This is early for a pod for me
Really?
Yeah, well, this is my prime time
Yeah, you got fucking kids
Yeah, 10 a.m.
10 a.m. is my real prime time.
I don't hold anyone to that, though, but 10 a.m.
You take naps?
I try to. I don't get them that often, but...
Every time you go to take a sip of water, I'm going to ask you a question.
Yeah, excellent.
You almost got it out.
I didn't even realize I abandoned my quest for water.
But no, I take naps.
Tomorrow I'll be flying, so I'm going to purposely not drink coffee, hit a nice nap in the hotel.
I was going to say, are you on the bean today?
Yeah, I'm on a bean.
Whenever I rest from working out, I wake up and immediately hit the bean like a fiend.
What's the bean?
Coffee.
Oh.
Sorry.
I try to, uh, the days, the days I'm working out, I try not to drink coffee before I work out.
I don't like the feeling of my heart, just pounding too hard.
Really?
It fucks you up that much?
Yeah, for sure.
If I had a cup of, like, regular coffee and worked out, tell me.
Dude, that's all I do.
I know.
Most people, no, most people do that.
They drink the coffee and they work out.
They love it.
Yeah. I walk around with hot coffee in the gym, and I've always done that.
And people think it's so fucking weird.
Some people do that.
Just like a cup of Joe.
I've seen people do that.
Can you do, like, cardio and shit after drinking coffee?
Oh, I can't do that.
This fucker gave me a pre-workout.
I was going to.
I haven't had, now that is pure cocaine, dude.
Yeah, that stuff's rough.
It is, now I know why the kids are addicted to it because it's like.
You dry scoop,
I haven't he does that shit
it's the fucking crazy shit
no I was
hung over in like Philly or something
we had to do an hour pot in the bed
Chris and I in the hotel bed
damn he took some like ghosts nerds flavored
ghost
3D
I haven't done cocaine
in a while it was like the first five minutes
of that was the closest thing to the
kokai I was like this is great
that's awesome I was staring at Chris's
crotch I was getting all horned off
You know horny and gay?
That's kind of the main side effect
The pre-workout, I would say
It's like horny gay
Vaso dilation, obviously
Get the nitric oxide
Yeah, that's a whole different fucking high though
Pre-workout's a very shady
Industry man
A lot of them get banned
Names are fucked up
It's like unicorn blood, pimps lap
I've looked into this pretty extensively
I think it's like the same flavors as vapes too
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah made by men of unidentifiable race
I swear to God, the vape shop guys are like from the future
I try to peg those guys
I'm like, Paul's obviously
But I'm like, oh
I'm like what are you like what are you guys
I just go to vape shops just to see what those guys are
I went to a vape shop around the corner here
Since the tire ofs they can't get in like the two of the big brands
So the stock
Yeah geek bars are gone
Is that a Chinese brand?
Yeah, obviously apparently
Yeah the weird juices that you smoke
It's obviously coming from China
Yeah.
But all the shelves are like, like I went to Cuba and the, the supermarkets in Cuba, they all
have the same product, but there's like only two or three boxes.
Then you've got to walk down three feet and there's like two jars or something.
It's the saddest of shit in the world.
Really?
This vape shop is the same way.
We should get a cigar if you're in Cuba, dude.
Grab a cigar.
Oh, I did.
Of course I did.
Every day.
Yeah, but I was looking for, you know, I just want this.
I want to smoke in class.
I want a Cuban vape.
You want a buzzer class.
Before Vibre.
but yeah that's kind of how the shop is it's like so sad there's nothing on the shelves and
yeah all i can think is like what are you going to do next do they drive like the oh is it true
they drive like super old cars because of the embargo yeah that's yeah dude it's awesome yeah it's
just stuck in time i like that how was cuba i didn't i never fucking amazing dude was it really
yeah i i had such a good time it was like we stayed in this like ex-presidential palace
which was like on an air b and it like overlooked their central part
And it was only like a few hundred bucks a day.
I like that.
You had your own chef and cook that came out and made you breakfast smoothies.
I like...
They just, they shove mango down your fucking throat every morning.
Yeah, the fresh fruit though is amazing, man.
It's great.
I've been following...
Have you followed the passport bros, the movement?
No.
So they're young men from America who get fed up trying to date American women and they go to
like Cuba, they go to like, you know, South American countries that are economically
a little depressed.
And then they go down there and go, like, I'm fucking pimping.
Let's go.
You have sex with, like, semi-starving ladies.
Yeah.
And then he saw a dating course on the end.
You got to fat them up. You got to give him some more mango.
Fat and lots of mango.
Turns out, these starving ladies think I'm hot right now.
It's very...
Hey, do you?
That is so funny to be like, the women in America only care about money.
I'm going to go to the third world country and get down to earth.
And be them here.
No, it's like very...
It's a good move.
It's dilapidated, but beautiful.
yeah it's like all it's got like all these like pastel color buildings that i love that
falling apart but i always want to paint my house like aquamarine yeah dude right see that and yeah i just
never pull the trigger no well it's ridiculous only a child would do that you're right
no i like it whenever i see that i'm like fuck i wish i lived in a place more brightly colored
it's shitty but safe because they're they make all their money on tourism
so they they look down upon like a pickpock or any of that shit but the only scheme they got is
there's always a one-day-only cigar sale.
So you'll get chased just because you're white
by some dude who dressed in a suit.
Yeah.
And this one guy would carry like a bottle of pills.
And apparently a scam is,
go, where are you from America?
Like, yeah.
And he goes, where?
And he finds the city that's closest to you.
The guy knows the map.
Oh, wow.
And I said, Philadelphia.
And he goes, oh, my sister lives in Pittsburgh.
And then he strikes him.
That would get me.
Dude, of course.
I'm like, that's right there.
Yeah, I'm from Lansdown, actually.
I'm like, how the fuck do you know Lansdown?
Yeah, I'll buy anything you have.
Come with me.
