Picking cool wallpaper?
Yeah, it's not my forte.
I mean, if it is, you better shut up about it.
It's not something you're fucking bragging about.
You know what he's surprisingly good at?
I didn't know Chris was by.
You ever seen him pick out kitchen wallpaper?
Yeah, it does feel like a roundabout way of calling somebody gay.
Yeah, of course.
No, the kid picks out wallpaper, if you know what I mean.
No, it is.
Dude, I mean, interior decorating.
I like to say I'm a little
I'm a little by myself
I'm pretty good at what I do
yeah yeah yeah
you see in our place
yeah true
you know and it's not
it's it's about curating for the space
shut the fuck out of God
yeah yeah yeah
my bad dude
too early dude
I got fucking delayed six hours yesterday
oh in Atlanta
yeah and I drank next to two fucking
bikers
these two fucking soft
ass bikers.
They were dressed the same.
They had the same red undershirt.
Their same jackets.
Like they had the same uniform,
which is the gayest fucking...
Yeah, dude.
Like, you gotta...
You know what I mean?
We had the same sneakers.
And I'm like, if I see them on you,
I'm like, I had to take these fucking things off.
Seeing a biker in an airport.
And you know, it's a type...
That's an analogy for something.
No.
You know, you can...
Yeah, it turns out they're not so good.
Yeah, a biker at an airport.
That's like putting shit.
on top of poop.
But I mean, stop it, Josh.
Stop it right now, dude.
And you know, they're the bikers that just want to belong.
You know what I mean?
Like the crossfit of bikers?
Yeah.
They're just, they just want friends.
They got no fucking, they got no heart.
You know, they got all their teeth.
There's no scars on their face.
They don't have like fucking big mitts.
Yeah, yeah.
That's what seeing them in an airport makes you think.
Yeah.
You go, you're not really committed to this.
Yeah.
Otherwise, you would have.
you know.
Yeah.
We would have loaded up the bike
and made the trip.
Yeah.
And you put some...
Are you flying to buy another bike?
Yeah.
You put some disease bag of shit
behind you to hold on to you.
You know,
some big fake titted Floridian.
No.
Looks like a fucking raisin.
You know what I mean?
Some,
some,
some hog, babe, you know?
Dude, that's the New Hampshire.
That's the New Hampshire.
Oh, that's it to do.
New Hampshire.
You ever, you ever take a trip
through New Hampshire, dude?
It's all,
it's all the like
I don't know
what they're called
but it's like
it's got it's the RV of Harley Davis
yeah
it's like a layout bed
you can nap on the back
and it's two units
oh my
dude the women in New Hampshire
I think they are hatched out of eggs
I think they grow
them underground
New Hampshire
like
ladies are fucking
atrocious
they're
they'll be a
they'll be like a
row of them they travel in tax
of course they do
it looks like
the gremlets
it looks like
a quarterback
just gave its offensive line
like gifts
you know what I mean
like
it's fucking
nuts
there's just one
man's a bike
you're handing out bikes
yeah
yeah
yeah
Oh, man.
It's unbelievable.
I can't believe it's the earliest
we've ever done a podcast
after the longest fucking week of our lives.
Yeah, dude.
Longest two weeks stretch, dude.
That was a good one.
Hell of a beach trip.
Philly's Shane show to New York
to a private gig in Colorado.
Yeah, yeah.
To a fucking week in Florida.
New York, yeah.
Look at this, dude.
I was telling Josh,
I was like three days away from saying it.
I told Nate if I catch up, I'm saying it, dude.
That's the real motivation.
All the week, I'm like, put sunscreen on.
Now.
I'm close.
I'm so close.
Spirals are getting tighter at it.
Dude, my rig is shot.
Yeah?
Yeah.
No, no joke.
It's fucking wrecked.
I couldn't wash my hair.
He becomes a scrambling quarterback.
Tanner he gets the more he likes catching the ball and throwing it.
He starts, yeah.
He's playing catchy.
He's scrambling.
I won.
Wash my hair.
Because like anything above my shoulder, just the pinch is crazy.
Oh, you're getting a pinch now.
Yeah.
You got to start doing some banded joint mobilization drills.
I'm not doing that.
Jesus Christ.
I'd rather pick out that.
I know a guy, Tommy, if you want to get some joint mail mobilization going.
You see you're doing band work.
Put a bullet right fucking here.
Dude, bandwork can smoke you, dude.
Bandwork is what we all should do.
I know.
I know.
You ever see those things like you see,
there's like certain like drills like you're like,
what do they call them like the rotator cuff?
Not the road.
Well, there's like certain muscles in the rotator cuff that are like so underused
and underdeveloped that if you get you get like a guy who can lose like the world bench breast
record will try to like lift it in a certain way.
And it's like three pounds.
His body can't do it.
Yeah.
Use the stabilizers.
The muscle stabilizers.
Yeah.
Our old drain or ferg used to get me doing stuff like warmups before like where you just
hold like two and a half plates laying down.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
With your head on the on like a towel.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Y.
W.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Oh,
that'll humble you're real.
Yeah.
Dude,
you can't even do two and a half pounds and you're like that's fucking
insane.
Yeah.
Now the band workouts are sick.
I mean,
that would be like a YouTube channel I would watch.
Yeah.
Band workouts.
Just a guy walking up to power lifters going like, come on.
Yeah.
I'll show you something.
Any of those,
any of those guys that are over like 28 like power lifting?
Yeah.
Just being like, come on.
Yeah.
Handing him a band.
See what he could do with this.
Yeah.
That's the equalizer, dude.
Yeah.
Quit it.
Then they just fucking eat it.
Yeah.
Dude, five, six, seven days straight of just throwing,
loading up a golf cart,
getting to the beach by noon,
getting off the beach at 8.30.
Oh, dude.
We saw some epic sunsets.
Sunsets out there are fucking nuts, dude.
Yeah.
Tom me to show me, like the cotton candy.
skies.
Unreal.
Sherbert,
dude.
Sherbert every night.
Yeah.
Dude, there was...
Thunderstorms last night
was fucking insane.
Two nights ago.
Yeah, yeah.
The one night,
we were out there
and it was like...
I was like nothing I've ever seen.
You call it Italian horror.
It was like an Italian,
like it felt like,
yeah.
It felt like it was like out of like eight and a half or something.
There was like fucking...
There was like a...
Someone had laid out like hanging Edison bulbs in
like a square with like...
like couches, right?
Because they were going to have like a party at night.
But it started thunderstorming.
So they all ditched. So it was just an
empty like lounge area in the middle of the
beach with lights that was like far off.
And the only people that stuck around were like three kids that were playing
glow in the dark botchy ball. That's so sick.
And they were just so you just see like orbs get like lobbed up.
And it was like it was like enough in the distance that you couldn't,
you could just see the orbs float and then drop and bounce.
