Starting point is 00:02:51 Pool basketball. Yeah. The three of us played some pretty dope catch for a while yesterday. Everybody else brought their kids and was eating too much hamburger meat. Me and the boys tossed around the pill for about three straight hours. It'd be nice to throw it at them but it really is just the best solution to social anxiety like you want to go run away and throw this football in the car it truly is every birthday i've been to my entire life it's literally just like you want to go off in the distance and just
Starting point is 00:03:20 throw something throwing a football at a family party is like going to a cocktail hour at a wedding you don't want to be at it's like yeah i'll show up you're gonna see my face yeah but i'm gonna get plastered with this little bar and then fuck off i will say i felt a little bit like we we changed the flight pattern of the ball after a bit i felt a little bit like a degenerate at the beginning of the party we're throwing it over babies we're throwing it over babies. We're throwing it right over newborn babies. We're like, dude, great catch. You were throwing directly with Rosebud's brand new baby.
Starting point is 00:03:51 But in my defense, dropping them. That's the closest you get to a real life football experience. Baby's like a middle linebacker. You gotta get him. To clean the line of sight. Of a soft skull. Baby's like a middle linebacker. You got to get a baby. To clean the line of sight. Of its soft skull.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Baby's in cover too. Damn. Toddlers are coming out in a nickel package. Put another dent in a toddler's soft skull. Yeah. How fucking embarrassing would that be? Yeah, they have to wear one of those helmet things, not from birth, but like, no, I got hit by a football at a hot tub party.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Yeah, with the Shane Gillis. Handicapped from a football toss. You're getting mad. Fucking minnows in press coverage right now. It's just a kid eating Pirate's Booty. Like, this motherfucker's just going man dude people were going in on the pirates booty yesterday there's something comforting about it dude it's the best snack
Starting point is 00:04:53 maybe ever made that's just white cheddar popcorn right no it's it's like a it's a cheese puff yeah but it's a puff but it tastes like white cheddar popcorn. Yeah. Yeah. It's incredible. It's incredible. But is it shaped differently? This whole thing is like the roast. It's like little nuggets. It's like little kind of nuggets. But it's not.
Starting point is 00:05:13 It's like, it's lighter than a, it's lighter than like. I told you I was going to suck today. I fucking warned you. I got nothing. Dude, it's. I'm so sore. Dude, this is the beginning of the podcast, dude. I know, he's catch ready, dude.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Don't put that bad energy for the whole rest. This is where I want to go. I'm going to go outside and have a fucking catch. You know what, guys? We got to start this over. I couldn't wash my hair. I washed my hair with my head in my lap because I can't get my shoulder. You were that tired?
Starting point is 00:05:39 Dude, we threw a football for three and a half, four hours. Yeah, after you left. I went in the pool for four straight hours shooting nonstop. Everybody left the pool. I was in there for another hour and a half. I was dynamite. You're trying out for that imaginary team that you're never going to
Starting point is 00:05:55 I was. I'm going to make the water basketball team. Dude, the only shot I missed was when Shane got a FaceTime from Jack Harlow. Oh, yeah. And he turns around and he goes, I don't know if we should probably delete this, but he turns around and he goes, hey, Tommy, shoot.
Starting point is 00:06:11 And I was like. You missed it in front of Jack Harlow. I'm on for Jack. I was like 19 for 20. I'm not kidding you. Wow. From threes. Wow.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Wet, wet, wet. Jack's face. Bang. Hoping Jack listens to this listens he was 10 for 20 he was shooting 40% you weren't there 40% for three
Starting point is 00:06:32 the end of that I was locked in no fucking riff raff around me just me in the center of the fucking rim you're like you're like
Starting point is 00:06:39 white man can't jump the sequel is just as good as the original it's just as good as the original just as good as the original that's why I missed it because I was lying yeah yeah yeah white man can't jump the sequel is just as good as the original. It's just as good as the original. That's why I missed it because I was lying. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:51 That would be sick. If they did a remake that was all water basketball. Oh, dude. Different movie altogether. Yeah. Showing up to the pool. You know what it would be? It's black man can't do water ball. It's a reverse.
Starting point is 00:07:03 Hey, I choose that guy. It's all about a black dude finally figuring out how to do water ball. It's a black dude with floaties in the corner of the pool like, I don't know. It's just a mayor
Starting point is 00:07:14 holding floaters. Somehow he can drain a hook shot. Yeah, you can flip the whole white man can't jump just putting water. Yeah. It's so racially profiling but it's so true and good
Starting point is 00:07:26 It would be very funny I think people would watch it Yeah it'd be like Kingpin when they show up to the rich guy's house And he's got his own bowling alley All the games would be like that You show up to like That's a fucking dynamite sketch A black guy playing water ball
Starting point is 00:07:42 Water ball That's all we do is we say that'd be a good sketch And then we never do anything about it Then we don't shoot it A black guy playing water ball? Yeah. Water ball? Yeah. That's all we do is we say, that'd be a good sketch, and then we never do anything about it. Then we don't shoot it? Then we don't shoot it. Yeah, yeah. We'll start making a log. We'll start making a log ball. Oh, they're out there.
Starting point is 00:07:54 Okay. Yeah. They're all my fun things I never do. One of the stuff I don't listen to. One of our producers is going to go through the footage. Give us a list. Yeah, yeah. That requires logistics and schedule. And and care you know what you're gonna
Starting point is 00:08:06 have to email beth about that yeah yeah yeah she got fired danny's the new guy went back to real men men get the job done hey when you set up your cameras at the creek before your big show tonight yeah were there any ladies setting up the cameras no uh-huh no i asked uh-huh nobody came uh-huh there was only one of those and she got shot by he's sending a message yeah you tell the others he's better be the latest broad i see on a set that's the next big conspiracy hollywood yeah sending a message i think you think you can do this yeah right it's not by chance anymore it keeps happening another we got one of our best men on it i love how he just dodged the bullet

Starting point is 00:09:43 you like take a beat you go through the whole check process again and like reload it properly and he was like he was like let's go let's go let's go i want to do another take but it's still like well then who someone just put live rounds yeah it's like how is that how is it you would never think that by hurrying the process you might why would you just why would you have live rounds on set? Anywhere near. Was it a live round? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:08 No, it was a live round. Dude, it went through the camera. It went down the lens. Oh, my God. Through the camera and out the other side. Do they have that scene in... Do they have the footage? Sorry, I'm just...
