him. God, you fucking break him. I can't break him. He doesn't have bones. It's like I'm punching a worm. He scores his old head. Knock him in his big head.
Starting point is 00:32:16 His fucking body will follow. Yeah. I, dude, the, sorry, I was just a go away thing? No,
Starting point is 00:32:23 one other thing you've said that has genuinely changed my life. Hell yeah. That's awesome. Dude, this is, like, like I'm dead.
Starting point is 00:32:30 serious. I owe you like a hundred days. You go, eat my poop. I said eat poop. It's, it's close. Oh, no. Oh, no. Bro, when I'm laying in bed, I remember when I first saw a son of a Gary. Yeah. And I was, I was, I watched you. I honestly forget the set up, but it's like, you're not eating late enough. Oh, yeah. And I always thought, I was like, that doesn't make any sense. You don't eat before bed. And dude, whenever I'm laying in bed, tossing and turning, I'm like, I got to eat. Oh, no. That's so bad for you. That's like the horridst medical advice. But I am asleep in a fucking. moment, dude. I like, I wake up,
Starting point is 00:33:02 like, don't get me wrong. I wake up, there's chocolate all over my bed. Oh, yeah, you can't. Every doctor would tell you that that is the worst advice to follow. It happened. Last night, I got in, I got in back to New York at like 2 a.m. I got back to my apartment at like 3, and I was so fucking tired and I was in bed, tossed, but it was, you know, like,
Starting point is 00:33:18 over tired, sure, I couldn't fall asleep. And I'm like, God, I got soda in the morning. What the fuck of my. He goes, that's what he? I said, wait, get some snacks. Yeah, I mean, I'm never going to hate on some snacking. I love some snacking. In fact, last night I had to fight it because I was like, I got home late and I was like, I just want to eat. I'm going, we're obsessed with freeze dried skittles.
Starting point is 00:33:37 Oh, wait, really? I haven't bought them yet. Brother. Really? Oh, my brother in Christ. It is a motherfucker. It is. We first had them on, I had them on Bert's tour bus on the fully loaded tour.
Starting point is 00:33:53 Yeah. And they got like the Skittles wasn't making them. So they were like, you could buy them at candy shops and they'd be. we called like a freeze dried like fruit and it was clearly skittles yeah that were popped out and then skittles was like well if you motherfuckers are going to do it we're just going to do it with it and now you're like oh oh man and we dude katie and i do it like cocaine we literally we call go puff like it's our plug we're like do you want to order go put you're like dude i've seen them a lot because they're pushing them they're at the front of the
Starting point is 00:34:26 let's try them on the way out all right we got two bags you got one of them open and then last Last night, Katie, was like, we can't have freeze red skittles this late. I go, I know, it's just a couple lines. Can I just get one for a key bump? This crack and then there are dust. Yeah, that's like, but back to the stern thing. I think that's my problem with media is that they just don't set up anybody. Like, what you guys are making, it sucks there's not a comedy central around to go like,
Starting point is 00:34:56 yeah, we'll take a shot on this. Yeah. Because whenever you read stories about famous shows or famous. famous things that became it was like SNL they're like we'll take a shot on this thing and now it's an institution that is what I read um you know like Hollywood reported us like those round tables yeah uh I read oh man it's just that's just a fucking lemon party yeah most of those actors just actors just actors actors just actors actors just remember when you played napoleon dude dude oh fuck oh punk we're on a six one shoot I'm gonna fucking lose it that's both the round tables
Starting point is 00:35:27 but much like much like lemon party yeah I'm like, I don't know, something about it for me. I wish I was in this space. There's something about it that just makes it appealing to look at. Oh, man, imagine you and the boys in the retirement home laying around in a perfect triangle like that? But Melissa McCarthy said basically exactly that, where she was like, in the new age, it sucks because you're arguing with an algorithm. Yeah. Whereas like 10 years ago, 15 years ago, you could get someone in a suit to believe in you.
Starting point is 00:36:00 And be like, you know what, let's take a shot on this person. Whereas now it's just like the numbers don't make sense. So now, I mean, now they're not even hiding it. They just go, how many followers do you have? Yeah. And you go, I don't know. That's the weird thing to me is now people make stuff based on if people are watching you already. And you go, well, you're supposed to like Netflix is like, well, we don't give you a special unless you have like a million followers.
Starting point is 00:36:25 And you're like, but how am I supposed to get to a million followers? Yeah. You're the biggest part. Right. You're supposed to go, hey, this guy made a really good thing. Here you go, but they don't care if it's good anymore. Now they go, they have a million followers. Put the slop out.
Starting point is 00:36:38 Yeah. Because those people, they are really treating us like pigs. Just know that. All streamers, all networks, they're treating you like a pig. They just go, and they throw it in the thing and you go, and you're like, scoot over. I want to watch, you know, and then occasionally you get a severance. Occasionally you get like something that breaks through the mold and is in that.