And then there was.
a family looking for crabs
in the ocean with like headlamps
and so there's just like there's just
and you can't see their bodies. You just see
like light scanning the water. DeRosa's
stone key bumps. They're like
yeah yeah
bro
and then it was
it was a lightning storm but it wasn't close
enough that you could hear thunder or that
it was like affecting you it wasn't raining
but the whole sky was just lighting up
every once in a while and it was like
crazy dude it looked like
And the family was so far off that like it looked like four lighthouses like wandering around in the water.
Like because they would look up and the beam was so intense.
It could scan like deep into the water.
It was crazy.
Yeah.
They started to piss me off.
I was sitting there like not on mushrooms going like this is the craziest thing I've ever seen.
Yeah, I was sitting there not on cocaine too.
Dude, the first time I was just Shane and I was the fucking best.
Then it was Shane, me and DeRosa.
And I, you know, you always say,
I just take it easy the first couple of days.
It's just us, you know.
I had fucking 30 seltzers on the beach,
and I got Adjada for 24 hours.
I got fucking heartburned.
And I started, I started, like, gleaking and shit.
My glands were filled up.
Like a lizard?
I started, like, I'm watering.
And I was like, oh, I got puke.
This is like the day after, like day, day three, like 5 p.m.
I got to throw up.
I have to pull the trigger.
I got to get rid of this.
Adding DeRosa to that is like,
it reminds me the scene in like Oppenheimer
when they're like talking about like the fission bomb
and it's like it's kilotons.
And then Safty's like,
but what if we had it explode into itself
from making a fusion bomb?
Then we'd be measuring in megatons.
That's just DeRosa walking down the steps.
Stores.
DeRosa's showing up.
His weird
pigeon poop.
We've heard the reaction against itself.
Dude, it was like
6.30.
It's the most powerful bomb we've ever seen.
7 o'clock.
The sun's coming down.
It's just me, Shane, and DeRosa.
There's families, like, in the distance and whatnot.
And I just went, yeah.
All right.
And I just stood up through my phone on the, on the chair.
And I yacked.
like five feet away from him
and it was like Team America did
it was like Team America when he's like
in the alley I was like
I did eight times
it was like an impressive amount of fucking
water that was flown out of my nose
and every orifice on my face
just fucking howling at the sand
it's so funny and then it's like
DeRosa and Shane starting to pack up chairs
and Tommy just comes back because it feels so much better
I did
I did
Let's keep going.
I did.
I was like,
that's all I needed, dude.
All right.
Shane just tossed me one real good.
We're like,
we're back, dude.
Holy smokes.
That's all it is.
It's just, you know,
citric acid,
drinking these things all day on the beach.
It's too much acid.
McCusker had the right idea.
We started,
we started batching cocktails.
We would take an empty cold brew container.
or filled up with, you know,
tequila, soda,
some lime juice.
You bring that down there.
You start cupping that.
You solo cupping some mixed cocktails.
So funny.
That's what you do.
Yeah.
As an adult.
Yeah.
You bring some fucking cold hoagies
that we homemade.
Tommy,
Tommy never addressing the alcohol
is so funny.
He'll always,
you have, like, 18 cocktails.
You have, like, a burrito.
would be like this burrito he's not sitting there
I don't think they cook there right
it's like a dude living with ghosts
every morning he wakes up and all the cabinets are open
he's like I forgot to close those
he's like no dude
there's ghosts in the house
not the hoagie's fault
shouldn't have got the quack
yeah yeah the quack
the quack
the quack did me in
the block's making my tummy hurt
throwing up fucking bile
his blood keeps leaking out
out from the door is probably the
fucking carpenters suck
every night there was a fight
there's too many
there's too many guys
the epic battle
and Shane's a fucking energy vampire
so like if everyone's just having a good time
Shane'll just look around
just go who am I going to fucking prod
you know what I mean
who's getting the poke to the fucking chest
and they just start talking shit
were you guys swimming at all?
Oh all day everything
yeah you were in the water
yeah yeah yeah
We have water balls.
We had a fucking, you know, all the good stuff.
Dude, it's when everyone comes in from the beach, everyone's, everyone's on edge.
Send it.
When you transition from, like, after watching the sunset back into the house,
something about the air conditioning.
It's the, yeah.
That sounds like your alcohol.
I know.
Right on the AC.
Something about the temperature change.
It makes people just act.
I usually don't slap my friends.
I get a little moon to a werewolf, dude.
Tom.
Tom and McCusker made like a beautiful dinner one night.
And, like, I walk in and Tom's making the wild mushroom risotto.
And I go, oh, man, are you making the wild mushroom risotto?
And then he was like, yeah.
No, no, no, no, no.
Let's tell a hell of a story.
I go take a shower and I come down and Tom's still mad at me.
I was excited about it.
We thought I was talking shit.
Josh.
It was like
Three nights
Three of the seven nights
That's so funny
Three of the seven nights
When I tell you
They're all going like
He was like
Motherfucking me
After that
He was like
What
Yeah
I'm making the wild
motherfucking prick
Hold on
Dude
I was getting giddy
Hold on
But I was so hammered
I was like
Making wild mud
For you're getting closer
You're getting closer
You're getting closer
You're getting closer
No, dude.
I was excited.
You're getting closer.
Here's what happened.
Three nights I spent.
I'm going to see.
That's the fucking attitude.
At least three hours
curating wonderful
fucking meals. Otherwise, these fucking dogs
they eat like fucking
alley pics. It's
McDonald's. It's pizza in Florida
that's so bad.
No, that pizza was pretty good.
We were just drunk.
The shit was so, the fast food down there is so...
It pairs well with 40 beers.
So bad.
It's a good pairing.
So like the first time, we spent like, fucking, like 300 bucks in steaks.
You know, we're making, like, actual dinners.
So Matt and I, I got a fucking cooking playlist playing, you know, softly.
We're having a wonderful time.
These fucking animals are on the beach getting blacked out.
And I know they're going to come in like a swarm.
I just know it.
They're not going to respect what actually is going in the...
mouth. So I'm preparing myself
mentally for like...
The vocabulary is so funny.
But you see it's like the word choice.
He's built the narrative in his head.
We're watching a beautiful thunderstorm
being like, I hope they come down and see this.
Meanwhile, he's just over the stove going
he's fucking pricks. Here's what happened.
Of course, you hear the door.
Wild mushroom risotto.
Yeah, it is.
You fucking animal.
No.
You hear the door.
door and the door has a signal
and then you just hear the bell going
how you fucking was here buttoned
it's just like a slow
like a slow muffle
it's like thunder it hits before lightning
you hear before you see it before you see it
a couple giggles a couple cheers
and then they
Tom didn't have the right pecorino
and he had built himself for war
true I true
no I got
I got pecorino Romano
instead of Parmesan
that was a thorn in my ass
it changed the complexity
see in the flavor profiles of my risotto
I was not happy. He was like
say something about the cheese
he was like
he was ready
so then Chris of course
I knew
I knew
the closest to you are to somebody
that guy you know it's like
it's like a wife's voice
getting on your fucking nurse you know what I mean
there could be a pack of bitches
but your wife's voice you're like shut the
fuck up
so he comes
barrow around the corner he's got no shirt on
he goes, what are you making the most wild mushroom is a,
and I went, get out of my face.
