Hey, son of a boy, dad listeners, you can find every episode on Apple podcasts, Spotify or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad free on Amazon Music.
Mike White, you're a little too confident.
It's talking on the show.
In school, Rock, you can do whatever you want.
I'm ready, bro.
I'm ready, too. I'm ready too.
Take it away.
I mean, I'm about to beat this guy.
Make him wait.
Nope, start. This is how we do it. I played better under pressure.
Alrighty, welcome back to the Son of a Boy That Podcast.
Swallow it. That podcast. Swallow.
Oh yeah.
Alrighty, welcome back to the Son of a Boy. That podcast.
Today is...
Pickle 7th.
It's 1 p.m.
National Championship Day if you're a college basketball fan.
Gairs.
Dude, isn't it insane that the W or the women's tournament ended yesterday? Yeah. UConn wins. The draft for the WNBA is on April
16th or maybe it's April 15th and then the WNBA first game is May 16th
These women don't get a break. They don't get a break at all. Yeah, I hope they pack sandwiches
imagine winning a national title and then you're like
All right time to be in the WNBA in the last that a month. Yeah get to work
Like with basketball with the NBA the drafts not till June
Yeah, and then the season doesn't start till.
Months.
Slipper.
Yeah, they've timed off, timed it with Cabo.
They had it like a young girl pregnant.
So they had time to do that.
Guys, I lost.
It's cause you suck.
Well, no, it's because I wasn't paying attention
cause you guys started fucking talking.
I think they just don't want to give
the women's basketball players time to get pregnant.
Yeah, maybe that's what it is.
They're like new uncult riches.
So like you need to fucking get these women on the court.
Stats.
It's crazy to have that like it's literally like you're playing in the in the title, but
in the back of your head you're like shit I'm getting drafted next week.
Yeah, it's fucking nice.
And then I'm just and then I just have to learn the entire playbook
in the one week.
I don't think the playbook is as intense as you imagine.
I mean, it's professional sports.
It's gotta be a little bit tough.
Yeah, but you know, I don't think they're,
I don't think the learning the playbook is,
I think it's more conditioning and just going right into it.
Well, they're probably right.
You ever watch college basketball versus pro?
You're asking if I've ever seen pro basketball and college basketball?
Yeah.
I have, yeah I've seen both.
Very different, right?
Yeah.
Big time plays and playbooks in college basketball, in pro basketball.
The coaches, unless you're Greg Popovich,
defer to the stars on the team to run the show.
That makes sense.
So there are fewer plays. It's much more one-on-one.
But like, if you're the, if you're, if you're really good
and you're in college as a girl, we're talking about women's sports right now, not men's.
Why?
Brother, I can't repeat the entire beginning
of the podcast.
I heard it.
You can go listen back.
I'm just not sure why you chose this thought.
Because it's the only sport that I've seen
that has one month between the championship game
and then you're in the WNBA playing your first game.
I think that the true answer is that only like six women are
going to go to the WNBA. Of the like final couple that are going to go around.
Hockey players can go straight from the Frozen 4 to playing in the NHL. How much
time do they have off? None. They just swing right up. The seasons are
commensurate. They're condensed?
They run at the same time.
He's saying that with women's basketball, instead of running at the same time, like
men's basketball and men's college basketball run at the same time.
Women's college basketball ends and then WNBA starts.
God, immediately after.
You play two seasons back to back.
I see what you're saying. Yeah, two full seasons. That is crazy. Immediately after. You play two seasons back to back. I see what you're saying.
Yeah, two full seasons. That is crazy. It is. And you love women's sports. No, I don't.
I only know this because I looked up men's, or I looked up March Madness schedule, or
I looked up Final Four schedule, and then it came up, the answer it came up with was
the women's tournament schedule. Yeah. And I I was like why would this be what I was talking about unless Caitlin Clark was
playing why would that be what I was referring to however I haven't watched
any of the men's tournament either hmm so I guess it could have either been
there are two sick games this I watched the end of the Houston Duke game are you
gonna win that bracket now Rudy's up by 20 points and he also has the same Final 2 that I have.
Ball knower.
If Duke won I would have almost won but I think Nick's girlfriend would win over me.
If Duke won.
Yeah.
Would she have the same final as I did?
Nick Senior's girlfriend?
She knows ball.
She does.
Oh, this ass.
Salute.
No docks but salute. No Docs but salute.
You'll recognize her if you just see a ball knower out. Yeah. A lovely ball knower.
Franston Partake in the bracket. I don't want to screw things up in these eSport digital sporting events.
This one would have been pretty easy to not screw up. Just a bracket.
Just not really a filler out of forms and rosters.
I was really hoping that I was going to win it.
But I'm going to come in second again.
Do you remember the year that...
No, probably not. Right off the top.
I think you will.
UNC played Villanova in the final.
No.
And Villanova...
It's probably the most famous ending of an NCAA...
I don't really remember the March Bandits
Well Villanova, I remember the hit of buzzer beater 3 to win the game. Wildcats
Mm-hmm. Yeah, so I was if if UNC had won that game
I would have won my bracket pool. Yeah, which had 50 people in it. Yeah. $3,000. Uh, I hedged by
betting on Villanova, like a thousand bucks, but they were dogs I think? Yeah. So
there was a very tiny window where I think UNC had won by 2 or 1, I would have won both bets.
Oh, you would have won though?
I would have won both bets.
Sick.
And UNC hits the 3 to tie, and I'm thinking, holy shit, you know?
Yeah, I'm rich.
And I think, yeah, no, I needed UNC to win.
But it looked for a minute there like I might win.
They hit that Marcus Paige hit that double clutch three to decide the game.
That's exactly right.
Double clutch.
Yeah, I grew up a big Villanova basketball fan, like went to a ton of games with like
a fake ant.
What year was this?
No, my cousin went to Villanova.
The first person I knew that went to a college.
Like with sports.
That would have been like 2014?
Yeah, probably something like that.
Villanova definitely won one time when my cousin was in college.
Dante DiVincenzo was the star player on Villanova.
But he wasn't the starter.
She was dating Dante.
I don't believe any of this.
Nasty breakup though.
Really?
Well he probably got that NBA money.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like, fuck you bitch.
Yeah, that's kind of what went down.
And she was probably like fishing in the condom from the trash can trying to fucking squeeze one out just to fucking that's insane
Get pregnant to say about my cousin. She listens to the show and be a more that she's gonna be disgusted
You're the one who said that they hold like they all like you too. It always upset all obsessive Brown
That's in so many more though
Not after that now for kind of a shot is that why don't they yeah?
Well, I get I mean I get that he's likeable.
It's your turn, you're up.
No, I was gonna say, if she listens to this podcast
religiously, then chances are she is fishing condoms
out of the trash.
Crazy, crazy to say about my cousin.
Bro.
She'll hear this all.
You say crazy stuff about people's families all the time.
When, ever?
All the time.
I don't know if I've ever said anything crazy
about someone's family.
You insulted his children last episode.
Why? When did I do that?
I don't know why.
No one can say why, honestly.
It was a nasty streak that we've never seen from either.
Yeah, he was talking about-
And you start to wonder, is there stuff going on at home?
Or is, are you not getting booked
as many stand-up comedy dates?
Yeah.
Very funny.
Anyway, that almost derails the gift that I have
for you for your birthday. Oh really? So I a couple like probably a month and a
half ago I went to a place called Carnet Mare. You're familiar with it? Heard of it.
It's like a steakhouse in uh...Carnet Mare. Hudson Yard or like Seaport area and there was a
very nice gentleman who
worked there he was like I've been watching about a rest for a long time if
you ever want to go to any restaurants in our restaurant group let us know they
had Lafayette so we went there on Valentine's Day and then last night went
to I was like Locanda Verde is also better than we went to I don't like
Lafayette very much but Locanda Verde is awesome better. Very fun. I don't like Lafayette very much, but
Locanda Verde is awesome. Robert De Niro. Exactly. Is he on it? Bobby. He owns the joint? Bobby
owns the place. Really? And this guy was like, uh, he was like Robert De Niro, like, uh,
whatever. He's like familiar with your work or something like that. And you, him? No, wrong.
with your work or something like that. You, him?
No, Ron.
Or you?
I don't know if he was blowing smoke up my ass.
I couldn't tell.
But he was like, when you go to the restaurant,
his kids want to meet you.
I guess they're rap fans.
Oh, shit.
And if he's there, we want to introduce him or something like that.
I was checking your text messages.
To Zaniera?
To Bobby.
Damn.
Fucking, I'm sitting there after we got like
the crostinis arugula salad, two pastas,
a delightful gnocchi.
After the pasta, before the meats come out,
a fucking hand on my shoulder.