Starting point is 00:36:59 but like even HBO lost its Riz so bad that they were like we're HBO Max again they were like nah yeah you you got a great show and you're like we got a great show and you're like well what's up with shark week I don't know dude I was drunk and I hooked up with her that's what they're doing they got fucking hammered and we did a merger I didn't even know but it just like watching like stuff that you make like the show you made that should be something that
Starting point is 00:37:29 a network should be like, oh, do we have an interest in? Should we make it? Yeah. Let's take a risk. Like, I just did something with the almost Friday guys. Oh, yeah. And they make shit that you're like, these guys should all be employed by S&L. Back in the day, they would have been like, Lauren would have been like, well, we got to hire all these guys.
Starting point is 00:37:44 They're all great actors. They're funny. They have like a thing. But now it's like, well, I understand them just going to making their own shit. Yeah. Because why would I, why would you take any notes now? Because you guys have made seven episodes making your own shit. That was, honestly, that was.
Starting point is 00:37:58 honestly that was while we were writing it we were like constantly saying that we're like hopefully this is the last time we can ever do this without notes i mean so let's just do whatever the fuck we want no notes is the best feeling of the world when we did when we did all in the road that was probably my favorite stand-up thing i've ever made because it truly was just me and him going let's just cut that joke just because i don't like it like i guys we could start it off way stronger and then you put it out and people are like this is awesome and you go great because this is just what we made and we didn't want i didn't have to to have a guy
Starting point is 00:38:29 Bill Burr said this one time on his podcast where he's like I can't stand conference calls because there's always one guy he's like I just throw my phone on the bed and let him talk and there's one guy proving that he has to have a job
Starting point is 00:38:40 so he goes oh maybe we should change the color of the background pimps rolling his eyes right now because he knows that he produces so much stuff that he knows there's guys that are just literally in the way where they go like this is a great idea
Starting point is 00:38:53 can I poop on it would you mind if I shit on the chest of your idea And then you have to go, no, great to meet you, Corey. Okay, and you were at Cartoon Network for five years as an assistant, and you're going to butt fuck our whole project. Great. Like, we did, you know, I was on, which you guys really helped.
Starting point is 00:39:15 I went on KFC when we were stalled, Dan St. Germain and I wrote a cartoon with Stone Cold Steve Austin. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we were stalled on it. And then I went on, I don't know if I ever told you the story. I went on KFC, we talked about it, you guys put it out as a clip, Barstool put it out as a clip, I was in Charlotte at the Comedy Zone,
Starting point is 00:39:37 I got off stage, St. Germain was featuring for me, so we're both together on the road. I turned my phone on after, like, off airplane mode. Like, so many texts and calls from UTA, they never call. They never call me. My, like, my agent Mike will text me. But seeing UTA miscalls, you're like, oh, no.
Starting point is 00:40:01 And they're like, and I call my big agent, like the guy that only reaches out when shit's real. And he was like, I just got off the phone with Nick Kahn from WWE, the president of WWE. He's, well, he's really angry. And I was like, about what? And he's like, Barstool put out a clip of you talking about the show. And I was like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:22 And my agent was like, all right, well, we're in a little crisis mode right now because they were like really angry that you were very public about. And I was like, fuck them. They're stalling. They're not getting back to us on notes. They're not telling us what they want. I mean, that process was four years of them just fucking edging us.
Starting point is 00:40:39 Four years of edging us, 2020 to 2020 to 2024, edging us. To the point where Stone Cold stopped responding to the emails, and I don't blame it because it was just out of thing. But I remember being like, oh no. Like, are we in trouble? And then my manager called me and he was like, great job.
Starting point is 00:40:57 he's like great job he's like because now now they're going to do something yeah now the balls and it was and they're like it picked back up and we like started talking and then peacock we we got to the point where we wrote the show we wrote the episode a pilot that they like this is why i hate the fucking and i'm sorry if this is too much industry talk for uh listeners but we wrote a script that i loved and was so good that peacock was like telling our managers like oh we're like passing it around the office like people love this script it's so funny the idea of stone cold working at a black law firm with like miss pat is so funny and i don't think i knew that part that's fucking unreal and it was like yeah he like his yeah like the main villain was
Starting point is 00:41:45 stephen seagall and it was like all this stuff that was so fucking weird but funny but based in wrestling you know we had like um stone cold went to a different world called habeas corpus where it was all dead Supreme Court justices and dead wrestlers and so it was like, dude, that was the most fun part of making that show was explaining that scene to Stone Cold Steve Austin
Starting point is 00:42:10 about like, you know, and then like Third Good Marshall will be talking to Andre the Giant and he was like, son of a bitch just on the Zoom and he's like, I love it. He was like way on board. We were doing, I think we were doing macho man talking to Scalia and we were like, Yeah, you have to understand something.