Get out of my face.
And he was what?
What? Why, I was just saying wild mushroom reserve?
And Shane's like, yeah, get out of his face.
Shane's immediately trying to fight him.
And I'm just trying to, I'm trying to prep and get this thing out for the fucking pigs.
It was a great dinner.
The first dinner was the best dinner because there wasn't that many people.
Yeah, I wasn't there for me.
It's just like playing sports with, with, you know,
with guys that can play sports.
You know, I had McCusker until Chris showed up.
That's my fucking squad.
These are my pros.
These guys are,
they're staying in the bullpen for the whole week.
I know I can rely on these guys.
Then we got kids that aren't even,
they shouldn't even be playing high school ball.
And they want to play, right?
I'm not going to say names.
But they come in,
they fuck up the whole dynamic.
Because you start,
you start cooking with your boy, right?
We have two different balls.
One's like, I would say like minor leagues.
such a hard story.
I'm trying to
do you turn to
the
Tarantino movie.
What I'm saying
is you can't
you cook it
with your friends
right but they're not
throwing the balls right
yeah they're comics
I need more
everyone's getting some good
tosses in
I don't know
everyone was getting
some good tosses in
we were hucking the bee
we were hucking the bee
I haven't hucked to be in a long time
the bee was nice
what is that
Frisbee

Satisfying.

It was unbelievable.
Yeah.

I got to be a fucking award, Bob.
You got the B award by far.
I don't know.
This dude shows violence with the B.
He was like, I'll go against the win.
I was like, that's insane.
I was going against the wind.
I was running against the wind.
Yeah, the whole fucking weekend.
week yeah i was throwing the ball into the wind
well i showed up late i had the
freshest arm so i had to
you the relief
yeah yeah yeah yeah i had to go into the wind
Shane hat we're talking about fucking saran wrapping
and iceing our rigs
yeah yeah every night i should have fucking iced up
that would be nice there's no there's no relief
go get a massage in between
in between throws that would be
that would be such a funny
fucking thing if you were dead serious no just got
if it gets to a level where like
Like on the beach trip.
Ice in your on.
Shane literally hires like physio.
Like at the end of the night, we just, we just all load in drunk to the...
Ban workouts in the morning.
Yeah, yeah.
Ice and stim.
Sports massage.
God damn.
That was a fucking great week.
Now it's all over.
Then we get back to this dog shit.
You guys look great, though.
You guys both have a nice color.
Yeah.
It's a lot of work out there.
You know?
Yeah, yeah.
You eat and you drink like fucking animals,
but you're working out the whole fucking day.
You know,
it's six hours of cardio.

And there's good undertow.
That's a perfect undertow.
What do you mean?
In the water?
In the water, yeah.
No, my knee's shot.
You weren't there for the storm.
I know.
There was a tropical storm.
We couldn't go in the water for the first two days.
You had to go to your waist,
waste up.
Yeah, yeah.
So I just got shut.
the whole time. And I didn't pay attention to it
because I drank through it. And my fucking
meniscus is fucking bruised.
You know what you need.
Some joint mobilization
band workout. Yeah, yeah, you need band. I do need a band.
You need to band. You're going to get a band.
You're going to get a band. You're really poetic.
My brother just got fucking
or my father just got catarags.
Picked him up at the store.
You got a cataracts. You got a cataract surgery.
Oh, oh. Yeah. I'm just

Grow an inch.
To like 80.
Yeah.
I'm telling you.
You get away from the power lifting and you just go straight, stretching and, like,
joint strengthening.
Yeah.
Unstoppable.
And that only works if you pair it with weight training.
You got to lift heavy weights.
And then you do the stretch.
A little bit, a little bit, but.
I talk shit on my ex-girlfriend about yoga.
And she's like, come do one.
And I was a fucking mess, dude.
I couldn't touch, obviously, I can't touch my toes now,
but I'm obviously like shaking and swaying like a fucking pig.
Yep.
It's no joke.
No, it is.
Shout out to the yogis.
Yeah.
It's like that mind muscle connection thing that you never,
like you don't even know how to target that.
thing.
Yeah.
Like you're putting a position and then all of a sudden your your muscle contracts because you've
never contorted that way.
Yeah.
And then you can't hold it because your body's like, I've never once done this.
Dude.
I did a.
And then you're farting.
You're downward dog farting.
I did a gig for a video company.
What?
Just because you don't know how to control the muscles, you can't protect against farts.
No, you can't.
So they're constantly putting you in a position where you are accidentally going to fart.
100%.
And you don't even know.
they're like, okay, now sit into it.
You got to tell me that I'm at risk of sharding.
My toot regimen is precise.
Really?
Yeah, I only toot in the morning.
And it's after a couple of rollovers because I toss and turn.
The gas builds up all night.
Yeah, I get the bubble in one spot.
Yeah.
I to three, four times in the morning, that's it.
Yeah, yeah.
The morning blowouts.
Morning blowouts and outside of like a,
A bad burrito.
It is.
I'm not tooting.
Really?
No.
I don't overeat.
I gotta go no booze in order to...
The bubbles.
To prevent the toots.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Your ass a couple days ago.
Yeah.
They're not getting a security deposit back.
Well, I was...
You ruined that couch, bro.
Day one, I showed up.
Dude, I didn't sleep.
Like, then, like...
It's got nothing to do with your ass.
Well, let me tell you what.
happen. Tell us what you ate first. Well, that's what happened. Okay.
Start there. I'm talking about your sleep. I go, well, I, I, I didn't sleep going from Indianapolis
to Florida. I didn't sleep. I slept on a plane a little bit. Yeah. I, I know. I go, I, I land in,
I land in fucking Florida at like 9 a.m. I got at like a 4 a.m. flight. I had to connect, whatever. I land. I'm
looking to make something.
There's not a ton in the fridge.
They had already gorged.
And so I was like,
I made an egg and pepperoni sandwich.
It looked good.
Egg pepperoni cheese.
And, you know,
came home to roost.
And mid-afternoon,
I was throwing gas.
You know what you should have done.
You got to cook the pepperoni.
I did cook the pepperoni.
You did?
Yeah, but probably not enough.
Yeah, you got to cook it like bacon.
Yeah.
And then dry it off so it becomes crispy.
Hell on earth.
Dude, that used to be one of my go-to sandwiches after high school, after school in high school.
Really?
Yeah.
I would take the skinny slices of pepperoni, like the bag dog shit.
Yeah.
And I cook it like bacon, put them on a paper towel, dry them out.
White bread, slice of cheese, little mustard.
