March has just flown by, hasn't it? It always seems to. It always seems to. Tomorrow's my birthday. Happy birthday. Which means that the day that this episode comes out

is my birthday. It is your birthday. What? Wish Francis a happy birthday. What the hell? Happy birthday. We should have done something. You know what's really weird is I just got a really strong deja vu to last time we recorded on your birthday And it was gonna be your birthday when the episode came out as well

I believe that right it can't be can't be the cyclical cycle unless we pre-recorded or something We may we may have done was I on this show a year ago. Yeah Really? No, you're definitely on the show here. Yeah. What? No. You were definitely on the show a year ago, 100%. Yeah, what? Oh my God. No, Papi was in Milwaukee. You've been on this show for a longer time.

36 special brother, welcome. Thank you. I'm gonna exit this. I'm just gonna bail on that. No, no. It's your birthday, bro. You know what? I don't even, no.

It's ridiculous that I'm always playing chess. I do believe you said life's too short not to bail. Moments before we started recording. You're right. And that would apply there. I think that's fine. I think that applies, yeah. Life's too short to bail.

Never kill yourself also. I'm having a hard time applying some of these, what we're talking about right now to my life and trying to figure out what the right decisions are. What do you mean? Well- Whether you should kill yourself or not? Sure, that's always there.

But no, on the whole life's short thing. Oh yeah. I'm starting to feel it a little bit, right? Yeah. And yet I also see that my professional life is becoming quite busy. It's picking up to a rather almost unsustainable pitch once again, this happens to me.

And you'll handle it well. I will, I will. I will do something that I'll have a meltdown, denounce my career and ask those who love me to find ways for me to switch careers, switch something, yeah. I think that you're gonna be fine. I think that...

I do too, yeah. I think it's a blessing to be busy. Dude, I was thinking that when I was on my way here. What? Because we filmed earlier, like we filmed at like 9 a.m. and then we fucking, then I had to go to my business manager's office

and then I had to fly down here on the bike and I was on the bike and I was like, this is so much better than just feeling like shit all day in my apartment. I'd so much rather be busier than just sit and rot. Oh my God, this is porn to my ears. Well, I mean, I've always been busy. No, no, you haven't been busy.

I really am. People think I don't do anything. I'm busy constantly. It's not that we don't think you don't do anything. It's that you do things, but when you're not doing those things, you're doing nothing. Exactly. Which I'll never change that. You're doing absolutely nothing. That's how you should live.

And I would say that the pie chart of doing things versus doing nothing heavily favors nothing. No, no, no, you're wrong. You're way off. No, that's true. Way off. Have you heard the theory that like the best way to stave off depression is just leaving the house? Of course. At any time that there's the slightest thing presented or like interacting with people as much as it fucking sounds terrible.

Well, you know what they say, the idle mind is the devil's playground. That's from the music man. Of course. I think the problem is that Harry doesn't have depression, so he has no need to leave the house. His affliction is anxiety. Oh, I definitely have depression. His affliction is anxiety.

Your affliction, my understanding, I thought was that it was anxiety. It is, yeah, it's anxiety. And your anxiety comes from leaving the house. So. No, I wouldn't say that. What we need to do is get you depressed. No, my anxiety comes from not doing anything. Isn't anxiety like a trepidation about the future

and depression is kind of a lamenting of the past? Well, very interesting. Deep. Don't you think? And like you have less past to be depressed about. I get anxious about the past and the future. Well, that's a, but hold on. That's an interesting point because you just haven't lived long enough yet to be depressed.

Whereas anxiety found me later. Interesting, I see. And so our lives have sort of been flipped, but I'm still, you know, anxiety is my girlfriend, depression is my wife. Interesting. I see. And you fucked them both.

Yeah, well they pegged me. They both pegged me mercilessly. They don't even start with a plug. They don't let me have time to warm up. I don't get poppers. I don't get anything. Yeah. It's a surprise fucker.

It's just they don't spit on their hands. They wake you up with the strap. Yeah. It's just a forcing in. You wake up and you go, is it in me? Yeah. It's nice. I think that you're going to enjoy 36 and I think the busyness is a nice thing. 36 is going to be a blessing because 35 was just a warm up.

35 was the worst year of my life. 35 was a warm up for 36. It stands as a definitive. Well, it's good to know. It's like if you looked at my basketball card, if I was averaging like 20 points a game, my whole career, 35, it was like four, three, and two were my numbers.

And I wasn't injured. I wasn't injured for a single game. There were no injuries, I didn't miss a game, played in 82 games, but his numbers, for whatever reason, dropped so much. Do you have a specific year, Ron? 35. 35 was your worst?

It never hit 35. Really? 19 for me, easily, clears. Why? I was right when I moved to New York, middle of COVID, had no friends, just cried in my apartment all day. Yeah, that's a good, that sounds like a good one.

35 was really the worst year for you? Uh, I don't know. No. Maybe. I'm trying to remember what the worst the worst stuff happened. Oh, I know why. Yeah.

You had some tough stuff happen. And we're here for you. 36. Actually, I don't even know what bad stuff happened. I have a weird way of framing every year as like the best year, honestly. What an incredible, like, healthy way to live. Yeah, I don't know if I could do that. That's crazy. If I were to do that exercise, I would simply arrive at my best year by knowing which one

was the last on the years of worst. Yeah, yeah. If I was like, I could rank them all from worst to the least worst. Oh, that one's at the bottom. There you go. I was like, it's sad on my birthday and have since I was like three years old because I just like being the age that I am or was. Yeah, I've never been a big birthday guy either.

You can also argue, by the way, that all of my years have subsequently been worse than the one before. Yeah. Which with some exceptions, but I would argue that my one and two were my best years of my life because I simply don't have any negative memories from them. Interesting. Good point, good point.

No memories. Actually, terrible shit could have happened and you just... I would say I'd say 22 for me, 21, 22, I peaked. Why? Oh, I was just like, it was just like she was going good. 21, it's like you turn 21, it's fun. Yeah. I remember going in, buying a case of Corse banquet,

and I remember the guy was like, you have your ID, and he scanned my ID, and it beeped the birthday song. No, it didn't. It did. It was sick, I was pumped. The black birthday song? No, the white one. Dee dee dee. Yeah. Dee dee de one. That would be awesome. That would be so nice. That would be so respectable. Yeah, it beeped the birthday song and then...