Starting point is 00:42:29 That, they were like, pussy versus Ferguson. That was it. They're like arguing cases. So it was like a really fun thing. Pussy versus. And then they were like talking about how they love the script. And then you watched a network network it, where they just went, um, uh, no, really. And then now we can't make that show because they own that show.
Starting point is 00:42:52 So if anyone ever wanted to make that show, they'd have to go pay Peacock to buy that. to buy that show because they own the rights to it. And with the WWE, it was the intellectual property of the WWE, so the WWE are co-owners. So Dan and I and Steve own none of it. So he just can't do it. So you're just out there when, it's just dead.
Starting point is 00:43:12 It's just dead. But we wrote another cartoon and we sold it to Fox. But to bring it back to what we were talking about, I was like, I'll make this. I'll make this. Like I will take money from my upcoming tour and just spend it on animation and do three 10-minute episodes,
Starting point is 00:43:29 similar to what you guys are doing. Because I love the premise of this cartoon. So it's based on my childhood when I would visit my dad. And I was like, no, I want to make this. So when we went into meetings with Netflix with Amazon or whatever, I was very like, hey, I'm going to make this.
Starting point is 00:43:44 Yeah, I don't need you. If you want to make it with me, sick. Yes. But I want to make this. And I want to make this specifically how I want to make this. And they were like, you know, it's fucking 24-year-old. going like there's like one old guy who's barely there and then a 24 year old going like
Starting point is 00:43:59 the vibes the vibes like I'm just like loving the vibes of what you're saying it's like it needs to be shown and you're like shut the fuck up you don't mean any of this but then Fox bought it and then immediately there by the way I want to state this Fox has been awesome and we're making the show I want to make but there was a moment where a new guy showed up and he went oh like that And you were like, and then we had to have a side meeting with the head lady. And I go, I don't know what that was. I don't like that. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:31 But I'm at the point now where it's like, you kind of realize if you work back in the day, 10 years ago working with a network, you would be like, sure. Yeah. Absolutely. And we can make that work and we'll change it. But now it's to the point where you go, well, you guys aren't making shit. Everyone else is making good stuff. Right.
Starting point is 00:44:47 The reason tires, great job, by the way. Oh, thank you. Yes. I mean, Fiderberg had a scene with both Vince Vaughn and. and Shane Dillis. Was that cool? Did you get to... Dude, it was...
Starting point is 00:44:59 Like, in between setups, did you get to talk to Vince Vaughn? Yes. Was he the... I think either the Pats and Bears had just played or we were playing or we were just talking...
Starting point is 00:45:07 Oh, and you're a Boston guy? He's a Bears fan? So, like, it ended up, like, being perfect. I also didn't know I was doing that scene until that day. I had gotten a different role. Oh, really? So I got a different role and then...
Starting point is 00:45:18 What did you... Would you tell us originally what the role was? Yeah, it was one of the tire guys when Shane... It's the... We're doing the selling at the... Yeah. at the conference one of the guys on the floor trying to get tickets to that uh to the fucking
Starting point is 00:45:29 andrew tate guy yes yeah and like i had gone to hair and makeup and they did my hair like i mean if you saw it like really weird like in a way i never have that funny because you you're a guest but you don't want to give the you're like i i don't like this yeah i was like i was like i don't know like this just doesn't feel like a tire salesman in philly like i looked like a stoner and so mckeever was on set and we were kind of hanging out down there and he saw I mean, my guess is he saw me and was like, that dude does not get a tire salesman. Yeah. So he changed roles.
Starting point is 00:46:00 And he was like, here's a script, go to wardrobe, change, and get back here. And I didn't, I didn't know Vince Vaughn was in the episode. Really? So I didn't know anything. So I was like. Were you a little, how did you find out Vince Vaughn was in the episode? I came downstairs and was like, he was like, you ready? And I was like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:15 And he's like, all right, it's you, Shane and Vince. And I was like, who's Vince? And he's like, Vince Vaughn. And I was like, oh, fuck me. Did you get cold water? Did you get the swimming in cold water? our feeling we were like not really

Can we use this in the scene?
Starting point is 00:49:50 I was like, I'm fine. Let's go. And then Netflix people were like, he can't do a scene openly bleeding everywhere. But imagine if you would have got that scene. This is what I'm talking about. McKeever's got the instinct. But it is true.
Starting point is 00:50:05 Tires is made because McKeever and Shane made something and went, here's the proof. And then Shane's the fucking heavyweight champ of comedy. So they were like, oh, we'll make a TV show. And then Netflix looks brilliant because they fucking gave a show, but it was already made. That's the thing. It's like you fucking, they made it. Yes, it was made for YouTube.