Crunchy pepperoni sandwich.
Yeah, you must have been.
Dynamite.
Yeah, yeah.
Blowing out my o'erring.
That's a young.
man's game.
It's a young man's game.
Well, I kept my brothers out of my room.
Only that, only like an 18-year-old's body can refine that into a smellless fart.
True.
It's a triple distilling liquor.
We don't have.
Yeah.
A young, a young buttholes like a breeder.
You got that charcoal filter, dude.
You can't.
But yeah, focusing on muscles is nuts, dude.
I did a gig for a video game company I can't talk about,
but you start to, I sat in this giant orb of like 85 or 86 cameras.
Yeah.
Like DSLRs.
And he had a button.
And I would just sit against this chair with my head very still.
and he would flip these pages to manipulate your face.
So he would go one eyebrow up and you'd hold.
And then he'd be like squint,
but just use your nose, not your eyes.
And then after a while,
you start figuring out all these little minute muscles in your face
you could manipulate after like...
It would take like 45 minutes.
I was in that chair for like three hours a day.
That's what like truly psychotic actors do, I feel like...
Yeah.
is do like fine face muscle workouts.
Yeah.
And you're just like, dude,
not worth it, bro.
Yeah.
Well, for, I mean, you're making a video game.
So, you're making a character.
It makes sense.
No, but I mean, it'd be like a thing if you went home and rehearsed.
Like if you're like, no, I have to practice.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Game tape.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You were just like.
A bunch of wallpaper guys.
Imagine instead of working out if you were just like sitting in front of a mirror going.
And you know they do that.
Yeah.
There's a bunch of theater kids.
Yeah, you used to forget that they are just theater kids.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like John Bernthal, I realized, I learned this.
I thought that he was some like blue collar like Midwest guy who like grew up in the street.
No, he went to like Gilman or something.
Yeah, like Harvard.
He went to Harvard.
His dad's like a lawyer.
Of course.
Brothers like some.
And you go like, I thought you were like a cool like rugged dude.
No, he's cool for them.
Yeah.
No, he like studied in Russia at like a private theater school.
No.
He's like, yeah.
He's like a heart.
Yeah, it's the tallest midget syndrome.
Yeah.
He's the, he's the, he's the, he's,
the coolest actor. He's so good at acting.
He's the most street actor.
Like, I get it. It works.
Yeah. He's so good.
Dude, that whole fucking, I just thought about this.
That whole job is pretty much
Nolan Void with AI.
Like, everything I worked for
five, six years ago now
that they haven't released
the new game is probably
they don't need it.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. So I read a story where like
the main character
in Red Dead Redemption
they only use, they only
used, I think, 70 or 80% of his likeness.
And, you know, they do the dots.
They put, like, marker dots on your face.
Like the big balls and stuff.
And they do that.
I got the mocap suit.
Yeah.
I ran through the fucking warehouse shooting.
It was amazing.
It was the best week of my life.
It was truly the best work I've ever done.
And now you don't need that at all.
Yeah.
So what they would do is they create these characters in their system and then use the
likeness of that guy for a bit.
And then they'll just go, we want his eyebrows.
different. They just eyebrows.
Yeah. And they do that now.
They don't need that actor anymore.
They don't need a face actor.
Face actor's gone.
So that fucking, that guy you were just
talking about practicing for years, he's got no job.
Yeah. You don't need them.
Yeah. With AI, you fucking, you just create
your own character every day. Who gives you shit?
I'm against, I'm against
using AI.
Like all around.
You're against AI?
I am against it for anything that's like not like critical.
Yeah, what?
Like war?
Yeah.
Yeah.
To like, you know, use it to solve big problems or something.
Don't like stop.
Don't let it make videos.
Yeah.
It should be illegal to have it make videos.
I'm having a hard time with the commercials.
Someone just passed a law.
I think Minnesota or something passed a law where it's like you can't make AI porn.
Yeah, that should be the standard.
Yeah.
Because you can get into weird.
Save the women.
Well, that was like the whole thing with this.
Save the homes.
Are we trying to save the girls?
It's like,
it's like Coney 2012, but it's like safe.
Yeah.
Yeah, you know how many, like,
we could save women from getting on crack
and getting their fucking backblasted.
At like 17,
lying about their age and then getting into
the streets.
Yeah.
There's always a count.
You're saying you're saying you want it or you don't want it.
No, I'm saying you could save some innocent girls
life.
Okay.
If you did AI.
If you did AI.
Right.
I think that if AI comes along
as good as you think it is.
There was like that whole thing like...
Do you remember?
Okay.
Only AI porn.
That's the only thing.
It's saving the women.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's a good argument.
Just nuke only fans have it all AI.
Yes.
Yeah.
That's the future.
You're not going to fucking tell.
Yeah.
You know?
Talk about catfish.
Everybody's getting catfish.
Make real porn illegal.
Make AI porn.
You're getting catfish in fucking commercials right now.
You don't even know it.
Joe,
uh,
I,
every time now,
like,
uh,
like I come across these like,
it's like someone building a garden,
but it's all AI.
Yeah.
Like,
it's a lot of making like underground like nice bunkers.
It's all AI.
It's just some guy like,
AI gets my mom on Facebook all the time.
Like she'll share those things where it's like,
this is a troop who got his,
he lost his leg overseas.
Share if you support the troops.
My mom's like my husband and my son both served in the United States.
Yeah.
He's $50.
Yeah, it's insane.
She gets caught in those a lot.
DeRosa and I watched Spotlight on Tubey.
Yeah, which is...
Insane.
Yeah.
Well, the Wi-Fi was down at the house.
So DeRosa's like, just put it.
He's like, just put it on YouTube.
That'll be like Spotlight 2.
Them arresting you guys for doing it.
Shane came in drunk.
He couldn't believe it.
He's like, you're watching fucking spot.
light on TV.
I never watched Tooby, right?
So Joe doesn't, Joe doesn't pay for YouTube TV.
He goes, just put on YouTube and search something.
And I'm like, like, what?
He's like, whatever you want?
Podcast, TV show.
And I'm like, you don't have YouTube TV?
He goes, no, I just use YouTube and Tooby.
That's crazy.
And I was like, you got to watch.
He goes, there's not that many commercials, dude.
He's like sticking up for it.
There's literally slots of six commercials every
30 seconds.
I'm going to say
legitimately 15 minutes.
Dude, that's so insane, man.
That's so insane.
Right? From him?
From him. This is a guy who like
drove to the fucking beach instead of
taking a flight. He drove
from Austin because he got
wrong information from Brian's six.
Yeah, yeah. He asked six
how to get to fucking Florida.
Yeah. And there's three airports
you can go to. Yeah. DeRosa told me he was driving.
He goes, it'll be great. We'll pack up a fucking cool.
cooler will have a good time. I'm like, I'm not
driving the fucking Florida. Luckily,
we went to Colorado with Shane for a private
kid. But he drove
because he didn't research. I was like, this is what you
doing. That's like a 15 hour drive. Yes.