Fucking Robert.
Damn, this here is. I turn around.
That was last night?
Yes.
Last night.
No.
What did it really?
De Niro.
De Niro.
And it was right after your birthday.
So we like talked for a second and he was like,
my son say you're like pretty right, whatever.
And I was like, I remembered it was your birthday.
So I had him sign this for you.
God, no, there's no way this is real.
100% brother.
Damn.
Let me see that.
Let me see that.
What is it on?
De Niro.
Do you have trading cards?
Let me see that.
Is this real? Real De Niro? Do you have trading cards? Let me see that. Let me see that. Is this real?
Real De Niro.
I don't know if I'm buying it.
I want to believe it, but I just can't.
I like this so much.
I like this so much.
I'd say there's like a 60% chance Rhone is pulling one of his little...
Well, because last time he had a story like this, it was when he told me that he was doing blow with Jake Gilligan.
That's exactly what it rings out. It has a strong...
And I feel like I'm gonna go like send photos of this card to my family,
and then I'm gonna find out Rhone was just... he was in a taxi on the way here.
I'll show you the text from. That's a big eye.
Well look, we can confirm that Ron did go to Locondo Verde.
He definitely went, and it says De Niro
on the front of the card.
Did you see the front?
Here we go, look, look, this is a buddy who's his assistant,
and Bob said, Adolf Ron, is that Ron the rapper?
His son is a big fan.
He was pissed, he didn't get a word of him,
but he would have made it.
So that was the first time. You okay? That's Robert De Niro said, Rome the rapper? Yes. There's just a
name for it. Look at this. Look at the text. Robert De Niro's like 90 years old. Yeah,
but he has like a 10 year old and now an 8 year old. Yeah, he's got young heads. Look at the texture of the guy.
I thought he was bone-smoked.
Dude, if this is real,
this is up there with one of the coolest things
that you could ever have.
And rivals but does not beat.
My note from Harrison Ford.
I honestly thought it was a Harrison Ford note.
To Francis, may the force be with you, Harrison Ford.
So you actually, you met Robert De Niro last night.
Yes.
What did he say?
Did he say, can you sign this card?
He said, my sons say that you're a great rapper.
Damn.
I said, it's my buddy's birthday.
I said that you're a big fan.
Is this a different Robert DeNiro?
Look at the ball.
This is kinda got that,
but this says artwork by Robert DeNiro.
So he drew, so he painted this?
Yeah, he had a wood socket.
In 48, he painted this?
He was born in 48.
Smartass.
Look, I will say.
I've never seen someone sign a painting
with the date they were born.
Do you think that that's not real?
Like.
I'll say this.
The fact that he underlined the words
is a celebrity type of thing to do.
It's also a Rowan type of thing to do.
What do you mean?
We'll never know, we're never gonna know if this is real.
We're never gonna know.
Never gonna know.
I'm gonna have to call the restaurant.
You should.
And be like, was Robert De Niro there last night?
You should.
Did he sign this?
You 100% sure?
Here's what we're gonna do here, Paul.
We're gonna make our own reservation under Adam Ferrone.
I mean. I thought about doing it. We're gonna make our own reservation under Adam Perrone
That's real from Rome I will never live that down
Yours like I don't I don't think this is made out to you read what it says on it It says to Harry happy birthday kid go be great best Robert De Niro
Somehow the most salient advice in such a condensed
form that I could I could not have said it better myself. Don't be great.
Yeah, I had to. The sky is the limit to you and you should go be great. If you have that
directive from Robert De Niro himself then it it is your duty here, Mo.
It's crazy that it just has his phone number
on the card too.
I have a phone number on my card.
That's a lie.
That's crazy, dude.
212-925-37-
Bro, don't dox De Niro.
That's his number?
Should I just text him right now?
Thanks, bro.
How do I be great?
Teach me.
Rob, it's Harry.
Rob, it's Harry from the car. Your D.
Your D.
How do I be great?
You shot or yet?
That's crazy.
If this is real, it's probably the coolest gift I've ever got.
The true story is that that is from both of us.
Yeah, me and Francis wanted you to have that.
Because I, I, Ben has known another guy named Harry. You guys knew another guy named Harry?
No what happened was I had a friend named Harry and we photocopied that and I gave him another
version to him. And you guys just traced it onto the card? Makes sense. A pure forgery like
Abagnale would do.
His paintings look an awful lot like Bob Dylan's paintings.
What does that mean? What is Abagnale?
Frank Abagnale, from the Great Forger.
Is this similar to Bob Dylan? The colors are nice.
Yeah, it's like the exact same.
Great transition. I watched A Complete Unknown.
Oh yeah, what'd you think?
I loved it. Oh yeah, it was pretty good. I loved it. Am I crazy for loving it? No, I thought it was
great. Oh my god, I was just, the music, I'm obsessed. I took my guitar off the the hook on
the ceiling where I haven't touched it in a year or two. Immediately started finger picking.
where I haven't touched it in a year or two, I mean, I started finger picking.
If you're going to the North, come to fair.
What'd you play?
Dylan.
Really?
Is that one pretty easy to learn?
Cause all my friends knew all of them.
I know all of this finger picking stuff is hard.
It's hard to sing and finger pick.
Yeah, makes sense.
But I can finger pick.
I just have a hard time doing them both at the same time.
It feels a little bit like trying to do this, right?
But you're doing it.
Yeah, you were doing it completely fine.
But then if you switch, it gets hard.
Yeah.
And then going the other direction.
It's just one of those things that I have a hard time
separating the two parts of the mind.
Have you ever tried to play the drums?
Yeah.
Like I actually sat down and tried to get a beat going?
Yeah.
It's fucking impossible.
No.
It's so difficult.
I think some people have musical inclination
and some people don't.
I do.
I think it's a combination of musical inclination
and motor skill.
I think that some people, I have musical inclination
but not very acute motor skill,
as far as being able to put a beat together.
I could find rhythm anywhere but I can can't play drums I could do the like the
Like when you're getting the hi-hat and the yeah, so you just make it you just heard that once you start getting the foot pedal
In I'm fucked you have to practice a lot. Yeah from a super young age
Yeah, you're not doing it at all. Yeah, I am. You cross them, right?
Yeah, I get that, that pro move, but your foot wasn't meeting up with the...
No, yeah, there's no...
You aren't aware that my...
Look, I could do the same thing.
You're literally, you're like...
No.
I can do that.
You don't have to just do the bass drum.
It's not just a bump, bump, bump, bump.
I'm going bump, bump, bump, bump, bump, bump, bump, bump.
Terribly, terribly.
You don't know what my hands are doing.
Jazz?
Yes.
Awful.
I was doing traditional rock.
Show me your rock.
Let's hear it.
Show me the rock.
I don't have to do it again.
I don't think you have rock.
I don't think I need to show off. Give me your rock. You don't even know the time signature the rock. I don't have to do it again. I don't think you have rock. I don't think I need to show off. Give me your rock.
You don't even know the time signature of rock.
What's the time signature?
Four four.
Yes.
Yeah.
Easy.
Okay, what's the time signature of jazz?
Six three.
Six two.
Not your height, but what is it?
I don't think it is.
It's something weird like that.
Might be three four?
I don't know.
Let me look that up.
Definitely isn't even. That's for sure.
I don't think that there is like a set rhythm for jazz.
I think that's the whole point in jazz.
Holy fuck.
Did you enjoy the climax of the Bob Dylan movie?
They're saying it's 4-4 for jazz.
Interesting.
But it can also be 3-4. I said 3-4.
6-8, 5-4, and 7-4.
What is it for rock? I think 4 four four is common time. That's the most
playing for four
That is yeah, believe it. I'm surprised that you knew that I dude
I played the piano for eight years and then I played the clarinet
for like four
Yeah, four four is raw.
You guys should do, you guys should play
a cross hand piece together.
No, what we should do is we should do a contest
who's been playing music better, period.
Obviously you.
Why do you give up like that?
Cause it's not even, you play music like professionally.
No I don't.
Your jaw, you play music on stage.
Yeah, but it's goofy shit.
Yeah, but for eight years?
Music, yeah, but I's goofy shit. You played for 8 years?
Yeah, but I played from like preschool to like 8th grade or some shit.
What do you remember?
Nothing. I can read music in the...
I can read one scale.
You can read like Center C?
Yeah. Outside of that I'm fucked.
Like I can go up to A.
On my right hand but then once it starts going up higher
I don't know anything. I used to know it all.
You can't get to B?
It's one after A.
Yeah but it fucks me up.
Can you do the crossover?
Do you know where you cross over?
Here?
No no, with one hand.
