Starting point is 00:00:00 all right guys welcome sorry broadcasting from an undisclosed location thanks for having me yeah um sorry also to the fans for taking so long to get this pot out thank you for your patience yeah on the behalf of uh of a fan yeah but yeah thanks thanks for the thanks for blindfolding me to take me here and not beating the shit at me I had a blindfold on. It is wild. I feel like it's been a little bit since I've podcasted.
Starting point is 00:00:35 I feel like I've forgotten how to do it. Has it been months? No, but it's been a couple weeks. Yeah, yeah. And the rust accumulates so fast. I know. But eventually, you find yourself locked in a room
Starting point is 00:00:48 saying the N-word. I got to get out there in podcasts. I think you guys might need to snuggle into me a little bit. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. We might need it. Oh, dude, yeah, this is.
Starting point is 00:01:01 We moved from the casting couch to fucking just three guys. This is a border. Yeah, three guys are not getting their deal. I think as long as you're right on that edge, you're fine. I think so. Maybe I'll take, hold on, I'll take a look. All right. I do want to acknowledge, though, that originally he wanted to do this last night.
Starting point is 00:01:20 And I do want to say, Chris, that I did say yes, I would do it, even though there was a Phillies elimination playoff game and an Eagles Division game. And if you didn't have a Netflix show, I would have been like, get fuck, you fucking loser, dude. Lose my number. Are you out of your fucking mind? Well, yeah, it was, it was, I had to cancel anyway.
Starting point is 00:01:43 I lied to Tommy that I, that we were doing it. Well, thank you for cancel. I know. I know. But I had to cancel because I didn't have the right gear. I kept getting stuff and then realizing I didn't have the right stuff. That was a better. That was like a three-day process of just trying to figure out the equipment.
Starting point is 00:01:59 Yeah, well, my girl has a little, like, we work kind of space. And I was like, they have all the stuff. Yeah, let me just unplug this shit for a minute and bring it around the corner. Yeah, but then I went in there, like, two days ago, and they didn't have, someone had taken all of it. Oh, God. Yeah. Podcasting has become a podcast.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. just taking every single piece of it but they still had a few things left and then i kept like going and getting the pieces i thought i needed and then they didn't work like all the like they had microphones and then i plugged them in they didn't work i was just like all right
Starting point is 00:02:38 well fuck shit it is funny to to like rent um like co-working space and it's like what's your business it's like i podcast yeah but a loud podcast with three other loud guys they did a nice job with the podcast room it's like double sealed it's like oh it's for like actually it's actually for podcast oh yeah that's awesome there's like a green screen and stuff but damn that's cool but the equipment has deteriorated the equipment the equipment is gone and uh and yeah with little pieces they had left i was like oh i can make this work and then i couldn't make it work and then uh last night i was really tired and also didn't have a card reader and i was like I'm going to tell Tommy
Starting point is 00:03:25 I'm doing the podcast and do it tomorrow and then you walked in and were like yo man I fucked you but it's not your fault yeah I didn't mean to do that it's not your fault
Starting point is 00:03:38 I couldn't realize what he was trying to get out of me yeah it was one of those things where I was like this will be fine we'll get it tomorrow it's not it's not that big of a difference people can wait
Starting point is 00:03:53 wait another 24 hours. It's true. I couldn't tell a second. I couldn't call you and be like, hey, if Tommy asks, we're currently podcasting. So don't, don't text him any live reactions to the Eagles or Phillies game. I should have been like, bro, it's the 11th fucking inning right now. And you're texting me, are you podding? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:16 He texted me too. And I was like, yep. He doubled on me. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he wanted to confirm. He wanted to confirm. He's smart. He's good move, yeah, he got me.
Starting point is 00:04:30 He got me dead to rights. Yeah. I didn't even do anything fun for the game last night. I just sat at home and watched everybody lose. Same. I didn't drink a few beers, though. That was rare thing that I do at home watching sports. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:48 And I was like, is Philly's. I didn't crack one until, like, the fourth inning. and then I cracked a fifth one at like 1.30 in the morning. And I was like, man, this is living in it. Yeah, it was brutal night. Games are over. Time to relax. It was a brutal night in Philadelphia sports. I kind of, yeah, kind of sitting alone at home to watch it.
Starting point is 00:05:10 For games like that, it feels kind of right. You know what I mean? Where it's like I'm, you know, getting ready to go kill someone. I'll just watch this on loop until I have to. And I had... I kept trying to, like, juice myself up. I kept being like, I was, like, having a bad attitude. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:05:34 I was, like, tired and on the couch and lying to my friends. And it's just going, like, the Phillies are going to fucking lose. They're going to lose this fucking game. And then I would, like, go to the kitchen and be like, no, man, that's, come on. Put some good energy out there. Like, yeah, yeah. Yeah, don't be like the rest of these fucking Philly fans shitheads, dude. Every fucking season, it's like we're doing pretty well.
Starting point is 00:05:58 We won 96 games or something right there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're winning 90 plus games. This is the second best record in the league, I think? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, behind the Brewers. And I don't know. I watched 100 games this year.
Starting point is 00:06:11 I'll watch 100 games next year, and I'm going to be happy while I do it. Yeah, I'm convinced, like, the buy, getting a first round buy in the MLB playoffs is it's been the curse since they've made that format yeah yeah because it's you stop playing the Phillies did a scrimmage yeah right they did an intra-squad scrimmage it's like that that's gonna kill your team yeah it was in my opinion yeah i think 30,000 people went to the inter squad scrimmage as well wow which is i would like to unbelievable yeah I mean, it is like, it's like, I'll just, I can get drunk at this. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:06:55 It's like, I'll go to that. I think it was only $10. That means I can have 10 more beers. And it's like a, as a scrimmage, it's a picnic. It's like, it's like exactly the opposite of playoff energy that you want to have. It's like, everyone in the stands is like, we did it. We're so good. They're partying.