Starting point is 00:50:24 And then you guys were like, oh, well, if people like this shit, we'll just make it for real. And everyone's like, oh, they're fucking genius. Yeah. They took a guaranteed win. They're fighting tomato cans. Vince Vaughn's demand. So you get to hang out with them at all? I mean, not a ton at all.
Starting point is 00:50:40 But like, you know, sometimes the downtime in between scenes is you're like, oh, let me walk. over there. You just hope he doesn't look at his phone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whenever there was a big celebrity, they look at their phone, you go, fuck, on billions, I'd always be like, ah, Jerry O'Connell's looking at his phone. God damn it. I want to talk to him about sliders.
Starting point is 00:50:57 He would, before the last take, though, he did, like, not like pull us into a tight huddle, but he kind of gave McKeever came out, he's like, all right, boys, we got it, like, just have a fun one. And then Vince Vaughn kind of gave, like, me and Shane, like, the little thing, goes, all right, boys, now the stakes stay the same. The stakes stay the same. But then we riff,
Starting point is 00:51:13 then we riff. That's so, whatever you say bro that's so fun that'll get me geeked out I'm like I love you can kiss you I want to kiss you I kiss you I love you so much and then after that I was done right you know I was there for 20 minutes but then I just stood in the corner and just like watched him oh yeah because I was like if you're gonna let me sit here I'm gonna fucking sit here
Starting point is 00:51:31 and watch Vince Vaughn uh Vince Vaughn is a guy that um absolutely is worth meeting yeah he's the real deal he like he's he is he is who you hope he is bro when I met him so we get down a McKeeper's like walking me on a set and he I'm like who's vans he goes Vince Vaughn I look up there's a six five guys I'm I'm like boy I'm like yeah there he is he's on his cell phone just talking Notre Dame ball and I was like of course he is of course he's doing exactly what he should be doing we uh I went to the Super Bowl two years ago in Vegas Niners chiefs Michael Chee got me a ticket chaise a niners fan
Starting point is 00:52:06 and Shane let me crash in his hotel room pickups to the big dog shout out that was fucking huge he was doing a Bud light thing and And then Shane goes, I can just ask Bud Light for another hotel room. And I was like, really? And then he calls him up, he goes, I need another hotel room. And then Shane took the new hotel room and then I just slept in the one he was in. Didn't give a fuck. It was Vegas at the Super Bowl.
Starting point is 00:52:27 It was unbelievable. I was like, dude, this is the greatest. This is the, like a birthday Christmas and wedding gift combined into one. And we go to the Super Bowl. Shane's like with Post Malone. He's with the Bud Light guys. So I know he's in, McCusker was there. And they were all drinking with Shane's dad up in the suite.
Starting point is 00:52:49 I was with Che watching the game. And the 49ers lost in fucking overtime. So we're bummed. I don't want to hang out. I don't want to do anything. Che and I leave the stadium and we're like, what do you want to do? He's like, do you want to get dinner? I was like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:06 And then every place, the Super Bowl just let out. You couldn't get a table anywhere. You literally could not get a table anywhere. and we're at Che's hotel and he's like I ate at this steakhouse like two days ago you want to go see and I was like yeah sure we walk up and the general manager sees Che and comes out of like it's like in one of the hotel so it's like almost like a mall walk yeah yeah yeah and he comes out he goes Michael Jay I guess they fuck Che's steak up and the guy remembered and he's like I'm so sorry about your steak the other night and Chez like oh I don't really care about that he's like are you guys trying to get a table and Chea was like yeah but we can't sit and he's like yeah but we can't sit and he's like he's like yeah but we can't sit and he's like he's like yeah but we can't sit and he. where the guy's like, I can get you a table, just two of you. And we're like, yeah. And he walks us into the restaurant, sits us next to Vince Vaughn and his wife and his kid. And Vince Vaughn's sitting there and he knows Che.
Starting point is 00:53:55 And he goes, hey, what's up, Michael? And we're like, good. And he's like, and Vince Vaughn's out in the most Vince Vaughn way that it, if I ever see him again, I'm like, you made me feel better about my team losing a Super Bowl. Because he was like, oh, you guys are nine or fit. He goes, oh, that's so tough. You guys have such a good defense. And I mean, when he when he blew his Achilles
Starting point is 00:54:15 And also Brock Purdy's the man You just got to love Brock Purdy And I was like, yeah I was like, I told Katie I was like, yeah It was like a guardian angel came down I was like you're gonna be all right And you're like thanks mister

Starting point is 00:54:39 But you were like Shane's so famous he doesn't realize how easy it is to text people. Oh, yeah. When we were on set, I was like, how did you get Vince Vaughn? He's like, I guess we're just friends. Yeah, it's nuts, too. It's nuts.