It only does that if you're buying a 40 on your birthday. Cold 45, huh? I mean, it's hard to... there's not many greater feelings than buying your first legal case of beer It's great feeling probably that I've experienced I had been buying beer since I was 16 same with me So so would I but the first legal one is you know you're like I never have to stress about this again Because you can finally bend your knee to the technical sand Yeah, and you can also like if they're like if they think your ID is fake You can finally be like call the cops get the cops here. I want you to call the cops. Aren't there some places that won't let you buy beer on your actual birthday? The first place I went to try to buy

beer on my birthday. On my 21st birthday. And you didn't hit them with a call the cops? No they were just like yeah no we can't accept it. They were like, it's a vertical ID and we don't accept vertical IDs. And I was like, oh, that- The machine's playing the song, sir. I was like, but it's my birthday. And they were like, I'm sorry, man. And it was like this, like one of those like cool,

I was in Denver and it was one of those like cool liquor stores where the guy was like, the guy like helps me like select my own six pack of like different craft beers and shit. Oh, an assortment pack. And I was pumped and then I go bring it to the counter and then I had to go slowly put every single individual beer back in the cooler.

You put it all back? Yeah, I was. He wasn't even like, I'm sorry, I'll take care of it for you. No, he was pretty like, I just can't accept it. Why didn't you just leave it and be like, okay, fuck you guys? He was just doing his job. I didn't want to be an asshole.

Not really. Yeah, but it was my birthday. You then were not doing your job. I don't think it's your job to put beer back where it belongs. Good karma. It is something I would do. It is something I would do. I get that.

There is almost a sick pleasure if I'm in a grocery store and I realize that I don't want something in going back and putting it exactly where I found it. Leave no stone unturned. Leave the campsite the way that you found it. Exactly. Better than you found it. Better than you found it.

You know, it's like Kartenark's. Do you ever watch the video, Kartenark videos? Yes, I guess so. But that's just one of those things where to me that guy the Cart Nark is giving what it is to Harry. He's giving people like me a bad name. Cart Nark, yeah he makes videos where he gives people a hard time when they don't return their shopping cart in the parking lot to the little overhead covered cart bin area.

He'll be like, wee, wee, wee, we got a rule breaker. Yeah, I don't fuck with that at all. And then they'll flip out on him and he has magnets that he'll throw on their car. And they'll be like, what the fuck is this? He gets so pissed and they get furious and they'll chase him. He'll be like, why are you chasing me? That's awesome. Yeah, no, I don't fuck with that though because

the way that I grew up, the way that you do it is you go, you put your cars in the grocery, you put your groceries in the car, and then you kind of just let the cart slowly drift down the parking lot. It's like 90 feet down to the McDonald's at the end of the parking lot. Where it's picked up by a homeless guy

who then uses it to fill with bottle redemption. Yeah, where they could hopefully get together $18. But dude, you know, the cart, that's, it's just one of those things to me where, as much as I love enforcing the unwritten rules, that one, and he's made a big thing of it, is so far down the list of things that are like ruining the fabric of society. Yeah.

Whereas policing the breakdown lane is something that fucks up society. That is. How is it different? Because it- Oh, that fucks up society way. Dude, there's a guy, there's a kid, there's a 16-year-old kid that his job is to go collect those carts. Right.

Think he's pissed? Huh? You think it fucks him up that much, it's a job. Yeah, but his job isn't just that. I think it is. No. Hey, cart guy. I mean, what if your thing runs into somebody's car

and dings their car when you let it run away? Not your problem. That's on them. Not your problem, right? That's on them. Not your problem. Keep your eyes on the road. Always. I think that they're exactly equal level. Really? That's insane. But hold on a second. So what's the problem with the breakdown lane? Well, the breakdown lane, you bring in all kinds of other things. First of all, it is increasing

traffic. It's increasing it. There's people that actually break down. Yeah. You're blurring the line of what the breakdown is, the shoulders meant to be used for. There's signs all along the shoulder that say, do not use the shoulder. Don't drive in the shoulder. They're supposed to be for emergency vehicles or for people, I guess, who are like racing

their in labor wife to the hospital so that the baby's not born in the back of a fucking Subaru Outback. And lesbians are having babies these days, huh? the hospital so the baby's not born in the back of a fucking Subaru Outback. Yeah. And... Lesbians are having babies these days, huh? Well, they have been. I believe.

Classic. Classic Subaru joke. Love it. Roasted them. Love it. Roasted those rug munchers. But the point is that all of that, and anyone going in the breakdown lane who has to then merge in,

as I've said this a thousand times, is adding time to the commute home of anyone who's actually paying, playing by the rules. If you're in the breakdown lane, I wanna see blood. Yeah. I wanna know. You need your own homemade siren that you're gonna put on top of the car.

Take some blood, slap it on the window. Right. You're the same person that when there's like a car crash and you're like stuck in traffic, you're like, somebody better have died. Big time. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.

I'm on the subway. I am exactly like that. Yeah. And they're like, we are waiting because in the station, because of an accident that happened at 42nd Street, I'm like, there better have been someone. Multiple people. Multiple people were taken on a helicopter. We need full blown.

Nothing worse than being in dead stop traffic for two hours and you get up there and it was a fender bender and you're going, how? Well, what's worse is when it's like a fender bender where the two people didn't have the decency to pull their cars off to the side. Oh yeah. And they're like, no, it's a crime scene.

We're not moving. We're gonna deal with our insurance and we're gonna get the fucking tow truck and the police officer to write his accident report right here in the middle lane at rush hour. It's like, dude, moving your cars 10 feet to the right isn't going to all of a sudden make it impossible. Yeah. For the crime scene to assess who's at fault.