I was like your whole life. He didn't look
it up. He didn't look it up.
It's two hours of flying.
It's two hours. And there's a direct.
There is a direct last night. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's
two and a half hours.
I thought you stopped in Atlanta.
No, I didn't direct.
Oh, so you were stuck at
Yeah, I was stuck at Panama City.
Panama City.
Yeah.
But yeah, dude,
yeah,
there's a direct flight.
This is a fucking direct flight.
So funny.
Shane, me and DeRosa
fought about this
for 48 hours
before everyone got there.
And he just kept going,
you're a fucking idiot.
He goes,
I'm not an idiot, dude.
I got the wrong information.
He's going fucking nuts
about the wrong information.
It's like,
how do you not just look it up?
You have the address.
Put the address
in Google flights or Delta.
You can see there's a direct
fucking flight.
Even if there's not a direct,
take a layover.
He goes,
I'm not taking a layover.
I'm past that.
I'm like, you're past the layover,
but you're going to drive 15 fucking hours?
Pass the layover,
but you're going to watch Spotlight with commercials?
Exactly.
Exactly.
It's eight layovers.
Exactly, dude.
Exactly.
It's unbelievable, dude.
And he goes, it was too late.
I couldn't, I'm not going to sit in the back of the plane.
I'm too tall.
He's sit too tall.
I go, lay at light.
And then we had a fight about whether he's 5, 11 or 6.
He said.
It's a lot.
I think I'm not going to sit in the back of a plane like a fucking chooch.
I'm like, who do you think you are?
Dude.
You could have got a first class ticket for how much gas you fucking spent.
Yeah.
30 hours of driving, you fucking idiot.
Dude, if you're, like, to me, like, he's the best.
If you're not boozing on the flight, I don't care what chair you're in.
Yeah.
There's zero point of first class in my opinion, if you're not boozing.
Yeah.
There's zero, like.
Yeah.
Or if you have a connection, because you're close to the front, you can, like, skedaddle.
But, like, dude, yeah, why not just fly regular?
Like, I don't know.
It's like with Delta, it's like still bored early.
I don't care.
I'm in the back.
Well, the seats are no different.
They're literally no different.
Yeah.
There's no different.
They just put a red tag on the back of the fucking seat.
And that means you can get a couple of drinks.
And they don't even come around for drinks unless it's a six-hour flight.
They come around twice.
Yeah.
I got to go take a piss and go, can I get another.
fucking wine?
Yeah.
I have to ask them and they're just all on their phone playing fucking, you know?
Yeah.
It's nuts.
Playing only fans.
They're all sky pigs.
Sky pigs.
I would like, yeah, they should have like selections on the, you know, like they do.
They don't even have screens anymore though.
No, I know.
But they should have a thing where it's like, you know, like in Uber, you can be like,
I don't want to talk or whatever.
Yeah.
It's like, it should be like.
Every 30 minutes.
You do the Matthew McConaughey thing from Wolfel Wall Street.
I want you to come by.
I want you to bring me two drinks and then another two after that.
And every 30 minutes.
Until it would pass out.
Dude,
I agree with this.
I know it's fucking cheesy,
but I do it.
I give them $20 right off the top.
Dude.
And it works like a gym.
My buddy,
my buddy,
Jack.
I know.
Dude,
I've been doing it.
I've been doing it to last like 10 flights and it's remarkable.
They literally pop up.
They're like,
I'm like,
yeah.
Like they look just for you.
$20.
That's it.
That's all it takes to get fucking attention.
But I haven't been,
I haven't been,
booze and on flights.
Yeah, you've been real interesting.
I'm just saying, I haven't been doing it.
So I like, all of a sudden, I'm just like, what?
Yeah, why are they around?
It's like, who gives a fuck down here, dude?
Well, you just get Maine, you get upgraded because of the way, the amount we fly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
My buddy will go on board last and then he'll, that I cannot.
He'll bring $50 and see if there's a first class spot open and he'll try to hit hand the girl $50.
I've heard this before, too.
And it's like, it's like it's the 30s again.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That will work.
It does work.
Does it?
Yeah.
Well, it's not, no one's sitting there.
Yeah.
They just go, they look around.
So you just, you just kind of, you give them like the fucking palm.
It's very funny.
You give them like an old school palm.
Yeah.
It feels very.
Like, oh, thank you so much, dude.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Go sit there.
Yeah.
But you should be able to select, wake me up for snacks and drinks.
Yeah.
If I'm sleeping.
Do not wake me up if my seat is reclined.
Yeah.
I love this story.
You getting fucking.
Doing the wrong.
thing, by the way, and getting
made of them. I know
what you're going to say. I can't stand
it. The seat has to come up
during takeoff
and landing. And you're reclined
and conked out and they have to go
excuse me, sir, excuse me, and you
go, I've gotten
pretty aggressive with my seat
reclining. As soon as they buckle into the jump seat,
clap. Yeah.
I dare you to get up. I
dare you to get up.
They can't.
Once the captain says,
I'll sit down,
Skypink.
I know.
Once we turn,
once we turn on to the runway,
take off,
I'm back, brother.
Once those piggies lock in to the
power shoot.
I, dude,
I,
at this point,
like,
look,
I don't have a doctor's note.
But I got a medical condition.
I cannot sit upright.
Yeah.
You got to get a service dog.
It's ridiculous.
No,
no, no.
You got to sit up right.
like this until
we get to 30,000 feet.
It's like, no, I don't.
No, I don't.
You got to say that right angle.
You don't crash the plane.
How about that?
The only reason this would ever be an issue
is if you crash.
What they should do is start.
So be extra careful. Every seat should start
recline to the person behind you is prepared
for where they start. Oh, dude.
And then if you want to bring it up, you bring it up.
Look, if you got the blue chew rolling, you're going to
want a bed.
You want to get a
bed to do it in.

reached over and turned my knob off.
And I turned it back on and I opened his up.
Yeah, yeah.
What are you doing?
Hose.
Yeah.
We took turns because I was nodding off and then he would
And then he would come to and switch him
And then I would switch him
And then I was he trying to
He was trying to close to choose
Yeah, he was trying to close mine
And then every time he was a little breezy
Yeah I was being
Right in his fucking open mouth
You got to give that cock sucker
That's a great line
Dude
Someone turned your nozzle off
And you go what is a little breezy
Can't handle a little breeze
I can't bring out a wind
I will bring a late
laser pointer to see where that thing is flowing.
Yeah, yeah. That's going in
your dice. Blow some vape smoke
and light it out.
A little wind tunnel.
Yeah.
Chris openly vaping
hammered on a flight is the funniest
fucking thing in the world.
He gives me.
He does this. He does this.
No. Yeah, yeah. You've seen that.
Talks.