Starting point is 00:10:23 Our producers lost it. It's got to be somewhere i mean that's that sucks in court yeah just looking right down the barrel of a camera yeah assassinating so much the editor's like you're sure you want this as a real you sure there's video of uh i just watched all a murder there's a journalist filming i forget what fucking country it was and this guy's like protecting a government building and he just starts shooting at protesters and then goes like this and you just see the flash bomb this girl like was videotaping her own death oh sick it was like uh so you just started ryan. Or that movie Sniper. Yeah. Right through the fucking... Where it goes through the scope into his head. Pretty sweet. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Now we're getting there. Now we're getting somewhere. Now we're getting somewhere. Being like a war journalist is crazy. Yeah. Especially out there. They don't fucking care. They don't care what helmet color you're wearing.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're getting it sold off for guards. I always thought about that too. Being like a medic. Like you're not supposed to shoot medics. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I always thought about that too, being like a medic. Like you're not supposed to shoot medics. Yeah. Just at D-Day
Starting point is 00:11:28 and you've got like the red cross on your helmet being like, I'll be fine. Yeah, fuck that. Anybody can get it. Yeah. I'd be like,
Starting point is 00:11:35 I was aiming for the guy who was helping. Sorry. He was helping everybody. They were getting back up. Because you can shoot the medic and then get some more morphine for you and your boys.
Starting point is 00:11:43 Whoa. Steal his patches. It's a video game in real life now. Yeah. You send me to war, I'm not listening to anybody. What's war? As soon as I go around that corner behind that mountain, I'm raping, pillaging, and murdering. Dude, you're the first guy from back in history when back in the day they used to just march straight at each other. And Tommy's like, I got a crazy idea.
Starting point is 00:12:04 Guerrilla warfare. what if we ran around what if we hide behind this tree you fucking morons like tommy shut up it is so funny that like it was just considered that was the etiquette yeah it was rude yeah yeah that was the it was rude not to yeah well you're also a pussy they were saying you're a bitch. Yeah. If you like crawl. Same with the duels back in the day for, yeah. Yeah. Like cowboy duels and stuff like that. Yeah. And even just marching back to back and it's great.
Starting point is 00:12:32 You see that duel tip of, I saw like this historical, I'm really fucking shit in the bed. Who's the two presidents that dueled? It was Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton, right? Yeah. Well, those dudes hated each other nice oh yeah i'd like it's just the got milk commercial is stuck in my head do you remember that got milk commercial no no where the guy's like sitting in like uh he's sitting in like a little like store i guess but the whole thing it's like a museum almost of just like alexander hamilton and aaron burr stuff and like the radio he's like listening to whole thing, it's like a museum almost of just like Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr stuff.
Starting point is 00:13:06 And like the radio, he's like listening to the radio and it's like, okay, today's question for $1 million, who killed Alexander Hamilton? And he's like eating cookies or something. And he doesn't have milk. He can't get it out. He's like, oh, boo. Oh, boo. And they're like, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:13:32 It's like, got milk yeah anyway back when they dueled apparently they were in a fight like the night before or the earlier that night somewhere one of them shot the other and he came back in and like when they got to the duel as presidents, the idea is like you miss and you go, ah, it's like a scrap. Yeah. Yeah. You miss on purpose and go, I got it out of my system. You know what? We can fuck off now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:54 Well, let's get, let's get all this behind us. And one of them was like, nah, bah, killed him. Oh damn. Whoever took the bullet. Burr. Yeah. Yeah. I guess.
Starting point is 00:14:03 I mean, no, Alexander Hamilton. Key to the moment yeah you're getting shot i'm saying there's no rules yeah it's almost like dueling makes more sense today than it does because back then you could like get an infection and so you could die even just but if you had like medical staff on site you hit someone in the leg they'll save you you know what i mean yeah it's like it's weirder back then to do it like that. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Just less rules, man. Dude, here's the crazy thing.
Starting point is 00:14:29 When do you think the last time someone was publicly executed by a guillotine was? Do you have the fact? Yes. Dude, it's probably a weird loophole law in Virginia where it happened five years ago or something. We're like, wait wait that's still you know how states have those random laws that like still you can marry a five-year-old yes can you uh don't ask me why i know that one uh what what country our country no okay no i don't think anyone was ever guillotined here. I'll say Japan, 1950s. No.
Starting point is 00:15:10 All right, hold on. Let's go sand. You know the actual answer. You got to go Middle East. That's what you'd think. Fuck! Yeah. Russia?
Starting point is 00:15:22 Nope. Britain? No. China? No. China? Russia? Nope. Britain? No. China? No. China? Russia? Are you serious?
Starting point is 00:15:29 Oh, wait. France. What? Okay. France. France. 1977. Publicly?
Starting point is 00:15:37 Yes. No. Yes. You got to watch it. I guess. I haven't looked for footage anywhere. That's my Super Bowl. 1977.
Starting point is 00:15:44 Did you buy tickets? Was there like... Dude, people turned off the Brady Bunch and watched the guy get his head lopped off. Oh, I... That fucking rules. I guarantee you if that was like a normal thing, like that would be the highest rated thing. Oh.
Starting point is 00:15:58 For sure. Yeah. I mean, how? The only one I have trouble watching in terms of like murders are the stone to death when they bury them to their shoulders and they just see this dude squirm until he gets smoked with the right precise rock.