Starting point is 00:07:13 They're celebrating. They're making jokes. The team's probably laughing and scratching. Dude, now you're right That's, yeah Scrimmage Yeah, just picking your butt And making jokes, dude
Starting point is 00:07:23 That's, that's No, yeah Scrimmage Concession stands Are only selling Black coffee We need to, yeah,
Starting point is 00:07:31 it's hard nose You need to get ready for the I don't know Yeah, it should be The field should be lit By like F-150s Yeah
Starting point is 00:07:40 Just When the sun's going down You should be like An urgency to get moving We don't have enough gas To fucking fill these F-150s and keep the lights lit That much longer
Starting point is 00:07:53 Oh man Yeah well it's an interesting thing to try I mean I don't know what else you do during that Off week when you're not in the wild card race Or in the wild card uh series I feel like it's You can't play a college team You can't play a fucking
Starting point is 00:08:11 I know They should bring me up They should put me on first against Bryce's team They should. Yeah, they should scrimmage another team. They should scrimmage like the Mets. Yeah, it's like... That's what they should do.
Starting point is 00:08:24 We'll give you guys all like a few more $1,000. It's like, do you want to play baseball again? I do. I don't, like, whenever I'm watching the game and I think about any of those guys just having like $600 million. And everyone like, like, everyone's like holding their hat and like pressurized. It's like, could you imagine being. that guy, being like, you're telling me if I get it out here, I get to go on vacation with my $700 million a month earlier than that.
Starting point is 00:08:56 Yeah, I guess that's true. Or I can spend the next three weeks having people talk shit about me, even though we're doing good. Actually, yeah, it's a good point. It'd be funny if they were just lying to every baseball player. It's like, yeah, you make hundreds of millions of dollars. They're like, oh, awesome. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:12 All right. And it's like, yeah, just go play baseball. Yeah, we'll give it to you in 40 years. get it in 20 years. Yeah. Just go play. It's a deferred package. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:20 And then the fucking Dodgers filed bankruptcy right before Otani's, the rest of his money is due. They just fold as an organization so they don't have to pay half a billion dollar. Wait, what's the fucking chicken place in Los Angeles? They buy it. Zanku. It's like the Zanku chicken Dodgers. They like buy it. They're out of bankruptcy.
Starting point is 00:09:46 It's like a promo. It does feel like we're slowly on the way to that being a thing. Like instead of it being Los Angeles, it's just like the Google Dodgers. Yeah, I fully agree. Yeah. Crypto.com. Now that they got advertisements on the uniform in baseball, I think. Sooner and later.
Starting point is 00:10:08 They're on the way down now. They've reached the peak. It's kind of ironic that America of all places has held firm for so long on the ads on jerseys that's true it's like yeah it's like soccer teams like have been been sponsored by like bimbo bread or whatever yes i've been for decades i've always known it yeah and i've always found it strange but that is a good yeah it's very un-European and very american that's why it's so hard to find out what team a team is you're like who are the fly emirates dude it's the fucking emirates yeah i swear they were jeep trucks last
Starting point is 00:10:46 year but it's the same jersey yeah it feels like the most uh you're right it does it's like fucking turn it on make these guys more money they were doing all that stuff they were doing all the game i remember watching soccer forever ago and they would have like the 1 888 bet thing oh wow just that was all the ads for the game and in the stadium were just gambling companies and you had to text them to do it you had to text a betty i have no idea but it was all gambling and i just remember people always being like yeah that's their very like left wing over there and it's like what i don't think so it doesn't seem like it seems like that it's like a total corporate yeah yeah i guess it's like the easiest way to i don't know how it works
Starting point is 00:11:38 make money i think they were making tons and tons and tons of money yeah i think it's like blue Laws still like that you can only like I think I think even here in Philly like all the There's like a lot of like beer Distributes oh yeah oh yeah that's called a blue law Yeah yeah the Connecticut I know it's like I know from the Connecticut blue law
Starting point is 00:11:59 thing it's like liquor yes yeah yeah But yeah I thought you might be right way Sunday Sunday is done at 8 o'clock Which is a very strange thing Yeah yeah oh oh Sunday night football come on Yeah the sun's down That is a crazy thing that we had to deal with, though, in college.
Starting point is 00:12:16 You have to, like, really plan ahead on Sundays or somebody has to drive to Elkton, Maryland from Newark, Delaware. Oh, yes. At fucking 9.30 when nobody's sober already. That defined my, like, high school years is like the... Connecticut was the same way? Yeah, and, and, like, everything closed by, like, 8 p.m. On Sunday, specifically? No, no. Sundays, they weren't open, and then everything else closed at 8 p.m.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Like, yeah, so you'd have to make, like, the midnight. night run to New York damn to get which wasn't that far as like 15 minutes oh yeah to go over the border they're like at it's like yeah every place like that like I feel like if fireworks are the same way
Starting point is 00:13:01 it's like every like every border entry is just like liquor work liquor store and fireworks yeah there's a script of Newham yeah let me get some liquor works nah I've only had a couple few fireworks you fucker some liquor works going
Starting point is 00:13:16 there's a strip of 95 that goes through New Hampshire and I think it's only like a couple miles and it's just there's a liquor store I think in both directions It's too big barns It's like two big barns And it's all fireworks and liquor That's so funny
Starting point is 00:13:29 It's crazy Yeah I didn't know I guess what state I guess that's if you're going to Maine Maine has the stricter law So New Hampshire's like Come on in and we'll sell it to you cheap or something I think it's Massachusetts.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Is it? I think so. Because you forget, Massachusetts, it's all those, like, Puritans. It's the hardcore. That's why everything's white. Not racially, but, like, though, houses and stuff. I was picturing the painted house. That, too, that too.