Starting point is 00:54:50 We were like when Jay and I opened for, uh, it was me, James McCann and Big Jay opening for Shane in Salt Lake City. We had done a couple cities with him before, which is just insane. You're like, fly private and just work, you know, and then like, Shane's not a guy where he's going to make you do lame shit during the day. Yeah, yeah. He's not going to be like, we got to go look at the forest. He's like, I want to sleep
Starting point is 00:55:13 And I'm like, hell yeah, I want to play Steam Deck and sleep So every city I would We check into the hotel I would like smoke weed Play Steam Deck go walk and get a coffee And then just hang out till the show It fucking ruled
Starting point is 00:55:26 But there's we all separate And then in Salt Lake we were coming together And we're like downstairs And Grace Shane's assistant was like Oh Shane's at the bar with Post Malone And you're like, of course Yeah I was waiting for one of these
Starting point is 00:55:40 of just like a crazy famous person that's hanging out with our friend and then he fuck like he knows Post Malone really well because of the but like commercials and shit but he came out to the show and it was like what's funny about Shane is Shane gets famous people to act regular yeah yeah yeah like he doesn't change
Starting point is 00:55:57 they change for him and I'm talking about NFL players I'm talking about famous actors like you get around Shane and you go Shane's being himself yeah these motherfuckers are bending for him like watching NFL players be like stop.
Starting point is 00:56:11 And she's like, what are you doing to? And you're like, stop. Like watching George Kettle be like, quit it, Shane. And I was like, shut up and fucking chucking a beer with me, pussy. And you're like, this is awesome. Because it's just like you're watching literally your friend have, like, people that I would act gay around. I'm like, oh, well, you're fucking, no, you're just being regular around my friend. I would be like, and one time you caught the ball.
Starting point is 00:56:34 I was like when I spazzed out in front of Nate Diaz talking about the Niners. Because Shane was like, oh, Nate, my buddy Soder's a Niners fan. And I was like, all I'm saying is, got to do this, you got to do that. And Nate was like, I'm not if I'm listening to this. He just fucking walked away. I was like, oh, I's passed too hard on the fucking Niners with Nate Diaz. Dude, that's the word. You just watch him go like, this guy's fucking crazy.
Starting point is 00:56:53 He just walk off. But I am, you're a, you're a Massachusetts. What do they call you guys? It's a great question. Massachusetts? We're Coloradoans, but you're Massachusetts? I don't even know. It's Bostonians.
Starting point is 00:57:10 Bostonians. Austonians from the Commonwealth. From the commonwealth. That sounds sold to gold. But I was never a hockey guy. You play hockey. You're a hockey through and through. Yes.
Starting point is 00:57:20 You're a hockey guy. Yes. I'm getting into hockey and I'm a Bruins fit because I didn't have a team. Yeah. You told me this one on KSRadio. I got so excited. And I'm in. But I feel bad because the second I've checked in,
Starting point is 00:57:35 you guys have nosedive, including losing Marchand and like losing stuff that I'm, I'm like, I like that guy. And they're like, well, he's gone now. He was there for 12 years. Losing Marchand is, losing Marchand was one where I didn't, one of those ones like,
Starting point is 00:57:49 you know, I didn't realize it was going to affect me the way it did. That was Jerry Rice to the Raiders for me. Really? Jerry Rice went to the Raiders and I went like, he's old. My God, I miss him. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:58 But like also, but Jerry Rice, Marchan was never Jerry. Like, Marchan was always the other guy, right? Like, so Pastronach, but just the way the team was constructed. Who was the guy?
Starting point is 00:58:08 Like it was Charra at first. but then Bergeron. Okay. And then Bergeron until last year, and then Marciaan became captain. But he, like, Marshaun always, he was always a fan favorite.
Starting point is 00:58:18 Sure. But, like, he was always kind of a pest and kind of a dickhead. So, like, people didn't realize. But you like him when he's on your team. But they also didn't realize how much skill he had.
Starting point is 00:58:27 Yeah. Whereas, like, yeah, he liked to lick a guy's face, but he's also one of the most talented players in the NHL. Sure. And then, like, losing a guy like that, just fucking.
Starting point is 00:58:34 To the Florida Panthers. To the, two, because the Panthers. Let me tell you, since I've checked in, they're my number one rival. There. I don't give a fuck about the original six. I don't care who you have history with.
Starting point is 00:58:45 My history as being a Boston Bruins fan, which is only four years old, if fuck the Florida Panthers. But here's the thing with the Panthers is I can't hate them because they play such perfect hockey. They play, they just remind me of the 2011 Boston Bruins
Starting point is 00:59:01 and that's my favorite team of all time. Okay. So you watch them and you go, oh, you're bad, but you're so good. That's how you're supposed to do it. That's how you're supposed to be. Oh, look at a play. You're the second, third, and fourth line.