Starting point is 00:16:14 It takes a while, dude. Because the villagers don't, they're not athletes. Oh, you're saying they're buried. Yeah, they put like, there'll be a guy in the ground where the painting is and they'll just have a circle of all varying size rocks. Some you have to
Starting point is 00:16:28 haul over your head like this. Others, and it starts with the ring. The circumference is pretty far. So it's like a sad dunk tank. It's a sad... It's the saddest dunk tank. Dude, I would be the guy
Starting point is 00:16:44 like, yeah, you can't hit me Yeah you suck Your girlfriend thinks You're a pussy What are you gonna do fatty You got nothing I'm gonna swing it dude That's how I was started
Starting point is 00:16:56 Cause you wanna get killed fast It's a brilliant thing Start taunting everybody Yeah Your wife's got a mustache That would be so funny Your wife's got a better arm than you. You're the one that kills the guy and you get that stuffed animal?
Starting point is 00:17:12 That's the story of why this is here. But at least that's happening in some weird Middle Eastern weird village. It's an archaic land. France, 1977. That's crazy. What did he do? I think he was raping and killing people. He was a real problem.
Starting point is 00:17:32 I mean, I hope. I feel like we should do that every once in a while. When someone's obviously guilty, it's on camera, and they're a terrible person. You see that guy in Seattle yesterday or today? He was trying to meet two young girls, like five and 11, six and 11 at a hotel. Open the door.
Starting point is 00:17:54 The cops were already there. And he starts pulling out a gun. I don't know if it was going to be suicide by cop or he's going to blow his own fucking brains out. No, this is his life's over. And the one cop grabbed his arm and the other cops just started shooting under him. And then they all back off and put like 30 in the room. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Jesus Christ. Beautiful. Yeah. How do you meet up with a six-year-old? Yeah. How do you get in touch with a six-year-old? I mean, how do you... The cops are working with this organization
Starting point is 00:18:24 that was, I guess they're talking to the 11-year-old. So this is like an ongoing investigation. They finally got this guy to meet them at a fucking hotel. So this guy was clearly interacting with, on, you know, social media or somehow with the 11-year-old.
Starting point is 00:18:41 And the 11-year-old was like, look, you get here now, I can toss in my sister. Whoa. They probably had to up the ante because now, I can toss in my sister. Whoa. They probably had to opt the ante because he wasn't making any movements. Yeah. Yeah. I got younger for you, so now you have two. That's rough.
Starting point is 00:18:53 That's so weird. That's a BYO for fucking paddies. Yeah. It's so weird. Yeah, the cops being like, well, maybe we offer some type of deal. Yeah. We got a BOGO on kids, all right? If you come right now to the hotel,
Starting point is 00:19:05 not just me, but my six-year-old sister, I'll throw right in. Listen, for a limited time only. Yeah, dude, he just kept kidnapping girls. Oh, the neighbor. Kidnapping girls and forcing them into prostitution. Oh, he was their pimp, too? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:22 It was like trafficking stuff? Good grief. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was terrible. He was a terrible dude. Does he have a face? I want to see what his body is. His name is Hamida Jandoubi. Does he have a face?

Starting point is 00:22:22 So earlier, well, now, was it? was it mid last year yeah towards the end of the year it was october it was october october because that's when the the series was yeah okay so the phillies are on the world series obviously our boy tommy pope very excited that the phillies are in the world series. Now, I booked him long in advance for stand-up on the spot before I realized that those were going to coincide with each other.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Nobody knew they would coincide. It was a hell of a run. For people that don't know, it's a wonderful show that's taped live. It's a huge production. It's a big to-do. It's an honor to be asked to do it in the first place. You've got to show respect. That's a press conference.
Starting point is 00:23:12 Hold on. I let my team down. Dude, I just started handing out envelopes and pulling mine out on my bud Dwyer myself. For the fucking listeners that don't understand
Starting point is 00:23:26 what stand up on the spot is, you go on stage. No prepared material. You ask the audience for suggestions. They yell out suggestions and you create stand up on the spot based off those audience suggestions.
Starting point is 00:23:36 Yeah. Well, go ahead. So, the Phillies start losing the World Series and it's becoming very clear as the night goes on. Well,
Starting point is 00:23:50 you were there. I was there earlier in the day with y'all. Yes. He, he was there two days before that. He flew in from LA. What was it? Game four.
Starting point is 00:23:59 It was NLCS. I'm pretty sure. Game four. Game four. Yeah. And we lost that night. And we had to win the next night. Yes, had to.
Starting point is 00:24:11 And I looked at Foley, or who was on the couch, it doesn't matter. And I looked at you and I went, you know what this means? Tomorrow might be a bit of a problem. And I go, what do you... What are you talking about? I go, what do you... What are you talking about? I go, what do you mean?
Starting point is 00:24:27 I said, tomorrow's an elimination game, and if it's not going well, timing-wise, it might not line up. He goes, I don't know if I'm going to be in the right headspace. I'm like, what does that mean? I might be a little stressed. It means I'm an immature child that can't let go of a loss.
Starting point is 00:24:46 I buried my team that night. he's literally also sitting on a couch in a room where there's holes in the wall from you punching punching holes in the wall from previous it's extra storage so the show is go the show is going great for the taping that we were doing it It's a fantastic taping, right? I didn't watch any of the show. Yeah, he's in the bar. So I don't know how the show actually works. You take that back. You take that back.
Starting point is 00:25:18 I explained this, dude, so many times. I'll let you talk about the Phillies and everything else, but the amount of times I freaking explain how the show works, you're not going to say that in front of everybody. It's also not that complicated of instructions. It's really not. It's not. I reminded him. All I had to do was watch.
Starting point is 00:25:31 And he goes like this. He goes, sit in there. You'll see a couple comics. And I'm just on the phone at the bar like, fuck. But also, I explained it at that time, too, as a reminder. I wasn't listening. I don't care. I saw you at your guy's place in Philly while we were watching the Phillies.