I'll take you this special shop.
It's for today only, you know, three for one.
And you get a cost it three times a day doing that shit.
The special one day only shop.
Yeah.
And then I finally found some old bag that hand rolled them.
That's nice.
Yeah, she was the best.
That's awesome, man.
Yeah, I always want to.
Can you still not get Cuban cigars here?
Is that really?
Yeah, I think so.
Apparently.
I don't know if that's so fucking in a way.
I don't know if that's like a...
Every rich guy I know has a whole box of Cubans.
Yeah, I feel like you can still get them.
They're not shoving them up their ass and taking a trip.
You know?
That's something they're getting here somehow.
Also, too, it's like I challenge someone to, like, really show me the difference.
You smoke like a nice cigar from like Nicaragua.
You'd be like, that's not close to the Cuban.
You have no fucking idea.
I'm not kidding.
I, it has to be, you know, it's got to be a mental and emotional thing.
Oh, they're something else?
Hand-rolled fresh in Cuba.
Yeah, true.
I've had
I just had a cigar
with Bobby Kelly
in fucking Florida
open it for Shane
and I'm like
I'm like I don't waste it
I don't really care
after like two puffs
I'm like all right
yeah
it's a fucking whole ordeal
it's an hour long
yeah
you know Cardini smells
like a walking cigarette
but like
imagine cigar for like three
three hours
see I like it
I'll smoke
my dad got me
in smoking them
because he loves them
and then no one ever
everyone's always like
I'm good on it
so I'd always be like
I'll smoke a cigar with you
now I'm kind of like
fuck I get it
I want to get into it
dude
you sit there
and for some
reason the babes respect to cigar yeah like if you that's one activity if you start they're like
i'll leave you big because there's like because you can really dig in on them if you have to put
it down you get to be like yeah i don't know where to fucking put this thing what the what the fuck
do you really want yeah yeah so i feel like you got a fucking two foot long cigar
keep her bitch off my ass i have like a small tripod holding on the other end but no you
get a good hour man it's nice you get a little dizzy it's i i enjoy it man yeah i've been i've been really
liking it but the problem is i'll i'll go on the road and like if i do a night where it's just one show
i'm like i'll have some time that i end up smoking a cigar at like nine o'clock and like it kind
keeps me awake for a little bit really yeah it gets me like you're sensitive i'm a sensitive
instrument for sure you are but if i have a cigar for real like 11 p.m and try to lay down
can't sleep no shit i swear to god you never did coke no never done it my life you'd be up for a week
dude i would i'd be the guy who died yeah i'd do it once and die you don't dude i'll never man i
hate cocaine i've always hated it since i was young
guard dog you done with the no scratch
I've never done it before either
I got calls with him in the garage
I got a couple
Coke garage calls
I know when my buddy's are on coat
no I'm taking care of myself now
there you go mm-hmm yeah I just don't like it man
it's also a thing like I mean I'm curious to get your
perspective on this since you're you know raging coke addict
I uh it's been years dude
I know, I'm kidding.
But you have to stop, right?
Anything that you have to eventually stop, I'm like, I don't want to start.
Yeah.
Because then, like, you do, Coke especially, dude, you're in the 20s.
You can't be cooler.
You get late.
That's what I'm saying.
It's a portal to the absolute babes.
Yeah.
Hotest, sluggiest babe.
It is.
It's an absolute portal to the hottest luddest babes.
I just sell it.
I know too well.
You sold it, but didn't even try.
Never tried it.
I did the gummer.
That was it.
When you put in your teeth and I was like, I didn't like it.
Yeah.
But the, but yeah, man.
but the thing is it 20s you can't be cooler 30s it's like all right i'm gonna stop that i could
see the light at the end of the tunnel but then like you happen to it what happens i've seen is like
people get caught doing it at like the friend's weddings a lot it kind of leads into a
yeah best man getting in an argument with the groom yeah what the fuck man yeah anytime there's
a pack of dudes on like a trip it's you see it in austin all the time there's like five guys here
for like a golf trip one's whacked out of their fucking i was also kidding i don't think you're
raging cocaine
I don't care
I wish I
I fucking was
I wish I still
still had the balls
to do it
I wish we had some
right now
yeah dude
fentanyol ruined all that
yeah that's
that's the thing too
people are like
oh we tested
it's like
no you don't
yeah
if they started
putting fentanyl and cigars
you'd probably stop
I'm for sure
100%
I'd definitely do it
yeah
I tell it for me
my dad
just to go out like that
just to go out like that
it's a barbecue
in July
the ultimate
dad death
smoking a fent
a cigar just knocked over
next to the grill.
That'd be awesome.
Speaking of fucking...
Listen to this...
What do you get?
DeRosa called me this morning.
Give you a little voicemail?
Yeah.
What made you think of him?
Just curious.
What were we talking about?
Health.
Cigar's up the ass.
He just got his...
He just got his...
His colonoscopy.
Sweetheart, I called you
because I wanted to talk to you
about this.
fucking colonoscopy
I really wanted to
just like kind of walk you through it
and tell you all about it
brother I lost I'm not kidding dude
I think I lost eight pounds
on the prep day
it was nuts
all right
he wanted to walk me through
and he goes have to die
I think I'm going to call
colonoscopy that's not a bad idea
get a call
see what his walkthrough is I want to see what the walkthrough is
that's really knock you out
Proof. Hey, Pig. So, you're on, you're on Stuff Island right now with Matt McCusker and Gardini. Is that okay?
Yeah, I mean, yeah. I mean, what the fuck is this?
I want you to walk me through the colonoscopy that I have.
Okay. Are you scheduled?
Yeah, next Wednesday.
I mean, dude, from start to finish, I hated every second of it. I know you're excited about it, but.
I mean, not eating
Not eating solid food for a day is
And I feel like a pig saying that
There are people that starve for like weeks
And because I couldn't eat a fucking sandwich
For 13 hours
I was like I'm gonna die
So I feel like an animal even admitting that
But it's true like not eating sucked
You describe what the prep would do
Is pissing out your ass
But brother that doesn't even scratch the surface
I mean, you
I documented it.