Starting point is 00:59:11 It's supposed to be motherfucker. Like, everyone is. Katie's family, I mean, I think Boston oftentimes gets lumped in as being like socks because the Patriots or whatever. Yes. I would say the Bruins have the heart of Boston. I would say that as well. Now, I'm saying that because I'm marrying into a diehard Bruins family.
Starting point is 00:59:30 Yeah. But it is interesting to watch because I'm like, I'm so, such an outsider that I feel like I'm learning premier league soccer right like that's the way where I go are there songs I don't know what you guys do which they are very similar like I people sometimes in a derogatory sense call hockey ice soccer yeah and it's like they are very very similar I get it it's so fun though it's it's actually you know I and many many people say that it's the best like in person experience it's unbelievable Joe list took me in my first or one of my first hockey games it was a Bruins game at the islanders in Long Island yeah years ago and I went and I was like
Starting point is 01:00:06 like, oh, what have I been missing? Nonstop action, very fun to follow. Goals are like such an exciting. A touchdown is great, but it's almost like every goal has the excitement of a deep bomb. Yeah. And every like, oh, ah, ah, ah, or when it happens suddenly, and you're like, that, like, my God, fuck.
Starting point is 01:00:26 That, and Ovechkin, Ovechkin does that better than anyone, I think, where he, like, every time he scores, it's like the first and last time he's ever going to score. Yeah. Like, it's a big, fucking deal the place explodes and he's fucking 50 yeah yeah and he's still doing great no you know what's crazy he's my age no he's nah he's a little i think he's like 38 look up alexander ovechkin i thought i'm i'm because i know he's russian he but that he looks i think he's sub 40 weather alexander ovechkin he's old boy yeah 39 years old i'm gonna kill myself it's over i'm 42 i'm fucking done
Starting point is 01:01:05 Last episode of soda right here Get ready The Patreon Watch me swinging from a pipe I'm fucking I'm cooked I'm fucked dude He looks like he's a hundred
Starting point is 01:01:15 Oh my god He's 39 going on Yeah Rumpel still skin Everyone sees Ovechkin And is like God That guy's like Yogre he's still playing He's not even the oldest guy in the antichella Oh my god
Starting point is 01:01:26 That just blew my mind I didn't know he was that old Fuck that makes me feel so old What are it Oh yeah Oh, Massachusetts. Bay Stater. A official term used by the state government.
Starting point is 01:01:42 Citizen of the Commonwealth, identifier used in state law. Massachusetts. A Massachusetts? Masshole, derogatory. That's the one we all know. This one we know if you've been drunk and watched people watch Red Sox games.
Starting point is 01:02:00 Bay stater, Baysteader, Baystead, Massachusetts. In Massachusetts, Massachusetts, No, no one's ever, I've never heard that word in my life. Oh, fuck, yeah. Massifacuchotan, you just couldn't even get that out. They stay there. They try and teach us all to say that in kindergarten.
Starting point is 01:02:17 And by the end of the day, like, never mind. We'll go, we'll go a macele. Did you, did you work on not having an accent? Did your parents have an accent? I'm fascinated by this. I, so the town I grew up in his Fall River, which is a very largely Portuguese town. So they kind of have like a weird accent.
Starting point is 01:02:35 Brazil just has a pipeline. Yeah. Between, you guys having a bunch of Portuguese people. I know that's Portugal, but Portuguese spoken by Brazilians. Yeah. And Everett was like,
Starting point is 01:02:46 Katie's from Framingham, large Brazilian population. Martha's Vineyard. How's your soccer team not unbelievable? Well, how about this? So, uh, like that you fucking shot right up.
Starting point is 01:02:56 Dude, there's, well, let me tell you something. In an always sunny episode one year, many, many, Rob McElan, wore a t-shirt that said,
Starting point is 01:03:05 F.R. Marksman. And I just thought it was a cool shirt. And I was like, oh, that's a cool shirt. I'm going to Google it. And I googled it. And it was for the Fall River Marksman, which was a Portuguese soccer team in like the 1920s. No way. That was like, oh, so I bought the shirt. I was like, holy shit, it's from my hometown. That's got to be. That's unbelievable. But it is like, I forget exactly what year it was,
Starting point is 01:03:23 but it's early 1900s. It might have been up to the 40s. But it was like a Portuguese team in some, some soccer league that I don't know about that was really good. That's fucking awesome. God, why can't Aurora do anything that I can wear a shirt? I can't wear an Aurora Mall shirt because of a shooting.
Starting point is 01:03:39 Aurora, we got to do something. We're fucking down and out. Get some Portuguese. Let some Brazilians in. Dude, I did... Maybe those Venezuelans could start cooking in soccer. I had one summer I worked on the vineyard and I was a landscaper,
Starting point is 01:03:54 so it was just me and six Brazilian dudes best job you ever had. Really? Oh, my God. Because it was just like, it was Martin's Vineyard Landscape. So it was just like nice houses and beautiful views. You're just doing edging on like perfect lawns.