Starting point is 00:25:48 And then I reminded you at the venue again how the show worked. Look, I'm saying I was wrong. But what I'm also saying is at the time, you were Charlie Brown's mom to me, dude. I was just locked in on something else. So I just went, all right, well. So I introduced Tommy to the stage. And already, like, I kind of, like, when I was checking on him, I'm like, hey, I just lit the last comic.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Like, kind of like, you good? And he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's giving me one of those. He's like looking at his mind. Yeah, he's like. And I'm like, I don't know. He. I don't know what's about to happen.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Tommy, this is like we're taping the show. We tape it for YouTube, and we try to make it look and sound and make it as good of a production as possible. Tommy walks on watching his phone to the stage. The game wasn't over. The game wasn't over. The game wasn't over. He watches in real time. The Phillies lose. And then he throws his phone on the stool.
Starting point is 00:26:52 He's like, oh, this is going to be great. He goes, all right. And then he doesn't take suggestions. He starts doing material. And he does a 10- minute bit on 9-11. It's my favorite bit. But literally everyone in the back is like, they have no context for him watching into a 9-11 bit. It's so funny.
Starting point is 00:27:16 So they're all watching. And I'm sure the bit does very well in a show where it's just a show where people are expecting material but people are like is he okay he's like talking about 9-11 for so long people are trying to offer suggestions can you stop please stop talking about 9-11 yeah dude give me another tragedy who wants another tragedy also i just love that it's like this is a thing you're gonna have to add to the email you send to people about like the rules of the show. Don't watch live television. Don't bring your phone on and watch the World Series
Starting point is 00:27:49 while we're doing the tape. That would be appreciated. That would be great. Sorry. So then I try to save the situation because he does the 9-11 thing. It does alright for him doing material on a show that's a no material show. And people are clapping. Alright, we We like Tommy, whatever.
Starting point is 00:28:06 I go back on stage and I go, you know, you didn't do the format at all. I call him out on stage. Yeah. And he goes, what do you mean? I'm like, I re-explained him on stage. I go, I'm going to leave the stage now and I'm going to let you do the format of the show. Yeah. And then I leave and let him do it for a little bit.
Starting point is 00:28:24 I come back on stage and I join him and we're trying to get like a duo going. And he's just looking at me like it's not going to happen. Whatever you're trying to salvage with your editing, with whatever your reentrances to the stage, like we ended up like between like his set and then me on stage. It was like a 20, 25-minute chunk of the show that we were trying to like. I was trying to repair it. I love him. Get something out of this. Yeah, I want to get something out of it. And I love Tommy. I think he's hilarious.
Starting point is 00:28:55 I want to feature him on the show. And he just looked at me a couple times like, whatever you're doing right now, it's never gonna work tonight yeah dude i'm in a different headspace i'll tell you what it's one of those things where like your secret blackout yeah but i was because i remember all this and i what i do is i black out from wanting wanting to have any fun it's like you don't realize what we do is so childish and dumb until like you see real life happen you know yeah like this right now he's next to a fucking teddy bear talking about donuts like what my what our grandfathers did you know what i mean losing that game and that series
Starting point is 00:29:37 i immediately was like this this is so fucking gay it all look at all this shit everybody around me i hate it blacked out. That's blacked out. That's Tommy's blackout. Yeah, that's like an anger blackout. Yeah, it's a prop. Yeah. Tommy goes, well, we're going to do it next month. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:51 Yeah. No sports? But here's the thing. Here's the thing. I told Tommy, he's going to do the Netflix is a joke, stand up on the spot at the comedy store. He's going to get a redemption set in. When is this happening?
Starting point is 00:30:04 May 2nd. Thursday, May 2nd at the Comedy Store in LA. Sixers playoffs? You might want to kick that out. Let's get some early season Eagles football. That's so funny. Every time he does a show,
Starting point is 00:30:23 it's like, dude, it was the women's lacrosse championship of Philly. I don't know, man. I don't know what happened. It's going to be like game seven, Knicks, Sixers. That I haven't been following all season, so that I won't. Sixers, I don't kill myself until they're close to the championship. But yeah, Tommy and I, we exchanged some words over the phone like right after it happened like uh and then the next day i called him around i'm like dude we're good i love you
Starting point is 00:30:51 but you did screw it over the show just a little bit sorry dude there was but here's the thing i've never seen jeremiah hot and yeah like he after the show he's, yeah, you fucked up. And I was like, oh, my God. I never saw dad do that. I know, I know. And then I got home and texted him. Everything started wearing off. And I was like, dude, I hurt this kid's feelings. I started to send him texts like, do you hate me?
Starting point is 00:31:19 Am I in trouble? I'm like, I love you. We're good. But I said, I'm upset. I'm not going to lie that I'm not upset. I said, we'll fix it. We'll fix it in the future. Because he texts me right away after the show. And he goes, yeah, you can't post any of that.
Starting point is 00:31:32 I go, you think? Like, I'm going to ask you to. Oh, please, Tommy. Please let me include this in the show. Is it cool if we put this together? This thing that I was mad at you in real time about? Oh, yeah. this thing that i was mad at you in real time oh yeah but yeah the so the um the mothership does the bottom of the barrel show which is a similar vibe to that where you pull out suggestions out of a barrel and that that's the most fun yeah i have not blacked out yeah well shane also i talked to shane about it uh yesterday uh at his place and he goes he
Starting point is 00:32:07 was also tommy at that time when you had him on stand up on the spot he wasn't as active doing spots as he is right now right one million percent so he goes he goes because i told him i go i'm gonna have him on in may do it in la and he goes dude it's gonna go night and day difference yeah yeah that's his wheelhouse i'm and day difference that's his wheelhouse I'm like I know that's his wheelhouse I've podcasted with him many times but it is true because I haven't been doing stand up outside of like opening for him or like Chris and I randomly last year
Starting point is 00:32:34 but it is a different thing I mean you attested this like just getting up and getting that muscle going just the confidence it's fucking nuts I love that show but no there was a bunch of comments though they were like what happened to tommy pope yeah yeah because they saw you on the flyer and stuff like that and i'm like yeah i'm like we'll

Starting point is 00:33:11 Something different. Yeah. Chris and I spoke on the phone the next day right after that, and we were laughing. He goes, he did what? He goes, oh, no. He blacked out. He's not going to remember any of this. You can suggest this. You can be like, Tommy, I got a bunch of chocolate. Do you want to eat it. He's not going to remember any of this. You can suggest this.