I videotaped the whole thing.
What do you?
What do you mean?
For what?
For a vlog?
For a vlog?
Yeah, I'm going to put it on my YouTube.
I need content.
Dude, I took this shit.
It's not that bad.
It doesn't taste that bad.
It tastes like, kind of tastes like pediolite.
like very sugary and like a little salty um it looks worse than taste but um i drank it and dude
within an hour it hit my guts i sat on the toilet i am talking like i'm talking like six
in a row like in one sitting bucket dumps of water out of your ass i mean dude it's it was crazy
It was crazy.
Any solids?
Zero, dude.
Zero.
Literally not one solid thing.
It was full liquid immediately.
Dude, it liquefies your insides.
It's kind of fucking freaky, dude.
It's like, it like literally takes whatever's in you and just fucking turns it into liquid.
And you dump out and you do, you do, I don't know, I had like,
five of those dumps with the first dose
and then the second dose
is the one you got to do
when you're like six hours out so I did
do it at 3 a.m. And I was like
well this one probably won't be that bad
dude it was fucking worse
it was worse I lost I'm not kidding
I lost seven or eight pounds. Well that's great
you should order another script
I know I want to do it once
a month and sit there
what
was their color to the
to the dump
I'm actually like
It gets clearer as you go.
It starts out looking, you know, like chocolate, like chocolate milk.
And by the end of it, it's kind of yellow.
The lady asked me when I got there, she's like, what color was the last battle movement
you had?
And I was like, I kind of looked at her like, what are you fucking gross?
And she was like, and she could tell that I was like a little thrown off by the question.
And then she goes, could you see a quarter if you put a quarter in it?
And I was like, yeah.
Yeah, that's a secret.
Like a Japanese pond?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, make a win.
So then fucking, she, uh...
I stayed awake, by the way.
I didn't go under.
I didn't do the propanol.
I stayed awake for it, yeah.
Oh, for the scope?
Don't do that.
Oh, yeah, go under.
Do not stay awake.
What?
Yeah, obviously.
Because I didn't want to ask somebody to pick me up at 9.30 in the morning.
And I also was,
I would have picked you up.
That's insane.
You don't even fucking respond to my text
half the time.
Yes.
Did your ass hurt afterwards?
That's what I want to know.
Did your ass hurt?
Matt's asking if your ass hurt.
Matt's asking if your ass hurt afterwards.
Um, no, dude.
Actually, that part's,
my ass hurt from the amount of dumping before.
I have a,
I have a bidet.
And, dude, I'm telling you, the last couple dumps, when I turned to the day on, when it hit my ass, it felt like acid.
Like, your ass is raw from that.
But the actual insertion of the camera thing, that's not bad.
Like, they, you know, they fucking, they lube you up and, you know, they're gentle enough.
What hurt during the procedure was when it was staking through me.
He would hit these, like, he would hit these, like, corn.
Corners, sorry, man, I didn't mean to talk over you.
I'm having a hard time hearing you guys.
No, you're good.
Oh, okay.
They would hit these corners, and the doctor would be like, hey, man, we got a corner coming up.
So try to relax.
Which is an insane thing to say.
I swear to God, I was on the table, and I was going, there were times during it where I was going, fuck, fuck, fuck.
Is it fucking hurt?
And this nurse, this nurse,
she started rubbing my back.
And she's going,
you're doing great,
you're doing great.
And she's rubbing my back.
It's kind of turning me on a little bit.
And I mean,
but I mean,
I was clean as a whistle,
dude,
not one polyp.
Nothing.
Oh,
that's great.
I got a fucking bouquet of flowers
they got to cut out.
A bunch of hemorrhoys
clock in my accent.
dude.
Oh, really?
Yeah, when I, when I typically have like two, like over two dumps a day, they swell up
and they clog the door.
Get the flat boys.
I got to tuck them back in like a fucking shit.
Yeah, I would, uh, if there's any way for you to tend to that in any way before this,
this prep day, I would try to do.
No, I think they, they clean all that up.
I was talking to one of the ladies at Mothership.
She said they go in there.
clean anything. It's not supposed to be there.
She said her ass was like a whistle.
I didn't know girls had to do that.
Well, that's what you want to get to hold out of major medical procedures
and the door girl on to mother's ship.
Well, she's older.
She's older.
Yeah, she's like, I'd love to keep talking about this, but some guy just pissed in the sink.
All right, Joe, I'm glad.
So what do you say?
Like one, one extra.
day to like not do shows and not like try not to do anything what's the turnaround time
i went out i went out last night got cocked i'm sorry i love you bye i love you bye see you man

Get to wear the fucking plug for three years.
I probably should go soon because I think I have a history of like
colon issues.
Yeah, my grandfather had colon cancer.
Yeah.
So, yeah, I should probably get my butt hole checked out.
My mom's got like Crohn's and colitis too.
Yeah, my mom's got ulceritis, whatever the fuck is called.
Yeah, I got all the stuff.
Yeah.

That sucked.
Because I thought it was gonorrhea.
I got it when I was 22 years old.
It has the similar, has like an STD type of reaction when you pee and the swelling.
I see, it wasn't hurt when I was peeing.

critical, man. They didn't do anything like
that. What? They made you orgasm

Fuck.
Maybe.
Yeah, you hadn't do that.
Bed over an open wide.
Yeah, he basically just like

So he just got you to dribble.
Yeah, you got me to dribble.
He edged you.
Yeah, he edged you.
Yeah.
Damn, that's crazy, dude.
I know.
What, he tested your cum?
Yeah.
For an infection, I guess.
How about you just give me a fucking antibiotic, dude?
Obviously, that's what they do now.
So any time I'm getting, all right, look, I had a rubber break with a hooker once.