Starting point is 01:04:07 And I didn't really, I was like 17 years old. So I don't really know what. I was more just like, I was kind of like the foreman where like I didn't tell the guys what to do. He's the gringo. But yeah, like when the when the house,
Starting point is 01:04:17 when the people's home it was had a question that came to me. Yeah. So they went to the white guy. It's most Martha Vineyard thing you can do. They go, I'm going to talk to him. And he looks lowest on the crew. And you go,
Starting point is 01:04:29 he's white. I was only good. I could, I could, communicate some racist ass fucking messages i'm not gonna fucking talk to the fucking portuguese guy what is this fucking rabra car jup of my pillow there you go someone just punched a keyboard and they go he shouldn't be saying um but so you so falls river did fall river didn't have accents it i mean it did but i also i went to um school in new island okay i went to high school north island so like there hockey uh no i went
Starting point is 01:04:58 it was a boarding school i had a good hockey team i played hockey there but like it was i didn't go like for hockey. Whenever anyone goes private or boarding school I always go because of Mighty Ducks three I go because of hockey it was one of those things where it was like my dad was like you should go and I was like in my head I was like I'm going for hockey yeah I wasn't really they're recruiting me in reality I would have lied so much if I played hockey and like you're going to boarding school yeah yeah yeah I said maybe got recruited over here said put me on your third line and let me barely see the ice and they said yeah Play two-way with JV, no problem.
Starting point is 01:05:35 I'd love to be the equipment manager. I think that would be really good for my game. You know, you've got to learn bottom up, learn how all the equipment's used. So you didn't have to like, because Katie's parents, do your parents have Boston accents? No.
Starting point is 01:05:48 Katie's parents have very heavy Massachusetts accents. They're very like, Hi, Dean, how are you? My parents will, like, they'll slip in and out, but Fall River is, it's right on the border. Like, it's the last town in Massachusetts before you hit Rhode Island. Okay. So it's kind of like, it doesn't have the Boston kind of has a little Massachusetts accent.
Starting point is 01:06:05 Some people in Providence have the fucking the way they, yeah, draw the eyes and draws and you guys butcher the language. And then people, it would be like to add ours to words that don't have. Yeah. Drara. The drawer is the one. Bobby Kelly and Joe List. I'm like, I want to slap you.
Starting point is 01:06:22 You say it so wrong. My mom's like that. My mom says that one. But I also grew up in Colorado where everyone enunciates over the top. And you're like, okay. Is that the Colorado thing? They call Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas, the broadcaster's accent. Because everyone speaks very, like, there's no, everything is tight the way you say it.
Starting point is 01:06:43 I can see that. Because my dad's from San Francisco, or he's from Oakland, and the Bay Area accent is like, people don't realize there is one. But then you see Marshawn Lynch talk. Yeah. Oh, I was going to say, Bay Area is never, maybe it's because I grew up with E40. Yeah, but like, he had that. I was like, ooh. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:01 I'm over here thinking about. Shane and I used to do if what if E-40 never became a rapper and he was just a pervert that goes to like porn conventions? And he's like, Shane and I would do that on the road all the time. I want to give Lisa and a bag of my cung. Because these guys do all weird and shit like that. I made a hair doll out of Alexis, Texas.
Starting point is 01:07:21 Ooh. But yeah, you hear like Marshaun Lynch and he's like, I what up, Buster? Like the way they're like, what up, Markass Buster? Yeah. And shit makes me laugh all the time. I ain't afraid of you, doc. You're like, oh, you're from the bay.
Starting point is 01:07:34 Yeah. But I always think about yours as the, not your voice. Oh, the Aurora. The Aurora. Oh, what's up, Souter? Those are all the people I grew up with. The X Games accent. That's 100% real.
Starting point is 01:07:45 Aurora people have the fucking. Sauter's a fucking comic now, bro. You're like, shut up. Yeah, none of my friends really have, like, my old friends, a couple of them from high school have that Aurora like, like burnout shit. But I think this is them being older burn out. But it was interesting because Katie was like, she doesn't have any Boston accent.
Starting point is 01:08:05 I don't know. She will sometimes slip into it. When I used to get drunk, and she'll be like, fuck, don't fucking you. And you're like, what was it?