Yeah. I've never understood that. What's the craziest, what city would you say have you been to or state that has had the craziest drivers? I think that New York drivers are like pretty low on the crazy because like I think that they kind of will like they'll beep At you and give you a hard time but they just want to like get past you whereas like I'll be in Delaware and Somebody will like get in front of you and like stop driving Because like they they have a perceived slight on the road like there's some people in different states that are like Ruin their own day to ruin your day. I was gonna say you just want to get some yeah, I was gonna say Baltimore

Delaware yeah same shit. I was gonna say that the Chesapeake area. Yeah that area I remember when I went fishing out there. I remember driving back and being like this is like I'm in a fucking This is like I'm playing GTA right now Washington was this weekend was crazy too because that's like that area that I was in where I was fishing, the speed limits 70. So people go 90. And everyone is going 90. And it's always like big trucks.

Like you'll be driving, you'll be going like, you'll be going like 80. That's what pisses me off. The thing that really annoys me is when I'm going fast and I get passed in the right lane. Because here's one thing. Why are you camping out in the left? I'm not budgeting in the left if I'm going 15 over.

Come on, dude. If I'm going 15 over, I'm not budgeting. Why not? I'm going just. And there's nobody on the right that you'd have to wait behind? No. Then you're a cunt.

I'm not budgeting. That makes you the bad guy. No, that makes them a bad person. Well, why are you? Why do they gotta go 100 miles per hour? Wait, maybe there's someone doing labor. They're not. The left lane is for passing

and the right lane is for cruising. And you're a cruiser. You're not changing your speed. Look, brother, I- If there's someone going faster than you, move over. I'm a speed racer. I'm a speed racer. I don't even have a problem with this, dude.

I don't have a problem with this. Move over, let them go past at 100. And then get back in. Get back in. I don't even have a problem with this, dude. I don't have a problem with this. Move over, let them go past it 100. And then get back in. Get back in. I do that. I've done that. I've done that from time to time, but this weekend, I was really, I was standing my ground because these people try to pass you

and you're like, where, what are you, where we were, I was like, there's nothing around here. So where are you going that you need to be going 120 miles per hour? You just, it's not, I don't think it's for you to know or decide how and why a person on that road in the state of Washington, which could not be farther from where you live in the United States,

why they are driving as fast as they are. I think it's just because they're bad drivers on safe. I don't know. I was I like my wife had not a pregnant we were like rushed to the hospital this this past weekend. And somebody was going like super slow in front of me like turning onto the street in front of the hospital, like about to make me miss the light beep that I'm beat again. like, I'm just trying to get around him, cause I really think, I thought I was in like,

this dire situation. Yeah, yeah. And he like, has the nerve, and is making me think of you to like, give me like, this crane, that dirty look out of his window. I do it all the time. Just fucking dirty look. I do it every time. It's like, bro, you're fucking going

negative one mile an hour through an intersection about to cause me to miss it. Every time someone passes me on the right, I go and I look. And I go, you must be in a big rush. I say out loud, I'll talk to myself. And I'm like, yep, you gotta get going. 200, get to 200 if you can. Sarcastic. Yeah.

The worst is when you see a guy like Rhone's guy or whatever, someone who's just holding everything up, and you finally get around them, and you realize it's a 95 like Rone's guy or whatever, someone who's just holding everything up and you finally get around them and you realize it's a 95 year old man or woman with the blocks of glasses. Yeah. They're wearing, I don't know, winter hats for some reason.

There's significant others also like curled in the front. Yeah, they can barely see over the wheel. And that's where you're like, you immediately think one, why are they still alive? Yeah. You know, let go. And two, there should be term limits on driver license. Oh, absolutely.

Just as there should be on politicians. You shouldn't be able to drive after a certain age, just as you shouldn't be able to be a fucking senator or a congress person after 85 years old. Yeah. Yeah, fucking Strom Thurmond. Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi. Pretty much every time I've almost gotten in a car accident

it was caused by someone who was like 90 years old. Who like out of nowhere you come up on them on the highway and they're going 30 miles per hour. Have I ever told you this was the time when I was on the highway with Frank driving? Frank the tank? Yeah. He drives. Yeah. I've also been on the highway with him driving. It's dude, you, you literally like, you have to sit in the back seat and like cover your head. Yeah. Cause you're going, we're going 25 miles per hour. I don't,

I don't mind that dude. People are honking. I don't mind that. Dude, people are honking. I don't mind that. What the fuck? And then Frank's like, yeah, I haven't really driven on the highway in a while. And you're like, yeah, I can tell. I don't like, I'd much rather have that than a buddy of mine. And I have a few who are,

they do that thing where they are switching lanes constantly and then getting right up. See that shit drives me mad. Five feet in front, behind the guy in front of them and tailing them at 75 miles an hour. That's what I'm talking about though. You're like dude if anything goes wrong, we're fucked. Yeah. You understand you cannot stop quickly enough

if that guy in front of us slams on the verse. It's like a talk of G video. Yeah, exactly. That's exactly what I'm talking about though. Those are the people that I say I don't I don't I don't move for Yeah, but if one of those people was behind you you have to cede to their craziness if someone I will say if someone's behind me and I can get over to the right and they can't I will get over to the right

Why would it be someone why wouldn't they be able to go over to the right? if there's another car if there's like a car like to the right of them and that car is not speeding up and I'm the one that's blocking them in, then I will move to the right. Bro, who said we don't have an off speed pitch? We're talking cars. We're cars like Click and Clack to tap it. We'll talk trains if we want.

Click and Clack, good reference. We can talk trains too. It's not all planes. Yeah. Yeah, we'll talk trains too. It's not all planes. Yeah. Yeah, we can talk it all. My new obsession, and this has happened at a couple shows that I've had, because is finding people in the audience that work for trains.

Like Amtrak and Subways and shit. They just work for trains. I don't even want to specify what they do. What do you do for a living? Trains. Got it. Period. Just trains.

Yeah. And when you get conductors, which was, by the way, one of my few childhood dream jobs. Yeah, to be a conductor. In fact, one Christmas, my parents got me the conductor hat, striped hat, and I would walk around going, chew chew, you know? Yeah, I know.