Starting point is 00:33:26 You can be like, Tommy, I got a bunch of chocolate. Do you want to eat it? He's like, chocolate sucks. I hate chocolate. My team losing drunk is like Chris blacked out on whiskey. Just anger. There's no lights. There's nothing behind the eyes.
Starting point is 00:33:43 I'll cut a head off in France. There's got to be footage of that. It had to be televised. Dude, yes. Absolutely. Which beheading? Mine or the French guy? Yeah, we'll do a side-by-side. Like those clips where it has someone playing video games or anything. And people reacting
Starting point is 00:34:03 to Tommy's set. They're like, oh! I keep watching. Don't do it! Don't do it! those clips where it has like someone playing video games and people reacting to tommy said he's doing material you flip it over to the guillotine you're like wow it's neat what year is this wild dude yeah public executions when was the last time you threw that long a football? Sorry. Every time we do it. Do you always go as long as your arm will let you? Yeah, but I did shoulders two days ago and then I did chest yesterday.

Starting point is 00:34:52 Who's not trying to be an athlete. It's not good for pool ball. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's built for what it's supposed to be. If you're not trying to jump off the stairs and dunk, it's pretty safe. That's what the stairs are good for. You can reach the net from the steps with a good leap. Dude, I did that too.
Starting point is 00:35:06 Just jumping sideways, trying to hit like a fadeaway. Oh, dude, of course. Just slam into the stairs. Yeah. Pool ball. That rim was not forgiving, though. Who designed this pool? And pool ball, like, I was used to pool ball growing up
Starting point is 00:35:18 with the little tykes. Cooch had an above-ground pool with two little tykes on the end. Nets. Oh, really? So you had to, it was like. Full court? Yeah. Wait, the floating ones the end. Oh, really? Full court? Yeah. Wait, the floating ones?
Starting point is 00:35:27 No. Did you ever play with those? Huh? The floating baskets? No. Did you ever play with those? No. You play like a full...
Starting point is 00:35:35 It was like the net was like floating like on almost like pipe and then it would drift and then you would have to time it occasionally. Yeah, it'd moving with yeah yeah yeah well the football i grew up on we had a little tight stance you had that tiny little orange ball yeah it's like it's like how shack can't shoot a free throw it's smaller yet the harder it is shane's court that's a full-size basketball you can lock in quick yeah it's fun baby i was come on i i still i dude i i got water in my ear from getting like dunked and shit now you got to get out right away who was dunking

Dude, I was in Mitzi's last night talking to like Gagnon and Derek Post and just being like, I don't know how loud I'm talking. Right. Yeah, yeah. Because you know you have to talk a little bit louder to get like above just bar noise.
Starting point is 00:36:36 Yep. I can't hear a thing screaming at these guys. They're both just like. You got to do that bed. Oh, the. Fish on a dock. Yeah. You just jump as high as you can. do that bed fish on a dock you just jump as high as you can you smack your head on a bed

Starting point is 00:37:05 Yeah. That's crazy. How do you live with it? Dude, of course you were like, I don't know. There's literally still water. I thought you just happened to be like a long day at the pool. No, I can't. You probably had waterlogged ears like every other month when you were a kid.
Starting point is 00:37:21 Everybody probably thought you were a little off. Dude, no. It only started happening like in college. When I got so fat, I had to swim to get in shape again. Didn't you go to France and eat like 30 pounds? I was just eating cheese. I mean, bread and cheese, man. I lived in Switzerland for a while and I was just eating cheese.
Starting point is 00:37:41 But not adopting the European lifestyle, walking after all the meals. I was just fondue every day did you uh you have pictures of fat chris uh i don't think so they're out there i don't know they're out there there's footage it was it was pre like phone camera stuff oh gotcha so it'd be disposable yeah yeah yeah you'd have to find it my mom was real big on disposables really yeah we've got a crazy amount of photos from my childhood because she would always like dude that was like her thing she would like get at walmart like they'd take i think like 29 or 30 photos yeah we used to have those yeah It was great. At some point, my brother was like, taking pictures sucks. There's like a section of our childhood, no photo.
Starting point is 00:38:31 And obviously, I'm his little brother. So I'm like, yeah, pictures are stupid. Every time my parents would try to take a picture of us, we'd be like, now. Now I'm like, oh, what happened to us? Between six and 12, we just took no pictures. We have one box. There's five of us. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:50 There's one box. Oh, the family photos? Yes, from my dad, my mom, 77, 75 years old, all the way through all of us. And I'm 44, the youngest. We have one box of photos. Whoa. Because we weren't gay taking pictures in fucking public all the time. See, that's, yeah. I'm 44, the youngest. We have one box of photos. Whoa. Because we weren't gay taking pictures in fucking public all day. See, that's, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:07 I'm kidding. But that is, that's such little kid mentality. You're like, this is old people. Yeah, you go like, whenever an old person wants to take a photo, you feel like this is because they're dying. Yeah. And they want this. I'm young.
Starting point is 00:39:22 Dude. I'm going to live forever. I watch the- I don't need pictures. I watched the eclipse with my neighbor, John. And I'll send the picture because it's very cute. My neighbor, John, we were coming back from the gym, my girl and I. And as we're pulling up, we see John and his wife on our lawn because their tree is high.
Starting point is 00:39:39 So they're already, they're already poached up, you know? Yeah. And so we just watched it with him. His wife is a science teacher. She was a science teacher her whole life. So she's giving us great facts. And then at some point she just goes, yeah, this will probably be the last
Starting point is 00:39:56 eclipse we'll see. I was like... Oh, dude. Just squinting at the sun without my glasses on. I'm going to try and get out of this so um what'd you say about them yeah how do you pivot diamond ring thing yeah yeah yeah that stuff so my grandma was like that she made everything depressing while she was alive yeah yeah like everything like she found a way like, your grandpa probably doesn't have much time left.