Oh, like that? After the one, no, like with one hand. If you were to do a... Oh, like that? Something like that.
After the 1, 2, 3, and you slide under with a thumb.
Slam, slam, slam, slam.
4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
That's your auger. Did you see where I slide my thumb?
Yeah.
So you can play...
And if you were, by the way, if you were playing descending scales, well, you know what?
This is 2 in the weeds. I don't think people are gonna...
I can play jazz scale very well.
Like which one?
Do do do do do do do do do do do.
Oh, I love that one.
It's uh, you get Miles Davis, it's what?
It's C.
What would that be?
I don't know.
Who gives a fuck?
Mm-hmm.
You get the gist?
I know it.
I'm impressed.
Did you like the climax of the Bob Dylan movie?
Which was, um, the, the, what, what was it?
He plays the festival.
Oh yeah, with the controversial electronic, electric music.
Dylan had, like us, already knew about that.
Like you guys?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Robert, Robert fans?
I think that the movie almost like it wanted a bigger climax. Well, the problem is there's not a lot of...
There's not. There just isn't.
There just isn't.
It wouldn't be true to his story.
There is, but it's just not... nothing about him is that well documented after like the 70s or the 80s.
Well, he got in his motorcycle accident.
He got in his motorcycle accident.
And disappeared for 10 years. But there's like no one even noticed
that motorcycle accident ever actually happened.
There's no police report or anything.
Wow.
Well, his tour manager,
that guy who meets in the elevator in the movie,
but that's not where he had him.
That guy.
I know what you're saying.
It actually was real or if you want an excuse.
They stopped working together for 10 years
and then rekindled after that.
Because, so I do
believe it happened. I believe it happened too but I don't think there's any
proof that it happened. Like there's theories that it was just made up
so that he could just hide in his wood stock house for like a couple years.
It's enjoyable early on in the movie when everybody's kind of calling him out
for like making up his backstory. Yeah. Yeah. I think that that is a fair criticism of him. I like the
scene where the Cuban Missile Crisis and New York City is evacuated. Oh yeah. I
never thought about that. I never really thought about that, about how in a
moment of like that much terror and how much we're about to
get nuked people are like well they didn't specifically say New York City
but pretty good chance it's gonna be us especially if it's Cuba yeah so so does
us bounced does it seem like that ever make you wonder if you really got it if
you got if you got in you cuz like when he when he goes and he plays Masters of
War at like open mic that night, I would already
be back in Massachusetts.
I would be coming.
I've already Googled the largest blast radius for the known nuclear weapon with the largest
blast radius, and I have mapped that against my place upstate to see if I'd be far enough away
Would you I think so only only just
But yeah, I think I'll go up there right on the edge. You know what up to your toes
Gross marshmallows of the radioactive rubble that ends right at my feet
Does it ends directly in front of you And instead he stays and has a fuckfest.
Yeah, he fucks uh, John.
Kylie Jenner.
Joan, Joan Piaz.
Which, by the way, made them both look much more attractive in the movie.
They were both not that attractive in real life.
I don't think they did up Timothee Chalamet too much.
I didn't, I know that Bob.
But he's a hot guy.
Bob Dylan is like a...
Yeah. Like a... I didn't I know that Bob but he's a hot guy Bob Dylan is like yeah like
But I guess you could say about going as a good-looking guy when he was younger I
Thought that Joan Baez was
Unbelievably pretty in the movie in the movie and I thought that that woman is a great singer and actress
But that's not really what she looked like in her no
I know
But that scene where he's singing and she comes in to watch him and then he walks up the stairs and they don't say anything.
I watched him turn into the kiss with her.
Yeah.
15 times. Heart fluttering. Romance. I got very romantic again.
That scene, I never rewounded that scene.
I watched it a bunch of times.
I also haven't watched it because I thought it was in theaters.
I watched the movie and then I watched it again the next day. That's how much I liked it a bunch of times. I watched the movie. I watched the movie and then I watched it again the next day.
That's how much I liked it.
It's a banger. It's a good movie.
Yeah.
I thought it was good. It made me appreciate Bob Dylan more.
I thought it was good. I don't know how I feel about all the biopics coming out though.
I don't know if I need...
I really think they're putting out four for The Beatles, Beatles one for every man We're doing it like the Avengers. Yeah, they're gonna have like a post credit scene
I'm back Ringo, you know what you know what song I was listening to this morning actually was uh
the ballad of Frank Crispi
You know that one from Dylan ballad of Sir Frank Crispi. It's George Harrison. We never heard that now
Oh my god, you'd love it. I'm sure it is right up youry. It's George Harrison. Have you never heard that? No. Oh my god, you'd love it.
I'm sure I would.
It is right up your alley.
I love George Harrison.
It's amazing. It's crazy to think about how everyone knows the Beatles for obviously John Lennon and Paul McCarty, but
George Harrison put out some fucking bangers.
George is the best.
I like it.
Hey, but those boys put out some trash too though.
Let's be honest with ourselves.
There was like some post-Beatle stuff where they were like...
Cobbling together absolute ass.
Sure.
They were just volume shooters.
Of a hundred percent.
They were just volume shooters. They would put out a ton of fucking music.
Well it is kind of crazy too. I think George Harrison's most famous songs are written by Bob Dylan.
Really?
Yeah.
Hmm.
I'm like 90%
Who is George Harrison's shared ex with?
I don't know, not even close.
What famous
But they're up there.
musician.
I don't know.
And they were like really close friends.
George Harrison?
Yeah.
All right, I gotta tell you, I hate to do it, but I gotta tell a quick flight story.
All good, brother.
I'm so sorry.
For is yours.
If you guys are not into this...
Eric Clapton.
Eric Clapton and George Harrison shared an ex and then they collaborated a ton.
Wow.
Clapton?
He's kinda falling off the deep end though.
Isn't he?
Isn't he crazy?
I think you're right.
I think he's fucking nuts.
He's become a radical right wing guy.
I think he's like a white supremacist.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Isn't that a son of a whore window?
Yeah, his kid fell out the window.
Oh gosh.
But then he appears in heaven, hears a heaven, yeah.
Yeah.
Good trade-off.
If you fall...
Yeah.
I always hear that.
That's sung by a eunuch.
But yeah, being sung by some choir boy whose balls haven't dropped yet.
Do you think that was like a song that he immediately started writing,
or do you think his manager called him and was like,
we got to do something?
We need to...
Yeah.
Because you are hanging on by a thread right now. Do you think his manager called him was like we got to do something?
Because you are hanging on by a thread right now people are not taking the news well
We need a hit Eric
Don't worry I already got something cooking
All right flight story hit us. No, this is good. don't mind. You're saying that he orchestrated the hit?
No, no, no. I meant like after...
Like I meant like how long do you think it took him to write the song?
And who pushed him? Because someone pushed him to write the song.
Like pushed him.
Yeah.
Because he was already becoming a Neo-Nazi or whatever.
No, I think probably because he's... People were like, well, what the fuck happened with your son?
Oh, and he had to explain it?
I think he got to come out with some sort of PR move after that.
You think that song was PR?
A little bit, yeah.
No.
You already are a famous musician.
Your son falls out of a window.
You don't think that... you don't think his team was scrabbling?
We gotta get something out? Then it's gotta be a fucking heater?
They probably were like, you can either do notes app or you can write a song.
Zach has a comedian who likes to push boundaries.
Yeah.
Notes app.
Yeah.
You think that he was getting canceled for his son pulling up?
Yeah!
A hundred percent!
No way.
He left the window open!
It was directly his fault!
You don't think that there was any sort of like...
How old was his son?
He was a young toddler.
Yeah.
No, I think some thought it was like Superman or something. We know, the window was open, it was like a massive sky rise, it was a hundred floors up.
Oh, come on, really?
Yeah.
And Eric Clapton was on like a bender and left the window open.
You're making up the bender part.
No, I'm not!
Look it up!
I'm looking it up.
He was on a vendor.
And he just left the window open and the sun just climbed out?
I don't know.
Google AI says the boy did like to leave it against windows.
That was just one of his favorite things.
He died to windows.
And it didn't work out well because Eric Clapton, his favorite thing was leaving windows open.
1991, Eric Clapton's four-year-old son, Connor, died after falling from a 53rd floor apartment
window in New York City.
The accident occurred while the housekeeper was cleaning the open window and Connor was
not in the room.
When the housekeeper left to get cleaning supplies, Connor ran past her before the window could be closed.
He landed on the roof of a neighboring four story building.
So if you do the math, that's 49 stories.
Nothing about a bender.
59, 53.
Look up if he was on a bender.
You're victim blamed.
I think he was on a bender.
The housekeeper was on the bender.