I, what, here's something that I always ask, which is, how long have you been doing it? They say, whatever, 15 years, 20 years. I say, has anyone ever thrown themselves in front of your train? And they say, they all say, absolutely. A lot of people.

Yeah. And I say, okay, and what's the protocol there? And they have to, once that happens, they have to bring the train to a stop, but because of inertia, which is resistance to change in motion arrest, it takes a while for that train to stop, right?

Also a good Mac Miller song. Yeah. They then get out, whatever, half a mile away. They have to walk back with the police to the body that they hit, and they confirm. It hits dead. That person's dead. dead yeah I've been on the train for this why did they confirm it's their job they're the ones that hit the person they need to be the ones to confirm that that body is dead

and then they have to clock out immediately right really yeah because I didn't know that they're most likely to do it again they're most likely to do it again They're most no I think it's cuz they're like fucked up from just having seen a squashed body once they've got a taste for blood Yeah, they want they'll like take the train off the track. Yeah hunting people down crowds. Yeah like German festivals I Was gonna ask you ron. So you you said you had to drive your Wife to the hospital was that like so I'm assuming everything was okay So how are you how are you what why would you assume that because we're recording right now

And I'm assuming if things weren't okay ron probably wouldn't be in the studio right now talking about trains and planes He said it was this week Did you say it was this week was Saturday Wow yeah but I was gonna ask so are you sorry do you feel like you're ready you're ready for the big one I asked him that yesterday Francis already asked me we already have this conversation but now that you've had now that you've had the test drive you think you're ready for the real drive nice to get like it was nice to know the steps that you go through and I realized that like I need to load up on

snacks got it cuz we were in a room for fucking ever yeah and then we go to a the steps that you go through. And I realized that like I need to load up on snacks. Got it. Because we were in a room for fucking ever. Yeah. And then we go to a vendor. She's like, can we go to a venue? Can you go to a vending machine? Bring back stuff from the vending machine that have what she wanted from the vending machine as I need to load up. You got to have the car prepped in the cars.

Prep bags are prepped. Just a small bag of like toothpaste and stuff ready to go. But I need like a big bag of your and stuff ready to go, but I need like jerky. You need a big bag of Bugles. Bugles, yeah, I need all that kind of shit. My car is always stocked like that. Same. Your car is?

Yeah. You have snacks in your car? I do, ever since the Pistachio people sent me a huge box, beef jerky people, all those people that sent me stuff from that hotel video, all that's in my car. You could maybe recommend some things to me. I can definitely. I'm a snack guy. I could maybe recommend some things to me. I can definitely. I'm a snack guy.

I could definitely recommend some stuff too. You're gonna wanna hear from me. I snack more than both of you guys for sure. I snack healthier and I have a better sense of what pregnant women want. But no one wants to go through labor and then be like, yeah, let me get some of those bird seeds. You always go back to your bird seeds.

Yeah, because that's what you eat. You're one true pony. That's what you eat. I eat beef jerky, I eat pistachios. I don't think you have twins and then you go, hmm, do you have any pistachios on you? You never know. If it's the... Some roasted chili?

The honey roasted or... Acid reflux has been bad and allegedly that goes away like the second the babies are out. So I think that she's gonna be ready to pour some heat in. Okay, so you want talkies So yeah, maybe some fucking nice churros from 7-eleven. I got a guy I got a guy locally who hooks me up with some solid Pringle flavors. I get you some habanera Yeah, yeah or jalapeno locally. Yeah I'm not gonna give up my sources.

I can tell you boys where the honey hole's at. No, gatekeep the honey hole. I'm telling you, I could hook you up. My wife needs a fucking snack. I'll get snacks. I'll get you. I mean, these are, I'm talking- Introduce me to your guy.

I'm talking, these are top tier Pringles. Cut out the middle, man. Top tier. Wow. Shit you've never seen. Ms. Down Jones, she dropped off a pack of spicy pickle goldfish and I think that people really assume that pickles are a pregnancy craving. Yeah. Like everyone always thinks pickles but she hasn't

really had a crazy pickle craving. I think she likes them less. She's normally a pickle woman. But yeah, we need a nice swath of snacks. And I was thinking jerky's and I was thinking like nuts and stuff like that. Some stuff for me. Or you're thinking like peach rings and like, jerky the problem with jerky is that jerky is a snack you go to eat when you're actually hungry. And I feel like it does not help with that at all.

Oh, really? Yeah, it Yes it does. Not for me. It's by far the most substantial snack. I don't know. Sleeve of Pringles does it better for me than a thing of Jerky. Empty calories, empty calories. Jerky does have nutritional benefit. I guess.

You're getting protein. Both of those are bricks of salt. It's got so much sodium in it. Jerky? Yeah. Well, depending on which one you get, I'm getting more of the all natural, I'm getting all natural kind all-natural kind of stuff.

You're getting the Instagram ad shit, where it's just like the piece of jerky is just like a very thin sliver of a ribeye steak. I'm getting jerky that was started by some kid in his garage, where he was sunning the meat on the top of the roof, and then he decided to give up his job cattying. Have you guys ever seen the episode of Workaholics,

the beef jerky? Because everyone was like, dude, your jerky's amazing. The beef jerky episode? No. It's one of the funniest episodes of television of all time, and you need to go watch it after this? No, I haven't seen that. But to be honest with you, I am glad that you

are capable of making a reference and saying, have you guys seen this, with it being something that we haven't actually seen. As opposed to the boy dad, boy story episodes. Oh, where I said grenade. Where you were like have you guys ever seen the movie Dodgeball? Have you guys tried pancakes? That was you.

That was me? Yeah. Very funny, very funny. Wow, condition but can't take You should watch that episode though, it's it's hysterical this really funny movie called wedding crash I watched an episode of workaholics last night. I forget which episode it was I just walked I watched one Individual episode on my TV and watched it last the way to bed. Watched it last night, can't remember. Gotta be some good weed. Yeah, you gotta be fried.