My penis got a cold
Hooker
Rubber breaking on the hooker
Nightmare
Tough tough look
How'd she handle it
Was she like
Ah fuck
Yeah she didn't fuck
Oh fuck honey
Yeah
Fuck that makes you my boyfriend right now
I forget what city
That was in
What happened
So
It's good to know
You're healed
You're healed
I'm healed now
Yeah it was a couple
The nuts were a couple months ago
The butt was a couple months before that
Yeah
And then the gut is just all the time
Yeah
It's the wheat man
I'm telling you
It's probably the gluten
A lot of people don't want to hear
I think it is the gluten
Telling you
It's fucking loaded with all kinds of chemicals and shit
They all say if you go to Italy
You can have the gluten no problem
Yeah
How was your gut in the motherland
it wasn't great
I was also drinking like every day
so it got you know
yeah it was the same pretty much
what if you change up your alcohol of choice
because I think maybe the beers
there's too much
uh that could be it
yeah it's tequila bro tequila is the move
McKeever had a real big issue
when we were uh
shit when we were in Philly
he started getting like this rash
and he had like inflammation and stuff
we figured out it was probably drinking eight
fucking IPAs a day
and he stopped
drinking IPAs and just went away.
I could do it.
So you could have a beer algae.
I don't know what your brain is.
It's probably gluten.
Yeah.
I drink a lot of Lone Star.
Yeah.
Switch it up.
Might have to switch to course bank.
Get some fucking.
Drink a mess cow soda.
I have been drinking more cocktails lately.
Because it makes me feel better.
Yeah.
Yeah, ranch water, man.
Ranch water's great.
I fucking love Ranch waters.
I might switch to cocktails.
Yeah.
Just do a ranch water.
And tell them, like, don't be a hero.
And try to give me like a triple.
give me a single shot on
a lot of bars just have them already in cans
for you so it's like it's 5%
the same as most of them
unless it's like cut water
and that's like fucking 11, 12%
and then you're fucking beat.
He's dropping Xanax in there.
Some of them you see it like fucking 14%.
Dude what do you want to me and punch my wife
like fucking chill with that.
First of all you chill with that.
Exactly what I want to do.
I don't want to have to drink seven fucking
yeah but they're saying like you know the reason
guys get unemployed and like statistically
are more likely to hit their wife.
If you give them a triple-strength beer,
I think the numbers back up my argument
that I am more inclined after the couple of those
hit my wife than I would be able to us.
That's why there's no more hammock out there.
Jokeslammed to the heaven.
Oh my God, a joke-slown to the heaven.
A nap? You're having a nap?
That's so funny to be like,
I didn't want to hit her,
but I just had that 14% cut water,
and it was totally out of my head.
Statistically, it pushed me over the, you know,
the median average or whatever.
I'm all about the numbers.
Yeah.
It's all math.
We boil it down,
dude, it's all math.
Well,
that's,
that's all I do
when I'm shopping for a seltzer
or a cider.
It's just math.
It's been like,
how many of these
I'm going to have to put down?
Yeah.
How much bubbles are we talking here?
Because that's a lot on the tummy.
Bubbles get your bubbles.
A lot of the teeth.
Yeah.
On the asshole.
Yep,
yeah.
So I'm going to have to shit
if I have six of these.
Yeah.
Because they're four and a half percent.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah,
it's just so funny.
which there's so much extra stuff like
if I just have tequila with some lime juice
yeah you just shrink all that extra
stuff that's in it you get straight to the point
you don't have to the problem is gets away from you
I'm good at like
calling it a day on those things but
I can when the liquor I do
still have my critical point if I pass like that four
drink mark the brakes come off
and you put me on a beach during the daytime
all bets are off I have that
pre-workout personality
those first three
fly, dude.
Yeah.
The first drink, see you.
You might as well order two.
See, I know.
And act like someone's coming.
I know before I drink.
I'll have a feeling where I go like,
I'm going to get after it versus kind of being like,
I'll go out and have a couple and come home.
But if it's like sunny out, daytime, daytime activity, it's like, good night.
Podcast is daytime activity.
Yeah, true.
It's like, good night.
You want to pop?
No, I'm all right.
Thank you.
All right.
Those will make you be hanging.
Yeah.
Ciders, I like, I like ciders.
They're dry.
The dry ones are better.
They're not as sweet, but...
This is still sweet for me.
Yeah, they are.
You can only have so many.
That'll give you...
If you drink like six of those, dude, you will shit the next day.
Maybe if you drink six apple juice.
It is.
It's 5% though.
Mm-hmm.
150 calories.
Not bad.
Not too bad.
Just put a little messy on ice.
Tony, man, the can cut...
The canned, um, ranch waters.
They're not even the cut water brand.
I found canned ranch waters that are perfect.
They don't add.
Some of them are like pure agave.
then you look it up and it's like
it's sweetened with agave
it's just fucking rubbing alcohol
that bullshit shit they put in all the celtzers
it's like malt alcohol yeah yeah
that's why cup water is like the best
it's truly premium liquor
yeah it's not the fucking shit you'd you know
yeah I found one more
I found one more like that but they also
it's just 5% that's it it's like regular
agave tequila tequila club soda and just
you know is it a black can
I don't know
if I'm being no it's not black
This one is not black.
It's like yellow, blue.
We'll talk about it later.
I'll get a picture for my fridge.
I love those things.
Please, I'm always looking for the next brand.
Yeah, they call me.
They call to me all the time.
Yeah.
You see, I have my little outdoor mini fridge
and I'm always kind of like...
Why don't these guys
sponsored podcasts?
They should.
I don't know.
I feel like it all depends.
Sometimes if they're like a small company,
they just, you know, they don't have the budget.
Yeah.
The podcast advertising.
We've gotten a bunch of like non-alcoholic stuff,
but no one's like...
It's coming at us.
Yeah.
Like, what kind of not?
Like, just like regular beves?
Yeah.
I think these freaking guys are,
you think these freaking guys
would give me a shot.