No, the housekeeper was on the vendor. No
The Sun LSD and the Sun said I've got wings
It's worth a shot and that's why the song was about angels
What was his other song, Layla?
Oh, he had a bunch. Layla.
That was in 1991.
I don't know why I thought it was earlier.
I thought that was...
The window was about six feet high and four feet wide and it was left open.
I mean, how do you have a skyscraper window...
that could open to that with no...
Like a ledge in front of it. Nothing below it? No nose. I guess he wasn't on a bender
But that that makes me think he was because there was an answer
He probably that's probably why he went far right because guys like you were trying to put smut on this name
No, Eric Clapton was not on a bender or reapsed
into substance abuse when his son died
It makes you think.
A lot of people are asking that question.
It makes you think he was.
No, you asked the question and then they said directly no and you're like,
whoa, why are you so defensive?
No, it was a direct quote from his team.
What do you have to hide, team?
Yeah.
Well, my heart goes out there at Clapton.
Say it with me.
No it doesn't seem like it does.
It's a great song.
It's been taking a lot of glee.
No it's a great song.
I would rather Connor still be here.
Same.
Songs aren't that good.
Connor would be me and Francis' age.
Connor would be on the couch with us.
To your point do you think that there was any part of Eric?
That was happy about how all things played out because that is his most enduring song now It is by far and you can't write that without your son. He could have
Leaping from the 53rd story. Yeah, he could have written it. Maybe he already had written. Oh
There's a conspiracy
So you're that you're going back to he pushed it? No,
no. Just saying like maybe it happened and then he was like well I guess the song has
got to come out at some point. You think he told the cleaning lady hey just so you know?
No I don't think he said that. It's a little stuffy in here. Maybe like his grandma was
gonna die. Go ahead and leave that. He was like I'm gonna write the song about my grandma
and then his son died and he was like well I'm putting the song out now this is a reverie bro this is just saying I'm just I'm just coming up with some theories
I've never heard any of these theories these are good theories they're not bad
all right what are some other classics that he had okay give us a hit it oh he's got lower back
pain bro don't fucking talk shit on him. He's afflicted with lower back pain.
Yeah from constantly unlatching that window, trying to release that song.
You got false on Benoit.
On who?
On Benoit.
Chris?
I doubt.
Anything spicy to say?
No, I'm dying to hear this plain story though.
He actually, Chris Benoit, they said his team was like, we hear about this new finishing
move you've got.
We want to give it a little extra edge.
Ready to show the world.
We want to pitch something to you, Chris.
But then his team was like, we actually don't like it.
He's like, oh, I just have to kill myself.
All right, well.
Where were you this weekend?
I was in Georgia, Northwest Georgia.
Athens?
No.
Masters?
No.
Rising Fawn is the name of the town.
It's 55 minutes south of Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Which is a...
Georgia.
What's that?
We talked about this last episode.
I said there's great folly fishing up there. Yeah that I would have thought so I mean this is one of the most beautiful places
I've ever seen in America. Yeah amazing to see that like
it's in the middle of nowhere, it's at the base of the Appalachian Mountains and
Super green super lush
Big Valley really it is always interesting when you find out that like most states have like a nice area.
Yeah, except for the ones around here.
I mean, I think most states, most of most states are beautiful.
True.
I think that if you just click around on GeoGuessr in New York or New Jersey or Pennsylvania, I think you'd find some...
Yeah, you're right.
I guess I could say like down in, like Rhode Island sucks.
No, but the water in Rhode Island, the coastline, the coastline. Yeah, it's true. It is true
but it is nice to get out to Georgia and be like wow, yeah God's country and
I'm pretty sure Chattanooga was a
major sort of like entry point
Confederate stronghold one of the early spots that Grant had to burst through in order to, you know,
start heading down to the south and fighting the Civil War. But, and so you look around and you
look at these hills and you're like, were there Union officers streaming up here?
Probably.
Getting bayoneted to death? I mean, that's kind of crazy, right?
Yeah. It is always fun to think about that when you're near like a Gettysburg or something like that.
It's been blushing right here.
Yeah, for sure.
So I was down there and we were there
from Wednesday until yesterday.
I was there a long time.
Yeah.
Played a lot of golf, had a lot of fun with the Four-Poy Boys.
Those videos will come out soon.
We were at this place, Macklemore.
Poblinton Hags.
Yeah.
It was sick.
It was a really cool stay and play
kind of full surface golf resort
with a really nice hotel.
Go check it out.
Yesterday.
I want one more thing.
You gotta buy some of the pants that I bought.
I did.
You did?
With my own money.
Those are the best pants.
The five pocket?
Yeah, they're sort of like workman type things.
Yeah, I ordered one last week.
This shirt is, whoa.
That's Viori?
Let's talk about it in the ad.
Jesus, dude, their stuff is awesome.
This episode of Son of a Boy Dad
is brought to you by Viori.
Viori clothing, Rhone is wearing an awesome waffle from Viori.
It's so comfortable. I got this like maybe last week or two weeks ago.
I can't stop wearing it. It's so comfortable. It's so light, so breathable, so stylish.
It makes me look like I'm in better shape than I am.
Dude, this is what I love about Viori is that they have managed to find this marriage
between comfortable stuff that you would wear as like athleisure wear, but that actually
looks like lifestyle stuff.
Stylish, fits well.
Yeah. Usually I feel like when athleisure wear brands try to do that, they fail. And
you can tell that it's, knockoff of a yoga thing.
But the truth is that Viori has awesome, heavier duty stuff
that looks cool.
I have a lot of the pants now.
I bought a bunch of shorts.
I think that there's some, the core short, soft, lightweight,
four-way performance stretch moves with you no restriction
But I got like every type of short that they have I have athletic shorts lounging shorts
Like kind of like nicer. There's like kind of like a corduroy type of shit
They have it's so nice and the t-shirts are the softest most comfortable t-shirts. I've ever owned in my entire life

I had an option to take,
there was only one direct flight home from Chattanooga.
It was at 7 a.m.
The airport was an hour from our hotel,
so I would have had to be up at 4.30.
Yeah.
But I would have been home by 9.30 a.m.
Alternatively, I could take a connecting flight
starting at 10.30 a.m., fly south to Atlanta,
and then fly back to New York.
Not terrible.
Allegedly, or supposedly get home at like 2.40,
land at 2.40 p.m.
Much later though.
I opted for that.
I think that's nice.
When I got to the airport in Chattanooga,
the original flight, the 7 a.m., had been delayed till noon
and the woman said, I could switch you over to that,
but if I'm honest,
I don't think that flight's taking off today.
They have a bum wheel and the maintenance crew
is not coming.
How does she know all that?
She just knows.
She's fucking the maintenance dude.
By the way, when you go to small regional airports,
you get answers like that.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, because it's like Brandon Walker
and Caitlin Walker both working there.
Yeah, that woman is part of the maintenance crew
Yeah, but you can't leave her desk. She's the only Delta agent in town. That's your heart. I'm talking to you
Yeah, can't fix the please like they asked me to go back into my Jeep and we pulled a spare tire on it
I said it's not gonna work. I need that
so
She was like I couldn't in good conscience put you on that one because
I don't think it's going to leave you. I stick with your flight. I said, okay. My flight
gets delayed 35 minutes. I have a tight connection in Atlanta. As a result of that, I miss my
connection. When I get to Atlanta, I have to go on the fucking tram as you always do yeah, and then I'm running work
I'm running and running and I get to the gate it was supposedly leaving at 1225
I get there at 1223 and the woman said you missed it by five minutes. I
Said okay, I read book for 1 40 p.m.. I'm back to New York not bad
but
thunderstorms are descending upon the
not bad but thunderstorms are descending upon the Atlanta Airport I go to the Delta Lounge I come back down to the gate they're boarding the plane half the
flight gets on to the gangway the runway the no more no it's not that I gang way
sky plank the gang is it the sky plank? No. The gang plank?
What are you referring to?
That accordion-like structure
that connects to the plane.
The Sky Mole.
I think it's just called the fucking, the tunnel.
No. The tube.
It's not. There is a specific name for it.
Yeah, it's the gangway.
It's the gangbang.
No, yeah, it's the gangbang. It's the Gangbang. It is. No, yeah, it's the Gangbang.
That's what it's called.
You had it right the first time.
It is the Gangway.
There is a name for it.
It's got Gang and Way and Sky.
Gangdom's not.
The ramp?
Something like that.
The GangRamp. Something like that. The gang rap. Alright, so halfway down then the entire airport at
Atlanta gets hit with a ground stop. Every flight grounded because of the thunderstorm.
So did you get on? Were you on? No. Thank God. No. But everyone gets off. And I'm like, wow, okay, this is starting to get shitty.