Dude, when he hits like a second double whiskey,
he literally will just go like this.
He'll be watching something.
He'll just go.
And I'll go, Chris.
put it down
I go
What?
I go put the fucking
vape down
What the fuck
You're gonna lose your delta credits
Truly gives me
Like
asshole tightening anxiety
Yeah
Yeah
Like it means the world to me

They are always very sweet about that
They just say
Sir you can't do that
You can't
Yeah
Really?
Yeah they go
Come on man
I got nipped in the butt
Fucking
Because they all vape
yeah they probably just you know they understand the struggle yeah yeah yeah they go come on
yeah yeah i did the sensor went off in the in the bathroom for me once not not too long ago i talked
about it yeah yeah it was probably yeah what was everyone was coming out of your butt and then i
hit it in my sock and the girl was right there as soon as i opened the door she's like are you
smoking or vaping and i went no the fucking thing just went off yeah it's crazy i don't even vase
i just smell like strawberry mango yeah yeah it smells like water
paper.
You need a lot of fruit.
Yeah.
It's my age.
A couple of sighties.
God.
Oh, man.
But yeah.
So here we are.
We're back,
babe.
What do you say?
What do you do?
Yeah, I haven't seen both of you since I got back from Iowa.
It's been two weeks.
It has been.
Three.
Dude, this was, when I was in Iowa, there was 25 days.
The, uh, my dad picks me up.
My dad takes me to.
You ever met his father?
No.
He's a fucking legend.
dude.
I know.
Unreal.
I've heard tell.
We go in, it's,
he wakes me up.
Like an extra in that fucking,
I know,
I saw pictures of him.
Like that Robin Hood movie
we just saw.
The death of Robinhood?
His father could be in that movie.
My,
my dad wakes me up
on the last day that we were there
in Iowa.
And he goes,
hey,
we're going to Swelldo,
which is like where he's from.
It's like a town
that has like 200 people.
Sweldo?
Rockwell,
Sweldo.
Oh my God.
And it's like,
it's a total guy.
It's deserted now.
Everything is shut down.
there's like a single gas station and we're driving around and he stops and he grabs flowers.
And we go to my grandma's tombstone and there's like a cemetery and there's only like 40 graves because it's such a small town.
Jesus.
And this like this like tree is like blocking.
It's like it's like casting a shadow over the whole everybody's gravestone other than the break in the tree.
And there's like light shining down right on my grandma's tombstone and my dad like plates these flowers on it.
And I'm like kind of like watching from the car like soak in this moment.
It's kind of like this beautiful thing.
I started crying.
I'm like,
watching my dad reflect on.
And then he opens the door and he goes,
I fingered Pam Clark at that tree in seventh grade.
I thought that he was having some existential thing that he was witnessing.
Because I was like,
it's beautiful.
The trees are breaking and there's a ray of sunshine on my grandma's tune.
So I'm thinking that.
He walks in and he's just like,
I made her squirt right there.
in seventh grade
Pam Clark
Then I went
Why did you finger
In the graveyard
He goes
I didn't know
Where else to take her
Yeah
Oh my god
Meter squirt
That's what he said
Oh my
Your father's
I thought that was
Poetic license
No no no no
He actually said that
Oh my dad's a pig
Dude my dad will say
Crazy
You father talks to you like that
Yeah
Meers
He said I made Pam Clark
Squirt
He said
Against
I swear to God
I swear to God
I swear to
If you knew him
He'll do crazy shit
He doesn't care anymore.
He'll like, I mean, I've told you that story of him like hitting on a lady at a gas station when he was walking out.
When I was there, he opened the, uh, she's walking by this girl.
He goes, you drop something missed.
She turns around and he goes, you smile.
And then he winked at her.
Yeah.
I'm like, that's fucking insane.
And he goes, girls like when you do that type of shit.
And I'm like, you're out of your mind.
Yeah, no, they don't.
Dude.
You're out of your mind.
He got in, he gets, he might be right.
Maybe they do.
I don't know.
He just has the confidence of a, he has the confidence of a guy who's like, fucking.
I am.
Like a suzze.
guy. Yeah, yeah. I am kind of like jealous. I don't jealous is the right word, but I do like an old guy
that's so definitely not going to fuck you. Right. Just openly hitting on. Yeah. You know what I mean?
Like there is a beauty. Yeah. They act like that. They don't like they don't have a penis. Yeah. It's like when an
old lady hits on you. You're like this is nice. You know what I mean? She's not actually like being like maybe
We can fly.
It's the vessel.
It's the vessel delivering the message because my dad doing it's not.
I don't think it's, I don't think it's flattering.
I think it's scary.
If that's like you dropped your wallet, I can make you squirt.
Yeah, yeah.
I can make you feel things.
She's like, what does that even mean?
Dr. Pam.
Talk to Pam Clark.
Yeah, he's out of his mind.
She's next to your grandma.
Is she dead too?
I didn't even know.
I didn't even ask.
I should ask.
He probably put the flowers on Pam Clark's.
I think it's the whole time.
I thought it was my grandma's tombstone.
I go over to the tombstone.
It says Pam Clark.
Squared it to death.
1998.
I will say, dude.
She died of her.
My first murder.
Making a girl squirt in seventh grade would be a life altering.
Yeah.
That's like,
Butterfly a fish.
Yeah.
It was the 70s.
That's what he always says.
It was the 70s.
Yeah, but still it's like,
it's like, you got to build up to, you can't,
you got to build up to a squirt.
Yeah.
You can't.
Yeah.
Someone's squirting in seventh grade.
You're like, it's an irrecoverable tailspin of sexual deviance.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, you're chasing the dragon.
It's like someone doing heroin in seventh grade.
Yeah.
Then you're just ruining cervixes all over the fucking country.
Yeah.
Trying to make everyone.
Yeah.
Trying to get Pam Clark under the tree back for the rest of your life.
You know, that's why he's hitting on people in the gas stations in 90 years.
It's just, just Pam Clark.
That's, so I get it.
I get why he was like,
yeah,
he had like a thousand yards stare
just being like,
man,
if that didn't happen to me,
who knows what I could have done.
It's etched in time.
Right.
You don't forget your first skirt,
bro.
Yeah,
yeah.
That's him blown his knee.
I could have went pro.
Yeah,
yeah.
You had a healthy relationship with six.
He could have a,
yeah,
he could be like,
yeah,
he could own like a financial services company
and just be like on a yacht
if Pam Clark didn't squirt
all over the place in seventh grade.
What's the most,
what's the most disgusting thing
your father's ever said besides that.
It's for the pod.
I'm not horny.
I'm not going to call him if you keep it.
There's some bang.
Say it's slow.
Flip it in the waistband.
There's a couple ones that get me.
I think there was one time he showed me a photo of my mom when they first started dating.
He was like, she's always had the nicest set of tits.
Oh my God.
And I was like, what do you want me to say, dude?
Oh my God.