I drink them on every podcast.
Do you really?
Yeah.
Well,
fucking say it.
Do you say it on the podcast?
I don't think that's a problem.
I don't think Mountain Valley
wants to align their company
with, you know,
some of my stuff.
With the funniest guys in the world?
You'd be surprised.
Speaking of,
you guys are number two,
that's fucking.
Yeah, for now.
Again, we go up and down.
We go up and down.
Yeah.
Sometimes we slum it around seven.
Yeah.
Pathetic.
What a cock sucker
I forget
It's just like every now and again
I'll get a text and be like sweet
Yeah
And whenever I go to show someone
I'm like check it out
I'm like you look
I'm like oh we fucking dropped again
Yeah
I'm a bitch
Well you got the world by the balls right now Matt
You know you can't be paying attention
The one thing
You got six fucking things going on
True
You know
That's true
Oh no I don't
No
For me it's all about the vibe
That's all I try to keep high man
It's all about the vibe
Yeah
Trying to get lost in the sauce
Yeah
It's too easy to
you know what I mean
that's what I'm saying
are you lost to the sauce yet
at all?
No not really
I'm just chilling for the most part
I gotta check on you
every now and then
I appreciate it yeah
I do get lost
every once in a while
but I always find my way back
you find your way back to center
nice
well today you're going to a haunted park
yeah I'm going to a haunted house
and I'm really scared about it
I wish you didn't bring it up
to be honest with you yeah
oh I can talk about my ass problems
you can't talk about a fucking haunted house
with eight year olds
I'm very scared where you're at uh I think it's in Buda oh you're going out there okay scare grounds
got you so you know yeah that's awesome it's one of those where like a fucking autistic kid chase you
with a shovel yeah I'm scared oh my god you have a right to defend yourself I might bring my firearm
and discharge it just a warning shot say watch it get stay away from me ghouls
I think dance a little I'm very scared because there's a lot of people going with us like all my
ladies friends and like comedians and stuff and I'm very scared I'm going
going to shriek, I'd be really embarrassed if I shrieked in front of all those people.
No cameras, dude. You got to lock them up.
Yeah. You can't. You can't be had. Take a beta blocker.
What is a beta blocker? Like, you make so your heart doesn't like go over a certain amount
of BPMs. Everyone's been pushing beta blockers on me. I'm like, I'm not fucking taking them.
What's the point of that? They take them for public speaking where you can take a beta blocker
and it makes it physically impossible for your heart to go over a certain beats per minute.
so even if you were to be nervous mentally
your body can't support your anxiety
it kind of just bottoms out if that makes sense
yeah but you do stand up
so I'm saying it I'm like I don't want to do that
that'd be fucking weird if I like
The whole point is to feel something like that's my
rush that's my take man
I'd be like and it's also like
God forbid I have to run
but I'm on a beta blocker
and now I'm fucking like
I don't just jog
because my heart's just like
don't boom
I'm like you're stuck in like
yeah I would think about it the whole time
I'd be like how fast
how fast is it going is it only going this
I don't know people are like
tossing those things out like oh dude they're the best yeah fuck that man dude that opening for
Shane that walk to the round no boy yeah that wouldn't be nice that wouldn't be bad to have a beta
blocker for that actually dude it feels like you're gonna have a heart attack for a second yeah
it's tough I don't know if you get like that but that's like yeah those big arenas freak me out
man every time I do that's the wildest feeling I've ever had my life yeah I was really scared
after two yeah it took me like three hours to not be scared after that I just kept
getting spun out about how like there's only so many people that have ever talked to that many
people in person at once that's a fair point it's kind of felt like hitler i was thinking like i should
have said something more important while i was up there yeah true or what if what you said you think
it's a good message but then later on you learn it's just as bad as what hitler were saying true
there's a video of you on in the round being like i don't know i was so scared i was with james
and i just like didn't talk which is out of character for me in the green one
Usually a chatterbox.
You usually have a chatterbox.
Life at the party.
I was so freaked out.
I'm going to go smoke again.
It is kind of, and it's like, I don't know, there's something about, if you throw
up like a mid set in a club, at least you can just get off stage and shake it off.
When you throw up a mid, it's almost getting like a national survey on your stuff.
A quarter of the city saw it.
And it turns out 25% of them kind of liked it.
And then, like, famous professional athletes come in, and you're just like...
Caitlin Clark was there.
Really?
Yeah.
Fuck.
That rules.
Wait, were you in Vegas?
No, it was in...
This is a while ago.
Indiana.
Indiana, yeah.
Yeah.
That's awesome.
We played in her house.
The Pacers Arena.
True.
Yeah, dude.
This is the house she built.
The house of Caitlin Clark did.
Did she come in the green room?
Yeah.
Oh, how she looked.
She looked nice.
Yeah.
And she's very friendly.
She watched us play UFC.
I was beating Shane, too, until she walked.
walked in and then I got nervous and I lost.
Classic excuse.
Yeah.
If Kaila wasn't here,
how tall is she?
She's probably like your height.
She's probably like just under six foot.
Okay.
Well, you're probably, yeah, around you guys.
Yeah, I'm just on her.
A little taller than me.
That's awesome.
I want to get my height measured again.
What do you think you got taller?
I think you're shrinking.
No, yeah, I think it was shrinking.
Really?
Yeah, I thought I was, I think I was five, ten and a half at one point.
You think you got taller?
I went back to back.
You're taller than me, aren't you?
I don't know.
I always assumed you were.
I'm 5'10.
I thought I was six.
I just assumed I was six feet for a while
and then someone measured me.
I was like, son of a bit.
It is true.
My mother's like 3-8 now, dude.
It's fucking crazy.
She's a little garden house in a shoe.
Were you worried you of pesciitis?
Italians do, I think, shrink more than mother.
I don't know what it is about you guys.
You try to do shrink.
It's the fucking anger on you.
your shoulders.
Press it down your spine.
I caught myself driving the other day and I was like...