I finally get on the plane, whatever,
I go back to the Delta Lounge,
then they actually lift the ground stop like an hour later
and we all board and I'm thinking,
fucking hell, we gotta get out of here
because I think these thunderstorms are gonna keep coming.
Jet Bridge.
Jet Bridge!
That's from Owen. It's keep coming. Yeah, jet bridge. Jet bridge. That's from Owen
It's true. Jet bridge close to gangway. I
Was dead wrong? Yeah, I wasn't even on the in the market. No, not even close
Not even in the area. You know one of the words
so I
Get on the plane and first of all, I had a first-class seat on my original flight
Ah, they give me a new ticket as I scan in.
It is a gangway, though.
A raised platform or walkway providing a passage.
So that's a gangway.
I'll do gangway.
But I like JetBridge.
I come to Edgemore on accurate.
But I put my new boarding on my phone.
I put it down on the thing.
It prints me a new ticket that is in first class. No. Oh
Coach coach, but I said to myself what would Harry do right now Harry would
Threaten to bomb the plane if he doesn't get his first class seat to which he was originally assigned, I'm
not gonna do that. I don't do that. I'm not like Harry. If I paid for the first
class seat, obviously. I had been, I had, that is what, but Barstow booked me a
first class seat. Oh, okay. I had a first class seat and now I've been demoted. Yeah,
that's a, they don't, you don't do that, that's not a thing. It is a thing and
it's what happened and I made no fuss of it. That's
Ridiculous. I'm so glad you're sticking to your screw. Why would you not say anything?
Because the re I was on it
I had been rebooked on a new flight that was already like highly sold with everyone had already had seats. No
There's the same plane I would have been on,
but all those first class seats had already been given
to people that were like originally on that flight.
Yeah.
So the only seats they had left to add me to were in coach.
So you got moved to a coach seat when you switched flights.
Yes.
Yeah, that's happened to me.
That's, I feel like you were locked in on first class on that flight.
Well, I had a first class seat.
But then I, because I got rebooked,
I no longer had a first class seat, even though my boarding pass said first class.
I feel like usually they'll be like,
it's not gonna be first class, and you gotta be like,
I'll take anything, just get me home.
Did they have that- did you have that conversation?
No. Damn. I just said, that's okay. You gotta be like, I'll take anything, just get me home. Did you have that conversation?
No.
Damn.
I just said, that's okay.
What did Frankie and all them do?
They weren't on my plane.
They drove to Augusta.
Was there a, something's for the Masters.
Makes nines.
Yeah.
But I just sucked it up and said, whatever, that's fine.
Guess where my seat was?
Were you sitting on the gangway?
No, I wish.
Daddy.
Well, it was 25.
I was in the window seat
directly in line with the bathroom.
You like sitting there.
Bathroom's on the left, my row.
Door opens, you know, if the door had opened
while someone was going to the bathroom,
we would have had full view of it.
Yeah, yeah.
So you were hoping it would open up.
Just directly on, right?
I know this isn't a long story, but there is a point here.
We start taxiing, and everyone's like excited,
because we thought, I thought I was gonna have
to spend the night in Atlanta.
I thought these thunderstorms, I looked at the fucking it
was pouring rain yeah you were trying to get a table at Magic City that's it and
I I we're taxiing out there's a guy in the aisle seat and a woman to my left
they're not together the guy in the aisle seat and a woman to my left, they're not together.
The guy in the aisle seat is wearing a mask.
So already I'm like, this guy fucking sucks.
Yeah.
He's got some sort of disease.
Yeah.
Or he's trapped five years ago.
Right.
So he, we're taxiing and the pilot comes on and he says, all right, good news is we're
going to take off.
Bad news is all the planes that had been ground stopped
are now vying for the one runway
and most of them are heading north.
And we have to allow 10 miles between planes.
So we're currently 15th for takeoff.
Yeah, it's tough.
He goes, it should take on the low end
like 20 minutes or so.
So we're sitting there, it adds whatever, but it's okay. We
get close, we get to like number four. The guy comes on again and he's like, all right,
now we're four for takeoff everybody, like stewardesses or whatever, take your seats.
The guy in the aisle stands up and goes into the bathroom.
Yeah, now they're saying we can't take off unless that guy sits down.
One of the stewardesses comes on in the air
and she goes, everybody please,
the seatbelt sign is on.
We are actively taxiing, we're about to take off.
We cannot take off unless everyone is in their seats.
And if you do not return to your seat,
I will be forced to tell the captain
that we have to stop
We have now been delayed. I've missed flights. I'm ready to fucking break the door down
Yeah, and rip this guy off the toilet mid shit. They like sit the fuck down
Yeah, you are now causing an issue for everybody. We are all about to get fucked because of you. Yeah a couple more minutes go by
I'm getting angry. I'm doing one of these.
Looking around, like looking for other people
who are angry.
Like, can you believe this guy?
Can you believe this guy?
Finally, he comes back out and he sits down.
I am not making this up.
We become, we start moving again.
We get to two in the line.
The woman stands up, undo line the woman oh stands up
undoes her thing and stands up at this point I'm ready to be like are they
together no oh it almost felt like she thought because he had gone it was all
right for her to go and you're? Yeah, but we're being given clear directions.
Not allowed to do this. Races? I'll say what hers was. She was, I want to say Indian maybe?
Or perhaps Persian? She had the henna tattoos on your hands. What is that mean I've seen it done in Dubai but I don't know if
that's Persians have notoriously small bladders
Persian my Persian sister sound off on this bigot that's not let him get away
with that that's true and weigh in and come that's true. Persian way and uncommon. That's true. All my Persian points. It could be
Iranian. I don't know what the, I don't know where the, but she had that. She had the henna tattoos,
but no, no other sort of signifiers, markings, or religious wear or anything like that.
But got, luckily there was a flight attendant sitting
in front of the bathroom and he saw her unbuckle
and he goes, don't do it.
Straight up said that.
He goes, don't do it.
Wait, who said the guy crossed over?
The flight attendant who was sitting in the jump seat
against the front of the bathroom,
or like the back of the bathroom,
saw her get up and he goes, don't do it.
And so she looks and she sits back down. I'm like, I oh I almost I swear to God
I almost turned to her because we took out we took took off three minutes later
Yeah, I almost turned to her and went what were you thinking? I
Wanted to ask her that I wanted so badly to say, what were you thinking?
Why would you have done that?
I thought we had time.
We were so clearly told not to do that
as a result of the guy next to us.
You watched that happen?
The black guy with the mask?
Yeah.
How did you know that?
Because he didn't say his race.
Yeah.
Uh, yeah, I couldn't tell if he had tattoos or not.
If he did, he should have done them in like white, like a photo negative, you know?
Like a blank space tattoo.
Anyway, so we take off, we reach cruising altitude, she jumps up out
of her seat and goes to the bathroom. When she opened the door, I was hit with a wave
of poop. That was beyond belief. And I instantly forgave her. Yeah. She had to go to the bathroom so badly.
Yeah.
And I thought, oh, in a way, this justifies it.
Yeah.
Because she wasn't just having a cheeky pee.
No.
She was about to fucking unleash the gates of hell.
Oh my.
That's what people want though.
When you're inconveniencing someone with having to go to the bathroom, they're hoping it's
the worst shit you've ever taken. It's like when there's a traffic jam on the highway and you're like, someone better have
died.
It's like you better be shitting your pants if you're going to stop the plane.
I had to breathe out of my mouth for five straight minutes.
I turned my air on.
She's sitting next to me.
And I felt bad.
I mean, everybody knows what had happened.
Everybody's aware that it was her.
It is what it is.
But yeah, and I know, I immediately thought of your joke.
The one.
Oh, the girl shitting next to me on the plane?
Yes, of course.
It's an original.
It's one of my first jokes.
That's not a Schumer?
No.
No, I wrote that one.
Oh yeah, actually I wrote that one.
Oh my god.
Did she show signs of shame?
No, she opened her laptop and started working and then I watched her work for a while.
That's like that uh, I've told
that story about Gardein on the sea shit on the plane.
I'm sure that she was actually doing work and
not just covering up to the fact that she just
quite, quite literally
blown up the plane. I mean
it smelled, it was so
bad. Yeah, it stunk. It was
so bad. And then the guy on the left
opened up a Tupperware thing of leftovers.
And he had a filet of salmon.
And the smell of that with her, it kind of started convincing me that it was more food
than poop.
Yeah.
And I got over it.
Because I was not feeling it.
Well, eventually, if you're on the plane long enough, the smells kind of just blend together.
Yeah.
And you had a weekend, a full week of living it up with Jerry and shit like that.
Yeah.