I think it was the one hour of sleep. The woman in the hallway or in the elevator at the Super Bowl has scarred me about all things workaholics. Oh yeah, I forgot about that. We talked about it on the Yak, but there was a woman in the elevator and it was me, her and Sass. And I was like, yeah, I saw Adam and Blake at the, in this hotel earlier in the week. And she was like, oh, I saw Adam and Blake in the hotel earlier this week. What? Yeah.

Like she listened in on our conversation and interjected. You weren't even talking to her. No. Talking to him. And I was like excited because I'm fans of these people. Did she know who they were? She's like, I'm their producer. Shut up. Yeah.

And I was like, all right. Shut up. But that still doesn't warrant that reaction. No, it's worse. It's worse, because now you're like, now you can go public and be like, Adam and Blake's producer is one of the worst people alive. I don't know.

I think she was joking. If you're going to behave that way, then you don't give anyone. joking. I think they're taking it a little too far. If you're gonna behave that way, then you don't give anyone. There's a good chance she'll hear this. And she heard the last time we talked about it. She was fine. She was, it was uncomfortable, but it was fun. Clearly angling for a role in the reboot.

Over here. Would love one, that would be a dream. But I think she was trying to joke and I think we took it I think that the most like becoming way that you could handle situation like that is kind of silently appreciating other people appreciating your I don't know I kind of appreciated the way that she handled it I thought it was pretty like it's insane to do that it's insane to be like two strangers in the elevator.

Like that would be like if I was in an elevator and someone was like, oh yeah I saw something you guys did. I don't know what you guys would possibly do together without me. We do a lot. What? Bike home. Bike to work. Okay yeah. But that wouldn't make sense. Walk the dog. Talking about like a media, something media. Used to be dogs. Media wise. I guess it would be like if Tyler was in fucking an elevator and someone was like... I don't know. I've lost it completely. You can't come up with a parallel example.

I think the comparison that I'm going to make is pretty obvious, so that's why I'm not going to say it. I was just going to repeat exactly what she said. I don't see it. I haven't learned from that one example. Oh, I like Ronan Francis. Yeah. And I think that would say it. I was just gonna repeat exactly what she said. I don't see it. I haven't learned from that one example. Oh, I like Ronan Francis. Yeah.

And I think that would be crazy if Tyler did that. And then, yeah, it's crazy. But then you go, no, I work for them. And that would still be crazy. And then you go, oh, that's hilarious. Like if someone said that about you two. So it was like, I saw Francis and Sass doing standup comedy.

I get it now. Oh, Francis and Sass! But I don't know if that works because there's no one that would see me and Francis do stand-up that wouldn't know who you are. That's not necessarily true. Yeah. Unless it was like a local. There is a world where there are four to five people

out there who know you and know me, but don't know Roan. I got hit with that this weekend. Someone hit me with a, where's Roan? Said, probably New York. Can I say something? Sure. Have I said this before on the podcast? I don't believe you have.

I think I might have. Oh, I don't know what you're gonna say, so. You don't respond to your DMs. Oh yeah. I am now getting flooded with DMs from people trying to reach you and asking me to pass on messages to you. Oh, shit. I think my fishing rod got here today speaking of.

No, don't go into that yet. I got girls telling me, set me up with SAS. I'm trying to fuck SAS. What's your problem? Why aren't you passing me along to SAS? Because I don't open these. I just read them all and then I look at the picture of them to determine whether or not they're hot enough

for me to be like, I'll pass you to SAS if you send me news. All right, there's a toll. There's a toll for that sort of access. You gotta pay the trolls toll. You gotta pay this boy's hole. It's always sunny. Always sunny.

That's a good reference. Not my own joke. Yeah, and I don't know really what the solution is. I think you've made it worse by saying this. Yeah, just don't answer. I don't answer anything. I don't understand the people

like I don't know, maybe it's me, maybe I'm the weird one. But like people that are just constantly answering their DMs, it's insane to me. I'd answer about 10% of them. Like, Mooc answers I think every single DM he gets. Well, he gets very few.

No, he gets a ton. No. Yeah. He gets a ton and he answers all, and I'm like, dude, you're having 45 conversations simultaneously. I answer my DMs the way that Obama answered letters to the White House. I select about 10% Hmm. I select about yeah, I select about point five percent And it's usually to someone who's like just saw the Seattle shows great. Thanks

Hmm done in that Lincoln movie What it weren't there like a group of people in the lobby every day who wanted to have like audience with Lincoln? Few of them would be selected. That's how it should be. People, if they wanna talk to you, they should come to 333 7th Ave, second floor. I'm gonna go grab my fishing rod. Dear Mrs. Ryan, I cannot imagine the grief of a mother

who has lost three sons in the war effort. That's kind of a good... Do you know what that is? In Saving Private Ryan. Oh, nevermind. They have the letter that Lincoln wrote to the mother who had lost all of her sons. Oh yes, that's what it was.

Which stands as sort of the, I don't know, the driving force as to why they think they need to go rescue Private Ryan. Why is every Abraham Lincoln impression like kind of the same? Well, he spoke with a high, he had a high pitched voice. Kind of like this. Yeah, the one that, I mean, the one that,

what's his name when he played him? Daniel Day Lewis. Is, I think, my guess, quite accurate and stands now as the voice of Lincoln. You must appeal to the braver angels of our nature. Yeah, the brighter angels. Yeah. What a lovely quote that is.

That is a nice quote, but how do they assume to know what he sounds like? There was a lot written about Lincoln. But the tone of his voice? Yeah, I think so, absolutely. And also, you know, the Lincoln-Douglas debates, I mean, there were so much oratory from Lincoln that was recorded in history, where, I mean, they have photographs of him.

Isn't it wild to think that, like, there's massive campaigns going on right now that both Lincoln and Kennedy were gay? What? There's massive campaigns that half of Rushmore was gay or no, Kennedy's not a Rushmore, but that they're that like, some of our greatest presidents and greatest Americans like I'll see Twitter threads every day of like, Kennedy dancing with one of his friends like as a young man,

they're like, yep, him and his friend, what's his name? Or like letters from Lincoln, like that he slept in the same bed as his friend when he was like impoverished in Kentucky at like 19 or something like that, that he was sucking dick or something. He was a wrestler, Lincoln was. Who, the old rail splitter?