I can't go.
I can't.
and that. You know, I can't be like, because my mom, I'm not going to be like, no. I'm also not going to
bully my mom. Like, you know, it's an impossible situation. I can't agree. And I can't be like,
no, she, Cheryl? You think Cheryl's got hogs? Good for him if he still feels that way.
Yeah. That's true love. You were sucking on him for a while. Yeah, I was like, yeah, I used to
suck on him. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So is he telling the truth or not. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
It's like, I don't have any specific memories from that time, but there is a vague sense of happiness.
other ones
general sense of pleasure
can I see a pick of your mom
you met my mom
I know but yeah
he is out of his mind
I don't know I just think that that happens with men
well that's enough those two are enough
I mean I get the gist
he'll always do that thing too like
I don't know if this is a dad thing but like
anytime we're driving together
whatever you're about to say I guarantee it's not
it's not he'll be walking there'll be like a group of people
like a group of ladies walking or something
he'll be there's some for it
you. And then he'll just always like honk at him and make and then he'll slow down. And I'm just like, I'm like 30.
Yeah. And he's like still doing what he used to do when I was like 15. There's something for you.
There's something for you. Honks and makes them look at me. And I'm like, I'm married. I'm a married. I'm a married. I'm a married adult.
I know my dad's a dog, but he never like was vocal about it unless like like a like a golf cart girl like on the course.
If she's hot, he'll be like, yeah, she's, he's all right. I don't. I'll just be like that one's all right. Like it'll never be like vulgar. He'll never. He'll never. He never. He never. He
dips into the details that would make you well you shouldn't you shouldn't right right exactly you
shouldn't do that you should i mean i will but if course yeah yeah yeah my dad my dad stanchly against
that oh of course staunchly against i've never seen your dad not in a collared shirt
the dude's always buttoned up for work yeah every time i see him like you're working he's
no day off he's always like he's always so proper yeah yeah he's he's always he's always he's
His shirt's always like perfectly dry clean.
He selected, he selected his, a final uniform.
He's the final boss of accountants.
That guy is like always ready to go.
My dad and baseball got told to put his shirt back on in the stance when I was in like eighth grade.
I remember that remote.
I have a vivid memory of them being like, you can't have your shirt off in the eighth grade baseball.
Oh, he's from Sewell.
What's it called?
Rockwell.
Rockwell, Sweldale.
Swellville.
The rebels.
The rebels.
the Swelldel rebels.
Good Lord.
I like that.
There's probably no more disgusting feeling
on earth
than being told
to put your shirt back down.
At like a summer baseball game.
Like,
yeah,
that's nuts.
Like,
there's kids around.
Yeah.
Put that away.
Was he drinking?
Yeah,
of course.
Yeah,
of course.
He used to keep shooters
with him.
And little shooters.
He was just to shoot.
He would rip shooters a lot.
Back when he was drinking.
Like a six-pack?
Not like those little, like he used to get those fireball shooters.
No, I know what he used.
Oh, yeah, yeah, no, but I'm saying.
How many would he take?
Oh, I don't know.
He would just keep him in his, like, socks.
Well, fireballs knew.
So what was his choice back then?
I don't know.
I really don't know.
Seagrams?
I know he was a big, yeah, he was a big brandy guy,
Blackberry Brandy.
Yeah, the Yaqueen's.
Yeah, the Ya Queens brandy.
He used to rip that old Milwaukee.
My father liked that stuff too.
It's disgusting.
That's what I used to show up to parties with.
Because, you know, you'd bring, when you're, like, young, you'd bring what your parents had around.
30-proof coughs are.
Yeah.
Yeah, I would show up with, with walking.
Blackberry, Brandy, and divorce papers.
I mean, like, we fucking get down or what?
Also, it's like $7 a bottle.
Yeah.
It's awful.
Yeah.
They don't enjoy it.
They enjoy the price tag.
Yeah.
It's also, that is like, you're dying to get in trouble.
Yeah.
Shooters.
It's like, just get one bottle.
Yeah.
You know?
I don't know.
I like the shooter.
No, shooters are kind of nice.
Dude, come on.
Do you remember sneaking shooters into a Notre Dame game?
Shooters turn into like a rattlesnake tail when you're done with it.
You know what I mean?
Is there any way my booze can clang around when I'm done with it?
I want to alert it.
Shane took us to my first Notre Dame game that Shane took me to.
Oh, yeah.
I didn't know college football you don't drink.
So I was devastated.
Yeah, it was just a couple years ago.
They didn't sell booze in the stadium.
I couldn't believe.
we're going to watch two whole
halves of football without drinking
was horrendous. It was terrible.
Yeah. So then we started fucking
taping shooters to our
thighs and shit. Like a suicide
bastard. It's where to get. Gotta give
give it up. Got to give it up to the
bussing with the boys. Because
they went out and they bought like
a pallet of shooters.
Yeah. It looked like fireworks, dude.
We were walking to the stadium
strapped. It was full
like, it was the Matrix.
You know what I mean?
It was truly a school shooter like having a limp with a shotgun.
You got two guys stacked on top of each other in a trench coat.
It was nuts.
It's just all fireball boxes.
No, I'm seven foot two.
Yeah.
Taylor and fucking Will brought the heat.
Yeah, they sent a producer.
They were like many bottles.
It was so bad to the point where we kept going, it was like drug addicts.
We were just yelling each other going, you got one more in there.
Yeah, yeah, you know, you took, you got too many.
You had too many.
Give me one more.
It's like, oh, I have any fucking chewers left.
And you go in the bathroom.
Did she do his rule.
It was, yeah.
It was like lost on an island kind of shit.
We were like, we all get, we can have two a quarter.
You've already had two.
Two are.
That's what it was.
So funny.
You already had two.
Give me a fucking third.
I'm an adult.
You know what I like about
You can't do it in Texas
But I like in Iowa
There's like they can sell liquor at gas stations
And shit so they just are like
Next to the gum
Yeah, the shooters are just next to the
Yeah
Oh yeah if you want that too at the last moment
Yeah
Chapstick
Chapstick shooters
Lottery tickets
DUI
DUI yeah
Yeah drywall
Packing patchwork
Number for a guy who does patchwork
For dry walls

He's having a good time.
Dude, he's having a blast.
He's having a good time.
He was having a good time to way like, like,
fucking, our Kardashian knows like a sex tape's gonna like launch his career.
Yeah, yeah.
Her career.
Like, the guy was acting like, this is good for him.
I just saw someone made like a little mashup of like,
they were like, you had any head injuries?
And he was like.
He just laughed.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He was just fondly.
It was your dad thinking about Pam Clark.
Ray Lewis made me squirting.
In the NFC championship game.
His reaction was like, it was kind of like,
he reacted like it was kind of cute.
She didn't know who he was.
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
He's like, I don't want to be a dick here,
but like, I was a professional quarterback for 40 years, dude.