You were probably pretty hungover.
I wasn't hungover, really, but I didn't feel great.
I mean, yeah, we didn't.
You hitting the cocktails pretty hard this weekend?
No.
You getting cocktail weekend?
Huh? Transfusions.
I don't really drink those.
Mid-Julep. It's more of mid-julep season down in Georgia.
Yeah.
Yeah.
A minced shoe-lip.
I've told the story about when Gardini told me about when he was sitting in first class
and he tried to take a shit and he got out, he got off.
He got out of the bathroom and he sat down in his plane and the flight attendant was just staring right at him because she was sitting in the jump seat by the bathroom.
And then she looked, she made direct eye contact with him and the gang pulled out perfume and
then just started spraying while just staring right at him.
Well, I think that's the same type of thing as when people get mad at babies for crying
on a plane.
Okay so if you guys were going to have your first gay experience with someone in the box store office,
would you prefer to be a straight guy or a gay guy?
Definitely a gay guy.
Gay guy.
Yeah.
Because for a gay guy that's just another gay experience.
Well they can walk me through it.
It's just I just fucked.
A straight dude then you're ending up in the White Lotus situation where you're like, Cause for a gay guy that's just another gay experience Well they can walk me through it It was just I just fucked
A straight dude then you're ending up in the white lotus situation where you're like Can we just never fucking talk about that? Ever?
Cause Tommy's a gay guy
It's not your first time fucking though
You still know how to fuck.
So you're saying that you rather may not kind of like,
guided you through the experience?
No, I think it's a, I think you go,
assuming it's something that I'm going to feel immense shame about afterwards.
I mean you're out in the wilderness.
It's like saying do I want my, if I go summit Everest
and I have no hiking experience.
Do I want...
You think fucking a gay guy is the same thing as summoning Everest?
Same exact thing.
Yeah, it's scary, it's new.
Yeah.
You're out of breath.
It's a rush, it's a rush like no other.
You're a little light-headed,
there's usually a small Nepalese man there.
That's what I'm saying.
Do you want an experienced Sherpa
to guide you up the mountain,
or do you want another guy who's like,
boy, I've never even been outside?
But that's like saying, do you want it to be
a great experience?
No.
Like, do you want it to rule?
As a straight male, you'd hope it's awful.
I think I want it to.
To affirm your belief in it.
Yeah.
If I know it's gonna be the only time I do it,
I want it to be as good as it could be.
I want it to be the best. But that probably won't be, the only time you do it I want it to be as good as it could be. I want it to be the best.
But that's probably won't be the only time you do it if it's if it's great.
Why do you say that? You don't know that.
Because if you fuck a dude and you're like this is way better than fucking girls
you're probably going to keep fucking dudes just on the low.
Well not necessarily. I mean I think I think it could still be good but ultimately I do prefer
Vag.
How do you know? You never fucked ass. I don't. good but ultimately I do prefer Vaj.
How do you know?
You never fucked ass.
I don't.
You never fucked dude ass.
Yeah, I was gonna say, you don't know
how much ass I've been in.
I mean if you're fucking.
You ever clap cheeks?
Ass?
Mm-hmm.
No, not for me.
Never been in there?
No.
It's funny when Vaj are like, I wanna get some ass.
Yeah, I gotta get some ass tonight.
Getting ass, cause you don't know how much ass they've got.
But it is an interesting question. Sound off in the comments if you'd rather have your first sexual experience be with a gay man or with a straight man if you're going gay.
Well that kind of loops back in though, White Lotus.
Did we talk about that? I don't think we did
You called the you called the blender being a major piece
You did
I should have said out loud that I knew that... Well, no, you did call it that Blender was a major piece that ended up being nothing
for some reason.
Well...
Like, that didn't make any...
That could not have been a less of an ending to that's plot line.
I don't agree with that.
He killed his kid.
And then there was...
He almost killed his whole family except for the one he accidentally...
Yeah.
He was trying to save because that kid was pure.
He was the one member of the family.
I think the point was that he was the creepiest one.
No. The whole point...
No, but I think as the viewer it was kind of like, oh, he's saving the wrong kid.
That kid's fucked.
No. No. He turned off his brother. kind of like oh he's saving the wrong kid that kid's fucked no no the whole
point off his brother because he's a people pleaser it's not a pleaser it's
a freak he said you like coming you like getting off I just wanted to do nice
things for you yeah now that fuck that kid he was the only one who was willing
to live with nothing I was pissed when his eyes open back up
Close him
Then he needs more protein he needs more protein shake
Yeah, I just didn't understand like everything felt rushed
Like the the the the dad's gonna kill the entire family great build-up. You're like, holy shit
This is I was like this is almost too dark. This is fucked
Well you knew it wasn't gonna happen.
I thought it was gonna happen. There was 20 minutes left in the episode.
I didn't think there was gonna be another twist which there was
They didn't write in was gonna be another twist which there was
Why they let in they let Walter Goggins go on like a shooting spree at the end Walter Goggins, what's his name?
Walton you're just always so close but not quite on it gives a fuck Walton
Now you let Walton Goggins go on the shooting spree. Two things that didn't make sense.
The only endings that made sense were Greg and the lady getting all the money and then
Walton Goggins, I guess his ending made sense.
But who gives a fuck about his ending?
The only, I think the only thing anyone wanted to see was what was going to happen with the
family.
And then he almost kills the family, the family doesn't die, and then he kills his son, and
then his son comes back to life, the dad's crying, and then it cuts to the next scene
and they're on the boat.
Like we never even saw the family learning that his dad tried to kill all of them.
I think the whole point is that all of that needed to happen for the dad to be okay with the fact that
His family was about to find out about his financial
clusterfuck and
He said we're gonna be able to get through this as a family. I guess yeah, but then even like the see the three women
Like so they were pretty much in a mass shooting and then it cuts to them the next time we see them
They're on the boat smiling laughing looking at Instagram
Like that it's just a time to go back on the boat
Two dudes to two dudes that we've been hanging out with the entire week just died next to us
but
what
I guess the security guys
but What? They weren't hanging out with us. I guess the security guys. But if you were on vacation and you were leaving vacation and then two dudes next to you got
shot and fell into the water, you think you'd be on the flight home being like, what a vacation.
What a great week that was.
Crying because of how great the week was.
The only thing that, hey, I guess the only thing that could have been better is if those
two dudes didn't get killed next to us while we were leaving the hotel.
Look, I think the whole show is a little far-fetched, right?
Isn't that the point?
No, I don't think it is.
I feel like it's not that far-fetched if it didn't end that way.
Everything at the end was far-fetched.
I thought that I liked the series a lot and I think that people like really want White Lotus to be like
I don't know. I don't even know what they want it to be but they like want to be perfect in their mind or I don't
Yeah, I thought it was just like such an interesting character study and like the dynamics of the women's relationship
Isn't like lost because the ending didn't like fit together like a perfect puzzle piece like I thought that like all the
women together were like such interesting character studies on like female friendship
I loved it I loved it I think it's you either lying to yourself I think it's those visually
stimulating show I think the colors the clarity whatever fucking cameras. They're using I don't understand how that show can look that way and all of those shows don't look anything close to it
Do you have any thoughts on that what's going on there? What?
Long lenses lots of stuff is blurred soft focus
Mmm season rankings one two three soft focus. Season rankings?
1, 2, 3.
I didn't think that. I like them all, honestly.
I think I'd go 1, 3, 2.
I thought that the third season, the entire time, like I have the exact same take as Tommy.
Where it's like the whole season I was like, this is great.
I loved the actual season and then the finale finale I was like this doesn't make any sense
really I didn't like I didn't understand like the security like the Walton
Goggins thing didn't make sense to me because the secure why were the
security guards like that just didn't make sense I thought the their job is
to take care of those two the people that own the hotel and the when Balton Goggins was within 10 feet of them
After he's gotten in multiple arguments with the dude. They're just gonna like take a stroll.
I thought that
The dad the scene where he sort of cryptically the old man says oh, I knew your dad your dad wasn't such a good guy after all
It's like dude, you're you're really referring to yourself in hindsight
That you're gonna you're gonna tell out loud on that when he was like he is your dad
Yeah, that's all Star Wars. What are we talking? Yeah? It was a little far-fetched. I I did think that that was an unnet it was it felt
so
Trite to me it just didn't make it was just an unnecessary twist yeah you're like you
really trying to shoehorn
that classic whatever edible thing in there
he is your dad yeah no
like that's what that's the reaction that Mike White was hoping for from the
audience that we were gonna be like oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Right. It is his dad. Yeah, but you're 130 IQ.
It was the dad the whole time.
Probably some 125 IQs out there that were fuckin'...