Mm-hmm, yeah. And I don't really stand for the sort of gay witch hunt stuff. The gayification, posthumously accusing people of being gay. I've heard nice, well-thought-out campaigns that Trump is gay. Interesting. People think Kennedy's gay, people think Lincoln's gay, people think Trump's gay, like people are just trying to put gay on everybody.

People think everyone's gay. They, you know, oh, he didn't put jelly on his peanut butter and jelly. That's a typical sign. Alrighty, let's talk about DraftKings. The great rewards hunt is on.

Who didn't? No, what? That was like, that was a sign of the times. Hey, really quick, amazing historical fact. Did you know that Ulysses S. Grant succeeded Lincoln? Well, after Lincoln's vice president, who was Johnson? Yeah. Lyndon Johnson, of course.

And Andrew Johnson was his VP and became president when Lincoln was shot and killed by John Wilkes Booth. But Lincoln, or sorry, Johnson was one of the most unpopular presidents in history. And as soon as Lincoln's second term ended, he was out. And Grant became president. After winning the Civil War.

Yeah, you know. Popular bro. In a, and he, yeah, he was just like a resounding victory figure. However, the night that Lincoln was shot at Ford's Theater by John Wilkes Booth, Grant and his wife were supposed to accompany Lincoln and marry Todd to that play and sit in the booth with them.

And there was a hit out on Grant as well. There were three men that were supposed to kill Lincoln and Grant and they thought Grant was gonna come. But he bagged off the ticket, he decided, cause he was exhausted. He was like, plays suck. And he got on a train to go take some quiet time. But they also, Grant and his wife specifically

really disliked Mary. Yeah, because she was a sad sack bitch. And she was a bitch, a bitch to everyone and kind of a psycho and had been like mistreating them, didn't like the fact that Grant was as popular as he was and thought that he was trying to steal the thunder from Lincoln, even though Lincoln and Grant had a very tight working relationship.

Well, they were gay together. That must be. It must be so. And because they hated Mary so much and his wife, they knew they didn't wanna spend the night going to the theater with them, even though Lincoln really wanted them to come, they begged off and Grant wondered

throughout the rest of his life whether or not. So he's basically Mark Wahlberg. He's like, if I was in that box, I would have fucked him up. Yeah, if he'd been in the box, whether or not they would have stopped the guy from shooting Lincoln, or if, because Grant would have had his own personal security as well, as it were, there was only one sort of like plainclothes police officer

that was guarding the box of Lincoln. And I think that guy went to the bathroom or something, or just didn't even see John Wilkes Booth come in and shoot him in the head. But Grant wondered if history would have gone out differently had he gone to the play. And last fact, as he was riding in his carriage earlier in the day, I think to the train station

to catch his train, a guy on a horseback came up to the window of his carriage as they were riding through the streets looked in the window at them and then peeled away and it was John Wilkes Booth. John Wilkes Booth came and it was like it was thought he was gonna kill him right then I don't know but there's all kinds of I mean it's just insane. That's crazy. Yeah. I can't believe there's not more movies about it. There probably will be. Or like a nice ass long, there will be. They've had so much time.

Yeah, they'll run out of, I mean, they're already out of ideas. They'll eventually start just working through history. There should be a movie about Ulysses S. Grant. I'm 750 pages through his biography right now. Did you ever read Angels and Demons, that Jeff Sahara book? Wasn't that by the guy who did the Da Vinci Code? Was it? I thought it was like a war book.

You might be right. I thought Angels and Demons was like one of the Da Vinci Code books, but I'm thinking I must be wrong. Sure you're not. The one thing, the last thing I'll say about Grant is that he was a absolute. Wow. It's the prequel to the DaVinci code. You're right. So what am I thinking of? I'm not sure. Harry, you'll like this. My fishing rod wasn't here.

I'm sorry to hear that. Devastated. Grant was a very serious alcoholic. Interesting. Had a major problem with booze. Anytime he had one. Killer angels. He would start black, he would black out

and start talking like in nonsense. Like a child. Yeah. He probably got a lot drunker then. Huge booze bag. Yeah. I can't even imagine what getting drunk was like back then. Yeah.

It was animalistic. And like the warmest rum. Yeah. They'd get after it. They didn't have like any mixology. No, no, no. There was no like old fashions were new fashions at that time.

They didn't even have that. Yeah. They didn't have any type of infusions emulsions no cocktails under like a glass of grenadine egg white was not used to lift the cocktail now They're just drinking piping hot beer is is egg white what they put in in old fashion? No. What do they put egg white in?

That's in like a sour. Like a sour. A sour? Whiskey sour. Whiskey sour. Everettos sour. Is that what he drinks in the Big Lebowski? No.

He drinks White Russians. White Russians. Which is Kahlua, vodka, and milk or cream. Yeah that was an old idea me and Roundhead had was that we were gonna put out when the four play guys put out the Transfusion mixes we were gonna put out white Russian mixes and it was just gonna be a milk Carton of milk with the bar We're such idiots for not I know it would have gone so fucking crazy. We're such idiots for not doing that. I know, it would have been so good. Powdered, powdered mixture?

Powdered cocktail mixture? Yeah, they're just packets. Little $32 for a packet of milk. Just a squirt of milk that you put in. We used to do White Russian sundaes at the bar that I worked at. Just drinking multiple White Russians on a Sunday. Dude, I went through a white Russian period too, where it was like, that's what I'm ordering.

If I'm drinking a drink, I'm having a white Russian. There was something, there was some- Could have been with your stomach in knots because I'm lactose intolerant. There was some sort of movie or book or show or something that my friends were watching when we were in high school and they wanted to make whiskey sours with eggs. And my parents were out of town for the weekend and I had all my friends over and they used our kitchen to make whiskey sours.

And then I remember they all left in the morning and I went downstairs to go clean up and there was egg everywhere. Your parents found all the eggs missing in their, were you guys drinking last night? I think they used like 36 eggs. That's so disgusting. It was dude, like egg like painted all over the counter. I mean, it was impossible to clean up.