Starting point is 00:13:59 Right, yeah. Yeah, I think they're the ones. Yeah, they're the ones that started. They were, like, nut jobs. And I think it just... Yeah. I haven't done much drinking in Massachusetts, I guess. really not that much now but every time you were there you drank yeah and it doesn't seem like the
Starting point is 00:14:17 bar is closed anytime weird i don't think i ever bought i don't think i ever bought beer besides in a bar in massachusetts yeah yeah just boston getting hammered yeah it's true but yeah the sundays kind of blow yeah it's the same way in pa with uh-clock right now i think it's different now that acmees to sell beer might be different oh though i don't know no oh wait yeah i think you're i think you're right i always get jammed up at acme because there's a little peek into my life but uh i sometimes i'll try to buy a single beer there and they're like we can only buy like a six pack at the checkout or something like you can't buy like a single beer well they sell single tallboys yeah they have like a free you you can't buy two
Starting point is 00:15:07 12 facts right that they've made they make you do two transactions which is like where do you you think you're going to you think god thinks this is right like who are you worried about how is this you're going to get into heaven because you made me do two transactions it's also like no you know what trouble do you think you're stopping it's yeah yeah why can you do you have to buy two tallboys or the equivalent of it's like a you have to like make of like an ounce equivalent to something like that Yeah, so it's so fucking weird Yeah, I don't even know if it's tall boys
Starting point is 00:15:46 I think it's literally just like they have like a fridge That has cans like this at least the one like me Oh yeah, those are you have to build your own I think you can't buy a single tallboy there though Oh, well I know what I'm doing later on Friday I have an Acme employee I need to apologize to
Starting point is 00:16:01 You gotta do Acme too Acme too I would The last time I was at Acme There was a lady who just tried to buy like a 20 four pack of water at like the liquor at the liquor checkout and uh she had like two screaming kids and uh it was holding up the line the line was 60 people long because they were like you can't buy that here you got to go to the grocery store part and she was like i'm not not buying this
Starting point is 00:16:32 right here and they were like all right and it was just like an old guy who was like i don't even know how to like ring this we don't even have buttons for water Did he make it happen that? Yeah, he did. He did. That's such a, like, and everyone had to wait. Mothers think they're heroes.
Starting point is 00:16:49 They're just bothering everyone. They're just being bitches. Meanwhile, the kid was, like, next to the, like, the automatic door just, like, stepping in front of it and it would open. Yeah, breaking back. Stress testing the acne.
Starting point is 00:17:03 Yeah. Just, yeah, literally, it's like, devastating seats by dropping, like, a bag into it over and over again. Yeah, truly devastating to, like, Like the operations that day, where it's like I had to like reboot the system to wring out water for the alcohol. For one single mother with two rambunctious children. One of whom broke the automatic door, by the way. You got two kids.
Starting point is 00:17:29 You sure you don't want a beer, miss? God. Dude, I feel like I'm just now coming out of a hangover that I produced. I was driving here. A stress hangover? Yeah, no, just. Saturday, Sunday, I got absolutely trashed.

Starting point is 00:23:20 I tried to use the kiosk. I was always under the impression that it kind of like stopped, but I mean, I don't know, maybe it's worth it. I thought it said to just do it. Eight to midnight on the thing. They really charged till midnight for fucking parking around. on here? Yeah, dude. This is a busy,
Starting point is 00:23:35 this is a busy, busy, busy neighborhood. Yeah, Fridays particularly. They get nuts. Yeah. Damn. They get really nuts. Dude, you also had a
Starting point is 00:23:44 like miraculous recovery too because you showed back up. I did use a little bit of performance in the scene. I did. I had a little bit of performance in it because I was sitting next to Kyla
Starting point is 00:23:58 and falling asleep and everyone was mad at me and Kyle gave me a little hit me with a little gina get a little gnaz hit me with the gnaz and it wasn't working which is when I was like I got to go home oh god and then it I went home
Starting point is 00:24:17 watered up chilled for a second and then I was actually pretty good and came back came back and I was like came back Undertaker yeah for real Undertaker because you came back and it was like this guy didn't even seem like he seemed like he's had like maybe a couple drinks
Starting point is 00:24:32 It's pretty awesome Is there any chance That there are spots out there That they tow from No No, no They'll just give you a ticket This app is fucked
Starting point is 00:24:42 Sorry man I mean I'm well We One just on Yeah yeah I did not have to walk Across a regular street to get here Yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:24:52 You'd be fine Okay Yeah All right They're fucking with me man He's fucking First of all They only have
Starting point is 00:24:59 A sparse amount Of parking kiosk to pay without downloading I bet that's annoying you have to like walk and then you have to walk away from your car kiosks are on their way out they are deservedly so
Starting point is 00:25:13 yeah but downloading the app feels like you're it feels like it's a violation of my privacy my privacy my autonomy my bodily autonomy don't make me do this I don't want to look at my phone I can't I was unable to consent due to the lack of
Starting point is 00:25:29 kiosks This does not count as consent. That's my formal statement to the judge. The parking judge, it takes me two years to see. But I have to come here once a month, every month. What they should do is... Your Honor, I was in a state of mind where I could not consent. I was furious from being in traffic, and the kiosk was beyond 75 feet.
Starting point is 00:25:54 I had recently visited a day, a customer-facing soda machine that had a small handwritten sign that said, no refills, I was not in the right state of mind. Handwritten's insane. Handwritten's wrong. And like, that's like a prank. It's not even a prank. It was thin. Yeah, like pen.
Starting point is 00:26:10 It was like, this guy's, that guy's been drinking too much cherry coke. Someone put something up that looks official. Also, in an establishment where you order a large and they seem to only have one size, soda. That really bugs me. If it's not free refills, then you have to have two different sizes. Come on I agree with this And if it's
Starting point is 00:26:33 I mean if it's facing the customers To fill up themselves Then it is free refills Yes You gotta turn the machine around brother Yes Yeah yeah yeah You put the gun in my hand
Starting point is 00:26:44 That's true It's like dude You give me a cup And now you're complaining That you're bleeding From the fucking tummy Huh Look at you
Starting point is 00:26:53 You give me a cup And an unguarded fountain It's open season Yeah And it was guarded with some side-eye, but I got through the side-eye. Yeah, that's, yeah, yeah, you can get over that quick. I do that debate every time at Chipotle, like, what, like, how much lemonade, like, what does the lemonade to water ratio in my cup have to be to have this officially be a lemonade? Right?
Starting point is 00:27:21 Oh, on the free cup? Yeah, yeah, yeah, you get the free cup. I say 51%? Yeah, I think so. I think so. If anything, officer, it was a lemon water. Yes. It certainly was not a lemonade.
Starting point is 00:27:34 Yeah. They can use an extra spout if they want to make it just water. Yes. And then I mention I'm a Chipotle rewards member. That's literally like the Fraternal Order Police sticker on your car. He's one of us. Yeah. I got it on my phone.
Starting point is 00:27:58 I erase the parking app from Westchester to make room for it, actually. They should, like, include, like, in the... When you have to download parking apps for, like, various cities, they should include, like, a betting function where it's, like, which of these cars on this block do you think gets a ticket first? And then, like... I think that's already, like...