Yeah, gripped up.
It was magically leather gloves on your head.
Oh.
I was telling Nick Murphy in the last pod.
It was at the Patreon, right?
We could talk about this.
I got pulled over by the cop.
What happened?
My first time I got pulled over.
It was Sunday after getting...
You've never been pulled over until...
No, no, in Austin.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, because there's no cops in the neighborhoods.
They're just all down six years.
Yeah, you don't see him.
cleaning up hookers and stuff yeah
scraping them up with a spatula
they have that thing at the fucking hockey
game that just comes down
the hooker zamboni
hooker zamboni
on six
there's his fucking heels
flying out
no I just got fucked up on Sunday
watching football
I bet I don't know how many
fucking mezcal sodas I had
for the Eagles game and then I watched
the second set of games
and I didn't have anything in the fridge
so me and my girl
and the dog get the truck
we go to the market
pick up some sighties
and the way home
you know the speed bumps
I know what you mean
yeah
did you catch your hair
so I know
dog goes flying
we gotta pick her up
no no I
I swerve into the bike lane
yeah
because I want to
yeah I got a Tacoma
so the width of the wheels
you can get around one of those boys
and it's a mild little
Yeah, give it to her.
I always sent him to Brittany's side.
She's like, will you start putting the speed bump on my side?
I'm driving.
Just went to home.
I didn't realize I was doing it to her.
I'd always go around and hit her side.
Well, we got pulled over.
We got pulled over.
On the rationing.
Yeah.
Who was driving?
I was driving.
You jumped out and switched seats.
No, I just slapped a piece of gum in.
Oh, nice.
And which is probably like the bread flag for all cops.
Smoked four cigarettes.
How do you?
just jumping.
Didn't even break the seal yet.
Did he get the wrapper on?
It's a spoon of peanut butter
and big red gum.
And I was
wildly calm.
Like I didn't fucking,
I didn't really consider
how much booze I had in my system.
Yeah, yeah.
And I think it's because my girl and my dog
were in the car.
The cop was like,
oh, this is a family man.
He could possibly be screaming the N-word
at the TV for fucking six hours.
That's funny.
And he just grabbed my,
He's like, you know, as long as you're not an ex-burner,
I'm just going to run this real quick and I'll let you go with a warning.
He said it before he ran the tick, the car.
You're just holding your breath.
This guy was, he was the fucking man.
That's cool.
Yeah.
And I thought that I was talking to see your face on this and go, oh, there's a drunk driver.
I'm going to get him next time.
The next day, I'm just going to swear.
What was the original pullover for?
He goes, I'm guessing you were trying to avoid the bumps.
I see you're swerving over there.
She said, yep, definitely not drunk.
Because you're going
You're going to the bike lane
You know, to avoid the bump bump
Yeah, she'd be like I was just trying to see if my vehicle
would turn into a bike
Once I went into the bike lane
Turns out it doesn't
That's cool.
He just kind of ran your stuff and...
Yeah, very rare.
Very rare that happens.
Again, that's a testament to, I believe,
the tequila because I feel like the beer
you would have been stanking.
Yeah, you're swollen, your eyes get bloodshot.
Yeah, you've been stanking up the car.
Little mezcal, they don't know that smell.
It smells like fucking burnt, weird.
stuff.
Yeah.
It smells like his wife.
Yeah.
He was Mexican.
I was picking that up.
You were putting it down.
She put a hat on a hat.
If I was a Texas cop, you best believe I've had a little fat little Mexican wife
way for being in home.
You best believe that.
Long day at work, homemade tortillas.
Oh, man.
It'd be so nice.
Look at the thick as palms, too.
Oh, yeah, just pressing.
Just making pasta.
They're mashing shit constantly.
Avocados.
sometimes you say something about
a race of people that I've never noticed before
and it's always not on
Some Mexican ladies have thick palms
Yeah, because they're fucking slamming down
I never thought of that before
You ever see like a plumber's hand or a carpenter
You got an uncle
And you shake your head and you're like
Oh, I feel like a little boy
Yeah
It's because he's constantly fucking gripping a wrench
You know
It's like there's little rubber things
That Rogan was trying to
You get a nice chin
What's that?
I've seen those before.
It's like a rubber thing you put in front of
your teeth and you just it's a stress
ball for your for your mouth yeah what's that called
and it built a jawing it's like
oh okay yeah yeah yeah yeah
you can build kind of like yeah
chad moustin face yeah that's why coke heads
have nice fucking jails yeah true
no teeth great jails
it's like
a dog underbite
what's your next move
Matthew
you're busy thanks for
thanks for coming by
please yeah dude I
nothing really dude
I'm trying to write a book
me and Pedro Salinas are writing a book right now
so we're almost done with that
I have I'm gonna put a secret present
on our Patreon Gargles Incorporated
which is a radio play about
a group of bikers who are once
just like badass bikers who stumbled on
a meth so powerful
it turned them all kind of gay
so that's really it's almost done
so I'm looking forward to that
and yeah from there
just like writing stuff really that's kind of my plan
that's awesome really just kind of just keep it rolling bro
kind of keep rocking and rolling.
It's kind of, you know.
Yeah.
What's a book about Pedro?
So it was actually the book that I self-published.
I was writing another one with Pedro and then, you know, I was like talking to a literary agent.
Like we're like, how we can do a two-book deal.
So I was like, let me go back and get the self-published one.
We're going to like a traditional publisher.
So I was like going back through the one I self-published.
And then I was like, it's going to take me forever to rework this.
So I just brought Pedro on.
I'm like, let's redo this one.
He ended up like completely changing it.
So it would be like a totally different story.
Yeah.
Can you say, what's the story about?
Yeah, the story is about a, so it's like a same as before where it was like a group of people living in Roxborough from like different backgrounds who kind of lives kind of clash together.
But this is around more so same thing, a guy who's growing weed, but he's like obsessed with this jam band.
And it's hard to say honestly.