I had injuries, dude.
Have you seen that video of Adrian Peterson getting interviewed about, like, the gas prices when they had no idea who he was?
No.
So funny.
Oh, yes.
So funny.
I mean, this is like the year that he rushed for like that he broke all the records.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And they're like interviewing him about like, now what do you think about the gas price?
He's like, I think it's too high.
He's just fucking with a back.
Or there's one, another one that makes me laugh really bad.
It's always too high.
There's another one that's really funny, which is somebody.
accidentally, they didn't know it, they ran into Tim
Heidecker on the street and they were doing like a street interview
thing for the news. Have you seen that ever?
So funny. He starts talking about bottling up and drinking
his own piss. And it's like
National TV and his wife. And his wife is like trying
to pull him away the whole time. Tim's wife's like no, we have to leave me
a thing. No, no, there's a piss problem. There's a piss problem here.
It's so goddamn funny, dude.
That's like, dude, that's accidentally
stepping on a landmine. It's like doing a street interview and running into
Tim Heidecker. You're like, what the
And thinking, like, you walked away with the best interview ever.
Like, I can't believe we ran into that guy.
Yeah, that guy was crazy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just getting disturbed.
You got pranked.
Yeah, you got pranked.
Do you do pranks growing up?
I can't imagine you doing pranks, Tommy.
Yeah.
I can't imagine trying to prank you either.
I don't even think you would like a surprise party.
No.
Who likes a surprise?
I feel like, if everybody jumped out and be like, surprise,
you probably punch somebody.
on act.
This reflexes.
Nobody likes a surprise party.
Don't do that to anybody.
Ever.
That's actually a good point.
Ever.
Like, especially an older man.
Like, nobody likes that shit.
They go, oh,
thank you.
Jesus, Christ, this is embarrassing.
Now I've got to spend the next three hours
saying thank you for coming.
Like, don't put that fucking pressure on anybody.
They don't fucking care.
Celebrate their life and give them the heads up.
And let him decide
who's going to be at the fucking place.
You know, it's like a fucking wedding.
You can have a good surprise party.
There are, there's, it's a delicate thing.
It is a dance.
Yeah, you can, every once in a while.
Every once in a while.
Actually, Matt's was wonderful.
Yeah.
But.
But that was curated by his wife appropriately and correctly.
I feel like I was in too much actual trouble to ever think about doing pranks.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because I was like a sweet boy with good grades and shit, I would be like,
oh, pranks and people.
But I was always like
skating.
Trying to think.
Pranks.
You're like,
I don't need to take any other,
like I have real risks I'm taking.
Yeah.
No,
it was like throwing rocks,
eggs,
BB guns.
Yeah.
It wasn't like pranks.
It was like violence.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The only prank I ever did was a,
when I was a kid in like the fucking,
like in the 80s,
you could buy that,
like from like Spencer's gifts.
There's that little sticky thing
you put on a dollar
and you'd hold it
on the boardwalk and someone to go
to pick it up and you'd zip it back.
That was like sixth grade.
That is nice though.
That was great.
That's awesome.
Down the shore.
That was like the only thing I can think of.
That poop dollar great.
Poop box.
Yeah.
A poop bug will get you, dude.
But no.
That would like coke would be funny.
Like a poop bump.
Yeah.
You just ask some.
I think pranks is it depends on like where you're from.
Like you know what I mean?
Like what's the prank calling?
What's the fear?
Oh, prank called.
That was.
We did a little bit of that.
Yeah.
I did a ton of that.
Yeah.
Like before jerky boys and then jerky boys fucking.
What's jerky boys?
The jerky boys?
You don't know the jerky boys?
You've never heard of the jerky boys.
Oh my God.
They're fucking legends.
So good.
That's like the Tom Brady of fucking prank calls.
Oh, are they the ones that had the Comedy Central show, the crank anchors?
No.
That was different.
They had these old tapes.
They walked so the crank anchors could run it.
Crank Acres was crazy, too.
They remember special Ned?
Yeah.
They would just call me,
Da,
Dad,
Dad!
Give him seven seasons.
Oh,
as long as it's the puppet,
who gives a shit.
But no,
so what these guys would like release.
Yeah,
there's like,
there's so many good ones.
I loved as a kid was fucking this guy
who he was like,
he called a place and he's like,
yeah,
is this duck cleaning?
And they're like,
yeah,
he's like,
yeah,
bag me a couple ducks.
And I don't know how to clean them.
And they're like,
no no it's it's sir
it's air ducts we clean the air ducts
he's like yeah it was flying through the air
dude
it's so fucking funny
you know Drew Montana
he's got a fucking prank phone call show too
that's really funny
he's got a podcast there's one that he
I just watched it the other day that was making
they do it like live they do yeah and it makes me laugh
there's one that he was doing where
he calls like an apartment complex
and he's like, hey, the device that's in the room is like acting up.
And she's like, yeah, I don't know what to do.
I like, this device is just like acting up.
But she's like, what device are you talking about?
Can you come to the front desk?
He goes, I'm not leaving this thing unattended.
This device is acting up.
And she's getting so concerned.
She's like, what are you talking about?
What room number are you?
And he's like, I don't know.
I'm just here with my friend.
He's gone.
He left me here with this thing.
It's so God.
I need help.
I need, yeah, so funny.
Damn.
We used to do this one.
this is like not even like
I think back to it
and it's like not even particularly funny
just like crazy we used to do
we used to take
because you know
it's being in a small town
there's like family namesakes
that are like through the general
like you know people who like
there's tons of people who have the last name true
in my hometown or people who have like
Sturges is like a big last name
we used to go and grab yearbooks
from like the library
and find like people who had graduated
first like class of 86 or whatever
We would find their names and like the names that everybody knows in the city.
And we would call and be like, hey, is this Derek?
Hey, man, it's fucking Joe.
It's Joe Flanagan.
And then you just have a conversation as if you're reconnecting with the person.
So we would take two random names and they would think that they were connecting with this guy.
And we would just give them like a crazy backstory.
Yeah, it was all good.
And then I lost the egg.
You know, I lost my leg in the farm accident.
And it's like, you lost a leg?
And then we just hang up.
So there's like guys out there that are like,
like yeah, talk to Terry Smith last week.
He lost a leg in his wife as AIDS.
Just the dumb.
It's like not really funny in hindsight.
Just like really weird we used to do it in middle school or high school.
Dude.
There was, it was so easy to like, yeah.
If you like prank called the same house a bunch of times, that kid would get in trouble.
Like it's, it was so crazy how like, psycho.
parents were back then they weren't like
there was no even thought
of like this is the other kid should be
in trouble like what the fuck
are they doing it was just like
I feel like parents would be like
are you a loser
why the fuck are we getting
brain called
you can get in like
real trouble for being such a dork
yeah I told you the kid shouldn't be in theater
Diane
I told you I wanted to put him in football
you said no he has to play the trumpet