Starting point is 00:40:25 And I'm like, I said thank you for the cornbread. And it's crazy because they never talked about sweet emotional stuff. They never got into what love is about or anything like that. And now it's just like, yeah, this is my last jacket. And you're like, Jesus Christ. I mean, this is my last jacket yeah you're like jesus christ i mean this is depressing one of the one of the last memories i have of my grandma was during covid and they wouldn't let us visit inside her nursing home and we we were outside her window visiting her what we were
Starting point is 00:40:59 outside her window visiting her because she cried she couldn't open the window you just talked through it yeah it was It was like a prison visit in the nursing home. It was so sad. God. Oh my God. Was that the last time you saw her? I saw her like once or twice maybe after that, but that was like, that was it.
Starting point is 00:41:17 Dude, when I see people get like shit. She was on the first floor? Yeah. Dude. I scaled this giant 34 floor yeah you're on one of those like mexican squeegee things the two guys are just pulling you out. With the helmet on, with the climbing helmet. Abuela! Just chalk. Abuela, he wants to talk to you. I want to say sorry to you. ¿Cómo se dice? ¡Muerta! Ask her when she's going to die.
Starting point is 00:41:55 Ask her when she's going to die. Ah, ¿cuándo? ¿Cuándo? I love that. Dipping your hands in that chalk bag. We go see grandpa. Dude, rock climbing to go see your dead grandpa what floor was she on it's so funny dude there's so many dudes that are like aggressively angry that they they took those years away from saying body of grand oh my god like only batman that's even better hanging upside down yeah
Starting point is 00:42:30 and i'm also picturing those like those middle school windows you know that just like punch out yeah oh yeah yeah god damn was it a nice establishment or did she get beaten there no i think it was nice i think it a nice establishment or did she get beaten there? No, I think it was nice. I think it was nice. Ever see those videos? Where they get beat up? Yeah. Oh, I haven't seen the videos.
Starting point is 00:42:50 The orderlies like knock around the women and men, punch them in the head and shit. Give them rib shots and they can't breathe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That stuff's so fucking scary. Dude, you'd have to be such a psychopath for. Dude, that gets me going. Same pedophile treatment if I see that person. I mean...
Starting point is 00:43:10 You know? Yeah. There's nothing more disgusting than beating up an old person. Yeah. Yeah. That does... That is scary thinking about, like, first of all, just being old. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:21 In a nursing home and getting your ass kicked. Yeah. I got to say, like, I hope I live a full enough life where my heart explodes before I go to the nursing home phase. I'll tell you what. The donuts aren't going to do it. You've got to come out with me a few times.
Starting point is 00:43:37 You've got to loosen the walls of that fucking heart. We've got to put some more sprinkles on that donut if you know what I'm talking about. That's not toasted coconut, is it? That's so funny. Just drinking at a bar, someone's like, no, I'm not drinking tonight. It's like, good luck in the nursing home.
Starting point is 00:43:55 Good luck with that, pal. You're going to regret taking care of yourself these years. This guy doesn't care about his future. You know, those livers, they can handle a lot you gotta really attack it yeah you are i remember telling my dad when he hit like 55 and now he's like he's 77 i remember hit like 55 60 i was like dude you're you're not that tough anymore you can't be acting like that you can't get in a fight at a red light you know what i mean he was doing like wild shit it's like you're not 35 anymore dude yeah it's that sports mentality you're like oh fuck him
Starting point is 00:44:29 it's like this guy will break your fucking nose yeah i don't know your frail bones can't handle it yeah but scary old men are really scary yeah you know what i mean an old man threatening to kick your ass from a car that's my uncle right back down my uncle ray is a bad motherfucker and he's like 65 60 something like that i mean if my dad yelled at somebody from a car my dad is 76 now he has that look of like like he would make something happen i never met him but he gave you that look because after that show you inherited your father's eyes came out of that right between that giant peak of yours yeah i saw dad's eyes somehow the eyes came out for the first time farther than the nose like the truck driver peewee herms yeah yeah yeah tell him launch on mom sent you
Starting point is 00:45:22 no you gotta you gotta warn him though That everyone's doing MMA now Yeah Every dude is doing MMA Yeah You gotta watch They're looking for a reason Yeah You gotta look for the
Starting point is 00:45:31 Pirate's booty years Yeah That's a callback Guys Pirate's booty It is Pirate's booty Second hour's gonna be fire Second hour
Starting point is 00:45:38 Slow start Yeah Cauliflower ear Cauliflower ear Used to be cool to me Now I think it's gay shit. Why is it only cauliflower ear? Why is it just cauliflower?
Starting point is 00:45:51 Why can't we get some other vegetables in there? Because I mean broccoli ears? Yeah. I guess it's mostly white guys. Oh. And the shape of it kind of resembles a cauliflower. Is that what it is? Is that why they call it cauliflower?
Starting point is 00:46:01 I'm guessing. I want them to make cauliflower ear headphones. So you're walking through a bad neighborhood, you can just throw them on. A little insert. Look like a problem. That's pretty cool. That's a good idea.
Starting point is 00:46:12 You just fucking listen to music. Dude, you could pull off cauliflower ear. You know what fake cauliflower is? Yeah. He looks like a wrestler type. They would be slightly different. You know what I mean? You get custom.
Starting point is 00:46:27 Yeah, they're just shaping slightly. One's more swollen like right here. Yeah. A silicone ear that goes over your ear that's already, it just goes up an inch. Yeah. Do you think anybody has ever had surgery to give themselves cauliflower ear? I don't think it's that hard to get. I'm certain of it's how many
Starting point is 00:46:46 thousands of hours of mat rolling i know steve-o did it as a stunt once to see how hard it would be and he got hit and it was oh like his his went away but like like he had temporary cauliflower and it was oh it was gnarly it was just from punching because i thought a lot of it's from mat rolling like smearing against the mat. No, no, it's contact. Oh. Yeah, yeah, it's hard contact. Because it's like the blood just like fills up. Yeah, it's cartilage.