You just expect everybody to experience it at your level.
There were probably some people who worked on that.
I just feel like the dad's...
The dad's plot line was easily the bet...
Like that family was the best plot line the entire time.
Totally.
And it ended quite terribly. I think it was an interesting plot line. Yeah, like that family was the best plot line the entire time. Totally. And it ended quite terribly.
I think it was an interesting plot line.
Yeah, the plot line was great.
Okay, different question.
Do you think anything from this season
was set up for the next season?
And if so, what, which characters might carry over?
I thought it was interesting that,
who's the sister's name that got the bag?
Who's the sister that got the bag?
You got the sister that I'm talking about?
Her son was there.
Oh was it?
Five million.
Yeah was it?
Belinda.
Belinda.
She was in both seasons I think.
The first season and the third.
I think she was in the second too wasn't she?
She wasn't in season two.
Because she worked with the Wet Blows in the Hawaii.
But she got left behind in the first season
because she wanted to start a business.
And then the rich person left.
And then that dude at the end wanted to start the business.
So maybe there's a storyline of him coming back and looking
at things like that.
Yeah, maybe.
Because there was a parallel.
Greg?
No, the guy that worked at the.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
She was fuxing
His sweet Asian bond he did look good
Die if you're if we're talking stuff they rushed at the end the guy talk immediately being like the driver with sunglasses on
Yeah, all he did was shoot one guy in the back.
Well, I guess all the other security guards died.
Yeah, but she had to tell him 20 times,
shoot him, kill him, shoot him, kill him.
I don't think that's what you want.
But I thought he was being a bit of a pussy guy talk.
What would the booted do?
Yeah, she's she's so pretty I love her mook Connor mooks. Oh, yeah, I
Didn't I didn't like her class she was she was so classist she only liked him when she thought he was ascending
there was no resolution to that i thought the
i thought them
you know having robbed the hotel would turn into a more of a important plot
moment you think
you know they decided they decided we're just gonna
not touch that.
He got out of it by just being like,
please don't tell on me.
And Guy talks like,
fuck, he asked me not to tell on him.
Yeah.
I'm gonna quit.
Yeah.
This is too hard.
Valentine.
You can shoot him in the back, bro.
Mm-hmm, back shots.
Yeah, I don't know.
I thought the last two episodes were stinkers. I
Thought the opposite for severance. I thought severance
season dog shit finale incredible
Hmm. What is that? What was that?
Said some chills. Why chili? I don't know
I was worried some
Full-body that was like when you're about to fall asleep
Mm-hmm. It was a full-body jerk
Mm-hmm Yeah, love on the spectrum the season is fucking amazing. Well, we're watching much in the studio now
The studio is also amazing. I'm all three episodes all three episodes in phenomenal haven't started it
All three episodes in phenomenal haven't started it
That much time to watch TV one two was Gordon Lightfoot in that or was it in White Lotus finale can't remember
You know that song you know, it's a phenomenal movie here ball I
Don't The Good Shepherd
Good movie. I'm watching it again
Seen it nine times
You're probably right about that you can watch the studio, but I've also I'm reading the grant
Biography and I actually feel like it's
It's like a cup of water that never ends like I think pages
are getting added as I keep reading I don't feel like I'm any closer yeah I don't think I'm any
closer to the end now that I am but then I was two weeks ago and I've read hundreds of pages yeah
how long is the book 9 960 pages. Damn.
It sucks when reading feels like a chore like that.
Like, I'm not saying you're saying it's feeling like a chore.
It is now.
When you feel like you have to get through something
to a cough or something, it just feels counterintuitive
to what should be an enjoyable activity.
You know what's comforting about this book in some weird way
is that the same level of
like hatred and sort of blaming the other party for the nation's ills existed in 1870,
probably obviously because it's right after the Civil War as do today.
But all the sort of like, you know,
they've got the power, they're fucking it up, we're gonna try to take over
and blame them for everything, stuff.
It's the same, it's been the same way forever.
Yeah, it's not even indicative of the United States.
It's indicative of like all cultures and countries
and just human nature.
And politics, yeah.
So in a weird way, you know, you think to yourself,
for some reason I often romanticize past presidential run,
whatever, tenures and think that there was a time
when our country was a little more healed or cohesive.
And I think that, I don't know if that's ever been the case.
I don't know if it's ever.
We've had multiple wars over our own country's politics.
Revolutionary wars, civil war.
I wonder if there was ever a time.
Vietnam?
When the party that was not in the presidency or not in power or whatever,
was able to just like more,
the majority of the non-powered party was able to say,
yeah, they're not our guys, but you know what,
they're doing a pretty damn good job.
Was the left under Reagan saying he's pretty good?
I think that when times are like that, like people start to hyper fixate on things that
really don't matter and they put them like at a really high level of importance and people
will start arguing about like video games and shit like that.
But like the video games are making the kids violent.
Yeah. It's like things have to be going pretty fucking good for you to be zeroing your focus on something. That's that's
Reagan was big on drugs. He was huge on drugs
Yeah, you know the war on drugs keeping keeping drugs out of our kids Nancy Reagan. I think that was her whole platform
Yeah, they were putting people and giving people like life in prison for like having a gram of weed
Yeah, and then Clinton, you know pretty pretty good president. I would say similar, right?
Affair but I also remember people were pretty like miffed about the way he handled the
The Bosnian Herzegovina war that the Serbian they used to be over there island to give a fuck about that
Jeff you're about the Bosnians. I think that just a minute. I'm about to bust
FDR
FDR would be the guy
where the whole country was like, yeah, we're behind you.
Yeah. But that's because of
a war. In times of war,
the country does get behind the president. Makes sense.
Cause they were probably sick of fucking
Herbert Hoover
and fucking, so I like Cal.
Calvin Coolidge.
Fucking chicken in every pot in my ass.
Hoover. Damn straight. Hoover. chicken in every pot in my ass, Hoover
Damn straight, Hoover
Chicken in every pot, fucking dumbass
He didn't have a fucking chicken for us
And then he was like, let them eat cake
Let them eat cake
Fuck it
JK, that was Antoinette
Big city
Did Antoinette help like the I think she was chesty.
Is that so?
She had a very thin breast.
Thin and sharp.
Oh, big time. and sharp. The French at that time, they were putting their titties out.
Oh, big time.
So you can get a portrait of Marie Antoinette.
Thin breasts.
Yeah, it's like a tube.
If it's modeled after the champagne glass.
The top, no, it's not that.
It's not that.
It's not that.
It's not a champagne coupe.
Oh, I love this one you said.
A flute.
Oh.
Champagne flute is the champagne glass.
A coupe is the round one that
Yeah, yeah, it's round sides of the thin stem. Yeah
Yeah, none of our first ladies had hit out like that none ever has she's got broad chest
She's a broad chest or like a broad chest? She's a broad chest.
Like a broad chest?
She has a broad chest.
Big.
Wide.
Are you a tits guy, Sass? Do you like tits?
Love tits.
Really?
Who doesn't?
Man, I go back and forth.
Cause I like butt too. I guess uh... Butt's not bad.
I guess Melania has some racy features.
Does she?
But will it go down in history as like the most known images of her?
Melania?
I haven't seen Melania's racy photos.
She was in like Maxim. Maxim Like do you think that people will be like oh the American president's wives
Boy imagine how much puss baron Trump is getting these days in college seven feet tall
Going to NYU. Oh, yeah, but it's like he's he's the bad boy
Do you know what I mean? Why you I don't know if he's getting any puss.
Why do you say that?
He's in the city.
He's throwing down his black card at Up and Down
on Tuesdays.
Because NYU kids are like the most liberal people
on the planet.
That's my point.
He's the forbidden fruit.
Damn.
Wow.
Ass naked on a private jet.
You were able to get those nudes of Melania Trump up a lot faster than you were able to
get the Robert De Niro photo.
My wife said that I shouldn't show it to you after what you said last week about our children.
Good.
Interesting.
Agreed.
You nasty, nasty boy.
So this is fake.
I can throw it away?
I mean, it's yours.
You can do whatever you want.
When you were gone, he goes,
I have a... he goes,
So what happened? I was like, you actually met Robert De Niro?
And he goes, yeah. And then he goes,
He told the story,
he comes,
He gave me a pat on the back,
and then he goes, we took a photo
on someone else's phone.
I was here for all of this.
You weren't paying attention though, you're playing chess?
Want me to finish the story?
Took the photo on my wife's phone and you said,
why didn't you put it up on Instagram?
No, I said, no I didn't.
I never said that.
You said, why didn't you, who takes a photo
and doesn't well?