They are nice. Like when you get the froth to a drink like that and the creaminess, it was impossible to clean up. They are nice, like when you get the froth to a drink like that and the creaminess, it's delicious, but when you start thinking about the fact that it's an egg, it's foul. Well, here's where I get confused, right? Can you only get salmonella from the yolk? You must be, it must be like that.

Because why do we all fear eating raw eggs for the risk of salmonella, and yet if someone said, oh yes, this has egg white in it, this cocktail is $17, $18 cocktail, no one would bat an eye. Do people get salmonella from egg white, or from eggs a lot? That's, it was that and chicken, right?

Chicken is the one that I'm the most scared of. Yeah, but they're birds of a feather, are they not? True, and they flock together. And now at my local diner, it's a $2 upcharge for every dish that has egg in it. Same. What? $2 upcharge for every egg dish.

Come on. Yeah. Because they're gonna, they're literally gonna have to start vaccinating the birds. Jesus. They're like Because they're literally gonna have to start vaccinating the birds. Jesus. They're like, it's actually gonna have to happen. Because of bird flu or something? Because massive full warehouses, millions of chickens at a time are getting sick together

and they have to fucking kill them all. Right. Imagine that job, and it's not like they can just nuke it like we were talking about. No, they gotta break every neck. They can't go in with a fucking AK and just shoot them all. Like no blood on their hands. I think they have to go through and like wring each of their necks.

And people want fewer migrants in our country. It's fucking insane. Exactly. Well those birds are typically born here. They don't fly. There's no American that is. There's no naturalized, Right, they don't fly. There's no American that is there's no naturalized nor There's no born American that is doing the dirty work of killing the chickens. Hmm period I got a guy who would I got a guy that would I guess Jewish people Jewish brothers Was that whoa in Williamsburg? There's like whoa. There's like a festival where they kill Jews what I mean What There's like a festival where they kill Jews. What the? What? What?

What? There's a festival in Williamsburg where they're killing Jews? Chickens. Oh, little Freudian schmitz there. Yeah. Chickens. They like put the tents out? No, you said what you said.

You said what you said. I get it. Do not. Sthouse you're in some sort of weird underground fucking Nazi festival festival You guys going to the fest this weekend on Coney Island. It's like that movie and you're a mustard playing Marshmallows playing did you ever see the movie pig with a Nicolas Cage? Yes? No They have this underground club where you can like pay to just beat someone up. They don't fight back. Yeah. And then he subjects himself to it to earn some money. Yeah. That's tough. It's like that. That. But it's like the selling the white blood cells for money.

Oh, the plasma. Or selling your plasma, yeah. And there's somebody else on the other side with Samsung who's just fucking painting it onto a TV screen. It's a plasma TV. When we were going to Iceland, when we were like two years ago, Beau was selling plasma to get money for the trip. And he did it like three times in like one week. And on the third time, he just went down in the chair,

like eyes rolled to the back of his head. And they were like, you should stop coming here. They should, like they can't take it from him three times a week, I don't think. I think he might've been hopping. Oh, he was going from center to center? I think he was bar hopping, yeah. Yeah.

Because he made like a lot of money in a week. Yeah. They pay a lot. Well, you have to be like perfect. You can't be drinking, you can't be smoking. Your sperm has to be tasty as hell. The bow I know checks all those categories. Really? Yeah.

I don't know if he does. I guess he doesn't really drink. He doesn't really drink. He doesn't really smoke weed So what's the advice every man has advice he just works out a ridiculous amount. He got he got back from Spain on Friday and I was like he called me and he was and I was like are you you gotta be pretty jet-lagged, huh? And he was like nah He's going on a nine mile run in a minute.

And I was like, you just flew back from Spain. You're gonna go on a nine mile run? I was like, that, the guy would, I, I mean, that's the worst thing I could possibly think of. I think going that way, maybe you gain hours or something. I don't know. But why nine?

I think he's just trying to work his way up. Yeah, is he training for something? The war. Does he believe in the war? I don't know. You think people in the military should feel guilt about the wars that they're in? No.

Or you just dutifully just fucking No, they're doing their job. Line up and bow down? You think if people like We need a military. You think if people kill someone in war, do you think that they like wave their ability to grandstand about other things politically?

No. Think they have more of a stand to grandstand about things politically? No. Think they have more of a stand to grandstand about things politically? No. Where is this coming from? What is this line of question? I don't know if murder. Does that happen a lot?

Not murder. Do veterans tend to- Become politicians? Speak more openly about political things? I think so. I think so, yeah. I mean, not like by a, I guess if you take every single person that's been in the military and then how many people that have been in the military that are now all politician, it's probably less than 0.01%. I also think historically there was a track from military to politician more than there is today. Yeah.

I think it was the case that like for so long it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know,

it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, it was like, you know, there was a track from military to politician more than there is today. Yeah. I think it was the case that like for so long, it was a presumption that if you were going to run for office, especially president, you better have served. Served. Yeah.

Makes sense. I mean, I was going to ask, I was going to say when you were talking about like the Lincoln shit, it must be so, it must have been so crazy when a president was killed then. Cause like people liked the president and respected the president. Well, half the country liked the president. I guess Lincoln, yeah, I guess that's a tough example to use. Let's see what his approval rating was. Maybe he had to have a higher approval rating than presidents do now. They didn't track approval ratings back

then. But he was, he was, he, he is a president who has become the greatest president ever as a result of history. Yeah, that makes sense. Because it took a long time through Reconstruction and the reintegration of the South. Yeah. For them not to be furious that Lincoln had, you know, conquered them basically or forced them to come back. Just like now though, like if a president was killed now, it would be crazy, but like.

I think it would be bad. I think it would be worse than. No, I think it would be really bad. I think it would be bad. I mean, would be worse than. No, I think it would be really bad. I think it would be bad. I mean, Kennedy, you know, that's the most recent president who's been killed, although they did try to kill Reagan. They tried to kill Trump.