Starting point is 00:47:11 It can be removed. They cut it open, pull it out. That's why, like, if you're not fighting anymore, I don't know, man, take your jersey off. You know what I'm saying? Right. Like, let's clear that out because you look ridiculous. Yeah, you can.
Starting point is 00:47:23 But I guess it's like, I don't know. And I can't make the beat. It's a badge of honor. Yeah, I think they keep it as like, yeah, I did that. Yeah. Yeah. Which, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:32 I guess that's kind of like a grandmom having a tattoo. Like an old man in the nursing home just with cauliflower ears. Like, I used to fuck kids up. You know what I mean? I used to roll around in the back and get high.
Starting point is 00:47:41 I mean, anybody. I bet your ears still look weird. With or without? After you get them removed. No. I bet your ears still look weird. With or without? After you get them removed. No, I've seen surgery afterwards. It looks normal? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:50 Yeah. It looks normal. All right. But it's all thin. I mean, you got to shape it and everything. Use the promo code Stuff Island. Yeah. To get cauliflower ear headphones.
Starting point is 00:48:03 10% off. It's actually a great idea, Chris. I think it is. It is actually good. Especially for fighters. There's enough people in MMA that would wear those. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:13 Yeah, they put it on top of their other cauliflower. Yeah. Just normal big ears. Just gigantic ears. But also, it's kind of like tit surgery for women like you could like scared straight you could put these on a kid before he joins mmi mma you know it's like this is what you're gonna look like it's like giving fake breasts to a woman like how big do you want it
Starting point is 00:48:38 you can wear these tits for a week let me know if they're too big for your friends and family do they really wear it for for a week they do the pregnancy thing right yeah yeah i'm not sure like the pregnancy suit oh that's a scared straight for teens yeah yeah where the bitch is acting up she's getting fingered in school and the parents are like you're going to this class and they make you wear the pregnancy thing they make you carry a baby that actually cries and shits itself yeah we had that that was like just part of like home ec that's good just make a girl take care of a baby yeah that's rich white shit a week i've never seen that anywhere else that's smart though you know i guess if the school can afford it why not yeah i mean they should do that for kids like
Starting point is 00:49:17 for drinking i wouldn't drink as much if they just gave me like that epicac every friday they fed you the shit that made you throw up and be hung over for the weekend we did we had those drunk glasses oh yeah i remember putting those on and i was like this is insane because i've never been drunk before so i was like this is what it's like you truly never have right yeah whoa so i put on the goggles and i did try to walk the line couldn't do it. Impossible, yeah. Could not do it at all.
Starting point is 00:49:46 That's crazy. Is that why you didn't drink or you just... No, no. But that's only the bad parts. I wasn't scared straight from the goggles. And they're like, well, we sold another one. But it's like, you know, it is only half of the experience. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:50:02 Sure. It's not like music is also sounding really good while you got those goggles on. Yeah. Yeah, right. But you don't have to kick a fat girl out of your bed in the morning.
Starting point is 00:50:11 It's just the first step. Dude, that's how they scare kids in high school when they get drunk. They're like, there's going to be a gross girl in your bed
Starting point is 00:50:21 the next day. Yeah. Who's the obvious girl in the class for you? Imagine her naked in your bed tomorrow. She's going to want to ask you for Uber money. Oh, dude, that would be so funny. You're going to be stopping off at a Wawa to wash your dick
Starting point is 00:50:32 in a sink. That would be so funny if that scared straight was just like while you were sleeping, a girl snuck into your bed and then you woke up and she was like, we're in a relationship. You're like, no, we're not. See you later tonight. And then you woke up and she was like, we're in a relationship. Yeah. You're like,
Starting point is 00:50:45 no, we're not. See you later tonight. Talk your way out of it. What do you want to eat? And just with that one pizza order to three years later, just because your dick wanted to get wet. Salvia. You little drunk.

Starting point is 00:51:58 bucks and it was just gone in the morning and they were like what happened to that thing and i was like i don't know oh my god they didn't further question you and like about it i mean i think they knew it's like it's one of those things where like i don't know when you're when someone's lying to you in a way that's like i don't even want to pick at this you know what i mean yeah this is such a bad lie this is so stupid i don't want to watch them try to answer it was like i think the energy you know what i mean sure like i it's upsetting to investigate like what's going to spill out of their head is going to be more upsetting than just them lying to me right now you know yeah you ever run into that situation yeah yeah but it never ends up like that my dad will just go if my mom's upset I get hit but if you do it to him he'll go
Starting point is 00:52:47 oh yeah? jackass? you don't think I fucking knew you took the jar of change? I know I'm not fucking stupid your mother would never take it your brother's not that stupid your other brother's not that stupid you're the dumbest one in the house
Starting point is 00:53:01 it happened with my dentist once I came back from a freshman year of college and I went to the dentist and he was like, you got to stop opening beer bottles with your teeth. And I was like, what? I don't do that. And he was like, okay. I'm looking at it now.
Starting point is 00:53:18 I'm looking at the marks. The deep scarring. On your teeth and your gums from doing those. No, my mom was like fucking nuts my mom sent my brother steve to aa when he was like 18 because she was afraid he was drinking in the woods too much like my dad's like gene we just he's just a kid yeah let him be a fucking he's a wood drinker but there's nothing wrong with that he's, is Dennis Doster a drinker? He's finding his way in life. Through the 18th.