Put it up here. I had a little bit of a frog in my throat tell but um no he said
We took the photo. I said can I see the photos that I don't have the photo
And I said well, then why did you I said you phrased it like you said that you weren't able to get the photo
The way that you phrased it you made it seem like you you were giving yourself insurance to be like if I asked to see the photo. What? The way that you phrased it, you made it seem like you were giving yourself insurance
to be like, if I asked to see the photo.
No, I asked my wife immediately to send the photo.
Let me see.
She said, I'm not going to send it.
Let me see.
She didn't send it.
Exactly.
Because you didn't meet Robert De Niro.
This is, you're the boy who cried wolf.
You understand what you've got yourself into.
This isn't on me, this isn't on you.
I can't believe, if he is telling the truth, you're being very, very rude right now.
No, I understand that, yeah, I agree with that, but you also have to understand
there's a, I think there's still a good chance that this is fake.
Robert De Niro might have the best character in The Good Shepherd.
Can I say this?
I'll say something here.
I'll look up his signature.
Watching that movie, that's a good idea.
I wished that I had gone to Yale instead of Harvard.
Really?
Because I would have been in Skull and Bones.
That's the acting thing or that's the secret society?
It's the secret society.
My grandfather was in it.
Really?
And went straight to the CIA.
I've told that story before.
It would have been funny if you were in the CIA.
Do you know there's only 12 people
in each secret society total?
Yeah, I think it's 12 or six, maybe it's 16, pretty sure.
I would definitely watch a show about the secret societies.
I think knowing that, like six, maybe it's 16, I'm pretty sure. I would definitely watch a show about the secret societies. I think knowing that, like,
because my grandfather had been in it,
and the way I was,
I would think that I would have probably been in it.
And that would have been pretty cool.
To the tables down at Moir's.
Was he in a rush?
What?
Was he in a rush?
Probably, I don't know why. He's having a hard time finding his signature
This one looks pretty similar
I believe I believe double down at all. I believe this one. I'm gonna go ahead and look anything like it
I'm gonna believe this one here ball. I think you need to I need think you need to relinquish the the fight here
That does this look similar if there's anyone that's similar then it is
the one
Because last time you last time you told me this you said you said you did blow with
Jake Gyllenhaal, and then I went and told everyone I know and then next thing I know it's on the barstool
Homepage, and I'm getting called a fucking retard
Yes, they did the whole joke was oh look how dumb he is he believed something one of his friends told them
From and would put all over tick- over TikTok and people believed it as a real
Jake Gyllenhaal story. They're like, look at what Jake Gyllenhaal did. It was on, there's
on like individual TikToks getting hundreds of thousands of uploads or likes.
Uploads. Reddit head.
Reddit community. I've been on r slash mock dress.
I got to see the photo I'm gonna
have to get the photo I should I call the restaurant to put Bobby on it's
Marty it's Scorsese put Marty on the fucking phone De Niro
Put Marty on the fucking phone. De Niro.
Put Bobby on.
It's morning.
Taxi driver too.
But you're doing it.
You're gonna be paying back.
The De Niro girl that he rates the rose up.
Are you okay?
Ask Bobby what he thinks. Time to call me back. Do you know the girl that he raped for rose up?
Ask Bobby what he thinks. Time to call me back.
Is everything okay, Morty?
Your voice?
The frog in your throat.
I just woke up.
It's 8 PM.
He's doing a totally inaccurate Martin Martin Scorsese impression
Tell Bobby you call me a surgeon right away me
Mr.. Buscemi I was always pushing I think it is
Studio reference
Yeah, very
One of my top comedians and notice I didn't say top female comedians mm-hmm
top overall top overall
Now why would you I love them all together
frauds Joke feasts I left them all together. Frauds,
joke thieves,
I put them all in the grates.
Doesn't matter. That's why Schumer's up there too.
I went fishing this weekend.
Caught ten trout.
Got to use that rod that dude,
I got to use my new rod.
Shit was insanely good.
See this is real cork.
I don't believe that this rod is actually what the guy says it's made of.
Patron hasn't lied to me.
He's got you there.
Patron hasn't lied to me multiple times.
Made me look like a fool.
You just looked up the signature.
That's something you would do.
What?
You would absolutely do. You would look up the signature and you would do it like you probably took like eight of these cards home.
And then you just sat in your living room just practicing the signature for an hour.
You would do that. You would. But is that not something he would do?
I agree. He loves a good Caprice.
And I...
Can you not imagine Ron...
Look, there's a reason I'm neutral party here.
...pretending to write down Robert De Niro's signature for two hours straight?
I am not...
Give it back to me.
You should name...
I'll literally find another dude named Harry.
Here's a good... I got a good proposition for you. You name the firstborn Harry.
Happy birthday.
Go be great Harry.
I thought it was like a funny gift to give to you.
Cause it's fake.
No, because Robert De Niro, instead of like making it about me in the moment,
thinking of you on your birthday to do something,
and all you've done is spit in my face.
Cause I'm debating on it, like if it is real it's probably one of the best gifts I've
ever gotten.
Exactly!
But if it's faith then I'm going to throw it away.
Why?
Because I'm not going to keep a fucking piece of paper that you signed yourself.
I didn't sign it myself.
It's just like the idea of Ron sitting in his apartment, I know you can see it.
I think.
Wife's asleep, he's just watching fucking he's watching college basketball
His fingers are staying all the ink of the time in blue. He's got tried seven
He's got the left hand covered in ink. There's a wax candle that's dripped down to the fucking nub. Yeah, it's not it
Throwing him over his shoulder is a pile of-
Can you not see Rome walking out of a restaurant seeing this, seeing it says De Niro on it
and grabbing like a stack of them?
Not even know what he's going to do with them yet, but he grabs the stack.
Yes.
It's absolutely something you would do.
I don't even believe that you did it like in the moment.
I think you just took the stack.
Like I think you were walking out, you saw this like in the moment. I think you just took the stack
Like I think you were walking out you saw this and you're like I'm gonna take a couple of these and you took them and then you were like I'm gonna write
You might have to hairball can you do me a favor though? Yeah, okay in the event that that is real
I'd like you to stop handling it so much
Because I think that it will lose value the more that you touch it. Right now it's like a PSA 6.
And we need to keep that before it, you know, any lower.
I want us to frame that.
Let's put it in one of those card protectors.
I know, I have one with me.
Could you wanna see both sides?
You wanna see Bobby's artwork and you wanna see...
What are you looking for? Improvections? You want to see? Yeah. I'm gonna have to bring this to a pawn shop or something. Yeah.
Get it checked.
So he just hangs out there all the time?
I mean, I don't know what more factors of verification
you want other than that I showed you the text messages
from the guy.
You did show me the text messages,
but you didn't show me the photo, which is raising concern.
My wife doesn't fuck with me.
I mean, it was a mistake.
That's not true.
That's true.
That can't be true. You don't understand man
Why not understand when you said that joke hilarious?
but
Comes with comes with a big cost
Linda there's a lot of questions that are that are
But there's a cost. There's a lot of questions that are...
The benefit is like explosive. Like last for everybody.
But if your wife hated me, you probably wouldn't have asked for the signature.
Well the thing is, I don't hate you.
But like you're gonna bring that up in front of your wife fresh off her deciding to hate me?
You're gonna ask Robert De Niro to sign a card for me?
Of course. It's your birthday. But your wife hates me. They hate me You're gonna ask Robert De Niro to sign a card for me
But your but your wife hates me
What you guys got you went into a separate room he took you to the private room
I'm on this seat my wife friends here friends here, my wife's across. He comes up over this shoulder and there's this half wall and he signed it on there.
It wasn't like me asking my wife over there it's like hey can I ask
Bobbie to sign this? I see. It's crazy
I don't think I'm being an asshole. I wouldn't go that far
I'm being a downing Thomas for sure. I think that if ron were not known for
Hijinks yeah, then you would still find a way to not be appreciative of that gift. I have a million scapegoats that I've told a whopper before.
Are you... is there anything that you can think of that either of us have done for you
or given to you where you thought, wow, that's awesome, I can't believe how nice that is.
That's so kind.
Yeah, this is real.
No, before that.
But you got a million holes in it.
Before that?
Yeah.
Have I ever done anything that made you happy?
Yeah, sure.
Have I ever done anything that made you happy?
Oh my god, so many times.
And you have them all memorized?
I could rattle off five right now.
I could rattle off five right now. No problem. I could rattle off five right now. I could rattle off five right now, no problem.
I could rattle off like two per.
So four.
Yeah, four.
I don't know if I could rattle off five.
It's a little much.
Mm-hmm.
Go ahead.
Oh, I'm not gonna say them.
No?
Embarrass myself on the show. Hmm
Yeah
Yeah, correct