I'm going to get, I don't want to get.
I can't summarize stories about giving way the whole plot.
Don't.
It's funny though.
I'm like really happy with it.
It's a, it's just a twist on the same story that we just, like, really changed a lot of stuff.
Yeah.
So it's pretty cool.
It's exciting.
I'm pretty happy.
I lived in Roxborough.
Me too.
Next to the shop, right on, uh.
Off Henry or Ridge have, which one?
Yeah.
I lived in Roxburgh for a couple years.
I liked it.
Yeah.
That's where I got the idea to write a book about Roxborough.
Oh, that's where I got in the face of the bottle.
It is rough.
It's where I got 50 stitches.
My fucking face.
I remember my neighbor calling the mailman a slur.
Yeah.
I was thinking like, damn, that's pretty intense.
You're just dropping off the mail.
Oh, my God.
As soon as the mailman left and he, like, talked to my other neighbor,
hit him with the sand one.
Oh, my God.
I was calling him a sand guy.
Oh, no.
Yeah, and I was just like walking around like, God damn, bro.
Those guys are heroes to me.
This is Tuesday afternoon.
You're hitting a mailman with calling him a sand guy.
I go out of my way to tip my cap to those guys.
They're not even delivering a mail.
I'll slow down.
Especially trudging Roxborough is a hilly terrain.
It's like, the guy's walking 15 miles a day up,
slugging uphill.
I know because I walk dogs in Roxborough.
It's, you know, anyone, any walk-based job, I had respect for it.
You can't move your car in the winter.
I wouldn't call him a sand guy behind his back when he left.
That's just what I'm called for.
Yeah.
Just for no reason.
Yeah.
The guy left and, yeah, he was in fact kind of Middle Eastern.
And the guy just like, they're having a conversation.
He just stopped.
Yeah.
I got the, like, quarantine brain for people that deliver stuff.
You remember during quarantine?
Amazon was still rocking.
Yeah.
People would bang pots and pants for him and shit.
Oh, yeah.
It wasn't just the nurses.
They were like celebrating.
Yeah.
Amazon, yeah, yeah, I still feel that way.
I was essentially working during, yeah, I was, I didn't stop, I didn't, I didn't, I was,
I was selling weed during the pandemic. Yeah, nothing's, I just, I just would go to people's houses
and like, yeah, I never got a fucking parade. I had a show on Kumiya's network.
Oh, did you really? Yeah, you fucking worked through. It kept me alive. Nice. I was,
I got a picture in, uh, Times Square. There's no one around. It's awesome. Oh, that's pretty
cool. Just desolate. I would get on the train, no one's on the train, drop off 30, you know, 34th.
That's awesome.
Walk to the studio.
It kind of looks like you photoshopped out all the Chinese people.
Yeah.
That's awesome.
The ultimate dream, dude.
Just like that.
You see them down there.
They love that place.
You put some big screens outside.
Oh, you wait.
They're fucking coming.
They're coming.
I just sign up for a dog park and they just put up a big screen.
I was like, that's not a good idea.
That's not a good idea.
The one group you don't want to come
to your dog park
but a fork a knife
too
put the screen down
you'll hear those
cannon
those cannon neck cameras
dude is coming
dude
you hear the cannon
just hitting someone
in the chest
as they come
you go oh my god
your water starts shaking
you know they're coming
just carrying a fucking
turn around
there's five of them
four inches behind you
you're like
Jesus
fucking nice
give me my personal space
I was
I'm from a non-personal space country.
I kind of,
that'd be a cool thing to just...
And not caring.
Yeah, I like that.
Yeah.
Get on a subway and just be like this close to a dude's face
and be like, what?
A Chinaman will just,
they'll jump in your back pocket.
It will jump in your back pocket.
In a fucking Starbucks.
You're like, there's no one behind me, dude.
I know.
You turn around.
He's just right here.
You're like, what are you doing?
Nothing gets Britney's fucking,
nothing gets Britney going.
And she'll get encroached upon by
an old Chinese lady.
and she'll just for real be like
excuse me
that's what my girl does
oh bro like you drive it
it's I'm like damn
I wish I grew up like that
it'd be so fun
you know I describe them as
uh
it would be
I describe them as like helium balloons
like the day after a birthday party
how so
like the way they walk
they're so unaware
socially of anybody
you said
that's so like
you know
when the balloon
loses helium
and it starts floating
and it drifts like this
that's how they walk down
the side
They have no ability to decipher another human being anywhere in their area.
Same thing with old immigrant women, the first generation immigrant women.
They get out their door with their fucking big heaters down there, their fucking knees,
and they just walk to where they have to go.
They walk to where they have to go, and nobody else is in their frame of reference or mind.
They just, they don't barrel right through you, you'll get hit with tit me.
They don't switch, you know, angles.
I do like the, when you see the old immigrant couples and the husband walks like 10 paces behind his life.
I always, I don't know what that's about, but I'm kind of, I'm for it too.
How do you pull that off?
My girl gets furious if I'm ahead of her.
Yeah, sure.
Furious, like a three-year-old.
Yeah.
So like, hey, babe.
And I'm like, I'm walking as slow as I possibly can.
Oh, dude.
And then they'll hit the jets on you too.
My wife will do that.
And then she'll hit the jets on me.
And I'm like, I'm back.
And then I go, and then I go, I know, I know you can do it.
True.
Now you're doing it on purpose.
Yeah.
But then you try to bring up.
something from a week ago.
She goes, why are you even talking about this?
Fuck.
Fuck.
I knew you were farting around yesterday.
I thought you could walk fast.
Yeah.
Yeah, she'll hit the jets on me, and I go slow-mo.
Yeah.
Turn into a slow-brough on her.
I like that.
And then I just wait until the...
I mean, it's one of my favorite moments is when she hits the jets, I hit the brakes,
and then eventually she's going to look back.
And she just sees me among the crowd, just lost.
Just a lot.
And she turns around.
I just go...