Yeah, but not when he was actively the president. True, true. You think that he would, I mean, I think you become lionized once you're killed. I think people kind of wave away. Right. I mean, people are like, let's forget this partisan arguing.

Right. I just think like, I mean, if Trump died, if Trump was killed, I think there would be... I think you'd realize first of all that there are a lot more people in the middle than you think. Yeah. And I think, I hope that there is a collective patriotism

And I think, I hope that there is a collective patriotism that would overwhelm the sentiment of like, why I didn't like him. Meaning we as a nation understand that having our president, our leader killed is very, very bad. Yeah, I would say, I guess that's what I'm trying to say is that I think the percentage of people that would respond that way is probably the lowest it's ever been

just because of how much is out there. That's a good question, I don't know. Like I feel like if Trump died, I mean obviously there's gonna be a shit ton of people online who are like celebrating. Yeah, but this is always the case where we think like, this is the most divided the country's ever been. It's not. Yeah. It's not. The Civil this is the most divided the country's ever been. It's not.

Yeah. It's not. The Civil War was the most divided the country's ever been. Yeah. I guess it was pretty divided during the Civil War. Yeah. How many people were living in America during the Civil War?

75. It's probably like 28. Yeah. I wanna say like, Civil War was a one-on-one fight between two dudes. It's just a long fist fight. It was just Robert E. Lee and... Yeah, they did it like the NBA finals.

Not that many though. I found... I couldn't find his approval rating, but I found Lincoln's last meal. They said mock turtle soup with oxtail, roast Virginia fowl, baked yams, and cauliflower with cheese sauce. Ooh, a little modern. Does that sound nice? Sounds delicious.

You think the president and the people in the White House are ever tired of having fine dining experiences? 100%, yeah. Yeah, they probably order pizza all the time. the people in the White House are ever tired of having fine dining experiences. Yeah, they probably order pizza all the time. I remember seeing a picture of the girls coming home from school and having sandwiches. They definitely have the means of rustling up something low key. What about the president himself? Presmiss my racist joke.

What did you say? I said they'd have KFC. Racism. It's funny. That is fucking good Popeyes, maybe What are the fried chicken brands? It's Popeyes did it for me. I should have gone Popeyes. It's okay. See checkers 30 31 angles Obama's are having Bojangles for dinner 31 million people in 1860 the year before yeah, like that's nothing

Yeah, but then they lost, we lost like a percentage of the population. So crazy. In the war. It's so insane. How many people are in like the city of Tokyo right now? 28 million. Probably more than that. Oh, it's interesting. I don't know. I don't know.

Amazing. Definitely an episode that really opens up your mind for the viewer. It's so nice to talk about history. I love history. Just being history, you're getting older, you know? Yeah, yeah. Like that joke that one comedian made that one time.

Well, I guess it does bring me back to this question of I'm now Starting to feel the pull of time in a little bit of urgency. We're going full circle here. Uh-huh This is all yeah, this is all been a sidebar There is some urgency now to to figure out the purpose of my life Yeah, cuz I am not content to just say live a good good life. No, no. Live a curious life. No. Keep learning, keep expanding, keep trying to be a better person.

I wanna find, I wanna find something that feels important to repeat, to keep coming back to and getting better at it, to forge ahead with. I wanna- Try stand up then. Stand up feels so fucking self-serving. You know what I mean?

Am I really doing anything? I'm just serving myself. Yeah, but that's the thing to repeat. You're serving the people, brother. I think that like- I'm bringing the people laughs. The idea of like filling up your cup of life is almost impossible because there's inherently

the hole at the bottom of the cup that is your age, and it's like you're not gonna be able to fill it no matter what you put in. And I think the more you put in the more quickly it like goes out the bottom. I suppose that's a pretty telling switch of mind that I've had, which is that for a lot of my 35th year on earth, out of my 35th year on earth, I did have the feeling of like, boy, life is long, and I really feel like I don't wanna deal with this anymore. And now I'm starting, now as I head into 36, I feel fundamentally, I'm like, fuck man,

I'm gonna be 70 before I know it. I really am. That's gonna, it's coming up quick. Dude, you're out of your mind. 70? Those were the words of a 23 year old. No, dude. I had the same thought when I was 23.

That's almost double your life. Buddy, 36 is a very, very big time number. 70 is too. I think that if I had children and had all that sorted out right now I wouldn't be thinking so much about it. No you would. I think you'd be thinking about it more. Yeah. But really? I mean I feel like once you have kids, no offense Ron, but I feel like then kind of your mission is like raising the kids. There you go. There you go. You've got your cause. I think 70 comes around a lot faster when you have kids. I think it'll kind of come almost at the same rate. Oh, it's going to come fast. You're fucked.

I mean, you don't want me to expose the fact that you are hiding a child. 23 year old sass daddy over here. Harry's been a father for 8 years. I was a child. 23 year old, sass daddy over here. Harry's been a father for eight years. That's why 19 was so bad. 19 was brutal. I was when I had my son. Yeah.

Why didn't you play so many video games? Never lets us over to his apartment. Imagine you show up yesterday and there's a baby crying. A four year old playing video games while you're asleep. I'm like, hi, who are you? Xander, Xander, in your room now. What, Francis, what do you want? You have to lower the couch from a bunk bed down into.

I gotta feed him. I mean, a shower. I have a shower. He does. That's why the Pringles, that's why you snack so much. You have the pallet of a four-year-old. As I'm hiding my son in my fucking 200-square-foot apartment. I mean, there's probably, there's definitely people,

probably even in your building. Every time Harry's late for the podcast, it's because the sitter hasn't come yet. And we have to just forgive him for all the shit. All this has been because he's been a single dad Like all of this shit you've been late for I didn't want to make a big thing of it guys seven in the morning Yeah, like yes six forty five to take his kid to daycare. He's like, oh no, I saw something in his face. I do live right in between two elementary schools.

Yeah, his mother died in childbirth. I don't want anyone to feel bad for me. All right, I got to jump. Be well. Thanks, guys. All right, my fishing rod did arrive. My fishing rod just arrived. it. underground So To you came around