Starting point is 00:28:20 I think there's an app that's doing that kind of shit. It's, like, on the way to it. Like, it's a bet on anything app. Oh, God. But we just needed to be hyper-localized. I think like every every block is going to need a block captain slash bookie that is like
Starting point is 00:28:34 I mean just set it up in charge of taking the yeah you know he's got the ring cam set up so he sees which cars actually do get ticketed yeah yeah it's like a surf cam yeah I can watch it anytime yeah what's wildwood yeah
Starting point is 00:28:49 wind's blowing in for yeah check it's head high damn there's a truck with a monster energy sticker that guy's getting fucked he's getting the ticket no question that guy's got fucking
Starting point is 00:29:04 T tags on and they're all afraid at the sides dude I I was driving through New York City recently and I forgot how like well more than that I feel like I've like lost my touch a little bit with driving for yeah from like not being in it
Starting point is 00:29:19 like I'm used like I've kind of gotten used to like Pennsylvania like suburb Pennsylvania and downtown Austin pedestrians. You've lost, like, the necessary aggression. Well, I forgot. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:34 Get you around easier. Yeah. I also, like, in New York, if you just plow through a group of people, they will all get out of the way. Yes. If you just keep rolling. Yeah, yeah. They know what to do.
Starting point is 00:29:45 They know how to function. Yeah. In, like, around vehicles. You know what I mean? Like, if you're taking a left through a crosswalk in New York, you can just go through them and everyone will, like, stop and modify. Yeah. Slow down.
Starting point is 00:29:58 speed up like it's like a school of fish or go under the car so funny but if you yeah in in austin if you accidentally go through like if you if you stop to like in front of the line you can kill 10 people they want they don't know how to get out of the way they don't like if you're not paying attention for one second you will cremate a guy got creamed yeah
Starting point is 00:30:23 cream You will You will just fully cremate A homeless man The homeless down there also They're like Yeah The guy of death wish
Starting point is 00:30:35 Yeah it's like an old video game Where they're just like Proop It just come through your screen Oh yeah Yeah I think I just realized
Starting point is 00:30:46 That was the first I was just in Austin And I ran in a car And I ran in a Jeep wrangler Because it was like cheap And I was like Never driven one This might be fun
Starting point is 00:30:54 It sucked I mean, it might just because it was a new car. Do you get the waves? Do you get the waves when you were driving around? I did get a couple. Yeah, Jake was in the passenger seat. He was like, I saw you do that, by the way. That's nice.
Starting point is 00:31:05 But what I did, I say, it's a rental. It's a separate hands suck. Stolen valor. But I didn't like driving in Texas, and I didn't even realize that was my first time driving in Austin. I've been Ubering or getting rides the entire time I went to go in there. That was, yeah, that was shitty. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:23 So we were staying right downtown, too, so we had to go. go out and deal with the pedestrian shit and then come in and park in a fucking fifth floor basement garage with tiny turns and shit. Yeah. Yeah, that kind of... They have. I mean, yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 00:31:36 Philly's kind of similar. Yeah, Philly. People just like chill in the street. They don't quite get it. You know? Yeah, it's somewhere in between. It's the middle ground. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:49 They've got a little awareness, but they don't expect... Like in New York, you expect someone in a... car to like come kill you yeah true like on high alert foot yeah yeah yeah yeah my heels don't touch the ground in new york city you know you're taking some chances dude i saw i was driving i was in philly it was either yesterday or two days ago and i saw it was like 8 a m and there were like two guys hammered and one had like a dog on a on like a chain
Starting point is 00:32:25 and he was trying to fight the other guy and they like fought their way into the middle of the street and then the dog just like sat down they were like hammered so they like kind of stopped fighting eventually they just it was like do you think they were together at some point
Starting point is 00:32:40 or there's two random drunks that they were like it was like guys who were like I think had gotten drunk together and then like something happened ready to brawl yeah yeah drop the gloves hang on to the leash
Starting point is 00:32:55 though the dog like came with him into the middle of the street and then the dog just like laid down in the middle of the street and the guy just was like he'd seen it before yeah and he just like let the dog chill for like an entire light he's just and his cars going by no no one yeah people were like trying to get around him but then the the guy he fought went to the other side of the street to get away from him and then he was like actually fuck that and he came back to like try fighting and then another drum friend like waved him over and they like eventually got out of the street but it's like I mean maybe that was how many people were in this drunk group was like four okay so there were like two guys on the street trying to talk them out of it and then two other guys damn like over it must have been like an overnight drunk like I hope I hope they didn't start at 6 a.m. I don't know maybe they're working the I don't give a fuck when they started honestly true it's possible Yeah, yeah, that's a good point. Maybe they were getting ready for the Eagles game.
Starting point is 00:33:58 I don't think so. I don't know what's worse. Still being drunk at 8, drunk enough to fight in the middle of the street or starting at 6 a.m. That's bar staff stuff. Yeah. Because you close up, you start drinking at 5 a.m.
Starting point is 00:34:11 Yeah, you go to a place that is open till. Mm-hmm. Yeah, you start. Or starts. You're just getting fucked up at the bar that you work at after you've cleaned everything up. Then, you know, everyone's having a good time. It's like seven
Starting point is 00:34:25 Feeling good The sun's up You start to not feel so good That's a fucked up Yeah you're not feeling good And then all of a sudden The people around You start looking like enemies
Starting point is 00:34:36 Yeah someone says I don't want to go to Dunkin' Donuts And you go What the fuck is your problem Just come with me to walk my dog Yeah right I gotta go back to the apartment And walk my dog
Starting point is 00:34:48 Then we'll come back here And keep drinking I don't want to do that Which is which was just outside it was just a corner which actually sounds kind of where was it like center cityish no it was like it was like west
Starting point is 00:35:03 oh yeah so it was like truly outside drinking yeah the west is the west still uh it's real touch and go up there it's touch and go it's like you go you go south it's pretty nice yeah a little like garden houses and shit
Starting point is 00:35:20 I know yeah southwest yeah southwest like it's i feel like because you have some experience with south i mean you have plenty of experience with south it's like yeah regular south though yeah i'm talking about i'm talking about like like just south of market in west philly like yeah oh yeah you get those fancy streets like a spruce yeah it's kind of nice spruce is kind of nice yeah up around like 45th 6 7th 8th yeah you're going from the hospital area towards west there's some fucking awesome
Starting point is 00:35:56 there's that one park and all the houses there are giant porches the streets are lined with huge trees old trees it's fucking beautiful area and then you just go a little bit too far and it's not... The house is still nice but they're just a little bit not taking care of
Starting point is 00:36:14 yeah they're like... You get to that place where they like firebomb that one yes the move yeah the move house MoveOn.org. Yeah, that's still... A lot of people don't know,
Starting point is 00:36:27 move on.org's your origin story. That's going to be what the next Chicago bombing is called, move on.org. Yeah, man. Blowing up, blowing up like a... What was it? It was like a warehouse, right?