What do you do?
What's doing?
That's my favorite.
What time is, uh...
I can't stop staring
his fucking mesh meat.
He's going to...
Squeezing through the fucking holes.
Someone's going to grab it at the haunted trail.
You better...
You might put on some pants, dude.

That hogs are flopping.
Forgive me.

My eyes are up because of it.

opposite purely mexican yeah it's mexican dicks dude you go in there and it's just i swear to god
it's sporting goods hey jami look up what the dick and mexican is comote i think they used to
call it like a sweet potato but i could be wrong there's a bunch of words camote was the slang i picked up
working with some bros yeah they're fucking nice these are like industrial like crocs yeah so they're
like super thick they're for like standing all day
Yeah.
Somewhere like a fucking slaughterhouse.
Yeah.
The Lakers colors is a wild.
My kids painting them.
Oh, really?
They had, um, they got cowgirl boots and then the only pair left in my size didn't
have like a pink flower on it.
So I was like, just fucking paint your boots pink.
Yeah.
So then Chloe got jealous.
You have to paint her boots.
I was like paint my fucking crocs.
Oh, you're a good dad.
I like them though.
They look great.
Splash a color kind of pumps.
Yeah, it kind of pumps me up.
They're very artistic.
They are Lakers color now that you mentioned it.
I'm sorry.
Obviously it's for fucking.
Kobe, dude.
IP, man.
But yeah, so the place is cool because it's all sporting goods,
but then you can go get like industrial footwear too.
Yeah.
So it's for like working bros,
take the kids get a soccer ball and like,
I need new steel toe Wolverine boots.
Yeah.
They really have everything.
It's the weirdest store.
They have everything.
Maybe Dick says that too.
I don't know.
I don't win that story.
I don't think so.
Dix is a fucking sleeper, dude.
Dix's got some good stuff.
Don't make me say I love Dix because that's,
we got my dad on that one time.
He got pissed off.
He's like, he's like, I love that place.
Like, where do you love?
He's like, I love dicks.
I'm like, yeah, you guys think you're real funny, huh?
Is your dad still in the construction business?
Yeah, dude.
Waste management?
No, he does a demolition.
Oh, yeah.
They sold it, they sold the trash company to waste management a long time ago.
Oh, yeah.
So he just does demolition.
He still fucking does it.
Is that?
He loves working.
Is that what waste management does like any other industry?
They just look for like the smaller companies that have a big business.
Yeah, well, they did it, especially in the 90s because, I mean, I'm going to talk about
some waste management stuff.
It was owned for a while by Wayne Hizanga.
It was a guy who owned Blockbuster.
Sick name, dude.
He's a great entrepreneur.
Wayne Hazanga?
I believe that's the same.
He owned Blockbuster.
If he wasn't a shortstop from Venezuela, you've got to own a business team.
That's a baseball name, dude.
Dude, he got out, I believe at the right time of Blockbuster, he had that, sold that, bought
waste management, or he was somehow involved in waste management, but he went around the tri-state area.
I'm buying up every independent trash company in the waste management.
completely took over.
Damn.
Yeah.
Yeah. My dad, it was a sick move because he heard about people buying out businesses.
So he started buying independent trash companies knowing he was going to sell.
Yeah.
And then he got to sell those to waste management who had much deeper pockets and be like,
I got another one.
Do you want to do this?
He's not, is he retireable type money?
I think so.
I don't know.
My mom loves crying poor.
That's her biggest thing.
Yeah.
You've got to turn the air conditioning off.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How?
Well, the poor brain is just, it's permanent.
It's from her, from her youth.
she can have a million dollars and she's just like yeah
it's not going well if you talk to her
this guy's following yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you met Chris right
speaking up stop pitching about fucking O'Connor
he's gonna we're gonna turn this thing around
yeah and we're gonna be together again also it's life has seasons

we have to go
I gotta fly to PA
he's got to fly here
yeah yeah Zoom is tough
Zoom's tough it is tough
it's so much more convenient
but it's tough
it's very tough
why don't they change that
why do they make you stare at your own fucking face
too yeah it's not helpful when you're trying to
concentrate and talk and you're just like
well you could turn that feature off
you just load it up with whoever
else is on the screen oh yeah I guess you could maximize
the other person yeah I don't want to look that
closely at someone else's facing to though
I knew you'd find something else.
But have you ever talked to someone the whole time
where you're literally like, yes, hello, hi.
Yeah.
Yeah, I fucked a lot of those girls.
They're fucking, they're hard to run from, dude.
They'll be in your pocket like an Asian.
You know that about Asians?
No, I didn't.
You never gotten bumped into?
I'm sure I have.
I celebrate cultural differences.
I'm saying this in celebration.
So don't get a misconstrued.
No, no, I'm not.
It tickles me when I'm at a target,
and I turn it right when I
when I smell
Pickled in your neck
That's another one I saw right too
They love jarred goods

You put a thing in a jar
For like four months bro
They're gonna go
God damn what the fuck is that
Are those six month old carrots
And liquid

Which is you know
They know a lot about health dude
So
We can learn a thing or two
I'm celebrating
I don't get a misconstrued

No, of course.
It's also just, it is what it is.
We're just telling the facts.

The correlation with what we're talking about.
Also, you're not supposed to smelt plastic in your oven.
They're like, cool new toy.
100%.
Checking on it every five minutes, just breathing it in.
What were the other ones that came in like a tiny pill?
You put it in water and would be like a dinosaur.
They still have those.
Those are sick.
Really?
Yeah, you can throw the pill in and let it.
Yeah, they're still in like vending machines.
Oh, no shit.
you can grow a cool thing they also nobody gives a fuck you do that and a kid just is like wow
nowadays yeah yeah no they're into it but it's like as soon as it's done they're like all right
fucking yeah there's nothing to do with it like we just wait it two days for that tolerance for kids
and games and toys must be nuts right how much money you spend it on like yeah you really don't
