I was just telling you, I'm a little hungover from donuts last night.
Jesus Christ.
Too many donuts.
What the fuck?
How does that happen?
I went to, you know...
Are you filling a void?
Where were you getting the donuts, by the way?
Just Voodoo.
Just the tourist spot.
I go there.
I like it.
I haven't been.
Oh, you haven't?
I haven't been to Voodoo Donuts.
I've been to one.
I got too excited.
Sorry.
You haven't been to Voodoo?
Wait, is that the same one in Portland?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I've been to that one.
I even got a Portland cream last night.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Portland cream pie. Yeah? Portland cream pie
When a woman protester holds up a sign
You come on her back
I never liked
I didn't like a Boston cream pie
I didn't either
You don't like the fillings?
No, I hated the fillings
The strawberry filling, I hated it
I fucked with jellies
The cream's too much
Dude, my buddy had a banana cream pie donut last night,
and I was like, he ate the front half,
and I was like, let me hit it from the back.
So I was like, yeah, I ate it a little bit from the back,
and I was like, this is gross.
Are these like ex-drug addicts or alcoholics
that are trying to find something in their entertainment life maybe maybe they're
they're recovering people or yeah they're they used to be former addicts or something like that
you're either a gym rat or a donut rat yeah i feel like it's got to be hard to be critical of
someone's 2 a.m donut choice you know yeah i was getting you're like you're eating donuts
meanwhile i got a half bag of coke in my fifth pocket like dude i bought you green
do you even care about your body?
You're going to have to run tomorrow, dude.
I'm running in my sleep right now.
Yeah, I had that and milk at like 2.30, and it was a little bit of a mistake.
But it tasted so good.
So what do you eat?
You just roll around in a hotel bed?
No, I was so tired.
I fell asleep immediately.
Yesterday was a lot, dude.
Yeah.
I got blisters on the bottom of both of my big toes.
From pool?
From pool.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
like he didn't get in trouble at all he is gonna get in trouble is he i think he's trying which i
mean i still i don't know well i bet his family's
like you know it's just crazy it's like dude if he if you're given how is that on you you're an
actor yeah right yeah i'm getting the story right right yeah somebody gave him the prop gun there
was actually you know the prop guy should be and but it wasn't it wasn't he doing it like all said
fucking around so it wasn't like a it wasn't a recording no no no it was him fucking around that's why it's his problem
i don't think so i think it was that he like there's supposed to be i guess like a process
where like you do a take with the fake rounds then you like every time you expend the rounds
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.
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...
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Nope.
Britain?
No.
China? No. China? Russia? Nope. Britain? No. China?
No.
China?
Russia?
Are you serious?
Oh, wait.
France.
What?
Okay.
France.
France.
1977.
Publicly?
Yes.
No.
Yes.
You got to watch it.
I guess.
I haven't looked for footage anywhere.
That's my Super Bowl.
1977.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
Oh, God.
He's muzzy.
Oh, wow.

Beth, delete the footage.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
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.
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.
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
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.
Yeah.
Well,
go ahead.
So,
the Phillies
start losing
the World Series and it's becoming very clear as the night goes on.
Well,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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,
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
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?
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.
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
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
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
talk about it on a stuff island eventually yeah yeah god damn it yeah you blacked out is is me
normal improv dude chris was just like chris and I spoke the next day. Chris and I spoke the next day.
What about this?
I'm like, no.
Nobody.
No.
No, not that.
Yeah.
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.
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.
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
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.
Yeah. Oh. And then we did all
that activity. Yeah. I got a
fucking cut on my knee from running to the
pool design is
bananas.
Because you can't go back and forth.
I got gripes.
Chris is like, well, for a normal person, it's pretty standard.
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.
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
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?
No.
Did you ever play with those?
Huh?
The floating baskets?
No.
Did you ever play with those?
No.
You play like a full...
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
you you got to do this shame picking me up and throwing me all over dude i'm like i'm in you're
like shane the owner of the house was dunking me in his pool that's why we got invited yes yeah
just want to abuse two has two small guys.
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.
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
like jump on a mattress
to get the water log out
I think I'll just wait it out
no that's how you get a clog
give myself C to E
no no you always do this
you gotta get it out
you leave it? yeah how You got to get it out. No, I can't. You leave it?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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?
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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,
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.
Wasted three years of goddamn life.
So what are we doing today?
Yeah.
What are we doing today?
Yeah.
I was thinking about,
I had plans with my friends.
Well,
what have we, what have we doing today yeah I was thinking about my friends well what a bit shut up oh man this view is crazy dude what are you thinking nice for you I was just thinking about Chris where did you go where'd you go yeah you
always do this when we hang out and then you were like nothing i was
just thinking thinking what like i don't want to talk about it when you're drunk as a kid
just dealing with your parents yeah the gauntlet of getting away from getting away with drinking
was so fun yeah we talked about on the pod before the money shoes by the washer my dad always knew
where we hid the booze i'll tell you i remember i stole my parents change
bowl and just bought a bunch of beers you bought beer with the change yeah yeah it was like a big
like old like mason jar full of change it was like 80 i was gonna say yeah yeah probably some bucco
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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
has inhabited my boys?
What came out of my penis.
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
And we're watching.
Because that's like
a major scandal
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
What is happening?
You guys in a thong?