Starting point is 00:36:44 Or it was just a house. There's a row of... That's right. It was like a block. It was like a block. Yeah, true. I think they... Yeah, and then they, like, dug a house.
Starting point is 00:36:51 in and so and they didn't have a lot of like they hadn't incorporated the military into the police as much as they have now so they just had a helicopter they only had helicopter access and i think they just dropped like a barrel full gasoline yeah it seemed like there was just a guy they'd call something over and nothing really sophisticated back to basics guys yeah surely they'll see this and leave. We've been up here for a minute. This is a thick rope. And I did not sharpen my knife before this.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Yeah, just with his scissors. I'm slipping off of it. So, yeah, that was like eventful for me to see the fight. I like seeing that sometimes. Yeah. It's like a bummer, a little bit, but it's also. If nobody gets the shit beat out of them, it's usually fine to see.
Starting point is 00:37:51 And that's what happened. So it was like, oh, this is like nice, kind of. Mm-hmm. It's like these guys, they'll be fine in like five minutes.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Mm-hmm. You know? Yeah, it's just a scrap. Just a scrap. It's like, yeah, it's like when you see
Starting point is 00:38:04 like hyenas and lions battle and they both get away like kind of okay. Yeah. It was just like, yeah. None of the cubs got eaten a couple hyenas found out a little bit.
Starting point is 00:38:14 Yeah. They're going to heal. Yeah. They got some cool scars now. It was like, One roofer is like mad on his way to work. It's nothing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:23 Everyone's okay. I got to see a little bar scuffle recently. I was outside smoking a cigarette and just walked away from the entrance 20 feet. And by the time I was turned around, two guys were going on one guy. It looked like. Damn. Or at least two guys bounced out of there after it went down. And then already the guy who got beat up was across the street.
Starting point is 00:38:45 And he was on the phone with the cops. All within like 60 seconds. damn and swim move the guys and the guys who were together bounced and then eventually that guy came back in waiting for the cops and then he went into the bathroom and saw his face in the mirror and that was before I got a look at him and he like slam the door
Starting point is 00:39:03 and yelled fuck and he did get a couple nice ones to the eye he was a little bit fucked up that would be a fucking kind of cool way to do UFC what have the cops come with no ref but you do have a phone that's so funny you can bounce out of the act That's so funny. Oh, my God. Like, if it starts going bad, your only hope is to call the police and they can come in and bail you out.
Starting point is 00:39:30 And that those guys run away in their convertible. It would be some guy. Yeah. Just waiting. And then there's one guy in the stands with the phone. He's like, if you can get to me. Dude, the excitement. The excitement.
Starting point is 00:39:47 I mean, if they called the police, but then, you know, they got the next, like, maybe, let's say, two, three minutes. They got to hang out in there and. Oh, my God. Yeah, they have to. And survive, like, till the police show up. Yeah. Yeah, the cops are, like, we're pretty busy. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:02 It would be, like, another part of, like, the game of it. Yes. Yeah, you know, you got to wait. It's like, you're in trouble because. The play-by-play would be like, oh, the cops are four minutes away. Dude, yeah. Four minutes. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:45:01 He's like, I'm going to go back into the bar Just I'll be in there when you get here And yeah, then you get to like watch You get to watch like the night at the bar Until it happens yeah slow it down play half speed yeah dude i i went on like i one time years ago i got hit by a car on my bike i fucking smoked and i was like jesus and it was like in an area where uh well i got
Starting point is 00:45:27 hit and then the guy who hit me uh he like he was on the phone and was ever tell you guys i like i got hit by a car the guy was on the phone and i was like hey what the fuck and then he backed up and he rolled his winning down and he's like hang on one sec and then he just pulled off he like started to point to you yeah yeah he like hung up he like pretended to hang up the phone call and then like left and then a car behind him pulled up and they were like you know that guy just hit you and I was like yeah no like damn that sucks so there was literally no one but then someone was like that's brotherly love right there I know Damn, that sucks.
Starting point is 00:46:13 And then, uh, I know. And I was like, all right, well. I scream's getting warm. Got to get this back into the freezer. Time to head home. Yeah, so then someone, I forget. I like, I was like, all right, well, I guess I'm just out of luck. And then someone was like, it was, like, it was in like a place where there were houses and apartment complexes and stuff.
Starting point is 00:46:37 So you could, like, ask for them to check the footage. And I went to, like, I went to, like, I went to, like, four. four houses trying to get footage and they were like it was I just remember that being like kind of fun to like try and get it I only got it at one apartment complex the others were like houses that like had cameras but they were like it's pointed in like a different direction yeah it's just like it never ended up working but I remember getting to watch the footage in like the basement of this apartment complex and it was just like it just didn't like didn't catch thing so I was like you hit the car look like you broke their windshield yeah just
Starting point is 00:47:17 actually can you delete this footage it looks pretty bad yeah were you like the door guy or something like the janitor have to take you down to the well dude that's apartment basement that was the other weird like I eventually got passed off to someone who works like in the basement but at first it was just like a lady like parking at the apartment complex and I was like I was like I got hit by a car yesterday can i and she like took me to like the basement of the building and then there was like a guy down there who was like he's like i don't really know how to work this but i think you can like see something what was the issue with the footage was it too grainy to get a license
Starting point is 00:47:55 played or did it was like too far up the street or something so it was like you could see the car like leaving yes so you like couldn't see me get hit but then you could see the car pulling away so it's like well here's i know that's evidence but it does nothing for us and we also don't get any license plate footage so i just had a look damn just got yeah got rolled on dude on the phone hang on yeah it must have sounded crazy too because he was on the phone and then it was like me like ah did you get injured i like fucked up my leg a little bit because he like he like almost like ran me over so it was like because he was like turning and he was just like not looking so he like hit like my right leg and like fucked up my knee a little bit but i was like
Starting point is 00:48:44 it was like a week or like a couple weeks of like just like soreness yeah it wasn't like a permanent injury thank god but yeah that's a tough yeah wrecked my bike that sucked my bike yeah how much it was an expensive bike it wasn't like crazy expensive but i just had to like get a new one they were like this is torch you gotta just you know So that, yeah, that was a real bummer, but bike shopping's intense. I know, yeah, especially now going to, like, just a regular bike shop. It's, like, all shit that's, like, made for people who actually bike. You can't get, like, just a regular going around town, not for exercise.