Starting point is 01:08:14 When I used to get drunk, I'd have, I think, I think we just assume everyone from that. Because like most people I know don't really have one. Yeah. Like, can I tell you a phenomenon that I know of from being friends with Joe List for 20 years
Starting point is 01:08:25 and from marrying a base dater is the, the people. the posers the guys that you know that don't have accents and they go to college somewhere else and all of a sudden have like southy accents fascinates me because i would absolutely be afraid of being called out dude i know exactly what you're talking about like there's a lot of them katy and kevin are like when we're on playing rock league are like on chat and we'll bring it up they'll list like three people that they're like oh yeah came back from college it was like what the fuck you fucking talking about and you didn't talk like that we had one gayie like
Starting point is 01:09:00 went to college his name was like Robert came back he's like I'm fucking Bob I'm like dude what are you to pick a new personality shut up actually I'll over sin that you do get to pick a new personality at college but it does not get to translate to your high school friends you know it does not and you cannot take um capital from your hometown and then convert it for your college that you can't be like oh yeah dog I was like the most dangerous motherfucker yeah yeah yeah and they come back and like you were you smoked weed and you were a goose I have that happen.
Starting point is 01:09:34 Fall River is not a great town. And people are like, you must be tough. Yeah. No, dude. Like I'm, like Aurora always gets a bad rap, but I'm from like South Aurora.
Starting point is 01:09:45 Yeah. It's fine. It was burbs. It was straight up middle class suburbs. Yeah. Like North Aurora is fucking rough. And I have, you know,
Starting point is 01:09:52 I know people that live like in North Aurora or people I grew up with like have moved there or whatever and you're like, oh, that's fucking tough. I'm my mom lives right by the reservoir yeah yeah she's fine yeah yeah great we're in a lovely right off the highway i get out of town pretty quick it's pretty quick yeah i can get to denver pretty quick but i i'm always fascinated by that because it's like this thing of growing up it's insecurity that you watch people grow out of doing that boston accent thing of course that's just 100% insecurity because you're just going like i want people to think i'm cooler i'm gonna fake an accent that
Starting point is 01:10:29 makes people think I'm fucking Leo or Mark Wahlberg in the departing. I'm this incredibly unique species. And don't even wrong. Like I dabbed and dabbled in. Absolutely. Of course I did. The guys I feel the funniest example of this are white dudes that talked black and then they come out of it in their 30s and you're like, this is very funny.
Starting point is 01:10:50 Are we acting like you were? What up now? Oh, oh, yeah, for real. And then now you're going like, I just don't agree with that. and you know who we're talking about just being like hey yo but for real though hey yo hey pause on that
Starting point is 01:11:08 and this how I'm feeling and then a year later they go it's just incredible that this would happen and I don't understand where this is coming from it's like you fucking dork I got like three friends I'm waiting to make the transition you got a couple more years and you can go I can't be talking like this
Starting point is 01:11:24 it's hilarious the day they wake up there was a comic that was on the black circuit that had a name. I don't want to give away his name because he is a nice guy, but he was a white dude in the black comedy scene and he was like, when I met him, he was like, I, for real, out, I ain't even playing with that shit. And then he moved out to L.A. And I was at the improv and I saw him and I called him by his black comedy name.
Starting point is 01:11:45 And he went, no, no, no, it's David. And you're like, motherfucker. Yeah. This goes full circle about, like, calling people nicknames. It's Harry. It's Harry. It would, no, but you do see that and you go, okay, you, like, you have to give them the space to come into their own. Yeah, you're going to figure out.
Starting point is 01:12:06 I know I'm making fun of it, but really when I see people doing that, you go, oh, you're finally comfortable being yourself. Yes. And if I tried to bully you into this, it would have taken you longer to figure it out because you would have held on tighter and been like, no, this is really me. This is really who I am, dog. I'm going to do that, though. I'm just going to start. My goal is all those guys that I know, now I'm only going to speak to them in an. accent that isn't mine.
Starting point is 01:12:28 So if I see them at a comedy club or whatever, I'm going to be like, it's been good to see you. How the hell are you? And they're like, why are you talking like that? You go, I just thought we were picking accents. Yeah, yeah. Why are you gay? But this is how I talk now.
Starting point is 01:12:45 You want to talk American black. I want to talk Nigerian black. You are a piece of shit. That's the next day. White kids acting African. in black. Have you ever been to Ghana? And why not?
Starting point is 01:13:02 You do not know where I am. And then they go, hey guys, sorry, I was going through a phase. I got full... Where is the big one? Where is he?
Starting point is 01:13:09 I don't like you. I have a full disheek. And they're like, what's fucking soda? They're on. That is not my name. Why do you call me that? And then the next week
Starting point is 01:13:21 just being like, sorry guys. I was fucking got him in a weird place. I can normalize that. Watch Fidelberg's show. Watch KFC follow Fidelberg. He's fucking hilarious. He is a house favorite here.
Starting point is 01:13:37 I'm a fan. Katie's a fan and he's got a new show out with Harry. Not sass. Harry and Tommy Smokes. Watch Le Mascots and watch all the episodes and follow him on all social media. You're the man, dude. You appreciate you. God, damn.