Starting point is 00:53:48 18th hole. So one time, me and my buddies were drinking in my basement because my mother was a night nurse. My dad was out or something. And I heard her walk in. There was no room in the fridge, so I put a 30-bird of bush underneath the kitchen table. And I remember I had this small little circle table like here. There was no room in the fridge, so I put a 30-bird of bush underneath the kitchen table. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:05 And remember, I have this small little circle table like here. And I heard, she goes, Tom. And everyone's just scary. So we put all our beers in the pockets of the pool table. Yeah. And then one kid went behind this hole. And then she walks down, and I was like, yeah. And everyone's just standing holding a stick
Starting point is 00:54:25 yeah acting like we're not fucked up i think we're like sophomores yeah and then she goes all right well i'm just checking on you and then goes back upstairs and i am circling like a fucking bull yeah dude i am fucked and they're like relax and she didn't say anything i'm like no no no every time she comes home from work she has a bowl of cereal at that fucking table she kicks that 30 bird we're all fucked so she sure enough tom come here that was like a walk of death because all i could see is my dad's belt was it full or had you drank some of it no we only had one i'd say one third out so there was like 20 beers in there. Yeah, that's the worst. When they find like a 30 rack with like three beers left in it, you're like.
Starting point is 00:55:10 So why did you put it in the kitchen? There was only like, I'm sorry, what? Why'd you put it in the kitchen though? Why did you store it there? I don't know. Because I was fucking dumb as shit. Yeah. Because where we started storing it was, there was a door.
Starting point is 00:55:21 You know those. Yeah, the cellar doors. The cellar doors that go out there was a little cellar area like we had at the astoria it was one of those that went underneath the deck i should have put everything out there but i didn't she wasn't supposed to come home right and she takes us upstairs she goes everybody come up come on i'm like mom don't do not rat rat these kids out you can't call anyone. That'll fuck up my whole high school career. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:46 My whole high school career. So instead, well, friends. You know what I mean? Yeah. It was only a sophomore. Two more years to hell. There's Pope, that rat, you know? So she sits down in the living room,
Starting point is 00:55:59 and even worse than calling their parents, she hands out pamphlets on alcoholism and AA. Oh. She had pamphlets ready to go? And just started giving the speech. She was shaving those for a rainy day. Yeah, and then she goes, who drank what? I want to know.
Starting point is 00:56:15 And our boy Izzy, hero, went, I drank them. Oh, wow. You drank all those beers. There was only like 10 left. I forgot. We drank like 20. You drank all those beers. There was only like 10 left. I forgot. We drank like 20. You drank like 20 beers. And he's like, yeah, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:56:30 And we're all like, yeah, he did. It's crazy. Wow, dude. That guy's a legend. She let him all go without a fucking warning. Yeah. She did the right thing outside of that creepy, you know, priest. Did she call your buddy?
Starting point is 00:56:45 No. She didn't call your buddy? No. She didn't call anyone. She's... Yeah. Wow. Yeah. She just thought he was a bad kid when he wasn't. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:52 She was like, is that kid Andrew going to be there? I think it was Izzy. So I have a similar but very different story of... I used to... Back in the day, I used to shoot a lot of jackass home videos, right? And I went and shot some jackass stuff with a buddy in Missouri. We were visiting his family. And it was a very small religious town in Missouri.
Starting point is 00:57:22 And we went ding-dong ditching on camera, door-to-door, in man thongs. I was getting humiliated in this scenario. No, exactly, exactly. But the weird thing is, though, is that we would ding-dong ditch and we'd laugh and we'd run away we wouldn't wait for the reaction yeah so we were just filming people's houses of us and man thongs and with no reactions yeah so like there was no payoff other than like dude we filmed at that person's house dressed like that and uh we are right after we do it we're in the living room of his parents house it's late and
Starting point is 00:58:09 we're like laughing and stuff we're watching it in their living room and he walks and he goes is that the reeds house and we're and we're like uh we like we scramble we try to like turn it off real quick. He goes, no, no, no, no. Turn it on. Rewind it. Oh, my God. He makes us watch it with him. He's the pastor of the town. What, the guy that's watching it? Yes.
Starting point is 00:58:33 No, no. The guy who's watching it is the pastor of that town. I was hanging with the pastor's sons. Oh, my God. So he is watching it back and he's just like looking at this like, what kind of devil
Starting point is 00:58:48 has inhabited my boys? What came out of my penis. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we're watching. Because that's like a major scandal
Starting point is 00:58:55 in religious town. Well, especially in a religious town. It's the pastor's son. We're like in like nothing. Just a man in a thong. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:03 Just that alone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's weird. It's enough to call them gay. Yeah. They're going to hell. Also, we're like in just a man in a thong yeah yeah it's just that alone yeah yeah it's weird enough to call them gay yeah they're going to hell also we're filming stuff we film stuff us running down their main street of the town like watch the whole tape he watched the part where you guys start sucking each other's dick he's like and he's like rewind that again again. I'm a pastor. I have a heart.
Starting point is 00:59:25 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So basically, we obviously, we get in trouble. And for the longest time, I looked similar to like same build as one of his sons. And the mom, for the longest time, thought that it was their son on video and they were making me film it. They didn't realize that I was in the video. And then he goes, wait, you thought that that was me son on video and they were making me film it. They didn't realize that I was in the video. And then he goes, wait, you thought that that was me in the video.
Starting point is 00:59:48 That wasn't me. That was Jeremiah. He ratted me out like weeks later. And then I was never allowed in their house again because they thought that I was the bad influence on their boys. Yeah, you were. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:59:59 I was. You definitely were. Did they talk to your parents about it? No, they didn't. It was, I think it was so embarrassing for them. I was. Did they talk to your parents about it? No, they didn't. I think it was so embarrassing for them as religious people that they didn't want the story to spread anymore. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 01:00:11 So they just kept it inside. So that's why he didn't go to the Reed's house, take them by the hand and say, apologize. Yeah. Well, also, they would have opened their doors and they would have seen nobody because we were on to the next house. Yeah. Yeah. It made no sense. It made no sense.
Starting point is 01:00:25 Like the logic of it was like, we're getting these people. We're ding dong ditching. Just open the door and you're doing it next door. Yeah. What? Huh? Weird.
Starting point is 01:00:34 What is happening? You guys in a thong? All right, dude, what do you got to plug? Well, come see stand up on the spot with Tommy Pope. Yeah.