Starting point is 00:49:27 Yes. Yeah. Yeah, it's hard to find those. It's, like, kind of like, like, trying to buy furniture. You know what I mean? Where you, like, you go, like, I just want a cheap version of that thing that looks, good. Why don't you make the thing that looks good just cheaply?
Starting point is 00:49:43 Yeah. And I will buy it. I know. And then it's that thing where it's like I can either buy the thing that looks like shit or spend $10 million on the, like, what is going on? Yeah, the most expensive. Bikes were over $1,000. I was like, and that's, I think, a low-end regular bike.
Starting point is 00:50:03 Yeah. I think you can get some stuff for like $500 that will get you buy. Yes. If you're just doing errands in a city But even then you have to interact With like all the bike shop people And they're really like I feel like every time you're like
Starting point is 00:50:16 Can I just get this? They're like I know I fucking embarrass myself This guy doesn't even know what bikes are Yeah I like it's literally It's like a dude who looks like he lives in Zion In The Matrix
Starting point is 00:50:28 And he's like He knows everything there is to know about bikes And then it's like You don't Yeah and I'm just like I'm truly an idiot of inexperienced like I would suck it sucks that I'm coming into his place of work for a children's toy yeah dude yeah it's like I just want I just need a thing to like ride to work yeah and he's like that's I can't do I can't help you dude every just just asking for like yeah I just need like a bike that's going to be like durable and gets me gets me around the city it's like it it feels like you're talking about what's the difference between communism and socialism like they get so deep into the weeds they're like that bike doesn't even exist and you're like it definitely does I swear I think my brother has one that's like kind of got like
Starting point is 00:51:21 it's not a pure road tire it's almost like a little bit of like a off roady thing and then it's just like a normal frame and they're like yeah I don't even know what you're talking about man like it's always that kind of stuff and you're like what's a frame that would fit me and they're like I don't know. How do you sit? I don't, I don't, how are you supposed to, like, for a normal sitting guy, that's my height, I want a bike that's not a road bike, but not a mountain bike. That's what I want. And they're like, that's going to be like $6,000.
Starting point is 00:51:59 And you're like, well, what's the baseline version of that? yeah it's like a car yeah i think you want a car yeah i'm just gonna buy a bike online then that sounds like a miserable experience yeah it's a yeah it's a bummer they're like yeah it's like if you go and like get shit fixed they're really helpful because they're like if you already own the equipment yes yeah because you go in and they're like oh yeah that's like it's it becomes suddenly the cheapest thing it's like oh yeah it's like 12 bucks yes what yeah where's the that what what is the What is expensive on this thing?
Starting point is 00:52:36 I know. Yeah, it's always like the fork or whatever. And they're like, yeah, I mean, like, you can go aluminum, but you're going to feel the road a lot. And you're like, what does that mean? I was looking at e-bikes, and I feel like there's e-bikes that you can get for $1,500. I bet. Yeah. China's got that hot as nice as fucking.
Starting point is 00:53:01 Yeah. A road bike that you'd spend five grand on, but it's still like, yeah. If it's fucking moves for me, it seems like it's worth a little bit more than the man-powered one. Yeah, dude, I've been having, I've been having some, me and the African delivery guys in Philly have been kind of in a little, it's a little bit of a tiff because they use the bike lanes and they all have e-bikes. And they also, I just have a regular bike. And they have like, I'm getting honked at a lot by e-bikes. Like with like Uber Eats No it's like
Starting point is 00:53:35 Yes it's that They have an electronic horn now Yeah Whoa And I'm getting like honked out like a lot And then I'm like Purposefully trying to Fuck with them

Starting point is 00:54:13 But it is wild That they put in bike lanes And then they just made motorcycles Go in the bike line I know And I get it Completely undermined
Starting point is 00:54:21 The rationale Yeah it's Yeah there should be like Amish bike lane And then like African guy bike lane That's super Yeah, they will fucking whip on those things.
Starting point is 00:54:34 But, yeah, an e-bike would be nice. It's like, some of the city bikes now are e-bikes. Yeah, but they, they're only pedal assist. Oh. You have to move it up. Well, you have to move your feet still. Oh, shit. Yeah, these are, let's go.
Starting point is 00:54:50 Oh, okay. One, two, three. One, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah, I found that out the hard way.

Starting point is 00:57:54 You clearly make a thing that everyone wants to play. Yeah, we're all trying to download this game that doesn't exist. Yeah, why not just make that game? I don't know. Right, just repeat the advertisement for an hour. Dude, they've gotten layers of
Starting point is 00:58:09 psychotic with it too on the ads because now people have found out that they're fake games. So they'll have an ad that someone being is literally the same as the ad you saw last time Like all the action in the game is that.
Starting point is 00:58:26 But it'll be a real person pretending that they're actually playing. And going like, oh, yep, a lot of people say these games are fake. I'm going to try this game. Oh, my God. I'm playing and I'm trying to get the thing. And oh, no, it didn't work out. And, well, game's definitely real. And you're like, you went through all this trouble.
Starting point is 00:58:46 Yeah. Instead of just making the game that is clear. Yes. That probably costs. There's no point where you can get to. the game that they show on the TV it's never going to happen I don't think so
Starting point is 00:58:58 it should be the first thing you experience when you download the game it's not if you're asking me I promise you it's not I know I think you're right and then I think maybe if you pay like if you do like a million dollars with the in-app purchases
Starting point is 00:59:11 you might be able to get something that looks almost almost a little bit like what they show in the commercial yeah it's the most what when you pay
Starting point is 00:59:22 $10,000 it's just the most pixelated commercial shit. I guess this is kind of like it. It's like, yeah. Yeah, I've got a game idea. Guy gets frustrated with phone game, finds the address of the video game maker,
Starting point is 00:59:37 and drives there with a gun. Somebody needs to kidnap Johnny Galucky is what needs to happen. That's when we're going to get answers. Kidnap anybody that doesn't advertise me for this company. And we'll get some fucking answers. Time up. I thought about trying to like search around and find one of the people
Starting point is 00:59:53 fake playing the game and actually like berate them? Be like who? No, no, not even berate them. Be like who contacted you? What's your point of contact? It's just give me one email address man. Yeah. I guarantee you it's like a hot AI Instagram bot lady
Starting point is 01:00:09 who you know what I mean? Oh, oh who's like pretend you're playing this game and I'll introduce you to my friends. She thinks you're cute. Dude, that I would like I would, you know what? I would give it up to him. I would give it up to them if they were if they had like a, if they had like a gamer girl with fat tits doing it but it's literally just a guy yeah it's just a guy yeah that sucks at least gave the people what they want yeah it's unbelievable it's not even
Starting point is 01:00:37 shown it's like one of those things where you're like yeah you like had to turn in a paper in high school and you just like you just lied to the teacher for forever and like did all of this shit instead of just writing the paper right you eventually had to do anyway yeah exactly It's like, you're going to pay. Why did I do this? Yeah. You're paying this, like, random person, probably close to what it would cost a guy to at least make one level.
Starting point is 01:01:03 Yeah. Yeah. Would you pay $20 for the game? You'd pay $10. You'd be embarrassed to say, actually, how much I would pay for the real game. If I knew that it was a, yeah, I would buy, I would pay Xbox prices. just to see if it's a correct kingdom heart, whatever it is. Game.
Starting point is 01:01:30 Royal Kingdom, I think is what. Royal Kingdom. If they eventually made the game, I think at this point, look, they've gotten me so bad. They must be getting other people. They're going to wait until you guys are all on podcast
Starting point is 01:01:41 saying, I'll pay anything to play the real thing. Oh, and it's a free ad. You want $1,000? Oh, my God. I, for real, Royal Kingdom, I will do anything to actually play. the game. I do. I get so frustrated. Also, those ones where like the zombies are coming and you have to like choose to like add three guys or like or shoot them down on one side. Yeah. Yeah. It's like I I want to play that. Does that game not exist? That game does not exist. God damn. That's a fake game. At least every one of those ads. I watch all the way through. Same. I do not skip those motherfuckers at all. Dude. I'm like get him getting rid of. Dude.
Starting point is 01:02:23 It's true. And, yeah. I watch it multiple times. If it plays on a loop, I watch it multiple times. And it seems like it would be the most satisfying thing to actually play. Yes. And stressful. Can me get my blood a little bit elevated, you know, my doctor said get my blood pressure up.
Starting point is 01:02:39 Yes. See? Yeah. Elevate the heart rate. This is exercise. Yeah. Holding my phone. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:44 That game's 100% fake and they go through the wrong gate and they lose four guys. Yeah. And you're like, that's not real. I know. But it gets you so. pissed off that you keep watching yeah to see if they'll recover from it and then like I think that's how much I've watched them it like I said I know yeah the moves yeah so when I see another guy fake playing I know that it's that he's not fucking doing it right
Starting point is 01:03:10 no it's like I know that this is the ad and he's just pretending he's playing over the ad I think I learned this years ago like getting ads for games and then it doesn't end up being Even if it was just a fucking shoot a thing at this And try to pop these things And that's not the first thing you see When you get the game That has caused me to not download Any of those ad games since
Starting point is 01:03:34 Yeah But I completely forgot about the reasoning Maybe it is Maybe it's like maybe yeah Maybe they're coming from the opposite direction Where it is like a CIA program To like not get people to buy candy crush Oh wow yeah yeah
Starting point is 01:03:51 Like it's like you You create a gaming experience that is so awful, like add to game experience that is so painful, you know? That it prevents people from buying games and playing them and getting stuck on their phones. I mean, I'm still looking at it. I'm still watching the ad. I'm still watching the ad six hours a day. God, dude, this is, yeah, it's truly eight and a half last week. I got the eight and a half hours of watching the ad last week.
Starting point is 01:04:22 that's an average it's a weeky average eight and a half hours of watching the world it's like Chinese madman Dong Draper oh fuck it's like we make
Starting point is 01:04:34 the phone commercial excellent yes and then and the game doesn't exist the game doesn't even exist and it's fake it is it's like you just
Starting point is 01:04:45 just just watching kids like stream out onto the street to play kick ball after a royal kingdom betrays. They're playing stick and hoop, like everything's back, kicking the can. You know what, I'm off games forever.
Starting point is 01:05:00 Well, now this sounds American, which is kind of nice. Yeah. This is like a Bud Light program. Yeah, it's like Miller Corps advertising agency to get people off their phones and back into bars where they can fight real people. Yeah, it kind of would be a sick program.
Starting point is 01:05:18 If you just loaded like every dating app with Bob, and like made them like unusable yeah people start going back to bars yeah out into parks and throwing parties yeah you know what I'm feeling you I'm with him random dude yeah party with just like just invite whoever yonder bag parties yeah dude parties don't even leave your phone at home bring your phone just know that you can't look at it and you really want to go magnetize it Yeah, it's like, uh, yeah, what's like the, the neutralizer thing that like just, like, ruins the signal. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:57 Yes. Dude, those were awesome. Those, like, parties where it was just like, just people from the town are here. Yes. Dude. Like, when I was in college, there were parties at just, like, houses. Like, it was literally guys who, like, lived in the town that, yeah, near the college. And they were, like, there.
Starting point is 01:06:19 We, like, rented a house and you can, like, have a, it's like a party. And it's like a, it's, like, fucked up. It's like a really fucked up party. But it's like so, it's like fun. Because it's like, it's just destroying everything and nobody even knows who lives there. Yeah, it's like, yeah, there's, like, it's like an kind of empty house. There's like people you like recognize from like the Jimmy Johns. Like getting fucked up there.
Starting point is 01:06:43 It's so cool. That was fun where you could just go. You could just see a party happening and just take, you have beers in the rest. Yeah, you can come in. Just walking around. It's so nice. With 12 beers until you're down to two. You're like, oh, one last party.
Starting point is 01:06:57 Yeah. Yep. One more party. Yeah, I got one more. Yeah. Those nights always end bad. Yeah. They always end with a friend who won't stop yelling at the cops.
Starting point is 01:07:07 Yes, I was good. She was about to say the cops come. Yeah. You got to leave. They're not even being dicks. They're just going like, look, you got to wrap it up. We're getting complaints. And everyone's like, okay, thank you.
Starting point is 01:07:17 We're all 20. So thank you for not arrest. us yes and then your one friend is just like you know what fuck you this is private property dude they're just fucking we were out while they tase him he's like yeah already tied up in like the crab oh dude like with the cuffs that reminded me of the mark sanchise thing oh yeah i've i've only heard a little bit but it's crazy yeah what happened it's crazy yeah what happened He was drinking snake juice to start. It sounds like, what the fuck is he on?
Starting point is 01:07:53 Yeah, he was sitting next to Kyla. And he, dude, he fucking, he apparently, like, at some, like, a loading dock attacked, like, a 69-year-old man. No, what? And he was, like, parked in his own car. Yeah. The guy was, like, a door-dash driver or something. And he was, I guess, between deliveries. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:17 In an alleyway where you probably wouldn't be walking down if you weren't drunk and had to piss behind a dumpster. Yeah. And then I haven't seen a video angle either, but I heard that, like, he went at the guy. The guy sprayed him with, like, bear spray or pepper spray or whatever. Didn't slow him down a little bit. Jesus Christ. Mark Sanchez gets on him. He just is like, shit, shit, and then, like.
Starting point is 01:08:45 He stabbed him? Yeah. Dude, there's, I have seen footage of Sanchez walking home. Sanchez got stabbed. Yeah. Oh, my God. So did the driver, the driver had the knife on? Yeah, I think so.
Starting point is 01:08:56 But he got, the driver got a laceration, like a, something, Sanchez must have got the knife at some point. Yeah. And the driver's face got cut, or it got cut somehow. Whoa. Yeah. Well, it got, yeah. That's right I heard. Well, like, nasty disfigure?
Starting point is 01:09:09 I don't know. He's going to heal up just fine. There's all sorts of technologies. Yeah, yeah. Modern medicine's a miracle. It'll be fine. Yeah, it's very good. really funny that would be he's also about to be a fucking millionaire over and over
Starting point is 01:09:22 dude that's true he's about to sue the the Sanchez still is an analyst like that guy's still yeah oh yeah that's why you used to have bread yeah mother fucking true door-dash driver that's wild everyone thought the butt fumble would be his lowest point nobody saw this coming he had he had completely redeemed himself from the butt fumble. Oh, my God. And now he's back. I mean, truly, yeah,
Starting point is 01:09:52 it's like turning into like a saga for him that is worthy of like a more popularized, dramatized storyline. That's crazy for that Dordas driver to be like dropping something off. He's like, who's this drunk guy?
Starting point is 01:10:08 And oh, stab Mark Sanchez all the whole time. Stop attacking you. Oh, an ex, an expert, a former professional football player. it's such a wild like out of the blue like because it it feels like a thing that you could imagine happening like cat williams yeah or like jimmy fallon yeah yeah someone with a little bit of a record yeah but cat william or jim phallon two people on opposite ends of the bell
Starting point is 01:10:35 spectrum but guess he's in the middle there that's mark stancho sitting right up top right at the top of the bell curve between cat williams and jimmy fallon lies mark Mark Sanchez. Yeah. That's true. Yeah. The Cat Williams fight. That guy is about 50 years too old.
Starting point is 01:10:53 Mark Sanchez from the rafters. Yeah, for real. Oh, my God. And I can't believe he got stabbed. He's okay? I think he was like, he's more in trouble now than he is anything. He went to the hospital. The cops, like, arrested him, like, in the hospital.
Starting point is 01:11:10 Dude. Oh, my God. Just being drunk. and being, like, kind of famous. Dude, he had a game. He had to call a game on Sunday. Oh, and he was like the night before. He was not like a retired, like, you know.
Starting point is 01:11:26 He was like working on his own life. He like, he had, he was calling a game for Fox on Sunday. Yeah, like he was in town for that, right? Oh my God. And he got fucking stabbed. Got to love a dude who's still, uh, late 30s and getting fucked up before work the next day. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, shout out, Mark Sanchez, I hope you're okay.
Starting point is 01:11:45 Got to give it. to him for that. Yeah, it's awesome. It's funny to think of some of his buddies at the bar going like,
Starting point is 01:11:50 what I'm going to Mark? I don't know. He always does he's probably Irish goodbye. Irish goodbye. I probably just went back
Starting point is 01:11:56 to the hotel. That's going to be where's my guy? He's probably snapping some fucking door desk driver behind the hotel. No,
Starting point is 01:12:04 that's actually, yeah. Yeah. It's, what was he doing those other times? He said he went home. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:12 Damn, that actually, I mean, back to like the, the phone games bringing people outside like it does kind of remind me of like an older football like an older football player kind of story that's some old school shit yeah
Starting point is 01:12:25 got fucked up father that god it wasn't him sending text to his people he wasn't supposed to or being in DMs he wasn't supposed to I like a good old fashioned this actually be getting stabbed on the street yeah yeah in downtown indie where he was the provocateur yeah because that that was that was the thing
Starting point is 01:12:44 but he would be like defending their wife or something like that they like got stabbed beat the shit out of a guy and you'd be like man that guy was tough his name he still is best the end of all time true yeah it's just like well i thought he was door d'ornech never kept that thing on him too i guess yeah dude but had a weapon yeah i mean had multiple weapons he deployed the spray that didn't work yeah the non-lethal didn't work dude he tried to keep it civil all right yeah true oh my god this didn't do it Spray's not worked in the fucking NFL or something. Pull out the knife.

I was out of line for that one. That was, there's no way that's. I should have read between the lines and solo.
